“Irene was awesome, very good vibes, a peaceful home setting & my Shih Tzu loved staying with her, playing in her big enclosed yard & going on walks with her, etc. while we were on our family cruise. My fur baby was in good hands with her & I'll definitely board her with Irene the next time we go away!”

“Winston (my dog) had a wonderful stay with Richard. Given it's the first time that I used Rich (and Rover) for hosting Winston, I didn't know what to expect, however, I was very pleased with the care that Rich had given to Winston and the exceptional communication during the stay via the text/pictures that kept me posted at all time. Definitely coming back next time. Liwen”
“Our St. Bernard puppy had a blast at Gwynne’s! We got regular updates with lots of pictures and felt great knowing how much love she was getting while we were away. Looking forward to having Ellie stay again in the future!”

“I’m not entirely sure where to start but Lena is incredible! If you have any trips planned or honestly just want to send your dog to someone that is very kind, caring, attentive and can train your dog while you’re away, Lena is your person. She kept us updated every day as we are maybe more neurotic than some but we knew our Ruby was in great hands as she had plenty of outdoor exercise, exploring, cuddle time and puzzles! Lena was super organized, communicative and made sure we had peace of mind while we were away that our dog was in the best care. I’m not sure she wanted to come home when we came to pick her up! Needless to say, we’re huge fans of Lena and give her the highest rating. She’s the best!”
“Saori took fantastic care of our large doodle Toby for two weeks while we were traveling. We received daily updates with pictures and videos, which was really great. Toby had so much fun and will be going back next time we travel. I highly recommend Saori to anyone who needs a skilled and kind person to care of their pet.”

“Pam was so great with our two kitties while we were away. She was on time every day and we truly appreciated the extra steps she took like vacuuming and offering to take out the trash. Would definitely book again. Thanks!”
“Anita was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Mila, during her drop-in visits this past weekend. Mila is currently recovering from a tail injury and has to wear a cone, so we were especially nervous about leaving her, but Anita was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring throughout the entire stay. She went above and beyond what we booked her for — on Saturday she stayed extra time with Mila to make sure she was comfortable, and she even hand-fed her to encourage her to eat. It was clear from her updates that she genuinely cared about Mila’s wellbeing and comfort. Mila also clearly loved her and was excited to see her during the visits, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Anita provided detailed drop-in notes, great communication, and very clear photos after each visit, which we really appreciated. She also brought in our packages for us, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Anita gave Mila and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Sofia took loving care of our kitties while we were away, following our instructions to a T and sending pics from each visit. We will definitely be hiring her for future trips without hesitation!”
“Couldn’t recommend Marcelline enough! Booked her again to watch my cat while I was traveling for labor day weekend. She was incredibly communicative and thoughtful of my pet’s needs. She is not the kind to just drop in for a few minutes, give your cat a little bit of attention, feed them and then go home. She actually cares for your animal and makes sure they are properly being taken care of while you’re away. I felt so at peace leaving Nina with her for the 2nd time and I definitely plan on rebooking Marcelline again!”
“Extremely impressed with Maria taking care of my cat. My cat is newly rescued and very scared of people. While I was away my cat found some places I didn't even know were possible to hide that were probably not very safe for a cat. Maria went out of her way to get my cat out, and prevent her from going back. By the end of the week my cat was even opening up a bit towards her.”
“I know when my Scribbins is well taken care of in my absence. She is relaxed and calm and content when I return from being away. And Patricia did a fantastic job with her. I highly recommend Patricia.”
“It was my first time using Rover and Jenn did a great job taking care of my cat, Luna. Luna was a bit nervous and Jenn took the time to make her comfortable and they were best friends by the end! I would definitely book Jenn again in the future.”
“Hillary was great at handling all my questions since the day I was leaving my cat started having issues with his eye. She followed my snack and medicine request perfectly and made sure everything in the house was secure before she left. Both cats were happy and well taken care of.”
“I felt very comfortable going out of town and leaving my new cat in Kathy's care. He's very shy but she managed to see him. There was good communication and I found her to be very caring.”
“Cam is attentive, proactive, and thorough. Our booking occurred during the blizzard, He stayed in constant contact and came to our rescue when we were stranded overseas. Cam is a gem. We will happily book with Cam in the future.”
“Jocelyn did a fantastic job with drop in visits for our cats Cacio and Pepe. She covered all their basic needs and favorite things on each visit. She even cleaned up when one of our cats got sick. Loved receiving photos each time she finished a check in! Would definitely book again in a heartbeat.”
“Caitlin was a fantastic caretaker for our cats. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and caring cat caretaker. We have one cat who tends to be shy, timid, and anxious around people who are not myself and my wife. She warmed up to Caitlin within one day and it was clear, from the pictures and videos Caitlin sent, that our sweet girl felt very safe with Caitlin. Caitlin truly cares about and is a natural with animals, and we are so grateful to have hired her to take care of our precious babies! 🐱 🐈⬛”
“Katherine was amazing with Sam. She was super patience in learning his schedule and was on time. I was super impressed he felt comfortable being around her, he usually hides. That means she have a good energy haha i will def be booking with her again.”
“It was our first time using Rover. Cassidy took great care of our cat while we were away. She did a meet and greet prior to our trip to become familiar with our cat and his routine. Phenomenal communication throughout our trip and took great pictures. He warmed up to her quickly. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and will choose her again next time we take a trip.”
“A fantastic relationship through and through. Kim is extremely responsive to communications. Her interaction with my little dog Fred - who is very shy and tentative with new people - was great. She reassured me during my trip that Fred was doing well and interacted with Kim very well. I am grateful for the sitting / home visits Kim provided. I would not hesitate to use Kim in the future.”
“Samantha provided drop in visits for our 3 cats while we were away on vacation. She was super friendly, reliable and an excellent communicator. She was also accommodating to our specific requests and we were able to relax knowing that our cats and house were in amazing hands while we were away. We will not hesitate to book Samantha again in the future.”
“Christina was a total cat whisperer for our two shy senior kitties. She put them at ease like a natural and was an expert with their oral meds. We felt so grateful knowing the kitties were in such skilled and caring hands. Thank you!!”

