“Saori was great. Our one year old lab was in heaven at their place. We received a puppy that was well cared for and had gotten a lot of socialization and exercise is a safe environment.”
“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.”
“Poppy had a wonderful time with Jennifer. She is very caring and attentive. She sent me multiple pictures each day and kept me informed. This is my second time using Jennifer to care for Poppy, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you Jennifer.”
“Liliana and her husband are wonderful. They were very flexible with us when our plans changed and great at communicating. We got plenty of photos and updates while our dog stayed with them and she was a very happy girl when we picked her up. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Jessica was great! Willow seemed like she loved staying there, was well taken care of and met some new friends. Very responsive to any questions that we had. We would love to have Jessica watch her again. Overall this was great as this is our first time using Rover.”
“I felt great knowing my dog was in Yajaira’s hands when I was away on vacation. She was attentive to his needs and a great communicator. I would definitely book Yajaira’s services again in the future.”
“Our boxer, Daisy, stayed with Valerie while we vacationed for a week in Florida. Valerie and her family were great from the start, not only with Daisy but also entertaining my eight year old son when we arrived for an introductory visit. They had plenty of room for Daisy to run around and two playful but well behaved dogs of their own that accepted Daisy in. Valerie provided updates during the week to let us know how Daisy was adapting and getting along with everyone and how much her family loved having her. She was also extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times knowing our hectic travel schedule. The next time we go away for an extended period, Valerie is definitely my first contact attempt.”
“From the first contact, I loved James' response. He first asked about meeting Neo to see if he would be a good match for his family, which gave me peace. He kept in contact by sending us pics and updates during our time away. No regrets! 🙏🏻”
“Elizabeth is the absolute best with our dogs! Our older dog was having some GI issues and she went out of her way to cook for her and keep us updated. When we picked her up the issues were resolved and our dogs were so happy!!! The updates she gave daily were a great comfort and she was extremely responsive ☺️”
“Robin is always so wonderful with our dog, Adelaide. She does regular drop in visits with her so when we need boarding services, Robin is always our first choice! She shows our dog so much care, attention and love.”
“Mary Ann is quite simply the best. This was our third time booking her to care for our elderly dog, and she did not disappoint. She creates a thoughtful care plan to cover all possible needs, provides updates while we’re away, and makes sure our canine child is loved in our absence. What more could you ask for?! Will absolutely book her again [and again]!”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“Bruce was a amazing sitter. As this was my first time leaving my dog for a long period I was nervous but Bruce made sure to be attentive and sent me multiple photos during the trip and kept me updated throughout it all. I definitely feel comfortable leaving Rosco with Bruce again!”
“Erika is such a great pet sitter. She provided me with updates & photos throughout Luna’s stay, which put me at ease. She was very responsive & willing to meet with me for a meet & great. I would highly recommend her.”
“Claudia did a fabulous job sending us pictures and keeping us updated on our dog child! We had a hard time finding a sitter in VA over the holidays and ended up bringing him up to CT when we visited family for Christmas. We were confident leaving him with Claudia, and would board him with her again if we ever bring him back up to CT!”
“Well Ms Annette was WONDERFUL. Can't recommend highly enough. She obviously has an affection and ability with dogs, witnessed from the first second of our in person interactions in her driveway. It made me feel so relieved to have her take care of them, especially since she sent me updates and photos of them every day. She's fantastic and I'm looking for another trip in that vicinity so I can drop the two boys (mini dachshund, cockapoo) off for another visit to Ms Annette's house in Pawling!”
“Rich is great with communication and making sure our dogs are safe and having fun. He even prepared a special holiday meal over Christmas for all of them. So happy he was available to care for our two dogs.”
“Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!”
“Rachael was helpful, communicative, trustworthy and responsive - she made the process a breeze and took great care of our dog. Everyday I was sent photos of her running, playing, exploring and having fun. Pepper even came back with sharpened training — I will be booking again and again!”

We would not hesitate to hire her again when we are out of town. I highly recommend her as she really was awesome with our pets and even took the time to feed our fish as well. We are totally happy!”

