“Jessie, our Springer Spaniel, loved her overnight stay with Laura and her family. Jessie came home rested and happy. We couldn’t be more pleased. We have already booked Jessie’s next visit!”
“Britanny made sure my dog Riley got LOTS of love and attention. She sent daily updates with pictures that showed what a good time Riley was having. I definitely recommend her!”
“I had a family wedding to go to and wanted to find a safe and comfortable place to leave Winston, my young dorgi (half dachshund, half corgi) who had never been away from me since I was lucky enough to get him. Laura and her family turned out to be the perfect people and place. With a beautiful, safe home out in the country, a deck and fenced in yard where he could play, a open-plan house where he was visible at all times, Laura’s place was perfect. And the bonus: three little girls who adored him and lavished attention upon him, much to his delight. Laura, herself, was wonderful, caring, professional, delightful. She took him on long walks which he loved, texted me photos and updates on this progress during the stay, saw to his every need and even made some recommendations to me as to feeding bowls which might slow his eating down (he snarfs up his food in seconds!). I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. But I think he knows he can go back and stay in this home away from home which he will definitely be doing the next time I need to go away without him. I can’t tell you the peace of mind that all this brought me, knowing that he was happy and being well-cared-for and loved.”
“Erica & Thomas (& their kids!) took such exceptional care of our puppy, Hudson. He came home healthy & happy! We were nervous to leave him for the first time, but we received daily updates on him and knew he was having so much fun. We are so relieved to have found such a loving family to spend time with him, and can’t thank them enough for helping us out. Would recommend them to anyone looking for awesome pet sitters!”
“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!!”
“We cannot think Julius and family enough for watching our two dogs over the holidays! It is always challenging for us to leave them behind, but Julius and family took great care of them. They were happy, and well-cared for. Looking forward to booking them again.”
“Milo & Robbie loved Jill & her family (both human and fur-babies). They were clearly happy and comfortable (perhaps a little TOO comfy?? :) And Jill is a great communicator, and was super flexible when our schedule changed unexpectedly.”
“We’ve boarded with Nadjeska and family several times now and they’ve always been nothing but wonderful with our high energy GSD. Always with updates and photos throughout to put our minds at ease. Definitely highly recommend to all!”
“Superb! I felt totally at ease leaving Gabby to Margaret's care. I appreciated her desire to meet Gabby beforehand, and she gave reassuring updates during Gabby's stay. Gabby got a lot of good attention that was documented in photos and messages, and I returned to find her relaxed and calm. I will definitely bring her back to Margaret next time I need dog care.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Brittany and her family caring for our sweet boy, Warren. From the very first conversation, we felt completely at ease. Brittany is warm, communicative, and incredibly attentive — the kind of person who genuinely treats your dog like part of her own family. Throughout Warren’s stay, we received thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that reassured us he was not only safe but truly happy. It was clear he was getting lots of love, playtime, and snuggles. Brittany’s home felt like a calm, welcoming environment, and her family embraced Warren as if he’d always belonged there. What really stood out was the level of personal care. Brittany paid attention to his quirks and the small details that helped him feel comfortable, like a comfy couch and soft blankets. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, well-cared for, and honestly looked like he had just come back from his own little vacation. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving to care for your dog, Brittany and her family are truly exceptional. We’re so grateful we found them — Warren can’t wait for his next stay! 🐾💕”
“My Golden had a great stay with Connie and family. She sent photos, gave updates, and we met before at a dog park to make sure our dogs got along. He was well cared for, and even sent him home with a goodie bad with some treats. They are much more like professional caretakers and couldn’t recommend enough.”
“Mary Jo took excellent care of Dexter!! All of his medicines and quirky maintenance items were taken care of. It was so nice to come back to him knowing he was well cared for.”
“Absolute peace of mind. Leaving older dogs can be stressful, but Elisa made it completely worry-free. She took incredible care of our two dogs and treated them like family. She paid close attention to their medications, supplements, meals and senior routine. We received daily updates and photos. We highly recommend Elisa and will absolutely book her again!”
“Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!”
“I’ve booked with Francis a couple of times now, and they are an incredibly reliable family. They’ve been able to accommodate last-minute requests, which has been such a huge help. They also send lots of photos and updates, so you never have to worry about how your pets are doing. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely love staying with them! I always feel comfortable leaving them in their care and will definitely continue booking with them.”
