“Tyler was great! It was our first time hiring a sitter for our girls and using Rover. Tyler was excellent with communication, and even came to our home twice before our first trip to confirm all of the instructions. Everyday he showed up when he was supposed to and gave a detailed report of how each visit went. He was extremely careful when entering and leaving our home as he was made aware that one of our cats was an escape artist. We were very comfortable having Tyler in our home taking care of our cats and he did a great job! We look forward to our next trip and hiring Tyler to come back. In the past, we've packed up our girls and stress them out to have a family member watch them in their space. Tyler allowed us to keep our girls in their own home with familiarity and in keeping with their same feeding schedule. Our girls were calm when we returned home and didn't skip a beat. I highly recommend Tyler's services!”
“Shannon V. is awesome & I would highly recommend her for cat sitting! Thanks again Shannon - knowing you were taking care of my kitty , Maggie, made being away on vacation so much easier!”
“Shannon was delightful to work with! She made us feel so confident and at ease that our 3 older felines and 1 foster mama and her 2 kittens were all loved on and thoughtfully looked after. Ours can be a tough crew to look after some times but Shannon handled all with ease, even administering meds twice daily to 2 of them. We looked forward to her daily, playful updates and pictures! She went above and beyond cleaning up and maintaining order in our home. Shannon is definitely a “keeper”!! We will recommend her to friends and will most certainly re-book when we travel again!”
“Susan did an excellent job taking care of my cat and home while I was away for two weeks! She and my cat were fast friends and I returned to a clean home. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Kyle did a wonderful job visiting, feeding and caring for our newly adopted trio of kitties while away for a long weekend. We’d highly recommend her, and are glad to know we can leave our fur babies in such capable hands.”
“Patricia was amazing! Super easy and flexible to work with, from a met and greet ahead of time to daily photos and communications, I could tell my ‘fleet of felines’ were in good hands. She was professional, kind, and attentive - I honestly could not have asked for more. Simply outstanding!”

Please be sure to book as early as possible so I can accommodate as many requests as I can. Thank you!! I have very flexible availability and just know that your dogs are in great hands! I’ve had dogs in the past and I’m so excited to be around them and love them again! if your dog loves to exercise, I’ll have no problem running with them. If a senior dog or puppy needs specific care, I’m willing to do whatever is necessary to provide tons of affection and specialized care. As owners, I know that everyone has a different routine and I want to give your dog the same level of love and care. I have very flexible availability for walks and sitting. I have no issues not only caring for your pets but doing small chores/errands while you are away. I am super excited to meet you and your babies! I have an remote, asynchronous and flexible job. Meetings are infrequent and are typically no longer than 1-1.5 hrs. I can guarantee I can accommodate your pet’s entire routine schedule from walks, playtime, feeding, etc. Please feel free to ask any questions about this when we do our meet and greet—I am more than happy to provide additional details about how I make everything work!

