“Loki says he had the best time ever! Thank you for having him and taking such great care of him as well. I’m sure he was a handful at times especially with him missing us and we appreciate all you do!”
“Colette was great with our two dogs, she has a lovely backyard where they got plenty of exercise and made themselves at home in her living room lounging on the couch and playing with their toys! I’d definitely recommend her for your pups care!”
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.
“Kristen was amazing! Cooper was spoiled with hikes and play time all week. I can’t imagine leaving him with anyone else, she treated him like he was her own, and inspired us to be better dog parents! We are looking forward to using her again.”
“Star had such a fun time! It was so comforting getting pictures and videos of her while I was away. Knowing her mannerisms, she’s seemed very at ease the whole time!”
“We were very nervous to leave our pup for a long weekend but he loved his stay! They were very loving with our little guy and he was right at home with them. Will definitely book with them again.”
“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!!”
“Sandra is great! Lottie clearly remembers her and is so excited to see her which says it all. She communicates well, loves dogs and has a nice fenced in yard. We will keep coming back for sure!”
About: Hi, I’m Ashleigh! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Northeastern Connecticut. My two chocolate Labrador Retrievers are truly part of my family, and they’ve been by my side for the past 10 years. Growing up with family pets and later becoming a dog owner myself has given me years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Before having children, I spent five years fostering dogs and puppies through Wings of Freedom Dog Rescue. During that time, I welcomed many dogs into my home, helping them adjust to new environments while providing the love, patience, and care they needed before finding their forever families. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants companionship and cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member because I expect the same level of care for my own dogs. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the day. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily routine, and I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. My days are structured around being home, which means I can be dependable and available to meet your pet’s needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. When caring for pets, safety is always my top priority. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and do my best to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. During walks and drop-in visits, I always make sure dogs are properly leashed before opening any doors, and I double-check gates, food, water, and any special instructions before I leave. I’m also comfortable giving medications if needed and will send photo and text updates after each visit so owners know how their pet is doing. For boarding and daycare, pets are cared for in my home as part of the family. I have two very friendly chocolate Labs who enjoy being around other dogs. Because I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs are always kept on a leash for potty breaks and exercise. I also have two young children (7 months and 4 years old), so I only accept dogs that are comfortable in a family environment. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to accommodate the owner’s preferences. Guest dogs can sleep in a dog bed or in a crate, depending on what they are used to at home. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and low-stress environment where pets feel cared for while their owners are away.
“This is the second time we have boarded our dog with Michael. Upon arrival, she appeared to be happy to see him! Communication was easy, although we didn't get any pictures this time. Being that this was a fairly short stay, this was OK.”
“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.”
“We boarded our boxer Piper for the week and felt she was happy there. Viki kept me updated on how she was doing each day, most times with pictures. They have a set up where they can have their own rooms instead of a kennel. Our dog happened to like the kennel more but could see where some dogs would appreciate the peace and queit of a private room.”
“Dash had a wonderful week long stay at Renata’s home. Plenty of exercise and outdoor time on their beautiful property on the lake. Would absolutely trust to take care of our dog again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Chelsea K! She took amazing care of my dog, Dexter, and went above and beyond in every way. Her home was spotless and provided such a clean, comfortable environment that immediately put me at ease. Chelsea’s attention to detail was incredible—she followed all of Dexter’s routines perfectly and made sure he felt right at home. What really stood out to me was her patience and genuine care. Dexter can be a little shy at first, but Chelsea took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, which I truly appreciated. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own in a clean, welcoming space, Chelsea is the one to book!”

