Personalized care for your dog or cat - Bridgewater
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bridgewater
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 ?”
“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”
“Michele was awesome. She’s super friendly and made me feel very comfortable about caring for Hershey. When she was watching him she sent me pictures periodically to let me know that all was well. We will definitely reach out to Michele in the future!!”
“Isabel is fantastic! She took care of our injured pup for 4 nights. I felt so comfortable that she was taking care of our girl while we were away. She got all kinds of love including stories read to her by her child. I highly recommend Isabel!”
“We were extremely happy with our experience! Ryan was knowledgeable and attentive to our dog. We received many updates and pictures while we were away which we really appreciated. He was even willing to bathe him after a run in with a mud puddle. 😅 We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
“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.”
“My family and I loved Annette! We wanted to go on a short getaway but we didn’t want to leave Our Cockapoo Miles in a kennel or in the hands of someone careless. We were so lucky to find Annette... what a sweet soul!! She treated Miles with love and care, send pictures and videos daily, spoiled him, took him out on walks and even offer to have him sleep in bed with her every night❤️ Every time we go on vacation and came back to pick Miles up from other places he was nervous, he used to run to the car in a hurry to leave... this time Annette came out holding Miles and he was in no rush to go anywhere... she even had a present for him to take home inside a really cute bag! We are extremely thankful and happy with Annette and there’s no reason for us to take Miles anywhere else when we go away. Thank you Rover and thank you Annette for truly caring for our fur baby. ❤️❤️”
“This is our dog’s 3rd visit with Dew and she is wonderful! So attentive to her quirks and so patient with her plus we get fun photos the whole time! We will be back for sure! Thanks so much Dew for taking such loving care of our girl! 💕”
“I've used Veronica at least a couple times at this point and she has been nothing less thank fantastic. She has been fantastic at communication, great at scheduling room, and took amazing care of my Mika! Definitely bwill contact her again and I would encourage anyone to do the same.”
“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.”
“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 🐾”
“Kyle and Radha took great care of my rescue pup, Fiona while I was away for two nights! I was a little nervous to leave her for the first time since adopting her, but she came back tired and happy, which tells me that she had a great time! She really wasn’t even excited to see me when I picked her up lol ?, but that’s ok with me because it means she enjoyed herself. I loved knowing that Fiona had a great, safe fenced yard to romp around in and other dogs to play with while I was away. I would definitely book with Kyle again!”
“I am so happy to have found Clementina. She is lovely and warm and took such very good care of Ezzy. She has a huge backyard and a dogpark nearby and Ezzy got great exercise daily. She sent me lots of pics and was flexible and accommodating when I asked if Ezzy could stay a little longer than I had planned. Her daughter also was there and Ezzy kissed everyone goodbye when we left and wagged furiously. 5 stars.”

“Meghan did an amazing job checking in on our cat while we were away! She was professional, kept our house clean, and most importantly, our cat was happy and comfortable. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pet was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: When I was growing up I had two cats: Stanley (a black tuxedo boy) and Celeste (a calico longhair girl). Since then I’ve become a cat grandmother🙂 Now my daughter and her husband Mike's american shorthair yellow cats (HB and Kenny) are really part lof my family too. In fact they live at my house whenever their parents travel and they are visiting me now!
About: I grew up with a cat and have cared for many cats of friends and family over the years. Recently I've dropped in on and stayed overnight with friends' cats to enable them to travel the world while I get to enjoy cat cuddles! My own cat passed away last year, after living a wonderful, long life (I adopted him when he was already at least 15 and administered medicines and IVs to him at the end).
“Sam was absolutely wonderful while watching my cat, Leo. She came by both in the morning and at night to feed him, play with him, and clean his litter box. She even helped me with a small favor around the house, which I really appreciated. She was great—reliable, caring, and attentive. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sit”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and amphibians, so I’m comfortable with animals of all kinds. I’ve also been volunteering at an animal shelter for 1 year, so I know how to read animal behavior and handle the unexpected. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I work full time Monday through Friday, so my availability is after 5pm on weekdays and Saturday mornings and afternoons for walks and drop-in pet care. I follow your pet's routine to a T and send regular photo and video updates so you're never out of the loop. If I notice any changes in behavior I'll let you know right away. I'll leave your home exactly as I found it, follow any house rules you set, and always make sure gates and doors are secured so no one makes a sneaky escape.
