“This is our first Rover experience and it went very well. Christyna looked after our cat for a week. She helped brush our cat’s teeth, wrote up detailed Rover card, and took good pictures. Will definitely rebook if we are out of town again.”
“Destiny was terrific! I had a last minute work trip and needed extended care for my cat. She was extremely accommodating and took wonderful care of him. He took to her immediately which is rare for him. Destiny was extremely flexible as plans changed due to a blizzard that impacted the area. She followed all instructions for the cat and treated my place like it was her own — it was spotless when I got back. Thank you, Destiny!”
“The best with my girl Persephone. She was able to take her in very last minute and was very very flexible. I really appreciate all of her help and the way she was with Persephone during this tough transitional period. Loved all the pictures and videos she sent and I noticed that Persephone became less stressed overtime which I love. Highly recommend Madalys to everyone!”
“Moe has been so great for my pups. She stops in to let them out and play with them while I’m at work. She’s very communicative about her schedule and I get picture every time!”
About: I work at a doggy day care, and spend over 25 hours every week there. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and believe every dog deserves all the love and care they can get. I work part-time with dogs, so pet care naturally fits into my schedule. I’m used to early mornings, mid-day breaks and evening cuddle sessions. I’m happy to fit my schedule around your pets needs. I make sure they are always supervised, comfortable, and in a secure environment. I follow any special instructions provided and I’m used to keeping dogs happy, healthy, and stress-free! With lots of love and care included!
“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.”
“Taylor is fantastic with our dog! She takes great care of her, is on time and communicates clearly about her visits! Cheez is always happy and calm when we come home from her time with Taylor and we love that we have someone we can trust to care for her while we’re away!”

“I had an excellent experience with Cam, who took care of my 2 cats and 2 bunnies while I went on a brief vacation. Cam is reliable and attentive and updated me after each visit with notes and pictures. My pets were happy and relaxed when I returned and my house was spotless. I would definitely rebook with Cam!”
“Rose want above and beyond to make sure my sweet Baci girl was well cared for- asks lots of clarifying questions and it’s nice to have someone who cares so deeply. She is professional, prompt and I felt totally at ease knowing my kitty was in such good hands. Will def be booking her again!”
“Betsey was an amazing cat sitter for Ace! She was incredibly patient with him, took great care of him while I was away, and kept me updated with frequent messages and lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also went above and beyond by watering my plants during a stretch of hot weather. It was clear that she genuinely cared about both Ace and my home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive pet sitter.”
“Avery was the best! She took such good care of my kitten while I was away. She made sure she was taken care of and spent so much time with her getting all her kitty energy out.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Fairfield
“Gwynne is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had!!! We tried other rover sitters but no one is as dedicated, responsive and caring as her. My dogs Bubble and Molly got two long walks in the scenic neighborhood, rolling time in the beautiful yard (safely leashed!!), cuddling time with mini humans. The dogs and the kids cannot be more adorable. Bubble and Molly couldn’t be any happier! They fell asleep five minutes after we picked them up. I highly recommend Gwynne as a wonderful dog sitter.”
“I’m so happy that Jay was understanding, patient and accepting of Sadie even with her overly energetic and playful temperament. Looks like she had a very active and fun filled day because once we arrived home, she ate, drank all her water, went to her bed and fell RIGHT asleep! This is my first time using any service of this nature & I confidently give Jay 5 stars! He promptly responds to texts and he gives the best picture updates! Sadie can’t thank him enough for such an amazing day and looks forward to seeing him and her puppy pals again very soon!”
“Laura & family were super responsive to messages, sent lots of photos and looked after our dog very well during her daycare session. Highly recommended!”
“Can’t recommend Andrea enough. My dogs aren’t away from me very much and can be scared and anxious with new sitters. I had to drop them off without a meet and greet because I was only in town for one day. The first day they stay with someone new, they usually don’t eat. The best indication that they were comfortable and at home with her is that they ate all the food I left. I would gladly leave them with her regularly if I lived nearby.”

