“Daisy lived her overnight stay with Saori. She came home happy and super relaxed. I loved getting photo updates throughout her stay. I knew Daisy was in good hands and it helped make my trip so much more enjoyable knowing she was safe and well cared for. I’ll be booking again soon.”
“Jess and Ian were wonderful with my two boys. They communicated with me while on vacation and it eased my mind to know they were ok. Wonderful and honest couple”
“We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Our boxer, Daisy, stayed with Valerie while we vacationed for a week in Florida. Valerie and her family were great from the start, not only with Daisy but also entertaining my eight year old son when we arrived for an introductory visit. They had plenty of room for Daisy to run around and two playful but well behaved dogs of their own that accepted Daisy in. Valerie provided updates during the week to let us know how Daisy was adapting and getting along with everyone and how much her family loved having her. She was also extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times knowing our hectic travel schedule. The next time we go away for an extended period, Valerie is definitely my first contact attempt.”
“We had such a great experience with Jennifer who care of our dog, Daisy, for almost a week. Jennifer was very communicative throughout the week - keeping us updated throughout our trip with thoughtful messages and plenty of photos showing Daisy relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoying her time with Jennifer and her family. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Daisy was in such caring and capable hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jennifer again—highly recommended!”
“We are so grateful for Annette!! Alaska always leaves so happy!! She is wonderful. This is our 2nd time using her and we will continue to use her!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Rich was incredibly kind and took great care of our pups. Booking was easy & everything went very well. Our dogs loved his property (lots of outdoor space!) and it was nice for them to get used to being around other dogs. Rich sent us photos of our dogs throughout their stay with him. They looked happy & content. Great experience 😊”
“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”
“Harley’s first vacation with Bruce. She did very well during her stay. Bruce is very attentive and loving. He communicates often making us feel at ease while we were away. I highly recommend him ❤️”
“Nicole was wonderful! She was a great communicator and sent updates and pics of Ava everyday! Ava came home in great spirits and we feel so lucky to have found Nicole! Highly recommend!!”
“My very active little dog stayed 8 days with Tinaclem. Smush was so happy, well taken care of, and runs to her when he sees her. It is a huge relief to know I've found a petsitter who loves dogs as much as I do, and as much as my dog loves her.”
“Rachael was so good with Swift! He can be a little much, but she took him for lots of hikes and play time and he came home tired, happy, and better behaved. You can tell she loves what she does.”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our boys with anyone. Yajaira was awesome, very warm and left us worry free. We received pics of our boys while we were away and pick went very smoothly! We appreciated this service very much and will call on Yajaira again any time!”
“I've used Veronica at least a couple times at this point and she has been nothing less thank fantastic. She has been fantastic at communication, great at scheduling room, and took amazing care of my Mika! Definitely bwill contact her again and I would encourage anyone to do the same.”
“James and his family were absolutely amazing! We needed last-minute care for our girl after deciding to take a quick overnight trip, and James came through for us in a big way. I sent the booking request just three hours before we needed care, and he responded almost immediately. From the start, James was kind, reliable, and incredibly accommodating. It was clear right away how much he genuinely cares for animals and how dedicated he is to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. We especially loved all the pictures and updates he sent, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Knowing our girl was in such great hands made the whole experience stress-free. We couldn’t be happier and will absolutely be booking with James again. Highly recommend!”
“Our Vizsla stayed with Claudia at her house for 2 days and 1 night. Claudia was so flexible to set up a meet-and-greet and was able to book our dog on a holiday weekend on short notice. She made our dog feel comfortable and loved. Claudia even sent us pictures and updates so we felt good knowing she was doing well. She has a big back yard and lives right across the street from a huge fenced-in park and took our dog there often to play. We recommend Claudia to anyone and will most likely use her again for dog-sitting!”
“OMG. Isabel was amazing!!!!! There’s really just not much else to say, she was absolutely AMAZING. I have not 1 but 2 pups (that go everywhere with me) so that definitely heightened my worries of leaving them with someone I did not know. But, from the moment I met her at the meet & greet I just knew I was making the right choice and that my dogs would be safe. She truly cares about these animals and it really shows. Not only does she care but she is super smart and really knows what she is doing. Always one step ahead & ensuring their safety. I can’t thank her enough. I now look forward to planning trips knowing I have her! ?”

