“We can't tell you how very grateful we are to have found Kristin on Rover. This was so much more than simply a safe and healthy boarding experience! She (and Mark!) engaged our Blake in daily life like he was their own. The frequent notes and photos let us know he was happy and content, not to mention thrilled to be with other dogs! He really had a great time! To say "highly recommend!" is truly an understatement. Thank you Kristin!”
“Austin has excellent communication, very flexible with scheduling. Immediately setup a time prior to the appointment to have a meet and greet. Walter had an absolute fabulous time with Austin! Kept us up to date with how things were going, with videos, pictures, and messaging. Highly recommended Austin! 10/10 will book again!”
“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.”
“Kristin and her family took great care of Grady! Her pictures and videos gave us peace of mind that he was doing well. We sure did miss him, but he received much love and play! He was tired!!! Thank you again for all you did!”
“Katie took exceptional care of our golden retriever. She gave updates on how he was doing throughout the stay and asked great questions about how she could make him feel right at home. Excellent communication but most importantly a great family that treated our dog like their own. 5 stars!! Highly recommend!!”
“Patrick and Susan took wonderful care of Nara! They gave detailed daily updates with photos so we knew how well she was doing, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We can’t wait to rebook with them in the future! :)”
“Summer was lovely to communicate with and sent a lot of photos of Raven, which I loved ! Raven was super pooped when I picked her up so I know she had a lot of exercise too.”
“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!”
“Our dog Remi had a wonderful time staying with Allison. Allison is a great communicator, responds super fast and really gave us a great feeling that Remi was receiving excellent care. Highly recommended!”
“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 using Mallory and James and we will definitely use them again. Our dog didn’t do well at a big facility and he did great being in their home. They gave him a lot of special attention and love and exercise. We received videos and pictures every day. Highly recommend and will go back!”
“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”
“Enzo had a great time! Christle is very quick at replying back whenever I wanted updates and had questions. Sent videos and pictures throughout his stay with her! I was very pleased and comfortable leaving my 5month old puppy in her hands!”
About: My children and I absolutely love dogs, especially my 8 year old son. I work in the school system so we have the whole summer off to enjoy taking care of your pets! I live seconds from a walking trail so your pup can get plenty of exercise, love, and snuggles! I am available all summer long while school is out. July 1 through the end of August. I spend a few weeks teaching summer school- on those days I am home by 1 pm. Your pet will be safely cared for in my two bedroom apartment- with lots of snuggles, nature walks, and toys. I understand different dogs have different needs and I will cater to each pup as needed.
“Our pup had a fantastic stay with Alan & Luis. She was well-taken care of and we got so many wonderful photos of her playing hard with her new friends. We are really happy to have found them and will be booking her with them for future trips. I highly recommend having your pup stay with them!!!”
“I believe my dog had a good time thank you so much again. He is an amazing sitter and your dog will be in great care. Just don’t book him when I need him 😂. Honest guy and loves what he does.”

“Absolutely excellent! This is my second time using Kaylee to watch my kitties while away and she did great. Kind and caring. She also called us when an alarm was beeping to confirm things were okay and made sure kitties were happy. Excellent caretaker for pets. Highly recommended. 10/10!”
“Sammy was incredible with our two dogs, Penny and Hazel! She followed every detail we left (and there were a lot!), including feeding schedules, leash instructions, and even some quirky habits.

She went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be asking her again next time we go away!”

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.
“Cara was happy to accommodate a pretty last-minute request for a single drop-in visit for our little guy when we were gonna be away for an evening into late night. As always, she was fantastic with her communication and flexibility!”
“This is our second time using Austin. He is always promt and on time for his visits. We never have to second guess if he will be there. Very respectful and responsible. He also sends out his daily report immediately after every visit. Keeps us informed and updated. We have found our sitter.”
“Kage was great with Stella and Luna. Each drop in he gave a detailed description of everything along with photos. He had good base knowledge of cat behavior which made us feel comfortable right away. 10/10 recommend!”
“Riley did drop in visits for my 2 cats Beans and Bear while I was on vacation for 2 weeks and she is amazing! 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: 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.
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. I also pay close attention to instructions, especially for cats with special routines or medical needs. I always try to make sure each cat feels safe, relaxed, and cared for!

About: Hello! My name is Anna. From young age I have always had a passion for taking care of animals. If this was mucking horse stalls for lessons or dog and cat sitting as a teen. Now in my professional career I have expanded my behavior and medical knowledge on dogs and cats in the vet med field. I currently work at a local horse farm until 2 p.m. I am looking for drop in visits or dogs walks after this time! If you are interested please contact me! I am able to make multiple drop in visits in the late afternoon and evening. I am able to take your dogs outside to use the bathroom. I can also take them for walks at a slow pace, fast pace and long or short. I would be more than happy to do any feedings you may need an I am also available to cat or dog sit on the weekends!