“As always, our pup is in the best of hands, she’s always excited to stay with Ariel and her family of humans and furry friends. I love our daily updates and pictures and so happy she is in a home environment when we cannot be home with her. Thank you!”
“Sherry provided wonderful care for Denver and Bronco while we were away for 11 days. She spoiled them so much and allowed our family to truly relax and enjoy our vacation.”
“They did amazing with my semi rowdy Luna. I was updated everyday with lovely photos of her and her adventures! They accepted my last minute booking along with a meet and greet. It went as good as I could have expected plus more! I highly recommend and I will be booking in the future.”

“Frances was fantastic with our two high-energy kitties. She immediately put us at ease and was super easy and nice to work with. She took great care of our home and pets. Trustworthy and friendly, she gave them lots of playtime and made sure everything was taken care of so we could enjoy our vacation.”
“Laura was fantastic! We knew our babies would be in good hands as soon as we met her. She was kind, professional and thorough. We were able to relax completely while we were away knowing that they were well cared for.”
About: Cats are the best! I am personally a big cat person and have lived with, trained, and loved cats since I was a child. I have grown up with multiple cats, and currently have one of my own named Creature. I am a warm, detail oriented, dedicated, and responsible problem solver. I provide the exact energy a cat seeks and we always become instant best friends! I take pride in making sure every kitty has what they need (and plenty of pets)! Special needs and requests for care are welcome. I’m happy to clean a litter box, provide needed medication, or just give a good scratch behind the ears! Many friends, family members, and coworkers have hired me to take care of their furry loved one. I would absolutely love to meet and care for your cat! :)
About: I’ve been a pet and animal owner my entire life. We have 3 young kids who love to play and one energetic 4 year old dog who also loves to play, so your pet would get a lot of play time at this house! I have lots of availability this summer, so reach out to me for specifics. Once fall hits and I’m back at school, I’ll be available for weekends. We have one friendly dog to keep yours company. Our yard is not fenced in, but we take frequent walks throughout the day. Our dog sleeps upstairs in the bedroom with us, but we do have a crate available if needed.
“Sarah took amazing care of our cat Kazoo whiel we were away. She gave us great updates at each visit and took adorable photos. Would 100% recommend her and book her again without hesitation.”
“Shannon did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She kept him entertained and gave very attentive care to him. She was prompt and reliable the entire time. And my cat loved to have her around! Will definitely book her again!”
About: I am well-versed in pet nutrition, exercise needs, and I am committed to providing the highest level of care to ensure the physical and emotional well-being of every animal in my care. I'm currently in law school, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets throughout the week. I'm available for house sittings and drop in visits. I'm very experienced with dogs and cats. I spend a lot of time with them at home and on walks. I recognize that every pet has unique needs and preferences. I excel at tailoring my approach to meet the specific requirements of each animal, ensuring they are comfortable, happy, and safe.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my two cats received! Serenity was absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond to make sure they were not only well fed and safe, but also loved and comforted while I was away. She provided regular updates, photos, and was incredibly responsive and kind. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
About: Cats have a special place in my heart. I’ve had several cats since I was a child and currently own my soul-cat. His ears and name (Enzo) are currently tattooed on my arm🤭 and he gives my soul life. I’d love to give your kitties so much love that they don’t even know you’re gone!
About: I have been house sitting over night since I was 14. Family friends have been able to count on me to play with their cats, feed them, change litter boxes, and look in in the cats every few hours.
About: I have taken care of cats ever since my first stray named Whiskers came into my life 40 years ago! My sisters and I begged our parents to let us keep him and that started my love of animals. I have had cats as an adult consistently for 25 years. I have experience administering medications and have cared for elderly cats as well.
“Shannon V. is a fantastic cat sitter! She’s a consummate professional, reliable, trustworthy & just a super nice human being! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur-babies.”
“Brianna is incredible! She comes every Saturday morning to help with our newly diabetic cat's insulin treatment. This requires some level of training to make sure everything is done correctly, and she has been really wonderful through that process. She already knows so much about administering medicine, and she is really easy to teach and talk through any nuance specific to our kitty. She cares for all kinds of animals and has such expertise, making us even more comfortable with her care. She is also more reliable than we could have ever imagined. Always promptly on time and always prioritizing our babies healthcare needs!”

