“Brittany was so great about communicating and sending pictures of all the fun activities she did with our lab! She is very hands on and excellent with making our pup feel right at home. We will definitely use again :)”
“Super accommodating with the short notice booking I requested! Steph is bright and friendly. She let me know if there were any issues with my pup. Would book with her again!”
“Suzanne and her family were absolutely wonderful with Archie. He suffers from separation anxiety when first meeting new people but Suzanne made sure he felt at home in no time. He got a lot of play time and car rides too! Suzanne sent us photos and provided great updates. When we arrived to collect him he was so happy and relaxed and ran back to her kids to say goodby a couple of times. He was a happy dog and I know he will love to go back. Her location is perfect for our random trips to Uncasville and Rhode Island, and Suzanne will be our "go-to first choice for sitter for any future trips!”
About: Hello! I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was young, for about 8 years now as well as dog sat my older sisters two dogs and my oldest sisters three cats. I’ve also house sat for my cousins and grandparents various animals over the years and I love it. Meeting new pets warms my heart and brings me comfort as i’m not from the area it would be nice to get to meet some people from the area and make some new furry friends. I currently work nights so i’m free to pop over in the morning or afternoon and check in on the pets when needed or give them a walk! I love going on walks with my pets so if you want your pet to get a good walk in i’m your gal! I also really enjoy trying to teach pets new tricks with treats and positive reinforcement, and bathing animals so I offer bathing/groom services if needed.
“Jessica is amazing, even when I got my drop off and pickup dates wrong she met my needs and had no problem with either. My dog came back happy, tired, smelling good. She also sent me pictures of him playing every day, which was nice to see he was having a good time. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“We love Albert! He always sends us pictures and updates on Bailey while we are away! She is always smiling and makes so many new friends! She is nice and tired when coming l home! We will only choose him when she needs a place to stay!”
“Our first encounter with Karen was very calm and she was super sweet. Remi warmed up to her almost immediately. It was a last minute booking and she was able to accommodate a meetup before the actual boarding which I appreciated. She kept us updated with photo and videos of Remi throughout the day. That alone gave me a peace of mind. Overall very pleased and would love to rebook again in the future.”
“This was my first time using the Rover app, and I was quite nervous leaving my separation anxiety riddled dog with someone new. I am so happy to have found Kristin. She was great with keeping me informed of how Raven was doing, quick with communication, and was flexible with me adding another day onto the previously scheduled days we had booked. Will for sure use her services again in the future. Thank you again, Kristin!”
“I left my Baby (Mr. Prince) with Ms. Geneva and will plan to have her sit for us again. She was courteous and polite. She kept me updated on how he was doing as well as sent pictures. This really eased my mind without me even asking her to. I met her the day before and felt comfortable. I highly recommend her for sitting and as I stated earlier, I plan to utilize her services again.”
“Dani is great with dogs. Our dog Hart spent the week there while we were on vacation. We got pictures and updates every day and he enjoyed his time there. Dani is conveniently located for us and very kind. Your dog will be in great hands!”
“Staying with Erica and Thomas is like a vacation for Bronte! She gets lavished with attention and has lots of fun time with wonderful playmates. It’s her home away from home and I feel very fortunate to have found such great dog minders for my puppy. 🐶😊”
“Elizabeth was fantastic with my dog! She accomodated a few special requests and gave him lots of snuggles. I also received plenty of updates and am already planning my dogs next visit!”
“Eva was great. She sent multiple pictures, walked her numerous times and Ellie was more comfortable with Eva that she was asking for b(Ellie) rubs :) I'd recommend Eva to all my friends who have dogs.”
“Wil was really great with my dog, even though he is usually reactive he behaved wonderfully with him and I could tell he had a really good time there! I will definitely be booking again! There was some slight confusion though since I wasn’t told it wouldn’t be Francis herself watching my dog but rather her parents, which was fine as they were great with him but it was a surprise.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Growing up, my mother was (and still is) a doggy foster mom for our local shelter. We constantly had 4-6 dogs in our home, most of which ended up staying long term. I have years of experience caring for multiple dogs and senior care as well! I work completely from home which will allow me plenty of time to attend to your pups needs all throughout the day. I love to jog and hike, so your pup will be sure to get plenty of exercise and outdoor time with me! I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. Working from home allows plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs will always be kept safely leashed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, feeding schedule, crate preferences, and any special care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure.”