“Rafa LOVES Andrea. Rafa had a very full visit with Andrea and came home happy and exhausted. Andrea is very friendly and (obviously) loves dogs. She treats your dog like he is her own and I felt so comfortable leaving Rafa there. It was wonderful to have an evening out, knowing he was well cared for while also having a ball.”
“Kevin was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover, my dog usually stays with family or friends, and he made me feel at ease having Roni with him for the day. He asked great questions beforehand that made me feel confident he would be good at handling dogs. And when Roni was with him for the day, he sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on how he was doing. I will definitely use Kevin again! It made me feel better knowing Roni was at someone’s house, being watched by someone who’s really good with dogs, and had dog friends to play with.”
“Chandi watched Vinnie for the day when we had a last minute request. Vinnie had the best time at her house! He played in the yard and enjoyed being with Chandi! Chandi sent photos and frequent updates about Vinnie’s day. We are so grateful for her help!!”
“Judy is an amazing sitter! She was extremely communicative, prepared and responsible. I’m very picky and have had bad experiences with other sitters in the past but I feel totally at ease when my dog is with her. I’d recommend her 100%! :-D”
“Jay is great with my pup. He is attentive, caring, and great for doggie day care. His pup is a great playmate and snuggle buddy. He is flexible and understanding and is always able to work with me and my work schedule.”
“I am a first time dog mom and my Shih Tzu went to stay with them for the day last min and she was so nice. Communication was great because I cried at first because he has not been with other people since I got him. Max loved them he was so happy & excited when he was me .The update videos and pictures reassured me that he was in great hands. Will be booking again very soon”
About: Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day. I specialize in house sitting and cat boarding, giving each pet individualized attention while keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pets and home. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, companionship, or simply a calm and comfortable environment, I take the time to learn their personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I do pet care full-time, so I’m very flexible and can adjust my schedule around each pet’s needs. I’m available to stay consistent with their routine and offer cat boarding + house sitting. I treat every home and pet with a lot of respect and care. I stick closely to each pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I always keep things clean, secure, and send regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing.
“Lena is a true professional dog carer..she took the time my dogs needed to feel comfortable with them. Very accomodating to their individual quirks, truly feel they are safe and happy in her care. Grateful to have found her! Also, bonus, her son is wonderful and my Midge is in LOVE with him.”
About: Animals are my life! They literally flock to me and I've always had a way with my furry friends. In my childhood my German Shepard, Flash, was the love of my life and always loved energetic play, beach runs, and playing in the dunes. I handle dogs both big and small and my current client has a tiny teacup mix, Riley, who despite his ten years of age, will play fetch for hours on end. He does have a heart condition and problem with his trachea, so being careful during walks (not letting him pull the leash too hard) and making sure he doesn't overwork his little heart are two safety concerns to always be mindful of. I also regularly dog sit Riley for weekend stay overs and make sure to stay with him in the bed so he is comfortable. Having grown up with all kinds of pets like parakeets, dogs, and guinea pigs (just to name a few) I've literally learned to "talk to the animals" and it's easy for me to familiarize with new pets and their needs very quickly. I'm very high-energy and can take your dog for an energetic walk at a comfortable based based on their health or general needs. And If you want your pup in tip top shape I can jog with them for hours and incorporate other fun games and exercises in the mix. I'm currently a full time "Rover" so my schedule is fairly open. I'm flexible in terms of last-minute bookings as well. The same flexibility applies if you would like to book a day or overnight sitter. I live on High Ridge Rd in Stamford near the Merritt so I'm only about 10 minutes away from the Mianus River State Park and 7 minutes from the Stamford dog park
“Elaine is an excellent dog sitter! She is incredibly sweet in nature, and very attentive and good with the dogs. I felt so comfortable leaving her with my “son” for the first time, and she did a great job. Not to mention, she was extremely flexible in modifying my reservation at the last minute for me. I would definitely rebook with her in the future, and recommend her to anyone else.”

