“Karen took our Poodle puppy on a last minute request and we’re so happy she did! She stayed in contact throughout, sent tons of photos and videos and was very flexible with pickup and drop off time. She even gave us a little parting gift! Would definitely recommend Karen if you are in the New London/Mystic area!”
“We have used Elizabeth a few times and are so grateful to have found a Rover (and her family) that are so great with our two dogs, Harry and Jules! Highly recommend Elizabeth if you’re looking for someone to take extra special care of your best buddies!”
“Absolute peace of mind. Leaving older dogs can be stressful, but Elisa made it completely worry-free. She took incredible care of our two dogs and treated them like family. She paid close attention to their medications, supplements, meals and senior routine. We received daily updates and photos. We highly recommend Elisa and will absolutely book her again!”
“Dana and Mathieu were amazing hosts and took excellent care of Vincent! He had so much fun playing with Daisy and Hazard that he wanted us to stay when we went to pick him up. We would definitely recommend them to anyone and will hope they are available next time we are in the area. Thank you for the pictures and videos, it was reassuring to see Vincent so happy and at ease while we were apart.”
“This is the first time we have used Rover for our 2 golden retrievers. So glad that we found Tom & Erica. We received daily pictures and messages about how they were settling in. They were very understanding with our departure date changing 2 times due to the blizzard. Our 2 boys seemed very happy there and are booked already for the near future.”
“Torie was great with our two morkies, one of which has PLE and has some intense dietary restrictions. She was very communicative and quick to respond during the stay! Thank you Torie!”
“Our dog loves going on vacation to Suzanne’s. He was so happy to see her and who could blame him? He gets exercise, snuggles, and a family away from home. Suzanne is very thoughtful about meeting our dogs unique needs and keeping us updated with his activities and some very cute photos. We’ll continue to book Suzanne as long as she is available.”
“Super accommodating with the short notice booking I requested! Steph is bright and friendly. She let me know if there were any issues with my pup. Would book with her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover/dog sitter and I was nervous leaving my two girls with strangers. After doing a meet and greet with the sitter I felt I made the right decision and was less nervous. I love the care they received with the sitter and their family. Daily updates, pictures and videos showed me just how happy my girls were. I will definitely book with Francis E and her family again, without any hesitation.”
“Ansley took excellent care of our two boys during the longest time we’ve ever spent away from them! We were very anxious to leave them for so long but she provided updates and her and her husband gave them lots of love and cuddles while we were away. Thank you for the peace of mind, Ansley!”
“Tina is by far one of the best dog sitters. She had my two fur babies for almost a week and was quick to respond and send updates as well as pictures of the dogs throughout their stay. I am extremely happy as Tina and her 2 beautiful daughters all exceeded my expectations. I will definitely use her going forward and recommend anyone who is looking for a sitter for your pet and want to feel comfortable with the person caring for them, Tina is that person. I promise you will not be disappointed ?. Thank you Tina & girls for everything. I hope to see you all soon ???”
“Jessie, our Springer Spaniel, loved her overnight stay with Laura and her family. Jessie came home rested and happy. We couldn’t be more pleased. We have already booked Jessie’s next visit!”
“Nina was very accommodating to my dog and I. My dog stayed with her this past weekend and Nina treated him like a part of her family. I loved that he had a great time at her home and wasn’t just placed in a cage over night like at most places. I’m booking with her again for any future trips! If you want your fur baby to be comfortable, loved on, and well cared for, book with Nina. She’ll keep you updated and you won’t have to worry while you’re away.”
About: I’m pretty much a full-time stay-at-home dog mom to my two large dogs, so caring for dogs is already a huge part of my everyday life! I’ve spent months working on training with my own dogs and have lots of hands-on experience with different behaviors, routines, and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, but I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while staying with me, with plenty of attention, playtime, love, and access to my fully fenced-in yard. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone new, so I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and keep you updated with plenty of pictures throughout their stay! Pet care is already a huge part of my everyday routine! I’m home most of the day with my own pets and have a very flexible work schedule, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to provide plenty of potty breaks, playtime, attention, meals on their normal schedule, and lots of time outside throughout the day. I have a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to play and two dogs of my own for company. I always prioritize safe introductions and will make sure your dog is comfortable with mine before their stay. Pets are welcome to make themselves at home, and I can easily separate or crate dogs when needed. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, sleeping, medication, and care routine as closely as possible and provide plenty of updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Copper and Bentley are never away from home but this Christmas I had to leave them with Dawn to accommodate all my daughters' visiting dogs. Dawn not only made them feel at ease, she made ME feel at ease - assuring me they would be fine and sending me pictures to verify that they were. Definitely recommend Dawn and will use her services again!”

