“Pam was great. She posted a lot of pictures to let us know Luna was having fun and communicated daily. You could tell she had a lot of experience with dogs and with petting sitting/boarding. We would definitely use Pam again for the next time we go out of town.”
“Saori has been so patient and caring with our Pomsky puppy. Since we work from home, I was concerned he wasn’t socializing enough and of course he has lots of energy. Daycare with Saori will be a big help in our journey together. We got really lucky finding her right from the start.”
“Jessica and Ian were terrific! We went away to a family wedding and I was so nervous leaving my 17 year old Bo. When interviewing them I told them about Bo being elderly with walking issues and other elderly ailments, and they assured me that they had no problem, loved elderly dogs, and would take great care of him. Well they were right!! He settled right in and looked so happy in the pics they sent. And he was fine and relaxed when we picked him up.”
“Rich is indeed a star sitter! Our Boston terrier,Rocky, had a wonderful time ( 10 days) in Rich’s place. Rich was diligent of sending daily reports depicting various activities involving Rocky and Rich friendly dogs, Toro and Peach. I have an impression that Rocky spent 10 days in boyscout summer camp. We highly recommend Rich. Leo”
“Our dog Odie is one lucky pup. It’s been awhile since he stayed at a sitter’s home and as an older dog, we were hoping that he’d be fine with this newer experience in care. He did so well under the genuine loving care that Kathryn provided. She kept us apprised of Odie’s status with photos and reports. Her home is a lovely dog-friendly place to be with a beautiful and large fenced-in yard. My husband and I are truly more than happy to recommend Kathryn’s wonderful caregiving, without hesitation. Thanks, Kathryn!!”
“We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Winnie had a great time with Rachel! Rachel is clearly very experienced with dogs, and I felt very comfortable leaving Winnie with her. She knew exactly how to give Winnie the time she needed to sniff around and feel comfortable in Rachel's environment. It was clear that Rachel gave Winnie a lot of one on one attention. She also took her on a walk at the park. Rachel took the time to debrief me on how Winnie's day went, and seemed to really understand Winnie's personality. Rachel's experience with caring for and training dogs gave me a ton of peace of mind in leaving my precious pup with her.”
“First thing- Meghan was great! Finn states with her fior 4 nights and I couldn’t have asked for more out of a sitter. She communicated well with us during his stay and is overall a very kind, responsible sitter. I will (and I’m sure Finn) be looking forward to booking with her in the future!”
“My experience with Dan on Rover exceeded all expectations and provided unparalleled peace of mind during our time away. From the moment I contacted Dan, their professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals were evident. First and foremost, communication was outstanding. Dan was prompt and responsive to all messages, providing updates and photos regularly, which greatly eased any worries we had about leaving Luna behind. Knowing that my pet was in caring hands and receiving the attention and affection they needed made my trip infinitely more enjoyable. Not only was the communication top-notch, it was evident that they took the time to understand Luna's needs and preferences, ensuring they felt comfortable and loved throughout their stay. Additionally, the environment provided by Dan was safe, clean, and welcoming, creating a home-away-from-home for Luna. I appreciated the accommodations made to accommodate my pet's routine and preferences, further demonstrating Dan's dedication to providing the best possible experience. We will undoubtedly be entrusting them with Luna's care while we are away in the future. Thanks Dan!”
“Kyle was very professional. We had a meet and greet at a local dog park and he answered all my questions. We received texts and pictures while we were away. Our Bernese Mountain dog was treated like family and came home exhausted. Would definitely use Kyle again!”
“Yahaira did a wonderful job with my dog Finn. I have used big boarding facilities in the past and felt like they were not doing the little things to make Finn happy. In the pictures Yahaira sent you can tell Finn was given a lot of attenrion and was super happy!!”
“We are so pleased with Isabel and her care and concern with our pup. She had great communication with us and sent daily pictures of all the fun our pup had while away. We will definitely be using Isabel for our next vacation!”
