“Daisy lived her overnight stay with Saori. She came home happy and super relaxed. I loved getting photo updates throughout her stay. I knew Daisy was in good hands and it helped make my trip so much more enjoyable knowing she was safe and well cared for. I’ll be booking again soon.”
“I’ve never felt so comfortable leaving my dog anywhere. Annette is so kind and loving to all the animals in her care. My dog Hazel had a WONDERFUL time socializing with the other dogs and getting outside on the back porch, which I could see each day on my phone via the pictures Annette texted me. Annette’s boarding and daycare service for dogs has been a great find for us. Thanks, Annette!”
“I was caught in a bind as I was moving and my current place had to cancel due to the weather. This is my first time using Rover and I needed to find someone to watch my pup. River is a bit reserved and can be very nervous. Pam is a life saver. She sent pictures throughout her visit and I was completely at ease during a very stressful move. I will definitely recommend Pam and will reach out to her again whenever I need a sitter for my girl. Thanks a million. You are the best!!!”
“Jessica and Ian are great dog people! Their welcoming atmosphere, frequent updates, and genuine affection for animals gives me peace of mind when I board my dog with them. They've got a safe & puppy-proof environment and my puppy is always in a good mood after staying with them. We are repeat customers and plan to keep it that way for a long time :)”

“Rich is great! We were so at ease leaving our pup with Rich. He truly loves dogs and is a wonderful caregiver. He sent numerous updates and photos so we felt very comfortable on our vacation. I highly recommend Rich. We will absolutely use him again.”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care you gave Cloud while we were away! You went above and beyond—keeping us updated the whole time and sending the sweetest pictures that truly put our mind at ease. It was clear he was in great hands. Til next time!”
“I've used Veronica at least a couple times at this point and she has been nothing less thank fantastic. She has been fantastic at communication, great at scheduling room, and took amazing care of my Mika! Definitely bwill contact her again and I would encourage anyone to do the same.”

“Sue was absolutely wonderful with Ollie! She was kind, attentive, and took great care of him throughout his stay. Communication was effortless, as she was always prompt with her replies and kept us reassured with regular updates. We also really appreciated how flexible she was with her schedule, easily accommodating our drop off and pick up times. Ollie had a fantastic time with her, and we could not have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Sue to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Jessica was great at watching Gwen! She was able to accommodate our last-minute request after another sitter cancelled. She was very communicative about Gwen’s stay and sent plenty of photos and updates. She took great care of our little pup!”
“I cannot recommend Stephen enough. He took amazing care of our Buddy while we were away. He communicated and sent us videos and updates every day. He was cautious when introducing Buddy to the other dogs in his care and we had a meet and greet prior to the stay which I appreciate, he goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in his care are compatible to keep all dogs safe. I look forward to using him in the future and I know Buddy will too. You can see that dogs in Stephens care are treated as his own and that is so comforting when leaving your dog in his care.”
“Olga and her family were excellent hosts for my little Meisha. I could tell she had a fabulous stay, and they made sure she was comfortable and happy. Will definitely try to book with them in the future.”
“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.”
“Donna is absolutely great, very nice, accommodating and very punctual. She sent many pictures with our dog, who seemed very happy and well taken care of. We are very pleased to have met her and shall definitely contact her again for future bookings. Thank you, Donna!”
“I was so glad to have found Mary Ann on Rover to watch our dog Piper for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. On our initial visit with Mary Ann, I knew this was a great fit for Piper. She is such a sweet, caring, knowledgeable woman that I knew would take wonderful care of my dog. This was the first time using Rover as I was not comfortable leaving her in a kennel again for this long as my dog gets very anxious and sad when we are away and my usual in house dog sitter was with us on vacation. Mary Ann lives just 10 minutes from my house with a lovely fenced in side yard for her to go to the bathroom outside and just run around not being on a leash, which is just like home. Also being able to jump on the furniture and the beds was a plus too, again just like home. And she did not have any issues getting too anxious which is what I was hoping for. It was a perfect fit and a great find. I would not hesitate to book with Mary Ann again.”
“I had an exceptional experience. Mildred was so kind and responsive to all my inquiries. I was a little nervous leaving my Max since he's only been with my daughter and I for a few months. but he was well taken care of! I will definitely recommend Mildred for boarding services, and I will be definitely using her in the future. Thanks again Mildred :-)”