“Isabelle is a special caregiver. We hired her. To help care for our 2 German Shepherds, one of which is recovering from brain surgery to remove a tumor. With that, her and her partner have provided amazing care and shown love , compassion and patience to our guy. I highly recommend her if you need someone to provide that extra level of support.”
About: Our family has had cats for years, and we have fostered many, many more. I have a deep love and understanding of cats, and know that they are commonly mislabeled as mean or aggressive. I understand cat behaviors and would not be intimidated by some hissing or growling - as long as they don't attack on sight, we'll be good!
About: I have personal experience in owning both male and female cats, who were both indoor and outdoor cats. I’ve also cared for pregnant female cats. I understand their body language and behavior very well, and know when they need their space. I raised my current cat, Olive from 6 weeks old and have experience in bottle feeding kittens.
“Haley was great with my 6 month old Cooper! She was able to come late at night to let him out since I work night shift. She sent me pictures of Cooper and I know he was in great hands. I will definitely be using Haley again for my puppy needs!”
“Anne was super easy to work with and did a great job checking in my cats while I was away! She sent pictures and even managed to coax out my anxious cat which I really did not expect at all. She did some playing with my friendlier girl and made sure all their needs were taken care of. I really appreciate having her stop in and I know that the next time I need a sitter I'll book Anne again! Thank you!”
“Emily was fantastic! She took great care of my cat when I had to take a trip on short notice. She was responsive, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. I will definitely use her again! Thank you Emily!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bridgewater
“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.”
About: 4 years of experience working at a veterinarian office and lifetime pet owner with no current pets. Let me care for your pet like I cared for mine. Work from home, single adult with no children or pets(yet🤣) able to walk local with lots of parks and trails if longer walks are desired. Two level condominium so stairs are required unless smaller and I can pick up to go out, able to give medications, baths, nails and lots and lots of love.
About: Our family loves our pets, and I'll love yours too while you are away. My husband and I adopted our first black Lab in 2001, when she was eight years old. She was our first baby. Since that time, in addition to raising our human family, we have added many furry, finned, and feathered members to our home. While my ten-year-old Havanese is my "Best Boy;" I am "House Mom" to the other pets in our family. I love the time in the day I spend with my pets and look forward to spreading that love to other animals as I have more free time now that my kids are growing up. Having my own pets, I know it is hard to leave town. It's essential to find someone who is responsible, thoughtful, honest, and gentle to watch over them. I look forward to meeting with you and your pets to help alleviate your concerns. I am a stay-at-home parent, to older children, so my schedule is very flexible. I look forward to working with you to create a schedule that supports everyone! I believe in the Golden Rule. I will care for your pet(s) just as I would expect someone to care for mine. Before scheduling our first pet sitting appointment, I would like to meet with you and your pet in order to understand your pets' schedules and needs. If I am visiting your pets at your home, is there anything small I can help you with? Maybe you want your trash bins brought in, or your mail picked up?
“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.”
“So glad we found Rich to watch our dog. He was super attentive to her (She is 15 and blind). Highly recommend him to anyone needing pet care. Will definitely be using him again”
About: Hi! My name is Haley and I am 26 years old. I grew up in New Milford, CT and moved to NC for school. I just recently moved back to New Milford after completing my Master’s at UNCW. North Carolina was where I joined Rover and fell in love with the opportunity to help the local area with pet care! I love all animals! I have an 8 year old boxer mix named Koby and a 5 year old golden retriever named Miloh. We spend our days at the beach, park, eating treats, playing tug of war, speaking the doggy language, and cuddling of course! I have grown up around pets my entire life and could not imagine a life without them. I will follow your daily routine the closest I can and apply the discipline you enforce with your dog on a daily basis. I will make sure the experience your dog has is fun, targeted to their specific needs, and give your dog the love and affection you would to make them as comfortable as possible. My goal is to make your dog feel loved and make sure they are happy the entire time they spend with me. I love all dogs, big or small, and enjoy creating relationships with them. I would love to meet your furry best friend and if they are good with other dogs, I would love to bring my little fur babies around for some good fun and exercise. Whatever you need I am there and willing to work around not only the needs of your pet but you as well! I currently am working full time at my home. I have a flexible work schedule and would be able to step out multiple times a day to take care of your pet! I will follow whatever routine you feel is best for your pet / pets while you are away! I have been doing this a long time and have seen it all when it comes to the preferences people have on the care of their pets. No request is too much when it comes to our pets! I currently work from home and have plenty of free time on my hands. I am very flexible and open to helping however I can! I have grown up around pets and have had both of my dogs since they were puppies. They have been up and down the east coast with me during every trip home, move, etc. They are my best friends. Your best friend will be treated exactly how I would want someone to treat mine if I was away!
