“Britanny did a fabulous job with Rosie! She was very responsive and kind. Her home was very welcoming and Rosie obviously loved it there. This was really a great situation for us and Rosie!!”
“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!”
“Ariel was great. Her home offered everything we were looking for. Place to play or lay around, and where she could lay wherever she was comfortable. Communication was easy and Ariel sent photos regularly so I could see how my girl was doing.Overall a very pleasant experience.”
“My Golden had a great stay with Connie and family. She sent photos, gave updates, and we met before at a dog park to make sure our dogs got along. He was well cared for, and even sent him home with a goodie bad with some treats. They are much more like professional caretakers and couldn’t recommend enough.”
“Cassandra & Nolan took excellent care of my Rosie girl while I was on a day trip to NYC. Frequent walks, cuddles, playtime, and plenty of photo updates. She enjoyed taking part in their holiday celebration! I will definitely book them again next time I'm in CT.”
“Carolina and her family opened their home to Godfrey for 5 nights. This was Godfrey's first time being away from me and he was in the best of hands. Carolina stuck to his routine and gave me plenty of updates. Godfrey is a very special dog and his personality was able to shine through with Carolina! I am so happy with the experience and would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Serenity offered to meet our pups prior to their stay with her. She sent regular updates to let me know how they were doing. When we picked them up they seemed at ease. I will definitely reach out to her again when needed.”
“Jill and her husband Doug were great hosts for our young, active Border Collie. They went out of their way to meet our needs. I had mentioned that Louie liked to chase a Frisbee, and when we arrived Jill had added one to her big bucket of dog toys. I was happy about the big play yard, but while we were away I received some pictures from Jill of Louie and his pals running at the beach. What a great place to leave my pet!”
“Stephanie takes excellent care of our dog while we are away. Prior to him staying with her, she met him twice to get to know him and see if he would be a good fit with her dogs. She keeps in regular contact while we are gone and sends lots of photos! Our dog seems very happy with Stephanie and gets lots of walks! Definitely recommend Stephanie!”
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We booked Mariana same day and were nervous due to it being our puppies first time with someone new. She far exceeded what we expected. She gave us updates on the hour, photos, videos and even cooked chicken for our very picky puppy. She made our dog feel a part of her family!”
“We love Julius and so does our pup! We've used his family so many times and each time has been easy and no problems at all. It's so nice having peace of mind that our pup is loved and well cared for.”
“Maria took good care of our Denver so well. She kept us updated with pics and little notes. It’s our first time using Rover and we’re happy to have Maria as our first sitter. Thank you!”
“So happy- we received lots of pictures of our girl while we were away. Thomas & Erica are very attentive & quick to respond. We can’t wait to use them again! Georgann”
“Our son was getting married in upstate NY so we needed a sitter for our dog Kai while we were away. We have always left Kai with either family or friends, but since everyone we knew was attending the wedding I reached out to Laura. We set up a meet and greet -I knew from the first time I met her that she was a perfect match. She was warm and kind - obviously a dog lover - and she made a connection with our normally shy dog right away. She asked a lot of questions about Kai's habits - she wanted to make sure she followed his normal daily routine so that he would be comfortable in her home.. Her house is beautiful and she has a large, fenced in back yard that allowed Kai to run free in a safe environment. Laura took him for a 3 mile daily walk, and sent many pictures and updates the whole 6 days she had him. He became a part of her family❤️ I cannot say enough about how happy we were to have found her. She gave us peace of mind that Kai was well loved and cared for so we were able to enjoy the wedding without any worries. I would HIGHLY recommend Laura to anyone looking for a sitter!!”
“I was extremely late to book and Mark and family made it a very comfortable process. Communication was A++ and it truly couldn’t have gone any better. We plan to be repeat customers !”
“Mikayla and Justin took great care of Rigatoni— were easy to communicate with, provided check-ins, and genuinely cared about her well-being. So grateful!”
“Sherry provided wonderful care for Denver and Bronco while we were away for 11 days. She spoiled them so much and allowed our family to truly relax and enjoy our vacation.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Teresa and Karina! They kept us updated throughout his stay by sending pictures and videos, which we truly appreciated. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for while we were away. When we picked Jax up, it was obvious he had an amazing time. He kept going back to them for hugs and affection, which spoke volumes about how comfortable and loved he felt in their care. We will definitely be using their services again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitters!”

