“Best pet sitter ever!!!! Liz went above and beyond and took great care of my Boston Terrier!! 10/10 stars! Will be using her again for all my future pet sitting!!! Liz took the time at least once a day on my 18 day booking to send updates on potty, treats, feeding, playtime/walks as well as send photos of my dog! She treated Mickey like family. Couldn’t have had a better experience!!”
“I love the instant connection that Bruce had with Mr. Biggs I was made comfortable and consistently reassured that Biggs was in good health and spirits throughout his stay. Would highly recommend and also book again!!”
“Saori has been so patient and caring with our Pomsky puppy. Since we work from home, I was concerned he wasn’t socializing enough and of course he has lots of energy. Daycare with Saori will be a big help in our journey together. We got really lucky finding her right from the start.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Jessica and Ian were terrific! We went away to a family wedding and I was so nervous leaving my 17 year old Bo. When interviewing them I told them about Bo being elderly with walking issues and other elderly ailments, and they assured me that they had no problem, loved elderly dogs, and would take great care of him. Well they were right!! He settled right in and looked so happy in the pics they sent. And he was fine and relaxed when we picked him up.”
“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.”
“This family is absolutely wonderful. They watched our two dogs for the first time for 6 nights. One of my dogs is a senior and the other has epilepsy and needs medicine twice a day. This family took great care of the two of them and sent me daily updates and pictures. I will definitely book again with them!!”
“Claudia was perfect for our dog. She understood her needs and provided her with great care. She sent me pictures and gave me updates on how she was doing throughout the week. When we picked our dog up she looked beautiful. She was groomed and seemed extremely fit. We will definitely use her services for our next trip / event.”
“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!”
“Yajaira was an excellent pet sitter! She kept our dog active with walks and sent frequent updates/pictures during our puppy’s stay with her. She responded right away every time we contacted her. I would absolutely recommend her services! Thanks again Yajaira.”
“Erika took care of our Baby “Rydah” She sent regular updates along with photos, meal times, and Rydah’s walking schedule. We WILL be using Erika again. Strongly recommend her to any other family. Thanks Erika Rydah will see you soon!”
“Stephanie became a second mom to our Charlie. She gave him so much love and helped him acclimate very quickly and he felt comfortable right away. She was always quickly available to us and sent us multiple photos a day. I would more than highly recommend her as your future fur babies sitter. Thank you again Stephanie.”
“Kathryn is probably the best Rover sitter we’ve had (and we’ve used some lovely sitters). Our dogs are anxious when they’re left, and Kathryn really helped them feel at ease - her fenced yard was perfect and they just seemed to trust her. I’d highly recommend booking your pet’s stay with her!”
“Second time buddy stayed with Brittany and her family and he had a good time. He didn’t come home clingy or anxious. Brittany kept me updated with lovely glamour shot of Buddy throughout the stay. Would recommend her without any reservations.”
“Christina is truly the best! When my trip was approaching and my original sitter canceled unexpectedly, she stepped in without hesitation and took care of my dog, Lucas, on very short notice, showing incredible understanding and flexibility. She kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, making me feel at ease even from afar. Christina treated Lucas like family, allowing him to sleep close to her and ensuring he was well cared for. Her kindness, dedication, and genuine love for animals make her absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help!”
“Hazard took wonderful care of our boy Vinny! She was incredibly responsive, sent updates with photos regularly and most importantly Vinny was very comfortable staying with her and her family. We were so happy with the care and attention he received. We would highly recommend her pet sitting services to anyone looking for a responsible person- we were not worried at all while we were away. Hopefully we will be able to get away again for a few days-if so, Hazard will be hearing from us again. She was just wonderful- thank you Hazard!! ❤️”
“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.”

“Above and beyond; sweet, kind, caring, professional and knowledgeable. Couldn't have taken better care of our cat and let us feel so at ease with her communications, photos and even checked in with a call when kitty decided to hide. Cannot recommend Leviena highly enough! Hope we are lucky enough to be able to book with her again in the future. Thanks Leviena!!!”