I am very compassionate and patient with fearful dogs and Fear - Free certified as well.
About: Hello! My name is Amanda. I live in Tolland, CT with my husband and son. I have a lifetime of experience with animals of all kinds. Growing up I always had dogs and/or cats, as well as several other types of pets. I worked in a pet grooming salon for 6 1/2 years, and a doggy daycare for 1 year. I have also done pet walking and sitting for family and friends. I have owned and/or taken care of many different types of pets, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, rabbits, birds, hamsters, and mice. We currently have a dog, cat, guinea pig, and turtle! I take care of and love each pet as if they are my own. I am a kind, compassionate, patient person who can't wait to meet your pets! I'm currently unemployed and my husband is a stay at home dad so my schedule is pretty open and flexible to be able to care for some furry friends! I love, care for, and treat all animals as if they are my own. I would always make sure the pet is safe, loved, and well cared for. I live with my husband and son who are both animal lovers as well.
About: If I spot a cat, chances are I'm heading over to say hello! Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and I absolutely adore spending time with them. I've been caring for cats for many years, including my own as well as the cats of friends, family members, and coworkers. Whether they're playful, chatty, shy, or happiest curled up in a sunny spot, I love getting to know them and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm also a proud cat parent to a sweet kitty with asthma, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to a cat's individual needs and provide extra care when needed. Caring for him has taught me patience, attentiveness, and just how much trust our feline friends place in us. From playtime and treats to quiet cuddles and companionship, I'll care for your cat as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for while you're away! I would be sure to send you plenty of updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. 🐾💕

“I’m so thankful to have met Kristin and her fur baby. Kristin was so welcoming, kind and loving toward Mooch, and it was an immediate sense of relief to know he would get the same love and attention he gets at home. Thank you for a wonderful day!!”
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.
“Paul is amazing with my dog and has always been flexible and supportive of what we need. My dog gets tons of enrichment when with him and I would recommend him without hesitation”
“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!”
“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.”
“Amber was absolutely amazing when I was in need of last second care, she went out of her way to send me updates and photos throughout the day which I greatly appreciated as well as picking up and dropping off my baby. She’s a saint!”
“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!

“James was very responsive and flexible with my schedule. He was able to handle my puppy with other dogs well. Great socializing for Charolette! He sent pictures and videos all day very nice! Overall Great experience! I highly recommend him. 😊”
“Keri and Amy were wonderful! They went above and beyond to help make sure Russell was comfortable. I really appreciated the time and effort they took to give him and their dog Jax enough time and space to get acquainted. Russell, unfortunately, didn’t get along with Jax, but Keri and Amy still were willing to watch him for us and keep them separated during his stay. They did so much more than I was expecting, and I am so grateful!”
“Renata took such good care of our pup. She put her at ease when she was nervous. Once our pup settled in, she kept me updated and then captured all the fun moments of playing and silliness. Our girl had the best time and was exhausted from playing so much. Such a wonderful experience!”
“Colette was very sweet with my Nala. She was very nice and sent pictures and status of Nala during the day. Nala was very happy with Colette and had a great time staying with her. We loved the experience and we will book her again.”
About: I’ve volunteered at Dakin so my expertise is felines. I have rehabilitated, fostered, trained, and socialized any type of cat or kitten. Believe me, they’re just like dogs. My partner and I are both on-call medical professionals so one of us is always home during the week days. I’m at home during the weekends studying for school. Our time is very flexible! It’s best to keep pets separated until a day or two if they come into my home and then there’s a meet and greet. Otherwise, a meet and greet is essentially a day before before entering into their domain.

“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.”
About: I love dogs and cats! I do not currently own a dog or cat, but I volunteer with Our Companions in their Adopt a Shelter program spending time visiting and walking dogs in local shelters, and I have volunteered at their animal sanctuary in Ashford walking dogs. I am also in their Canine College program, taking and assisting in dog training classes. I enjoy using positive training techniques (treats and praise) to reinforce polite dog walking and attentive behaviors. I am comfortable walking dogs up to 70 lbs. I have recently retired, which gives me some flexibility, and I am participating in a Canine College dog training program. I love dogs, and I am looking for more opportunities to meet and spend time with dogs. I also enjoy cats and would be happy to house sit and/or walk your cat as well! 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.
“Kaylee walked my dog daily while I was on vacation. She was prompt, professional and gave my dog a little extra TLC every day. She sent pictures and daily updates. I would definitely recommend Kaylee!”
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.

As a lifelong pet owner and active rescue volunteer, caring for animals is something I do every day. My routine revolves around feeding, exercising, monitoring, and spending quality time with pets, ensuring their physical and emotional needs are met. 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 take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and needs so they feel safe and stress-free while in my care. 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.

