“We couldn’t be happier with Kristin as our dog’s pet sitter! This was their second stay with her, and when we knew we were going out of town, there was no question—Kristin is the one we wanted to care for them again. She is incredibly attentive and caring, always making sure they’re comfortable and happy. We loved the regular updates she sent throughout the day; it’s clear how much she loves animals and how dedicated she is to providing them with the best care. Highly recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a reliable, loving pet sitter.”
“Austin was great! It was our first time and Brody had the best time. We will absolutely be using him again!! He was awesome with all the dogs and they were truly a part of his family!”
“Kristin is just who we were looking for to take care of our boy! He got to snuggle on her couch, sleep in her bed, and rumble with all of her other Rover pups. And we got pictures and videos of all of it! Wylie is going to miss having friends around all the time!”
“Thank you so much for your great care, Chance loves his overnights , the walks and excursions with you. Thank you for being weather and temperature conscientious. Black dog bright sun! I know I don't have to worry when he's with you! Sue”
“Phenomenal care! Amber is a wonderful sitter, very caring, kind, empathetic and truly loves dogs. My Dante got a lot of love and attention. Amber communicated well, plenty of updates, pictures and videos. Best care for your furry kiddo! Highly recommend Amber as your sitter.”
“Katie and her family were wonderful sitters, giving updates and pictures daily as well as quick responses when messaged. They gave our dog lots of attention and cuddles, even bringing her with to their family Christmas! They also helped fill her stocking with toys and goodies, which our dog is still happily playing with. I would recommend Katie to anyone!”
“Summer is the best of the best. She took such good care of our two pups and when one of our pups arthritis started to act up, she loved him and took care of him like he was her own. She was absolutely incredible and we will most certainly be rebooking and I would highly recommend Summer to watch anyone’s pups.”
“Indigo had a great time during his stay! Thank you so much Sandra for taking him in while I was on my trip & thank you for your flexibility with the pickup time!”
“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”
“I would highly recommend Allison to take care of your dogs! She is so caring and definitely communicates with you to let you know what's going on! Her dog, Mollie is so sweet too! She has 2 fenced in areas- a front yard and back yard with a pool! There is definitely plenty of places for your dogs to roam and play outside. She also has a nice area inside for them to play and where she gives tons of cuddles! She honors whatever your routine is, as I wanted my dog to sleep in her soft crate and be fed twice a day with pottie breaks every 4hrs. She is very reliable, dependable, efficient and a total sweetheart! She knows how to slowly introduce dogs and makes sure everyone is safe and comfortable besides having fun! I was so calm knowing that my Lola was in good hands and given so much attention by her, her family, and the other dogs! A definite 5 star rating in my book!”
“Alan & Luis take such good care of Cody while we are away. We get up dated pics and videos every day and feed back on how he is doing. It makes us feel secure that Cody is in good hands while we are away. Plenty of activity and interacting with the other dogs . Clean environment and worry free. From my fur baby to you both... thank you for taking such good care of me. Miss you!!”
“Colette was absolutely wonderful. Winnie loved her! Her fenced in backyard is perfect for a small dog who loves to feel “free”! She sent us multiple photos and updates. We’d definitely use her again!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our puppy Koda was staying away from home for the first time, and Novelette took amazing care of him. She kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Koda had a blast and came home happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our Arthur! From the start, Amy was attentive, responsible, and truly cared for our boy like her own. Arthur is adventurous and always getting into something, but she handled everything with ease and kept us updated with pictures and messages. It was clear Arthur felt comfortable and happy in her care. Highly recommend! Thank you Amy, and Mayzie!!”
“This was our first time leaving Moxie alone for more than one night and without us close by. HE did so well and he had such a great time!!! I could tell by how worn out he was when we got home!!! :) James and Mallory were awesome with all my check ins on how he was doing and for sending videos and pictures. I've already booked them for our next vacation next month.”