“Erika was able to accommodate our cat sitting needs at short notice. She was prompt in responding to our inquiry, and in visiting us. During the pet sitting period, Erika was easy to communicate with and bonded well with our cat, who was happy and well taken care of. On our return, it was obvious that Erika had been extremely clean and tidy, our kitchen was spotless and she was kind enough to bring in packages and keep an eye on our property. I'd recommend Erika highly.”
“Ace was absolutely amazing! He was very communicative about his visits with our cat, and he checked in about different behaviors our quirky guy was displaying. We felt so comfortable leaving our cat with Ace, and knew he was in great hands! I’d highly recommend Ace!”
“Theresa did a great job! She gave us daily updates and sent us photos of our pets during her visits. We were very happy she was able to spend equal time with each of our pets during her visits. We will definitely be looking to rebook in the future! :)”
“Zach was an outstanding sitter for my two cats. Although they are very shy one started to warm up to him by the end of the week! Zach even swept up the litter that they tracked on the floor. Will book again!”

“Jenna did a great job taking care of my cats. She showed up like clockwork, sent pictures to put me at ease and responded to all my questions and texts. Everything was as expected with no issues, everything neat and clean and she even brought the mail in without being asked to. I plan on using Jenna again in November and February. Big relief to have someone dependable to take care of Willow and Friday.”
“Hunter was absolutely fabulous! They did a great job taking care of our three cats and we were extremely grateful for their careful attention to any issues that arose during our two weeks away. Hunter went above and beyond to take care of our cats, and we are so grateful! We have already booked Hunter again for our future travel.”

About: Hi! I enjoy meeting, engaging with, and caring for family pets and have experience with all breeds of dogs and cats at all age ranges. I am available for ongoing long-term set schedules as well as flexible schedules for pet sitting. My schedule allows me to check in morning, midday, and/or late afternoons/evenings. I do not presently render services at my home, but I do not mind crating your dog at your home and enjoying many walks and hikes nearby.
“Stephanie did such a great job with my 3 messy cats! Very reliable, great communication, lots of pictures, and my gang always got some toy time, which they love!”
“Sarah is the best! I have an older pup and an independent cat; right away she put my mind at ease as her experience and care for animals radiates. She communicated clearly and promptly with me from the pre-booking to after the visits. She followed every direction and went above and beyond. I loved her updates and photos; I appreciated her kindness and attention to details. My pets said they had an amazing time with her! I would recommend her and welcome her back any time.”
About: I've never lived without a cat, and I have a lot of experience caring for different types of cats, whether kittens, elderly, sick, street cats, etc. My old cat had cancer and gut problems towards the last year of her life and I got very familiar with giving oral medicine, enemas, and potty proofing areas. Additionally, I've dealt with diabetic cats and am more than comfortable to administer insulin injections as I am Type 1 Diabetic myself and have plenty of experience.
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 8 years old, from feeding and playtime to litter box care. I also have experience bottle-feeding kittens. Over time, I’ve learned to understand cat behavior well and know how to create a calm, loving environment for cats of all personalities.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, attention to detail, and understanding that every cat has a unique personality. I know that cats can be sensitive to change, so I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I have fostering experience, which has given me hands-on skills working with shy, anxious, and newly adjusted cats. This has taught me how to build trust slowly and read their behavior so I can respond to their needs in the best way possible. I’m also experienced with daily care routines like feeding schedules, playtime, and keeping litter boxes extremely clean (I take litter box care seriously to keep your cat happy and healthy). I’m comfortable administering basic medications if needed and making sure senior cats or those with special needs are well cared for with extra patience and attention. Overall, I provide reliable, gentle, and loving care—making sure your cat feels safe, stress-free, and cared for just like they would at home

Perfect for high energy dogs - Oxford
“Kara was great! She was super flexible and willing to watch Shadow with what I believed was a last minute request! I would definitely recommend to anyone if you’re looking for a sweet and personable dog sitter!”
