About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. We currently have a sweet 9-year-old small dog who has been part of my life since puppyhood. I personally raised and potty-trained her, so I understand the patience, consistency, and care that goes into helping a dog feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I’ve also cared for many of my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs over the years. When your dog stays with me, they won’t simply be “boarded”—they’ll be welcomed into a loving home. From the moment they arrive, I’ll treat them like one of my own, with lots of love, attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m dependable, responsible, and will make your dog’s comfort and happiness a priority. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for, loved, and treated like family while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. As a result, my schedule is quite flexible to meet the needs of you and your fur baby I have a very large yard and a 9 year old gentle, sweet dog. Although I have a large yard, I always keep my dog leashed and I would do the same for yours to ensure safety. My home is on a quiet cul-de-sac in a private neighborhood that is perfect for walks.

My female cocker spaniel was fully trained by me, and my male dog knows a few tricks.
“You will not find a better person to care for your pet. Kristen is caring, attentive, and exactly the type of person I needed to care for my high energy pup while I'm at work. She cares and wants to do what is the best for you and your pet. So happy to have met her, you will not be disappointed!”

We will enjoy walks and playtime, and of course cuddles. As a care taker of your pet at your home I am ready and able to take precautions or crate your dog if that is something you do. I am a very reliable and trustworthy person and will do my best to love and take care of your pup as much as I would mine.
“Sarah was great with my kitty! She stopped by to meet her before my travels and to find out details about her care. While I was away, Sarah stopped by on schedule and gave me reports on BNG’s activities, including pics as well. She also went the extra mile and did me the favor of looking around the exterior of my home for a package that was delivered during construction of a new front walkway. Sarah really cares about the pets she takes care of, as well as their humans! I highly recommend her and will request her services again as needed.”

“Lauren is fantastic. She’s dependable, clearly loves dogs, and takes great care of them at daycare. My pup always comes home happy and tired from a great day. Highly recommend.”
“Renata took such good care of our pup. She put her at ease when she was nervous. Once our pup settled in, she kept me updated and then captured all the fun moments of playing and silliness. Our girl had the best time and was exhausted from playing so much. Such a wonderful experience!”

“Maria was amazing! I genuinely can’t say enough good things about her and would highly recommend her to anybody who wants someone to care for their pets. Maria was extremely communicative and very easy to talk to and coordinate with. She also sent multiple updates throughout the day with photos and videos of our sweet boy. We will certainly be reaching back out to Maria anytime we need somebody to watch our pup. We already have multiple other days set up with her and I know that our sweet boy is looking forward to seeing her again!”
About: I am a huge animal person and have been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a 7 year old (30lb) dog that we rescued as a puppy. She is a sweet girl and is use to having a companion (since we also had a spaniel for 17 years that recently passed away) so she is comfortable with other dogs. We also foster puppies and have experience with many different breeds and personalities! While you're away, working, or just have other plans that can't include your pet, he or she is welcome to stay with us or I can come to you. Either way, I will strive to make your furry family member feel comfortable and cared for. During the day, your pet will get plenty of attention. I currently work from home full time, which allows more flexibility with outside breaks and neighborhood walks. While I work, I will be in the same room as your pet so they will never feel alone. As far as basic care and house rules go, their feeding schedule can be flexible and adjusted to match his/her schedule at home. They are allow to roam the main areas of our home and snuggle up on the couch as they wish!
“Chiko always has a great time with Janelle and her family! I love that we pick him up happy but not overstimulated, and we get constant updates throughout the day so we always know he’s in good hands.”
“Lisa was the best dog sitter. She was friendly, kind, and communicative. She helped us out so last minute. She took great care of our little Hunter. This was my first time using rover and I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone. She responded to my concerned mom texts and sent pics of our pup hanging out outside. Hunter was smiling, happy, and seemed worn out after his stay with Lisa. We cannot thank her enough for all her help. Thank you so much Lisa!!!!! ?”
“Nazim is fantastic! He is professional, communicative, and calm. My dog Duke liked Nazim and the other dogs right away. The big fenced back yard and dog-friendly home made for a perfect doggie daycare experience. I appreciated receiving photos throughout the day, and a happy dog at pickup time. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I’m currently a veterinary technician and able to give any medications your pet may need while you’re away:) Whether it’s letting them out, going for walks, playing, bathing, feeding, or simply keeping them company while you’re away, I’m the one for all your dog needs. Along with dogs I’ve also cared for many different animals from ones you find on a farm to some with scales and will be sure to provide the best care for all and treat them as my own<3 I work full time at a vet hospital as a vet tech student but would have plenty of time to spend with your pets after work and am able to take them to work with me! Available to spend all night with your pets and able to take them on adventures. While you’re away I’ll be sure to keep their tails wagging!

