Personalized care for your dog or cat - Bethlehem
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bethlehem
“We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”
“We had such a great experience with Jennifer who care of our dog, Daisy, for almost a week. Jennifer was very communicative throughout the week - keeping us updated throughout our trip with thoughtful messages and plenty of photos showing Daisy relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoying her time with Jennifer and her family. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Daisy was in such caring and capable hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jennifer again—highly recommended!”
“Liliana & her husband were very good with Luigi. They both took the time during our Meet & Greet to ask questions and get to know him. Liliana sent pictures during his stay and he looked happy out on his afternoon walks.”
“Jessica and Ian were terrific! We went away to a family wedding and I was so nervous leaving my 17 year old Bo. When interviewing them I told them about Bo being elderly with walking issues and other elderly ailments, and they assured me that they had no problem, loved elderly dogs, and would take great care of him. Well they were right!! He settled right in and looked so happy in the pics they sent. And he was fine and relaxed when we picked him up.”
“James and family were wonderful with our dog, taking him in for a week while we went on a recent trip. His communication was thorough to assure us that things were going well, along with any questions about his care as needed. It was evident that our dog endeared himself to their family and had a great stay. We would definitely recommend James for any dog sitter needs and would rebook him as a dog sitter for future occasions”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our dog anywhere else other than our home. It was a little bit stressful, and we had a bit of anxiety, but Erika made us feel so at ease. We received multiple updates during the day. She sent many pictures and really made us feel comfortable knowing that Ginger was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and book again.”
“Elizabeth was amazing! We truly could not have asked for a better boarding experience. Our dog Luna is pretty nervous around new people, but Elizabeth and her family created a safe, comfortable environment that allowed Luna to come out of her shell. The regular updates and photos we received throughout our trip were much appreciated. I would recommend Elizabeth to any dog owner in a heartbeat 🐾”
“Robin is always so wonderful with our dog, Adelaide. She does regular drop in visits with her so when we need boarding services, Robin is always our first choice! She shows our dog so much care, attention and love.”
“Maizie's stay with Claudia represented one of the first times we've ever left her for an extended time, and it sounds like she experienced some initial separation anxiety. However, my sense is that Claudia knew well how to deal with that, and Maizie did, indeed, adjust to her surroundings rather quickly after a day or so. While we were gone, Claudia often sent us photos and updates so we'd know Maizie was doing well, and she even indicated on the day before our return that Maizie was looking forward to seeing us (which I certainly hoped would be the case, but didn't really know would be so true until I arrived to pick her up!) Bottom line is that I would heartily endorse Claudia and happily use her services again when we need to leave town for our next vacation.”
“Jill and her family are amazing! We have left our maltipoo, Benji with them a few times and they have cared for him so well. Benji just did and overnight and I he loved it. If you need pet care, do not hesitate for a second with Jill. She and her family are great and are our go to sitters!”
“Wow, Valerie was amazing. I knew my dogs and cat were in good care. She sent us photos throughout the ENTIRE stay and it made me feel so comfortable. My family was worried about leaving our pets with a 'stranger' but Valerie didnt feel like that to us. Her property was GORGEOUS! and had so much room for the puppies to run around and play. They were all tired out and we could tell by the photos she sent us of our dogs sleeping. My cat was also welcomed and had a nice time too. 11/10”
“Estelle took excellent care of Frannie for the weekend. She was part of the family and I felt reassured and comfortable she was well taken care of and they enjoyed having her there. It is so nice to be able to leave town and not have to worry about your pet. Thank you, Estelle and family!”
“Sue was great. Really patient and accommodating. My pup was returned to me happy and healthy. Her husband was also very nice and they both seemed very confident and comfortable with my pup who’s a 48lb pittie. Thank you Sue and Franky. We appreciated your care and attention to our fur baby. Sue also sent regular selfies of the pup and was quick to reply to messages.”
“Addie kept my dogs over Christmas. She was so amazing and understanding when my flight was delayed and ultimately canceled on our return home. I highly recommend her and I hope she is available to care for my babies again in the future!”
“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”
“My dog Blue stayed with Rachel for almost 10 days and I was honestly sad for him when he had to return to us. He seemed to be living his best life and I was so happy to see him happy via all the pics she would send daily. Will definitely be asking Rachel to watch blue again and again!”
