“Claudia did a fabulous job sending us pictures and keeping us updated on our dog child! We had a hard time finding a sitter in VA over the holidays and ended up bringing him up to CT when we visited family for Christmas. We were confident leaving him with Claudia, and would board him with her again if we ever bring him back up to CT!”
“Valerie and her daughter Maddie were amazing for Jameson's first stay at their home. We received several updates and many pictures during his one night stay. Her dogs are super sweet and Jameson enjoyed their company. She has a beautiful property for hikes too. Jameson will definitely be back.”
“Elizabeth has provided the best dog boarding service for my baby boy. I am not exaggerating either. I showed a lot of concern at first, due to a prior bad experience. In return, she was extremely understanding, kind and supportive. She has very welcoming energy and a very sweet personality. Also, her pup Ohana was cute and made the whole process easier. I would absolutely book Elizabeth again for more services in the future!!! Thank you! 10/10 🙂”
“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.”
“We where looking for a Sitter for our two little guys at last minute and Yajaira came to the rescue she is very polite great Communication and flexible with scheduling. We had no worries while out of state for a few days definitely recommend we will continue to use her services in the near future!”

“First time for ur little guy with Rachel. She kept us updated everyday with great pictures and he got his daily walks. He looked happy and when he came home, was perfect!! certainly agree with all other reviews now that we have used Rachel. DEFINITELY will be using again!!”
“1st time using Laura’s services and i must say she was amazing. She was very polite and professional. She took great care of my dog while i was gone and was accommodating. Her setup and grounds were great. She communicated each day with pics and updates. I will use her next time i need her services for sure… thanks again…”
“Jennifer~I wanted to leave more stars than 5!! She was a fantastic “parents are on vacay” substitute…she quickly learned my pups personalities and routine and stuck w/it! I received daily pics/vids/updates about our precious pups,therefore making our trip more relaxing&enjoyable! For wonderful care and peace of mind, I highly recommend Jennifer! Will definitely use her and her doggie charm again❤️”
“We have booked 3 times (4th coming soon) with this lovely family and were thrilled with how much our Luna fell in love with them. Nadine, Daniel and Noah were the absolute best fit for us and our puppy. Luna received the attention she is used to, played ALOT, went on walks and quickly became a part of their family. We have used the daycare and dog sitting service with them. Very clean house, where Luna could roam and explore. I can not express my gratitude enough for this family and for them taking care of our Luna.”
“Sue was great. Really patient and accommodating. My pup was returned to me happy and healthy. Her husband was also very nice and they both seemed very confident and comfortable with my pup who’s a 48lb pittie. Thank you Sue and Franky. We appreciated your care and attention to our fur baby. Sue also sent regular selfies of the pup and was quick to reply to messages.”
“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!”
“Salvo clearly enjoyed his time with Stephanie. She kept me plenty updated with photos throughout the time she watched him. She was very attentive to his needs beyond just eating and sleeping. She made sure he got outside, got to play and interacted well with her pets. I will definitely be trusting Stephanie next time we need someone to watch our dog.”
“Catherine was wonderful with Josie, she attended to every one of her needs and treated her like the true diva that she is! She gave her her drops, her eye drops three times a day on schedule, sent me pictures and videos. I was hoping Josie would a still wanna come home with me and not stay with Catherine.!!!Sue w.”
“Michele was awesome. She’s super friendly and made me feel very comfortable about caring for Hershey. When she was watching him she sent me pictures periodically to let me know that all was well. We will definitely reach out to Michele in the future!!”
“Our dog had a great time with Nicole! He came back happy and healthy. She was very easy to work with especially when our flight was delayed and she had to keep him one more night. Will definitely be using again!”

“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with my pup Harry!! He always came home happy and tired! I had no worries when he was with her. I used her several times over and would absolutely continue if we were still in the area.”
“Anne was super easy to work with and did a great job checking in my cats while I was away! She sent pictures and even managed to coax out my anxious cat which I really did not expect at all. She did some playing with my friendlier girl and made sure all their needs were taken care of. I really appreciate having her stop in and I know that the next time I need a sitter I'll book Anne again! Thank you!”