About: Been taking care of dogs for 6 years now. Have had experience training two of my own dogs and taking care of them/walking them on my own. I also work alongside with my father (also named Luis ) who has been doing dog boarding for about 2 years now. Me and my father are very used to the behavior of dogs and comfortable with dogs no matter the size or the breed of your dog. I have always had a strong love and a passion for animals, especially dogs I am currently a college student looking to make a little bit extra money by taking care of dogs. If I cannot look after the dog, my dad also takes care of dogs and is always available Me and my father don't live in a very busy neighborhood so you don't have to worry about your dog being unsafe. We have a relatively big house and also have a park very close to my house with a big open field and fence for the dogs to run around in were I can walk your dog and play with them to keep them busy without the risk of them getting hurt. I also have many toys for your dogs to play with if you would like for me to have them get a more fun experience instead of just walking them.

Sammy kept us updated and truly treated our pups like her own. We’d absolutely recommend Sammy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. She went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be asking her again next time we go away!”
“Jenn did an awesome job of taking care of my Leah. Leah was waiting at the door this morning for her arrival.? This can only mean that Leah has made a new friend. She tended to Leah’s needs even when she had personal happenings. I’m ever so grateful that Jen was Leah’s sitter and would highly recommend her as a sitter. I’ll be contacting her for sitting the next time we take a vacation. She’s very professional!”

The cats warmed up to her very quickly and looked comfortable from pictures without me for so long. Riley was super easy to communicate with before and during my vacation. Highly recommend to anyone!”
About: members, friends, and neighbors. I’ve helped with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I have over 2 years of dog sitting experience and currently work full time at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m experienced with feeding routines, exercise, and group play, and I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I work full time, five days a week, as an opener at The Mellow Mutt, with typical 6-hour shifts. My schedule can occasionally shift, so a bit of flexibility is helpful, but I do my best to keep things consistent for pet owners. I’m also a full-time online student at SNHU, which allows me to stay flexible and available for house sitting needs. I usually work Wednesday afternoons and most of the day Sunday, and my only consistent day off is Saturday, making me available for extended stays and attentive overnight care. While staying in your home, I focus on keeping your dog’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to their feeding, walking, and play schedules, and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I’m very attentive to their behavior and comfort, so I can quickly adjust to their needs and help them feel safe while you’re away. I also keep your home clean and respected, and I’m happy to provide updates so you can feel at ease knowing your dog is well cared for.

“Karinna did a great job taking care of Astrid. My cat doesn't like a lot of people but also hates being left alone for a long time.

About: Hi, I’m Alyssa – your dog’s next best friend! 🐾 Located in Tolland, CT | Flexible Availability | Trusted by Fellow Dog Parents As a lifelong animal lover and proud pup parent, I understand how important it is to find someone reliable, responsible, and caring to look after your furry family member. I was referred to Rover by friends who know how much I adore dogs—and I’ve quickly become the go-to sitter for neighbors and friends alike. I specialize in caring for dogs who may need a little extra love, patience, or consistency—especially rescues or more anxious pups. I recently cared for a young red heeler mix who was too nervous to board, and with time, treats, and a calm presence, we became fast friends. Whether your dog is high-energy or a couch cuddler, I tailor my care to their needs. What I offer: • In-home overnight stays (I’ll treat your pup like one of my own) • Daily walks and enrichment activities • Photo and text updates to keep you in the loop • Flexible scheduling and last-minute availability Let’s set up a meet and greet—I’d love to learn more about your pup and how I can help! I work from occasionally so I can be available for your dogs when boarding! I can take them out morning, noon, or night depending on need. If boarding, I have about 1.5 acres of land they can explore or a 30 foot fenced in area in the back. I have a friendly dog who’s about a year old, and a fenced in area. Were ready for whatever your dog may need and more!