“Bruce is so attentive and a loving caregiver for our dog. He sends regular updates so you are never wondering if your pet is doing ok. Our dog is very comfortable there.”
“Nicole is fantastic! We were nervous about boarding my dog at someone else’s house for the first time and she was reassuring, patient, and attentive to all of Jack’s needs. Great with medication administration and provided daily photos and updates on how Jack was doing. Certainly gave us peace of mind on our trip. We will definitely be using Nicole for our next trip and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Robin went above and beyond to help care for our two elderly cats while we were away for ten days. (One of them has incontinence issues so definitely a challenging situation). We would highly recommend her and hope she is willing to to cat sit for us again in the future. :0)”
“Priscilla was wonderful with our cat Mina. She was very knowledgable in caring for Mina who suffers from serious separation anxiety. I would highly recommend Priscilla and we look forward to user again.🐈⬛💕”
About: I have had cats my entire life and have also worked at a cat inclusive boarding kennel. I have cared for cats of every temperament and every stage of life so play time, feeding and medication distribution is nothing new to me!
About: I genuinely enjoy caring for cats of all ages from kittens to seniors. I have been a cat mom for almost 30 years now, learning from the diversity of cat experiences and personalities. I love their quirkiness and companionship. I would care for your cats as I care for my own, with kindness, respect, and common sense. I will read and follow instructions. I will not leave doors open. I will make sure they eat what they’re supposed to be eating and observe for any signs of distress. I will spend quality time with your kitties so they feel loved while you are away! I have a somewhat flexible schedule with remote work days. Weekends are flexible. In most cases, I would be able to make morning and evening cat care visits. I prefer to care for cats in their own home environment. However, we do have the option of several private, closed off areas in our home to host a cat traveler, if needed.
“Vera stepped in as a last-minute replacement, and I’m so grateful she did! She followed all of my detailed instructions and was very intuitive with my persnickety cat. She also sent very charming and kind updates. Highly recommend!”
“Overall, I would rate Lindsay as a good pet-sitter. Prior to our vacation, she was very timely in responding to my messages and she also modified the Rover.com charges to a very reasonable rate for her visits with our 2 cats. It was while we were gone that I felt she fell short. My first issue was with her inconsistency in providing updates on the visits - there was a photo and thorough recap on the 1st day, but on subsequent days there was less detail and on one day there was no update at all. My second issue was with the timing of her visits. I had made it very clear that it was important to check in during the early afternoon, but at least twice she didn't visit until the evening. My third issue was with attention to detail - I had left very specific notes about the cats' food/water/litter and it didn't seem that she had followed them. Lastly, my greatest concern was with the well-being of our female cat and her being bullied by the male cat in our absence. We came back to find that she had a facial injury and had urinated in a chair out of fear. All-in-all our pets were reasonably cared for, but I was definitely disappointed. Lindsay is a very nice girl and I'm sure she had the best intentions. I think the issues may have been due to lack of experience or perhaps I wasn't clear enough on stressing the importance of certain things. (To those reading this review, please note that I have very high expectations for the care of my pets and I think Lindsay is absolutely capable of meeting the needs of a less demanding client.)”
About: I’ve had my own cat for 5 years and truly consider him my baby, so I understand how special cats are. I’ve cared for cats most of my life and love them all. I’m patient and gentle, making sure every cat feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
“Jill was excellent for my cat sitting needs. She kept me informed each day about the food, water & litter box situation. Jill also spent time playing with my cat & even had to clean up a fur ball. I highly recommend Jill as a cat sitter.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets while they were away or needed time out. I also have experience in the medical side of things as well! I currently have goats and chickens that I take care of mornings and evenings on weekdays. I am available between 10am- 4pm on weekdays and all day on weekends! I have a small studio with just me in it! A huge yard and a lot of walking trails near by! I will also send pictures and videos to keep your mind at ease.
About: My name is Alicen. I have been around animals all of my life. I naturally love dogs. It's always been easy for them and I to get along and training is like second nature. Me and the dogs I care for have a great time in and out. I have access to several dog parks and walking trails for the best dog walking experience. I currently have three well behaved dogs in my household. I do well bringing them places I go, and if they can't come for the ride, then they have a comfortable place to be. I know what it takes to love a pup! I will make sure your furry family member has been well taken care of and follow all instructions given in regards to their care. I care for your doggies diet, I’m experienced with elder dogs and am able to accommodate dogs with disabilities. I also may provide pictures to help promote my dog walking business. Lots of fun, snuggles included! I have a nice, flexible schedule and alert to my phone. I recently have had a gap open up in my schedule and looking to fill that with productive walks and lots of attention for your pup. I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs to keep your companion company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. In my home I have certain rules to reinforce and your pets will be safely exposed to new things.
