“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.

Sandra and her husband John invited Lulu into their home and treated her as though she was theirs!”

It was clear Arthur felt comfortable and happy in her care. Highly recommend! Thank you Amy, and Mayzie!!”

“Kaylee did a great job taking care of my fur babies. She took the time to check and see that they were all okay daily. Food and water filled daily and litter box cleaned daily as well. She spent time with them playing and giving them the human interaction they needed on a daily basis.”
About: Hi! I’m Amanda—a lifelong animal lover, BCBA by day, and your pet’s new favorite human by night! 🐾 Whether your pup needs belly rubs and a brisk walk or your cat just wants a cozy companion, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. As a full-time educator, I know how important consistency, safety, and connection are—yes, even for our four-legged friends! I bring that same gentle, attentive energy to every visit and walk. ✅ Available for drop-in visits, dog walks and companionship ✅ Experienced with different sizes and temperaments ✅ Patient, playful, and calm energy ✅ Happy to support feeding, litter cleanup, and routines ✅ Updates and photos every visit for your peace of mind Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your furry family member! As a BCBA working in the school system, I am currently off for the summer, so my availability is wide open. In the fall I will work regular school hours 7:30-2:30pm 4 days/ week. During the week I am available for afternoon and early evening visits. On the weekends my availability is open! I build in dedicated time for each visit to ensure I’m never rushed, and every pet gets my full attention. I care for pets in their own home with the same respect and attentiveness I would offer in my own. I follow all provided instructions closely—whether that includes feeding schedules, medication, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys—and I always take time to observe how each pet is feeling that day and send updates and pictures. During drop-in visits, I offer gentle, calm energy and prioritize connection so your pet feels safe and seen. I’ll make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and get affection or playtime based on their needs and personality.

My goal is for both pets and owners to feel completely at ease while we’re on our routine together
“Nicole was extremely reliable and professional and I will definitely reach out to her again next time I need cat sitter. My elderly cat is sweet, but also a bit moody at times, and Nicole did an amazing job at helping my cat naturally come out of her shell and feel safe. The photo updates Nicole sent were also great and really set my mind at ease.”
“We had the absolute best experience with Ashley! Not only was she incredibly sweet and attentive with our cat, but she went above and beyond in every way. She even taught our kitty a cute little trick which we’re still amazed by and made sure our home was tidy, taking out the trash without us even asking. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cat was not only well cared for but truly loved while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals!”
“Great experience. First time using Rover. Mariah was super friendly. We met prior to my trip and she was great with Ivy my cat. Ivy took right too her. I was very happy with the process. I’d definitely book her again.”
“As my first experience with April caring for Nova, I am already at ease. I am very particular about my pup and I can already tell I’ve lucked out with April. Thank you! 💜🐾”
“Madison did an excellent job taking care of my cat. She made sure everything was taken care of and kept me updated with photos and spent some time with her - really putting my mind at ease. She communicated clearly and thoroughly about scheduling and did everything that was asked.”
“Jessica is a very competent and caring sitter. Toby was having some health and mobility issues and she treated him wonderfully and kept me informed on his condition. I recommend Jessica and will call her again.”
“Again, Katie did a fabulous job with my fur babies. My very skittish boy made an appearance 2 consecutive days without running by like the flash. Thanks again Katie. Looking forward to the next time.”
“Amanda did a wonderful job caring for our cat Serene while we were on vacation. She was extremely kind, caring and thoughtful, she provided excellent and constant communication about Serene’s well-being. She not only fed Serene and cleaned her litter box every visit like asked, but also played with her and bonded with her, and provided us with cute photos of her to look at while we were away and missing her. I would absolutely recommend Amanda for any pet owner who needs someone to do drop-ins with their pet while they are away, and would definitely book her again! Thank you Amanda 😊”
“Morgan took great care of our 2 cats, doing drop in visits over a long weekend. Communication was great and she sent pictures each day. I would definitely recommend Morgan to anyone and would not hesitate to book with her again in the future.”

“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!”