If your pets require extra attention at home I will be sure to give them all the love and care they need.
About: I have been asked to take care of dogs/cats while family have been out of town on many occasions I have 3 of my own cats and niece and nephew cat (yes) lol also two puppers that are family a newphie and great Pyrenees. Animals are my family and I feel happier with them than I do with people. Depending on location I can be available when needed. I work from home I can be flexible as long as I am communicated with in a timely manner As I have three cats I wouldn’t be able to bring any other pets into my home as they are rescues who have severe anxiety and to keep my fur babies safe I would ask that they be respected and I can only make home visits. Thank you !
About: Even though I don't have a lot of certified training, I know how to show my love and affection to each and everyone pets just like I have in the past for my own. I am currently unemployed, and I will be starting to go back to school in the fall semester of this year, so my availability is kind of flexible during the week, except for Wednesday's Thursday and Sunday. I will treat every one's pet with love, care, respect and patience that they need and treat them as one of my own family members.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of genuine care, attentiveness, and patience I bring to every pet I work with. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I have experience with a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies who need consistent training and structure, to senior dogs requiring gentle handling, medication, and a slower pace. I’m confident in reading animal behavior and adjusting to their needs, whether that means helping a shy pet come out of their shell or keeping a high-energy pup mentally and physically stimulated. I’m also reliable, clean, and communicative with pet parents so you always feel at ease while you’re away. I’m currently home for the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility and time to dedicate to your furry friend! I absolutely love getting my steps in—so walks, playtime, and keeping your pet active are right up my alley. Whether it’s a game of tug-of-war, fetch, or working their brain with fun puzzles, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. What sets me apart is the energy and attentiveness I bring to every visit. I don’t just “watch” pets—I engage with them, connect with them, and make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether your pup needs structured walks or your senior dog needs a little extra care and patience, I’ve got them covered. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make it a priority to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet can thrive. In my home, I keep things clean, cozy, and pet-friendly. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and even snuggle time. I make sure they feel like part of the family, with lots of attention, enrichment, and love throughout the day.

“Melissa is awesome!! She did such a wonderful job watching our elderly Weimaraner and our very active golden. She took our energetic guy on walks daily and took great care of both dogs while we were away. Melissa was great communicating with us while we were away. We could relax and enjoy our vacation and didn’t have to worry about our pups. They were in such great hands. We highly recommend Melissa if you are looking for a loving, responsible person to care for your pets!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely love.

“Wonderful dog walkers. Pat was critical to helping me successfully interview for a job (including full days of Zoom) without whiny dogs in the background and was highly responsive and flexible in scheduling. We are looking forward to boarding our dogs with them and only wish they had greater availability (but of course, top dog walkers/boarders are busy!).”