“Emily is sweet and loving. She clearly loves animals and our two pups love her. Emily is dependable and prompt and quickly responds. We are planning to have her back on regular schedule.”
“I’m glad we hired Maddie to take care of our cat Cannoli while we were away. She was punctual each day and spent plenty of time with her. My cat has only accepted 2 other people prior to this but she felt comfortable with Maddie and let her pet/interact with her too. Maddie is very polite, loves animals and responded to my texts in a timely manner. She kept an eye on the house while we were gone and took good care of my plants as well. I highly recommend Maddie to care for your pets!”
“She was awesome taking care of our cats! She’s very good at giving oral medication so I felt comfortable with her giving meds to our boy. Thank you so much!!”
About: There are multiple reasons why I would be the perfect person to take care of your pet! I worked at Guiding eyes for the Blind where I helped train and care for labs and German shepherds. I have worked at a dog kennel and a veterinary center where I provide top care to the client's pets. I aid dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, healthy to unwell, teacup to gigantic. I have also dog sat for multiple friends for days on end. I currently have a 14 year old lab mix that I have taken care of since I was a teenager. I also have a 2 year old lab pup with tons of energy. I prefer to hike my dogs in the woods and let them explore and chase the squirrels. We play fetch and tug of war. I could do the same with your dog! With this experience, I know that dogs need lots of care and love with some fun and snuggles! I am currently going to school to be an ultrasound technician and would love some extra work on the side. My schedule changes with each semester but the best type of study breaks are outside and playing with fur babies. I will follow your instructions closely on how to properly care for your pet. I will make sure that safety is the number one concern to make sure that everyone is well taken care of.

“Amber was great with Ollie while I had to do something during the day. Took photos and kept a good eye on Ollie while I was gone. She was flexible and communicative. Highly recommend and would use again if in the are”
About: I am a veterinary technician, I take care of dogs, and cats. I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, a guinea pig, fish and 2 pet pigs myself. I have been in the vet field for about 10 years I work part time currently, I work 2 days a week, so I will have plenty of time with your pets, they will get a lot of attention while staying with me I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I will take your pets out on leash. I have 3 dogs to keep your pets company while you’re away. I will crate in the event that I have to leave my house during the day. I will crate at night if the owner prefers that
About: I've owned and cared for 9 dogs throughout my life, ranging from tiny Maltese and other small breeds to large Saint Bernard's. Every dog I've had has been treated like family, and I bring that same level of love, patience, and care to every pet I look after. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, or cuddles, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I have a pup of my own, and we stay active with daily walks, outdoor time, and enrichment activities. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or regular walks, I can adjust my schedule to meet their needs and keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for. How I care for your pet depends entirely on how you'd like me to support them and what makes them most comfortable. In my home, pets are treated like family and receive lots of attention, exercise, and affection. While I do not have a fenced-in yard, all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs will be leash-walked unless they have a proven, reliable recall. I am also happy to follow your pet's existing routines, feeding schedules, training preferences, and any special care instructions in either my home or yours.
About: Hi :) My name is Shelby, and I’m a recent college graduate. I’m currently staying in Bethlehem for the next couple months, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you are in the greater Connecticut area. I have lived with dogs and animals my entire life, and properly cared for them for about 8. I’m a trusted dog sitter between my neighbors, friends, and family and am looking to expand my clientele! I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, and spent last summer working at a dog daycare in California. Dogs truly are my best friends 🐶 That being said, I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend :) I can administer medication, and care for both puppies as well as senior dogs! I have a pretty flexible routine right now, and am great at prioritizing as well as time management, so I’ll always find time for your pup(s)! I’m very flexible when it comes to my services, and I’ll cater to all of your pets needs. I’ve cared for both puppies, as well as dogs that needed constant assistance and various medications, and everything in between. I’m a lover of all dogs no matter their situation and will do my best to keep your pets happy and healthy in my care.
