We highly recommend Dani.”

I really appreciated the regular photos and updates—it gave me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would happily use her services again and highly recommend her.”

“Carolina and her family opened their home to Godfrey for 5 nights. This was Godfrey's first time being away from me and he was in the best of hands. Carolina stuck to his routine and gave me plenty of updates. Godfrey is a very special dog and his personality was able to shine through with Carolina! I am so happy with the experience and would recommend her to anyone!!”


“I believe my dog had a good time thank you so much again. He is an amazing sitter and your dog will be in great care. Just don’t book him when I need him 😂. Honest guy and loves what he does.”

“Enzo had a great time! Christle is very quick at replying back whenever I wanted updates and had questions. Sent videos and pictures throughout his stay with her! I was very pleased and comfortable leaving my 5month old puppy in her hands!”

“We are so lucky to have found Stephen! He’s wonderful with our pup - and with us as well! We always check his availability first when we need someone to care for our girl. Highly recommend!”

“Jessica took excellent care of our furry boy. She provided daily updates. We are grateful that we found her on Rover. Although we live nowhere close, if we find ourselves in her neck of the woods again and need a doggy sitter, we know who to get in touch with.”


“Our pup had a fantastic stay with Alan & Luis. She was well-taken care of and we got so many wonderful photos of her playing hard with her new friends. We are really happy to have found them and will be booking her with them for future trips. I highly recommend having your pup stay with them!!!”


“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”


“Klaudia was awesome! Our elderly dog had a health crisis while she was caring for him, and she took him to the vet, was very good with communication, and really cared about our guy for 2 days while we made our way home early from vacation. Highest recommendation!!”

“We can't tell you how very grateful we are to have found Kristin on Rover. This was so much more than simply a safe and healthy boarding experience! She (and Mark!) engaged our Blake in daily life like he was their own. The frequent notes and photos let us know he was happy and content, not to mention thrilled to be with other dogs! He really had a great time! To say "highly recommend!" is truly an understatement. Thank you Kristin!”

“Austin has excellent communication, very flexible with scheduling. Immediately setup a time prior to the appointment to have a meet and greet. Walter had an absolute fabulous time with Austin! Kept us up to date with how things were going, with videos, pictures, and messaging. Highly recommended Austin! 10/10 will book again!”

“Tyler was great! It was our first time hiring a sitter for our girls and using Rover. Tyler was excellent with communication, and even came to our home twice before our first trip to confirm all of the instructions. Everyday he showed up when he was supposed to and gave a detailed report of how each visit went. He was extremely careful when entering and leaving our home as he was made aware that one of our cats was an escape artist. We were very comfortable having Tyler in our home taking care of our cats and he did a great job! We look forward to our next trip and hiring Tyler to come back. In the past, we've packed up our girls and stress them out to have a family member watch them in their space. Tyler allowed us to keep our girls in their own home with familiarity and in keeping with their same feeding schedule. Our girls were calm when we returned home and didn't skip a beat. I highly recommend Tyler's services!”


“Nina was fantastic in taking care of our kitties. She was flexible when we had last minute schedule changes and super nice and communicative throughout the whole process. We will definitely rebook with her again!”


“They were great with Matilda! They were so nice and responsive about my anxious messages and are definitely pros! We are so appreciate of all the photos and the love they gave our baby. Would definitely recommend!”


“Shannon took great care of our fur babies while we were away. Litter box was cleared and furballs picked up! Kitties were very happy to have her visits and give pets! Would absolutely use her service again! Great communication 👍🏽”

“Susan did an excellent job taking care of my cat and home while I was away for two weeks! She and my cat were fast friends and I returned to a clean home. I would definitely recommend her!”


“Ana was awesome!!!! She sent me multiple pictures of my cats throughout my vacation. She was very attentive to them and made sure my special needs cat took his medicine. She was very patient with his antics and made sure he ate his food and was comfortable. She even sent a few videos of them happily purring which was unexpected as they typically avoid strangers. I highly recommend her and would feel safe leaving my cats in her care again.”


“Kristen was very attentive and took great care of my cat. With not the best weather while we were gone, she made sure she could still get to him and take care of him while we were away.”