“This was my German shepherd, Evie's, first daycare with Laura. Evie was a bit anxious at first but Laura got her to a calm state quickly and Evie enjoyed playing with her pug, Winston. Laura kept me updated and sent several pictures. Good experience overall and will be back”
“Mary Jo watched my dog and my sister’s (both anxious seniors) over the holiday weekend for daycare. We gave her weird hours and she accommodated us regardless, despite having little ones of her own. Drop off and pick up process was quick. It was late when we picked up so when a steel bowl was left behind she mailed it back, which we appreciated a lot. We trust her experience with dogs and are so happy the fur babies were safe and sound while we were away!”
“Quincy and Zali had a great time with Erica and her family. They seemed to enjoy their stay and slept well after their visit. Looking forward to using Erica and her family again for future stays.”
“This was my first time using Rover.com. I had picked up my German shepherd, Evie, from a shelter in North Carolina last November. Based on her recorded condition when brought in as a stray 5 weeks before she had been through a rough period. She has fully recovered now and is in good health. My wife and I wanted to find someone to board her with where she would be happy when we're away. We identified a few possibilities at the Rover website and following a positive meet and greet with Nadjeska last week, had Evie spend the day with her yesterday. It went very well. Nadjeska sent us several texts with photos during the day updating us on Evie's stay. We were looking for a home where Evie could spend time with and play with other dogs and Evie made a new friend, Sparkles, Najeska's little dog. Nadjeska has a fenced yard which provides a safe place for them to run around in the fresh air. Evie seemed to enjoy the day, Nadjeska obviously loves dogs, and we will be repeat clients in the near future.”
About: I’ve had 8 dogs over the past 30 years, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs through every stage, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with dogs with a wide range of personalities, routines, and care needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and senior care. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow the routine that works best for yours. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your dog(s) plenty of attention and keep their routine as consistent as possible. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home, staying in yours, stopping by for a visit, or taking them for a walk, I’ll do my best to follow the schedule they’re already comfortable with. I’m available for weekday and weekend care and can often accommodate morning, daytime, and evening needs. For boarding and house sitting, I’ll make sure we discuss your dog’s normal routine ahead of time — including meals, walks, potty breaks, medications, bedtime, and any special needs, so their days feel as familiar as possible while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. Before caring for a new dog, I like to learn as much as I can about their personality, routine, health needs, temperament, and any behaviors or situations I should be aware of. I’m also happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand so both you and your dog can feel comfortable. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication, more frequent potty breaks, or extra attention. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your dog’s environment safe and secure, and never force an interaction or activity they aren’t comfortable with. When your dog is staying with me, I want them to feel like they’re at home, not at a kennel. I also know how reassuring it is to see that your dog is happy while you’re away. I’ll stay in touch with regular updates and photos, and I’ll always reach out if I have a question or notice anything unusual. My goal is simple: you should feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention.
“Carolina was amazing with our dog! When we picked him up, he was happy, calm, and exhausted—which tells me he got plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Communication was great and we felt very comfortable the entire time. We’ll definitely be using her again. Thank you!”
“We were in town visiting from Virginia and needed to find someone to watch our baby Jax for a day. So glad we found Elisa! She was very responsive to our request and was able to accommodate our change in pick up time. I can tell her and her family treated Jax like one of their own because he adapted so quickly! And I can tell he had a lot of fun because he instantly went to sleep. We’ll definitely book Elisa again if we need another sitter when we’re back in town!”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was very little. I used to live on a farm and had responsibilities for feeding, walking, and caring for various animals. I am currently a full time online student in college and a stay at home mom with my 1 year old, therefore, I am free all day to care for your cats or your dogs! I take my dog for a walk around my quiet neighborhood in the evenings! She is a medium size dog with lots of energy! I also have 4 rescue cats that enjoy laying around the house being lazy. I have a fenced in backyard that is fairly large so your pups can get the zoomies and have a ton of space! We have a spare bedroom for pets to venture in and use for when they need their own space or just want to lay on the bed. My dog, Lily, is also trained for anxiety needs.
