From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs.

Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“Andrea took very good care of my baby, i was so nervous leaving him with someone new. But i am glad i found her. My baby was well taken care off and he seem very happy.

I give medication, deep-clean litter boxes, play with you pets and overall make sure your pet feels at ease while you’re away.
“This was the first time I booked Le'Andra to do daily check-ins on my cat Gabby while I was out of town. She was great! Le'Andra always stayed in communication with me by text. And she did her best to still take care of my cat while also dealing with the storm and very cold temperatures we recently had. Le'Andra is nice and very friendly. I would definitely request her again the next time I need a cat sitter, and would also recommend her to anyone considering booking her on Rover.”

“I cannot recommend Triba highly enough - she is so wonderful with our dog who has separation anxiety. We’re so lucky to have found a sitter we can truly trust!”
“Jennifer is a sweetheart. She brought Lola right outside when I pulled up. She gave me photos and videos. My dog was so tired when I picked her up I can tell she had a great time cause when Jennifer turned around to leave Lola tried to follow her 😂 I will definitely use her again!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, and I've always had the responsibility of taking care of them. I've cared for family dogs and I help my daughter with the care of dogs and cats. I like to make dogs feel at home. I don't work, I'm always at home, and if I have to go out I always take the dog with me; it gives me time to take him out to do his business, play with him, and he always feels accompanied. I live in an apartment with a garden where they can relieve themselves and a gated parking area, but I still prefer taking them to the park to walk and play.
“Hoaran was so attentive to my pup and kept me up to date for the whole stay. She was extremely accommodating to last minute inconveniences in our travel. Kona enjoyed her stay and came home very fulfilled!! Will definitely book again!!!”

About: I have loved dogs and pets for as long as I can remember! Growing up, my home was always filled with multiple dogs, which taught me firsthand how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. When I left for college, I made the heartbreaking but responsible choice to rehome my dogs with amazing families. I knew that with my intense school schedule, I wouldn’t have the time, energy, or availability they truly deserved. To me, a pet's well-being always comes first. Now that my schedule is open and stable, I am eager to get back to working with animals! I am using this time to gain even more hands-on experience before I am ready to adopt a dog of my own again. By booking with me, your pet will get my full, undivided attention, lots of love, and the highest level of responsible care. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I recently graduated from college and have a few completely open months this summer before starting my full time career in September! Because of this, my schedule is incredibly open, flexible, and completely open for pet care. My personal daily routine revolves around fitness, going to the gym, and staying as active as possible. I absolutely love going on long, frequent walks, so looping your dog into my daily routine is a perfect match! Whether your dog needs high energy outdoor exercise, frequent potty breaks, or just consistent companionship throughout the day, I have the full time, energy, and capacity to dedicate to them. Your pet will be my top priority all summer long! Your pet will enjoy a safe, secure, and incredibly peaceful stay at my house! We have a completely fenced in yard with absolutely no other resident pets, giving your dog full reign of the space. There are also no neighboring dogs sharing our fence line, making it the perfect, stress free environment for pups who get easily anxious or reactive.I live with my mom and my 15 year old sister, both of whom love animals and will occasionally be around to offer extra head scratches and love. Because it is a calm, predictable household, your pet will get highly focused attention and a structured routine tailored exactly to their needs. When caring for your pet in your home, I treat your property with the utmost respect, care, and consideration. I am exceptionally neat, organized, and mindful of your space. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing that I will not only keep your pets happy and safe, but I will also make sure to leave your home cleaner and better than I found it.
“Lisa was the best dog sitter. She was friendly, kind, and communicative. She helped us out so last minute. She took great care of our little Hunter. This was my first time using rover and I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone. She responded to my concerned mom texts and sent pics of our pup hanging out outside. Hunter was smiling, happy, and seemed worn out after his stay with Lisa. We cannot thank her enough for all her help. Thank you so much Lisa!!!!! ?”