“Oakley had a blast!! We could tell you just take such good care of Oaks like he was one of your own. We could not appreciate it any more, and was the best stay for him! We will be coming back with Oakley 1000%! We were updated with pictures all the time of our boy and could tell he was extremely happy! Thanks so much again, Oakley will be back soon!!”
“Laura was so wonderful! She made our family and our pup so comfortable and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. We were so happy knowing that our dog got to be part of Laura’s family while we were away. We’d highly recommend Laura!”

“Olivia is amazing! Communicated constantly, went above and beyond for our geriatric feline (thanks for raising that bar on us!) and took great care of the invisible cat brothers. It was a huge relief knowing she was taking care of our feline overlords over the holiday, no matter the weather.”
“My cat Watson is a shy kitty and her first instinct to strangers is always hiding. Brittany was very patient with her and got Watson to warm up to her : ) Brittany is awesome and I very much appreciated her! Will definitely book her again next time when I'm out of town.”
“Britney was reliable and did a great job taking care of our cat with drop in visits I especially liked that she confirmed each day that every task we asked her to do was done and she sent pictures each day which was fun and reassuring to see.”
“Natalie was so reliable and we felt that our fur baby and home were both very well cared for. She picks up on all care instructions quickly, tailored check-ins to our preferences, and went above and beyond. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Kourtney was great. She took excellent care of our to cats while we were away for 10 days. She was very communicative and sent us photos every day. She even noticed some water in our basement after a thunderstorm that rolled through and let us know about it. It was really nice to not have to worry about the cats or bother family members to take care of them while we were away. Will definitely use her again”
“I can’t be more delighted to have Serena care for my girls. When I met up with Serena, she had a kind, soft demeanor with excellent communication skills. During her time, she bonded with my anxious kitty to the point kitty would follow Serena around the house and would wait by the door as she came back with the mail/trash. I am so appreciative of Serena and will ask for her to come back again.”
“Nicole is a wonderful sitter! She watched my cat Otis for me semi last minute on a holiday weekend. He is a shy kitty but he was comfortable with her immediately. She was on time, communicative, and super sweet. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a full-time therapist and lifelong animal lover. I have two dogs of my own who are currently training to become therapy dogs, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. I love spending time with animals and have cared for and pet sat for friends’ pets many times over the years. I’d love to help keep your pet (cat or dog) happy, safe, and well cared for!
“Kate was absolutely amazing! We were so worried about our special needs cat while we were out of town but both of our cats and dog loved her!! She was able to get out very shy cat to eat his medicine and play with her in such a short amount of time. We will definitely be using Kate in the future when we’re out of town!”
“Nikki did a great time. She was on-time every day. Feed the cats, gave them their treats and cleaned the litter box. She responded to all our chats very promptly and gave us confidence that the cats were doing well.”
“Lauren was really nice and communicative while watching my 2 cats! She was able to give my kitty his pills while I was gone and checked in and sent photos every time she stopped by. She also answered within a week of when I needed a sitter! Definitely would recommend booking with Lauren :)”
“Leila was great! We've had her pet sit twice now, and she was awesome. Great communication, easy to get a hold of, consistent with her check ins and sending photos! Would highly recommend her.”
“I feel truly blessed to have found Heather. She is a great communicator, has tons of patience and compassionate with my fur babies. They are afraid of their own shadows & with each visit they warm up a bit more. I can truly be at ease while I’m away from home knowing Heather is looking after them. I will be using Heather for future visits.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laura! She was an exceptional caregiver for our kitty, who can be tempermental and demanding. Laura sent me daily picture and video updates and always made sure I knew what was going on at home, which gave me so much peace of mind. Laura even moved our trash cans for us, brought in the mail daily, and helped prepare our house for a potential hurricane. Laura is caring, trustworthy, and thoughtful, and any family would be lucky to have her care for their animals. I know we will be booking her again!! Thank you, Laura!”
About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician who graduated from Becker College in 2021. My passion for animals is my drive. I currently work at a non-profit veterinary clinic with low-income cost options. I truly feel like I am doing a great thing! Because I’ve been a technician for 5 years, medications etc. are no issue! I also have experience with training! I am a veterinary technician who works 4 days a week so I’m always looking for more animals to fill my other three days of downtime with! I choose to make pet care fit, because it’s my passion. I want owners to be able to vacation worry free! I care for pets in clients homes the way I am asked to. For example, if you ask for your dog to be crated, I will make sure that is done before heading out. The same goes for mealtimes and medication times. I work with the dog’s personality in it’s preferred environment.

