“This was our second time boarding our dog with Kristin, and once again, she did an amazing job! She was very responsive and sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dog was happy and well cared for—we couldn’t ask for a better experience!”
“Oakley had a blast!! We could tell you just take such good care of Oaks like he was one of your own. We could not appreciate it any more, and was the best stay for him! We will be coming back with Oakley 1000%! We were updated with pictures all the time of our boy and could tell he was extremely happy! Thanks so much again, Oakley will be back soon!!”
“Kristin exceeded our expectations with her extraordinary care for our rambunctious 1.5 year old GSP, Harvey. Each day we would get several updates with photos/videos which put these new puppy parents’ minds at ease. We were so impressed with the amount of exercise (both physical and mental) that Harvey was getting. Kristin went above and beyond teaching Harvey the fundamentals of the agility course, working on his commands and giving him homemade lick mats and treats. Harvey was genuinely sad to leave Kristin, Mark and Kaia but we know he will be back the next time we take a trip! Thank you for everything!”
“Brittany is amazing. She literally will treat your pet like her own and spoils them like they should be ❤️ I know my husky loves staying with her and she is my go to person! He even got a toy for Christmas. He gets so much exercise and love. Thank you Brittany!”
“My girls took to Dani immediately. She checked their bags & instructions right away & immediately contacted me to let me know one dogs meds wete missing & offered a solution that worked. She sent lots of photos showing us they were playing, napping & eating on time. We are visiting family 1200+ miles from home . It was a relief to find Dani to take care of our girls fir overnight. We highly recommend Dani.”
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!
“Austin was fantastic about communicating both before and during our dog’s stay. He was great with her medications and making sure she was taken care of so we didn’t have to worry about her. She was one of the family while she was there. She’ll definitely be back”
“Our pup had the best time and received wonderful care from Jessica and her family. She sent us regular pictures and updates on his visit which made us feel so comfortable with her caring for our guy.”
“Ricky takes care of our boys like his own. He lives a little far away, but I don’t mind driving there because I can go do my things with peace of mind when my kids are with him.”
“Patrick and Susan are awesome people and they are amazing with animals. Our puppy Archie was so loved and cared for while we were gone. He came back relaxed and happy! They were accommodating, flexible and easy to work with. Each day they sent us pictures of our pup having fun and enjoying his vacation. I highly recommend them and will be using them each time we need a pet sitter. If you are looking for great people to watch your dog I wouldn’t hesitate to contact these two! Sherri C.”
“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.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 6 years and have encountered all types, from the couch potatoes to the ones who want to play nonstop!

Being home full time also means I will be available for your pet at anytime they need me throughout there stay at my home. I have a sturdy 100 ft dog runner that has held very large dogs. However,if your dog does better on a regular leash just let me know and I can leash for bathroom breaks instead. While at my home your pet is my only priority and I am happy to suit any needs they have.
“Once again, Dash has a great stay with Alan and Luis. We received pictures every day with updates and when we pull into their driveway Dash gets excited to see their dogs and loves running in their fenced in yard. We never have to worry about Dash when we go away ‘”

“Sarah is so good with our cat! Treats her like a queen. And she is as dependable as can be. Can’t imagine a better person to recommend for anyone needing her services.”
“You will not find a better person to care for your pet. Kristen is caring, attentive, and exactly the type of person I needed to care for my high energy pup while I'm at work. She cares and wants to do what is the best for you and your pet. So happy to have met her, you will not be disappointed!”
“Emma was FANTASTIC! Super nice and clearly enjoys kitties. She was responsive and took lots of wonderful pictures every time she came. She left our home clean (litter, etc.) and made it easy to roll right back into our routine after being away. I enjoyed our interactions and highly (highly!) rate her. I hope we'll be able to have for us again.”

“Madison is the BEST! Our old walker moved and my husband and I scrambled to find a new walker we liked and could trust which wasn't the easiest task! Madison is reliable, responsible, very commutative, and more importantly great with our pets. Before our initial walk we communicated a lot back and fourth and I was that annoying dog mom with a million instructions. Madison was professional and handled my requests with ease including the request to - carrying around my chihuahua if necessary lol. When one of my pups was sick Madison took the liberty of cleaning up after him and even put cream on his paws!! I look forward to her rover cards and photos I receive daily. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter. She has been my walker for the entire month and January and I already booked her for February. With Madison your pups really are in great hands.”
“They were great! Incredibly responsive, sent lots of photos of our cats while we were on vacation. Played with them and scooped the litter box. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a great cat sitter, and I’ll be booking with them again in the future!”