About: I am a dependable and responsible person who has a passion and a love for dogs and wishes to care for yours. I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have loved and valued each one in my life. I adopted 2 dogs in my life and the love I feel/felt for them is like no other. I trained and raised my dog that I adopted at 19 and have been a pet sitter for multiple families throughout the years. I am now a stay at home mom looking to care for dogs for extra income. We are home bodies that usually love to stay local and enjoy our home. I’m a stay at home mom and my partner works remote so our dog gets tons of love and attention throughout the day. We have a large fenced in yard and our amazing dog churro to keep your pet company. Daily walks and playtime outside is a must.
“Very happy and relieved! I had to book last-minute for my pup when a neighbor had to cancel, and Adriana & Christopher were able to take Lucy at their house for the day. I worry about her because Lucy is a bit of an anxious mess when somewhere new (especially when I’m not around), and she was shaking like a leaf when I left. I felt terrible! But she was very interactive and played with their dog so much that she passed out and slept for hours when we got home! So, so happy and delighted with this experience for my little Lucy!”
About: I've lived with and taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. Starting off in apartments where they needed to be walked. I've had my own dogs for the past 16 years. From puppies to seniors on daily medications, I've taken care of it all with my own doggos. We recently lost our doggy siblings, Tegan and Sara in May and July 2022 at 15.5 years old. We currently have a 6 month old rescue named Oswald. I love all dogs! I do not breed discriminate! I live on 3/4 of an acre with a 5' chain link fence surrounding the back yard. I also work from home, so I'm always here. With your permission, I may even take your pups on adventures while in my care! We do have a cat, but she owns the 2nd floor of our house (2 spare bedrooms), so it will not affect your pups stay as we will stay on the first floor. I work from home 9-5:30 M-F. Your baby will get to go out whenever needed in my fenced yard and I will give them love in small breaks during my own work day. They will not spend their days in a crate as I am here to keep an eye on them. I have a fenced yard. I do have a very dog and person friendly pup of my own who will be happy to play with your pup, too, as his favorite place is the dog park. We have few stairs that need to be climbed, 1-3 off our deck (we have a few entrances on the deck) that can be adjusted by closing deck doors as needed for seniors.
“Our doggies had a great time with Lourdes. Communication was great and easy. We received several pictures for daycare. Lastly, our dogs played a lot with Lourdes dog— our boys were tired and slept for hours after we picked them up!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 8. I am a Behavior Analyst and have used my profession for training my dog and helping my friends and family too. I am reliable and will love your pup like my own! I work from home so have the flexibility to take care of dogs during the day. I am available every day unless I am on a pre-scheduled vacation. I have a very friendly mini labradoodle named Libby that can keep your furry friend company on walks! Also in the house is my mom’s dog who is a 3 lb toy poodle who loves other dogs. I’m clean and dependable and will make sure your pup is well taken care of both in and out of your home.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, from farm animals to beloved pets. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs after caring for my Pomeranian, Coco, in her old age.🪽I’m calm, patient, reliable, and experienced with all personalities, routines, and medication needs. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. I’m a full-time student online, so I have plenty of time to spend with pets. I’m active and love getting dogs outside for walks and hikes, and I also make sure they get enrichment through play, structure, and mental stimulation. I practice a lot of this with my own dog, Brownie. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages. I’ve cared for my own dog, Brownie, from her puppy days and know how important patience, guidance, and consistent routines are. I follow the routines you’ve set for feeding, walks, playtime, and enrichment, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home. I treat your home with respect, keep things tidy, and pay attention to the little things that make pets feel relaxed and happy while your away.
About: Hello! My name is Noelle and I am an experienced sitter. I have had many animal companions my whole life including reactive dogs, small/medium/large dogs. I currently have a 100lbs Dogo Argentino and can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m currently getting my masters online so I am available during all hours of the day to look after your companion! Potty breaks are easy and frequent. I have a huge love for animals and seek to give them a comfortable, happy experience while you’re occupied. I have an unfenced yard, a beautiful walkable neighborhood, and treat each furry friend with all the love, care, patience, and respect they deserve from their sitter!
“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!”
“Karen was a great dog sitter for our little guy. She sent photo updates, was kind, & we knew our dog was in good hands. We would definitely book with Karen again. Thank you.”
“As always, Jimmy had the best time with Janelle and her dog Coby. We couldn't be happier to have found them, they truly treat Jimmy like he is their own, which is a special thing to find!”
