Personalized care for your dog or cat - Branford
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Branford
“Britanny was amazing and helped me a lot last minute to get a pet sitter for my kitten. She usually doesn’t do kittens, but she was gracious enough to take Bowie in for the night. She sent me so many pictures of him having fun and sent me home with some goodies too :) I highly recommend her”
“Davon was amazing. I outreached very impromptu and he was available for a meet and greet with Arya. ( which went well. We reviewed the basics of her care and he made sure to get a full understanding of what is needed to make Aryas stay as comfortable as possible) drop off was nice. He has spacious living accommodations. What stood out is his willingness to work with Arya being that she is a Bully. There are a many false conceptions about this breed. With his family background working with bully’s and pitbull, and his love for animals in general, I had no concerns that Arya was in good care. During her overnight visit, he provided checks up and sent pictures for reassurance. He also introduced Arya to family and friends ( which I love ) being that she is not around other dogs or people, helping her socialize. Picking Arya up was easy. All items returned and she was happy ! I previously boarded her , and when picking her up she was distant, had scratches and limped !!! All in all, 5 stars for Devon. I recommend and will use him again. 🐾💕”
“Stephanie is such a thoughtful, attentive, and caring host to your pup. She clearly has years of dog sitting experience and goes above and beyond to get to know your doggos personality and how it blends into her schedule and home. Will certainly book again :)”
“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”
“Claudia and Juni (her pup) were SO awesome and went the extra mile during his stay to make Chase feel at home! From play time to hand feeding him when he didn’t want to eat to playing search games for mental stimulation. She also sent many videos and pictures which I very much appreciated!! I highly recommend her and Juni for your future dog sitting needs!!”
“Mari was fantastic! She kept updating me throughout the day about my puppy. She took him out on multiple walks and made sure his exercise needed were met consider my puppy was very high energy. I would definitely rebook.”
“Karina & Teresa were amazing sitters for my dog. They are kind, attentive, and clearly love what they do. They treated my dog very well and made sure he was comfortable . They also sent lots of photos and videos throughout the stay, which really gave me peace of mind! I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters.”
“After trying 4 dog sitters, we finally found Lauren and couldn’t be happier. She takes incredibly good care of pups, she’s reliable and flexible with scheduling. Even when we have last minute bookings, she’s been available every time. He’s the only sitter that our pup looks forward to seeing. And he comes back clean, with freshly cut nails. If you need a sitter you can rely on and trust to treat your baby well, call Lauren.”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“Ariel and her family were amazing with our pups! They got so much love and attention, I actually don’t think our dogs missed us at all. Ariel sent picture updates all the time which was huge for us since we left them for two weeks. Our dogs came back smelling amazing and happy! Thanks again Ariel, I think we found our pups home away from home!”
“We’ve boarded with Nadjeska and family several times now and they’ve always been nothing but wonderful with our high energy GSD. Always with updates and photos throughout to put our minds at ease. Definitely highly recommend to all!”
“Mikayla and Justin took great care of Scooby, especially when he was anxious about hearing fireworks - they comforted him and played some calming music for him. They also sent regular and detailed updates with many pictures!”

“Charlotte was so great with my cat!! She is extremely kind, consistent, and easy to communicate with. She takes the best pictures, even better than the ones I take! I really enjoyed seeing the funny close-ups she was able to get of my cat. And she always provided a helpful little update on how my cat was doing. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Courtney dove right in and took care of my two, somewhat complicated cats for almost two weeks. One needs daily meds and limited outside time to stay happy, and the other one is new to the family and is still getting used to everything. I got almost daily communication with pictures. It was great to have someone staying in the house as I was gone for so long, Courtney was very respectful of the house as well! I hope to hire her again in the future.”
“Kelli was exactly what we are looking for! She followed all of our instructions and made some helpful suggestions that improved the life of our cat without being imposing. She even brought some new litter when we ran out! And she was able to provide insulin injections with very minor instruction. I will continue to trust her with the life and well being of our cat.”
About: Dog and cat owner. As pet parents it is our responsibility that our pets live a happy and healthy life. I give that to every animal that comes into my life! Currently working a hybrid schedule in a full-time role, so I’m home pretty often throughout the week! On the days I do go into the office, my mom stops by to take my dog for a walk and can give any dogs staying with me a midday break too. I have a super friendly 3-year-old Golden Retriever who loves other dogs and is always happy to have a friend around! When I’m working from home, I’m here throughout the day and have plenty of time between meetings and projects for walks, playtime, attention, and lots of company. When boarding, I’m home outside of my office hours, and your dog will get lots of playtime, walks, attention, and plenty of time to just hang out and feel at home! My pets are my priority. I always make sure things are put away and out of grasp for my dog. Food is never left out, especially foods that may be harmful to pets. I limit those off of my shopping list as much as possible. When we have other dogs over, they are offered fresh water, treats if allowed and all the toys they could desire. If a dog is not allowed certain toys due to being a shredder or if the toy poses a choking hazard, those toys go in the closet. I’m very careful and attentive, while having fun with all dogs!