“We booked Brianna last minute before our 10 day vacation and she was absolutely wonderful. She even took the time out of her day to come meet our cat and see our house before we left. She spent almost double the time with our cat the first few days to just get to know him and make sure he was comfortable with him. Throughout our trip she sent photos and little reports everytime she stopped by. I would definitely recommend using Brianna and we will 100% be using her again!”
“Tina is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of my diabetic cat Buddy! Right off the bat when I first met Tina I got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with Buddy! When I came home after my week away Buddy was relaxed and happy.”
“Nicole is a wonderful sitter! She watched my cat Otis for me semi last minute on a holiday weekend. He is a shy kitty but he was comfortable with her immediately. She was on time, communicative, and super sweet. Highly recommend!”
“Mary Glenn was awesome taking care of our kitty! She was so communicative and sent the best pictures everyday. She gave us a very worry free vacation and we will definitely be booking again!!”
“Melissa is a very friendly sitter. Our cat connected very quickly with her (to our pleasant surprise as we expected our cat to be shy)! She is very communicative, followed our instructions, asked questions for clarification, and sent pictures and updates. We are very grateful to have had her services paying visits to make sure our cat was okay and taken care of while we were away.”
“Very happy with Jillian as my pet sitter. She communicates well and gives me updates and photos. My Beagle, Sadie, loves her! I highly recommend her. I will definitely be using her again to watch Sadie.”
“Faith has been phenomenal for the past year that she has been taking care of my cat. She is very professional, responsive, and I always know my cat will be well looked after!”
“Jess was absolutely lovely! She checked in regularly and let me know of any behavior that was potentially worrisome with my pet so that I knew exactly what was going on. I'd definitely recommend her to a friend!”
“She takes great care of my kitties with their individual needs and is incredibly kind and friendly! I'd recommend her in a heartbeat. She even helped me out with a last minute request due to unexpected travel and is really compassionate.”
“Natalie was so reliable and we felt that our fur baby and home were both very well cared for. She picks up on all care instructions quickly, tailored check-ins to our preferences, and went above and beyond. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Kirsten was fantastic, she did a pre-visit check beforehand and visited our cat early each morning. She sent updates and photos, and let our cat outside to play, just like she’s used to. We would recommend Kirsten and would definitely book her again.”
About: I am a weekly volunteer at Kitty Harbor in Griswold so when it comes to cats, I am experienced in all sorts of mishaps- litter accidents, dirty butt, scratch boo boos, and more.

I fill my heart every week with all my shelter kitties and would love to be able to open my heart to yours as well.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by and caring for all kind of animals (even monkeys). Family, friends, colleagues, and strangers, have relied on me to care for their dogs, cats, and more for years; Knowing that I will love their pets like I love my own, my clients have confidence and trust when booking with me! As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I’m home the majority of the day and able to provide consistent care and attention. I intentionally only accept one additional dog at a time so each pet receives plenty of supervision and individualized care I have one dog, Ollie, that loves to play and keep every guest company. I am in a two story duplex with a small unfenced yard, but have an outdoor lead for potty breaks and plenty of areas for walking in my neighborhood. If necessary, for separation/calm down time, I have a baby gate available that can break up my kitchen and living room and I also have a spare room upstairs. There will be no instances where our pets are left alone unmonitored for the safety of both parties.
About: I currently work from home, so your pup gets plenty of company and attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. Our days can include walks, playtime, backyard time, cuddles, or simply relaxing nearby while I work. I have a 2-year-old Black Lab/Boxer mix who is very friendly and loves having other dogs around. We also have a fully fenced-in yard where the dogs can safely get some fresh air, play, and stretch their legs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s normal schedule as closely as possible—including meals, walks, medications, and any special instructions.