About: Um. Let’s see I have 3 dogs of my own and I know how unsettling it is to trust your babies with strangers who don’t understand them. Like what do you mean you don’t wrestle them down with kisses and tickles. You’re a monster. 🤷🏽♂️ I start my day at 4 am so my dogs are up pretty early. I let them out in the yard when I start the car for the gym, when I return we go on our breakfast walk, come home eat and then we go out back before I log in for the day. Most days my guys get 3-4 walks because it helps me with a fitness routine, going outside and clearing my head since I work remote. Our pets have full access to our home; however, during the day the are normally in the office with me because I can open the side door and window. Their crates and beds are also in there so anyone staying with us would most likely be in there; If we’re not outside we’re on the porch, back deck or walking.
About: I have four rescue dogs at home, and I truly understand the joy and challenges that come with caring for them. Since I'm studying online, my schedule is quite flexible, which allows me to balance my commitments. I'm looking for some extra cash to support my education, and I believe this opportunity is a perfect fit for me. Staying active is something I genuinely enjoy, and I’d love to combine that with my passion for caring for animals. I do school online therefore my schedule is very flexible, I can make further arrangements as needed. I am open to anything really don’t hesitate to ask! I have experience with both puppies and older dogs. I recognize how important it is for dog owners to feel that their pets are well cared for, especially since dogs are fully dependent on us.
About: Ive been a dog owner all my life and have pet sat for many family and friends. Young or old, I love dogs and am ready to take care of your furry companion like they were one of my own. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I can watch your pet throughout the week or weekends as needed. Just walks are available throughout the day too. I have a fenced in back yard, as well as a medium sized crate for crating if needed. I currently don't have any pets of my own, but plenty of toys an activities for a fun doggy day! I also live close by a few parks and dog parks that can provide a nice field trip.
About: My fiancé and I are lifelong dog lovers who share our home with Maple, our golden retriever. I trained her myself, and she’s earned her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification — a reflection of the structure and consistency I bring to every dog I care for. I work from home full-time and intentionally keep bookings low-volume, typically accepting one dog at a time. This means individualized attention, regular outdoor breaks and walks, and a genuinely calm environment — not a house full of competing dogs. I have experience with large breeds like goldens and labs, as well as senior dogs who do best with quieter, personalized care. Cleanliness, safety, and reliability guide everything I do, and my goal is for every dog to feel like part of the household during their stay. I work from home during the week, so dogs are rarely left alone and follow a consistent daily rhythm of potty breaks, walks, rest, and supervision. Because I keep bookings low-volume, my availability is limited — I’d rather do fewer stays exceptionally well than take on more than I can give full attention to. My schedule works best for adult dogs already comfortable with a calm, structured routine. To make sure it’s a good fit for everyone, I typically accept dogs that are house trained, crate trained, friendly with people and other dogs, and able to settle calmly indoors. One note on our setup: our yard isn’t fenced, so all outdoor time is on-leash — this is part of how I maintain safety and consistency throughout the stay.
“Kristina is great and I will continue to send my puppy to her for doggy day care! She keeps you updated with pictures during the day, she if flexible with drop off and pick up times and her dogs are friendly and playful with my puppy so he is always tired when I pick him up! :)”
About: I have been a pitbull pet owner for 25 years with multiple dogs. I work from home and can provide the best care and attention to your pet.

“I would 10/10 recommend Jillian. Our first time meeting she did awesome with my dog and her experience with dogs and training really shows. I’ve never seen my dog so responsive and attentive to commands or behaving properly before. If you ask for any tips Jillian has plenty of experience and showed me how to get the best out of my dog. After the walk, my dog plopped right down on the floor and got ready to nap. I definitely will use Jillian in the future for any dog care needs.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and just recently welcomed two cats into my family. I have been babysitting and nannying for as long as I can remember which would often lead to taking care of their four legged family members as well. I’ve assisted in potty training and with my own pets helped apply and give medications. I am someone who is reliable and trustworthy. I know how much my pets mean to me and have always treated any animals in my care as if they were my own. Right now I am off for the summer and because I work in a school am off on holidays and weekends. Once school starts again in August a typical work day is 7am-3pm. Throughout my years of working with families came a lot of house sitting and pet sitting for them and their friends. I am always respect of other peoples homes and am more than happy to take in mail/packages and take care of plants. I will always take care of your pets like they are my own. I am reliable and communicative.
“One of the best! Updated me the whole time my doggie was on a walk and came with last minute notice. Will definitely be booking more walks!! Muffin was satisfied 😇”
“Eleni is FANTASTIC! Her attention to details about my dog, Franklin, is amazing. She treats him like he’s her own dog and makes him feel extra love! I will always turn to her to take care of him!”