“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.”
“Our Roo had a wonderful time. We picked him up and he was a very happy and tired boy. Suzanne has a great fenced back yard that is perfect for dogs. She’s very responsive and we so appreciated her taking Roo on fairly short notice. Thank you Suzanne.”
“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”
“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.”
“Shelby was wonderful!!!! She took such great care of Flash and I felt comfortable with him on her care the entire time. She sent plenty of pictures and was super communicative. Flash was tired and happy when we picked him up!”
“This was my first time ever leaving Ange. I was a little nervous, but everything went great over all. Carolina text me through out the day and made me feel so comfortable with me leaving Ange. I will definitely use Carolina in the near future.”
“I came into the area for the day and Elizabeth was so wonderful to watch my dog Daisy. She has such a lovely home and family. I would absolutely 💯% recommend Elizabeth. Daisy had a great day in her care!”
About: I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep you updated! I’m a college student here in South Carolina who really misses my pets back home, so I’m looking for chances to care for other people’s pets while I’m at school. Spending time with animals — whether walking dogs, feeding cats, or just giving them attention — makes me happy, helps me manage stress, and gives me something meaningful to look forward to outside of my classes. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and relaxed environment. I have a friendly golden retriever who’s trained to stay in the yard, and a bunny who’s free to move around the house as he wishes. I make sure everyone stays comfortable and safe, supervise outdoor time, and always follow your care instructions closely—whether your pet is with me or I’m caring for them in your home.
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets growing up, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and some friendly neighborhood chickens. I love them all! I’ve been walking dogs since I was a freshman in high school and I don’t think i’ll ever get tired of it! I have a very flexible schedule since I only have a part time job, and I take quite a bit of work from this app :) I love taking walks, so I provide anywhere from two to four potty breaks or trips outside throughout the day. I also enjoy hiking and I like to bring pups with a bit more energy to tag along. I’m more than happy to stay in your home with your pets if discussed and my main concern is that your pets are happy, safe, and just like you left them.
About: COVID19 & my services: Special precautions I am taking **Upon Request by you** - wearing gloves, spraying items I’ve touched with my Lysol before leaving (such as door knobs), wearing a face mask. Social distancing during your free meet and greet. Free Video call meet and greets upon request. Please continue reading for more info about me and my pet sitting services below! Thank you and be well. I love dogs and cats! My love for animals started early in life, growing up always having pets and even making some of my first few bucks dog walking for neighbor’s dogs. I come from a family of care-takers, nurses and teachers, so naturally, I love taking care of people and what better way to do that than ensure their pets are cared for, too! I will make sure your precious doggies and pets are loved and taken care of just like it was my own dog or pet. There’s nothing like the peace of mind, knowing your beloved fur-baby is getting the attention, food, water, bathroom breaks, belly rubs, butt scratches, and exercise he or she deserves while you’re away or at work. I’ll be sure to give your dog and/or cats lots of love! One of my proudest memories is when my dog graduated “Puppy Manors Class”. I am happy to know what you’d like to work on with your dog in terms of behavior and training, and help in any way I can - or, follow any commands and training strategies you already have in place. Cesar Millan is one of my favorite dog trainers, for the way he is able to understand dogs and speak their language. Something interesting I’ve learned from him is that dogs actually DO have a sense of time, “Your dog does have a sense of time — and misses you when you’re gone. If you think your dog knows when it’s time for dinner or a walk, you’re right! Dogs pick up on our routines and habits, and they also sense how much time has passed. One study showed how dogs responded differently to their owners being gone for different lengths of time.” I understand the value and importance of a reliable pet care taker - our animals depend on us and miss us just like humans do with their friends and family, that’s why I know how important having a reliable and loving pet sitter is. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you! Please message me first for your free meet and greet. Thank you!
“Albert and Amanda are just amazing. Miss Nova had a blast visiting for the day and they helped introduce her and socialize with the other dogs. I felt so comfortable leaving her and so proud when we received pictures/video of her playing. This short visit was in preparation for a longer stay down the road and I couldn't have been happier with the experience and all the communication to plan for the stay. I would highly recommend Albert and Amanda as they are extremely knowledgeable. They are not only dog sitters but trainers who are willing to educate.”