“Kaylee was very reliable and consistent, and it gave me peace of mind knowing that she would be there for the cats both morning and night to feed them and make sure they were all right since I was out of the country for 10 days. It also helped that she checked in and there was a message sent via Rover when she was on site, along with a picture of the day, as I called it, of the cats. I would recommend her to anyone who has to travel and does not have a reliable service for your cats.”
“I am a cat dad and my buddy Atlas is my world and then some. Ashley has helped care for Atlas the past couple of years and there are very few people that Atlas and I trust more than her. She not only covers the basics of food, water, and general comfort, but really goes the next level to spend some true quality time with my buddy. I can count on one hand how many people Atlas will take a nap with, she is one of the few that he will just be so content and comfortable with her around. She is observant and communicates any and all questions she might have to ensure the best possible care, all the while sending pictures to keep me updated on how well he is being treated. I normally have anxiety about leaving my furry kid but with Ashley there is no fears and no worries, just focusing on the trips and awwwing about great pictures being sent. 10/10 your pets should get the chance to meet Ashley.”
About: I’ve always had a cat in the house growing up, so I am familiar with their boundaries and needs. Friends and family have trusted me with their care. I will respect their space and home (we all know they’re the ones in charge here).
“Mariah was great with our pups!! She was willing to come out prior to booking to meet the dogs and ensure they were comfortable. She communicated great, and was flexible with her schedule. Our pups enjoyed spending time with her!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Katie always does such a good job taking care of my fur babies while I’m away. She treats them as they were her own. I feel comfortable & confident they’re getting the best care.”
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.

“Cara took care of our little guy Duncan with plenty of attention and making sure he was comfortable. She was EXCELLENT in communicating with us. We are delighted to have found her to be our pet sitter!”

I make sure they have a clean, safe space, fresh food and water, and gentle care. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your cat is safe and well cared for. Your cat will be treated with patience, respect, and kindness at all times.

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.

My goal is for both pets and owners to feel completely at ease while we’re on our routine together
“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 😊”
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.
“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.”
“Thomas was great! He took care of my two dogs when I was away, which wasn’t that easy since one of them has kidney disease and need subcutaneous fluids everyday. Will book again in the future!”

“My dog loved it with them. With a new puppy I felt comfortable leaving her with them, and the did a great job with her. Loved the updates throughout the day. Will use them again as I feel safe leaving my puppy with them”
“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!”
“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.”

“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!”

“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!”
About: Hello! I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old and got my first dog sitting gig. Over the years, my family has had every kind of pet: horses, sheep, dogs, cats, birds, iguanas even! I find great joy in showing the animals I work with lots of love and guidance. I’ve trained my own and others' horses, dogs and cats over the years and it’s just the most rewarding experience. I work part time and mostly from home which allows me to be available all day to care for pets. I’m a big fan of a consistent routine with animals rotating stimulation (exercise, play, training or enrichment) meals, rest and balancing the three. I care for pets on my property which is almost entirely fenced in. I have professional kennels in a mixed use building with a residential portion attached. So I have the luxury of providing secure stalls with the addition of our open more homey areas. I can take most types of pets and I’m especially suited to care for animals that do not do well in large boarding facilities, don’t do well with other pets or just want a more personalized, quiet boarding experience. I don’t believe it is always necessary to socialize dogs with dogs and right now that’s not something I do (unless they are boarding from the same owners). I focus on routine, a bit of training and connection with humans! I have a fenced in run where dogs can be off leash for playing, enrichment etc. I designed our kennels myself and had them custom built. Each stall is separated by concrete walls to provide a private and safe space. I chose mental fencing for the top of the partition and the door. I chose this instead of the plastic, glass or solid door options because it provides optimal airflow and allows them to see out. I also have private suites separate from that area.
“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'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!
“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.”
“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.”
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!
“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: A little about me: I am a Rhode Island native, (literally!) and have a Bachelors degree in International Relations and Global Politics from the American University of Rome. I also completed my Masters degree in Costa Rica! Pura Vida! As of 2020; I have children of my own, and dogs of my own: I no longer offer boarding services. Only house sitting & drop in visits. As of 2026, I am a PhD student in Canada 🇨🇦 I will only be available in New England during summers ☀️ and winters ❄️ I have personally cared for elderly dogs, chaotic puppies and the 'body guard' type, and my care will allow your pet/ Bestfriend to be relaxed while vacationing. I have been dogsitting/ caring for the past 10 years now. My availability is somewhat flexible depending on your needs. Depending on the needs of your furry friend and your own, I am more than willing to doggysit and provide your pet with any amenities and attention needed! Cuddles are a must, or atleast a walk.. Or a nice drive! *If you’re in Long Island, or NYC area please feel free to message me! I have a family member I can refer to you* 🐶🐱🩷 Currently working part time! Able to offer half day care and breaks! I am available overnight, and early mornings. Over the holidays and weekends my availability changes. At a clients home I always use a leash and harnesses when available to ensure safety. I take photos and request notes from owners to ensure balance from dog to overall environment.
“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: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to shy cats and everything in between. I’m comfortable with any schedule your pet needs and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I am currently a student so all of my days are flexible. The semester is almost over but next semester I only have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m available for boarding during the week and weekends and everything else is flexible and able to fit into my schedule. There’s plenty of places for them to walk and play. They can easily be crated as well. Anything can be accommodated and done as needed.