“Ziggy had a great time spending the day with Jaylese for doggy daycare! They went on a nice walk and Ziggy came back happy and sleepy. She accepted my request last minute and was a breeze to work with - highly reccomend!”
“Moby had a great time! Thank you so much for being so caring and loving! We really appreciate the flexibility as well! We hope to bring Moby back to play with the girls soon! ~ Yuki & Jeremy”
About: I have had dogs since I was born. I have taken care of them throughout their life, from puppy to senior. I have dog sat for many family friends and family throughout my life. I went to an ag high school and was enrolled in the vet tech program. I have handled many different animals, as well as many different ages and needs. This includes senior massages and bathing, administering medicine, feeding, exercising various animals from horses to rats. If you have any questions, please reach out. I am currently going to school full time online and have plenty of time for pups! The only day I am unavailable is Wednesday. Please message me if you need any services. I do not have a fenced in yard but I have various long lines. I am comfortable in crating and training dogs. I will treat your pets how I would treat my own, with the utmost respect and listen to them however they express themself.

Friends, family, and neighbors can rely on me to take care of their pets I am currently available any day and time during the week that works best for your busy schedule. I have plenty of time to play. I have a decent sized yard with two friendly dogs to help keep your pup company. I can crate and leash if needed for safety
“Addie and her family are great with our Batman. He’s very sweet and energetic and loves playing with her family and pups. He had the best time and we will be repeat clients for sure.”
“Liliana and her husband were great!! Turbo stayed with them while we worked 2 times. He is super anti social but the 2nd time he stayed with them he was wiggling his tale as soon as we dropped him off which is great news for my dog. They kept me up to date, were very flexible with my late pick up times & meet and greet reschedules. Thank you so much for taking care of our baby!”
About: I am a mom to three human children, six dogs, two cats, and three horses. When my kids were younger, my "me time" was spent volunteering for various rescues and shelters. I love taking care of animals and found so much satisfaction helping out those poor little creatures who had no home to call their own! I loved it so much that I decided to start my own 501c3 nonprofit animal rescue! I figured that in doing so, I could help on a way bigger scale! Additionally, I could put more efforts in to helping people through the love of animals in need! Making the adoption process easy and fun, and making sure the humans and the pets are a wonderful match have made my rescue quite successful! Over the past 11 years I have rescued thousands of dogs, hundreds of cats, and three horses from shelters and other high risk situations! Throughout my years of taking care of pets, I have care for basically every age, breed, size, and temperament! I have also provided care on just about every level...from administering meds, IV treatments, vaccines, basic grooming, and basic training/behavior modifications. I joined Rover because I want to continue helping animals and support pet owners who need someone they can truly trust. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for like family while you’re away. Being able to provide that peace of mind is something I take seriously. Every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care while maintaining the structure and comfort your pet is used to. I also prioritize clear communication so you always feel confident and informed while your pet is in my care. My schedule has a lot of flexibility, and I am a full-time caregiver for these sweet babies! I will always do my best to be available for you and your furry family members! Pets in my home have my full supervision, and when I am unable to have my eye on them, they are either crated or in their own safe space! Our yard is fully fenced!
About: I’ve always had pets growing up. Over the past 20 years I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, turtles, snakes, and hamsters. I love animals more than most humans. My sister is also a vet which is super handy to have. I currently work from home so I can be present and then I have down time I can play and tend to my furry house guest. I have a room for my dogs with a very bring crate, beds and toys. When I have furry guests I can always alternate my dogs in the room or the furry guest into that room. They could also wonder around the apartment as well. My building complex also has a dog park which is nice to run around and play.
About: As a former breeder of Labradors, I have a great deal of experience raising and training dogs. My daughter has her own Rover page and we often work together. Being retired I have no employment obligations which leaves me free to care for your pet weekdays when others are not available. As well as evenings and weekends. I currently have one 3 year old Labrador and take pride in ensuring she gets lots of exercise and attention. If I'm caring for your pet in my home I always encourage a meet and greet first to be certain my client and his / her pet are comfortable with my home environment.
“Rose and Michael took great care of our 10 month old cavapoo. They sent lots of pictures and updates during his 3 day stay. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Erika and Jason were extremely kind and took such great care of my puppy, Francesca. They sent updates and photos throughout the day, which I really appreciated. She had a wonderful time and came home happy and tired. I would definitely recommend them!”