“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!”
“Dani was amazing! Took my dog to her 3x and she was excited each time. Photos and updates were sent without asking. I would definitely book anytime to take care of my fur baby. I highly recommend.”
About: I have had pets in my life since I was a baby. We have enjoyed a lab, standard poodle and currently a mini cocker spaniel poodle mix. I love getting outside and being active with pets. I am at home with my daughter most of the time and I enjoy doing side hustles like selling vintage clothing online and seeking out antiques. We get outside with our dog, Carl often and would love to get a chance to offer outside time and love to other pets on Rover too! I always approach pets slowly with care and love. They feel our energy big time and have so much to share with us when we give them the chance.
About: I fostered kittens and cats until I was 6 years old, and I grew up around big dogs like mastiffs and pitties! I’ve grew up with cats my whole life and currently have one; I have owned a dog, leopard gecko, guinea pig, fish, and small insects. I have also pet sat a lovebird and bunny before! I currently only work during weekends and have a completely flexible weekday schedule as of now, I often go on daily long hikes/walks and am free throughout any part of the day and have plenty of time to hang out with and care for your pets! I have a large back yard in which your dogs are free in run in, though not fenced in, and a spacious house with one cat that has her own space if needed to be separated. I also go on hikes every week and try to go on them every day, so I’d love to take your pet on long walks or just chill at home with them!
About: I'll care for your pet like it's my own, and will provide ample ear scritches and snuggles as needed while they miss you during your time away. Our dogs share the couch and family spaces with us, but are crate trained as well. We go for walks daily and have playtime in the yard every 2-3 hours during the day if the weather is appropriate. We have two dogs, and an elderly cat that keeps to himself. Our yard is about an acre on a quiet dead end road and we have an electric fence for our pups, but can of course use leashes and leads as well!
“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.”
“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”
“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.”
“Okay, I am sorry. Cannot find another way to leave message on Rover. FYI, there is no "3-dotted icon in the upper right corner of the upcoming tab so that I can modify a booking." As Novelette & I discussed this week, I will not need daycare on August 10, 13, 24,27, and 31, or September 3. This is a combination of her and my vacation weeks and will be a rare exception to our regular Monday & Thursday schedule. Thank you for your attention, and here is my review: "Bruce loves visiting Novelette and is making a great adjustment there. She is very warm, nurturing, and responsive to his needs. We could not be happier with how things are going so far. Thank you!"”

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.
About: I've been caring for animals since I was in elementary school, starting with my own pets and eventually helping care for the pets of family members, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them and building loving friendships with each one. Whether it's going for long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm also a proud cat owner, and caring for my own cat has given me firsthand experience in providing attentive, daily care and understanding the importance of patience, consistency, and affection. I genuinely love all animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I have full time employment as a classroom teacher! I am now on summer break so I will have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pets!☺️ When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is always making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. I also keep their space clean, fresh, and stress-free, and I always provide updates with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. For dogs, I enjoy going on long, engaging walks and making sure they get both exercise and enrichment. For cats, I focus on gentle care, play, and respecting their comfort level—whether that means interactive play or quiet companionship.
“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs, I helped take care of my first dog when he was a senior, and I’ve been taking care of the dog I have now since he was a puppy he’s now 10. I also have 3 years of experience taking care of cats, I have one of my own and I help take care of my sisters. People who know me describe me as responsible and I’m signing up for this app because I love animals and I am trying to make a little extra money before I go to college in the fall. I am available monday - sunday at all hours of the day for whatever your pet needs. This is currently my only job and it has my full attention. I will not be able to provide boarding in my home because my dog does not get along well with other dogs, but I am available to stop in and see your pets whenever needed to feed them, take them outside, walk them, and just to play with them. I can also do overnight stays if that is what your pet requires.
About: With 15+ years of experience as a certified veterinary technician and personal pets, I am an ideal candidate to care for your pets. At home, I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and horses for my entire life. Over the last three years, I’ve cared for three senior dogs who required an array of medications. My 15 years experience as a veterinary technician has helped me to develop an eye for detail when it comes to your pets needs and health. Currently, I am taking a break from veterinary medicine. I would like to begin my own dog walking/daycare/pet and house sitting business in order to support my family. This will become a full-time job for me with an open schedule at this point. Dog walking and check in’s (to potty and play) will be Monday to Saturday 7am to 7pm. As I cultivate a client base and access the needs of those clients, my hours will develop to accommodate those needs. At my house, we have a fenced in yard that is approximately half an acre. The fence is 7 feet high in all places. There is a kiddie pool and digging area. Inside is an open concept to roam. Currently, all of my dogs are very friendly couch potatoes. If needed, they could be separated (into their favorite spot, my bedroom!) to accommodate your pets needs. As for walking, I will adhere to all rules provided by you, the owner. I’m open to walking neighborhoods or taking your dogs out on the local trails. I will work side by side on manners and behavior with the owners.
About: I have worked with dog trainers so I know some training skills needed to help with certain behaviors. I can administer meds if needed. I have had farm animals so I have that experience as well. I am looking to fill my time with some amazing animals because of my love for them. I take care of everything from farm animals to cats. I can watch cat friendly dogs in my home. I have gates and a safe environment. I am more than willing to watch pets in the clients home as well to make them feel comfortable and help with routine.
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 lived with dogs my whole life and can't imagine my life without them. I will treat your animals with as much love and compassion as if they were my own pet. I am available full time on the weekends but I am out of the house around 8:00-1:00 because I am working at a summer school. I will follow your instructions with the greatest care and I will do everything I can to make your pet feel safe and happy. Can't wait to meet your furry friends!