“Emily is sweet and loving. She clearly loves animals and our two pups love her. Emily is dependable and prompt and quickly responds. We are planning to have her back on regular schedule.”
About: I’ve always loved spending time with cats and understand that each one has their own unique personality. I’ve had two cats of my own, so I’m experienced with daily care, including feeding, cleaning litter boxes, grooming, and cleaning up the occasional hairball. I enjoy playing with cats, giving them attention at their own pace, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. Whether your cat is outgoing and playful or shy and independent, I’m happy to adapt to their temperament and provide patient, loving care.
About: I've had cats my entire life and I always plan to. One of the best parts of my daily life is coming home to, waking up to and going to sleep with them. I'm accustomed to all different personalities, being as I have two opposites at home right now (one sweet and loving, and one who shows love in a different slightly more painful way). You can trust in me to love your cats as my own and cater to all their needs!
“Timothy was a great sitter for our elderly cat. He was patient, kind and easily administered medication for our fur guy. We absolutely will hire Timothy again when we’re out of town and know our cat Stoopy would be in good hands.”
“Ashley was amazing! We were in constant communication, she sent a ton of pictures, and I could enjoy being away knowing my three kitties were well taken care of. There was inclement weather and she still found a way to get to my place and take care of my kitties. Thank you so much Ashley!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat sitter Rachel provided! She did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in loving and capable hands. She kept us updated, was attentive to their needs, and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy. Because of her, we were able to truly enjoy our vacation without worry. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be reaching out again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Stephen is amazing! He’s well-versed with large breeds, and we were so happy to find someone experienced who Bowser absolutely loves walking with. He’s always punctual, and after just two walks, Bowser is already so excited to see him! It’s hard to find someone you can truly trust with your dog, and Stephen is definitely that person. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi my name is Cory! I love dogs and they seem to know it right away. I have been around dogs since I was 4 years old. I have owned 2 akitas and an English bulldog . My latest Akita Diablo passed away 5 years ago and I haven't gotten another dog since his passing so currently I have no dogs. I only have chinchillas and a hamster as of now. I have a lot of experience working with dogs and they seem to feel relaxed and comfortable when in my care, making this the perfect job for me. I know how to approach these animals in a way that is non-threatening to reduce their anxiety and to help them relax. I can help to maintain the routine they are used to, so they will not get anxious or feel so alone while their owners are away. I have extensive knowledge concerning the different breeds of dogs and I know how to take care of them properly. I understand that some breeds have special needs and that the age of the dog will play a major role in how to take care of them. You can depend on me to provide excellent service and to take great care of your dog/dogs. I know what questions to ask to make sure I understand their specific needs. I will be full time dedicated to your furry child, providing walks and play time as much as needed! There is nothing I wouldn't do to make your dog feel comfortable and keep their schedule to your liking. Please provide a list with your dog's habits so I can make sure they feel at home. Don't hesitate to contact me, I am very flexible with my time, and I will love and care for your dog as my own. I'm currently off from work during the summer and during the school year I only work part time at an elementary school down the road from me (2 1/2 hrs) , So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I will do anything to make your pup feel comfortable and at home away from home during his stay with me. I love detailed instructions so please feel free to let me know everything about your pet! I have a fenced in yard and 2 children who are huge dog lovers who would love to keep your dog(s) busy and keep them company!

About: I've cared for cats for friends, family, and my own pets over the years, and I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. I also gained hands-on experience in an animal hospital setting, where I learned how to safely handle animals and pay close attention to their comfort and well-being. Whether your cat needs fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply someone to keep them company while you're away, I'll make sure they receive the same love and care I give my own cats. I'll also send photo and text updates after every visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“My dog loves to go to Stephen’s for doggie daycare and comes home tired from her day there. I feel comfortable having her there and I will be using Stephen again to watch my pup.”
About: 4 years of experience working at a veterinarian office and lifetime pet owner with no current pets. Let me care for your pet like I cared for mine. Work from home, single adult with no children or pets(yet🤣) able to walk local with lots of parks and trails if longer walks are desired.