About: I genuinely enjoy caring for cats of all ages from kittens to seniors. I have been a cat mom for almost 30 years now, learning from the diversity of cat experiences and personalities. I love their quirkiness and companionship. I would care for your cats as I care for my own, with kindness, respect, and common sense. I will read and follow instructions. I will not leave doors open. I will make sure they eat what they’re supposed to be eating and observe for any signs of distress. I will spend quality time with your kitties so they feel loved while you are away! I have a somewhat flexible schedule with remote work days. Weekends are flexible. In most cases, I would be able to make morning and evening cat care visits. I prefer to care for cats in their own home environment. However, we do have the option of several private, closed off areas in our home to host a cat traveler, if needed.
“This was our first experience… Caitlyn was patient with questions & gave prompt feedback. My cat trio enjoyed the first drop in visit this weekend. It will give me peace of mind to have someone reliable & caring if I do more traveling.”
“We're so glad we were able to book Kristy and Chris to do drop-ins for our cat while we were on vacation over the weekend. Kristy and Chris were extremely professional and took detailed notes on the instructions to care for Pemi. We really appreciate their courtesy and timeliness. Would highly recommend them to anyone else in the area!”
“She was awesome taking care of our cats! She’s very good at giving oral medication so I felt comfortable with her giving meds to our boy. Thank you so much!!”
“Anna did a fantastic job caring for my cat for two weeks while I was away. He is slow to warm up, but she was patient, professional, and clearly knew how to make him feel safe and comfortable. By the end of the stay he was totally at ease with her. Super attentive, kind, and reliable! I’d absolutely trust Anna again to take care of my cat!”

She’s very communicative. I will definitely ask her back again. She was timely and my babies loved her. Thanks dooo much Ashley”
“Vera stepped in as a last-minute replacement, and I’m so grateful she did! She followed all of my detailed instructions and was very intuitive with my persnickety cat. She also sent very charming and kind updates. Highly recommend!”
“Lynsey is an excellent choice for any pet owner who wants their pet to be well loved while they're away. She takes the time to make your pet comfortable, gives all the pets and even took care of our crested gecko! Lynsey is a true lifesaver and we were able to rest easy knowing our cat Lynx was in her responsible and knowledgeable care. Thank you Lynsey!”
About: I’ve had my own cat for 5 years and truly consider him my baby, so I understand how special cats are. I’ve cared for cats most of my life and love them all. I’m patient and gentle, making sure every cat feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
“Jill was excellent for my cat sitting needs. She kept me informed each day about the food, water & litter box situation. Jill also spent time playing with my cat & even had to clean up a fur ball. I highly recommend Jill as a cat sitter.”
“I’m glad we hired Maddie to take care of our cat Cannoli while we were away. She was punctual each day and spent plenty of time with her. My cat has only accepted 2 other people prior to this but she felt comfortable with Maddie and let her pet/interact with her too. Maddie is very polite, loves animals and responded to my texts in a timely manner. She kept an eye on the house while we were gone and took good care of my plants as well. I highly recommend Maddie to care for your pets!”

About: I've owned and cared for 9 dogs throughout my life, ranging from tiny Maltese and other small breeds to large Saint Bernard's. Every dog I've had has been treated like family, and I bring that same level of love, patience, and care to every pet I look after. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, or cuddles, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I have a pup of my own, and we stay active with daily walks, outdoor time, and enrichment activities. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or regular walks, I can adjust my schedule to meet their needs and keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for. How I care for your pet depends entirely on how you'd like me to support them and what makes them most comfortable. In my home, pets are treated like family and receive lots of attention, exercise, and affection. While I do not have a fenced-in yard, all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs will be leash-walked unless they have a proven, reliable recall. I am also happy to follow your pet's existing routines, feeding schedules, training preferences, and any special care instructions in either my home or yours.

About: Grew up on a farm caring for animals since my youth. now enjoy the company of visiting dogs, just like I had with my own. I currently work part-time and many situations able to bring a boarding dog with me; as I work with mostly older folks who would love the sweetness of a dog visit; considered therapy.

About: As a former breeder of Labradors, I have a great deal of experience raising and training dogs. My daughter has her own Rover page and we often work together. Being retired I have no employment obligations which leaves me free to care for your pet weekdays when others are not available. As well as evenings and weekends. I currently have one 3 year old Labrador and take pride in ensuring she gets lots of exercise and attention. If I'm caring for your pet in my home I always encourage a meet and greet first to be certain my client and his / her pet are comfortable with my home environment.

“Addie and her family are great with our Batman. He’s very sweet and energetic and loves playing with her family and pups. He had the best time and we will be repeat clients for sure.”
“Liliana and her husband were great!! Turbo stayed with them while we worked 2 times. He is super anti social but the 2nd time he stayed with them he was wiggling his tale as soon as we dropped him off which is great news for my dog. They kept me up to date, were very flexible with my late pick up times & meet and greet reschedules. Thank you so much for taking care of our baby!”