About: I am certified in pet first aid and CPR (dogs and cats). I am experienced in administering oral medicine. I also understand how complicated medication and health issues are in pets, and I take it very seriously. I will make sure you feel happy and comfortable that your pet is in my home by going through all of the details before your pets stay and updating you with pictures and videos! Our own cats are blocked off by door at the top of stairs (they'll stay on the second floor). I make sure our home is a calm environment filled with toys, playtime, cuddles, and mentally stimulating activities. My goal is to do what's best for the individual cat and make them feel both safe and loved! There is a private room that will be changed to fit the cat's needs. The set up will include activities, their own items, and washable mats on the floor that will be washed/disinfected before use. ****To ensure the safety of all pets in the household, I need to see the most recent Vet paperwork showing your pet is up to date on vaccines and does not have a contractable health issue. ****Your pet MUST NOT be aggressive. Your dog MUST be fully potty trained.
“Attentive and gave me lots of updates petting and playing with the cats, even my shyer one felt comfortable with her. Tiffany also checked in on my reptiles too, which was much appreciated. Thank you!”


“Madison is the BEST! Our old walker moved and my husband and I scrambled to find a new walker we liked and could trust which wasn't the easiest task! Madison is reliable, responsible, very commutative, and more importantly great with our pets. Before our initial walk we communicated a lot back and fourth and I was that annoying dog mom with a million instructions. Madison was professional and handled my requests with ease including the request to - carrying around my chihuahua if necessary lol. When one of my pups was sick Madison took the liberty of cleaning up after him and even put cream on his paws!! I look forward to her rover cards and photos I receive daily. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter. She has been my walker for the entire month and January and I already booked her for February. With Madison your pups really are in great hands.”


“Doreen was great! She is so nice and took great care of my kitty. You can tell on meeting her she truly loves animals. She checked in each day on how he was doing and made sure to get over there even when bad weather was incoming. I will use her again for pet care!”

“Kyle is the best! She LOVES animals. It was difficult for me trust someone I just met to come into my home and take care of our two cats that are part of our family. Kyle’s warmth and attentiveness toward Leopold and Maximus put my mind at ease. We are really glad to have met Kyle and will be utilizing her pet care services in the future.”

“Dani was amazing! Took my dog to her 3x and she was excited each time. Photos and updates were sent without asking. I would definitely book anytime to take care of my fur baby. I highly recommend.”

“Becky is great! She sends photos and updates frequently. Riley had a great time! He loved playing with other fur pups. He comes home tired and happy. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Stephen was awesome, kept Gracei happy and safe during her visits while I had to work. I felt very comfortable leaving her there for my first Rover experience and first puppy ever. He kept me updated throughout the day and is very flexible with time. Thank you and can’t wait to book with Stephen again!”
“Renata took such good care of our pup. She put her at ease when she was nervous. Once our pup settled in, she kept me updated and then captured all the fun moments of playing and silliness. Our girl had the best time and was exhausted from playing so much. Such a wonderful experience!”


“Kayla was amazing with my dog! Each time I picked him up, he was happy, and clearly well cared for. She took amazing care of my pet even though he has a broken leg and has restrictions. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Her services are absolutely worth every penny.”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with two dogs, two cats, and even turtles and birds. Throughout high school, I cared for my neighbors' dogs and cats and regularly looked after my extended families pets while they were away, this gave me years of hands on experience with animals of all kinds. I have experience with fostering animals so I have taken care of blind dogs, dogs with diabetes and other disabilities that I am familiar with. I currently work part time at a grocery store, I don’t get a lot of hours so I have a lot of free time! I love animals so I make time for them at all times of the week :). I have a dog park at my apartment that many dogs i have watched loved to run around and play with the other dogs in. My apartment is also very spacious so cats and dogs have plenty of roaming space. I often make sure I get used to any animals environment fast, check out their favorite spots and make sure they’re as comfortable as possible while I am around them!
“Very satisfied with the care of my puppy. Rosmery is a very kind person. My puppy quickly went crazy for her when she picked her up. I loved that she sent me photos while I was away from my Luna. My puppy was very happy when I came back to get her. —————————————————————- Muy satisfecha con el cuido de mi perrita, Rosmery es una persona muy amable, mi puppy rápidamente se volvió loca con ella al cogerla, me encanto que me envío fotos mientras estaba lejos de mi Luna, mi perrita estaba muy feliz al regresar a buscarla. THANK YOU!”