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: What sets me apart in cat sitting is my calm, patient, and gentle approach. I understand that cats thrive on routine and trust, so I take the time to learn each cat’s personality, preferences, and comfort level. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, litter care, and medication instructions, while keeping safety and cleanliness a priority. I’m experienced with shy, anxious, and independent cats, and I respect their boundaries while offering affection on their terms. I provide reliable communication with regular updates and photos, so owners feel reassured knowing their cat is relaxed, cared for, and treated like family in their own home.
“Cailey helped us out with a last minute booking. She made us feel very comfortable and was more than we could have expected. She was prompt, and made communication with her a breeze. If you're looking for help with your pet don't hesitate with Cailey.”
About: I have a lifelong passion for cats and have been caring for them since I was 6 years old—my first cat is still with me today, which speaks to the long-term love and commitment I bring to every pet. Along with my 7+ years in animal welfare, I have hands-on experience handling cats of all temperaments, including shy, reactive, and high-energy personalities. I am comfortable administering medications, including pilling and vaccinations, and I always prioritize a calm, gentle approach to reduce stress and keep cats feeling safe. My experience has given me a strong understanding of feline behavior, allowing me to build trust quickly and provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each cat’s unique needs.
About: I have had dogs in my house since I was little and have been around animals my whole life. I currently have a 4 year old labradoodle. I have looked after and taken care of dogs of varying ages for friends for a long time. Currently, I'm a college student (animal science major) studying to be a veterinarian. I am very thorough and attentive to pet behavior and always aim to create a safe and fun environment! I am at home the majority of evenings/nights and I am in the area during the day. I work hybrid but my hours and days are extremely flexible. Understanding the clients house rules for their pets are important to me. I communicate promptly with reliability and respect so both pets and owners are comfortable. I can accommodate any needs necessary for your pet. My goal is a happy, safe, loved pet and making owners feel at ease being away from their pets.
“Nina was fantastic in taking care of our kitties. She was flexible when we had last minute schedule changes and super nice and communicative throughout the whole process. We will definitely rebook with her again!”

About: I’ve cared for pets, my own, and also those of friends and relatives, for several years. I have a large fenced in yard and my own playful pup to entertain your dog throughout the day. I am working full-time from home but have a beautiful fenced in yard for your dogs to play in and I’m able to take frequent breaks throughout the day to play alongside them. I have my own playful pup to keep your fur baby company throughout the day. Whether it is romping around with my dog, lying in the sun or relaxing in the shade, your dog is sure to be in good hands.
About: Hi everyone! I am an animal fanatic (dogs>people) with an energetic and outgoing personality. I strive to provide the best possible care and have no problem with special requests or schedules! I'll run, walk, play, throw to your dogs content and my own. I've been caring for animals big and small since I was a wee kiddo, have vet experience inherited from my dad who owns his own practice, and overall a soft spot for all things furry. I have a cattle dog mix pupper who is a social butterfly and a bengal that acts more like a dog than a cat. He gets along GREAT with all animals he's been introduced to, just check out the photos! Put yourself at ease knowing that your pooch will be properly attended to at your own convenience! I am currently working part time as a nanny and am looking to expand my passion for animals into a full time career. I previously ran a small dog walking business in Boston and am hoping to do the same here in my home state of CT! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to play with! If your dog is not friendly with others I do have a separate space for my pups if needed.