About: I am a mom to three human children, three dogs, and three horses. When my kids were younger, my "me time" was spent volunteering for various rescues and shelters. I love taking care of animals and found so much satisfaction helping out those poor little creatures who had no home to call their own! I loved it so much that I decided to start my own 501c3 nonprofit animal rescue! I figured that in doing so, I could help on a way bigger scale! Additionally, I could put more efforts in to helping people through the love of animals in need! Making the adoption process easy and fun, and making sure the humans and the pets are a wonderful match have made my rescue quite successful! Over the past 11 years I have rescued thousands of dogs, hundreds of cats, and three horses from shelters and other high risk situations! Throughout my years of taking care of pets, I have care for basically every age, breed, size, and temperament! I have also provided care on just about every level...from administering meds, IV treatments, vaccines, basic grooming, and basic training/behavior modifications. I joined Rover because I want to continue helping animals and support pet owners who need someone they can truly trust. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for like family while you’re away. Being able to provide that peace of mind is something I take seriously. Every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care while maintaining the structure and comfort your pet is used to. I also prioritize clear communication so you always feel confident and informed while your pet is in my care. My schedule has a lot of flexibility, and I am a full-time caregiver for these sweet babies! I will always do my best to be available for you and your furry family members! Pets in my home have my full supervision, and when I am unable to have my eye on them, they are either crated or in their own safe space! Our yard is fully fenced!

Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to be flexible to meet your dog’s needs. I’m available most days of the week for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I have work on Saturdays, so I’m typically unavailable that day, but with enough advance notice I can sometimes make arrangements. During the week, I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent, reliable care, whether it’s daily walks or extended stays I mainly care for pets in their own homes to keep them comfortable and on their normal routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I can also board at my home if needed, but I do have a friendly dog, so your pet must be dog-friendly.
About: I’ve spent several summers caring for both cats and dogs as well as having them in my house growing up! I absolutely love giving them the attention they deserve, whether that’s playtime, walks, or cuddle time. As a 20 year old college student, I bring lots of energy, patience, and genuine love for animals. I enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re part of my own family I currently am a college student with mostly early morning classes, so I am up pretty early.

I make sure pets have a clean, secure space, follow their normal routines, and give them plenty of attention so they feel at ease. My goal is to create an environment where pets are happy, loved, and cared for just like they would be with their family.
About: I have had cats since I was a baby and had chow chow dogs since I was 13 years old. I also worked at a kennel off and on for 12.5 years. I learned a little training but not a lot. I have worked with all different breeds of dogs. I love snuggling with cats as I grew up with having them in my household. I currently work full time however, full time is 30 hours for me so it allows me to have 3 to 4 days off towards the end of the week depending on the week. We have a large back yard with a dog run and as far as my cat. He is an indoor cat and gets spoiled indoors.
“Rachael did a great job with my dog Harry today! He came home happy & tired so that's a good thing. He ate his dinner quite heartily too, ha, ha! I'm looking forward to having her come back again hopefully on a regular basis for walks & see if we can get some weight off Harry as he is overweight for his size right at this stage in life. Thanks so much Rachael!”

About: Animals have been the heart of my home since I was a child. Growing up with Labs, German Shepherds, and Mastiffs taught me how to be a confident leader and a compassionate caregiver. Today, my black cat Squirt is my best friend, and that same love I have for him is what I bring to every pet I sit for. I pride myself on being a trustworthy and caring sitter. When you leave your pets with me, you can rest easy knowing they are in the hands of someone who genuinely loves their company. I am happy to accommodate different sizes, energy levels, and personalities—I simply love being around animals and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I am currently not working, so my schedule is open. I want to spend my free time with animals of all kinds - making all of us happy and allowing me to feel fulfilled! I am great with animals. Dogs and cats trust me and can tell that I am a genuinely good person. I won't let anything bad happen to your loved ones on my watch!
About: I've always loved and respected animals and I've always had pets. My mom always told me I needed to have a farm when I grew up because I would bring home all sorts of animals. Currently I have a pup named Shiloh. She is a border collie mix that I rescued. We love to go on walks, hikes and car rides. She loves to go visit Grandma, get treats at Petco, play fetch and snuggle. She is my love. I also have four adorable cats who let me live in their house in return for treats, cat toys and neck rubs. They allow Shiloh also and we live happily there. For years I have taken care of family, friend's and neighbor's pets while they are on vacation or working. I really enjoy it and now I would love to take care of your fur babies!❤
“Rhonda has a kind and loving presence- my dog felt instantly comfortable with her. He tends to be very aloof with strangers so seeing this eased my worries. She is a competent and professional. Thank you Rhonda for taking such great care of my boy🐾❤️”