“Kristen- Such a blessing to have found you for my baby girl! Thank you so much! I don’t want to write the beyond-glowing review you so deserve because Kahlua (not me 😇😉) wants to keep you all to herself!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all sorts and sizes since I was a kid, and love playing with them. One of the requirements for our current home was to have a big yard so our boys could run free! I work from home and create my own schedule, and am an introvert so I’m almost always at my home unless I’m running an errand. This means I’ll always be here to take care of your animal and take them for walks, bathroom breaks, or play time. I have a big (unfenced) private back yard far away from any neighbors. I have two doodle’s who love to play with other dogs and two cats who will probably hide the whole time. Your pet will spend most of their time with me while I’m in my office or doing chores around the house, then the rest of the time playing with me and (optionally) my two dogs in our yard. My two doodles love other dogs and are non-aggressive, but if there are any issues I am happy to separate them. I used to train dogs in another life so I know how to handle and care for dogs.
“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.”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with two dogs, two cats, and even turtles and birds. Throughout high school, I cared for my neighbors' dogs and cats and regularly looked after my extended families pets while they were away, this gave me years of hands on experience with animals of all kinds. I have experience with fostering animals so I have taken care of blind dogs, dogs with diabetes and other disabilities that I am familiar with. I currently work part time at a grocery store, I don’t get a lot of hours so I have a lot of free time! I love animals so I make time for them at all times of the week :). I have a dog park at my apartment that many dogs i have watched loved to run around and play with the other dogs in. My apartment is also very spacious so cats and dogs have plenty of roaming space. I often make sure I get used to any animals environment fast, check out their favorite spots and make sure they’re as comfortable as possible while I am around them!

“I had a wonderful experience with Karen. She watched my 9 week old puppy and provided me with updates. Karen was also flexible. I had to change my drop-off and pick-up time during one of the days that she watched my puppy; and Karen made it work for me. I's super thankful.”
“Although it was my pup’s first time & she was super anxious, Allison was very patient with her & made her feel comfortable during her visit. She sends frequent updates & is very pleasant to talk to. Definitely recommend!”
“Zulma was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to allow Russell to get acquainted with his surroundings and safely meet her dog, Luna, who was a great teacher and playmate for him. We were so impressed by her understanding of dog behavior and especially her insight into Russell’s behavior and skin condition. We feel very comfortable and confident leaving Russell in her care, and we would highly recommend her!”
“My dog Milo adores Paul. It is extremely reassuring to see how excited Milo gets to see Paul pull into the driveway to take him for the day. Paul responds very quickly to messages/requests, is very accommodating, and provides me with updates and pictures/videos of the day they had on walks and hiking. I have utilized him numerous days when I need assistance with Milo, and it is nice to have someone so trustworthy to watch after my pup.”

“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!).”
“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.”

My recent experiences with Our Companions Animal Sanctuary and Canine College programs are teaching me so much about being a pet guardian for different kinds of dogs. I am learning about dog body language and how to help engage dogs in enrichment, calming, and attention-game activities while in a home, in a yard, and on a walk. I have friends who own cats, and I enjoy getting to know them as well.
About: 🐾 Hi, I'm Jen! 🐾 Dogs have always been the center of my life.

I believe every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs.

Because animals are already such an important part of my lifestyle, I am able to provide dependable, attentive care and easily incorporate dog walks and drop-in visits into my schedule. Caring for pets isn't just something I do—it's something I genuinely enjoy and am passionate about. Safety, trust, and environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always make sure animals are secure, supervised, and comfortable in their surroundings.

I believe trust is built through clear communication, reliability, and consistent updates, so pet parents always know how their pets are doing. I also aim to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel at ease, whether we’re on a walk or during a drop-in visit.