“Our doggies had a great time with Lourdes. Communication was great and easy. We received several pictures for daycare. Lastly, our dogs played a lot with Lourdes dog— our boys were tired and slept for hours after we picked them up!”
“We were in town visiting from Virginia and needed to find someone to watch our baby Jax for a day. So glad we found Elisa! She was very responsive to our request and was able to accommodate our change in pick up time. I can tell her and her family treated Jax like one of their own because he adapted so quickly! And I can tell he had a lot of fun because he instantly went to sleep. We’ll definitely book Elisa again if we need another sitter when we’re back in town!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sue! She was so incredibly accommodating and patient with my dog. My dog, Sadie, was uncharacteristically anxious and scared on our vacation. She was having a really hard time separating from me at all. Sue took the time to get her acclimated with the new environment and allowed me into her home to give Sadie time to adjust and get comfortable. She played calming music for Sadie and gave her her favorite treat- peanut butter. By the time we picked Sadie up, she was very happy and more back to herself. Sue gave Sadie so much love and attention the whole time I was at the aquarium. I was able to have a good time, knowing my dog was in good hands. Sue kept me updated on Sadie’s progress with texts, pictures and videos. I am so very grateful and would recommend Sue to anyone seeking a great pet sitter!”

“As she says in her introduction, Jennifer does give attentive care, together with her dog. Her rates are double what I have paid other caregivers on Rover - hard to judge if it is worth it but she was available locally when I needed someone.”

“Kristine is literally the best ever. She really cares about my dogs like they are her own. My dogs love her too! Great communication and she’s very reliable and caring.”
“Jennifer has been so great with my anxious dog Cambria. She accommodated my request for a few meetings with all of us together so Cambria would be more comfortable when Jennifer came to our house for care. Cambria had her first solo visit yesterday and Jennifer sent me pictures which was wonderful to receive and eased my mind. I would recommend Jennifer to everyone who is a little nervous about leaving their dog, she is so kind and compassionate and made my anxious dog feel at ease.”
“Elizabeth was amazing! I want to start with this summary statement because it is the bottom line of our experience. From the meet and greet till the last detail, Elizabeth was just wonderful! She cared for our girl like she was her own! She is caring, professional, qualified, and an excellent communicator! We will definitely be asking for her help in the future!”
“Thanks for spending the time with Jenny walking her and letting her interact with the kids. That socialization is so important and also wears her out. She does love a car ride!”
About: I have always been passionate about animals which led me to work in veterinary medicine. My job is incredibly rewarding, getting to take care of cats and dogs and learn about the intricacies of maintaining their health. I am now working with aquatic animals as well! I am hard working, considerate and always up for a challenge! I have over 2 years of veterinary experience and a year of dog/ cat sitting experience. Hello! I am a former veterinary technician who is now working full time at the mystic aquarium. I would absolutely love to care for your pets in my free time. I am available on my lunch breaks (1 hour), before and after work and on weekends. I am available for dog walking, house calls and house sitting! I am very organized and maintain a schedule within my work and everyday life. I will tailor my time according to your pets needs, making sure they get their walks, meals and enrichment properly in a way that suits them best!
“Trish (Patricia) is wonderful. Her communication is great and her love for animals is apparent. I know my pepper is in good hands. I’m so glad I found her. I highly recommend Trish for your pet needs.”
About: I've lived with dogs nearly my whole life, and cats for half of it. I have taken care of said pets for years and been an in-family pet sitter on numerous occasions. My mother frequently cares for other pets through apps like this/through friends, and I assist her with that when needed. At the moment, I care for my mother's pets when she leaves town for any length of time (1 small/medium dog, 1 cat). Otherwise, I'm a free agent. Some of the services listed on the app have the potential to overlap (such as a visit and a walk), I don't consider the price to be totally compounding, just let me know and we can figure out what works best. I'd imagine this is on a situational basis. I'll pet/feed/walk them and am able to follow directions as well as any human, should your pet require specific, or unique, handling. I can usually read pet body language pretty well, but have no specific training in it. If there are any areas of confusion for me, I'll be sure to ask questions to make sure your pet is cared for properly.