“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!”
“My girls absolutely love going to Rebecca’s! And I love that they get it all with her. I got to see them enjoying their day while I was at work, then they were too tired to try to jump on me when I walked through the door. Perfection again!”
“As a newcomer to Connecticut, I needed a dog sitter on short notice and was initially anxious about leaving my dog, Gingi. However, Jessica exceeded all my expectations. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism and kindness, providing regular updates without any prompting. Receiving photos of Gingi during my lunch breaks reassured me that he was well cared for and enjoying himself. Additionally, Gingi always smelled wonderful when I picked him up. I will definitely continue to book with her in the future. Highly recommended—10/10”
“Kayla was amazing with my dog! Each time I picked him up, he was happy, and clearly well cared for. She took amazing care of my pet even though he has a broken leg and has restrictions. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Her services are absolutely worth every penny.”
“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.”
“Very satisfied with the care of my puppy. Rosmery is a very kind person. My puppy quickly went crazy for her when she picked her up. I loved that she sent me photos while I was away from my Luna. My puppy was very happy when I came back to get her. —————————————————————- Muy satisfecha con el cuido de mi perrita, Rosmery es una persona muy amable, mi puppy rápidamente se volvió loca con ella al cogerla, me encanto que me envío fotos mientras estaba lejos de mi Luna, mi perrita estaba muy feliz al regresar a buscarla. THANK YOU!”
“Lindi and Jules have outdone themselves with top notch snuggles and warm welcomes. Communication is great, and we always know what to expect. I love that Jules is such an accommodating dog-hostess too!”
“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'm a kind, responsible, friendly, well organized, calm & honest person. My husband and I both like dogs. We own a smart, friendly golden retriever who love to play and run around our large yard. Our dog is healthy, understands basic commands (we trained him ourselves), house trained, and up to date on shots/vaccinations. We take good care of our dog and we'll take good care of your dog. We are living in country and close to dog park, Coventry and Bolton lakes. I can take your dog on a leash to walk there upon your request. I would like to board a friendly and house trained dog. We accept only crate trained dogs. I am working from home. So, I can provide potty breaks and plenty of exercise for your dog. I like to walk and have experience with dog who have anxiety. Safety is priority. I prefer to keep dogs separate because they may not get along. Your dog will be on a leash if outside the house. I would never feed my dog your dog kibble. Crate trained dogs only.
“I was very unsure of leaving my new puppy with someone, but I need yo say that Ricky is the best, he took very good care of Bailey and was very responsible, always updating me with pictures and letting me know how she was doing. She will be going back this weekend and will be definitely leave her there anytime I need. 100% recommend.”
About: I am new to the Rover app but I’ve taken care of animals my entire life and have a wide range of availability! I just want to be able to help those who need their fur babies taken care of without the added stress of boarding them. I have experience with lots of different animals, sizes, diets and medicine administration. I only have one pet in my house and he’s a small 20lb dog named Koda. He LOVES other animals and even has some cat bffs! I am home most week nights and weekends so i have pretty open availability! I take my dog on long walks after work and we are always looking for more company! I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a very yard with a leash that is on a run with plenty of room to get the zoomies out! I have a spacious house and we welcome dogs on all furniture, so if you have a pet who prefers to cuddle up and sleep in bed, i’m your gal!
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.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my calm, reliable, and attentive approach to care. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m highly detail-oriented, follow all care instructions closely, and prioritize safety at all times. I provide consistent communication with updates and photos, respect clients’ homes, and adapt easily to pets of all ages and temperaments. Above all, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I will be attending college until May, I am free most weekends or after classes. I make sure walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins are never rushed, and I only take on bookings I can fully commit to. This allows me to provide consistent, reliable care while maintaining a balanced routine, so every pet receives my full attention and dependable care. I care for pets in their home by maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow all feeding, walking, litter, and medication instructions carefully while prioritizing safety and cleanliness. I give each pet attentive companionship through play, enrichment, or quiet time based on their personality, and I respect their space when needed. I also keep the home tidy, secure, and treated with care, and provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

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: I've had dogs since I was 10 and participated with their health care growing up and decided I wanted to be in the veterinary field from that point. I started pet sitting for a farm in 2017-2021. I went to school to be a veterinary assistant in 2020. I later got a job at a vet clinic in 2021 and started pet sitting for clients there on the side. I've had 4 years experience with observing animal behavior and know what to look for when a pet is feeling ill, restraint, nail trims, administering medications, injections, and treatments. I also worked for a summer at a dog boarding facility and have experience with observing play behaviors to prevent fights from breaking out in groups. I just recently quit my full-time veterinary assistant job in October 2025, due to workplace drama and still have some regular pet sitting clients from the vet clinic, but thought I'd give this a shot to widen my clientele. If you like my services, I encourage you to contact me outside of Rover! I can only take on other dog friendly dogs in my house because I have 2 myself. I'm willing to go to your house for visits if they're not dog friendly. I have an unfenced yard, so any dogs staying with me will go outside on a leash. Dogs must be crate trianed to stay at my house. My dogs stay out when I go on errands or out for the evening, but get locked up at night.
About: Over the years, I've cared for my own four companion rescue dogs and many more cats. I also started and ran a licensed farm animal rescue for 15+ years where I provided daily care for sheep, goats, llamas, chickens, turkeys and pigs. I have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities and am comfortable working with special needs animals and giving meds. I am also available for drop-in care for some companion or pet farm animals. My routine is very flexible as I am a self-employed consultant and work remotely from my own home.