Since then I’ve become a cat grandmother🙂 Now my daughter and her husband Mike's american shorthair yellow cats (HB and Kenny) are really part lof my family too. In fact they live at my house whenever their parents travel and they are visiting me now!
About: I am a dog owner of two male lab mixed breed dogs. I have previous experience at vet, in home pet care, and puppy training! I am available for local visits or boarding over the summer. Dogs will have access to fenced in yard and deck. Your dog will become part of our family when you are away! I have a fenced in yard and two pups to would love another playmate.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had dogs and cats of my own my whole life. My family currently has two rescue cats, Henry and Willow. I’m available to sit for your pet in your home, for either daily walks and exercise or overnight! I’m very flexible with my schedule and would love to help care for your pet as if they were my own. I am experienced in administering medication, and I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of any age. I’ve also taken care of rabbits, fish, hamsters, birds and guinea pigs.

“There is no one else we trust to care for our fur babies. Erika treats our kitties like her own. We have seniors with special needs and she provides excellent care. We have booked before and will continue to have Erika back.”
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
About: There are multiple reasons why I would be the perfect person to take care of your pet! I worked at Guiding eyes for the Blind where I helped train and care for labs and German shepherds. I have worked at a dog kennel and a veterinary center where I provide top care to the client's pets. I aid dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, healthy to unwell, teacup to gigantic. I have also dog sat for multiple friends for days on end. I currently have a 14 year old lab mix that I have taken care of since I was a teenager. I also have a 2 year old lab pup with tons of energy. I prefer to hike my dogs in the woods and let them explore and chase the squirrels. We play fetch and tug of war. I could do the same with your dog! With this experience, I know that dogs need lots of care and love with some fun and snuggles! I am currently going to school to be an ultrasound technician and would love some extra work on the side. My schedule changes with each semester but the best type of study breaks are outside and playing with fur babies. I will follow your instructions closely on how to properly care for your pet. I will make sure that safety is the number one concern to make sure that everyone is well taken care of.
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.
“Claire was great with my cats and took every measure to ensure they were well cared for. I would recommend her to anyone, especially those with pets who need special attention, and would have her cat sit any time :)”
About: I have personal experience in owning both male and female cats, who were both indoor and outdoor cats. I’ve also cared for pregnant female cats. I understand their body language and behavior very well, and know when they need their space. I raised my current cat, Olive from 6 weeks old and have experience in bottle feeding kittens.
About: I’ve had my own cat for 5 years and truly consider him my baby, so I understand how special cats are. I’ve cared for cats most of my life and love them all. I’m patient and gentle, making sure every cat feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I previously co-founded a dog training business, managing client relationships and operations, but I have since stepped away from it. Prior to that, I worked for Coaching for Paws, a renowned dog training business in northern Connecticut. I have been working with dogs for around five years and have experience with training basic obedience, dog walking, dog sitting, and overall care. I currently have most weekdays free to dedicate to your pups’ needs, which allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company. Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate different care needs and maintain reliable routines for pets, helping them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have lots of experience with different dogs and understand the needs of dogs and owners. I am able to meet any needs or criteria.
“Zarah was very open and flexible for drop offs and pick ups. She sent pictures and our cats seemed as happy as any cat can be when being away from home! We would definitely have her keep our kitties again if needed.”
About: Hi! I’m Courtney, a registered nurse and lifelong cat lover. I grew up with cats and understand their unique personalities—whether they’re playful and social or independent and a little shy. Because of my nursing background, I’m naturally attentive, patient, and detail-oriented. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, litter box care, and any special instructions you provide. I know how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable in their own space, so I take a calm, gentle approach to help them feel at ease while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind, and I will care for your cat the same way I would want someone to care for my own pets—with love, respect, and reliability.