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: My dog passed away at age 18 and my family decided that we are not going to get another one. Being able to care for other people's dogs will be a joy. I am not good about updating my calendar. Reach out if you need care for your pet and if I am available, I will be happy to help! I am currently semi-retired and working part-time with a lot of flexibility in days and hours. Dog walking or pop in care will work for me. I won't be able to do any frequent regular visits as my schedule changes weekly. I am used to walking dogs and having dogs that are crate trained. Whatever your routine is, I can help to be consistent in training and care.
About: I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to travel. I am dedicated to building a strong relationship with pet owners to provide personalized care to meet their needs that goes above dog walking. I am comfortable with working with all breeds of dogs from puppies to senior age. I am willing to put in the time needed to ensure your pet receives the best possible care. I'm available any time between 9 and 5 Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays. I'm available for last minute needs and overnight stays. I'm very flexible with my schedule and will make every attempt to meet your needs. I keep my personal animals on a regimented schedule to ensure their health, safety and happiness. I pride myself with the cleanliness I keep my home and pets, and I would show your home and pets the same respect. I have several clients who have d different needs that I cater too. I am careful to respect special diets, socialization boundaries and any other special requests
About: I have owned and helped take care of pets since I was a child and have worked in the veterinary field for 5 years. I am proficient at giving oral and injectable medications. I am a born animal lover and will treat your pet as if they were my own. I do work full time, so would mostly be available weekends but can be flexible depending on the situation. My job provides me with skills that would be helpful in caring for older animals and animals with health conditions. Comfortable with both dogs and cats. I have 2 dogs of my own who are always happy to have playmates, but I also have ample space and can keep them separate if needed. Willing to come to your place or have your fur babies come to mine.
About: Hello! My name is Amanda. I live in Tolland, CT with my husband and son. I have a lifetime of experience with animals of all kinds. Growing up I always had dogs and/or cats, as well as several other types of pets. I worked in a pet grooming salon for 6 1/2 years, and a doggy daycare for 1 year. I have also done pet walking and sitting for family and friends. I have owned and/or taken care of many different types of pets, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, rabbits, birds, hamsters, and mice. We currently have a dog, cat, guinea pig, and turtle! I take care of and love each pet as if they are my own. I am a kind, compassionate, patient person who can't wait to meet your pets! I'm currently unemployed and my husband is a stay at home dad so my schedule is pretty open and flexible to be able to care for some furry friends! I love, care for, and treat all animals as if they are my own. I would always make sure the pet is safe, loved, and well cared for. I live with my husband and son who are both animal lovers as well.
“Paul has been a great asset to getting the stimulation my German shepherd was bred to need! Both of my dogs respond so well to him. They’re very Intuitive dogs that instantly pick up on someone’s nervousness or lack of confidence - but Paul comes in with a confident but clam nature that they sense immediately. Both my dogs have struggled with reactivity - but have had no issues with him.”

“We can't tell you how very grateful we are to have found Kristin on Rover. This was so much more than simply a safe and healthy boarding experience! She (and Mark!) engaged our Blake in daily life like he was their own. The frequent notes and photos let us know he was happy and content, not to mention thrilled to be with other dogs! He really had a great time! To say "highly recommend!" is truly an understatement. Thank you Kristin!”
“Austin has excellent communication, very flexible with scheduling. Immediately setup a time prior to the appointment to have a meet and greet. Walter had an absolute fabulous time with Austin! Kept us up to date with how things were going, with videos, pictures, and messaging. Highly recommended Austin! 10/10 will book again!”

“Katie took exceptional care of our golden retriever. She gave updates on how he was doing throughout the stay and asked great questions about how she could make him feel right at home. Excellent communication but most importantly a great family that treated our dog like their own. 5 stars!! Highly recommend!!”
“Patrick and Susan took wonderful care of Nara! They gave detailed daily updates with photos so we knew how well she was doing, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We can’t wait to rebook with them in the future! :)”

About: My children and I absolutely love dogs, especially my 8 year old son. I work in the school system so we have the whole summer off to enjoy taking care of your pets! I live seconds from a walking trail so your pup can get plenty of exercise, love, and snuggles! I am available all summer long while school is out. July 1 through the end of August. I spend a few weeks teaching summer school- on those days I am home by 1 pm. Your pet will be safely cared for in my two bedroom apartment- with lots of snuggles, nature walks, and toys. I understand different dogs have different needs and I will cater to each pup as needed.
“Our pup had a fantastic stay with Alan & Luis. She was well-taken care of and we got so many wonderful photos of her playing hard with her new friends. We are really happy to have found them and will be booking her with them for future trips. I highly recommend having your pup stay with them!!!”
“I believe my dog had a good time thank you so much again. He is an amazing sitter and your dog will be in great care. Just don’t book him when I need him 😂. Honest guy and loves what he does.”
“Tricia was amazing and I cannot thank her enough! We left our dog Evie with her for 4 days and she had a blast! She sent pictures and videos throughout our time away and it definitely helped ease the pain of missing our girl! When we picked her up, she was happy, excited and very well cared for and you could tell she had the best time. Tricia is the best and I will absolutely be leaving my girl with her any time we go away from now on.”
“I would highly recommended Ifan! This was the first time I have ever boarded my dog Charli and he regularly updated me about how Charli was doing and provided Charli with great outdoor/indoor playtime with other pup friends as well. Ifan himself was very responsive to any messages I sent him. If I ever need to board Charli again I will definitely do so with Ifan and would suggest others to do the same.”
“Dorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.”