“Saori was great. Our one year old lab was in heaven at their place. We received a puppy that was well cared for and had gotten a lot of socialization and exercise is a safe environment.”
“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.”

“Our boxer, Daisy, stayed with Valerie while we vacationed for a week in Florida. Valerie and her family were great from the start, not only with Daisy but also entertaining my eight year old son when we arrived for an introductory visit. They had plenty of room for Daisy to run around and two playful but well behaved dogs of their own that accepted Daisy in. Valerie provided updates during the week to let us know how Daisy was adapting and getting along with everyone and how much her family loved having her. She was also extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times knowing our hectic travel schedule. The next time we go away for an extended period, Valerie is definitely my first contact attempt.”
“From the first contact, I loved James' response. He first asked about meeting Neo to see if he would be a good match for his family, which gave me peace. He kept in contact by sending us pics and updates during our time away. No regrets! 🙏🏻”
“Elizabeth is the absolute best with our dogs! Our older dog was having some GI issues and she went out of her way to cook for her and keep us updated. When we picked her up the issues were resolved and our dogs were so happy!!! The updates she gave daily were a great comfort and she was extremely responsive ☺️”
“Robin is always so wonderful with our dog, Adelaide. She does regular drop in visits with her so when we need boarding services, Robin is always our first choice! She shows our dog so much care, attention and love.”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“Bruce was a amazing sitter. As this was my first time leaving my dog for a long period I was nervous but Bruce made sure to be attentive and sent me multiple photos during the trip and kept me updated throughout it all. I definitely feel comfortable leaving Rosco with Bruce again!”
“Erika is such a great pet sitter. She provided me with updates & photos throughout Luna’s stay, which put me at ease. She was very responsive & willing to meet with me for a meet & great. I would highly recommend her.”
“Claudia did a fabulous job sending us pictures and keeping us updated on our dog child! We had a hard time finding a sitter in VA over the holidays and ended up bringing him up to CT when we visited family for Christmas. We were confident leaving him with Claudia, and would board him with her again if we ever bring him back up to CT!”
“Rich is great with communication and making sure our dogs are safe and having fun. He even prepared a special holiday meal over Christmas for all of them. So happy he was available to care for our two dogs.”
“Rachael was helpful, communicative, trustworthy and responsive - she made the process a breeze and took great care of our dog. Everyday I was sent photos of her running, playing, exploring and having fun. Pepper even came back with sharpened training — I will be booking again and again!”
“I couldn't have asked for better people to take care of my Rosie! Alan and Luis made me feel comfortable in leaving my dog with them for a short stay and sent me picture updates daily. Thank you for treating Rosie as one of your own!”
“We left our Boston Terrier, George, with Nicole for two weeks. Throughout our vacation, Nicole sent updates and photos to let us know how he was doing. He looked quite happy in all the photos, and the updates helped me to not worry. Upon our return, George was very excited to see me, and did not show any signs of being stressed during his stay. He seems to have been well cared for. I am very pleased with Nicole and her care for George. We’ll be booking her again in January for another two weeks.”
“Mariana was wonderful. Our dog can be a little nervous in general but she was very comfortable, playful, and tired when we picked her up. Mariana was incredibly responsive and sent picture updates throughout the day. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog at her house and will definitely do so in the future.”
“I can’t say enough about how well Sadie was cared for Kristina is certainly a dog-person. She read all the signs that Sadie was giving her to play, train go for a walk and chill. She followed all our directions and cared for Sadie as if she was her own dog. We received a lot of communication in the form of photos and videos. I would highly and without hesitation recommend Kristina to care for your dog too.”
“Addie was an absolute gem & was so welcoming to my Beagle puppy! She sent me cute photos, has a designated space for the dogs, & a great yard for running around. She also took my dog on walks and has lovely children for my pup to play with. I really appreciate her time and definitely hope to book with her again in the near future. With gratitude, Katrina”
“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! 💕”
