We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Drake ]took amazing care of our pups while we were away—providing regular updates, photos, and making sure our dogs felt loved and comfortable. It was clear from the start that he genuinely cares about animals. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone responsible, kind, and trustworthy!

10/10!! Ally took the time to come meet my pup Jax prior to her first visit so we made sure he and she were comfortable! She takes him on adventures to different parks and bodies of water so he can let his energy out while his momma works! And she is always sure to send pictures, videos, and all updates! Happy pup, happy life!

Annette was so wonderful with our rambunctious English Bulldog. She took the time to understand her needs and kept us updated with lots of pictures. Gertrude can’t wait to see her again!

About: Hi paw friends 🐾 I am somewhat new to Rover but I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always helped my family and friends care for their animals and I always enjoyed doing it. My husband and I got married four years ago and our little girl is three. It's amazing to see her interact with the dogs because she gets more comfortable and happier each time. We will eventually get a dog when the time is right, but I love Rover because it’s give me the opportunity to still bond with pups. I truly love being around animals. Our families sometimes come to stay with us with their dogs and I get a crazy burst of happiness every time. Life is just better with a dog around and I would love to care and help with your pups! :) I know it can be tough trusting your animals in others hands but rest assured that your pet will be in great hands with me & I will send plenty of updates and pictures 📸🐾 I currently work part time (every weekend). So I am free to take care of your pups during the week and still on weekends when I’m home. I still offer some services on the weekends. I will care for the pet how the owner(s) want me to care for them. They will always bed fed, hydrated, clean, warm, and the happiest they can be in my home. My home isn't that big so someone is always around. I am not an out-going person, I do have a good amount of friends but they all come to my house since I am the mama of the group :)

Kelsey is wonderful. We knew Kelsey was a good match BUT we were 100% in when our two dogs were instantly relaxed with her . This is not the case more often than not for our Chi mix . Kelsey provides updates when she arrives and based on pictures she sends Milo and Lili are on totally board with their new friend. Even with current higher than normal temps, she is aware of the heat , pavement temp and keeping Lili and Milo in the shade so they do not overheat. Thank you Kelsey! This has been a huge help to us and we appreciate you taking good care of our furbabies. PS our cat, Waffles, seems to be passing on his overly rambunctious love to Kelsey also!!

Julia took great care of our two cats while we were away. She checked on them each day, kept their bowls filled and their litter boxes clean, and played with them. We looked forward to hearing from her each visit. And she braved an historic snowstorm to do so! Thank you for going above and beyond, Julia! We look forward to working with her in the future.

About: My family has had dogs my entire childhood and currently have 2 of my own and they bring such joy to one's day. One of my dogs is 14yrs old so I have experience in caring for older pets and my other dog is a couple years old with a ball of energy so if you have pets with high energy, I'm very prepared to either know how to calm them down or match their energy for a day of fun! I work a 9-5 M-F but I'm happy to stop by after work for feeding, walks, or quality hang-out time. On weekends, I'm fully available and ready to be your pets best friend! I take the time to follow all care instructions to a tee and will be respectful of your home keeping everything clean and organized while you're away. Sadly, I'm not able to bring pets back to where I live, as one of my dogs get anxious around other pets, but I'm more than happy to provide care in your home with my drop-in visits which helps reduce stress and keeps them happy and comfortable in a familiar space. I'm available mostly on the weekends as I work a full time job but I can drop in for feeding after work during the week. If your dog needs to be in a crate after visits, I can make sure to do that. I bring a very calm energy so if your pets have any kind of anxiety, I can always make them comfortable and calm them down to reassure them that they are safe and cared for.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I will treat your pet as one of my own! :) I will listen to your instructions perfectly. I take my work seriously and will provide the best care possible for your pet. This includes walking, feeding, playing, and anything else you need from me related to your pet’s care. I am currently working a full time job and am a graduate student, so check my calendar to see when I am free. We should be able to work something out. I am able and willing to take care of your pet on weekdays in the early morning and after work (typically after 4 or 5 pm). On Saturdays and Sundays, I am free all day to take care of your pet. The safety of your pet and the trust that you and I have are extremely important to me. If there are specific tasks I should not do, please let me know. Typically, I will feed your pet as per instructions, play with them, and take them on walks (I will ask you how long of a walk). We will discuss and go into detail on your pet’s care.