About: Having cared for 13 dogs and 4 cats (yes, we keep count), we've seen it all. Daily exercise and even bathing is quite familiar to us. Leo has hands-on experience with animal shelters, and I have biological based experience with both nutritional needs and animal anatomy, and we both can provide basic training. We currently have a year-old golden retriever and a tabby! We've dealt with a couple lovable (but difficult) pets and can deal with issues like stubbornness, biting, and basic potty training. Leo works from home, and I'm a commuter-basically, there's always someone home! We are both the "outdoorsy" type and frequent the devil's hop yard, as well as hike through our property. As STEM majors, animals keep us sane! We can also transport your pets (we have the seating and everything). Our property has a spacious (but secure) 100-acre forest, perfect for supervised walks and exploration! At home, our pets—a friendly Golden Retriever and a sweet Tabby—ensure your furry friend will never feel lonely. We can also provide crate time if needed for safety or comfort, and (given our flexibility) tailor care routines to meet each pet’s needs!

About: I have loved animals my entire life. I currently have 7 dogs and 1 cat of my own and foster frequently. I volunteer yearly at an animal sanctuary in UT. I transport dogs and cats for rescues. I have participated in many dog/puppy training classes and would continue any training programs for you while your baby is in my care. I will dispense medications and follow any medical instructions necessary. I am currently retired and love to hike and walk. I have an open schedule in the mornings and afternoons 7 days a week to care for your fur babies. I’m sure they would love to join me on a walk or hike. I have 7 dog friendly dogs that romp at my 2 acre property. My home is often referred to by friends as “Fran’s Dog Park” as visiting dogs are always welcomed. My two cats have learned to tolerate the dog infestation
“Mary has been awesome. She was quick to respond to a last minute need and super flexible. From the first meet and greet she was fantastic with our nervous pup. Our pup quickly warmed up to her and our stress about the daily need for walks was gone. Mary has a great sense for our girl and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!”
“Serenity was great for our puppy! We had to leave the state for the day and she came twice and took her for walks, played with her, fed her, and returned her safely to her crate each time. We arrived home to a well rested and happy puppy! I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own. I take time to learn their routine, personality, and what makes them comfortable. I’m very dependable and I know how important communication is, I’m happy to send photo updates during visits so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ve had animals in my life since I was five years old and have cared for a wide variety of pets over the years. I’ve always had my own dogs and cats. I’m very comfortable with different personalities and care routines. In my thirties I also worked with dog rescues, helping care for and support dogs in transition. While I stepped back from rescue work when my daughter was young, my love of animals has always remained a big part of my life. Because of this background, I’m very patient and attentive and understand that every pet has their own temperament and needs. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Because I keep my schedule manageable, I’m able to be reliable and consistent with visits, walks, feeding times, and playtime. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure each pet gets individual attention and care. I’m happy to work with owners to accommodate their pet’s normal routine and can often be flexible with scheduling when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel secure and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your pet’s routine and your home. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during walks and outdoor time, and I closely supervise pets to keep them safe. I’m attentive to behavior, appetite, and energy levels and will contact you right away if anything seems unusual. I’m happy to follow any detailed instructions you provide—feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, or special care. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. Having had animals my entire life and experience working with rescues, I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for a beloved pet.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was born with my first Golden Retriever “Missy”. My family has had a wide variety of animals from dogs and cats, to hamsters and bunnies, all the way to horses. I am often called on by my fiends to pet sit as I am known as the friend with a surplus of pets. I currently have a small dog named Munchie with many different health problems such as anxiety and epilepsy which gives me experience in caring for dogs with specific needs. I also currently have a large dog who is a Shepard, Boxer mix named Leo who gives me experience in caring for large dogs and their active and rambunctious needs. Along with my two dogs I have four cats who give me experience in the joy of caring for cats. As a pet owner I know the struggle of finding a good and trustworthy pet sitter. That is why I want to be able to be that pet sitter that will allow you to enjoy your vacation or go to work with the peace of mind knowing your pet is being taken care of. I am currently a student at Marist College in Poughkeepsie. Due to my class schedule I have blocks of time in which I am not in class or doing homework that I would love to be able to fill with hanging out with dogs:) Due to the fact that I am a college student I do not have the home environment to be able to care for your dog at my house. But I will give them the love and attention they need during my drop-in visits with lots of pets, playtime, walks and treats!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love being around animals. I’ve also worked as a dog and cat sitter, helping with walks, feeding, drop-ins, and overnights. I’m very reliable and pay attention to the little details so your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, can help with basic puppy training, and am comfortable giving medications if needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make it a fun, positive experience, whether that’s a good walk, playtime, or just extra cuddles. I have a flexible work schedule and am able to fit pet care easily into my day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and some overnights (around my kids schedules), and make sure pets are cared for on a consistent schedule. I’m reliable and always plan ahead so your pet gets the attention and routine they’re used to. I always follow the owner's instructions closely, make sure collars/leashes are secure, and pay attention to any specific needs or behaviors. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. On walks I always pay attention to my surroundings to keep your dog safe. I'm not there to pay attention to your beloved dog, not get distractes by my phone or anything else.