About: I’ve cared for both small and large dogs, including two small dogs and a German Shepherd. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, routines, and providing calm, reliable care. Available for drop-ins, dog walks. House sitting/ and overnight available Friday's and Saturday's. Hours flexible except 5:00–10:00am on weekdays only. Please contact me for booking. Responsible and attentive, I ensure a safe and secure environment for your pets. I follow your routine, handle pets gently, and maintain a clean and comfortable space.
About: I've been working at an animal hospital for 20+ years and have been managing the grooming and boarding facility there for 15+ years. I have worked with cats and all ages, temperaments, and breeds of dogs. Besides the professional experience, I have always loved animals, lived with family dogs and cats my entire life, and am well suited for caring for your pets, too! My husband has been a dog dad for 15+ years (and a bird dad as well) and has over a decade of professional experience with dogs in the boarding and grooming section of an animal hospital. Between the two of us, at least one of us is home every day - we would love to provide a home away from home for your pet! Our goal is to provide the most compassionate, safe, and responsible care for your pet. Our house is set back from the road on 100+ acres of conservation land where we can hike and explore with your dog. Our house is roomy and comfortable, and we strive to provide whatever your dog needs. We also value enrichment for pets - we hope your dog will learn, grow, and be stimulated while with us. We also live right next door to my father, who is a veterinarian and available for any questions we might have. We have a new addition to our family and welcomed in a baby boy in June 2025. Since then, we are accepting new clients with smaller dogs and sometimes larger dogs if they are older or laid back. We do have a soft spot for our older guests and love to keep them comfortable and pampered. We live in a one story house, so there are minimal steps. We try to mimic your own schedule at home. And one of us is home every day so we're able to provide the best care possible. We have a small fenced in area outside our front door, mostly for safety in coming in and out of the house. Outside of that area, I leash walk your dogs (until we have a larger fenced in area). We have gates inside to give dogs their own space if/when they want it. If you pet is more comfortable in a crate during bedtimes or short times alone, we can provide that as well. We are diligent regarding medication, feeding instructions, and medical concerns. We also will keep you up to date on how the stay is going and welcome you to reach out anytime.
“Highly recommend! My baby was well taken care of! Tinaclem was super friendly. When we arrived she introduced her dog with mine and brought them both to the back yard so she can get familiar with the yard and was very welcoming! Many walks and lots of pics for updates! ❤️My baby was pooped for days! She already misses Elvis! Sweet dog she has!”
“Valerie was very warm and welcoming when I brought my dogs over to meet her. This was our first time using Rover.com and leaving our 2 dogs (9 yr female & 5 month male) with a sitter. I was concerned about my female, she is a rescue with some separation anxiety. Valerie was very understanding and felt staying in a home environment instead of a kennel would make a big difference. When picking up, both dogs were very comfortable and at ease in Valerie's home. We will definitely be back.”

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!
“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'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.
