Personalized care for your dog or cat - Yale
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Yale
“I am in the hospital and my regular sitter needed to go away for the weekend. I booked and confirmed with her very easily. She was great with communication with both myself and the regular sitter who dropped my dog off and picked her up. She regularly updated me with photos of them on a walk and my dog looked very happy in them. Everything went great I would for sure use Angie again.”
“Kym kept me updated of how my pet was doing through texts and pictures while I was out of town and she took really great care of my pet which put me at ease knowing my dog was safe and well cared for.”
“Amber made pick up and drop off quick and easy. She provided updates and photos/videos during our stay and accommodated us when we were running late. Would use her services again.”
“We Love Bailey but the most important part is our dog loves her more. She gets so excited when we pull into Baileys and she sometimes even seems like she doesn’t know if she wants to leave. Bailey is super great and has been very flexible weather it be family emergency and we need someone to eat he her or a preplanned trip she is there.”
“Madison and Brandon were amazing dog sitters for Teddy. They were very patient and worked with him to get to know their three dogs. Very responsive and attentive to Teddy.”
“Chelsie took great care of my little guy, Finn. I met her before my trip and felt comfortable leaving him with her right away. You can tell she put a lot of thought and love into making her home a great place for dogs to stay. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Finn was in good hands. I'll definitely board him with Chelsie again.”
About: I offer a boutique, low-volume dog care experience designed for dogs who thrive in a calmer, more personal environment. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—including high-energy breeds like huskies. My setup is intentionally small (only a few dogs at a time) so each dog gets individual attention, structured play, and a stress-free environment—nothing like overcrowded daycare facilities. Dogs in my care enjoy: • Supervised indoor & outdoor time • Daily walks and structured play • A cozy, home-style environment • Optional fresh, homemade meals • Consistent routines to reduce anxiety I focus heavily on reading dog behavior and creating a balanced, safe group dynamic. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a slower pace, I tailor care to them. This is ideal for owners looking for something more intentional, calm, and personalized for their dog—not a chaotic daycare setting. I offer flexible scheduling for daycare and boarding with a consistent daily routine to keep dogs comfortable. Because I keep my numbers low, each dog gets plenty of attention, structured playtime, and rest throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with drop-off and pick-up times arranged to keep transitions calm and stress-free. Dogs in my care are kept in a safe, structured, low-volume environment designed to reduce stress and overstimulation. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept a small number of dogs to ensure compatibility. Pets are always supervised during play, with designated rest areas for downtime. I can accommodate crate routines if needed and follow each dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Cleanliness, safety, and a calm atmosphere are always my top priorities.
“This was my first time using Rover for my pet Shelby. I was pretty lucky to find a great pet sitter, Jenna was fantastic. She has a wonderful puppy friendly home and is very knowledgeable and loving with animals. I'm grateful my puppy was in good hands.”
“Jemily took care of our dog, Mandy, when we were in Ontario for a family reunion. We appreciated the nightly pics she sent of Mandy, and drop off and pick up was easy. We had a construction-related backup on the Blue Water Bridge on the way over from Michigan, and so we were quite late to drop our dog off, but Jemily was very communicative and reassured us that all was well. Our sense is that Mandy was comfortable there and enjoyed her time there. We would be happy to have Jemily watch her again if the opportunity arises in the future. Thanks Jemily and family!”
“Mary & her husband were fantastic! I could tell that Missy would be well cared for and would enjoy her stay. Mary sent me pictures of their activities throughout the day. I felt very comfortable and at ease, knowing that my little girl was safe and in good hands. I definitely will pick Mary again!”
“Melissa clearly loves dogs, and gave Chloe a happy place to stay. She has a fenced yard, and a dog of her own, so Chloe was not alone at all. Also, she was very accommodating with drop off and pick up, we traveled out of state and had a weather delay on our return, Melissa was very gracious, so we were able to not feel stressed. Thanks, Melissa and Willow!!”
“Great experience. Pickup and drop off were timely, Jason understood what we were asking for with our senior pup, and everything worked out swimmingly. 10/10, would book again. We even got photos while we were gone. I always appreciate that.”
“This was one of the best experiences I have had while using rover. She regularly sent updates and pictures which was great to see. Her and her family took wonderful care of my dog, taking him on many walks, playing, and just relaxing. I cannot put into words how much peace of mind it provided and how sweet it was that they cared for my senior dog in all the perfect ways. Thank you so much!”