About: Lifelong pet lover and experienced caretaker 🐾 As a lifelong multi-dog and cat owner, I have years of hands-on experience caring for and training dogs of different personalities. I’ll treat your pets like family—providing safe walks, patient care, playtime, and plenty of love!
“Tyler is fantastic! Super caretaking for my cat over a whole week of meals, medications - lots of attention to detail. A very caring, attentive presence that my normally shy cat really responded to.”
“Kacie has been the most amazing sitter for our Roo. We haven’t left Roo this long and she provided us with so much communication for our kitty. We will definitely book Kacie again. She’s amazing!!!!!!”
“Layla is amazing! Our pup loves her and she has been very prompt and reliable for walks. She also happens to be very knowledgeable about animals and has a great deal of experience. She’s walking our dog and also helping with training which has been amazing. I highly recommend her services!”
“I had a great experience with Anna! She took great care for my two kitties and showed them lots of love. I really appreciate that she was able take care of them despite my last minute request.”
“For our last day of booking with Emily, all I can say is that she went absolutely above and beyond. We pieced together a sort of planes trains and automobiles situation to get back to Seattle during the snowstorm and Emily graciously agreed to drop Omalie off at our home before we arrived so that we didn’t need to figure that out when we got back. Well, she ended up dropping off while it was still snowing, she braved the awful Magnolia hills, dug through the snow to find our key and got Omalie safely home. We had no idea how bad the roads truly were until we got back. I am just so so so very thankful for how much Emily helped us out. I don’t know what we would have done. She was so amazing and our kitty was completely happy and content when we arrived as if nothing happened. She is usually so needy and stressed when we return from a trip but that was not the case at all. We will definitely book again next time.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 8 and haven’t met a dog I didn’t love. I spent the past 5 years living in NYC where I started dog walking and sitting part time before moving back to CT. I can handle all dogs of all ages and sizes. Accepting evening and weekend walks only. Same day / last minute bookings will be accepted depending on my availability. Fully booked for mid-day weekday walks. Kind and careful to all requests. Can take control in many different situations. Energetic and active where needed. Calming presence when it’s time to wind down.
“Emma was so lovely to work with! She came and met the dogs ahead of time, which was great. She kept me up-to-date with her drop in visits, including pictures! The dogs really liked her & I will definitely use her again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Branford
“Liza was wonderful. We need a last minute booking for a holiday and she accommodated us very easily. Our Goldendoodle, Biscuit, was very well cared for. He doesn’t always do well away from us and can have some separation anxiety. He was at ease and enjoyed himself. We will definitely rebook with her.”

About: I have cared for dogs for many years and currently have three dogs of my own. I am experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and supervising dogs of different ages and personalities. My home has a separate room available for dogs who need their own space to relax. I am patient, responsible, and treat every pet like part of the family. Safety, comfort, and plenty of attention are my top priorities. I am a college student but I am available when my semester ends and can provide regular potty breaks, feeding, walks, playtime, and supervision. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I will communicate with owners and provide updates during their pet’s stay. I have over 11 years of experience caring for dogs and currently have three dogs of my own. One of my dogs is a calm senior Shih Tzu. I supervise all interactions between dogs and have a separate room available for pets who need their own quiet space. Fresh water, feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and safety are always my top priorities. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
“This was my first time using Rover.com. I had picked up my German shepherd, Evie, from a shelter in North Carolina last November. Based on her recorded condition when brought in as a stray 5 weeks before she had been through a rough period. She has fully recovered now and is in good health. My wife and I wanted to find someone to board her with where she would be happy when we're away. We identified a few possibilities at the Rover website and following a positive meet and greet with Nadjeska last week, had Evie spend the day with her yesterday. It went very well. Nadjeska sent us several texts with photos during the day updating us on Evie's stay. We were looking for a home where Evie could spend time with and play with other dogs and Evie made a new friend, Sparkles, Najeska's little dog. Nadjeska has a fenced yard which provides a safe place for them to run around in the fresh air. Evie seemed to enjoy the day, Nadjeska obviously loves dogs, and we will be repeat clients in the near future.”
“Mari was phenomenal taking care of our puppy, Honeycomb. Throughout the day, Mari provided extensive photos and update, putting us at ease the entire time knowing that our Honeycomb was taken care of. Mari treated our puppy as if she was family, and it really showed in the photos and her overall attitude once we picked her up. Such an amazing sitter, will rebook again!”
“Stephanie took great care of my beagle for three days while I had to travel out of state. He came home to me exhausted and happy after full days of playing and walks. Thanks Stephanie!”
“Andrea was just wonderful. It was my first time leaving them with a sitter. I knew I could trust her with my babies right off the bat. She’s sweet and caring and communicated with me the whole time because I was anxious being away from them. It’s easy to see that she is a dog person to the core. Highly recommend!”
“Max seemed to have a great first day of daycare at Mariana's. He came come happy and tired. Mariana sent lots of pictures and communicated promptly throughout the entire booking process. Will definitely book again!”