“Seems like my boys adjusted well to a new environment and humans. My youngest fur baby can be very anxious at times and I have a very senior fur baby that needed extra TLC. I was glad to have someone that understand the specific needs of my babies. I am excited for their next visit!!!”
“I would recommend Michelle!! Ozzy loves going to hers. Her care is great for dogs like mine who are excited, need exercise and supervision. Ozzy always gets to run around and play and Michelle is very tentative with his care! 5 stars definitely a great environment”
“Noemi is incredible! She made Blue and I feel right at home. Her children are also incredibly sweet and loving. Blue had a fantastic time and took advantage of her large fenced in yard. I can tell he had a great time as he took a hearty nap as soon as we got home :) Thank you for all you do Noemi! Looking forward to return.”
“Bruce met Ozzy for a meet & greet and then cared for him the whole next day sending me updates and pictures on how everything was going. I was so happy to know Ozzy was in a safe environment and having fun. Bruce knows animals very well and is very generous, he made sure Ozzy felt super comfortable! As a pet owner this is everything; 10/10 from me and I would recommend Bruce to a friend”
“Moby had a great time! Thank you so much for being so caring and loving! We really appreciate the flexibility as well! We hope to bring Moby back to play with the girls soon! ~ Yuki & Jeremy”
“Gracie had a great day with Mariana and her crew. Mariana welcomed her with open arms. Having the fenced back yard so accessible is perfect for letting dogs in and out as needed, but the house itself is comfy and warm -- just right for these snowy, cold winter days. I highly recommend Mariana as a loving dog care giver.”
“Zarah is wonderful. My dog was so pleasantly tired after all the activities at Zarah's house- like playing, swimming and walking around the yard. Dogs are allowed in the house which makes it more like a home stay. Love it!!!!!”
About: I love my dogs. I have taken care of my dogs . I give baths and play with them and take them to walks. They are family to me. I’m very flexible. My child are 13 and 14 years old. I have a lot of time in the day to play with dogs inside and outside. I have a quiet neighbor and safe home. I have fully fenced in yard, Dogs have enough space to run and play. And would be very safe.
“We've had a wonderful experience with Valerie; she is sweet and very attentive to us and our puppy. Her home is very welcoming to pets. She sends photos and videos throughout the day, and we see what a great time our Lily is having with her dog Henry. Looking forward to another stay.”
“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!”
“Highly recommend Siqing - it was our pup’s first stay and she took time to update us with lots of photos and bring out her shyness. She made a few new friends at the end of her stay!”

About: I've been working at an animal hospital for 20+ years and have been managing the grooming and boarding facility there for 15+ years. I have worked with cats and all ages, temperaments, and breeds of dogs. Besides the professional experience, I have always loved animals, lived with family dogs and cats my entire life, and am well suited for caring for your pets, too! My husband has been a dog dad for 15+ years (and a bird dad as well) and has over a decade of professional experience with dogs in the boarding and grooming section of an animal hospital. Between the two of us, at least one of us is home every day - we would love to provide a home away from home for your pet! Our goal is to provide the most compassionate, safe, and responsible care for your pet. Our house is set back from the road on 100+ acres of conservation land where we can hike and explore with your dog. Our house is roomy and comfortable, and we strive to provide whatever your dog needs. We also value enrichment for pets - we hope your dog will learn, grow, and be stimulated while with us. We also live right next door to my father, who is a veterinarian and available for any questions we might have. We have a new addition to our family and welcomed in a baby boy in June 2025. Since then, we are accepting new clients with smaller dogs and sometimes larger dogs if they are older or laid back. We do have a soft spot for our older guests and love to keep them comfortable and pampered. We live in a one story house, so there are minimal steps. We try to mimic your own schedule at home. And one of us is home every day so we're able to provide the best care possible. We have a small fenced in area outside our front door, mostly for safety in coming in and out of the house. Outside of that area, I leash walk your dogs (until we have a larger fenced in area). We have gates inside to give dogs their own space if/when they want it. If you pet is more comfortable in a crate during bedtimes or short times alone, we can provide that as well. We are diligent regarding medication, feeding instructions, and medical concerns. We also will keep you up to date on how the stay is going and welcome you to reach out anytime.