About: I’ve been the primary caregiver for my own dog, Nelson, and my family cat, Luna, for the past seven years. In addition, I started my own dog walking business over three years ago and have had the opportunity to care for dogs with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications with clear instructions, following detailed care routines, and making sure every pet receives the attention they deserve. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets the same way you do, you’ve come to the right place. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a senior dog who needs a slower pace, or a cat who simply wants a calm companion while you’re away, I believe every animal deserves to be treated like family. I’m currently working toward a career in veterinary medicine by completing my pre-veterinary coursework. This fall I’ll be returning to school part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. My goal isn’t just to watch your pet—it’s to become someone both you and your pet are excited to see again. Nothing means more to me than earning your trust and building lasting relationships with the families I work with. When you return home, I want you to feel completely confident that your pet was cared for with kindness, patience, and genuine love every single day. Although I’m unable to board pets in my own home, I have experience providing overnight house sitting and in-home pet care. I know how important it is for many pets to stay in the comfort of their own environment, and I’m always happy to care for them where they feel safest. Most importantly, I understand that when you leave your pet with someone, you’re placing an incredible amount of trust in them. I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, loved, and receiving the same level of care they’re used to at home.
About: Growing up I have always had dogs and cats, currently I have two cats of my own! I love animals and always treat them with the best care possible! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I can be available in the morning, afternoon, or night! I have two very friendly cats who welcome all animals into our home when friends visit. I live in an apartment with a less traveled road which is great for walks!
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, ferrets, 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! Pet care is my full time job. My schedule is flexible, I can usually always find a time to fit in a furry friend! My husband is a stay at home dad, so I don't have to worry about having to find childcare in order to work. 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: Dogs have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by them taught me early on that dogs aren't just pets—they are full-fledged family members who deserve the best care possible. My deepest bond will always be with my girl Ellie. She was my whole world, and caring for her shaped how I view and interact with every dog I meet: with patience, genuine affection, and unconditional devotion. I understand how much your dog means to you because I know how much Ellie meant to me. Whether your pup needs active exercise, structured play, or just a attentive companion while you’re away, I promise to care for them with the exact same love and attention I gave my own. My schedule is completely dedicated to weekend pet care! Because my Saturdays and Sundays are reserved specifically for dog care, your pup gets my full, undivided time and attention. Whether it's active morning walks, structured play, or relaxing companionship, weekends are 100% focused on keeping your dog happy and safe. My approach to pet safety and care was defined by my bond with Ellie, who inspired my lifelong standard for how dogs should be treated. I understand how much your pup means to you because I know how much Ellie meant to me—which is why their safety and comfort are my absolute top priority. Whether in your home or out on walks, I maintain active supervision and strict security measures, from double-checking gates to safe leash practices. I stick closely to your dog's regular schedule so they feel confident and calm while you're away. Expect consistent communication and plenty of picture updates throughout the stay.
“Ermelinda is truly amazing. Our skittish dog warmed up to her after the very first walk. The care instructions for our dog, Bella, was a laundry list and Ermelinda followed them to the letter. Your dogs will be in great hands with her. I highly recommend her services!”
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.
About: I have taken care of several medium sized breeds for the past three years including labs, poodles, and beagles. I have also cared for smaller breeds like chihuahuas and Shih Tzus, as well as puppies and senior dogs. I work part time for a maximum of five hours a day so I am available to provide dogs with attention and care at home the rest of the time. :) I work part time for a maximum of five hours a day, when I am outside of work I spend most of time home. During the time I am at home I’m able to adjust your pets care according to your preference. I live in an apartment and have a small male chihuahua who gets along great with other dogs. I don’t have a restrictive environment and will happily allow your dog to rest on the couches and beds, and roam around the apartment. I don’t have a fenced yard but I can walk and take your dog potty on a leash.

“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.”

“I am so grateful and appreciative of Sandra‘s loving care of Lulu while I was gone for 13 days. Lulu has a seizure disorder and Sandra was amazing with giving her medication and keeping me updated every day with her status and sending pictures of how well loved and cared for she was. Sandra and her husband John invited Lulu into their home and treated her as though she was theirs!”
“Katie and her family were AMAZING!! We needed a last minute sitter and they couldn’t have taken better care of our girl. We got multiple updates and lots of pictures which put us at ease.

“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”
“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.”
“This was Ophelia's second visit with Michael. He is great, as always,sends pictures and updates, and I feel very comfortable leaving my sweet girl with him.

“Dani took great care of my baby! She was very flexible and accommodating. She and her family provided a loving, comfortable, and nurturing home environment during his stay.

I definitely recommend the care in her home to any pet parent!”