“Nicole is fantastic! We were nervous about boarding my dog at someone else’s house for the first time and she was reassuring, patient, and attentive to all of Jack’s needs. Great with medication administration and provided daily photos and updates on how Jack was doing. Certainly gave us peace of mind on our trip. We will definitely be using Nicole for our next trip and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Rachael is the best dogsitter ever! She always seems to have a house full of dogs (some her own, some sittees), and my dog has a wonderful time and even comes home a little more trained! I cannot recommend her enough -- she is warm and kind and clearly just loves dogs.”
“Catherine was wonderful with Josie, she attended to every one of her needs and treated her like the true diva that she is! She gave her her drops, her eye drops three times a day on schedule, sent me pictures and videos. I was hoping Josie would a still wanna come home with me and not stay with Catherine.!!!Sue w.”
“This is my second time having my fur baby with Sue. It was a much longer visit this time (a week) amd Sue remained her kind communicative self. Would recommend in a heartbeat. She goes above and beyond. Thank you! 💕”

“Hayley was an amazing cat sitter!! My shy, special needs kitty is certainly not an easy one to manage, but she handled everything like a pro! She kept us updated and made sure to send lots of photos. Highly recommend her for your sitter needs!”
“Tara was an amazing sitter! It was my first time using Rover and was naturally hesitant, but she made it a great experience. She sent many pictures, was very responsive, and really spent quality time with my pet during the visits. I would definitely recommend her and plan on reaching out to her in the future.”
“Isabelle is a special caregiver. We hired her. To help care for our 2 German Shepherds, one of which is recovering from brain surgery to remove a tumor. With that, her and her partner have provided amazing care and shown love , compassion and patience to our guy. I highly recommend her if you need someone to provide that extra level of support.”
“Allison was amazing!! We hired her to drop in and take care of our pet cat and she did such a great job. She set up a meet and greet to get to know our cat first, and I could tell by the questions that she was asking that she truly cares about animals. Even our skittish cat took to her right away. We felt such peace of mind knowing Allison would be caring for her while we were gone. 5 stars, would definitely book her again!!”
“Saori watched our two dogs in her house and paid home visits to our two cats. Unfortunately, a couple of days into the booking, our dogs started having diarrhea and the female was vomiting. We requested that Saori take them to our vet. Luckily, testing revealed nothing serious, Saori gave the dogs their meds, and they recuperated after fluids at the vet. They got to swim in her pool, went to the dog park, and other adventures. Saori also got the thankless task of cleaning up a mouse carcass that Vinny left, as well as some piles of vomit. Saori went above and beyond when caring for our pets. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her in the future.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat sitter Rachel provided! She did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in loving and capable hands. She kept us updated, was attentive to their needs, and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy. Because of her, we were able to truly enjoy our vacation without worry. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be reaching out again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I have personal experience in owning both male and female cats, who were both indoor and outdoor cats. I’ve also cared for pregnant female cats. I understand their body language and behavior very well, and know when they need their space. I raised my current cat, Olive from 6 weeks old and have experience in bottle feeding kittens.
“Tori was a great cat sitter! She went above and beyond with some of the craziness that comes with a multiple cat household. The cats were happy and definitely well cared for while we were away. Even better is that we got home and our house looked neater than it did when we left. We will use her again the next time we go away.”
“Sarah was so wonderful with Kimbo! She kept us updated the whole time and always made us feel reassured that he was in great hands. She was punctual, reliable, and genuinely caring. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. We really appreciated all the communication and attention she gave Kimbo. Highly recommend her! We would absolutely trust her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of family cats since the age of 5 and when I started living on my own with my previous partner we had three rescued cats together. One of these cats developed diabetes and needed daily insulin shots, and then eventually needed fluid IVs in which I had to learn to take care of since my ex wasn’t okay with the procedure. After our split (2012-2017), he took the cats, but in 2021 when my now-husband, we adopted a rescue cat with a shortened tail and have been dog and cat people ever since! Thankfully I have yet to need to use my medication administering skills on our cat, but we do a very good job at keeping him healthy and happy so it is less likely he will develop diabetes later in his life.