“Sarah is amazing! Provided all the details about walks with pictures, was always on time and took care of my pup in the best way possible! Totally recommend her services and will definitely be working with her in the future!!”
“Isabel is excellent! She came over to meet the dogs in advance and left me with a ton of confidence that my dogs would be well taken care of. She provided constant communication including when she arrived, if they went to the bathroom, if she gave them treats (which I gave her permission to do), and when she left. I will definitely ask her to walk the dogs again!”
“Samantha was on time very morning to walk our dogs, was great about staying in touch with updates and photos. She was also super patient with our one pup who has been healing from a wounded shoulder so could/would only walk short distances. She was flexible and adaptable to make sure she still got attention. We were able to relax during vacation knowing Samantha was there every morning for our doggos.”

About: Hi I’m Hailey! Growing up my family always had both cats and dogs so I’m very comfortable taking care of pets. I have years of experience with both dog and cat sitting for both short and long term stays. I love to be active and take dogs on walks around the neighborhood and can customize my schedule to fit their needs. I work part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I can work based around you and your pet’s needs! Available weekdays as well as weekends. I have dog sat for both large and small dogs before and have no issue with tailoring to their needs. I have years of experience pet sitting for long term stays up to a month for dogs, cats, and chickens alike!
About: I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, birds, rodents and reptiles. I have experience with bottle feeding kittens and training puppies. I am comfortable with administering medications. I am available to run, walk and hike with dogs. I am an independent contractor so extremely flexible with scheduling. I am available early morning, afternoon, evenings and overnight. I am also available on weekends. I am more than happy to schedule a free meet and greet in clients home, prior to first visit or overnight stays. It is extremely important for your pet to be comfortable with me in their home!.

About: Hello pet parents! I find great fulfillment in caring for and nurturing your pets. Caring for pets also gives me a wonderful outlet to indulge my intense and immense love for dogs! While I might lack decades of experience working with our furry friends, I believe I more than make up for it with my enthusiasm for learning and affection for doggies! All I can promise is that you shall not regret working with me! I work from home remotely for my day job, which affords me plenty of spare time to spend with your fur babies! The nature of my job also enables me to take my furry friends out for a walk during working hours no problem. I am available for walks and drop in visits on all weekdays; for your dog boarding or house sitting needs, I am available seven days a week. I have a family member living with me who is retired and stays home full time, so there will be at least one responsible adult looking after your precious pet(s) at all times!
About: With over nine years of pet care and dog rescue experience, I offer a level of knowledge and hands-on experience that goes beyond basic pet sitting. My background in rescue has included fostering, transporting rescue dogs, dog walking, screening adoption applications, and working with dogs of many different breeds, temperaments, ages, and backgrounds. I have also completed professional dog-walking training through the Connecticut Humane Society. I have extensive experience with working breeds, powerful dogs, high-drive dogs, and dogs involved in dog sports. My own dogs participate in dog sports, and I understand the physical and mental needs that often come with active, athletic, and highly motivated dogs. I’m comfortable with the dog who needs a long walk, run, hike, structured activity, or extra enrichment—not just a quick trip around the block. At the same time, great care doesn’t always mean doing more. I’m equally happy caring for the senior dog who wants a slow neighborhood stroll and a comfortable place to nap, the young puppy who needs patience and consistency, or the dog who simply wants companionship while their person is away. I tailor my care to the individual dog rather than expecting every dog to fit the same routine. One of the most important parts of my approach is my understanding of canine body language and behavior. I pay close attention to what dogs are communicating, respect their boundaries, and make safety-conscious decisions before a situation becomes a problem. I will never knowingly put your dog in a position where they are uncomfortable, overwhelmed, or set up to fail. I am also experienced caring for dogs with additional medical or behavioral needs, including administering oral and topical medications, providing injections, following detailed care instructions, and accommodating special routines. Whether your dog is an energetic working breed, an adventurous hiking partner, a powerful dog who needs a confident and experienced handler, a puppy, a senior, or a professional couch potato, my goal is the same: to treat them with the same level of care and attention I would want for my own dogs. Your dog’s safety, physical well-being, emotional comfort, and overall experience are always my highest priorities. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I have a full time career but petsit and dog walk whenever my schedule allows. If you’re looking for walks and visits as needed, I’m a great fit! I do not care for other peoples pets in my own home. When watching your dog or cat in your home I will treat them how I would my own. I pay close attention to each individual pets needs and am sure to respect the owners wishes at all times.
About: I have experience from dogs & cats to taking care of horses, for over 20 years. Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. I own one dog and I also foster for Rescuer's Without Boarders. I am willing to take dogs from any age to any training level. Animals are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. Your best friend will be treated as part of the family. Dogs are kept on leashes and harnesses (as owner prefers). Dogs are supervised at all times outside and inside. I can crate your dog as needed or preferred. I work from home most of the time, so I can take in pets during the day. I can do house/pet sitting in your home as well. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. We go out for short walks/potty breaks every few hours. Longer or shorter walks can be accommodated per age/breed/energy level of dog.
About: I am a huge animal person and have been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a 7 year old (30lb) dog that we rescued as a puppy. She is a sweet girl and is use to having a companion (since we also had a spaniel for 17 years that recently passed away) so she is comfortable with other dogs. We also foster puppies and have experience with many different breeds and personalities! While you're away, working, or just have other plans that can't include your pet, he or she is welcome to stay with us or I can come to you. Either way, I will strive to make your furry family member feel comfortable and cared for. During the day, your pet will get plenty of attention. I currently work from home full time, which allows more flexibility with outside breaks and neighborhood walks. While I work, I will be in the same room as your pet so they will never feel alone.