“Excellent sitter! My 4 month old puppy had a blast and Isabel was super about sending multiple pictures throughout the day. Awesome environment and home for a doggy day care. Definitely recommend.”

“Michelle is the best! I really couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of my pupper. She is great at staying in communication too! She takes great pictures of my boy and I know he feels happy and safe with her! I feel very grateful to have her as my doggy walker!!!”
About: I have both professional and personal pet care experience as I have worked at a kennel in the past and have owned pets my entire life. I can confidently care for pets of all ages, training levels and health conditions and love doing so! I am currently working part time leaving my weekdays free! However my weekend availability is flexible and varies weekly so I will always be able to make time for your pet! I can happily care for your pet in any way they require wether that is on leash walks, supervise exercise off leash, crating or anything else necessary to ensure you and your pet are happy.

Available to help anytime especially in the VALLEY AREA ;) Have experience with large breed dogs. Especially love mastiffs. Bulldogs. And french bulldogs. Pitbulls and fast moving dogs I have 2 french bulldogs currently with a fenced yard. And access to seperate dogs. I love animals and can relate to them to ease their anxiety.
About: I have several years of paid and volunteer experience with all animals, including dogs, cats, fish, chickens, rabbits, horses, and goats. Growing up, I had two dogs, one small and one medium. I also used to volunteer at a therapeutic horse-riding center for people with disabilities, where I groomed horses and cleaned their barns. I currently have two guinea pigs who are contained in cages, but are very curious, playful, and friendly with other animals. I'm an incoming Master's student who is currently working part-time this summer. I have a highly flexible schedule and short commute times, which gives me more time to care for your pets! My pricing is extremely flexible and I am open to negotiating. I have spacious front and back yards where your pet can roam. I also have a doggy gate to block off the upstairs of my house if necessary, but our downstairs and upstairs are very dog-proof from years of caring for our previous pets. I live in a 3-bedroom home, providing ample room for your pet to explore and wander inside if they prefer the indoors. I also have dog bowls, leashes, toys, and food, ready for use.
“Robin sent us many pictures of our 2 fur children on their daily walks! This was our first time using Rover and Robin made us feel at ease our entire trip. Thank you again, we highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for a sitter/care taker.”
About: I previously co-founded a dog training business, managing client relationships and operations, but I have since stepped away from it. Prior to that, I worked for Coaching for Paws, a renowned dog training business in northern Connecticut. I have been working with dogs for around five years and have experience with training basic obedience, dog walking, dog sitting, and overall care. I currently have most weekdays free to dedicate to your pups’ needs, which allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company. Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate different care needs and maintain reliable routines for pets, helping them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have lots of experience with different dogs and understand the needs of dogs and owners. I am able to meet any needs or criteria.
“Emily is the best! She has been doing weekly walks with my husky and he loves it. She always gives me great reports on how the walk went and let’s me know if anything happened I need to know. This week she let me know he had a few instances of vomiting during the walk and turned out he had an obstruction that required emergency surgery. Without her due diligence I might not have caught it in time. Such a fantastic pet guru!”
About: I’ve spent several summers caring for both cats and dogs as well as having them in my house growing up! I absolutely love giving them the attention they deserve, whether that’s playtime, walks, or cuddle time. As a 20 year old college student, I bring lots of energy, patience, and genuine love for animals. I enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re part of my own family I currently am a college student with mostly early morning classes, so I am up pretty early. I also am a soccer coach for Wilmington hammer heads which is about 2 hours Monday, Wednesday, Thursday nights. Other than that I am extremely flexible and am never busy for long periods of time! Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, safety and comfort always come first. I make sure pets have a clean, secure space, follow their normal routines, and give them plenty of attention so they feel at ease. My goal is to create an environment where pets are happy, loved, and cared for just like they would be with their family.
“Priscilla is kind and bonded with my dog instantly. This is my first time using a service like this and I can't tell you what a relief it is to know my dog is loved by her as much as I do. Highly recommend.”
“Rachael did a great job with my dog Harry today! He came home happy & tired so that's a good thing. He ate his dinner quite heartily too, ha, ha! I'm looking forward to having her come back again hopefully on a regular basis for walks & see if we can get some weight off Harry as he is overweight for his size right at this stage in life. Thanks so much Rachael!”