About: I have always had animals since I was a young girl, both cats and dogs. I showed a special interest in them, leading to me attending multiple summer camps for FIDELCO seeing eye dogs. As I got older I began attending conservation summer programs. I have worked on sea turtle conservation efforts in North Carolina. I have also spent a month in Sumatra and Bali, Indonesia contributing to coral reef restoration as well as preserving the local orangutan population. I have watched numerous pets of family friends as well as my own family during vacations. I attended University on the island of Oahu. There I began working at a feline-specialty veterinary office as a vet assistant for a year and a half. Upon moving back to Connecticut in June of 2026 I have begun working at an Urgent Care for pets. I also have two cats, who I consider my children! I work M-F 9am-6pm. I do my absolute best to ensure my calendar availability is up to date and accurate. My calendar is typically updated a month out. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions regarding scheduling. While I do not offer in-home pet sitting at my residence, I ensure your pet will be taken care of just as well I would mine in my own home.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, from farm animals to beloved pets. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs after caring for my Pomeranian, Coco, in her old age.🪽I’m calm, patient, reliable, and experienced with all personalities, routines, and medication needs. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. I’m a full-time student online, so I have plenty of time to spend with pets. I’m active and love getting dogs outside for walks and hikes, and I also make sure they get enrichment through play, structure, and mental stimulation. I practice a lot of this with my own dog, Brownie. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages. I’ve cared for my own dog, Brownie, from her puppy days and know how important patience, guidance, and consistent routines are. I follow the routines you’ve set for feeding, walks, playtime, and enrichment, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home. I treat your home with respect, keep things tidy, and pay attention to the little things that make pets feel relaxed and happy while your away.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11 years old. I have walked, taken pups outside, fed them meals, kept them company and I’m able to do all of that for you and your puppies too! I currently work full time however my schedule allows me to still care for your puppies! The most amount of time I’ll be away at a time is 5-6 hours. I’m happy to chat about my schedule for the week you need me. I have 3 dogs who need much attention, I make sure by the end of the night they are out of energy by playing with them and running around outside. They love getting treats after dinner too and I’m sure your puppies will be just like mine, out of energy and happy!

“Jessie, our Springer Spaniel, loved her overnight stay with Laura and her family. Jessie came home rested and happy. We couldn’t be more pleased. We have already booked Jessie’s next visit!”
“Britanny made sure my dog Riley got LOTS of love and attention. She sent daily updates with pictures that showed what a good time Riley was having. I definitely recommend her!”
“Erica & Thomas (& their kids!) took such exceptional care of our puppy, Hudson. He came home healthy & happy! We were nervous to leave him for the first time, but we received daily updates on him and knew he was having so much fun. We are so relieved to have found such a loving family to spend time with him, and can’t thank them enough for helping us out. Would recommend them to anyone looking for awesome pet sitters!”
“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!!”
“We cannot think Julius and family enough for watching our two dogs over the holidays! It is always challenging for us to leave them behind, but Julius and family took great care of them. They were happy, and well-cared for. Looking forward to booking them again.”
“Milo & Robbie loved Jill & her family (both human and fur-babies). They were clearly happy and comfortable (perhaps a little TOO comfy?? :) And Jill is a great communicator, and was super flexible when our schedule changed unexpectedly.”