“Kennedy has a fabulous time with Samantha and Michael and their adorable kids! We got updates and pictures and they were very quick to respond. We were very happy and would highly recommend them! Kennedy would love to come back to play!”
About: We have our own dog, she is 1 year old. We garentee the best play mate for your pet. We like to spend time playing and training outside. I'm currently working part-time from home. So I have a lot of free time. Also we do have our own dog and we spend a lot of time outside or inside playing together. We don't have a fence but there are so many trails and parks around where we live. We like to take long walks at least once a day.
About: Hello! I’ve worked in many animal related industries including boarding and LLivestock management. This has given me ample experience in care and a nuanced understanding of animal emotion and signals. I provide attentive care and seek to accommodate the individual needs of all animals in my care. They will be well-watched and cared for! I work from home with my sweet dog Rae. We take frequent potty breaks and time to chase sticks and toys. Dog care is built into my schedule, which is flexible to accommodate any needs your dog might have. Our large yard is not fenced but we keep an avid eye on all dogs at play. If desired, we have a tracker collar that gives us live updates of their location to ensure extra precautions. If your dog loves to run and play they will have play of space to do so! Rae is a great play companion but also gives other dogs space if they would like.
“Isabelle was great with Jimmy! We just moved to the area and she was able to watch our dog for the day and she was great about sending updates and letting us know how he was doing.”
“We were in town for an event and needed someone to watch our 5 month old puppy for the day. Christine was perfect! She is so nice and has a friendly boxer puppy. My puppy can be aloof with strangers but he took to Christine immediately even letting her hold him right away. Christine's yard is perfect and our puppies played all day. I would go back to Christine's anytime we are back in Queens.”
“Briana was amazing! We came from California to NY and was our first time traveling with Miklo. It was a great experience! I would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a good pet nanny in the Patterson area, she was super sweet and very communicative and from the looks of it my pup looked like he had the best time!! It was my first time using Rover, but thanks to this experience I’m looking forward to booking again! Thanks Briana!! <3”
About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember! Currently an owner of a frenchie and yellow lab! Always been a dog lover and would love to spend time with your pups too! I’m currently in part time online schooling for my masters in social work so scheduling is not an issue for me! Have a pretty available schedule during the week! I am looking to do dog walks and many play dates! Always open to bringing my friendly frenchie doggo along for extra fun if allowed!
“Nicole took such a good care of Mochi, we are so grateful! She sent me updates with photos, videos and texts of Mochi. We got back a happy dog. We ll definitely use Nicole’s services again. Many thanks!”

“Highly recommend! My baby was well taken care of! Tinaclem was super friendly. When we arrived she introduced her dog with mine and brought them both to the back yard so she can get familiar with the yard and was very welcoming! Many walks and lots of pics for updates! ❤️My baby was pooped for days! She already misses Elvis! Sweet dog she has!”
“Loretta kindly accepted a last minute booking for my two dogs. They showed none of their usual anxiety when I leave, and were calm and happy as clams when I picked them up. This is definitely a place where dogs feel welcome and at ease. I will not hesitate to call Loretta again.”
“Nicole was great with my dog Annie for our doggy day care trial run for a future Annie boarding. This is the first time that I've been away from my dog in quite some time and Nicole was equally great at easing my anxiety. Nicole has a natural presence around Annie and is solid in picking up her behavior and it was an overall nice and comfortable experience. Thank you!”
“Laura is great! I was passing through the area for an interview and reached out to Laura to see if she could watch Clementine for a few hours. She's got a great set up with a 6-foot fenced in area for the dogs to run around. I would definitely use her services again!”

“Rachel has been great with my dog Hazel. She is great at communicating and letting me know the little details of the visit beyond just the path and basic report. I feel confident that my dog is in good hands while I am at work.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals throughout my life and have cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities, from small and shy to big, energetic, and outgoing. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable adapting my approach to each pet rather than expecting every animal to respond the same way. I’m confident caring for both small and large breeds, energetic puppies, adult pets, and seniors who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following specific feeding, exercise, or care instructions. I understand that shy or anxious pets may need time and space to build trust, while more outgoing pets might be ready for playtime the second I walk through the door! Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll pay attention to the little things, keep their routine as familiar as possible, and provide plenty of love, patience, and reassurance. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so you can expect reliable communication and updates while your furry family member is in my care. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m happy to work around each pet’s established schedule, whether that means morning or evening walks, regular potty breaks, feeding times, medication, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their favorite humans are away, so I make maintaining their normal routine a priority. Whether your pet needs lots of activity and attention or prefers a quieter day filled with naps and cuddles, I’m happy to adjust my schedule to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. 🐾❤️ When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I want them to feel like their routine hasn’t skipped a beat. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from meals, walks, potty breaks, and medications to favorite toys, sleeping spots, and all those little quirks that make your pet uniquely yours. 🐾 Having owned and cared for animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities throughout my life, I’m comfortable with the shy ones who need time to trust, the big personalities who want to play nonstop, and the seniors who just want some extra patience and love. I also know you’re trusting me with two things that mean a lot to you: your pet and your home. I’ll treat both with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Expect plenty of love, attention, photos, and updates, because being away from your pet is much easier when you can actually see that happy face! ❤️🐶🐱
About: Growing up, I had a Lab and then a Boxer and two cats. I've also helped my aunt at the doggie daycare she runs out of her home where she often has more than 10 dogs at a time. Everything from a Great Pyrenees to German Shepherds to Doodles to Yorkies. And it's always so much fun! The care I'll give your pets will really depend on them and their needs. There's a very large unfenced grass area behind my apartment building that would be perfect for walks or play. And there are multiple parks in the area too we could explore. At yours, I'd keep whatever their normal routine is. Whether that's taking walks, throwing the ball or just sitting and chilling and scratching butts. Their butts of course!