“Miranda was amazing and took great care of Otis! She responded quickly, sent me updates and is very friendly. Otis appears to have loved running with the other pups on her large property as he has been snoring since I picked him up! I would highly recommend Miranda!”
“Brittany was amazing with our Teddy! She and her husband took great care of him while my husband and I got married. She sent so many adorable pictures and he had a great time with the other dogs & Brittany’s family! We would recommend her to anyone! It’s difficult to find people you can trust with your dogs, but Brittany & her husband have our trust! We will gladly have them watch Teddy anytime we need!”

“Carly is FABULOUS! She always leaves a detailed summary of her visits- which is huge with my senior dog and keeping track of bowel habits and tinkles.

About: Hi there! I'm Liz! I am the owner and operator of Critter Care and Rescue! Everyone who knows me, knows that my life revolves around animals! I personally own/foster/rehab dogs, cats, horses, small animals and even wildlife! Professionally, I've worked in the animal field since my first job at a pet boarding facility when I was 17. - I am trained for dog/cat Heimlich & CPR (have successfully used that training to save a dog's life!) - Over 20 years of experience with practically every domesticated pet - Worked for 3 years professionally as a canine trainer - I do wildlife rehab, and have successfully rehabbed and released numerous wild critters! - I fear no species, breed or size! I own my own company - Critter Care and Rescue! This is my full time job, which allows me the freedom to pick up pet care appointments, even with very short notice. I treat every animal I interact with as if they are my own. I am hyper vigilant about safety- whether that is environmental, the animal's health or the body language an animal is showing. I can guarantee that any animal in my care would be protected with my life.
“I'm very grateful for Angie and her husband. I was a last minute booking the night before amd Angie was very quick to respond to me, a first time Rover user. I was totally unsure of my timing, if it would have to be extended and then after all that I ended up picking my girl up very early. Angie and her husband were very considerate of my needs all along, Bella had a good time, amd I was given updates and pictures. I absolutely recommend Angie, and I will be contacting her again when the need arises. Thank you Angie and family for being so loving to my best girl!”
“We have great things to say about Anushka. She was accepted our appointment request immediately and she was very attentive to our arrival. After a brief discussion she took the lead and we could see right away that Cypress was relaxed with her. While Cypress was only with her for a few hours, based on the pictures she sent and the report she provided, Anushka was clearly in tune with our dog’s needs and Cypress was a happy dog when we picked her up. We look forward to working with Anushka in the future.”
“Renée was awesome! I was working a craft fair nearby and she kept my doggie for two nights and sent me pictures. Next time I do this craft show I will be contacting her and I highly recommend!”
About: Over the years I have watched over many different breeds of dogs, everything from breeding to bathing. I truly enjoy every part of the pet process. We currently have one 8 month old puppy that currently runs the house (or so she thinks) and one cat that actually does run the house. We love them both to the moon and back. I’m available for boarding on weekends at the time so there will be lots of time to play with your pups, maybe even go for a car ride and get a pup cup… I have a fenced yard and a friendly 8 month old puppy to keep your fur baby company while in my care. I can crate your dog if needed…
About: I love pets and handle almost any type of temperament :) Living in the Del Ray area, I've had many opportunities to interact with different breeds and I've never had a dog I couldn't taken care of.

About: *CURRENTLY ACCEPTING EXISTING CLIENTS ONLY* I’m a local dog groomer, part time. I am currently only working with existing clients due to my senior dog’s health. I have my own little hobby farm, where I have dogs, cats, birds, arctic foxes, horses, goats, pigs, and fish! My family takes care of them when I’m taking care of your babies. I’ve fostered multiple orphaned animals as young as 24 hours old. I’ve cared for wild animal orphans until they could get to a rehab. I’ve cared for snakes, lizards, chinchillas, hedgehogs, ferrets, etc. I’ve bottle fed, given injections, and even have given IV fluids to my pets at vet direction. So, animal experience is putting it lightly! I house sit for friends and family frequently, and am looking to expand my services. My oldest pup is a super senior sheltie who needs a little extra love to stay comfortable. I also have a Pyrenees mix with severe storm anxiety that requires medication, so I’m familiar with what that entails. All of my dogs get a kibble diet paired with different supplements based on their individual needs, so I have no problem feeding more complicated diets as instructed. My foxes are primarily raw, and I’ve taken classes on pet nutrition. I’m currently training my red lab pup to be a cardiac alert service prospect, and have gone through maple creek training for obedience and socialization work. I’m constantly studying new techniques and ways to work with animals to keep them healthy and well rounded! My schedule now requires dogs to be left alone for around 6-8 hours a day, as I have to be able to care for my struggling pup. I am able to still do overnights, and weekends! Simply cannot do 24/7 stays. I’m comfortable walking or supervising your dog in a fenced yard, to potty. I can give medications and supplements as directed, to help keep your pet comfortable. If it’s a breed that requires brushing and maintaining while you’re gone? I’m comfortable doing it to prevent matting. Having so many different breeds dogs and cats of my own, under my belt, and having worked with so many others? I’m pretty comfortable with all pets. I’m working on receiving pet CPR classes, as well!