“We’ve boarded with Nadjeska and family several times now and they’ve always been nothing but wonderful with our high energy GSD. Always with updates and photos throughout to put our minds at ease. Definitely highly recommend to all!”
“Superb! I felt totally at ease leaving Gabby to Margaret's care. I appreciated her desire to meet Gabby beforehand, and she gave reassuring updates during Gabby's stay. Gabby got a lot of good attention that was documented in photos and messages, and I returned to find her relaxed and calm. I will definitely bring her back to Margaret next time I need dog care.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Brittany and her family caring for our sweet boy, Warren. From the very first conversation, we felt completely at ease. Brittany is warm, communicative, and incredibly attentive — the kind of person who genuinely treats your dog like part of her own family. Throughout Warren’s stay, we received thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that reassured us he was not only safe but truly happy. It was clear he was getting lots of love, playtime, and snuggles. Brittany’s home felt like a calm, welcoming environment, and her family embraced Warren as if he’d always belonged there. What really stood out was the level of personal care. Brittany paid attention to his quirks and the small details that helped him feel comfortable, like a comfy couch and soft blankets. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, well-cared for, and honestly looked like he had just come back from his own little vacation. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving to care for your dog, Brittany and her family are truly exceptional. We’re so grateful we found them — Warren can’t wait for his next stay! 🐾💕”
“My Golden had a great stay with Connie and family. She sent photos, gave updates, and we met before at a dog park to make sure our dogs got along. He was well cared for, and even sent him home with a goodie bad with some treats. They are much more like professional caretakers and couldn’t recommend enough.”
“Mary Jo took excellent care of Dexter!! All of his medicines and quirky maintenance items were taken care of. It was so nice to come back to him knowing he was well cared for.”
“Absolute peace of mind. Leaving older dogs can be stressful, but Elisa made it completely worry-free. She took incredible care of our two dogs and treated them like family. She paid close attention to their medications, supplements, meals and senior routine. We received daily updates and photos. We highly recommend Elisa and will absolutely book her again!”
“I’ve booked with Francis a couple of times now, and they are an incredibly reliable family. They’ve been able to accommodate last-minute requests, which has been such a huge help. They also send lots of photos and updates, so you never have to worry about how your pets are doing. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely love staying with them! I always feel comfortable leaving them in their care and will definitely continue booking with them.”
“As always, our pup is in the best of hands, she’s always excited to stay with Ariel and her family of humans and furry friends. I love our daily updates and pictures and so happy she is in a home environment when we cannot be home with her. Thank you!”
“Sherry provided wonderful care for Denver and Bronco while we were away for 11 days. She spoiled them so much and allowed our family to truly relax and enjoy our vacation.”
“They did amazing with my semi rowdy Luna. I was updated everyday with lovely photos of her and her adventures! They accepted my last minute booking along with a meet and greet. It went as good as I could have expected plus more! I highly recommend and I will be booking in the future.”
“Cassandra & Nolan took excellent care of my Rosie girl while I was on a day trip to NYC. Frequent walks, cuddles, playtime, and plenty of photo updates. She enjoyed taking part in their holiday celebration! I will definitely book them again next time I'm in CT.”
About: I've lived with and taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. Starting off in apartments where they needed to be walked. I've had my own dogs for the past 16 years. From puppies to seniors on daily medications, I've taken care of it all with my own doggos. We recently lost our doggy siblings, Tegan and Sara in May and July 2022 at 15.5 years old. We currently have a 6 month old rescue named Oswald. I love all dogs! I do not breed discriminate! I live on 3/4 of an acre with a 5' chain link fence surrounding the back yard. I also work from home, so I'm always here. With your permission, I may even take your pups on adventures while in my care! We do have a cat, but she owns the 2nd floor of our house (2 spare bedrooms), so it will not affect your pups stay as we will stay on the first floor. I work from home 9-5:30 M-F. Your baby will get to go out whenever needed in my fenced yard and I will give them love in small breaks during my own work day. They will not spend their days in a crate as I am here to keep an eye on them. I have a fenced yard. I do have a very dog and person friendly pup of my own who will be happy to play with your pup, too, as his favorite place is the dog park. We have few stairs that need to be climbed, 1-3 off our deck (we have a few entrances on the deck) that can be adjusted by closing deck doors as needed for seniors.