“This is the second time Lindsey has watched my kitties, and I was very confident that they would be taken care of. I asked if she would mind putting out 2 plates of bird food for the birds that I had left on the table, and she had no problem doing so. I was very appreciative of her for this. I will definitely ask her for drop in visits in the future. Thank you Lindsey!”
About: I have 6 years of experience caring for cats and have always had a genuine love for them. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take a gentle and patient approach with each one. I have experience with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, brushing if needed, basic cleanup, and providing calm companionship. I also know that some cats are social and playful, while others need space and time to feel comfortable. I’ve helped care for and rehabilitate cats so they could feel safe, loved, and ready for new homes. Since I work from home and go to school online, I have a flexible schedule and can give cats the quiet, attentive care they deserve.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life! My family and then myself have adopted and taken care of dogs and cats of all ages but more recently, I have adopted senior dogs and taken care of all their needs. I work at Western Connecticut with lots of flexibility in my schedule! I’m usually available to come and go during the day if needed and only live a few minutes from work. The complex I live in is very dog friendly! I had my dog with there until she passed. There are lots of designated dog walking areas, dog grooming and wash rooms.
“Carlie is FABULOUS! She had quality visits with my two dogs, and provided thorough, insightful honest feedback about how each was doing. One is an elder requiring heart meds. He showed some signs of stress on one of her visits which she described to a T. She had the good judgement to give him a pee and poo break but forego the walk with him. Next visit he was great. Based upon her feedback I felt completely confident that they were in the best possible hands. Carlie is a vet tech, and this added skill/ experience was obvious in how she handled things. She is a woman of kind and gentle temperament and great skill. I could not recommend her more highly. THANK YOU CARLIE!”
About: Hi! My name is Priya - I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a full house. Over the years I’ve lived with 7 dogs, 5 Siberian cats, 2 rabbits, and 8 birds. Cats are my everything! Over the past 15 years, I’ve cared for my own fur babies and have loved learning how to support their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I’m experienced with grooming and daily care, including brushing, bathing, dematting, nail trims, and all the little messes that come with being a cat parent. I also have experience with senior and special needs cats, including administering medications, eye drops, and insulin shots. I’m calm, observant, and patient, and I pay close attention to body language and behavior so cats feel safe and comfortable in my care. I look forward to meeting more furry friends!

“We've had a wonderful experience with Valerie; she is sweet and very attentive to us and our puppy. Her home is very welcoming to pets. She sends photos and videos throughout the day, and we see what a great time our Lily is having with her dog Henry. Looking forward to another stay.”
“Rachel was amazing with our deaf pup, Hazel! She was so communicative and made us feel comfortable. Hazel had a wonderful time at daycare! Would recommend Rachel to everyone!”
“Highly recommend! My baby was well taken care of! Tinaclem was super friendly. When we arrived she introduced her dog with mine and brought them both to the back yard so she can get familiar with the yard and was very welcoming! Many walks and lots of pics for updates! ❤️My baby was pooped for days! She already misses Elvis! Sweet dog she has!”
“Rachael was able to help us out with very little notice. She was so sweet with my 2 pups and they loved her. They are older and really just want someone to sit with them and give them hugs. My chihuahua is sometimes a little grouchy & nervous. Rachael put them right at ease and handled them well on walks. We hope we can have her back again soon!”
“Excellent sitter! My 4 month old puppy had a blast and Isabel was super about sending multiple pictures throughout the day. Awesome environment and home for a doggy day care. Definitely recommend.”
“Kara was great! She was super flexible and willing to watch Shadow with what I believed was a last minute request! I would definitely recommend to anyone if you’re looking for a sweet and personable dog sitter!”