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’ve had large breed dogs since I was a child. I currently own a German shepherd. have experience with cats and ferrets as well. My home is very clean and organized. Your pet will be super safe and loved I work part time early mornings. Your baby will be cared for and walked before and after my 4 hour shift. I’m free everyday by noon I have a big yard surrounded by hedges. I am very careful and would never endanger your pet because mine is like my child. I have been trained to the De-escalate situations.
About: I'll be honest, I am doing this because I need extra money. But I want to make extra money spending time with your pets because I love being around animals and I want to spend actual time with them giving them love, exercise, and a good time. I am able to spend actual time with them as I am a teacher and do not work during the summer. Animals deserve to be shown affection as much as possible throughout the day especially when a lot of their time is spent waiting for owners to come home. Don't let your pets wait around for you, give them someone to hangout with in the meantime! I love taking dogs on walks and hikes! I know how important it is for animals to be cared for meaning being fed, bathed, and given a good rubbin. If you have any questions, feel free to ask (: I am a teacher on summer break so I am fully available for your pets! I love to take them for walks and play with them. I care for pets by taking them for walks and to the bathroom based on their schedule at home. I love to play with dogs and give them rubs. I love making new dog friends.
“Rachel is absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend her services! After our initial meeting and introduction, I knew she was the perfect person to watch my new puppy Scout! She's so sweet and caring, and is such an animal lover! After it went so well with the drop-in's and seeing how much Scout loved her, we sent him to Rachel's Doggy Daycare. He absolutely loves her sweet dog (no pun intended!) Sugar, and got lots of playtime and walks at daycare. Rachel kept me up to date with how Scout was doing during the day and made sure to send lots of photos and videos :) I am so happy we found Rachel and will continue using her services for our puppy!”
About: I have had dogs, various other pets, and have rescued quite a few wild animals throughout my life. My large immediate family always counts on me to watch their animals when they go on vacation. My son recently bought a house with a nice yard and he took his dog with him. As you can see from the photos, that dog and I spent a lot of time together. I still make his food from scratch and take him for hikes as often as I can. I make my own hours and now that I do not have a dog around pushing me to walk the town, several times a day, I feel this is a good fit to keep me active. I have a lot of experience with a 90lb nervous pitty, and have a number of safe and private locations in mind for walks. I also have a large crate and access to a large yard if needed. I genuinely care for Animals and will put in the effort it takes to ensure each unique personality has a great experience.

“Great experience using rover for first time. I couldn’t walk my dogs because of ankle surgery. Ashlyne responded right away and came over on short notice and walked my two dogs, an 11yrs old black lab and an 1yrs old black lab / Belgian malinois mix. They both liked her and went walking with her with no hesitation. Plan to use Ashlyne again and highly recommend her.”

About: I like to be active with pets and can also adjust to their personality. I enjoy just being present and spending time with all animals in general I’m currently working full time so after work is best fit for me. Anytime from 5 o clock until whenever. Also free on the weekends I tend to play inside a lot but going outside is a plus. Walks included and just being active if possible.

“Jeanette is awesome! She came before her first walk to meet us and was very nice. She was on time and sent us pictures of our pup. We are excited for her to come back this week!”
About: I’ve grown up my whole life with dogs and cats in my family! I grew up with 2 small dogs (10lbs), both living until 15 years old. Our one girl Lilly needed medication for congestive heart failure twice a day everyday for years. We snuck it in with peanut butter…to her it was just a treat! I also have pet sit for my sister who has 2 large dogs (50lbs doodle & 100lbs golden retriever/German Shepard mix), and my aunt who has a German Shepard. I now live with my 2 cats, and 2 other cats of my family (4 total). I love my cats more than anything in the world, and make sure they are as spoiled as can be. I am comfortable taking cats outside on a harness and a leash! That’s how my cats go outside. I am comfortable taking care of dogs and cats, respecting their boundaries, and making sure that they are comfortable around me! I am a freelance makeup artist so most of my work is done on the weekends, leaving the weekdays almost completely open every week. I have plenty of time from morning until night! I have a lot of time for drop in visits, and walks, however because of my home situation with all of my cats, they would not be fond of other animals coming in, and I am too attached to leave my cats at night. I treat every pet that I meet like I am their favorite aunt that spoils them every time she comes over! I like to learn as much about them as possible so that I can respect them, their space, and their boundaries. I am very trusting when it comes to animals and rarely feel unsafe around them. It can be scary letting people into your home and caring for your pets and I understand that 100%, so I want everyone to be as comfortable as possible. I want each pet to have the best quality of life possible, and if I can assist with that I would love to.