“Zuleima accepted our request last minute and was very flexible and communicative, also through pictures! Virgola seemed very happy of her time there and loved playing with her kids—she didn’t want to leave. I’ll definitely consider booking again. Thanks!”
About: I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years. All my dogs have been rescues, several have been shy dogs that needed extra TLC. I have a special talent connecting with shy dogs and helping them come out of their shell. I also love working with extroverted dogs who love to play and interact. I have a full-time mostly WFH job. I'm available for after-hour drop ins and walks, weekend visits, overnights, and boarding. I know how hard it can be to find petcare (especially during off hours) and I'd like to help with that. My home is safe and secure with a small fenced in backyard away from the road. I have two dogs to keep your pets company. I can help with crating your dog as well. Our home is quiet, serene, and private.
“Jordin was absolutely amazing with Ivy! She was so sweet, caring, and attentive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Ivy was in her care. She kept me updated and made sure Ivy was happy and comfortable throughout her stay. It was clear that Jordin genuinely cared about Ivy and treated her like her own. I would definitely book with Jordin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“Brianna was fantastic! Accommodated a very last minute request, was super sweet with our pups (especially our skittish one), and when we picked them up, they were obviously well taken care of and loved on! We will definitely used her again!”
“We took Frances to daycare as a first step before considering boarding. From the very beginning, Raeven was very kind and welcoming. It was our first time using this service, and it couldn’t have gone better. Now we feel at ease knowing that our pup will stay in a place we trust.”
“Absolutely amazing. First time using Rover with my new rescue, and Amanda was incredible. From the time I dropped him off, he settled right in, she kept in constant communication, was incredibly patient as he settled in. She is a loving caregiver, and I would absolutely book her again without looking anywhere else.”

“Sandra was fantastic!! She was friendly, professional and great with our dog Maple. We had a last minute need and she came in clutch and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Jeanne is wonderful. Checks all the obvious boxes – reliable, trustworthy, punctual, etc. But most importantly,IMO, incredibly patient and kind. I don’t need Jeanne’s services terribly often, so there are usually big blocks of time in between her visits with Sadie. She’s always so patient in allowing Sadie to take her time and get reacquainted. Equally sensitive to her comfort as to getting the walk done and the business taken care of. I’m grateful to have found her.”
“Dominique was an amazing dog walker! She was communicative, always answering questions promptly and showing up on time. Chester, our poodle loved her and the walks she provided. I highly recommend Dominique!”
“Heather is wonderful! Maizie cozied up to her immediately, and it's super-clear she and Heather have a tight bond even after just a couple of walks (and belly rubs..). And I get to come home at the end of the day to a very happy and calm pup.”
About: Ive had years of experience between puppies to senior dogs. All deserve the same love. I've had a litter of 8 puppies 11 years ago and it taught me more than any book could. I still have one from that litter to this day. All dogs are different and need to be catered to independently. They all have their own love language. I work part time and its flexible, so I'm looking to fill the gaps with zoomies, pets, treats and love from dogs and other animals. In home, I have a large fenced yard, but prefer a walk so we both get exercise. Clients homes depend on what they have available.

“Layla is amazing! Our pup loves her and she has been very prompt and reliable for walks. She also happens to be very knowledgeable about animals and has a great deal of experience. She’s walking our dog and also helping with training which has been amazing. I highly recommend her services!”
About: I had a dog since I was in 2nd grade, for around 15 years. I have experience in young puppy care and senior dog care. Just getting into the Rover business, but eager of learn and would love to help! So I’m currently a 3rd Resident Physician at the hospital, so I do have more time on weekends to do sit ins and walks. I miss having a dog and taking care of one so this is my way to give back! I also can do late night sit ins or walks after my shift which usually ends at 630pm. I have an apartment with a doggy park and a pet cleaning and bathing area. The doggy park is fenced with toys and water. I’m great at following instructions and will take great caution and care in others home.
“Kaleem gave our doods an amazing walk that tired them out! He was so good with my labradoodle who is a bit jumpy. He helped him calm down and helped my dood get focused and listen to commands. Kaleem is very knowledgeable about all the things and I feel comfortable to leave my doods in his care. Looking forward to future walks with Kaleem!”
“Emily was amazing with our 3 dogs. Fit walks into her busy schedule for us at the last minute for a week. She is calm and patient which helped our one somewhat reactive dog to stay calm. The dogs loved her immediately. Hoping to use her again soon if she's not booked up!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s administering medication, sticking to a specific routine, or just providing tons of cuddles and playtime. I’m also active, so energetic pups will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time! I work from home, which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, playtime, or just keeping them company while I work, I love having pets around—it makes my day better! My flexible schedule allows me to stick closely to their routine and be fully present for walks, feeding, and any special needs they might have. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy it. At my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play! I have a yard for fresh air and outdoor time, and I’m lucky to live near two parks—perfect for walks, exercise, and a little adventure. I keep a clean, calm environment and tailor the care to each pet’s needs, whether that’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or providing lots of love and attention. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they’re with me.