“Emily is sweet and loving. She clearly loves animals and our two pups love her. Emily is dependable and prompt and quickly responds. We are planning to have her back on regular schedule.”
About: I have had cats my entire life and have cared for my friends cats as well. I have given my cats medicine before, I am good at cleaning the litter box and I give good pets.
“Meghan did an amazing job checking in on our cat while we were away! She was professional, kept our house clean, and most importantly, our cat was happy and comfortable. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pet was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had cats my entire life and have also worked at a cat inclusive boarding kennel. I have cared for cats of every temperament and every stage of life so play time, feeding and medication distribution is nothing new to me!
About: When I was growing up I had two cats: Stanley (a black tuxedo boy) and Celeste (a calico longhair girl). Since then I’ve become a cat grandmother🙂 Now my daughter and her husband Mike's american shorthair yellow cats (HB and Kenny) are really part lof my family too. In fact they live at my house whenever their parents travel and they are visiting me now!
About: I grew up with a cat and have cared for many cats of friends and family over the years. Recently I've dropped in on and stayed overnight with friends' cats to enable them to travel the world while I get to enjoy cat cuddles! My own cat passed away last year, after living a wonderful, long life (I adopted him when he was already at least 15 and administered medicines and IVs to him at the end).
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and amphibians, so I’m comfortable with animals of all kinds. I’ve also been volunteering at an animal shelter for 1 year, so I know how to read animal behavior and handle the unexpected. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I work full time Monday through Friday, so my availability is after 5pm on weekdays and Saturday mornings and afternoons for walks and drop-in pet care. I follow your pet's routine to a T and send regular photo and video updates so you're never out of the loop. If I notice any changes in behavior I'll let you know right away. I'll leave your home exactly as I found it, follow any house rules you set, and always make sure gates and doors are secured so no one makes a sneaky escape.
About: I genuinely enjoy caring for cats of all ages from kittens to seniors. I have been a cat mom for almost 30 years now, learning from the diversity of cat experiences and personalities. I love their quirkiness and companionship. I would care for your cats as I care for my own, with kindness, respect, and common sense. I will read and follow instructions. I will not leave doors open. I will make sure they eat what they’re supposed to be eating and observe for any signs of distress. I will spend quality time with your kitties so they feel loved while you are away! I have a somewhat flexible schedule with remote work days. Weekends are flexible. In most cases, I would be able to make morning and evening cat care visits. I prefer to care for cats in their own home environment. However, we do have the option of several private, closed off areas in our home to host a cat traveler, if needed.
About: I do love dogs but. I am a cat person. I travel for work so I haven't gotten another since my last three years ago. My best friend told me she still can't believe I haven't because "Jill" and "cats" are like "peanut butter and jelly" in her head. I got my last two cats, a brother and sister, as kittens in high school and loved them so hard for 12 and 15 years. Max had three urinary blockages and after the last, he just couldn't bounce back. And Jinx had kidney disease that progressed to failure. So I have some experience with prescription food and medications as well as giving subcutaneous fluids. Definitely wasn't my favorite but I would have done anything for my kitties and would do the same for another's.
“Jamie was great with my dogs and helped me out when I was stuck working a double at work. She is very sweet with my dogs and went above and beyond what I asked her to do! I will definitely be asking her back again!!!”
About: I’ve had my own cat for 5 years and truly consider him my baby, so I understand how special cats are. I’ve cared for cats most of my life and love them all. I’m patient and gentle, making sure every cat feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I've owned and cared for 9 dogs throughout my life, ranging from tiny Maltese and other small breeds to large Saint Bernard's. Every dog I've had has been treated like family, and I bring that same level of love, patience, and care to every pet I look after. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, or cuddles, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I have a pup of my own, and we stay active with daily walks, outdoor time, and enrichment activities. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or regular walks, I can adjust my schedule to meet their needs and keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for. How I care for your pet depends entirely on how you'd like me to support them and what makes them most comfortable. In my home, pets are treated like family and receive lots of attention, exercise, and affection. While I do not have a fenced-in yard, all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs will be leash-walked unless they have a proven, reliable recall. I am also happy to follow your pet's existing routines, feeding schedules, training preferences, and any special care instructions in either my home or yours.