About: Hi, I’m Clara! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny parrots to towering horses—and I’m confident handling everything in between. I have experience with: • Puppies and young dogs (training, socialization, and lots of patience!) • Caring for a dog with frequent seizures and special health needs • Working at a large dog rescue in Mexico, rehabilitating street dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sizes • Administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions • Senior pet care with extra attention and gentleness (my dog is epileptic so I know how to administer all seizure meds and the full protocol) • Basic training and reinforcing good behavior • Horse care from years of working in barns (feeding, grooming, handling) • Volunteering for a year at a parrot rescue, learning about specialized bird care I’m active and outdoorsy, so I love taking energetic dogs for runs, hikes, or long walks—but I’m just as happy giving older or calmer pets plenty of snuggles. Safety, compassion, and keeping your pets happy are my top priorities, and I’ll always send plenty of photo updates while you’re away. I’m currently completely open and very flexible with scheduling. I’m not working another job right now, so I can adjust to your pet’s exact needs—whether that’s early mornings, late nights, or last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets must be friendly with other dogs, as I have my own, and everyone’s well-being is a top priority. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and fresh air, and I love going on regular walks to keep pets happy and healthy. I’m very routine-oriented, so I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, exercise, and care schedule exactly as you request—whether in my home or yours. I make sure each animal feels secure, loved, and stress-free, with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection.

About: I own a Newfie and a golden doodle. I own a bakery this is something to keep me busy and help you when you need it I love dogs! If mine could talk they would tell you all about it. But I wanna be able to provide the love I give to my dogs to yours. I hope you pick me to sit your dogs and give them the love you would as if it was you. I walk my dogs ever 2-4 hours depending on what is going on in my house. As well as caring for our farm animals I’m available Monday through Friday anytime after 4 and before 7. I have weekend availability all day long 6am-9pm if you need later or earlier please ask! Our pets are with us at all times when we are home. If we are in your home I wills make sure to follow your set of instructions
About: I'll be honest, I am doing this because I need extra money. But I want to make extra money spending time with your pets because I love being around animals and I want to spend actual time with them giving them love, exercise, and a good time. I am able to spend actual time with them as I am a teacher and do not work during the summer. Animals deserve to be shown affection as much as possible throughout the day especially when a lot of their time is spent waiting for owners to come home. Don't let your pets wait around for you, give them someone to hangout with in the meantime! I love taking dogs on walks and hikes! I know how important it is for animals to be cared for meaning being fed, bathed, and given a good rubbin. If you have any questions, feel free to ask (: I am a teacher on summer break so I am fully available for your pets! I love to take them for walks and play with them. I care for pets by taking them for walks and to the bathroom based on their schedule at home. I love to play with dogs and give them rubs. I love making new dog friends.
About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician who graduated from Becker College in 2021. My passion for animals is my drive. I currently work at a non-profit veterinary clinic with low-income cost options. I truly feel like I am doing a great thing! Because I’ve been a technician for 5 years, medications etc. are no issue! I also have experience with training! I am a veterinary technician who works 4 days a week so I’m always looking for more animals to fill my other three days of downtime with! I choose to make pet care fit, because it’s my passion. I want owners to be able to vacation worry free! I care for pets in clients homes the way I am asked to. For example, if you ask for your dog to be crated, I will make sure that is done before heading out. The same goes for mealtimes and medication times. I work with the dog’s personality in it’s preferred environment.

“Brittany was so great about communicating and sending pictures of all the fun activities she did with our lab! She is very hands on and excellent with making our pup feel right at home. We will definitely use again :)”
“Super accommodating with the short notice booking I requested! Steph is bright and friendly. She let me know if there were any issues with my pup. Would book with her again!”
“Suzanne and her family were absolutely wonderful with Archie. He suffers from separation anxiety when first meeting new people but Suzanne made sure he felt at home in no time. He got a lot of play time and car rides too! Suzanne sent us photos and provided great updates. When we arrived to collect him he was so happy and relaxed and ran back to her kids to say goodby a couple of times. He was a happy dog and I know he will love to go back. Her location is perfect for our random trips to Uncasville and Rhode Island, and Suzanne will be our "go-to first choice for sitter for any future trips!”