I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. As a result, my schedule is quite flexible to meet the needs of you and your fur baby I have a very large yard and a 9 year old gentle, sweet dog. Although I have a large yard, I always keep my dog leashed and I would do the same for yours to ensure safety. My home is on a quiet cul-de-sac in a private neighborhood that is perfect for walks.
“I believe my dog had a good time thank you so much again. He is an amazing sitter and your dog will be in great care. Just don’t book him when I need him 😂. Honest guy and loves what he does.”
“Ifan is great. Very quick and responsive communication. He is great with our pup and we get daily pictures and updates while he is in Ifan's care. Also came home looking like a stud with a very cute banana. Highly recommend.”
“We recently asked Pat and Susan to watch our 3 y/o EBD overnight as prelude to a week long vacation in a couple months. We have never used a sitter outside of our family, and our girl is our world. It was heartwarming to see her acclimate to them and their home so quickly, and we sincerely appreciated the photos and text updates we received. We are thrilled to have found Pat and Susan!”
“Christle was wonderful! Our 3 dogs were well cared for, we appreciated her sending a picture and letting us know they were all happy! We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Leaf always has a good time at Lauren’s and enjoys playing with her dog Kota. He has stayed there for a dog sitting day and overnights. He comes back tired and happy.”
“Great person!!! She took pictures while my dog was there. I was able to communicate with her without a problem. She let me know how my dog was doing. My dog seemed tk have had a blast. Thank you soo much for taking care of my tip.”
“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
“Maria was amazing!! Our nervous boy was in good hands! Maria was great with our big goofy dog, she gave him the love and attention he needed while we were away. She sent photos and checked in with me often. Definitely highly recommend and will use again! Thanks again Maria!”
“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!”

“This was our first time using the service. Patty made Milo and myself feel comfortable right away. She was very flexible and made everything very convenient. I would have Milo stay with her again!”
“We have used Steve and Deb multiple times now and are always impressed with their prompt responses, friendliness, and treating our pup as one of their own. We've even recommended them to some of our friends, that's how much we love and trust Steve and his family.”
“I feel more than comfortable leaving Eli with Serenity and family. He has stayed with them several times now and always gets so much attention and treated so special. They are also great about sending photo updates. Highly recommend!”
“We asked Kristen to sit our dog Louie at her house for a weekend. She was just great with him--and we could see that from when we first met her. Our dog is a rescue so he can be a bit shy at first, but he warmed up immediately to Kristen. She is trustworthy, friendly, responsive and kind. 10/10 would book with Kristen again!”