“My dog, Luna, had a great day at Kyle’s. He’s got a great setup for pups to play inside and out, and he clearly understands dogs well and is able to give them great care. Luna is very nervous around new people, and Kyle was able to attend to her needs and made sure she was comfortable during her stay. Will definitely be back.”
“Laura & family were super responsive to messages, sent lots of photos and looked after our dog very well during her daycare session. Highly recommended!”
“Nicole is not only knowledgeable but you can feel how she loves taking care of animals! I appreciate so much the care she has provided and will using her again! Thank you 🙏🏻”
About: Hi! my name is Madison I am 20 years old and I love animals! In the past I have worked as a vet assistant so I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages! I’ve been doing Rover since May of 2024, it has brought me so much joy to be able to help out families in my community and of course having fun with dogs of all ages! I am currently working part-time as well as a part time student. I am able to fit pet care on any day of the week! I have 3 dogs, they will all be away in a separate area of the house if your fur baby was to be brought to me. I can give oral medication, play time, potty breaks, and walks!
“Seems like my boys adjusted well to a new environment and humans. My youngest fur baby can be very anxious at times and I have a very senior fur baby that needed extra TLC. I was glad to have someone that understand the specific needs of my babies. I am excited for their next visit!!!”
“Bruce was so great with our energetic husky, Khali. He really helped us out with a last minute sitter request. He spent the day with her and sent us several updates with pictures. He has a lot of property for her to explore and when we picked her up we could tell she’d had a good time. If we were local, we would definitely reach out to him again! Thank you, Bruce!”
“Gwynne is amazing! We just started using her a few weeks ago and every time my dog Lola goes to stay at Gwynne’s she is excited and has a great time. I definitely recommend Gwynne, she’s the only dog sitter we use ☺️”
“I dropped my dog off for a day of daycare. She got me in last minute and was great at communicating. My dog is usually nervous but seemed comfortable with Kayla. I look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Dew goes above and beyond for my puppy. Checks in regularly when he is in her care and even checks in when he is at home. As a first time user of a dog-sitter, I was anxious about leaving my puppy in someone else’s care. Dew almost immediately alleviated my concerns. I feel like her care has been a major benefit for me and for my puppy’s social development. Will continue to take advantage of Dew’s services for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!”

About: I’m reliable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve been around and caring for dogs for most of my life, including my own dog Max, who I got when I was 14 and truly consider my soul dog. He passed away in July 2025 from complications related to megaesophagus, but for a year and a half before that, I helped manage his condition after we were initially told he only had 30 days to live. That experience taught me so much about patience, consistency, and providing attentive, specialized care. Because of these experiences, I’m especially comfortable with dogs who may need extra patience, have medical needs, or experience anxiety. I work full-time during the week, but I’m always available for morning and evening visits, including feeding, walks, playtime, and general care. I’m off every other weekend, as well as some Mondays and Fridays, which gives me extra flexibility for longer visits or overnight stays. I’m also happy to accommodate overnight care when needed, so your pet can stick to their normal routine and feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and will make sure your pet gets consistent care and attention. In a client’s home, I aim to keep things as consistent as possible—following feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or picking up after pets, and making sure they get plenty of attention and care. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy while you’re away. For overnight stays, I help maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable in their environment.
“Lindsey is just an amazing person and so sweet with Benny. She's kind, loving, gentle and caring. Benny absolutely LOVES going on walks with her! He looks SO happy in the photos. What a blessing she is. So very grateful that we found Lindsey!!”
About: I’ve had a family dog for almost all of my life, I also used to work at a doggie daycare and currently work at a vet hospital. I’ve taken care of dogs for multiple friends!! I love dogs of all breeds and size, but I choose to watch one at a time so I can give all my attention to your fur baby! I work part time so I can watch dogs Sunday, Wednesday, or Saturday! I can do boarding for most dogs as long as they come with sleeping arrangements. I have a huge backyard with a gated pool and a pretty big front yard as well. When taking care of other dogs I have a super long rope I tie them up to so they can run freely because we don’t have any fences.
