Thank you Jieun, Matth and Ollie for treating moochie as your own for a few days ❤️so thankful 🙏🏼❤️”
“Bruce B and Carolyn did an amazing job taking care of my fur babies, Blizzard-Kareem and Bounty-Killa. I was traveling out of the country and my other Dogsitter cancelled on me at the last minute, so I was so nervous to leave my dogs with just anybody. I read all the positive reviews for Bruce and thought I would give him a try. From the meet and greet, I knew they were the right fit. While I was out of the country, they kept me updated with pictures and what they did everyday. I was so relaxed knowing that they were in good hands. I will definitely use them as a regular sitter.”

Marilyn is the best boarder we have worked with and I would love for Peanut to stay with her again. Your dog will be safe and wonderfully cared for in her hands. 5 stars and A+ experience! Thank you so much Marilyn!”
“Stephanie too great care of my dog Ember over the holiday weekend! I hadn’t left her with someone she didn’t know before, but she seemed very at-home with Stephanie! Stephanie also helped keep my mind at ease with plenty of pictures and updates on how each day was going!”

Our dog Luna is pretty nervous around new people, but Elizabeth and her family created a safe, comfortable environment that allowed Luna to come out of her shell. The regular updates and photos we received throughout our trip were much appreciated. I would recommend Elizabeth to any dog owner in a heartbeat 🐾”

“Catherine took wonderful care of my boys, 2 large male cats, on 2 separate occasions. What I particularly appreciated so very much was that when I came home after being away, they were very calm and not at all needy, which is a sure sign to me that they were well taken care of. It was just so reassuring to me to know that! I will be using Catherine regularly in the future!”
About: Im comfortable working with friendly dogs of different ages, including puppies who need extra attention and older dogs who may need a slower, more gentle approach. Plus, my dog is very friendly and enjoys the company, which can help other dogs feel more comfortable and social. I've always loved being around animals, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Whether it's walks, sticking to their normal routine, I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. I care for pets in both my home and my client’s home, depending on the service. I make sure they have a safe, clean space, follow their feeding and walking routines, and give them plenty of attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their pet comfortable and cared for.
About: Hi, I'm Alessandra! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I cared for everything from turtles, a bird, hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits to two Golden Retrievers. Today, I have a cat and Golden Retriever of my own, so I know firsthand just how much our pets are a part of the family. As a Rover-user myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust to care for your pet. I also know that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m always happy to tailor my care accordingly. I work remotely and am based in Newtown, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule for house sitting and/or walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I’m reliable, communicative, and mindful of the little things that make a big difference - following your routine and care instructions, respecting your home, keeping your pet comfortable & happy, and sending plenty of updates along the way. My goal is to make sure you feel just as comfortable with me caring for your pet as I’d want to feel with someone caring for mine! I’d love to meet you and your pet(s) — let’s chat and see if it’s a good fit! — Alessandra 🐾
“Liv took care of our two cats over a period of 6 days. This was the first time we used her and she was wonderful. She came over twice before we left going over what was required and to give our older cat his medication (ear cream) so that she was sure she was doing it correctly. She looked after our home, bringing in the newspaper and mail and checking for "hairball" events and cleaning up if necessary. She also made sure to send us pictures and videos on each visit. Liv is a very conscientious person who clearly loves animals and wants to make them comfortable and happy. She even regularly brushed our older kitty which he loves. I would recommend her to anyone who needs cat sitting while they are away.”
About: Hello, I am an empty nester and mom of two independent children and have received immense enjoyment and fulfillment from petsitting. I received an associate veterinary degree earlier in life and have had a passion for animals all my life. I have always owned dogs until I had to put down my last dog- a Weimeraner. Since then- I have enjoyed getting close to my clients dogs. I do walks/feedings and also board clients dogs at my home when they are away. Physical fitness is important to me so I enjoy walking or hiking the dogs I care for ! I work a small amount of part time hours so am home a good deal. Your loved one will receive lots of attention ! Excellent references are available if you require. Thank you, Linda
“The best with my girl Persephone. She was able to take her in very last minute and was very very flexible. I really appreciate all of her help and the way she was with Persephone during this tough transitional period. Loved all the pictures and videos she sent and I noticed that Persephone became less stressed overtime which I love. Highly recommend Madalys to everyone!”
“Aisaia comes often to check in on my dogs while I’m at work. He’s always reliable, on time, and spends a little extra time with my dogs. I would definitely recommend him and will continue to book with him!”