About: Hi! My name is Ana and I am a working professional in the area with a love for pets. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. I’m great with animals and would love to give your pets the extra bit of love they deserve! Long walks? Bath time? Play time? These are what your best friend needs! Don’t let them miss out because of work, family vacations or anything else that may get in your way of your furry friend needs. Allow me to help and satisfaction is guaranteed. I am local to Willimantic, originally from MA. I will usually respond within an hour with my availability depending on the extent of the care requested. Rest assured your pets are in great hands and I’m excited to meet them! I have my own kitty at home and work with pets frequently. I want to be as respectful as possible of your home. If there is anything I should be aware of, areas you want me to avoid, please let me know. I am here to help support you! I am currently working remotely with a flexible schedule and so I will have plenty of time with your pets! I can’t wait to spend my time with them! In my home we have a relatively scheduled day for our pets with specific feeding and care times. If you have a particular schedule please let me know!

Respect and trust are 2 MAJOR things I don’t take lightly! I am respectful of both you and your companion, but also to your space. I treat others spaces as my own, that’s a responsibility I ALWAYS serve.

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.

“This was our second time boarding our dog with Kristin, and once again, she did an amazing job! She was very responsive and sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dog was happy and well cared for—we couldn’t ask for a better experience!”
“Oakley had a blast!! We could tell you just take such good care of Oaks like he was one of your own. We could not appreciate it any more, and was the best stay for him! We will be coming back with Oakley 1000%! We were updated with pictures all the time of our boy and could tell he was extremely happy! Thanks so much again, Oakley will be back soon!!”
“Kristin exceeded our expectations with her extraordinary care for our rambunctious 1.5 year old GSP, Harvey. Each day we would get several updates with photos/videos which put these new puppy parents’ minds at ease. We were so impressed with the amount of exercise (both physical and mental) that Harvey was getting. Kristin went above and beyond teaching Harvey the fundamentals of the agility course, working on his commands and giving him homemade lick mats and treats. Harvey was genuinely sad to leave Kristin, Mark and Kaia but we know he will be back the next time we take a trip! Thank you for everything!”
“Brittany is amazing. She literally will treat your pet like her own and spoils them like they should be ❤️ I know my husky loves staying with her and she is my go to person! He even got a toy for Christmas. He gets so much exercise and love. Thank you Brittany!”
“My girls took to Dani immediately. She checked their bags & instructions right away & immediately contacted me to let me know one dogs meds wete missing & offered a solution that worked. She sent lots of photos showing us they were playing, napping & eating on time. We are visiting family 1200+ miles from home . It was a relief to find Dani to take care of our girls fir overnight. We highly recommend Dani.”
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!
“Austin was fantastic about communicating both before and during our dog’s stay. He was great with her medications and making sure she was taken care of so we didn’t have to worry about her. She was one of the family while she was there. She’ll definitely be back”
“Our pup had the best time and received wonderful care from Jessica and her family. She sent us regular pictures and updates on his visit which made us feel so comfortable with her caring for our guy.”
“Ricky takes care of our boys like his own. He lives a little far away, but I don’t mind driving there because I can go do my things with peace of mind when my kids are with him.”
“Patrick and Susan are awesome people and they are amazing with animals. Our puppy Archie was so loved and cared for while we were gone. He came back relaxed and happy! They were accommodating, flexible and easy to work with. Each day they sent us pictures of our pup having fun and enjoying his vacation. I highly recommend them and will be using them each time we need a pet sitter. If you are looking for great people to watch your dog I wouldn’t hesitate to contact these two! Sherri C.”
“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.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 6 years and have encountered all types, from the couch potatoes to the ones who want to play nonstop! I am home full time so I am available any day and any time for drop off and pick up. Being home full time also means I will be available for your pet at anytime they need me throughout there stay at my home. I have a sturdy 100 ft dog runner that has held very large dogs. However,if your dog does better on a regular leash just let me know and I can leash for bathroom breaks instead. While at my home your pet is my only priority and I am happy to suit any needs they have.
“Once again, Dash has a great stay with Alan and Luis. We received pictures every day with updates and when we pull into their driveway Dash gets excited to see their dogs and loves running in their fenced in yard. We never have to worry about Dash when we go away ‘”
“Kathryn & Jeremy were great! Their house was cozy and friendly. Our corgi loved playing with their kids and he was definitely tired when he got home. They were great at communication and we felt our dog was safe. Will book with them again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Growing up, my mother was (and still is) a doggy foster mom for our local shelter. We constantly had 4-6 dogs in our home, most of which ended up staying long term. I have years of experience caring for multiple dogs and senior care as well! I work completely from home which will allow me plenty of time to attend to your pups needs all throughout the day. I love to jog and hike, so your pup will be sure to get plenty of exercise and outdoor time with me! I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. Working from home allows plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs will always be kept safely leashed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, feeding schedule, crate preferences, and any special care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure.”