About: Hello! I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was young, for about 8 years now as well as dog sat my older sisters two dogs and my oldest sisters three cats. I’ve also house sat for my cousins and grandparents various animals over the years and I love it. Meeting new pets warms my heart and brings me comfort as i’m not from the area it would be nice to get to meet some people from the area and make some new furry friends. I currently work nights so i’m free to pop over in the morning or afternoon and check in on the pets when needed or give them a walk! I love going on walks with my pets so if you want your pet to get a good walk in i’m your gal! I also really enjoy trying to teach pets new tricks with treats and positive reinforcement, and bathing animals so I offer bathing/groom services if needed.
“Jessica is amazing, even when I got my drop off and pickup dates wrong she met my needs and had no problem with either. My dog came back happy, tired, smelling good. She also sent me pictures of him playing every day, which was nice to see he was having a good time. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“We love Albert! He always sends us pictures and updates on Bailey while we are away! She is always smiling and makes so many new friends! She is nice and tired when coming l home! We will only choose him when she needs a place to stay!”
“This was my first time using the Rover app, and I was quite nervous leaving my separation anxiety riddled dog with someone new. I am so happy to have found Kristin. She was great with keeping me informed of how Raven was doing, quick with communication, and was flexible with me adding another day onto the previously scheduled days we had booked. Will for sure use her services again in the future. Thank you again, Kristin!”
“I left my Baby (Mr. Prince) with Ms. Geneva and will plan to have her sit for us again. She was courteous and polite. She kept me updated on how he was doing as well as sent pictures. This really eased my mind without me even asking her to. I met her the day before and felt comfortable. I highly recommend her for sitting and as I stated earlier, I plan to utilize her services again.”
“Dani is great with dogs. Our dog Hart spent the week there while we were on vacation. We got pictures and updates every day and he enjoyed his time there. Dani is conveniently located for us and very kind. Your dog will be in great hands!”
“Staying with Erica and Thomas is like a vacation for Bronte! She gets lavished with attention and has lots of fun time with wonderful playmates. It’s her home away from home and I feel very fortunate to have found such great dog minders for my puppy. 🐶😊”
“Our pup was in great care with Elisa and her family for a week while my family and I traveled. Elisa provided updates showcasing our pet’s happiness, comfort, and playfulness in her home. After sharing that our dog has congenital knee issues, Rob, her partner, even installed another step on their dog ramp for our dog to climb up comfortably. We hope to rebook with Elisa again when needed!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic with my dog! She accomodated a few special requests and gave him lots of snuggles. I also received plenty of updates and am already planning my dogs next visit!”
“Dana just loves dogs and my dog is always very happy when she is with Dana. I have used her 3 times and would not hesitate to have my dog with her again! She also sends me wonderful pictures. I trust Dana!”
“Eva was great. She sent multiple pictures, walked her numerous times and Ellie was more comfortable with Eva that she was asking for b(Ellie) rubs :) I'd recommend Eva to all my friends who have dogs.”
“Wil was really great with my dog, even though he is usually reactive he behaved wonderfully with him and I could tell he had a really good time there! I will definitely be booking again! There was some slight confusion though since I wasn’t told it wouldn’t be Francis herself watching my dog but rather her parents, which was fine as they were great with him but it was a surprise.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Growing up, my mother was (and still is) a doggy foster mom for our local shelter. We constantly had 4-6 dogs in our home, most of which ended up staying long term. I have years of experience caring for multiple dogs and senior care as well! I work completely from home which will allow me plenty of time to attend to your pups needs all throughout the day. I love to jog and hike, so your pup will be sure to get plenty of exercise and outdoor time with me! I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. Working from home allows plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs will always be kept safely leashed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, feeding schedule, crate preferences, and any special care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure.”
“Oakley had a blast!! We could tell you just take such good care of Oaks like he was one of your own. We could not appreciate it any more, and was the best stay for him! We will be coming back with Oakley 1000%! We were updated with pictures all the time of our boy and could tell he was extremely happy! Thanks so much again, Oakley will be back soon!!”
“Laura was so wonderful! She made our family and our pup so comfortable and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. We were so happy knowing that our dog got to be part of Laura’s family while we were away. We’d highly recommend Laura!”