“I am a first time dog mom and my Shih Tzu went to stay with them for the day last min and she was so nice.

I met Jieun and Ollie on video chat the night before and sent over some questions and request to have a long walk or time to run around outside since I was going on and 2 hour drive after picking her up and she offered to take my dog to the dog park! I received pictures throughout the day ❤️ Very grateful to have found someone I trust completely with my pup! Will definitely book again! Also Ollie is the sweetest!”
About: I was a Poodle Dog breeder and was Registered with the American Kennel Club. I was an owner of 2 beautiful poodles for 18 years that were my babies. Growing up I had a German Shepard and a Doberman Pinscher. My family and I have many years of experience. **Ablamos Español Gracias I am currently working full time but I am off on weekends. Summers full time at Home. Also off for the week of April and also your pet will not be alone for the Summer. If needed on weekdays I will also be available. Available for Holidays I have a fenced big back yard and also my front yard is fenced in. Which they can run and play. I also have a good spacious home.
About: I bring 24 years of pet care experience, from raising a beloved cat for 21 years to caring for my current dog, Kylo, for 3 years. Your pup will enjoy a big, secure fenced backyard for play and plenty of loving attention! I work from home, so I’m always around to provide attentive care. My dog, Kylo, is my constant companion, and your pup will be treated like part of the family with plenty of supervision, playtime, and love throughout the day. I provide a safe, secure, and loving environment for every pet. With a fenced-in backyard in a quiet neighborhood, your pup can enjoy safe playtime and relaxation. I’m dedicated to ensuring they feel at home, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home.

About: I have 2 labs (1 lab German Shepard mix and 1 lab), who love to play and romp around, as well as the finer things in life like relaxation.My working schedule allows me to work from home full time, huge plus for the pups and kiddos. We travel about once a year for 2 weeks, and mostly spend our time in town as our boys do sports. I was a dog walker and sitter for 2 years in college, had a dog growing up as a child and I’ve rescued and adopted 5 pups with my husband. Since I'm use to the early mornings, walking the fur babies early is not a problem. I believe a tired dog is a happy dog and I try to make sure they get as much play time and attention as needed. Treating the fur babies as family members, means they have their beds, own couch, toys and free range in our house.
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the personalized care and attention I give to every dog. I treat each pet like a member of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I provide plenty of playtime, exercise, updates, and affection, while also following each dog’s unique routine and needs. With my experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, pet owners can feel confident knowing their furry friend is in a caring and reliable environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule. As a teacher, I have a structured routine and plenty of experience providing care, supervision, and attention throughout the day. During the summer, I am home full-time, which allows me to dedicate even more time to the pets in my care. This means frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Because I am home, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy a safe, comfortable, and attentive environment while their owners are away. I have a fenced yard with a nice size backyard where the dogs can run around and enjoy the weather. And they will be supervised
“My dog, Luna, had a great day at Kyle’s. He’s got a great setup for pups to play inside and out, and he clearly understands dogs well and is able to give them great care. Luna is very nervous around new people, and Kyle was able to attend to her needs and made sure she was comfortable during her stay. Will definitely be back.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs overnight and have attended them throughout the day. I feel comfortable administering meds as well. My family has always fostered dogs and cats so I have gained lots of confidence, great instincts and trust with my furry friends. Pet care has always been a passion of mine. I have a very flexible schedule as I go to school online and work remotely fulltime. If you book me, I am cognizant of my schedule and very punctual. I love to keep them moving whether it’s playing inside or outside. Snuggles and cuddles are always welcome. I prefer to follow the expectations based on the owners preference.