About: Hi! My name is Haley and I am 26 years old. I grew up in New Milford, CT and moved to NC for school. I just recently moved back to New Milford after completing my Master’s at UNCW. North Carolina was where I joined Rover and fell in love with the opportunity to help the local area with pet care! I love all animals! I have an 8 year old boxer mix named Koby and a 5 year old golden retriever named Miloh. We spend our days at the beach, park, eating treats, playing tug of war, speaking the doggy language, and cuddling of course! I have grown up around pets my entire life and could not imagine a life without them. I will follow your daily routine the closest I can and apply the discipline you enforce with your dog on a daily basis. I will make sure the experience your dog has is fun, targeted to their specific needs, and give your dog the love and affection you would to make them as comfortable as possible. My goal is to make your dog feel loved and make sure they are happy the entire time they spend with me. I love all dogs, big or small, and enjoy creating relationships with them. I would love to meet your furry best friend and if they are good with other dogs, I would love to bring my little fur babies around for some good fun and exercise. Whatever you need I am there and willing to work around not only the needs of your pet but you as well! I currently am working full time at my home. I have a flexible work schedule and would be able to step out multiple times a day to take care of your pet! I will follow whatever routine you feel is best for your pet / pets while you are away! I have been doing this a long time and have seen it all when it comes to the preferences people have on the care of their pets. No request is too much when it comes to our pets! I currently work from home and have plenty of free time on my hands. I am very flexible and open to helping however I can! I have grown up around pets and have had both of my dogs since they were puppies. They have been up and down the east coast with me during every trip home, move, etc. They are my best friends. Your best friend will be treated exactly how I would want someone to treat mine if I was away!
“Moby had a great time! Thank you so much for being so caring and loving! We really appreciate the flexibility as well! We hope to bring Moby back to play with the girls soon! ~ Yuki & Jeremy”
About: I am a mom to three human children, three dogs, and three horses. When my kids were younger, my "me time" was spent volunteering for various rescues and shelters. I love taking care of animals and found so much satisfaction helping out those poor little creatures who had no home to call their own! I loved it so much that I decided to start my own 501c3 nonprofit animal rescue! I figured that in doing so, I could help on a way bigger scale! Additionally, I could put more efforts in to helping people through the love of animals in need! Making the adoption process easy and fun, and making sure the humans and the pets are a wonderful match have made my rescue quite successful! Over the past 11 years I have rescued thousands of dogs, hundreds of cats, and three horses from shelters and other high risk situations! Throughout my years of taking care of pets, I have care for basically every age, breed, size, and temperament! I have also provided care on just about every level...from administering meds, IV treatments, vaccines, basic grooming, and basic training/behavior modifications. I joined Rover because I want to continue helping animals and support pet owners who need someone they can truly trust. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for like family while you’re away. Being able to provide that peace of mind is something I take seriously. Every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care while maintaining the structure and comfort your pet is used to. I also prioritize clear communication so you always feel confident and informed while your pet is in my care. My schedule has a lot of flexibility, and I am a full-time caregiver for these sweet babies! I will always do my best to be available for you and your furry family members! Pets in my home have my full supervision, and when I am unable to have my eye on them, they are either crated or in their own safe space! Our yard is fully fenced!
About: Hi :) My name is Shelby, and I’m a recent college graduate. I’m currently staying in Bethlehem for the next couple months, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you are in the greater Connecticut area. I have lived with dogs and animals my entire life, and properly cared for them for about 8. I’m a trusted dog sitter between my neighbors, friends, and family and am looking to expand my clientele! I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, and spent last summer working at a dog daycare in California. Dogs truly are my best friends 🐶 That being said, I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend :) I can administer medication, and care for both puppies as well as senior dogs! I have a pretty flexible routine right now, and am great at prioritizing as well as time management, so I’ll always find time for your pup(s)! I’m very flexible when it comes to my services, and I’ll cater to all of your pets needs. I’ve cared for both puppies, as well as dogs that needed constant assistance and various medications, and everything in between. I’m a lover of all dogs no matter their situation and will do my best to keep your pets happy and healthy in my care.