“Grace went above and beyond - The lock number had been changed for our front door, and she stayed hours to make sure she got in to take care of our pups! She was cool calm and collected when faced with an emergency, would 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking for care.”
About: I am certified in pet first aid and CPR (dogs and cats). I am experienced in administering oral medicine. I also understand how complicated medication and health issues are in pets, and I take it very seriously. I will make sure you feel happy and comfortable that your pet is in my home by going through all of the details before your pets stay and updating you with pictures and videos! Our own cats are blocked off by door at the top of stairs (they'll stay on the second floor). I make sure our home is a calm environment filled with toys, playtime, cuddles, and mentally stimulating activities. My goal is to do what's best for the individual cat and make them feel both safe and loved! There is a private room that will be changed to fit the cat's needs. The set up will include activities, their own items, and washable mats on the floor that will be washed/disinfected before use. ****To ensure the safety of all pets in the household, I need to see the most recent Vet paperwork showing your pet is up to date on vaccines and does not have a contractable health issue. ****Your pet MUST NOT be aggressive. Your dog MUST be fully potty trained.
“Doreen was great! She is so nice and took great care of my kitty. You can tell on meeting her she truly loves animals. She checked in each day on how he was doing and made sure to get over there even when bad weather was incoming. I will use her again for pet care!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hebron
“Stephen was awesome, kept Gracei happy and safe during her visits while I had to work. I felt very comfortable leaving her there for my first Rover experience and first puppy ever. He kept me updated throughout the day and is very flexible with time. Thank you and can’t wait to book with Stephen again!”
“My girls absolutely love going to Rebecca’s! And I love that they get it all with her. I got to see them enjoying their day while I was at work, then they were too tired to try to jump on me when I walked through the door. Perfection again!”
“Janelle is amazing, i got stuck without my dog care for me dog John late on a Sunday evening, I sent Janelle a request upon learning of my dilemma. Janelle responded and i was able to deliver John the next morning. My John loves Janelle and her family and looks forward to his stay with her. Janelle service is awesome and is the only person that I trust John with. Janelle is the best!”
“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.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 12. I love every animal for their unique personality and quirks. I have had several clients over the past 10 years that came to me by word of mouth. I have had dogs from puppies to seniors. I do have a full time job but I work remotely most days. I am flexible so I can be there when they need me. All I need is WiFi. If I watch them in my home, we will meet ahead so I can assess how your dog will do with my dogs and cats. I have a fully fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood. If I watch them in your home I come by for a meet and greet.
“This was my German shepherd, Evie's, first daycare with Laura. Evie was a bit anxious at first but Laura got her to a calm state quickly and Evie enjoyed playing with her pug, Winston. Laura kept me updated and sent several pictures. Good experience overall and will be back”
“Ricky was great and seemed to really care for Leela - we had never met and yet I felt comfortable leaving her with him while I attended a memorial service. Leela seemed happy when I picker her up.”
About: Hi everyone! I am an animal fanatic (dogs>people) with an energetic and outgoing personality. I strive to provide the best possible care and have no problem with special requests or schedules! I'll run, walk, play, throw to your dogs content and my own. I've been caring for animals big and small since I was a wee kiddo, have vet experience inherited from my dad who owns his own practice, and overall a soft spot for all things furry. I have a cattle dog mix pupper who is a social butterfly and a bengal that acts more like a dog than a cat. He gets along GREAT with all animals he's been introduced to, just check out the photos! Put yourself at ease knowing that your pooch will be properly attended to at your own convenience! I am currently working part time as a nanny and am looking to expand my passion for animals into a full time career. I previously ran a small dog walking business in Boston and am hoping to do the same here in my home state of CT! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to play with! If your dog is not friendly with others I do have a separate space for my pups if needed.
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.
“Christle listened to my concerns and was very reassuring. She gave me the confidence to leave my pup with her and took great care of him. She provided me updates and pics which reassured me. I will use her again.”
“Very friendly, caring, and knowledgeable of pets. Gave a report at time of pick up of how he did, any problems that arose, and suggestion they could help if need be. My pup is hyper so her fenced in yard was perfect. He was happy and relaxed at pick up. Would I use her again? Absolutely, yes. He felt safe with her and that is what we want when leaving out pets!”
“Renata is so wonderful! She is quick with communication, super sweet, and takes such great pictures during the day. Gracie is so so happy after spending the day with her and Forest. She treats my pup like her own!”
“Blue had a wonderful time playing in Betsabeth’s amazing backyard. She truly took care of him as if he were her own, and it was such a comfort to find someone I can trust with my boy for overnight stays. I couldn’t be happier with the experience.”
“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.”

“Tyler is wonderful. My pup is usually shy around males due to her past but she absolutely adores him. As soon as she sees his car in the driveway she gets so excited. He's great with her.”
“Autumn has been great. She always leaves such fun photos, comments, and videos. My dog truly seems to enjoy her company and gets some quality time out while I am away. Thank you for all the care, Autumn.”
“Nina was so great, we rebooked her for the whole week! She was able to handle my big and small boy on a great schedule and made all of us feel very comfortable so I highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently help care for a high-energy Border Collie/Sheltie mix and three cats. I have experience caring for senior and special-needs pets, including administering transdermal and liquid medications and helping manage ongoing medical care for a cat with hyperthyroidism. I also helped care for a dog with hypothyroidism, pancreatitis, and liver disease, giving me experience following specialized care routines and monitoring pets with chronic health conditions. I’m comfortable reading cat and dog body language, handling multi-pet households, and caring for cats who are skilled escape artists. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I work part-time Tuesday through Thursday from 3–6 PM and Saturdays from 8 AM–3 PM. Outside of those hours, I have flexible availability for drop-in visits and house sitting and can provide feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and medication administration as needed. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to cat and dog body language, take extra care with pets who may try to escape, and make sure doors, gates, and other safety measures are always secure. I’m also comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets and administering medications according to owner instructions.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. Even through college and grad school, I had roommates with pets. Now I’m living in a rental that doesn’t allow animals, so I’m hoping to find some local pets to care for and spend time with! I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages and activity levels since I was young, and I enjoy taking dogs for walks any time of year! I’m a middle school teacher, so I have a pretty consistent schedule from August-June. Most days I’m able to leave work by 3, so I have all afternoon and evening to care for pets. In the summer and on breaks, I have a lot more flexibility with my schedule. I do have a small fenced in yard in case I had a client’s pet in my home, though I’d more than likely care for the pets in the client’s home. I have experience feeding, bathing, crating, giving meds, walking, and snuggling dogs of all ages and activity levels, as well as feeding and giving meds to cats.