“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”
“Valerie was very warm and welcoming when I brought my dogs over to meet her. This was our first time using Rover.com and leaving our 2 dogs (9 yr female & 5 month male) with a sitter. I was concerned about my female, she is a rescue with some separation anxiety. Valerie was very understanding and felt staying in a home environment instead of a kennel would make a big difference. When picking up, both dogs were very comfortable and at ease in Valerie's home. We will definitely be back.”
“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'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: I am a mom to three human children, six dogs, two cats, and three horses. When my kids were younger, my "me time" was spent volunteering for various rescues and shelters. I love taking care of animals and found so much satisfaction helping out those poor little creatures who had no home to call their own! I loved it so much that I decided to start my own 501c3 nonprofit animal rescue! I figured that in doing so, I could help on a way bigger scale! Additionally, I could put more efforts in to helping people through the love of animals in need! Making the adoption process easy and fun, and making sure the humans and the pets are a wonderful match have made my rescue quite successful! Over the past 11 years I have rescued thousands of dogs, hundreds of cats, and three horses from shelters and other high risk situations! Throughout my years of taking care of pets, I have care for basically every age, breed, size, and temperament! I have also provided care on just about every level...from administering meds, IV treatments, vaccines, basic grooming, and basic training/behavior modifications. I joined Rover because I want to continue helping animals and support pet owners who need someone they can truly trust. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for like family while you’re away. Being able to provide that peace of mind is something I take seriously. Every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care while maintaining the structure and comfort your pet is used to. I also prioritize clear communication so you always feel confident and informed while your pet is in my care. My schedule has a lot of flexibility, and I am a full-time caregiver for these sweet babies! I will always do my best to be available for you and your furry family members! Pets in my home have my full supervision, and when I am unable to have my eye on them, they are either crated or in their own safe space! Our yard is fully fenced!
“Excellent sitter! My 4 month old puppy had a blast and Isabel was super about sending multiple pictures throughout the day. Awesome environment and home for a doggy day care. Definitely recommend.”
“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!”
“Erika and Jason were extremely kind and took such great care of my puppy, Francesca. They sent updates and photos throughout the day, which I really appreciated. She had a wonderful time and came home happy and tired. I would definitely recommend them!”
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.
“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!!!”
“Rich was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. This is coming from a dog mom who was very nervous about leaving her baby. This is the first time for our Romeo and Rich absolutely and completely understood my concern. We had a meet and greet and Rich and Romeo bonded from the very beginning. Romeo spent the day with Rich yesterday and from the photos and videos sent, Romeo had a blast! He did not want to leave. I highly recommend Rich and I am DEFINITELY using him from this point forward. Rich, see you TOMORROW! Thank you for easing me. Knowing Romeo is in good hands is a huge relief.”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up. Over the past 20 years I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, turtles, snakes, and hamsters. I love animals more than most humans. My sister is also a vet which is super handy to have. I currently work from home so I can be present and then I have down time I can play and tend to my furry house guest. I have a room for my dogs with a very bring crate, beds and toys. When I have furry guests I can always alternate my dogs in the room or the furry guest into that room. They could also wonder around the apartment as well. My building complex also has a dog park which is nice to run around and play.

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.

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.

About: Hello! My name is Nita, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who would be delighted to care for your pets as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve had experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, guinea pigs, and even mice. Our beloved Border Collie, Jasmine, was part of our family for 12 wonderful years, and she gave us countless happy memories. I also regularly cared for my grand dog a sweet Lab mix, Benny. I currently share my home with our spirited lovebird, Gourdon Loveblossom, who is 3½ years old. We even had a goldfish named Goldie who recently passed away amazingly at 23 years old! I’m also a proud “grand-cat” sitter for HB and Kenny in Monroe. They especially enjoy being pushed around the neighborhood in their stroller on beautiful days. I walk a minimum of 10,000 steps every day and would truly enjoy having furry companions join me for walks and outdoor time. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, feeding, stroller walks, playtime, or simply gentle loving care while you’re away, I would be happy to help. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and comfort needs, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pets! I have a part time voiceover and photo businesses that I run from my home in Roxbury. I frequently care for my children's pets. I am reliable and punctual, I prefer to live in the same area nearby to my clients. I like to keep my pet care visits in a 10-ish mile radius of my home. This enables me to get to them fast without worrying about traffic, distance or delays.