About: I volunteer in animal shelter constantly, I have taken care of dogs from friends and coworkers multiples times. I wanna be a vet one day!! I am currently out of school for summer so I got a lot free time that i would love to spend with cats and dogs I am really responsible and I have lovely cat that would love to have more fur friends, and I also have yard which they can play in it
About: I’ve helped care for eight family dogs throughout my life, so I’m very comfortable around different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and understand how important it is to keep pets safe and comfortable. I’m available on weekends with flexible hours, and I’m also available every weekday after 2 PM. This allows me to give your dog plenty of attention in the afternoons and evenings, whether that’s for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. I will always communicate clearly about scheduling When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I also give lots of attention and supervision so they feel safe while you’re away.
About: Hi! My name is Gianna, and I offer reliable, caring pet care services for both dogs and cats. My services may include dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, potty breaks, basic cleanup, companionship, and photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I am also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means specific feeding instructions, favorite toys, preferred walking routes, or extra cuddle time. I have about 6 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some pets need lots of activity and attention, while others need patience, gentleness, and time to warm up. I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I take that responsibility seriously. I currently work from home and also attend school online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend more quality time with pets. Because I am home often and not commuting to an office every day, I am able to provide attentive care, check-ins, and companionship throughout the day depending on your pet’s needs. I am doing pet care as a way to make school more manageable while also doing something I genuinely enjoy. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they are my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, a visit, playtime, feeding, or just someone kind and dependable to keep them company, I am happy to help. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind. I am currently working full-time remotely but am looking to supplement my time with animal care. I have always loved animals and it’s important to me. I take it very seriously, I want everyone to know that I will love your animal as much as mine. I will always make sure that it is a delicate process.
About: Hi! My name is Priya - I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a full house. Over the years I’ve lived with 7 dogs, 5 Siberian cats, 2 rabbits, and 8 birds. While I wasn’t always the primary caretaker as a kid, I grew up learning the essentials: feeding, cleaning, training, body language, and giving lots of love and attention. I also have experience with grooming (including bathing, brushing, nail trims), and with senior and special needs pets (including administering medications, eye drops, and insulin shots). I’m calm, observant, and patient, and I am intentional about everything I do. I treat every animal like they’re my own and would love to meet more furry friends! 💛 I am looking for part time positions and have flexible availability throughout the week! I would be more than happy to build a schedule that works with you! I value open and honest communication and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I follow all care instructions closely, respect routines and boundaries, and pay close attention to behavior and body language. If anything feels unclear or out of the ordinary, I’ll always reach out, and I’m happy to provide lots of pics and updates so you feel confident and at ease.
About: Over the past 10 years , I have gained extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behavior and needs. I am currently a para at preschool. Off for the next 2 weeks will be working summer program Monday -Thursday 8-1 am very flexible with any time I’m not working. I can crate dog if required but we do have outdoor leash with long distance. Normally we take dog to park to play or stay in the ac to play
About: I have cared for multiple dog, cat, and rabbit breeds. Friends and family have relied on me numerous times to care for their pets for extended periods of time (days-weeks), including walks, baths, feeding, grooming, and overall patience with their furry family member. I will stick to the same routine you have for your pet as to not further stress the animal. I offer drop-ins, and dog walks! 🐾Walks are usually between 30-60 minutes in your neighborhood. 🐈 Litter box will be cleaned and they’ll have good company, even if they don’t come out I’ll stay just to make sure they’re safe and not getting into trouble. Please let me know if your pet has any medical issues/ special diets. I am experienced with elderly pets and can administer topical treatments as well as oral/fluid medication. You will get updates while I am with your pet, expect pictures and notes. If anything out of the ordinary occurs you will be contacted immediately (if you’re not available please leave another emergency contact that lives close by) I am free most days of the week, and I am currently very flexible. ‼️‼️For house sitting I cannot sleep over but I can stay all day! I usually go to the client’s home to care for the pet as I live with my parents still. I make sure bowls are washed after every meal, treats are given, litter is clean and ensure the pet is comfortable (even in their own home because a new person may cause stress). I’m an early riser and a night owl so morning and night walks are easy (so is breakfast and dinner), and I love being outside.