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was a kid, having grown up with two dogs and being part of their care from puppyhood through old age. I've looked after both dogs and cats for neighbors and families to whom I've provided childcare, and for the past year, I’ve regularly walked dogs housed at a county animal shelter. This has been such a rewarding activity and has increased my comfort in interacting with animals with a variety of temperaments. I'm an active person, so I’d love to get outdoors and moving as long as your pup is up for it! If necessary, I can bathe your pet and administer oral medications; if instructed may also be comfortable with injectables. I’m so excited to meet a new furry friend! I’m beginning medical school in the fall and am looking to establish some house/pet sitting relationships while my schedule is super flexible this summer! I love taking long walks and would love company from your pup, but I’m also happy to stop by and hang out with your pet in your home if that’s preferred. I’m available to stay overnight in your home if you’re traveling and need longer term help, too. I will be pet sitting in your home and want to fit into your pet's daily life as seamlessly as possible, so I'm happy to do whatever makes them happy! I'm an active person so whether your pet is high or low energy, I can cater to their needs.
“Ly-Linh is a kind, compassionate pet sister. She asked all the right questions during our first meet, having to care for my senior sheltie. My pups were comfortable right away with her patient, calm demeanor.”
About: Past cat owners. Experience in administering meds and some medical care. Responsible and dependable. Let us know what your cat needs to be happy and healthy.
“Katherine was great with our kitties! They both love her and she instantly made our shy baby cat feel comfortable (she even got some cuddles with her!!) She’s easy to communicate with, responsive, and respectful of our space. Thank you Katherine!”
About: Although I haven’t owned a cat myself, I have plenty of experience caring for animals and understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and reliable. I have cared for dogs for many years, both my own and those of friends and neighbors, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, and making sure pets feel safe and well cared for. I’m eager to provide the same level of care and attention to cats, whether that means feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, playing with them, or simply giving them companionship while you’re away. I’ll always treat your cat with the same care and respect I would give my own pet.
“Melissa did a wonderful job with the drop-in visits for our cat. She was very thorough, provided good communication, and left everything spotless and in perfect order for our return. And she spent enough time here that our very shy cat was eventually willing to come out and be seen (from a distance). We will definitely rebook her for our future trips.”
“Victoria is a delightful person and amazing animal whisperer. My cat went straight to V from the first visit, where as with most people and previous sitters he will ovoid and hide even people who have been to the house many times. On one occasion Victoria had to go the emergency room with her child and I could not believe that after being there for hours - she and her family came to our home around midnight to feed and play with our cat. If that’s not a strong recommendation I don’t know what is. Thanks Victoria for everything. We really value and appreciate you.”
“Julianne was phenomenal! She was fast to respond and very accommodating. I reached out a day before and she was able to come meet my kitten the next day! I was impressed with her response times and she was very professional. She was prompt, sent photos, and Maverick loved her! I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats of all personalities and medical needs, including shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs cats. My own two cats have multiple chronic health conditions, giving me firsthand experience with daily medications, close monitoring, behavior changes, and the importance of consistent, compassionate care. Through my veterinary background, I am comfortable recognizing signs of illness early and helping cats feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own environment. I am also a Fear Free Certified professional.
“Super easy to work with and great communication. Flexible and worked with us based on some last minute changes. Definitely a recommended pet watcher and look forward to using Allison in the future.”

“This was my first time using Rover.com. I had picked up my German shepherd, Evie, from a shelter in North Carolina last November. Based on her recorded condition when brought in as a stray 5 weeks before she had been through a rough period. She has fully recovered now and is in good health. My wife and I wanted to find someone to board her with where she would be happy when we're away. We identified a few possibilities at the Rover website and following a positive meet and greet with Nadjeska last week, had Evie spend the day with her yesterday. It went very well. Nadjeska sent us several texts with photos during the day updating us on Evie's stay. We were looking for a home where Evie could spend time with and play with other dogs and Evie made a new friend, Sparkles, Najeska's little dog. Nadjeska has a fenced yard which provides a safe place for them to run around in the fresh air. Evie seemed to enjoy the day, Nadjeska obviously loves dogs, and we will be repeat clients in the near future.”

“Sarah and Steve took such great care of our puppy! We are so happy that she was in such good hands while we were at work. Sarah is super friendly and nice to work with. She sent updates, photos, and videos, which put us at ease throughout the day. Our pup was excited to see Sarah, and came home very tired at the end of the day. We would highly recommend Sarah and Steve!”
“Truc watched our Russell terrier Ozzie for the day when we were in the area on vacation. Ozzie left happy and tired, and had a great time with her lab Calvin. Truc was very responsive and easy to communicate with, took special care to ensure Ozzie adjusted well, and even took him on a special adventure in town. Would highly recommend. Thank you Truc!”
“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”

“My puppy had a great time with Mary Jo and her family. She was amazing and accepted our last minute booking to save the day! She kept me posted on how he was doing too which was so nice.