About: Our family loves our pets, and I'll love yours too while you are away. My husband and I adopted our first black Lab in 2001, when she was eight years old. She was our first baby. Since that time, in addition to raising our human family, we have added many furry, finned, and feathered members to our home. While my ten-year-old Havanese is my "Best Boy;" I am "House Mom" to the other pets in our family. I love the time in the day I spend with my pets and look forward to spreading that love to other animals as I have more free time now that my kids are growing up. Having my own pets, I know it is hard to leave town. It's essential to find someone who is responsible, thoughtful, honest, and gentle to watch over them. I look forward to meeting with you and your pets to help alleviate your concerns. I am a stay-at-home parent, to older children, so my schedule is very flexible. I look forward to working with you to create a schedule that supports everyone! I believe in the Golden Rule. I will care for your pet(s) just as I would expect someone to care for mine. Before scheduling our first pet sitting appointment, I would like to meet with you and your pet in order to understand your pets' schedules and needs. If I am visiting your pets at your home, is there anything small I can help you with? Maybe you want your trash bins brought in, or your mail picked up?
“Laura couldn't have been sweeter and more attentive to our little Havanese, Cleo. Shy as she is, she clearly picked up on Laura's very gentle nature and warmed right up to her. We live in NYC but had Cleo stay with her while my daughter and I were in the area to spend some time on Candlewood Lake. I only wished we lived closer so we could take advantage of having Laura watch Cleo more often!”
“Liliana and her husband were great!! Turbo stayed with them while we worked 2 times. He is super anti social but the 2nd time he stayed with them he was wiggling his tale as soon as we dropped him off which is great news for my dog. They kept me up to date, were very flexible with my late pick up times & meet and greet reschedules. Thank you so much for taking care of our baby!”
“Megan is exceptional: she made me feel so confident that Sadie would be happy in her home. She is dog savvy for sure. (And horse savvy), well: she is an animal lover! Thanks Megan, hope to use you again soon. Karen”
About: I've been working at an animal hospital for 20+ years and have been managing the grooming and boarding facility there for 15+ years. I have worked with cats and all ages, temperaments, and breeds of dogs. Besides the professional experience, I have always loved animals, lived with family dogs and cats my entire life, and am well suited for caring for your pets, too! My husband has been a dog dad for 15+ years (and a bird dad as well) and has over a decade of professional experience with dogs in the boarding and grooming section of an animal hospital. Between the two of us, at least one of us is home every day - we would love to provide a home away from home for your pet! Our goal is to provide the most compassionate, safe, and responsible care for your pet. Our house is set back from the road on 100+ acres of conservation land where we can hike and explore with your dog. Our house is roomy and comfortable, and we strive to provide whatever your dog needs. We also value enrichment for pets - we hope your dog will learn, grow, and be stimulated while with us. We also live right next door to my father, who is a veterinarian and available for any questions we might have. We have a new addition to our family and welcomed in a baby boy in June 2025. Since then, we are accepting new clients with smaller dogs and sometimes larger dogs if they are older or laid back. We do have a soft spot for our older guests and love to keep them comfortable and pampered. We live in a one story house, so there are minimal steps. We try to mimic your own schedule at home. And one of us is home every day so we're able to provide the best care possible. We have a small fenced in area outside our front door, mostly for safety in coming in and out of the house. Outside of that area, I leash walk your dogs (until we have a larger fenced in area). We have gates inside to give dogs their own space if/when they want it. If you pet is more comfortable in a crate during bedtimes or short times alone, we can provide that as well. We are diligent regarding medication, feeding instructions, and medical concerns. We also will keep you up to date on how the stay is going and welcome you to reach out anytime.