Pets in my home have my full supervision, and when I am unable to have my eye on them, they are either crated or in their own safe space! Our yard is fully fenced!
“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!”

Available to help anytime especially in the VALLEY AREA ;) Have experience with large breed dogs. Especially love mastiffs. Bulldogs. And french bulldogs. Pitbulls and fast moving dogs I have 2 french bulldogs currently with a fenced yard. And access to seperate dogs. I love animals and can relate to them to ease their anxiety.
About: Began dog walking service when I was a kid. Been talking care of a dog baby of my own for 6 years now. I like to let dogs explore and be animals. I'm not a good dog walker for you if you have them so trained that you have erased their sense of wonder. I take my dog running everyday because that's what dogs need and deserve. I love dogs more than anything and will love yours too. I take my dog to a nearby field to let her run off leash, so I am comfortable taking your dog off leash if you would like that! I am happy to dog sit small dogs in my home and sit any size dogs at your home. Look forward to meeting you! I am a hybrid-remote worker with free time throughout the week and weekends to care for your pup. Happy to help and get some fresh air! I have been a dog walker in the past. Can provide a reference if needed. I am very clean and will wipe your dogs paws and dry their fur so as not to wreck your home in rainy weather and winter months.
About: I adore pets. I've cared for dogs/cats my entire adult life. I'm an expert in senior animal care as well as puppy/kitten care. Dignity's a must. I can't wait to meet and care for your pet! I'm currently a part-time fitness trainer/nutritionist, sculptor & writer, so I have lots of time to care for your pets. My schedule is flexible. Avail. weekdays, weekends, and holidays. While I'm caring for your pet in your home, I am attentive to their needs. I'm especially compassionate with fearful animals. Always loving & gentle.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. I have fostered rescue puppies for five years now. I have also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for two years. I am just graduated from college so I am available throughout the week or weekends. I can start booking appointments after June 9th! This includes dog or cat pet sitting, dog walking, or overnights! I will come to your house to pet sit, dog walk, or stay for extended periods of time to ensure the happiness and safety for your pet. Whatever you and your pet need I will do. My utmost priority is your fur baby!
About: Hi! My name is Courtney, and I’m a registered nurse with a lifelong love for animals. Caring for others is what I do every day—both professionally and personally—and that same level of compassion, attentiveness, and responsibility carries over into how I care for pets. I grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters, and birds. Because of this, I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, needs, and care routines. I currently have a one-year-old dog who means everything to me, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I will treat your animals with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow any specific instructions to maintain your pet’s routine.
About: Hi, my name is Marley, I am currently studying my undergraduate degree at Oregon State University. Since I was 10 years old, I have volunteered at local dog and cat shelters whenever I have a couple open hours within the day: CPR (Companion Pet Rescue, Southbury CT), Heartland Humane Society (Corvallis OR), and Safe Haven Humane Society (Tangent OR). I have been dog sitting and cat sitting for local families for over 5 years just to help out and absolutely love it. I am always responsible of a pet’s health and prioritize them always. I currently have a part-time job where I do not work longer 5 hours in a day, I am also taking classes come September 24, but will easily prioritize checking in on your animals and making the time to care for them! I think that one of the most important jobs as a pet sitter is making sure nothing is rushed, which is why I spend as much time as needed with the animals I watch. I think it is crucial to make sure the animals are happy and healthy both when I arrive and when I leave. I love to take dogs on long walks, play with them outside, and give them the care they need (from feeding to outside time). As for cats, I think they deserve the same amount of attention and I will never pass up the opportunity to give a cat some pets!
About: Nothing makes me happier than to be in the presence of an animal. I will care for your fur baby with the utmost attention and sensitivity they require. I raised my chocolate lab and trained him as a therapy dog to come with me as a hospice volunteer. As he aged, I administered Adequan on a monthly basis to help ease his joint pain. Your pets will be in the best of hands while you are away. I’m an empty nester and eager to establish a community of wonderful animals that I would have the pleasure to visit on an as-needed basis. I am easily able to travel to your home while you are away and care for your pets with the love and attention they require in your absence.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, my first dog was a boxer, second was a miniature schnauzer, and current dog is a cocker spaniel poodle mix. I care deeply about all animals, I’m an environmentalist pet lover. Currently working part time at T-Mobile, my schedule is very flexible so that leaves me with plenty of time to love and care for pets. Strict walking, playing, and feeding schedule. At least thirty minutes of exercise a day, providing lots and lots of love and affection towards my pets every day.

