Francis is the absolute best house/cat/dog sitter we have ever had! We can't believe how lucky we are to have found her and are so grateful for all she did to take care of our cat and dog! I swear she left our house cleaner than we did! I have never been able to leave our pets with anyone except for family so meeting Francis and being able to trust her and have such a great experience was a godsend. Book her immediately! I have absolutely no reservations about wholeheartedly recommending her.

I have worked with Kathryn for 2 years and have built a relationship with her outside of work as well. Kathryn has always had a passion for animals and took very good care of her own cat, I remember being at work and she would check in on her cat through the camera she set up for her. She would also go back to her house in Norwich from Foxwoods during her lunch break to check in on her cat. Kathryn currently works for All Bright Canines and is with animals on a daily base. She is in college as well online, very well rounded. I trust Kathryn to take care of my animals and she is going to be taking care of my two dogs when I go away on vacation!

Charlene did an outstanding job. She communicated with us the entire time supplying pictures and video of our pets. She followed the feeding and caring directions for our cat, chinchilla, bunny and fish perfectly. Our cat, who is somewhat judgmental, loved her. Don’t hesitate to book Charlene

About: I have lived with a dog in my family for as long as I can remember. I have had three dogs (Cherry and Dutty) and am currently petsitting my sister's dog (Thor) on weekday mornings. Thor used to live with me and my family but my sister has recently moved out. I love being around dogs because they show you so much affection without speaking. I always look forward to taking care of my sister's dog. I walk Thor around my neighborhood so he can get some exercise and lead a long healthy life. My sister went to the vet for a check-up and told her he has lost three pounds since I started walking him more :). I also bathe Thor on a monthly basis. My past dog, Dutty, was a smaller dog but I took care of him with the basics such as walking, baths, etc. I was still in my child/adolescent years when Dutty was around. I also have four guinea pigs with two being male (Coconut and Milo) and the other two being female (Peanut and Peanut Jr.). Peanut Jr. is the daughter of Peanut and Milo. Having four guinea pigs is not easy but it has helped tremendously with taking care of dogs. I would say it has made taking care of dogs much easier! I am currently free for most of the week. If you ask for a schedule that I can't attend to, I will let you know. Opening right now are mornings - 10 AM and 2PM -evenings. Every day on a weekday, my sister drops off Thor in the morning at our house. Usually, Thor has already been taken out before my sister drops her off but I take him out if that isn't the case. He is also fed in the morning. Thor seems to be very picky with his food so I have to mix up wet food with his dry food. After this, I leave Thor with my mother so I can feed my guinea pigs and clean their cage. They are in a locked room that Thor can't access for their safety. I try to give Thor as much attention as he likes to cuddle and also be around someone. Even when he is sleeping, he prefers that someone is in the same room with him. Sometimes, I have to watch my nephew for a bit because my mother babysits him while my brother and sister-in-law are at work. Thor is usually happy being around my nephew so it all works out! I make sure Thor isn't rummaging through garbage and pick up anything on the floor that is toxic. Since Thor sheds constantly, I always have to clean the floor to keep the house tidy. I try to walk Thor every three hours and I also would go to my backyard to play with him so he can get some sun.

Reilynn has been our house/dog sitter for years and I can't imagine life without her. She is punctual, trustworthy, hard working, and a great communicator. Reilynn is always there for our family, even on short notice. The piece of mind she gives us is priceless. The compassion she shows our two pups and 1 kitty cat is wonderful and we trust her wholehearted. We cannot recommend Reilynn's services enough- she is the real deal!

To Whom This May Concern, I am writing this letter on behalf of my sister Patrice Carrignan in regards to her potential employment with rover. I would like to offer my enthusiastic recommendation for Patrice as I believe she would be an asset and responsible team member for your agency. Throughout her life I have watched her grow within each work environment as a reliable and professional employee. Animals have always been a passion for Patrice growing up as she has had her own Dogs that she has raised and taken great care of. Her personality is bubbly, friendly and loving to everyone around her. The amount of happiness I see within her while working with at the animal shelter shows her compassion to help within this field. I trust her to care for my pets and she would be a great choice to care for yours to.

About: I am an avid dog lover who has had a dog for over 30 years. I love all different breeds of dogs, and currently have a Maltese, Bichon, and and a Shitzu. I also am a Certified Vet Assistant, and love being with all animal types. I live on a small farm and recently opened my own pet sitting business because of my love and knowledge of animals. If you need somebody reliable , loving, and vet certified I am the person you need.When you cant be there for your pet I Will. Safety, trust and love. Exercise, playing, and walking a must. Being respectful and having pet insurance, helps the customer be at ease. Care, love and dog communication at its best. Constantly paying great attention to whichever client is in my home along with some space, and getting the animal adjusted to a new setting. Having the pet be comfortable with the new surroundings is vitally important.