About: I have had dogs since I was born. I have taken care of them throughout their life, from puppy to senior. I have dog sat for many family friends and family throughout my life. I went to an ag high school and was enrolled in the vet tech program. I have handled many different animals, as well as many different ages and needs. This includes senior massages and bathing, administering medicine, feeding, exercising various animals from horses to rats. If you have any questions, please reach out. I am currently going to school full time online and have plenty of time for pups! The only day I am unavailable is Wednesday. Please message me if you need any services. I do not have a fenced in yard but I have various long lines. I am comfortable in crating and training dogs. I will treat your pets how I would treat my own, with the utmost respect and listen to them however they express themself.

About: Hi there! I'm Michaela, an experienced pet sitter and dog walker in the western CT area. I've had many dogs and cats throughout my life (and several birds, too), and I love getting outside for walks/hikes just as much as I enjoy relaxing at home with a good book. I've recently pet sit for 7+ days to help friends and clients travel to new places, see family, and enjoy life without worrying about their pets. I work from home Tuesday - Friday over the summer and have great flexibility during the day. I'm happy to work from your home or simply stop by to feed, play with, and/or walk your pets! I plan to come to your home and play with, walk, and clean up after your pet. I am happy to take them for a walk of any length! I'm happy to come by in the morning or evening to beat the heat, or at lunchtime to give your pet a potty break and some exercise.
About: I have both professional and personal pet care experience as I have worked at a kennel in the past and have owned pets my entire life. I can confidently care for pets of all ages, training levels and health conditions and love doing so! I am currently working part time leaving my weekdays free! However my weekend availability is flexible and varies weekly so I will always be able to make time for your pet! I can happily care for your pet in any way they require wether that is on leash walks, supervise exercise off leash, crating or anything else necessary to ensure you and your pet are happy.
About: Animals have been the heart of my home since I was a child. Growing up with Labs, German Shepherds, and Mastiffs taught me how to be a confident leader and a compassionate caregiver. Today, my black cat Squirt is my best friend, and that same love I have for him is what I bring to every pet I sit for. I pride myself on being a trustworthy and caring sitter. When you leave your pets with me, you can rest easy knowing they are in the hands of someone who genuinely loves their company. I am happy to accommodate different sizes, energy levels, and personalities—I simply love being around animals and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I am currently not working, so my schedule is open. I want to spend my free time with animals of all kinds - making all of us happy and allowing me to feel fulfilled! I am great with animals. Dogs and cats trust me and can tell that I am a genuinely good person. I won't let anything bad happen to your loved ones on my watch!
About: Growing up, I had a Lab and then a Boxer and two cats. I've also helped my aunt at the doggie daycare she runs out of her home where she often has more than 10 dogs at a time. Everything from a Great Pyrenees to German Shepherds to Doodles to Yorkies. And it's always so much fun! The care I'll give your pets will really depend on them and their needs. There's a very large unfenced grass area behind my apartment building that would be perfect for walks or play. And there are multiple parks in the area too we could explore. At yours, I'd keep whatever their normal routine is. Whether that's taking walks, throwing the ball or just sitting and chilling and scratching butts. Their butts of course!

About: I previously co-founded a dog training business, managing client relationships and operations, but I have since stepped away from it. Prior to that, I worked for Coaching for Paws, a renowned dog training business in northern Connecticut. I have been working with dogs for around five years and have experience with training basic obedience, dog walking, dog sitting, and overall care. I currently have most weekdays free to dedicate to your pups’ needs, which allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company. Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate different care needs and maintain reliable routines for pets, helping them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have lots of experience with different dogs and understand the needs of dogs and owners. I am able to meet any needs or criteria.
About: Hello! My name is Nita, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who would be delighted to care for your pets as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve had experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, guinea pigs, and even mice. Our beloved Border Collie, Jasmine, was part of our family for 12 wonderful years, and she gave us countless happy memories. I also regularly cared for my grand dog a sweet Lab mix, Benny. I currently share my home with our spirited lovebird, Gourdon Loveblossom, who is 3½ years old. We even had a goldfish named Goldie who recently passed away amazingly at 23 years old! I’m also a proud “grand-cat” sitter for HB and Kenny in Monroe. They especially enjoy being pushed around the neighborhood in their stroller on beautiful days. I walk a minimum of 10,000 steps every day and would truly enjoy having furry companions join me for walks and outdoor time. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, feeding, stroller walks, playtime, or simply gentle loving care while you’re away, I would be happy to help. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and comfort needs, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pets! I have a part time voiceover and photo businesses that I run from my home in Roxbury. I frequently care for my children's pets. I am reliable and punctual, I prefer to live in the same area nearby to my clients. I like to keep my pet care visits in a 10-ish mile radius of my home. This enables me to get to them fast without worrying about traffic, distance or delays.