“Nicole is not only knowledgeable but you can feel how she loves taking care of animals! I appreciate so much the care she has provided and will using her again! Thank you 🙏🏻”
About: I've had pets since I was a kid. Most recent we've had our current dog for a little over 2 years since he was 8 weeks old. Our kids love dogs and would love a second but we just don't have room full time for another dog so pet sitting is another great way to have an extra pet for a short period. I currently work part-time so I'm home throughout the day so pets are not alone for long. Just for trips to the store or dr. appts. I have a home with an unfenced yard. we do have a runner for our dog when he likes to be outside. We have a quiet street so can do easy walks when needed. We do prefer dogs that are not too hyper as we do have kids. Our dog is crate trained when needed but has free roam in our home so he can come up and get cuddles while watching TV or chill out on his bed. If dogs are not house trained we would prefer a crate. If they are small enough we do have our crate that our dog does not use on a consistent basis. Our dog is super exitable and crazy at first but is loveable and friendly to other dogs and cats.

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’ve taken care of dogs ever since we had a dog in elementary school. We adopted her from Arkansas and I love raising her for 17 years and taking her on walks to the dog park. My friends and family who had dogs always asked me to watch their animals when they were away or needed me to take their dog out for a walk. I am currently a stay at home mom with a lovely 3 month old baby girl. I can help your dog at any time during the day that works for you. I have a dog park at my community at Brookfield Village Apartments. We also have a walking path called Still River Greenway where people walk their dogs.
“Emily is amazing with my dog, Luna. She is always flexible when it comes to scheduling walks and makes sure Luna has everything she needs. Emily is incredibly caring and loving toward her. Luna gets so excited every time Emily arrives to pick her up for a walk. I really appreciate how thoughtful and reliable she is. I wouldn’t choose anyone else to walk Luna!”
About: I am a semi retired veterinary assistant with nearly 20 years professional experience and a passion for caring for animals. As a life long pet owner myself, I know how hard and stressful it can be to leave your pets at home. I appreciate and respect the trust that every owner puts in me when they contact me to care for their animal. I can give medications if needed, including injections. Also have worked in shelters and volunteer at rescues. I have taken care of senior dogs and cats. Feeding, walking, playing or if they have any special needs is not a problem. I have a flexible schedule and open to working with you to arrange drop in visits. Mid morning through later afternoons are open for me. If you need another time, just let me know. I'm happy to do whatever your pets need, whether they want to play, walk or just hang out. If they are a little shy and need time to get used to me is totally understandable, I will follow their cues. I will take my time to learn what they need and adapt to them. The goal is always to keep them as stress free as possible.
About: Hello! My name is Nita, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who would be delighted to care for your pets as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve had experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, guinea pigs, and even mice. Our beloved Border Collie, Jasmine, was part of our family for 12 wonderful years, and she gave us countless happy memories. I also regularly cared for my grand dog a sweet Lab mix, Benny. I currently share my home with our spirited lovebird, Gourdon Loveblossom, who is 3½ years old. We even had a goldfish named Goldie who recently passed away amazingly at 23 years old! I’m also a proud “grand-cat” sitter for HB and Kenny in Monroe. They especially enjoy being pushed around the neighborhood in their stroller on beautiful days. I walk a minimum of 10,000 steps every day and would truly enjoy having furry companions join me for walks and outdoor time. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, feeding, stroller walks, playtime, or simply gentle loving care while you’re away, I would be happy to help. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and comfort needs, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pets! I have a part time voiceover and photo businesses that I run from my home in Roxbury. I frequently care for my children's pets. I am reliable and punctual, I prefer to live in the same area nearby to my clients. I like to keep my pet care visits in a 10-ish mile radius of my home. This enables me to get to them fast without worrying about traffic, distance or delays.
About: I'm currently volunteering at Whiskers Cat Rescue cleaning cages and socializing cats. I am comfortable administering medications to cats. I have owned a small dog in the past. My current cats are a wobbly boy with Cerebellar Hypoplasia and a super senior (21yrs!) old lady cat. My schedule is really flexible right now. I'm not free a few times through the week and weekend but for no longer than a few hours. I'm very patient with animals, especially more skittish ones. You need to work with them even if it takes time to develop a relationship or trust.
About: Rescue dogs capture my heart! Experienced walking senior, rescue and fearful dogs. Happy to check in on your furry family with a cute photo to give you peace of mind while you are away. New to the area and have a flexible day time schedule M-F to visit and walk your pets! Happy to give medicine with instructions as needed.