“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.”
“Claudia did a fabulous job sending us pictures and keeping us updated on our dog child! We had a hard time finding a sitter in VA over the holidays and ended up bringing him up to CT when we visited family for Christmas. We were confident leaving him with Claudia, and would board him with her again if we ever bring him back up to CT!”
“Valerie and her daughter Maddie were amazing for Jameson's first stay at their home. We received several updates and many pictures during his one night stay. Her dogs are super sweet and Jameson enjoyed their company. She has a beautiful property for hikes too. Jameson will definitely be back.”
“Elizabeth has provided the best dog boarding service for my baby boy. I am not exaggerating either. I showed a lot of concern at first, due to a prior bad experience. In return, she was extremely understanding, kind and supportive. She has very welcoming energy and a very sweet personality. Also, her pup Ohana was cute and made the whole process easier. I would absolutely book Elizabeth again for more services in the future!!! Thank you! 10/10 🙂”
“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.”
“We where looking for a Sitter for our two little guys at last minute and Yajaira came to the rescue she is very polite great Communication and flexible with scheduling.

I received daily pics/vids/updates about our precious pups,therefore making our trip more relaxing&enjoyable! For wonderful care and peace of mind, I highly recommend Jennifer! Will definitely use her and her doggie charm again❤️”
“We have booked 3 times (4th coming soon) with this lovely family and were thrilled with how much our Luna fell in love with them. Nadine, Daniel and Noah were the absolute best fit for us and our puppy. Luna received the attention she is used to, played ALOT, went on walks and quickly became a part of their family. We have used the daycare and dog sitting service with them. Very clean house, where Luna could roam and explore. I can not express my gratitude enough for this family and for them taking care of our Luna.”
“Sue was great. Really patient and accommodating. My pup was returned to me happy and healthy. Her husband was also very nice and they both seemed very confident and comfortable with my pup who’s a 48lb pittie. Thank you Sue and Franky. We appreciated your care and attention to our fur baby. Sue also sent regular selfies of the pup and was quick to reply to messages.”
“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!”
“Michele was awesome. She’s super friendly and made me feel very comfortable about caring for Hershey. When she was watching him she sent me pictures periodically to let me know that all was well. We will definitely reach out to Michele in the future!!”
“Our dog had a great time with Nicole! He came back happy and healthy. She was very easy to work with especially when our flight was delayed and she had to keep him one more night. Will definitely be using again!”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“We have booked with Madison several times for our pups. Madison has been amazing with Holly and Murray every time they have stayed with her. She’s super reliable and really loves our pups, so we always know they're in good hands. Highly recommend her!”
“Words can not describe how thankful we are that we found Rich. We could not have asked for a better caregiver/sitter. We loved watching all the pictures and videos of our pup having the time of her life!! Now that we found Rich he is our #1 go to. Thank you so much Rich!! We hit the jackpot when we found you!”
“Kathryn took such good care of Marley! She sent me updates every day and pictures! So happy to have found such a reliable, flexible, and easy to communicate with sitter for our fur baby!”