About: Hi, I’m Ashleigh! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Northeastern Connecticut. My two chocolate Labrador Retrievers are truly part of my family, and they’ve been by my side for the past 10 years. Growing up with family pets and later becoming a dog owner myself has given me years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Before having children, I spent five years fostering dogs and puppies through Wings of Freedom Dog Rescue. During that time, I welcomed many dogs into my home, helping them adjust to new environments while providing the love, patience, and care they needed before finding their forever families. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants companionship and cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member because I expect the same level of care for my own dogs. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the day. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily routine, and I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. My days are structured around being home, which means I can be dependable and available to meet your pet’s needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. When caring for pets, safety is always my top priority. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and do my best to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. During walks and drop-in visits, I always make sure dogs are properly leashed before opening any doors, and I double-check gates, food, water, and any special instructions before I leave. I’m also comfortable giving medications if needed and will send photo and text updates after each visit so owners know how their pet is doing. For boarding and daycare, pets are cared for in my home as part of the family. I have two very friendly chocolate Labs who enjoy being around other dogs. Because I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs are always kept on a leash for potty breaks and exercise. I also have two young children (7 months and 4 years old), so I only accept dogs that are comfortable in a family environment. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to accommodate the owner’s preferences. Guest dogs can sleep in a dog bed or in a crate, depending on what they are used to at home. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and low-stress environment where pets feel cared for while their owners are away.
“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'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!

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.

“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!”

“Loki says he had the best time ever! Thank you for having him and taking such great care of him as well. I’m sure he was a handful at times especially with him missing us and we appreciate all you do!”

“Kristen was amazing! Cooper was spoiled with hikes and play time all week. I can’t imagine leaving him with anyone else, she treated him like he was her own, and inspired us to be better dog parents! We are looking forward to using her again.”
“Star had such a fun time! It was so comforting getting pictures and videos of her while I was away. Knowing her mannerisms, she’s seemed very at ease the whole time!”
“We were very nervous to leave our pup for a long weekend but he loved his stay! They were very loving with our little guy and he was right at home with them. Will definitely book with them again.”
“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!!”
“Sandra is great! Lottie clearly remembers her and is so excited to see her which says it all. She communicates well, loves dogs and has a nice fenced in yard. We will keep coming back for sure!”
“This is the second time we have boarded our dog with Michael. Upon arrival, she appeared to be happy to see him! Communication was easy, although we didn't get any pictures this time. Being that this was a fairly short stay, this was OK.”
“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.”
“We boarded our boxer Piper for the week and felt she was happy there. Viki kept me updated on how she was doing each day, most times with pictures. They have a set up where they can have their own rooms instead of a kennel. Our dog happened to like the kennel more but could see where some dogs would appreciate the peace and queit of a private room.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Chelsea K! She took amazing care of my dog, Dexter, and went above and beyond in every way. Her home was spotless and provided such a clean, comfortable environment that immediately put me at ease. Chelsea’s attention to detail was incredible—she followed all of Dexter’s routines perfectly and made sure he felt right at home. What really stood out to me was her patience and genuine care. Dexter can be a little shy at first, but Chelsea took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, which I truly appreciated. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own in a clean, welcoming space, Chelsea is the one to book!”

We highly recommend Dani.”