About: I have extensive experience pet sitting for dogs (all ages), cats, rabbits, chickens and other birds, small mammals, and farm animals, including animals with special medical needs. I also have experiencw with exotic pets. I am certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. I have been a volunteer for both an animal shelter and a local animal rescue league chapter, as well as at many events that benefit animals, and have had pets of my own since childhood. I currently live with a wonderful, sweet, sassy 7 year old female Corgi. I owned 2 wonderful Siberian Huskies who lived to be seniors, and in the course, required regular medications, special diet, physical therapy exercises, assisted walking, and wound cleaning, so I am very familiar with dealing with health issues, and am able to recognize when an animal is in any distress. As I believe emotional well-being is just as important as physical, I will always spend time with your pet, or exercise him/her with his/her favorite toy or game. If your pet is in training, I would be happy to reinforce what he/she is learning. Caring for animals is not just what I do, it's who I am! I look forward to hearing from you! Please feel free to check out my Facebook page under Pawsibilities Pet Services for reviews! Pet sitting is my full time job, so I am basically at your disposal when it comes to your pets! You will find me very flexible! I am in a pet friendly community with ample safe places to walk. If you prefer your pet crated while I am not present I am happy to do so. I will try to keep a routine, as pets thrive on that.

“We were very happy with Sara. She made a separate trip to meet our dog before the walk date and we and our dog liked her right away. She came as arranged and sent pictures and text about his walk. I definitely would use her services again.”
About: My experience includes working with horses, donkeys, sheep, chickens, fish, reptiles, birds and more. I have my own dog Paul, and I've owned dogs and cats in the past as well. My most recent certification is in wildife rehabilitation, and I work part-time as an educator at an aquarium. I surround myself with animals and I hope to do so for the rest of my life. I work on Sundays and Mondays, volunteer on Thursdays, and may be called in on other days. I am responsible for my own animals at home as well. As long as I have time to plan for animal care for others, I will make that care a priority. Clearly written instructions on specific care for your animals is appreciated, but I can use my knowledge and experience to make the right calls if anything comes up.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I know that every dog is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in my care. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I’m able to provide care before and after work as well as on weekends. I have a consistent weekday schedule, so I’m able to plan visits and walks around my work hours and make sure I can give each pet the time and attention they need. I’m also available for longer visits and extended care when my schedule allows. I’m reliable and communicative, and I’ll always make sure we agree on a schedule that works well for both you and your pet. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make it a priority to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always leave everything clean and as I found it. I understand that being away from their owner can be stressful for some pets, so I’m patient and attentive to their individual needs and personalities. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is safe, comfortable, and having a great time while you’re away.
About: I have been cat and dog sitting for my family since I was able to be left alone in a house and have grown up around dogs and cats. I now currently watch my family’s pets for them as well as have my own dog and cats. I can come in at most 5 times a day to check on your pet or I can walk your dog throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule so I can be free frequently throughout the day. I have tons of experience with many different types of dogs from small dogs to larger dogs. I will ask questions if I need to but am very familiar with pet care.
About: I’m more than just a pet sitter, I’m someone who truly understands that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I combine professional, reliable care with a playful, loving approach, making sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart. Attentive, personalized care for each pet Confident handling of energetic, anxious, or shy pets Experience with multi pet households Strong focus on safety, routines, and positive reinforcement Clear communication with regular updates and photos My goal is simple. Happy pets, stress free owners, and care you can trust. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I plan for it, giving every walk and visit the time it deserves to build trust with every pet I prioritize safety and trust by following routines, reading pet body language, and keeping environments calm and secure. Clear communication, consistency, and attentive care ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and confident.
About: I worked at a well-known dog daycare along with their doggy spa for over a year, feeding, medicating, exercising, bathing and more. I have trained my dog to do many things. I also have done a number of dog sitting, watching and walking and am super reliable. I am currently attending school at SUNY Cortland and am home and available everyday, anytime during the months of December until January 26th, March 16-20 and all summer starting May 15th. Summer times may vary depending on other summer jobs, but during these breaks I am fully available to have plenty of time for your pets! I have a big yard in a very secluded are in the woods, a mile from the main road and far up the driveway from the dirt road. I have one friendly pup to keep your furry friend company, she is very social and loves to play! There are many conservation areas around to go for walks or a swim.

“We have used Elizabeth a few times and are so grateful to have found a Rover (and her family) that are so great with our two dogs, Harry and Jules! Highly recommend Elizabeth if you’re looking for someone to take extra special care of your best buddies!”