“Scheduled when we were in a pinch so appreciated the flexibility and responsiveness. I didn't get a lot of feedback on how his day went, but he came back happy and tired. I would send him back again if we lived in the area.”
“John took wonderful care of our puppy! She is only 3months, so I especially appreciated the frequent updates and pictures. He responded quickly to all of my questions and sent the sweetest pictures. I would recommend John to anyone!”
“Jieun and Ollie thank you! It was such a wonderful experience to leave my dog with Jieun. I met Jieun and Ollie on video chat the night before and sent over some questions and request to have a long walk or time to run around outside since I was going on and 2 hour drive after picking her up and she offered to take my dog to the dog park! I received pictures throughout the day ❤️ Very grateful to have found someone I trust completely with my pup! Will definitely book again! Also Ollie is the sweetest!”

“Catarina did a wonderful job taking care of our puppy for the day. Lucky had a great time with her and Addison. Defiantly will go with Catarina again! We recommend her for sure!”
About: Hello! I offer doggie daycare and overnights in my home. I have a fenced in back yard with room to run and play. I am home during the day which allows for frequent outings and attention for your dog. My family consists of myself, my husband, three young children, and a parakeet. Our beloved Frenchie passed away recently at the age of 12.5 and she was the love of our lives. We miss her terribly, she was family. In May we adopted a 2 year old lab mix named Winnie from a shelter. She is friendly, submissive, and loves everyone. Dogs must be great with children and house trained. I look forward to hearing from you! I am home during the day which allows for frequent outings and walks in the neighborhood. I am able to keep your dog on their own schedule. I have a fenced in backyard for running and playing or just sniffing around like our Frenchie loved to do. My children are gentle, calm, and respectful of dogs. They have always had a dog in the house and love all animals. Your dog will be treated like family while you are away!

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.