About: Hi, I’m Alyssa – your dog’s next best friend! 🐾 Located in Tolland, CT | Flexible Availability | Trusted by Fellow Dog Parents As a lifelong animal lover and proud pup parent, I understand how important it is to find someone reliable, responsible, and caring to look after your furry family member. I was referred to Rover by friends who know how much I adore dogs—and I’ve quickly become the go-to sitter for neighbors and friends alike. I specialize in caring for dogs who may need a little extra love, patience, or consistency—especially rescues or more anxious pups. I recently cared for a young red heeler mix who was too nervous to board, and with time, treats, and a calm presence, we became fast friends. Whether your dog is high-energy or a couch cuddler, I tailor my care to their needs. What I offer: • In-home overnight stays (I’ll treat your pup like one of my own) • Daily walks and enrichment activities • Photo and text updates to keep you in the loop • Flexible scheduling and last-minute availability Let’s set up a meet and greet—I’d love to learn more about your pup and how I can help! I work from occasionally so I can be available for your dogs when boarding! I can take them out morning, noon, or night depending on need. If boarding, I have about 1.5 acres of land they can explore or a 30 foot fenced in area in the back. I have a friendly dog who’s about a year old, and a fenced in area. Were ready for whatever your dog may need and more!
About: Hi! My names Kenzie, I’ve had pets my whole life, cats dogs, hamsters, etc! I love animals and am here for all pet care needs! I will treat your animal as if it’s my own and do whatever I can to make your animal comfortable through my time with them. Whether it’s extra long walks, or cuddles on the couch your pet with have a home away from home with me! I’m currently in school to finish my nursing degree and have a rotating schedule which allows me to be completely available for your pets needs! I have a fenced in yard, and 2 pet friendly cats to keep your furry friend company! We love having visitors, we also have a big house with lots of space to accommodate separation if that’s needed as well!
About: I’ve grown up taking care of many dogs & other pets in my family and neighborhood. I am highly attentive, patient, and would love to take care of your pets! I’m currently in graduate school and have classes on Thursdays. I work per diem in a hospital allowing me to work flexibility with clients and their pets. Having animals of our own we understand the importance of animals routines and comforts. Wake up, go outside to walk & bathroom, inside eat, downtime, bathroom breaks in between, and repeat in the evening. We have a large yard with trails to a field in the back where our dogs love to run. We do have outdoor leashes that are in the ground. And walk/take dogs out with leash by hand. The porches of our house have secure dog fencing so no one slips out. Our home is spacious enough for dogs of all sizes. The layout of our home allows the animals to take space or cuddle with the rest of the pack.
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or a quiet walk, I’m fully present and genuinely enjoy every moment I spend with them. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. Pet care routine fits perfectly in my recent schedule, since Im working on my own business and trying to work as a photographer. My schedule is pretty open for now. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety and comfort always come first. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with lots of cozy spots and zero hazards. I follow all your instructions carefully—from feeding and medication to routines and house rules—because consistency helps pets feel secure. I also give regular updates with photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Your trust means everything to me, and I treat every pet like family.
About: I had a whole slew of my own animals at home from horses to little snakes and everything in between. I absolutely love working and volunteering with all ages of dogs and cats, I personally have dealt with and endless amount of fresh babies and end of life care seniors. I’m open to whatever they throw at me, that’s the best part! I’ve worked with aggressors, muzzled sweetie pies, and the dopiest pups all over. Let me learn their personality and I’ll tailor myself to whatever they need! I come home to my mini zoo every day! I do long walks, yoga with the kitties, exciting feeding times, and lots of chilling out in the barn or on the couch, whichever lil friend needs the most. I spend all my time with shelter animals if I’m not at home, or if I’m at work I’ll be scrolling on Petfinder seeing what I can manage and provide for LOL Id love to use the term “gentle paw-renting,” but honestly it can be chaotic at times and you just have to go with the flow! I prefer to be chilled out with your little babies and just shower all the love, but if they need to go run around the block and rip some cardboard up, let’s do it and I’ll make sure your home is just as it was prior to my visit :) you deserve stress free and they deserve a nourishing and fun filled day!
About: My name is Jen, I am an avid animal lover, dog mom, and part-time adventurer. I have my BA in psychology and have always been interested in animal behavior. I first started watching friends' dogs in 2001, then moved on to house-sitting cats and dogs. I have great experience taking care of pups and love taking them on long walks, trips to the park, the beach, and places alike. And there's always time for some positive reinforcement! I am always willing to work on some training with your pup if you request. I have a 6-year-old love bug Cavapoo named Beau who is the light of my life! Feel free to contact me and discuss your needs, desires, and any questions! Fun Awaits! As of June 14 I am free to book between 9a-5pm. I walk my dog on the trails every single day after work and we enjoy it! I will not be taking care of any dogs at my home at this time. If this changes I will update the profile as soon as possible. I do not stay over night but I will stay until bed time and return in the AM.