“Kristen was great with our 3 month old puppy. She was flexible, sent us plenty of pictures, and responded quickly. It was a serene getaway for him and he looked very comfortable in her home. She took him on walks and he walked really well with her. On the second day drop off Kameron was wagging his tail as we walked inside and went straight for a prized green toy he loved. The pictures she sent were beautiful and she was very easy to talk to. I highly recommend her would absolutely use her again.”
“Mary-Ellen took care of our blind Shih Tzu, "Peanut" for the day in her home this past weekend and was just AMAZING with her! She was so interested to find out all the little details ahead of time to ensure that they had a fun and comfortable day. Because of Peanut's special needs, my boyfriend and I are very nervous about leaving her with sitters, but after meeting Mary-Ellen, we felt sure that she would be in the best of hands. Mary-Ellen sent updates throughout the day along with several photos so I could see what fun they were having. Mary Ellen's home is adorable and sparkling clean, and as an added bonus, her daughter and Peanut really hit it off and had a wonderful time together. We would highly recommend Mary Ellen to others and will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Jenna was great with our anxious and jumpy pup. She took him on walks, spent good time outdoors, sent regular updates, and had a great, calming demeanor with him. She was very flexible even when we came to her last minute. Definitely recommend!”
“My fur baby requires a great deal of attention due to some health challenges. This makes me very careful about who cares for him. I am so Blessed to have Liza taking care of my lil guy. I would highly recommend her to people that need puppy ? care”
“We took Frances to daycare as a first step before considering boarding. From the very beginning, Raeven was very kind and welcoming. It was our first time using this service, and it couldn’t have gone better. Now we feel at ease knowing that our pup will stay in a place we trust.”
“Mariana was wonderful! My dog has a lot of energy and can be anxious, but she took the time to make sure she was ok. She sent lots of videos, photos, and updates, which I really appreciated! We'll definitely use her again!”
About: I have a close connection with a well-respected, professional dog trainer. I can usually get helpful tips and techniques on short notice, which I have used to successfully train puppies on basic commands (sit, stay, etc). I have 1 cat (2yrs old) who is neutered, indoor, and very shy. I work from home so I spend a lot of time caring for my pet which includes 3 mealtimes, plus play/enrichment time, and relaxing downtime each day. For dog care, I have a small fenced in yard and live in a nice area, so dog walks and outdoor potty breaks are very convenient at most times of day.
“Erica, Thomas and the kids were great with Lenny. When I went to pick him up, he looked happy and was definitely tired from a full day of fun. Erica was very flexible with drop off time, I had to drop Lenny off really early to leave for work, and I also had to book his stay last minute, and they were able to accommodate it. I received photos and updates from Lenny all day during his stay. Lenny will definitely stay with Erica and her family again.”
“Maria did exceptional with my baby Snoopy! I was really scared since he suffers from extreme anxiety (He’s a rescue dog). He did great with Maria. She kept me informed and would send me pictures. She was very caring, gentle and comforting. Snoopy did very well with transition. I will definitely rebook with Maria.”

I work fully remotely so if you need someone to stay in the home with them I am extremely flexible and able to tend to them. I fostered my love for dogs when my mom brought home a beagle when I was 9 years old. I became fascinated and learned a lot about them. They need activity and they also need rest. They need a lot of attention but they reciprocate with fierce loyalty and unwavering love. I would love to help a family continue to give their dog the attention it deserves so they can also live their lives! I am a new college graduate looking for a full time remote position. The job market is competitive and I expect to be unemployed for at least a couple months. I have full time availability and will always have weekends. Let me help full time workers right now while I am figuring out life! My anxious dog requires a lot of attention and ensuring comfort.

This flexibility means I can be the reliable presence your pet knows to expect.
“Raeven is soooo good with my fur baby Rocky. She has a calmness with Rocky and also gives great tips and advice to make my dog’s walking experience even better. I’m so grateful for her.”
About: I've taken care of many dogs and have had my owns dogs and cats. I have great patience with animals and have trained several dogs. I have a 9-5 job but am free most of the other times. If you are near Essex I can leave work and take dogs out midday as well. I love playing with cats and dogs and keeping them entertained as well as exercised. I can walk your dog for miles if that is what they like.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life typically at least 2 dogs and 2 cats at one time. I am a natural animal lover and caretaker. I trained corgis for almost 10 years. I now have two cats and a dog of my own. I usually pet sit for friends or for my parents who have 3 dogs, 3 cats including a senior dog. I've established my own clients weekly and on an as needed basis. I am open to all types of pets and needs. I work from home so I am pretty flexible during the week with my days. I will always take my work schedule into account before accepting anything. If in need of dog boarding, your dog would have to listen well to be in our unfenced yard (i would leash or put them on the long line) and they would have to be ok with cats. If I were to go to your home, I understand this is a super personal space and a bit nerve wracking having someone there, trust me I feel the same when I have someone take care of my pets! I will treat your space with respect and make sure to follow your instructions.
About: I have taken care of a huge variety of animals in my career and I am very good with animals. For a very long time my friends have relied on me to provide the best care for their beloved pets. I am currently working part time and would like to make the pet care service my full time career! I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet and I will do my best to provide the best care possible! Working with large animals my whole career I am extremely diligent about safety for all animals. I will put your pet's safety as a first priority.
About: I've got a Labrador retriever that wants to be everybody's friend and kids that love pets. I typically work-from-home throughout the week. I enjoy being active, so doggie time outside (walking in our neighborhood, hiking our local trails, or playing fetch outside) is right up my alley! Our cat passed away in 2024, but I'm keeping him on my profile so he will live on! :) I typically work from home and start a pet care routine for our pets in the morning and throughout the day. We're in a friendly neighborhood with many dog owners and a safe place for walking dogs. There are also some trails within driving distance. Our dog gets play time outside either by playing fetch or with a walk, and of course lots of love from the kids. I have a long lead that allows dogs to play in the front/back yard safely. Any dog's time outside is supervised to make sure they are not eating anything they shouldn't and getting the play time they need. A crate in the home is available.