“Taylor was great, she took the time to learn everything about our request. Very professional and on time. We got plenty of messages and pictures. Our dogs were very receptive to her, and they loved her. I would definitely ask her to do dogsitting for us again.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who can’t imagine life without dogs. My family has two dogs that I grew up with, and they’ve been such a huge part of my life. Over the past 8 years, I’ve cared for cats and dogs, both large and small breeds, giving me experience with a wide variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I truly believe dogs are one of the best things on earth. Their love, cuteness and personalities make every day better. While I can’t have a dog of my own right now due to where I live, caring for other people’s dogs gives me the opportunity to share that love and spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a caring companion around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry baby and treat them like one of my own! 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule everyday. I have weekend, mornings, midday and nights available, so anytime you need I’ll be available. Week long pet sitting is also available. I have experience with large and small dogs both needing a crate and not. I love going on long walks, so if your baby needs a long engaging walk I am your person! I have experience with feeding wet and dry food, as well as giving liquid and pill medication!
“Cathy was absolutely amazing! She was punctual and great with my babies! Every day I got updates and pictures and the dogs adored her! Can’t wait to book with her again.”

“Our dog, Bagel, enjoyed a wonderful vacation of his own with Nicole! This was his second time staying with Nicole. Bagel is pretty social so being able to play with Nicole's own dogs as well as any other boarders was just the best treat for him. Nicole's daily pictures and quick updates gave peace of mind and assured us that we made the right choice for boarding. Thank you and we will definitely be back!”
“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”
“Kara is absolutely amazing! She has watched my dog many times, and every experience has been wonderful. She’s great with my dog, incredibly patient, and genuinely caring.

I highly recommend Kara to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and truly exceptional dog sitter!”
“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”

“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.”
“Charlotte and family are the best ! Accommodating, easy going, and super communicative during the stay with photos! Philo had the best time and wasn't eager to come home haha. Thank you again!”
“Valeria was an incredible host for Ziggy! She was super communicative and took great care of him - I’ve already got my next booking scheduled. The ONLY downside is I think he likes her more than me now.”
About: I’ve been welcoming other people’s dogs into my home for more than 20 years. It started because I knew firsthand how hard it was to leave my own dog when I traveled. I wanted there to be another option for people like me—people who couldn’t imagine leaving their dog in a kennel but also weren’t comfortable having someone stay in their home. What began as something I offered to friends became something I genuinely love doing. There’s something very special about watching a dog arrive in an unfamiliar place, helping them settle in and trust me, and eventually seeing them stretched out on the couch or curled up beside me as though they’ve always lived here. I still miss them when they go home. I board dogs from only one family at a time because I want their stay to feel less like boarding and more like their own vacation. While they’re here, they live with me as part of my household. I work from home and structure my days around them, so they have plenty of companionship and frequent access to my fully fenced yard. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from very small dogs to dogs over 100 lbs, as well as puppies and seniors. They’re welcome on my furniture and, if they sleep with their people at home, they’re welcome to sleep with me. I don’t routinely crate dogs, but I’ll maintain a dog’s crate routine if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I require a Meet & Greet before accepting a new dog because I want your dog to be comfortable with me, my home and my dog—and I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving them with me. After more than 20 years, the reason I do this hasn’t changed. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is enjoying theirs, too—living in a home, getting affection and companionship, and being cared for by someone who understands just how much they mean to you. While your dog is in my care, I structure my days around them. I work from home, have my groceries delivered and generally don’t schedule activities that require me to leave them alone. There’s no rigid boarding schedule here—their normal routine becomes part of mine. Whether they want to follow me around the house, nap beside me while I work, play, cuddle or head into the fenced yard, they have companionship throughout the day. While your dog is with me, I treat them as one of my own, with the same love, attention and care I give my own dog. Before a dog stays with me for the first time, I require a Meet & Greet with my dog so we can make sure they’re comfortable together before you leave your dog in my care. I board dogs from only one family at a time, so there aren’t unfamiliar boarding dogs constantly coming and going. My yard is fully fenced, and while your dog is here, I follow your instructions for feeding, medications and normal routines. I don’t crate dogs unless their family specifically requires it as part of their normal routine.
“First time with the strangers, and it was a success! Our old lady was in top condition when we picked her up! Stefanie sent us updates/pictures every day, it was nice to see Ozzi being calm and comfortable. They even provided our dog with a rug for walking over the hardwood floors. Just shows how much they cared! Thank you!”