About: I’m a serial long-term pet sitter, and have been pet sitting through Rover for several years! Our family- myself, my partner, Will, our 9 year old son & 5 year old daughter- are huge animal fans! I’ve owned dogs, cats, fish, and lizards myself. We currently have an outgoing, friendly, & vocal black cat named Calzone and a Tetra tank we affectionately call “The Kids”. I am the go-to pet sitter for several family members, friends, and neighbors. We have had pets stay with us for long term stays. So, long term & frequent stays are A-OK… your pet will be cared for like part of the family. I am comfortable caring for farm/hobby farm animals at your home as well. We moved to Bethel (Will & I grew up in the area) in 2024 from our home in Fairfield where we lived for almost 10 years & where I started with Rover! Our home is a single family farmhouse with a huge open yard, meadow, and ponds, abutting wooded trails and a short walk to Huntington Park. Our yard is not fenced, and although our street is relatively quiet, we always are with our visitor dogs when outside. Dogs with strong prey drive might not be a good fit for stays at our house, but could be a great fit for care in your home, walks, etc.
About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds from as early as I can remember. Being the oldest of my siblings I was the first to have to take on the pet care chores, and this included both our dogs and our cats, and the other types of animals we had in our household. I have pet care experience with dogs and cats, as well as other pets too. When I moved out on my own with my previous partner (2012-2017) we had adopted three rescued cats, and I was the main administer of the diabetic cat’s insulin and late IV fluid treatments. My ex kept our cats in the split, but in 2018 I adopted my first dog completely on my own. She’s a rescue pit bull mix and now, with my current husband, she is joined by another rescued pit bull mix and a rescued cat. Last year we also adopted a red ear slider turtle off the street in Philadelphia and he now enjoys his aquatic terrarium with his guppy and pleco friends. In 2023 I briefly worked for a dog walking company in Ridgefield and was bit by one of the client’s dogs, unprovoked, and because of that I left the service after being blamed for the outburst and attack (despite telling the owners and the employer that the dog was getting increasingly aggressive with me and I wasn’t comfortable walking him anymore). It was the only time I had ever had an animal turn on me like that and it made me rethink working for a service where I wasn’t listened to or given proper protection. My husband and I have been Rover clients since we moved to Connecticut in 2023 and I am very happy to say we have never had a negative experience, which is why I have decided to lend my services to other pets and families in the area that are in need of an experienced pet caretaker. I am a professional actor so I have days that are marked off for auditions and work or rehearsals, however it is not a consistent time or place. I work throughout the Northeast, NYC, and the Mid Atlantic currently with my acting opportunities, but I am also open to short term travel as well. Because of that, my availability is very open some weeks and not as much on others, depending on what projects I am currently involved in and what the scheduling is like. I would love to spend more time your pets in my downtime and give them the attention they require, since mine are pretty saturated in it regularly. I have two dogs, which are extremely friendly and love other dogs, people, and cats! Our cat is very aloof so they wouldn’t be seen much in cases where pet sitting at my home is needed. Our yard is not fenced in but I am very accustomed to taking them out for walks, or having them leashed under my supervision in our yard. Because I live in Newtown, there are plenty of places to get some quality walks in, and we are also not far from open public dog parks either if that suits your furry friend! I also have my own car which I am more than comfortable transporting your pet in or coming to you for check ins or walks. Our dogs are up to date on vaccines so that is not a worry either, and I am diligent in making sure everyone has a great time when their friends (and our human friends) are over too!