“Absolute peace of mind. Leaving older dogs can be stressful, but Elisa made it completely worry-free. She took incredible care of our two dogs and treated them like family. She paid close attention to their medications, supplements, meals and senior routine. We received daily updates and photos. We highly recommend Elisa and will absolutely book her again!”
“Dana and Mathieu were amazing hosts and took excellent care of Vincent! He had so much fun playing with Daisy and Hazard that he wanted us to stay when we went to pick him up. We would definitely recommend them to anyone and will hope they are available next time we are in the area. Thank you for the pictures and videos, it was reassuring to see Vincent so happy and at ease while we were apart.”
“This is the first time we have used Rover for our 2 golden retrievers. So glad that we found Tom & Erica. We received daily pictures and messages about how they were settling in. They were very understanding with our departure date changing 2 times due to the blizzard. Our 2 boys seemed very happy there and are booked already for the near future.”
“Torie was great with our two morkies, one of which has PLE and has some intense dietary restrictions. She was very communicative and quick to respond during the stay! Thank you Torie!”
“Our dog loves going on vacation to Suzanne’s. He was so happy to see her and who could blame him? He gets exercise, snuggles, and a family away from home. Suzanne is very thoughtful about meeting our dogs unique needs and keeping us updated with his activities and some very cute photos. We’ll continue to book Suzanne as long as she is available.”
“Super accommodating with the short notice booking I requested! Steph is bright and friendly. She let me know if there were any issues with my pup. Would book with her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover/dog sitter and I was nervous leaving my two girls with strangers. After doing a meet and greet with the sitter I felt I made the right decision and was less nervous. I love the care they received with the sitter and their family. Daily updates, pictures and videos showed me just how happy my girls were. I will definitely book with Francis E and her family again, without any hesitation.”
“Ansley took excellent care of our two boys during the longest time we’ve ever spent away from them! We were very anxious to leave them for so long but she provided updates and her and her husband gave them lots of love and cuddles while we were away. Thank you for the peace of mind, Ansley!”
“Tina is by far one of the best dog sitters. She had my two fur babies for almost a week and was quick to respond and send updates as well as pictures of the dogs throughout their stay. I am extremely happy as Tina and her 2 beautiful daughters all exceeded my expectations. I will definitely use her going forward and recommend anyone who is looking for a sitter for your pet and want to feel comfortable with the person caring for them, Tina is that person. I promise you will not be disappointed ?. Thank you Tina & girls for everything. I hope to see you all soon ???”
“Jessie, our Springer Spaniel, loved her overnight stay with Laura and her family. Jessie came home rested and happy. We couldn’t be more pleased. We have already booked Jessie’s next visit!”
“Nina was very accommodating to my dog and I. My dog stayed with her this past weekend and Nina treated him like a part of her family. I loved that he had a great time at her home and wasn’t just placed in a cage over night like at most places. I’m booking with her again for any future trips! If you want your fur baby to be comfortable, loved on, and well cared for, book with Nina. She’ll keep you updated and you won’t have to worry while you’re away.”
About: I’m pretty much a full-time stay-at-home dog mom to my two large dogs, so caring for dogs is already a huge part of my everyday life! I’ve spent months working on training with my own dogs and have lots of hands-on experience with different behaviors, routines, and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, but I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while staying with me, with plenty of attention, playtime, love, and access to my fully fenced-in yard. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone new, so I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and keep you updated with plenty of pictures throughout their stay! Pet care is already a huge part of my everyday routine! I’m home most of the day with my own pets and have a very flexible work schedule, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to provide plenty of potty breaks, playtime, attention, meals on their normal schedule, and lots of time outside throughout the day. I have a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to play and two dogs of my own for company. I always prioritize safe introductions and will make sure your dog is comfortable with mine before their stay. Pets are welcome to make themselves at home, and I can easily separate or crate dogs when needed. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, sleeping, medication, and care routine as closely as possible and provide plenty of updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Copper and Bentley are never away from home but this Christmas I had to leave them with Dawn to accommodate all my daughters' visiting dogs. Dawn not only made them feel at ease, she made ME feel at ease - assuring me they would be fine and sending me pictures to verify that they were. Definitely recommend Dawn and will use her services again!”