About: I've had cats my entire life & I have a few years experience pet sitting for and walking dogs and would love for it to become a regular part of my life again. I enjoy spending time with animals sometimes more than people. I'm a college student and a caregiver currently so feel free to reach out with questions about availability. I have a constantly changing schedule and I may be available more than what's marked here. I take care of my own 2 cats daily, and I'd love to take care of more pets in between my work hours or on my days off. I've been in an environment with animals as long as I can remember feeding them, scooping litter boxes, and my favorites giving love, and playing.

About: I've been taking care of my own dog since we first got her 7 years ago, and I also used to volunteer at the New Milford Animal Shelter. My family fosters animals (both cats and dogs) from Because 4 Paws in New Milford, so I have some basic experience with administering medicines and helping others administer medicines. I've also been a dog sitter for 3 different families. I recently moved back to the east coast and am looking for some side work while I hunt for a full time job. I'm not sure when that will be, so I'm trying not to set my availability too far out, but am still flexible for now! Depending on what the owners are comfortable with, I would love to take the dogs out for a walk at a nearby park or walking trail. We have four cats at our house that are wary of new animals, so I am unable to pet sit at my residence. However, I am willing to spend time with your fur babies at your house or preferred location, and will follow whatever instructions necessary to ensure the comfortability of you and your pets.

About: Choosing a sitter is about more than just a check-in; it’s about finding a calm, capable environment where your pet feels truly understood. My background in healthcare naturally informs how I care for animals—I tend to be an observant caregiver, keeping a watchful eye on comfort levels and the small details that matter for a pet’s well-being. As a working-from-home mom, my days are rooted in a reliable routine. This allows me to provide the consistent, low-stress supervision that is so helpful for all animals who need a little extra help and those who require a patient, intuitive touch to feel at home. I have experience caring for a wide range of needs and species—from the high energy of puppies to the quiet companionship of seniors, the unique needs of rescues, and even farm friends like chickens. Whether it's keeping a medication schedule on track, assisting with mobility challenges, or simply providing a quiet space for a nervous soul to decompress, I focus on creating a safe, gentle environment where every animal in my care can truly relax. If for some reason (vacations/getaways) we are unavailable it will be marked on the calendar. I do my best to confirm my calendar and availability daily. Our front and back yard is fenced in and we are set back from the road. There is plenty of room to run and play. As for feeding; All dogs and/or cats will be fed separately. This includes treats.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I could walk, so caring for animals has always felt second nature. I also volunteer as a dog walker, socializer, and trainer at Danbury Animal Welfare Society, where I work with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. My style is calm, patient, and attentive, whether your dog needs a real exercise walk, your cat needs a quiet check-in, or your older pet just needs someone gentle and consistent. I know trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big deal, so I take reliability seriously. I’ll show up when I say I will, pay attention to your pet’s routine, and send clear updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and cared for. I currently work full time, but my evenings and weekends are often free. I’m a good fit for weekend walks, evening check-ins, drop-in visits, and occasional pet care when your regular routine needs extra support. Because I value reliability, I only accept bookings I know I can show up for fully and on time. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language, comfort level, routines, and boundaries, and I never force interactions with people, dogs, or unfamiliar situations. For walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and adjust the pace to the dog’s age, energy, and temperament. I’m comfortable with shy, anxious, energetic, and older pets, and I believe patience and consistency go a long way. For drop-ins, I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, check food, water, litter, doors, and gates, and send clear updates so you know how your pet is doing.

“I cannot recommend Stephen enough. He took amazing care of our Buddy while we were away. He communicated and sent us videos and updates every day. He was cautious when introducing Buddy to the other dogs in his care and we had a meet and greet prior to the stay which I appreciate, he goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in his care are compatible to keep all dogs safe. I look forward to using him in the future and I know Buddy will too. You can see that dogs in Stephens care are treated as his own and that is so comforting when leaving your dog in his care.”

We will definitely book with them again.”

“Ryan was great with our dog, Sprint! He was very responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, which we really appreciated while we were away on vacation.

We felt like Sprint was in great hands and would definitely use Ryan again!”