About: I have owned cats my entire life and have had my own beloved dog for 11 years. Working as a private instructor and teacher, I routinely enter clients' homes and have mastered the art of reading animal body language. I consider myself a bit of a dog and cat "whisperer"—I have zero fear or nervousness around animals, and pets quickly sense my calm, positive aura. I treat every animal I care for with the exact same love, respect, and high-quality attention that I give to my very own pets. As a teacher, my summer schedule opens up beautifully! While I will still be working with a few students, I schedule my lessons earlier in the day to ensure I have maximum flexibility for your pets. My weekends are 100% completely free and dedicated to pet care, and my late afternoons and evenings are entirely open as well. I am highly organized and communicative, so you will always know exactly when I am coming and going. Security, safety, and a calm environment are my top priorities. Because of my professional background as an in-home private instructor, I am deeply respectful of my clients' spaces, privacy, and household rules. I know how to keep a home secure, stick to strict feeding and medical routines, and handle any unexpected situations calmly. I excel at maintaining a stress-free environment so your pets feel completely relaxed, safe, and loved while you are away.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I could walk, so caring for animals has always felt second nature. I also volunteer as a dog walker, socializer, and trainer at Danbury Animal Welfare Society, where I work with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. My style is calm, patient, and attentive, whether your dog needs a real exercise walk, your cat needs a quiet check-in, or your older pet just needs someone gentle and consistent. I know trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big deal, so I take reliability seriously. I’ll show up when I say I will, pay attention to your pet’s routine, and send clear updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and cared for. I currently work full time, but my evenings and weekends are often free. I’m a good fit for weekend walks, evening check-ins, drop-in visits, and occasional pet care when your regular routine needs extra support. Because I value reliability, I only accept bookings I know I can show up for fully and on time. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language, comfort level, routines, and boundaries, and I never force interactions with people, dogs, or unfamiliar situations. For walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and adjust the pace to the dog’s age, energy, and temperament. I’m comfortable with shy, anxious, energetic, and older pets, and I believe patience and consistency go a long way. For drop-ins, I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, check food, water, litter, doors, and gates, and send clear updates so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I am a very active person i love being out side and going on runs or just simply going on walks. I wake up early everyday and usually go on runs and take my little puppy on walks. I live in a nice area close to town. I love all types of dogs and my schedule is very flexible being a realtor so i am always able to do walks at all times! would love to have overnight stay and would give extra love to all the dogs! I am a full time realtor so my schedule is made by me and can be very flexible. I can be pretty open with my hours. I have a fenced in yard and also own a duplex so I can house different dogs upstairs or separate if need be. I absolutely love dogs and cats so any pet will feel right at home with my care.

“Saori has been so patient and caring with our Pomsky puppy. Since we work from home, I was concerned he wasn’t socializing enough and of course he has lots of energy. Daycare with Saori will be a big help in our journey together. We got really lucky finding her right from the start.”
“Rich is indeed a star sitter! Our Boston terrier,Rocky, had a wonderful time ( 10 days) in Rich’s place. Rich was diligent of sending daily reports depicting various activities involving Rocky and Rich friendly dogs, Toro and Peach. I have an impression that Rocky spent 10 days in boyscout summer camp. We highly recommend Rich. Leo”
“Our dog Odie is one lucky pup. It’s been awhile since he stayed at a sitter’s home and as an older dog, we were hoping that he’d be fine with this newer experience in care. He did so well under the genuine loving care that Kathryn provided. She kept us apprised of Odie’s status with photos and reports. Her home is a lovely dog-friendly place to be with a beautiful and large fenced-in yard. My husband and I are truly more than happy to recommend Kathryn’s wonderful caregiving, without hesitation. Thanks, Kathryn!!”