“As a newcomer to Connecticut, I needed a dog sitter on short notice and was initially anxious about leaving my dog, Gingi. However, Jessica exceeded all my expectations. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism and kindness, providing regular updates without any prompting. Receiving photos of Gingi during my lunch breaks reassured me that he was well cared for and enjoying himself. Additionally, Gingi always smelled wonderful when I picked him up. I will definitely continue to book with her in the future. Highly recommended—10/10”


About: Hi everyone! I am an animal fanatic (dogs>people) with an energetic and outgoing personality. I strive to provide the best possible care and have no problem with special requests or schedules! I'll run, walk, play, throw to your dogs content and my own. I've been caring for animals big and small since I was a wee kiddo, have vet experience inherited from my dad who owns his own practice, and overall a soft spot for all things furry. I have a cattle dog mix pupper who is a social butterfly and a bengal that acts more like a dog than a cat. He gets along GREAT with all animals he's been introduced to, just check out the photos! Put yourself at ease knowing that your pooch will be properly attended to at your own convenience! I am currently working part time as a nanny and am looking to expand my passion for animals into a full time career. I previously ran a small dog walking business in Boston and am hoping to do the same here in my home state of CT! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to play with! If your dog is not friendly with others I do have a separate space for my pups if needed.

“My dogs are always happy to spend the day with Ricky. They get excited in the car when they realize where we are and run right through the door as soon as it opens. I’m so happy they are safe and well cared for while I’m away.”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 12. I love every animal for their unique personality and quirks. I have had several clients over the past 10 years that came to me by word of mouth. I have had dogs from puppies to seniors. I do have a full time job but I work remotely most days. I am flexible so I can be there when they need me. All I need is WiFi. If I watch them in my home, we will meet ahead so I can assess how your dog will do with my dogs and cats. I have a fully fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood. If I watch them in your home I come by for a meet and greet.
“Christle listened to my concerns and was very reassuring. She gave me the confidence to leave my pup with her and took great care of him. She provided me updates and pics which reassured me. I will use her again.”

About: I went to Highschool at Edwin O Smith where I took animal science class for four years. I then went to UConn and took a livestock animal class for a year. I have pet sitted for all types of animals from dogs and cats to goats and horses. I owned a small goat farm for 5 years as part of an FFA project learning to be an entrepreneur. I know basic veterinarian technician skills from my animal science classes. I have personally owned dogs, fish, birds, rabbits, hamsters. I have the experience to deal with more difficult animals. I will make sure your pet is in an environment that's stress free and full of cuddles. At the moment I am a stay at home mom doing online courses for accounting. Since I’m always home it’s perfect for watching pets 24/7 or going out and feeding, walking, etc.. for periods of time. At my house I have an empty barn with a huge fenced in area for pets to enjoy running free, being outside, playing fetch, or just relaxing in the shade. I also have a fenced in porch where I like to sit outside and watch the day go by with furry friends.

About: I am new to the Rover app but I’ve taken care of animals my entire life and have a wide range of availability! I just want to be able to help those who need their fur babies taken care of without the added stress of boarding them. I have experience with lots of different animals, sizes, diets and medicine administration. I only have one pet in my house and he’s a small 20lb dog named Koda. He LOVES other animals and even has some cat bffs! I am home most week nights and weekends so i have pretty open availability! I take my dog on long walks after work and we are always looking for more company! I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a very yard with a leash that is on a run with plenty of room to get the zoomies out! I have a spacious house and we welcome dogs on all furniture, so if you have a pet who prefers to cuddle up and sleep in bed, i’m your gal!
“Very friendly, caring, and knowledgeable of pets. Gave a report at time of pick up of how he did, any problems that arose, and suggestion they could help if need be. My pup is hyper so her fenced in yard was perfect. He was happy and relaxed at pick up. Would I use her again? Absolutely, yes. He felt safe with her and that is what we want when leaving out pets!”

About: I’ve cared for pets, my own, and also those of friends and relatives, for several years. I have a large fenced in yard and my own playful pup to entertain your dog throughout the day. I am working full-time from home but have a beautiful fenced in yard for your dogs to play in and I’m able to take frequent breaks throughout the day to play alongside them. I have my own playful pup to keep your fur baby company throughout the day. Whether it is romping around with my dog, lying in the sun or relaxing in the shade, your dog is sure to be in good hands.