About: *UPDATED 6/25 (I will gladly overly love and take care of all the animals I've learned 🙈🤣 if not comfortable with your animal getting attention x10...I'm not your girl 🤣 I set this up randomly one day with spare time wanting to work with animals and not wanting to full time do it, come to my surprise that has not been the case...I currently walk two AMAZING elderly dogs 3x a week and am very strict on breeds I'm willing to board after 2 boarding situations with the most amazing sweet dogs and one that made my animals want to abandon me 🙈🤣 if requesting boarding or day care please understand if I decline requests from breeds I'm hesitant about my dog and 2 cats being comfortable with ❤️ always up for a meet and greet before deciding!)* I was raised with Border Collies, Maltese, German Shepards, Norwegian Elk hounds, between fostering, personal pets and caring for friends/families pets. Cared for and hand fed puppies my whole life as well as cared for senior dogs needing a slower, more loving pace in their later years. I run my own business and work from home allowing me a lot more free time and flexibility than most in and outside my home for care. I have 2 very smart and sweet cats (1 years old and 4 years old) as well as a 10 year old Norwegian Elk Hound. All 3 are more than accustomed to random animals being in and out of the home as anyone with animals that comes over is more than welcome and encouraged to bring them along. Animals are children and completely apart of the family in our world and household. Capable of crating animals yet prefer freedom for the babies if possible. *BONUS happy if great off leash staying with humans and our dog!*
About: I have had dogs since I was born. I have taken care of them throughout their life, from puppy to senior. I have dog sat for many family friends and family throughout my life. I went to an ag high school and was enrolled in the vet tech program. I have handled many different animals, as well as many different ages and needs. This includes senior massages and bathing, administering medicine, feeding, exercising various animals from horses to rats. If you have any questions, please reach out. I am currently going to school full time online and have plenty of time for pups! The only day I am unavailable is Wednesday. Please message me if you need any services. I do not have a fenced in yard but I have various long lines. I am comfortable in crating and training dogs. I will treat your pets how I would treat my own, with the utmost respect and listen to them however they express themself.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I provide more than just pet sitting — I offer dependable, loving companionship tailored to each pet’s needs and one thing I can say I specialize in is accustoming to different routines based on your pet’s schedule and preferences, from long walks to playtime to quiet cuddle sessions! I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, love, and respect. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. I work at a school which means my schedule could be flexible at times and I do have weekends off which gives me more than enough play time for your furry friends on the weekends! I have a large fenced backyard which gives the dogs a chance to run around and play freely. I also have a partner who is a Firefighter and a huge dog lover and has more of a flexible schedule on most days so on the weekdays when I am at work and he is not working they will still be with someone offering lots of love and attention.

“We love having Theresa back while she's home from school for her holiday break. My pup Molly loves Theresa so much and my husband and I both agree she gets the best care she could get with her! Theresa has become like family to us after using her the past year and a half. ❤”
About: I have grown up with large dogs (Dobermans, Pitties, Mastiffs) my entire life. I have been rescuing Pitties for over 20yrs and am currently on my fourth rescue. I am experienced with medication administration, special needs and, all ages of dogs from newborn to senior. I have an hour lunch break and, am free after 3pm daily and, all day every other wknd! I care for my 3 pets and can't wait to get home and see them! I work 7-3 most days but, my dog is yard trained so, can be let out multiple times when I am not at home. Once I do get home, we head out for a walk and then, its dinner time! All of my animals are allowed on my furniture and, choose who's bed they sleep in each night!