“Britanny did a fabulous job with Rosie! She was very responsive and kind. Her home was very welcoming and Rosie obviously loved it there. This was really a great situation for us and Rosie!!”
“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!”
“Ariel was great. Her home offered everything we were looking for. Place to play or lay around, and where she could lay wherever she was comfortable. Communication was easy and Ariel sent photos regularly so I could see how my girl was doing.Overall a very pleasant experience.”
“My Golden had a great stay with Connie and family. She sent photos, gave updates, and we met before at a dog park to make sure our dogs got along. He was well cared for, and even sent him home with a goodie bad with some treats. They are much more like professional caretakers and couldn’t recommend enough.”
“Cassandra & Nolan took excellent care of my Rosie girl while I was on a day trip to NYC. Frequent walks, cuddles, playtime, and plenty of photo updates. She enjoyed taking part in their holiday celebration! I will definitely book them again next time I'm in CT.”
“Carolina and her family opened their home to Godfrey for 5 nights. This was Godfrey's first time being away from me and he was in the best of hands. Carolina stuck to his routine and gave me plenty of updates. Godfrey is a very special dog and his personality was able to shine through with Carolina! I am so happy with the experience and would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Jill and her husband Doug were great hosts for our young, active Border Collie. They went out of their way to meet our needs. I had mentioned that Louie liked to chase a Frisbee, and when we arrived Jill had added one to her big bucket of dog toys. I was happy about the big play yard, but while we were away I received some pictures from Jill of Louie and his pals running at the beach. What a great place to leave my pet!”
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We booked Mariana same day and were nervous due to it being our puppies first time with someone new. She far exceeded what we expected. She gave us updates on the hour, photos, videos and even cooked chicken for our very picky puppy. She made our dog feel a part of her family!”
“We love Julius and so does our pup! We've used his family so many times and each time has been easy and no problems at all. It's so nice having peace of mind that our pup is loved and well cared for.”
“So happy- we received lots of pictures of our girl while we were away. Thomas & Erica are very attentive & quick to respond. We can’t wait to use them again! Georgann”
“I was extremely late to book and Mark and family made it a very comfortable process. Communication was A++ and it truly couldn’t have gone any better. We plan to be repeat customers !”
“Mikayla and Justin took great care of Rigatoni— were easy to communicate with, provided check-ins, and genuinely cared about her well-being. So grateful!”
“Sherry provided wonderful care for Denver and Bronco while we were away for 11 days. She spoiled them so much and allowed our family to truly relax and enjoy our vacation.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Teresa and Karina! They kept us updated throughout his stay by sending pictures and videos, which we truly appreciated. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for while we were away. When we picked Jax up, it was obvious he had an amazing time. He kept going back to them for hugs and affection, which spoke volumes about how comfortable and loved he felt in their care. We will definitely be using their services again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitters!”
“My Teddy did great with Angel and Carolina. We received updates daily. Teddy is a senior dog so I was little nervous but they put me at ease with constant updates. I highly recommend Angel and Carolina to take of your pup. I'm grateful to have found them!”
“Davon was amazing. I outreached very impromptu and he was available for a meet and greet with Arya. ( which went well. We reviewed the basics of her care and he made sure to get a full understanding of what is needed to make Aryas stay as comfortable as possible) drop off was nice. He has spacious living accommodations. What stood out is his willingness to work with Arya being that she is a Bully. There are a many false conceptions about this breed. With his family background working with bully’s and pitbull, and his love for animals in general, I had no concerns that Arya was in good care. During her overnight visit, he provided checks up and sent pictures for reassurance. He also introduced Arya to family and friends ( which I love ) being that she is not around other dogs or people, helping her socialize. Picking Arya up was easy. All items returned and she was happy ! I previously boarded her , and when picking her up she was distant, had scratches and limped !!! All in all, 5 stars for Devon. I recommend and will use him again. 🐾💕”