About: Been taking care of dogs for 6 years now. Have had experience training two of my own dogs and taking care of them/walking them on my own. I also work alongside with my father (also named Luis ) who has been doing dog boarding for about 2 years now. Me and my father are very used to the behavior of dogs and comfortable with dogs no matter the size or the breed of your dog. I have always had a strong love and a passion for animals, especially dogs I am currently a college student looking to make a little bit extra money by taking care of dogs. If I cannot look after the dog, my dad also takes care of dogs and is always available Me and my father don't live in a very busy neighborhood so you don't have to worry about your dog being unsafe. We have a relatively big house and also have a park very close to my house with a big open field and fence for the dogs to run around in were I can walk your dog and play with them to keep them busy without the risk of them getting hurt. I also have many toys for your dogs to play with if you would like for me to have them get a more fun experience instead of just walking them.

About: Since I can remember I have always been around dogs and cats in my life, mostly rescues, who needed training and caring for. I currently pet sit for my family when they are away, and walk dogs for family friends. When I was a professional cleaner I encountered all breeds and ages of cats and dogs every single day so I am very comfortable around all types of pets.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. Even through college and grad school, I had roommates with pets. Now I’m living in a rental that doesn’t allow animals, so I’m hoping to find some local pets to care for and spend time with! I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages and activity levels since I was young, and I enjoy taking dogs for walks any time of year! I’m a middle school teacher, so I have a pretty consistent schedule from August-June. Most days I’m able to leave work by 3, so I have all afternoon and evening to care for pets. In the summer and on breaks, I have a lot more flexibility with my schedule. I do have a small fenced in yard in case I had a client’s pet in my home, though I’d more than likely care for the pets in the client’s home. I have experience feeding, bathing, crating, giving meds, walking, and snuggling dogs of all ages and activity levels, as well as feeding and giving meds to cats.

I take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m highly detail-oriented, follow all care instructions closely, and prioritize safety at all times. I provide consistent communication with updates and photos, respect clients’ homes, and adapt easily to pets of all ages and temperaments. Above all, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I will be attending college until May, I am free most weekends or after classes. I make sure walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins are never rushed, and I only take on bookings I can fully commit to. This allows me to provide consistent, reliable care while maintaining a balanced routine, so every pet receives my full attention and dependable care. I care for pets in their home by maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow all feeding, walking, litter, and medication instructions carefully while prioritizing safety and cleanliness. I give each pet attentive companionship through play, enrichment, or quiet time based on their personality, and I respect their space when needed. I also keep the home tidy, secure, and treated with care, and provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”

“We can't tell you how very grateful we are to have found Kristin on Rover. This was so much more than simply a safe and healthy boarding experience! She (and Mark!) engaged our Blake in daily life like he was their own. The frequent notes and photos let us know he was happy and content, not to mention thrilled to be with other dogs! He really had a great time! To say "highly recommend!" is truly an understatement. Thank you Kristin!”

“Austin has excellent communication, very flexible with scheduling. Immediately setup a time prior to the appointment to have a meet and greet. Walter had an absolute fabulous time with Austin! Kept us up to date with how things were going, with videos, pictures, and messaging. Highly recommended Austin! 10/10 will book again!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 6 years and have encountered all types, from the couch potatoes to the ones who want to play nonstop! I am home full time so I am available any day and any time for drop off and pick up. Being home full time also means I will be available for your pet at anytime they need me throughout there stay at my home. I have a sturdy 100 ft dog runner that has held very large dogs. However,if your dog does better on a regular leash just let me know and I can leash for bathroom breaks instead. While at my home your pet is my only priority and I am happy to suit any needs they have.
“Janelle and her family were wonderful caretakes of our puppy. She is very attentive to his needs and gave him a lot of attention and love. He is very happy there and we would highly recommend Janelle!”
“Wonderful experience with this team. Definately would plan to work with them again. Thoughtful and sweet. My pouch enjoyed his time with them and they were very responsive. Loved getting pics of my pouch while he stayed with them.”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with two dogs, two cats, and even turtles and birds. Throughout high school, I cared for my neighbors' dogs and cats and regularly looked after my extended families pets while they were away, this gave me years of hands on experience with animals of all kinds. I have experience with fostering animals so I have taken care of blind dogs, dogs with diabetes and other disabilities that I am familiar with. I currently work part time at a grocery store, I don’t get a lot of hours so I have a lot of free time! I love animals so I make time for them at all times of the week :). I have a dog park at my apartment that many dogs i have watched loved to run around and play with the other dogs in. My apartment is also very spacious so cats and dogs have plenty of roaming space. I often make sure I get used to any animals environment fast, check out their favorite spots and make sure they’re as comfortable as possible while I am around them!