About: I have taken care of pets since middle school. Family friends and neighbors entrusted me to care for, feed, and walk their pets while away! I am currently a graduate student in an online asynchronous program! This schedule allows some flexibility to care for pets for families who need a sitter or walker. My schedule changes week-by-week, but I will be sure to adjust specific dates so my availability is accurately represented.

About: My professional journey in pet-sitting and dog-walking officially began in 2021 when I joined the team at David's Pet Services. It was an incredible experience to work with them for nearly two years, but due to my relocation to a different part of Connecticut, I had to step away from my role there. I had the pleasure of serving over 50 clients, gaining valuable expertise in various aspects of pet care. I have worked with small, medium, and large dogs, as well as providing attentive care to cats. Additionally, I have extensive experience with special needs and senior pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being. Basic puppy training, de-escalation techniques, and administering oral medications are also among my areas of expertise.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and I currently have a dog back in Costa Rica who has a special condition and uses a wheelchair. Caring for him has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve learned to adapt to his unique needs and rhythm, provide extra support when necessary, and ensure he feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. This experience has taught me patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of how every pet has their own personality and pace. From energetic pups to those with special needs, I know how to adjust activities, offer affection, and create a stress-free, happy environment. My goal is always to make each dog feel valued, cared for, and truly at home while in my care. Hi! I’m available throughout the week, depending on the service you need. I usually offer dog walks from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and I’m flexible to adjust to your schedule whenever possible. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Feel free to message me so we can discuss details and find a plan that works for both of us. 🐾 I live in an apartment, with a small space, however the complex has a dog park and a large green area. It is a calm and quiet place
About: I’ve taken care of my friends pets for a few years, this includes cats and dogs. Anytime they were going out of town or were not going to be home until late I would feed, walk, and play with their pets. I have a full-time job, but I have a lot of flexibility in planning my schedule. I will be able to check in on them frequently, including during the day and at night. I will keep a close eye on your pets to make sure they are safe. I’ll also pay close attention and follow the notes that their owners give me to ensure their pet is given the best care possible. In addition, I will keep in contact with pet owners and send them pictures of their animals while they are away!

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

How I Care for Pets in Your Home – With Safety, Trust, and Comfort at the Heart of It All When I care for your pets, whether I’m house sitting, walking them, or simply dropping in, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, personality, and needs — and I take the time to learn and follow your instructions closely to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and familiar. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship, always with an eye on their behavior and well-being. For drop-ins and walks, I show up reliably and treat your pet like my own — keeping them on safe routes, away from hazards, and paying close attention to their body language and comfort. I always prioritize secure leash handling, water breaks, and positive reinforcement. Your trust means everything to me, and I care for your pets and home with professionalism, love, and integrity.
About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve had and cared for animals for most of my life. About ten years ago I fostered for 8 years, I’ve fostered both healthy and sick cats and dogs. During that time, I provided love, comfort, and the special attention each animal needed to thrive. For the last two years, I’ve also been caring for other people’s pets, treating each one as if they were my own. My clients consistently give me great reviews, noting my reliability, compassion, and deep understanding of animal behavior. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and ensuring their safety, happiness, and well-being is something I take great pride in. I have a flexable private practice and love to take walks and cuddle with the animals. Care for pets fit in well. I love traveling to peoples homes mostly in the work I do. I care for pets by following their established routines and providing a safe, calm, and attentive environment. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, pet-proofed space with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and enrichment. I follow all feeding instructions carefully, administer medication if needed, and ensure pets get appropriate playtime, rest, and affection. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s normal schedule to minimize stress. This includes feeding, walks or litter care, playtime, medication, and companionship. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, and provide regular updates with photos so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. Across all services, I prioritize safety, positive reinforcement, cleanliness, and clear communication with pet owners.

“Our dog was a rescue and can be timid and nervous around new people and in new places. We have used Maria's services three times and each time our dog is more and more comfortable at her home. It is clear that Maria and her family love dogs and don't mind about some of our dog's quirks! Maria has been flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and accommodated us when we needed to switch up our plans. We will definitely be using her again! ”

Thank you for treating our pet like family — we highly recommend your dog care service to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate!”