“Avery is amazing with our Kaya. She has a friendly, welcoming personality and goes above and beyond. She made sure Kaya had everything she needed, she showed genuine care for our dog. I'm so happy we found this Rover app and found Avery. She was our first dog walker through this app and she helped guide me through the process. We will definitely be calling Avery to help us once she gets back from college. Thank you for being a good human Avery! Kaya can't wait to see you again. 🐶🐾❤️”
About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds from as early as I can remember. Being the oldest of my siblings I was the first to have to take on the pet care chores, and this included both our dogs and our cats, and the other types of animals we had in our household. I have pet care experience with dogs and cats, as well as other pets too. When I moved out on my own with my previous partner (2012-2017) we had adopted three rescued cats, and I was the main administer of the diabetic cat’s insulin and late IV fluid treatments. My ex kept our cats in the split, but in 2018 I adopted my first dog completely on my own. She’s a rescue pit bull mix and now, with my current husband, she is joined by another rescued pit bull mix and a rescued cat. Last year we also adopted a red ear slider turtle off the street in Philadelphia and he now enjoys his aquatic terrarium with his guppy and pleco friends. In 2023 I briefly worked for a dog walking company in Ridgefield and was bit by one of the client’s dogs, unprovoked, and because of that I left the service after being blamed for the outburst and attack (despite telling the owners and the employer that the dog was getting increasingly aggressive with me and I wasn’t comfortable walking him anymore). It was the only time I had ever had an animal turn on me like that and it made me rethink working for a service where I wasn’t listened to or given proper protection. My husband and I have been Rover clients since we moved to Connecticut in 2023 and I am very happy to say we have never had a negative experience, which is why I have decided to lend my services to other pets and families in the area that are in need of an experienced pet caretaker. I am a professional actor so I have days that are marked off for auditions and work or rehearsals, however it is not a consistent time or place. I work throughout the Northeast, NYC, and the Mid Atlantic currently with my acting opportunities, but I am also open to short term travel as well. Because of that, my availability is very open some weeks and not as much on others, depending on what projects I am currently involved in and what the scheduling is like. I would love to spend more time your pets in my downtime and give them the attention they require, since mine are pretty saturated in it regularly. I have two dogs, which are extremely friendly and love other dogs, people, and cats! Our cat is very aloof so they wouldn’t be seen much in cases where pet sitting at my home is needed. Our yard is not fenced in but I am very accustomed to taking them out for walks, or having them leashed under my supervision in our yard. Because I live in Newtown, there are plenty of places to get some quality walks in, and we are also not far from open public dog parks either if that suits your furry friend! I also have my own car which I am more than comfortable transporting your pet in or coming to you for check ins or walks. Our dogs are up to date on vaccines so that is not a worry either, and I am diligent in making sure everyone has a great time when their friends (and our human friends) are over too!
About: I have been babysitting for my neighbors, friends, and family. They really rely on me to take care of their babies when they are on vacation, at work, or running late. They have also asked me to run home and take care of their animals. I'm currently working a part-time job, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your pups! I'm available on the weekends and weekdays. I have a multiz male dog who is very friendly and playful. He is used to being around other dogs and loves to go to the dog park to play with them.
About: i am a certified animal lover experienced across species. you can ensure i am truly dedicated to the care and well being of your beloved fur baby. I am available early mornings and evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends. I am transitioning in an effort to open my availability for more pets! i have a large apartment that is very safe. I have a camera in my apartment with live access directly from my phone and keep everything pet safe at all times (no plants, organized, etc). When approaching new clients, I am gentle and respectful of their spaces.
“Taylor has been wonderful with Moose. I am very happy having Taylor take care of him. She does a great job of communicating when she arrives, during her time with him, and after she leaves. I highly recommend Taylor walking and caring for your pet.”
About: I am a young teen with a lot of time on her hands and I already work at doggy daycare, giving me experience with big dogs and small dogs especially dogs that can be reactive. Every animal should be loved and treated the same way! It actually helps to apply into my job already with more animal experience and my future career in the animal medical field I have two cats at home that I’ve raised basically since work and my love for animals requires me to be 100% about them and open for them all week In my own home I have my cats on a routine, it’s really hard to have animals without a routine especially kittens. I have a job that I work four days at and would love to be able to put forward what I already know in to taking care of your pets!
“Hailey is a great find! She walked my puppy, Andy at 6:30 in the mornings. I needed to make scheduling changes a few times and she got back to me quickly and was very flexible. My puppy is in training and Hailey followed through on all of his training skills for me. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and even worked as a professional groomer. I’m the go to sitter for all my family and friends furry family members. I am relied on for walks, nail trims, baths, and over all care. I’m extremely passionate about dog care and will always treat your pups with love and kindness. I’m very vigilant with your pups and I always make sure they have food and clean, fresh water. If called to your home I would respect it like it were my own. I make sure your dog gets plenty of love and care. I plan my schedule to include daily walks, playtime, and feeding, ensuring they get the attention they deserve. Even on busy days, I prioritize their well-being with structured routines and quality time! I provide a safe and trusted environment where dogs feel comfortable and loved. My home is pet-friendly, with secure spaces for rest and play. I ensure they have fresh water, nutritious meals, and a clean, cozy space. Regular walks, supervised playtime, and plenty of affection help them feel at home and cared for.
“Devora was very good watching our dog and other animals for four days while we were away. She came to our house three times per day to walk our dog and feed her at night. She is very good with all animals. Definitely recommend her.”
“Our recent experience with Kris and Angelica, who cared for our dogs in our home for five days while we traveled, was excellent. They were responsible, punctual, thorough, caring, friendly, experienced, flexible, and attentive to our dogs’ individual needs. Before our trip, Kris and Angelica came by to meet us and our dogs, which made us feel much more comfortable. We have two large German Shepherds with very different personalities and needs—one is young, energetic, reactive, and challenging to walk, while the other is older, slower, very friendly, and easygoing. Kris and Angelica handled both dogs with care and confidence, and kept them happy and well cared for while we were away. I left detailed instructions for feeding, walking, and daily routines, and they followed everything carefully. Since we rarely travel without our dogs, we were naturally a bit nervous about leaving them. Kris and Angelica made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our trip. They sent frequent updates and photos each day, and whenever questions came up, communication was immediate and easy. I highly recommend Kris and Angelica, and they will absolutely be my first call for future trips when our pups can’t come with us.”