“Abby is always so happy to see Jennifer when she comes by - her tail doesn’t stop wagging. I love knowing that Abby is getting taken care of when I’m not around. Jennifer is reliable and timely and takes Abby for a nice, long walk. I trust that Abby is in good hands.”
About: I have cared for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs of different ages and needs. I am dependable, attentive, and passionate about animal care. I enjoy spending time with dogs and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently work from home so I have a lot of free time. Why not spend time with furry friends! It’s also a great opportunity to take a breather and get fresh air during daily dog walks. When caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure that their daily routines are maintained to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also make sure the home remains clean and secure while providing pets with plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I am attentive to each pet's individual needs and committed to creating a safe, loving environment while their owners are away.

About: Hello! My name is Skyler and I am currently a mammal trainer at an AZA accredited aquarium with a background in veterinary care. I would love to help walk your dog, whether you have certain training goals or just needing extra help while you are at work! I started my career by walking my friend’s crazy, (but adorable) puppy in high school. I was able to help train the puppy during every walk, and left her tired out when her owner got home. I am off two of the busiest days of the week- Monday and Tuesday. I have full availability to do drop ins, daycare, or dog walks! I have an unfenced yard and plenty of grass out front. I take frequent trips to my local park that has tons of room to play.
About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of dogs and cats, including pit bulls, golden retrievers, poodles, senior dogs, and tabby cats. I’ve also cared for pets with medication and dietary needs, including both oral and injectable medications. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether that means a long walk, plenty of play and attention, sticking closely to their feeding routine, or simply giving a nervous or senior pet some extra patience, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I’ll keep you updated with how your pet is doing and treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I currently work evening shifts at my family’s restaurant in Darien, so I’m generally available for pet care during the mornings and afternoons, as well as some evenings. My work schedule does not interfere with housesitting, and I’m able to provide attentive care throughout the day and overnight. For walks and drop-in visits, I’m happy to work around my evening schedule and coordinate times that work best for you and your pet. I have a fenced-in yard and a very docile and friendly golden retriever. She’s 11 and gets along with every animal she meets. When taking care of a pet at client’s homes, I prioritize leaving it in the same or better condition than I found it.
“Alexa is terrific with our sometimes difficult dog. He loved her from the moment he met her! Alexa is extremely conscientious, keeping me updated on her arrival and departure and always checking his food and water before she leaves. And she takes the BEST pictures of their walks!”
About: After a bit of a break…I’ve returned to Rover! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years’ of experience caring for dogs and cats. I can’t imagine my life without them. I’ve had pets for the last 20 years and am currently mom to a gentle Spaniel mix, a sassy Calico cat and now a snuggly Tabby cat…all adorable rescues. For years (even before Rover) I’ve helped care for my friends’ and family’s pets. This includes puppies and senior dogs, cats and kittens. I’m extremely cautious and respectful with both animals and humans. I work from home, so have time mostly mornings, lunch time and after 5:00, with more time on weekends. If you're away for a few days - I'll even water you plants! I’ll take care of your cat like my own, yet individualize my visit to meet your and your cat’s specific needs. I’m very communicative and will send lots of photos and updates!

“Katie was wonderful! We booked Katie after having concerns with the last sitter following instructions. Katie spoke with us on the phone and was able to assure us she could meet all of Bugsy’s needs. Bugsy is an older dog, so she can be a handful sometimes. But she seemed so well taken care of with Katie. Katie sent photos and updates of Bugsy. She worked with our schedule for drop off and pick up. Overall Bugsy came back happy and in good spirits. I felt great picking her up and feel confident she was well taken care of during our trip.”
“This family is absolutely wonderful. They watched our two dogs for the first time for 6 nights. One of my dogs is a senior and the other has epilepsy and needs medicine twice a day. This family took great care of the two of them and sent me daily updates and pictures. I will definitely book again with them!!”
“I was so fortunate to have found Anastasiia to watch our dog Axel when we traveled to Europe. We had booked a sitter who cancelled - leaving us with very little time to find another over the holiday season. We had Anastasiia was reasonably priced compared to some of the other sitters available (watch out for price gouging during the holidays). I had booked someone who was less expensive but when we did the meet and great, I saw that they were using Rover to run a kennel: 10 dogs kept in an 8x6 garage - with no one home! I took a chance on Anastasiia because she is new to Rover. When I met her in her home, I could tell right away that Axel would be in good hands! The home is charming and so was Anastasiia's partner :-). During Axel's stay he got to go to the park and play and even got to go on a hike. Anastasiia asked me if it was ok to take him and how he was in the car. The pictures of their adventure made me smile :-). I was sent lots of pictures during Axel's stay - most either playing or lounging lol Axel was in good spirits when we picked him up. I felt comfortable and confident that my family member was being given good care while we were overseas. I highly recommend.”
