About: I am a 36 year old woman who loves loves loves animals especially DOGS ! I currently have two dogs, Bennie (whom I've had for 13 years) and Max. This is my first time professionally putting myself out there to take care of others animals, but my experience comes from the love and care i provide my own two little dogs. I've owned a total of 4 dogs and they are beyond amazing. I have a balcony , parks very close by, lots of toys and most importantly patience and love to care for dogs. Please be advised that i work professionally 8-4pm during the weekday, i am normally home by 6:45 pm (i am able to negotiate workable drop off and pick up times) My weekends are free all day Saturday through Sunday. I also own a doggy camera so your dogs will be safe and secured. I love animals and love to host all different types of breeds, big, small, old, puppies you name it. This is an amazing learning experience for me and i have a great understanding for animal behavior. I fully present with the animals. I have enough space in my apartment to provide eating and sleeping sections for dogs that i board. They will be provided with comfort and space to play on a carpeted balcony. They also are walked 3 times per day.
“Betsey is wonderful! This was her second time caring for our kitties. She is incredibly responsive and gave us daily updates and photos. Despite the kitties being very shy, Betsey tried her best to make contact and lure them out with treats. We are very comfortable leaving them in her care. Thank you Betsey!”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the personalized care and attention I give to every dog. I treat each pet like a member of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I provide plenty of playtime, exercise, updates, and affection, while also following each dog’s unique routine and needs. With my experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, pet owners can feel confident knowing their furry friend is in a caring and reliable environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule. As a teacher, I have a structured routine and plenty of experience providing care, supervision, and attention throughout the day. During the summer, I am home full-time, which allows me to dedicate even more time to the pets in my care. This means frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Because I am home, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy a safe, comfortable, and attentive environment while their owners are away. I have a fenced yard with a nice size backyard where the dogs can run around and enjoy the weather. And they will be supervised
About: I have grown so fond of taking care of fur babies the more years I do it. I enjoy working with all different breeds and building a connection to the pets I take care of. I’ve learn to work with all ages, breeds, behaviors. The best part? Knowing that people entrust me to bring their fur babies back to me, and knowing that the dogs are excited to return. I have a part time job currently so I have plenty of time to be with your pet(s) whenever I’m not at work, so it’s flexible. I like to thoroughly ask questions about the dog I’ll be taking care of (food, any medications? Exercise? Do they like to play? Etc.) I want to make sure not only yourself but the dog is as comfortable as can be.
About: Ive taken care of dogs at a very young age considering Ive had them as pets. To me, animals are a part of your family who you may not always trust with just anyone. I guarantee to care, love, and have best forms of communication when welcoming your pets into my home. Im currently working a part/time as a medical assistant in milford. With weekends completely off, my weekly schedule varies but i do have an hour lunch which allows me to stop home. My lovely humble home has a fenced backyard and offers two parks & grass field I can walk them to for some exploring. I currently have no pets so all my focus will be on your pup. Im completely comfortable with being on furniture or snuggling with me. I consider myself a very disciplined human with day to day goals and routines, meaning I will respect all rules and accommodations to your pups food schedule, walking and Potty trainings.
“It was my first time experience using Rover to find a pet sitter to visit my cat while I'm on vacation. And I'm very happy that I found Hannah. She is an amazing person and a great communicator. She explained everything, came for a meet and greet visit and kept me updated on a daily basis. I felt at ease while on vacation knowing that my cat is well taken care of by Hannah. I will definitely use Hannah's assistant again and highly recommended her as a reliable pet sitter who takes a great care of pets.”
“Moe has been so great for my pups. She stops in to let them out and play with them while I’m at work. She’s very communicative about her schedule and I get picture every time!”
About: I work at a doggy day care, and spend over 25 hours every week there. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and believe every dog deserves all the love and care they can get. I work part-time with dogs, so pet care naturally fits into my schedule. I’m used to early mornings, mid-day breaks and evening cuddle sessions. I’m happy to fit my schedule around your pets needs. I make sure they are always supervised, comfortable, and in a secure environment. I follow any special instructions provided and I’m used to keeping dogs happy, healthy, and stress-free! With lots of love and care included!
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was a child! My dream is to own a rescue for all animals someday. I have experience at a horse rescue and farm in Monroe CT and I cared for 12 rescue horses! I love all animals big and small fur and scales. I have worked in a veterinary hospitals as a client service representative and have always loved animals! I live and breathe animals! I love dogs so much they truly deserve the upmost care and love. My heart beats for them and all animals. They are the more pure and precious souls. We truly can learn so much from them. If only more people would love like they do. I hope to spread this message and help all fur and scale babies! I have also volunteered in adoption services for cats and helped them find loving homes. I am currently a dog groomer in training and absolutely love my job and giving the upmost care and love to animals. I am currently available at any time. As I am currently looking for a job specifically in the animal field. I am waiting to hear from a veterinarian at this moment for a position in Stratford. I take care of my cats and mother in laws cat. I feed them and clean the litter boxes each day and provide fresh water. I also play with them and give treats. They always get to sleep and cuddle with me and are free range indoor kitties. They may go where they please. They are my sweet babies. Pretty much my sons and daughters with fur lol. ❤️🥹♾️🙏😻🐱🐾
About: I have a lot of experience with training dogs and taking care of them due to me having so many growing up. I have had about five dogs and did all the training for them. I use to work at a dog day care where I would watch various breeds all day long. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs of all sizes. My schedule is very flexible; I am not currently working at the moment so I will have a lot of one on one time with the pets. I have a big fenced in yard so the pets will be able to run around and have fun. I also have a pool so if they like to swim they can during the summer time. My neighborhood is dog friendly and I’ll be able to walk them around with no problem. At a clients home I’ll be able to do what is asked of me on time and make sure I know the area. I would also make sure to know the pet itself and know what they like to do and how they like to play.