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, and adopted a pug of my own 12 years ago, so I understand what an important part of the family pets are. I’ve watched dogs from 2 months to 14 years old, from an overweight chihuahua to an old Great Dane. Currently I have a labradoodle and French bulldog that I’ve raised since they were puppies. Currently working from home, so I have time to pop in and check on your pups, or dog sit on the weekends if you need. I will treat your pets like my own - walking them, administering medications, feeding them, whatever is needed. Happy to help take care of your pets.

About: Your custom care is here. I’ve taken care of German Shepherds and small teacup poodles. Let me know what you need and I will do my best! I’m a full-time teacher so I get out of school at four so I can walk your dog then. I work in Hartford so I can also let your fur baby out on my break. Let me know if you need me watch or sit any of your pets over the weekend. Blessings! I live in a large condo association with lots of paved areas to walk. Some elevation and other friendly dogs around here. There’s a large vacant parking lot if they want to throw a ball or frisbee. There is a trail nearby if they want to walk in the woods or on rocks and dirt.

Elizabeth did an amazing job at the very last minute when I asked her to watch our newly adopted seven month old lab mixed puppy, Rocky. She even had to make a couple of late night visits, to make sure Rocky was going to be able to make it through the night. And then turned around early in the morning to let them out and let him stretch his legs. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am that Elizabeth allowed me to relax while we fulfilled commitment we had made prior to adopting a puppy! We will definitely be asking her, and her sweet son, to visit Rocky and give him some more loving.

About: Welcome, y'all! I love watching dogs. We watch kitty cats too 😁. Cheapest rates around! Let me make it easier for you to celebrate your vacation and holidays! Let me sit for your pup. I...love... dogs! My parents were dog breeders for years. As a youngster, I was responsible for many of the chores. As an adult, I have always had pets. I know how important your dog is to you. Your dog is your 'baby'. We are definitely dog lovers in this house! Big dog specialist. I love the little dogs too, though! ☺️💪🎄🎁❤️‍🩹 I will treat your pup like my own. I am a teacher during the day. I'm usually home by 3. I'm home every afternoon and every night and every weekend. I do have flexibility in my work schedule should they need arise. I have a dog lead hooked up to the house and it goes all the way back to the maple tree on the back of the property. 20 ft in either direction gives Fido plenty of room to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, your pup is in the house with me and my family. I am offering dog boarding services. This is a friendly Christian home. Lots of love to share.

Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a calm, loving home where your pet is treated like family.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my whole life and always had a dog growing up, so being around pets has always felt natural to me. While I don’t currently have my own dog, taking care of someone else’s dog gives me that same joy and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ve dog sat for multiple people in the past and also help with cat sitting for my neighbor from time to time. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and following each pet’s routine, whether that means burning off energy or enjoying some quiet cuddle time. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well loved while you’re away. I work a 9–5 Monday through Friday, but I’m happy to stop by in the mornings or after work for feeding, walks, or quality hang-out time. I also have no issue staying over during the week if needed. On weekends, I’m fully available and open for business! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to follow all care instructions closely, maintain routines, and make sure pets feel secure and well cared for in their own environment. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and organized while you’re away. Unfortunately, I’m not able to bring pets back to where I live, but I’m more than happy to provide care in your home, including drop-in visits and overnight stays. I believe caring for pets in their familiar space helps reduce stress and keeps them happy and comfortable.

About: I've had pets since I was a kid including dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish etc. My neighbors have relied on me to take care of their animals as well as family members. Patience and attentive care for all pets. I'm available weeknights after 5:30PM and most weekends. I don't have any pets at home so I'm looking forward to taking care of other pets and helping others. Some of my pets have been crate trained so I'm familiar with having to put dogs in crates. I am open to taking dogs on walks or just letting them out in a fenced in yard.

Jennifer is just the BEST she noticed my younger dog wasn’t quite himself and gave him extra TLC. He had probably gotten into something during his woods wanders and she kept an eye on him and checked in to make sure there was nothing special she needed to do. Conscientious kind and very rreponsibel and communicative. A Rover all star for sure. Thanks Jennifer!!

Last minute dog care and she was wonderful! She even helped pick up some items that fell outside the house due to a storm while we were away. Plus she communicated anything that she had concerns about our house we were out of town. Very detailed reports and cute pictures of our doggie :) 100% recommend and definitely use her again!