“I cannot say enough good things about Kara. I moved to a new town and reached out to her for help. She is flexible, reliable and easy to communicate with. She always makes herself available for me and is wonderful with my dogs. She's been a massive help and I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. :)”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, patience, and genuine love I bring to every pet I work with. I don’t just “watch” animals—I build trust with them and treat them like my own. My experience as a caregiver has really shaped how attentive and compassionate I am, especially when it comes to understanding different needs and personalities. I also have fostering experience, which has taught me how to work with pets who may be anxious, shy, or adjusting to new environments. Because of that, I’m very comfortable helping animals feel safe and supported. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I can help reinforce basic training, routines, and positive behaviors. With senior pets, I’m extra gentle, patient, and attentive to things like mobility, medications, and comfort. Overall, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone you can truly trust with your pet. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am unavailable mondays and Wednesdays but available all day on Saturday and Sunday. I can work after 4:30pm on Tuesday Thursday and Friday :) Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or stopping by for visits, I do everything I can to make the experience feel calm, consistent, and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and playtime. I make sure doors are secure, hazards are avoided, and your pet is always supervised and safe. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. I’m very attentive to behavior and body language, which helps me quickly notice if something feels off. My background as a caregiver has made me especially detail-oriented, patient, and calm in any situation. Cleanliness is also very important to me—I keep feeding areas, litter boxes, and living spaces clean and comfortable at all times. Overall, I aim to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels relaxed and cared for, and where you can have complete peace of mind.
“Sarah is an amazing dog walker. Our dog can be a bit uneasy meeting new people, but Sarah knew exactly how to approach her and make quick friends. She was very communicative and professional. We will absolutely book with Sarah again!”
About: I've grew up with dogs and have been responsible for taking care of them, including feeding, walking/running & playing/taking outside, bathing, and more. I have experience giving older dogs medicine, both orally and injections (especially insulin for diabetic dogs). One of my dogs developed hip dysplasia and cancer at her older age, so I am experienced with caring for senior dogs in need of extra attention. Additionally, I often pet sit for family and friends and am trusted to ensure not only their basic needs are met (clean water, food, bathroom breaks/walks), but also they receive attention and affection while their owners are away. I'm currently home for the summer as a college student and I'm unable to get a job with a set schedule because I have surgery coming up which takes a huge chunk out of my summer but I'm available for the entirety of June and first week of July. I can basically be free whenever needed, weekdays and weekends! Since I have cats at my house, I don't care for client's pets in my own home to minimize conflict. In clients homes I follow whatever rules laid out for their animals, ensuring they're fed at the proper intervals, always have clean water (and litter boxes if used). If applicable, I like to go outside with the pets to play with them and make sure they get needed stimulation. I take them on walks (and of course clean up after them), and runs when applicable. I also like to make sure the animals get lots affection (as long as approved by their owners) to make sure they're not lonely while away!
“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: A daughter of a retired vet technician and assistant in a grooming spa, I will pay close attention to your pet and their needs. I am a mother of two animal respecting children whose dog passed away a little six years ago ( he was 12). While we are not ready for a pet of our own we still have so much fur baby love to give and would like to give that fun and love to your pet! I am happy to stick to any special diet needs or parameters you set for your pet. In my care you can feel reassured that your pet will be watched closely and given as much affection or quiet time as they desire. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may want to. Also if you are looking for an extended stay ( 3 or more weeks) for you pet please reach out to me so that we may negotiate a fair rate that would work for both of us, as I am happy to accommodate almost any situation. I am a professional pet care provider and my schedule is 100 % committed to the pets in our care outside of errands I may need to run. I have a secured fenced in play area built I'm my back yard that is 30 ft by 30 ft for us to play safely.

About: I am a semi retired veterinary assistant with nearly 20 years professional experience and a passion for caring for animals. As a life long pet owner myself, I know how hard and stressful it can be to leave your pets at home. I appreciate and respect the trust that every owner puts in me when they contact me to care for their animal. I can give medications if needed, including injections. Also have worked in shelters and volunteer at rescues. I have taken care of senior dogs and cats. Feeding, walking, playing or if they have any special needs is not a problem. I have a flexible schedule and open to working with you to arrange drop in visits. Mid morning through later afternoons are open for me. If you need another time, just let me know. I'm happy to do whatever your pets need, whether they want to play, walk or just hang out. If they are a little shy and need time to get used to me is totally understandable, I will follow their cues. I will take my time to learn what they need and adapt to them. The goal is always to keep them as stress free as possible.