“Taylor is fantastic with our dog! She takes great care of her, is on time and communicates clearly about her visits! Cheez is always happy and calm when we come home from her time with Taylor and we love that we have someone we can trust to care for her while we’re away!”
About: I bring 24 years of pet care experience, from raising a beloved cat for 21 years to caring for my current dog, Kylo, for 3 years. Your pup will enjoy a big, secure fenced backyard for play and plenty of loving attention! I work from home, so I’m always around to provide attentive care. My dog, Kylo, is my constant companion, and your pup will be treated like part of the family with plenty of supervision, playtime, and love throughout the day. I provide a safe, secure, and loving environment for every pet. With a fenced-in backyard in a quiet neighborhood, your pup can enjoy safe playtime and relaxation. I’m dedicated to ensuring they feel at home, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home.
“Jay was great with my dogs who together are the ultimate challenge - big, strong and like two brothers that have to wrestle constantly. He took great care of them and instinctively knew how to handle them. I will be using him again.”
About: Socialized dogs will absolutely have a great time staying with me as we spend time at the dog park and make new friends! High energy pups are my favorite as I'm a long distance runner and can handle extended walks/runs with your buddy. I've had 3 years experience at dog kennels and was responsible for monitoring group play of up to 20 dogs in one yard. Puppy group play was my favorite and most intensive role as I was trained to recognize dog body language and maintain safety when pups were getting too ruff. During my time in kennels, I also was able to provide scheduled feedings and administer oral medications daily. My family owns an elderly dog with arthritis, and during cold months I am willing to carry dogs up/down stairs to avoid slips on snow/ice. During a long-term stay I will gladly spend time with your pooch for walks, play time and socializing, naps, massages, and feedings. Observing dog behavior during each of these parts of our day is important to me. This allows me have a detailed report of your pet's stay when you return. Keeping track of any behavioral, digestive, or sleep-related issues is always made a top priority for my guests. I typically begin my day with walking any dogs that are staying overnight with me, could be at the dog park, then feeding them, and then heading out for 1-2 hours to walk my regular clients on weekdays. With winter approaching, we may need to minimize time spent on walks during heavy snow/rain. However, larger breeds who can handle snow days are encouraged to stay with me for extended outdoor play. It's very important to me to establish trust with new dogs at their own pace. This is easily done by giving the typical commands and rewarding with treats, as well as affirming trust on leashed walks. In my apartment building there are other dogs who live on my floor, and I'm very vigilant about who is in the hallway or stairwells when I am taking a dog outside. Within my apartment unit, your pet can freely relax on the couch or large rugs I have. Smaller breeds are also welcome to relax on my bed along with me when its time to sleep. I do my best to keep dogs calm and like to be hands on with lots of belly rubs and ear scratching as most dogs seem to really enjoy that. Its also important to me to clean my apartment before and after I have pets staying overnight.

I’m always able to be present and attentive with providing the best care for your pets and mine. I provide a safe and happy environment for your pets including all of the essentials that they may need. I make sure that they always have fresh water , food, and snuggles (if desired)!
About: I believe what sets me apart from other walkers is I take my time I’m more willing to let this take my whole day up because I love animals so much! I actually plan on taking dog training more seriously as a career considering I’ve been doing it for 8 years now. I can teach your puppy the basics for a small additional price, such as heel, sit, lay down, come, and I also am great with potty training puppies! I’m willing to help extra as well for no money at all! I also go to the extend of researching certain topics such as dogs diets, training, exercise, grooming and more! I am a Maligator mom (Belgian Malinois Mom) of Two and a Cat mom to six so I have no Off time, if I’m not at work or school! Pet care fits in my schedule hourly, daily, monthly, and yearly. I go for Hikes, Clubs, Farms, Vacations, and Etc with my animals for there needs and fun! I love this life and would not trade it for nothing! I’m eager to help others and even give others some of my knowledge so they can give there animals better lives. I Walk, Feed, play, cuddle, clean, bathe, and can take your dog to the Vet! I can even take them on hikes with me! I care for all animals with love, affection, and most important treats! I love to teach digs new things and give them more confidence in themselves and there families! One of the best things I can do is help you and your dog have the best life together possible! I even end up buying them new toys because I love to spoil them!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Stratford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Stratford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