About: Hi, my name is Marley, I am currently studying my undergraduate degree at Oregon State University. Since I was 10 years old, I have volunteered at local dog and cat shelters whenever I have a couple open hours within the day: CPR (Companion Pet Rescue, Southbury CT), Heartland Humane Society (Corvallis OR), and Safe Haven Humane Society (Tangent OR). I have been dog sitting and cat sitting for local families for over 5 years just to help out and absolutely love it. I am always responsible of a pet’s health and prioritize them always. I currently have a part-time job where I do not work longer 5 hours in a day, I am also taking classes come September 24, but will easily prioritize checking in on your animals and making the time to care for them! I think that one of the most important jobs as a pet sitter is making sure nothing is rushed, which is why I spend as much time as needed with the animals I watch. I think it is crucial to make sure the animals are happy and healthy both when I arrive and when I leave. I love to take dogs on long walks, play with them outside, and give them the care they need (from feeding to outside time). As for cats, I think they deserve the same amount of attention and I will never pass up the opportunity to give a cat some pets!
About: Hi there! I'm Michaela, an experienced pet sitter and dog walker in the western CT area. I've had many dogs and cats throughout my life (and several birds, too), and I love getting outside for walks/hikes just as much as I enjoy relaxing at home with a good book. I've recently pet sit for 7+ days to help friends and clients travel to new places, see family, and enjoy life without worrying about their pets. I work from home Tuesday - Friday over the summer and have great flexibility during the day. I'm happy to work from your home or simply stop by to feed, play with, and/or walk your pets! I plan to come to your home and play with, walk, and clean up after your pet. I am happy to take them for a walk of any length! I'm happy to come by in the morning or evening to beat the heat, or at lunchtime to give your pet a potty break and some exercise.
About: I have 2 dogs, a cat, and a turtle! They each have unique needs that I tend to in our daily lives. I am an animal lover at heart! Our pets are our family and they deserve the best care we can give them. I am here to help lend a helping hand in giving your pet the best care possible. Whether you are going away for the weekend, or need someone to check-in while you are at work. I am willing to work with all kinds of animals and breeds. I am here to help! I am currently searching for work, and have lots of time at the beginning, middle, and end of the day to help give your pets the attention they need! I’m able to house sit if you are traveling, as well as available for dog walks and check-ins as needed! My animals each have unique needs when it comes to the attention they need and their diet. I carve out time in the day to give the special attention to each animal, that they deserve. I have a special relationship with each of my animals and couldn’t imagine life without them!
About: With a lifelong passion for animals and decades of hands-on experience with personalized pet care, you can rest assured your pet is in great hands while you are away! I have been a show jumping horse trainer for most of my life, and caring for client’s pets while they were away just fell into place! From horses and dogs to a wide variety of different types of pets, I bring my knowledge, empathy, and commitment to every animal. After years of caring for many “regulars” in Santa Barbara, CA while their owners were away, I recently relocated to Roxbury, CT, where I offer high-quality, attentive care in a safe and serene environment. My property spans over three manicured acres, with more than one acre fully fenced and wired—complete with automatically closing gates—providing a secure, pet-friendly space for dogs to play, explore, and relax under supervision. Whether providing in-home pet care, or hosting animals on my property, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with love, patience, and respect. I look forward to meeting new pets and their owners here in CT! I don’t accept pets from different families at the same time, and when I take on caring for your pet, that is my full time job. My dogs tend to like to run errands with me, when weather permits, so your pet is welcome to join, or they are all also welcome to hang inside my home while I am out. I am never gone for longer than 2 hours at a time, and I am yet to leave my dogs outside in the yard when away with all the wildlife around… I adjust to whatever your pet is most used to when they are in their own home. Fenced in and wire lined 1+ acre grass manicured yard and over two acres of manicured grass outside the fenced yard for those pups once they bond with me and will reliably come when called. Your dog can sleep on my bed or in one of the plush dog beds I have around my home. Each door has an alarm system that sounds when the door is opened, and cameras surrounding the property... I always have eyes even when I am out running errands.
About: Hi! I’m Nicole, a 27-year-old animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m confident in providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m friendly, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time playing, walking, and bonding with animals. I look forward to meeting you and giving your pet the care and attention they deserve! I am normally available Wednesday and weekends, For more descriptions and availability check my profile information, can’t wait to meet your family! ! ! I am currently available on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays only, and I make sure to dedicate focused, quality time to each pet during those days. At the moment, I don’t offer care in my own home since I have multiple pets. However, I’m happy to provide care in your home or take your dog out for walks. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment while sticking to their usual routine.