About: Rescue dogs capture my heart! Experienced walking senior, rescue and fearful dogs. Happy to check in on your furry family with a cute photo to give you peace of mind while you are away. New to the area and have a flexible day time schedule M-F to visit and walk your pets! Happy to give medicine with instructions as needed. I’m happy to follow your preferred exercise plan for your pet, a snuggle and checkin, a wander around the yard or a walk around the block.
About: I have had cats since I was a baby and had chow chow dogs since I was 13 years old. I also worked at a kennel off and on for 12.5 years. I learned a little training but not a lot. I have worked with all different breeds of dogs. I love snuggling with cats as I grew up with having them in my household. I currently work full time however, full time is 30 hours for me so it allows me to have 3 to 4 days off towards the end of the week depending on the week. We have a large back yard with a dog run and as far as my cat. He is an indoor cat and gets spoiled indoors.
About: I’ve cared for both small and large dogs, including two small dogs and a German Shepherd. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, routines, and providing calm, reliable care. Available for drop-ins, dog walks. House sitting/ and overnight available Friday's and Saturday's. Hours flexible except 5:00–10:00am on weekdays only. Please contact me for booking. Responsible and attentive, I ensure a safe and secure environment for your pets. I follow your routine, handle pets gently, and maintain a clean and comfortable space.
About: With a lifelong passion for animals and decades of hands-on experience with personalized pet care, you can rest assured your pet is in great hands while you are away! I have been a show jumping horse trainer for most of my life, and caring for client’s pets while they were away just fell into place! From horses and dogs to a wide variety of different types of pets, I bring my knowledge, empathy, and commitment to every animal. After years of caring for many “regulars” in Santa Barbara, CA while their owners were away, I recently relocated to Roxbury, CT, where I offer high-quality, attentive care in a safe and serene environment. My property spans over three manicured acres, with more than one acre fully fenced and wired—complete with automatically closing gates—providing a secure, pet-friendly space for dogs to play, explore, and relax under supervision. Whether providing in-home pet care, or hosting animals on my property, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with love, patience, and respect. I look forward to meeting new pets and their owners here in CT! I don’t accept pets from different families at the same time, and when I take on caring for your pet, that is my full time job. My dogs tend to like to run errands with me, when weather permits, so your pet is welcome to join, or they are all also welcome to hang inside my home while I am out. I am never gone for longer than 2 hours at a time, and I am yet to leave my dogs outside in the yard when away with all the wildlife around… I adjust to whatever your pet is most used to when they are in their own home. Fenced in and wire lined 1+ acre grass manicured yard and over two acres of manicured grass outside the fenced yard for those pups once they bond with me and will reliably come when called. Your dog can sleep on my bed or in one of the plush dog beds I have around my home. Each door has an alarm system that sounds when the door is opened, and cameras surrounding the property... I always have eyes even when I am out running errands.
About: I’ve spent several summers caring for both cats and dogs as well as having them in my house growing up! I absolutely love giving them the attention they deserve, whether that’s playtime, walks, or cuddle time. As a 20 year old college student, I bring lots of energy, patience, and genuine love for animals. I enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re part of my own family I currently am a college student with mostly early morning classes, so I am up pretty early. I also am a soccer coach for Wilmington hammer heads which is about 2 hours Monday, Wednesday, Thursday nights. Other than that I am extremely flexible and am never busy for long periods of time! Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, safety and comfort always come first. I make sure pets have a clean, secure space, follow their normal routines, and give them plenty of attention so they feel at ease. My goal is to create an environment where pets are happy, loved, and cared for just like they would be with their family.