“We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Winnie had a great time with Rachel! Rachel is clearly very experienced with dogs, and I felt very comfortable leaving Winnie with her. She knew exactly how to give Winnie the time she needed to sniff around and feel comfortable in Rachel's environment. It was clear that Rachel gave Winnie a lot of one on one attention. She also took her on a walk at the park. Rachel took the time to debrief me on how Winnie's day went, and seemed to really understand Winnie's personality. Rachel's experience with caring for and training dogs gave me a ton of peace of mind in leaving my precious pup with her.”
“First thing- Meghan was great! Finn states with her fior 4 nights and I couldn’t have asked for more out of a sitter. She communicated well with us during his stay and is overall a very kind, responsible sitter. I will (and I’m sure Finn) be looking forward to booking with her in the future!”
“My experience with Dan on Rover exceeded all expectations and provided unparalleled peace of mind during our time away. From the moment I contacted Dan, their professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals were evident. First and foremost, communication was outstanding. Dan was prompt and responsive to all messages, providing updates and photos regularly, which greatly eased any worries we had about leaving Luna behind. Knowing that my pet was in caring hands and receiving the attention and affection they needed made my trip infinitely more enjoyable. Not only was the communication top-notch, it was evident that they took the time to understand Luna's needs and preferences, ensuring they felt comfortable and loved throughout their stay. Additionally, the environment provided by Dan was safe, clean, and welcoming, creating a home-away-from-home for Luna. I appreciated the accommodations made to accommodate my pet's routine and preferences, further demonstrating Dan's dedication to providing the best possible experience. We will undoubtedly be entrusting them with Luna's care while we are away in the future. Thanks Dan!”
“Kyle was very professional. We had a meet and greet at a local dog park and he answered all my questions. We received texts and pictures while we were away. Our Bernese Mountain dog was treated like family and came home exhausted. Would definitely use Kyle again!”
“Nicole is fantastic! We were nervous about boarding my dog at someone else’s house for the first time and she was reassuring, patient, and attentive to all of Jack’s needs. Great with medication administration and provided daily photos and updates on how Jack was doing. Certainly gave us peace of mind on our trip. We will definitely be using Nicole for our next trip and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Rachael is the best dogsitter ever! She always seems to have a house full of dogs (some her own, some sittees), and my dog has a wonderful time and even comes home a little more trained! I cannot recommend her enough -- she is warm and kind and clearly just loves dogs.”
“This is my second time having my fur baby with Sue. It was a much longer visit this time (a week) amd Sue remained her kind communicative self. Would recommend in a heartbeat. She goes above and beyond. Thank you! 💕”
“Nadine and Daniel did an excellent job caring for our dog for 9 days. Daily updates with photos. Asked permission before making any changes to his daily routine. Deployed his bed, carrier and blanket around their home to give him a choice of comfort locations. Flexible as to time of pickup and drop-off. Could not have been happier with their service. And most important, our dog seemed comfortable while he was there. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and friendly place to leave their dog.”
“Bruce did a great job taking care of my dog Mello. I get really nervous leaving him and Bruce kept my mind at ease. He sent frequent updates and pictures which I really appreciated!! Highly recommend!”
“I can't say enough great things about our experiences with Jennifer. I've left my dog Peachy with her 3 times now, this last time being over a week. I got so many picture and video updates throughout and I could see how comfortable and happy my Peachy was. Jennifer and her daughter are so wonderful with her and I am very grateful to have found them. The peace of mind I have now while I'm away that my dog is well cared for is worth so much. Also, Jennifer was highly communicative and very flexible when my schedule needed to change last minute. I won't leave Peachy with anyone else now!!”
“Anthony was super responsive and flexible. He’s got a great set up, really knows how to care for dogs and make sure they’re socialized correctly, and you can tell he really cares about the dogs staying with him!”
“Devon took great care of both my doggies for a week. Daily updates with pictures really helped calm my nerves. Would highly recommend. He has a nice fenced yard for them to play so they were safe.”