“We couldn’t be happier with Kristin as our dog’s pet sitter! This was their second stay with her, and when we knew we were going out of town, there was no question—Kristin is the one we wanted to care for them again. She is incredibly attentive and caring, always making sure they’re comfortable and happy. We loved the regular updates she sent throughout the day; it’s clear how much she loves animals and how dedicated she is to providing them with the best care. Highly recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a reliable, loving pet sitter.”
“Austin was great! It was our first time and Brody had the best time. We will absolutely be using him again!! He was awesome with all the dogs and they were truly a part of his family!”
“Kristin is just who we were looking for to take care of our boy! He got to snuggle on her couch, sleep in her bed, and rumble with all of her other Rover pups. And we got pictures and videos of all of it! Wylie is going to miss having friends around all the time!”
“Thank you so much for your great care, Chance loves his overnights , the walks and excursions with you. Thank you for being weather and temperature conscientious. Black dog bright sun! I know I don't have to worry when he's with you! Sue”
“Phenomenal care! Amber is a wonderful sitter, very caring, kind, empathetic and truly loves dogs. My Dante got a lot of love and attention. Amber communicated well, plenty of updates, pictures and videos. Best care for your furry kiddo! Highly recommend Amber as your sitter.”
“Katie and her family were wonderful sitters, giving updates and pictures daily as well as quick responses when messaged. They gave our dog lots of attention and cuddles, even bringing her with to their family Christmas! They also helped fill her stocking with toys and goodies, which our dog is still happily playing with. I would recommend Katie to anyone!”
“Summer is the best of the best. She took such good care of our two pups and when one of our pups arthritis started to act up, she loved him and took care of him like he was her own. She was absolutely incredible and we will most certainly be rebooking and I would highly recommend Summer to watch anyone’s pups.”
“Indigo had a great time during his stay! Thank you so much Sandra for taking him in while I was on my trip & thank you for your flexibility with the pickup time!”
“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”
“I would highly recommend Allison to take care of your dogs! She is so caring and definitely communicates with you to let you know what's going on! Her dog, Mollie is so sweet too! She has 2 fenced in areas- a front yard and back yard with a pool! There is definitely plenty of places for your dogs to roam and play outside. She also has a nice area inside for them to play and where she gives tons of cuddles! She honors whatever your routine is, as I wanted my dog to sleep in her soft crate and be fed twice a day with pottie breaks every 4hrs. She is very reliable, dependable, efficient and a total sweetheart! She knows how to slowly introduce dogs and makes sure everyone is safe and comfortable besides having fun! I was so calm knowing that my Lola was in good hands and given so much attention by her, her family, and the other dogs! A definite 5 star rating in my book!”
“Alan & Luis take such good care of Cody while we are away. We get up dated pics and videos every day and feed back on how he is doing. It makes us feel secure that Cody is in good hands while we are away. Plenty of activity and interacting with the other dogs . Clean environment and worry free. From my fur baby to you both... thank you for taking such good care of me. Miss you!!”
“This was our first time leaving Moxie alone for more than one night and without us close by. HE did so well and he had such a great time!!! I could tell by how worn out he was when we got home!!! :) James and Mallory were awesome with all my check ins on how he was doing and for sending videos and pictures. I've already booked them for our next vacation next month.”
About: I have taken care of family pets for approximately 8 years. I am an avid animal lover and will treat your pet as my own. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to play with your fur baby as well as keep to any desired schedules. I have a fenced yard with a friendly dog that will love to keep your fur baby company. I can also crate your dog if that’s preferred.
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with two dogs, two cats, and even turtles and birds. Throughout high school, I cared for my neighbors' dogs and cats and regularly looked after my extended families pets while they were away, this gave me years of hands on experience with animals of all kinds. I have experience with fostering animals so I have taken care of blind dogs, dogs with diabetes and other disabilities that I am familiar with. I currently work part time at a grocery store, I don’t get a lot of hours so I have a lot of free time! I love animals so I make time for them at all times of the week :). I have a dog park at my apartment that many dogs i have watched loved to run around and play with the other dogs in. My apartment is also very spacious so cats and dogs have plenty of roaming space. I often make sure I get used to any animals environment fast, check out their favorite spots and make sure they’re as comfortable as possible while I am around them!
“Heather’s house is a great place for dogs! My pups enjoyed meeting new friends and Heather was very accommodating on scheduling. The dogs are looking forward to their next visit.”
“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”