About: I’m reliable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve been around and caring for dogs for most of my life, including my own dog Max, who I got when I was 14 and truly consider my soul dog. He passed away in July 2025 from complications related to megaesophagus, but for a year and a half before that, I helped manage his condition after we were initially told he only had 30 days to live. That experience taught me so much about patience, consistency, and providing attentive, specialized care. Because of these experiences, I’m especially comfortable with dogs who may need extra patience, have medical needs, or experience anxiety. I work full-time during the week, but I’m always available for morning and evening visits, including feeding, walks, playtime, and general care. I’m off every other weekend, as well as some Mondays and Fridays, which gives me extra flexibility for longer visits or overnight stays. I’m also happy to accommodate overnight care when needed, so your pet can stick to their normal routine and feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and will make sure your pet gets consistent care and attention. In a client’s home, I aim to keep things as consistent as possible—following feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or picking up after pets, and making sure they get plenty of attention and care. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy while you’re away. For overnight stays, I help maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable in their environment.
About: I’ve taken care of all different types of breeds across different ages for over 10 years. I’ve helped families with walking, feeding, playing and bathing dogs. I have a full time job working from 9am-5pm during the weekdays. I can help walking dogs in the weekends and after 5pm during the weekdays. I can easily crate dogs, take for long walks and spend quality time. Would prefer to take care for dog in their residence instead of mine.
About: Growing up, I had a Lab and then a Boxer and two cats. I've also helped my aunt at the doggie daycare she runs out of her home where she often has more than 10 dogs at a time. Everything from a Great Pyrenees to German Shepherds to Doodles to Yorkies. And it's always so much fun! The care I'll give your pets will really depend on them and their needs. There's a very large unfenced grass area behind my apartment building that would be perfect for walks or play. And there are multiple parks in the area too we could explore. At yours, I'd keep whatever their normal routine is. Whether that's taking walks, throwing the ball or just sitting and chilling and scratching butts. Their butts of course!

“Our babies already love Haley after one visit. She was so great. She split the time between a walk and some yard play which is great for the energy our younger one has. Can't recommend enough!”
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.

“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 ?”
“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”
“Michele was awesome. She’s super friendly and made me feel very comfortable about caring for Hershey. When she was watching him she sent me pictures periodically to let me know that all was well. We will definitely reach out to Michele in the future!!”
“We were extremely happy with our experience! Ryan was knowledgeable and attentive to our dog. We received many updates and pictures while we were away which we really appreciated. He was even willing to bathe him after a run in with a mud puddle. 😅 We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
“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.”
“This is our dog’s 3rd visit with Dew and she is wonderful! So attentive to her quirks and so patient with her plus we get fun photos the whole time! We will be back for sure! Thanks so much Dew for taking such loving care of our girl! 💕”
“I've used Veronica at least a couple times at this point and she has been nothing less thank fantastic. She has been fantastic at communication, great at scheduling room, and took amazing care of my Mika! Definitely bwill contact her again and I would encourage anyone to do the same.”
“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 🐾”
“Kyle and Radha took great care of my rescue pup, Fiona while I was away for two nights! I was a little nervous to leave her for the first time since adopting her, but she came back tired and happy, which tells me that she had a great time! She really wasn’t even excited to see me when I picked her up lol ?, but that’s ok with me because it means she enjoyed herself. I loved knowing that Fiona had a great, safe fenced yard to romp around in and other dogs to play with while I was away. I would definitely book with Kyle again!”
“Jonattan was very responsive and kept me updated about the well-being of my dog. Jonattan’s house setting and his friendly and playful dog were a great fit for my dog as well.”
“We have booked with Madison several times for our pups. Madison has been amazing with Holly and Murray every time they have stayed with her. She’s super reliable and really loves our pups, so we always know they're in good hands. Highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“First thing- Meghan was great! Finn states with her fior 4 nights and I couldn’t have asked for more out of a sitter. She communicated well with us during his stay and is overall a very kind, responsible sitter. I will (and I’m sure Finn) be looking forward to booking with her in the future!”