About: I'm currently volunteering at Whiskers Cat Rescue cleaning cages and socializing cats. I am comfortable administering medications to cats. I have owned a small dog in the past. My current cats are a wobbly boy with Cerebellar Hypoplasia and a super senior (21yrs!) old lady cat. My schedule is really flexible right now. I'm not free a few times through the week and weekend but for no longer than a few hours. I'm very patient with animals, especially more skittish ones. You need to work with them even if it takes time to develop a relationship or trust.

“Daisy lived her overnight stay with Saori. She came home happy and super relaxed. I loved getting photo updates throughout her stay. I knew Daisy was in good hands and it helped make my trip so much more enjoyable knowing she was safe and well cared for. I’ll be booking again soon.”
“We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Our boxer, Daisy, stayed with Valerie while we vacationed for a week in Florida. Valerie and her family were great from the start, not only with Daisy but also entertaining my eight year old son when we arrived for an introductory visit. They had plenty of room for Daisy to run around and two playful but well behaved dogs of their own that accepted Daisy in. Valerie provided updates during the week to let us know how Daisy was adapting and getting along with everyone and how much her family loved having her. She was also extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times knowing our hectic travel schedule. The next time we go away for an extended period, Valerie is definitely my first contact attempt.”
“We had such a great experience with Jennifer who care of our dog, Daisy, for almost a week. Jennifer was very communicative throughout the week - keeping us updated throughout our trip with thoughtful messages and plenty of photos showing Daisy relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoying her time with Jennifer and her family. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Daisy was in such caring and capable hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jennifer again—highly recommended!”
“Rich was incredibly kind and took great care of our pups. Booking was easy & everything went very well. Our dogs loved his property (lots of outdoor space!) and it was nice for them to get used to being around other dogs. Rich sent us photos of our dogs throughout their stay with him. They looked happy & content. Great experience 😊”
“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”
“Harley’s first vacation with Bruce. She did very well during her stay. Bruce is very attentive and loving. He communicates often making us feel at ease while we were away. I highly recommend him ❤️”
“Nicole was wonderful! She was a great communicator and sent updates and pics of Ava everyday! Ava came home in great spirits and we feel so lucky to have found Nicole! Highly recommend!!”
“Rachael was so good with Swift! He can be a little much, but she took him for lots of hikes and play time and he came home tired, happy, and better behaved. You can tell she loves what she does.”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our boys with anyone. Yajaira was awesome, very warm and left us worry free. We received pics of our boys while we were away and pick went very smoothly! We appreciated this service very much and will call on Yajaira again any time!”
“I've used Veronica at least a couple times at this point and she has been nothing less thank fantastic. She has been fantastic at communication, great at scheduling room, and took amazing care of my Mika! Definitely bwill contact her again and I would encourage anyone to do the same.”
“James and his family were absolutely amazing! We needed last-minute care for our girl after deciding to take a quick overnight trip, and James came through for us in a big way. I sent the booking request just three hours before we needed care, and he responded almost immediately. From the start, James was kind, reliable, and incredibly accommodating. It was clear right away how much he genuinely cares for animals and how dedicated he is to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. We especially loved all the pictures and updates he sent, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Knowing our girl was in such great hands made the whole experience stress-free. We couldn’t be happier and will absolutely be booking with James again. Highly recommend!”
“Our Vizsla stayed with Claudia at her house for 2 days and 1 night. Claudia was so flexible to set up a meet-and-greet and was able to book our dog on a holiday weekend on short notice. She made our dog feel comfortable and loved. Claudia even sent us pictures and updates so we felt good knowing she was doing well. She has a big back yard and lives right across the street from a huge fenced-in park and took our dog there often to play. We recommend Claudia to anyone and will most likely use her again for dog-sitting!”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our dog anywhere else other than our home. It was a little bit stressful, and we had a bit of anxiety, but Erika made us feel so at ease. We received multiple updates during the day. She sent many pictures and really made us feel comfortable knowing that Ginger was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and book again.”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“Robin is always so wonderful with our dog, Adelaide. She does regular drop in visits with her so when we need boarding services, Robin is always our first choice! She shows our dog so much care, attention and love.”
“Dew is the most kind, und loves my dog like he belongs to her. I am so relieved he is with her as I am in bed with a broken ankle. I know he is so well loved and taken care of.”