“I can tell she truly loves animals. Xander usually barks at strangers but he was very calm with her. It was a very smooth experience with her and I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much ❤️”

About: "I have a deep love for animals and years of experience caring for pets. Family and friends have always trusted me to watch, feed, walk, and love their dogs. I specialize in providing a calm, structured, and incredibly safe environment for small and medium adult dogs. Your pup will receive constant attention, plenty of playtime, and treated just like family while staying with me." "I currently work part-time, which gives me a very steady routine and plenty of open flexibility to be home with your dog. I am always mindful of my time management to ensure your pet gets consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and lots of individual attention. I have plenty of dedicated time to play, go for walks, and make sure your pup feels completely safe, happy, and pampered while you are away." Safety is my highest priority when caring for your pet. My home is a clean, calm, and smoke-free environment with plenty of open space for small and medium dogs to feel entirely at ease. I maintain a secure setup to ensure no escapes, provide constant direct supervision, and strictly follow any specific care, feeding, or routine instructions you provide to keep your pup happy and safe."
About: Hi, I’m Jessica. My love for animal care started in 2018 when my family rescued our dog, Chase, from a puppy mill in Pennsylvania. Helping him feel safe, understood, and confident pushed me to learn more about dog body language, temperament, leash behavior, and how to care for each dog based on their needs. I originally entered college as a pre-veterinary Animal Science major and gained hands-on experience with animals, including sheep. I also competed in UConn’s Little I competition and placed second. Later, I shifted toward human medicine and changed my major to Allied Health Sciences on the pre-med track, but my love for animals never left. I also worked as a kennel assistant, where I cared for pets in a boarding environment and learned how important routine, safety, patience, and clear instructions are. Dogs are my strongest area, but I also have experience with cats and small animals through feeding and basic care. For pets with more specific needs, I’m very willing to learn and follow your instructions carefully. Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know their routine, temperament, walking style, triggers, favorite activities, nervous habits, and how they do around other dogs, cats, strangers, children, loud noises, or new environments. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, reactive, slow to warm up, or just very particular, I’d rather know upfront so I can care for them safely and calmly. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, companionship, and basic routine reinforcement. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m happy to follow the commands and routines you already use. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving you clear updates and peace of mind. My schedule is currently flexible, especially for drop-ins and walks. I’m usually available during morning, afternoon, and evening time blocks, and I do my best to plan visits in a way that gives each pet enough time, patience, and attention. I’m also happy to discuss your pet’s usual routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. In a client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I pay attention to doors, gates, leashes, food instructions, litter areas, water bowls, and anything the owner tells me is important. I also like to know about each pet’s temperament, triggers, hiding spots, leash behavior, and comfort level with new people so I can keep the visit safe and calm. For walks, I make sure pets are securely leashed before leaving the home and avoid unnecessary interactions with unknown dogs or people unless the owner says otherwise. I’m patient with shy, nervous, excited, or slower-to-warm-up pets, and I’d rather move carefully than rush them. I’ll also send clear updates, so you know how your pet is doing.
About: Hi! My name is Isaiah, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands on experience caring for a wide variety of pets. I currently have two cats, Sharpay and Stevie, and a dog named Sterling, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve raised and looked after pigs, bearded dragons, bunnies, and fish. This experience has taught me how to adapt to different personalities, routines, and care needs whether that’s energetic playtime, gentle handling, or maintaining specific feeding and habitat routines. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure you have peace of mind with updates and communication. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I currently work part-time as a Certified Nursing Assistant (just 2 days a week), which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability for pet care. I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules and can be dependable for walks, drop ins, or extended stays. Your pet will get lots of attention, care, and consistency! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so I can provide consistent, stress free care. I closely monitor behavior, ensure secure environments (leashes, doors, and harnesses are always double-checked), and keep a calm, patient approach especially with shy or anxious pets. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know your pet is safe and happy
About: I am a grad student and can be very flexible with scheduling. Where I live currently does not permit animals so I have all the more love and attention to give to your furry friends. I grew up with a dog of my own for many years and now have several recurring families I pet sit for. I love running in nice weather and would be thrilled to bring your pets along. If your fur baby is a little older and doesn't have as much energy I am just as happy to lounge in the sun and spend some relaxing quality time with them. As a grad student with classes at night or online I have very flexible availability and plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I do not currently offer boarding or sitting at my residence. However, I always follow owner instructions regarding proper crating, harness use, and the pets' comfort level around people and other animals.