“We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”
“We had such a great experience with Jennifer who care of our dog, Daisy, for almost a week. Jennifer was very communicative throughout the week - keeping us updated throughout our trip with thoughtful messages and plenty of photos showing Daisy relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoying her time with Jennifer and her family. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Daisy was in such caring and capable hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jennifer again—highly recommended!”
“James and family were wonderful with our dog, taking him in for a week while we went on a recent trip. His communication was thorough to assure us that things were going well, along with any questions about his care as needed. It was evident that our dog endeared himself to their family and had a great stay. We would definitely recommend James for any dog sitter needs and would rebook him as a dog sitter for future occasions”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our dog anywhere else other than our home. It was a little bit stressful, and we had a bit of anxiety, but Erika made us feel so at ease. We received multiple updates during the day. She sent many pictures and really made us feel comfortable knowing that Ginger was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and book again.”
“Elizabeth was amazing! We truly could not have asked for a better boarding experience. Our dog Luna is pretty nervous around new people, but Elizabeth and her family created a safe, comfortable environment that allowed Luna to come out of her shell. The regular updates and photos we received throughout our trip were much appreciated. I would recommend Elizabeth to any dog owner in a heartbeat 🐾”
“Robin is always so wonderful with our dog, Adelaide. She does regular drop in visits with her so when we need boarding services, Robin is always our first choice! She shows our dog so much care, attention and love.”
“Maizie's stay with Claudia represented one of the first times we've ever left her for an extended time, and it sounds like she experienced some initial separation anxiety. However, my sense is that Claudia knew well how to deal with that, and Maizie did, indeed, adjust to her surroundings rather quickly after a day or so. While we were gone, Claudia often sent us photos and updates so we'd know Maizie was doing well, and she even indicated on the day before our return that Maizie was looking forward to seeing us (which I certainly hoped would be the case, but didn't really know would be so true until I arrived to pick her up!) Bottom line is that I would heartily endorse Claudia and happily use her services again when we need to leave town for our next vacation.”
“Jill and her family are amazing! We have left our maltipoo, Benji with them a few times and they have cared for him so well. Benji just did and overnight and I he loved it. If you need pet care, do not hesitate for a second with Jill. She and her family are great and are our go to sitters!”
“Wow, Valerie was amazing. I knew my dogs and cat were in good care. She sent us photos throughout the ENTIRE stay and it made me feel so comfortable. My family was worried about leaving our pets with a 'stranger' but Valerie didnt feel like that to us. Her property was GORGEOUS! and had so much room for the puppies to run around and play. They were all tired out and we could tell by the photos she sent us of our dogs sleeping. My cat was also welcomed and had a nice time too. 11/10”
“Sue was great. Really patient and accommodating. My pup was returned to me happy and healthy. Her husband was also very nice and they both seemed very confident and comfortable with my pup who’s a 48lb pittie. Thank you Sue and Franky. We appreciated your care and attention to our fur baby. Sue also sent regular selfies of the pup and was quick to reply to messages.”
“Addie kept my dogs over Christmas. She was so amazing and understanding when my flight was delayed and ultimately canceled on our return home. I highly recommend her and I hope she is available to care for my babies again in the future!”
“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”
“My dog Blue stayed with Rachel for almost 10 days and I was honestly sad for him when he had to return to us. He seemed to be living his best life and I was so happy to see him happy via all the pics she would send daily. Will definitely be asking Rachel to watch blue again and again!”
“Bruce is so attentive and a loving caregiver for our dog. He sends regular updates so you are never wondering if your pet is doing ok. Our dog is very comfortable there.”
“Nicole is fantastic! We were nervous about boarding my dog at someone else’s house for the first time and she was reassuring, patient, and attentive to all of Jack’s needs. Great with medication administration and provided daily photos and updates on how Jack was doing. Certainly gave us peace of mind on our trip. We will definitely be using Nicole for our next trip and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Thank you for taking care of Hershey while I was on a trip out of the country. This was her first time boarding with someone privately, and I could tell her had a good time and was happy.”
“Rich took great care of our dog Luke for 10 days. He communicated with us daily and sent lots of pictures of him and his friends. Luke returned home very happy although I think he misses his new friends ?”