“Best pet sitter ever!!!! Liz went above and beyond and took great care of my Boston Terrier!! 10/10 stars! Will be using her again for all my future pet sitting!!! Liz took the time at least once a day on my 18 day booking to send updates on potty, treats, feeding, playtime/walks as well as send photos of my dog! She treated Mickey like family. Couldn’t have had a better experience!!”
“I love the instant connection that Bruce had with Mr. Biggs I was made comfortable and consistently reassured that Biggs was in good health and spirits throughout his stay. Would highly recommend and also book again!!”
“Saori has been so patient and caring with our Pomsky puppy. Since we work from home, I was concerned he wasn’t socializing enough and of course he has lots of energy. Daycare with Saori will be a big help in our journey together. We got really lucky finding her right from the start.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“This family is absolutely wonderful. They watched our two dogs for the first time for 6 nights. One of my dogs is a senior and the other has epilepsy and needs medicine twice a day. This family took great care of the two of them and sent me daily updates and pictures. I will definitely book again with them!!”
“Claudia was perfect for our dog. She understood her needs and provided her with great care. She sent me pictures and gave me updates on how she was doing throughout the week. When we picked our dog up she looked beautiful. She was groomed and seemed extremely fit. We will definitely use her services for our next trip / event.”
“Yajaira was an excellent pet sitter! She kept our dog active with walks and sent frequent updates/pictures during our puppy’s stay with her. She responded right away every time we contacted her. I would absolutely recommend her services! Thanks again Yajaira.”
“Erika took care of our Baby “Rydah” She sent regular updates along with photos, meal times, and Rydah’s walking schedule. We WILL be using Erika again. Strongly recommend her to any other family. Thanks Erika Rydah will see you soon!”
“Kathryn is probably the best Rover sitter we’ve had (and we’ve used some lovely sitters). Our dogs are anxious when they’re left, and Kathryn really helped them feel at ease - her fenced yard was perfect and they just seemed to trust her. I’d highly recommend booking your pet’s stay with her!”
“Second time buddy stayed with Brittany and her family and he had a good time. He didn’t come home clingy or anxious. Brittany kept me updated with lovely glamour shot of Buddy throughout the stay. Would recommend her without any reservations.”
“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.”
“I can't say enough great things about our experiences with Jennifer. I've left my dog Peachy with her 3 times now, this last time being over a week. I got so many picture and video updates throughout and I could see how comfortable and happy my Peachy was. Jennifer and her daughter are so wonderful with her and I am very grateful to have found them. The peace of mind I have now while I'm away that my dog is well cared for is worth so much. Also, Jennifer was highly communicative and very flexible when my schedule needed to change last minute. I won't leave Peachy with anyone else now!!”
“Our dog loves staying with Jieun! She is very professional and communicates in a timely manner both before and during visits, but most of all we know our dog is in great hands.”
“Dan and his family are absolutely amazing !!! They are so kind, welcoming, and like an extension of your family while watching your pet. They brought Philo out on the town, wore out her high energy levels with plenty of exercise and gave her such a loving home to stay in. I could not be more thankful for Dan and fam and just hope they can be my go to sitters for Philo!!!”
“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!”
“Karina & Teresa were able to watch my baby in a short notice. I am so grateful to them. They were so loving and caring towards Bennett. They ensured he had a home away from home and kept me updated.”