About: Just here to be a friend to your family! I know it's hard to leave them but think about how good it will feel to know your favorite furry friend is in good hands! This is hopefully going to be my job time gig! This is something I really do love to do! And I can't wait to meet your pet! So a good thing about me is I am certified in pet CPR.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. We’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks, so I’ve had my fair share of taking care of animals. We’ve gotten all our animals when they were babies, so I have experience with all ages. I love animals and my home would feel empty without any. I’m currently on summer break and working a part-time job on weekends. I am available during the week and some weekends for walks and drop-in visits. I can stick to a schedule and do everything as close to the pet’s routine as possible. I have plenty of free time to go on walks and/or let them outside in the client’s yard.

“I am in the hospital and my regular sitter needed to go away for the weekend. I booked and confirmed with her very easily. She was great with communication with both myself and the regular sitter who dropped my dog off and picked her up. She regularly updated me with photos of them on a walk and my dog looked very happy in them. Everything went great I would for sure use Angie again.”
“Amber made pick up and drop off quick and easy. She provided updates and photos/videos during our stay and accommodated us when we were running late. Would use her services again.”
“We Love Bailey but the most important part is our dog loves her more. She gets so excited when we pull into Baileys and she sometimes even seems like she doesn’t know if she wants to leave. Bailey is super great and has been very flexible weather it be family emergency and we need someone to eat he her or a preplanned trip she is there.”
“Madison and Brandon were amazing dog sitters for Teddy. They were very patient and worked with him to get to know their three dogs. Very responsive and attentive to Teddy.”
“Chelsie took great care of my little guy, Finn. I met her before my trip and felt comfortable leaving him with her right away. You can tell she put a lot of thought and love into making her home a great place for dogs to stay. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Finn was in good hands. I'll definitely board him with Chelsie again.”
About: I offer a boutique, low-volume dog care experience designed for dogs who thrive in a calmer, more personal environment. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—including high-energy breeds like huskies. My setup is intentionally small (only a few dogs at a time) so each dog gets individual attention, structured play, and a stress-free environment—nothing like overcrowded daycare facilities. Dogs in my care enjoy: • Supervised indoor & outdoor time • Daily walks and structured play • A cozy, home-style environment • Optional fresh, homemade meals • Consistent routines to reduce anxiety I focus heavily on reading dog behavior and creating a balanced, safe group dynamic. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a slower pace, I tailor care to them. This is ideal for owners looking for something more intentional, calm, and personalized for their dog—not a chaotic daycare setting. I offer flexible scheduling for daycare and boarding with a consistent daily routine to keep dogs comfortable. Because I keep my numbers low, each dog gets plenty of attention, structured playtime, and rest throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with drop-off and pick-up times arranged to keep transitions calm and stress-free. Dogs in my care are kept in a safe, structured, low-volume environment designed to reduce stress and overstimulation. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept a small number of dogs to ensure compatibility. Pets are always supervised during play, with designated rest areas for downtime. I can accommodate crate routines if needed and follow each dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Cleanliness, safety, and a calm atmosphere are always my top priorities.
“Jemily took care of our dog, Mandy, when we were in Ontario for a family reunion. We appreciated the nightly pics she sent of Mandy, and drop off and pick up was easy. We had a construction-related backup on the Blue Water Bridge on the way over from Michigan, and so we were quite late to drop our dog off, but Jemily was very communicative and reassured us that all was well. Our sense is that Mandy was comfortable there and enjoyed her time there. We would be happy to have Jemily watch her again if the opportunity arises in the future. Thanks Jemily and family!”
“Melissa clearly loves dogs, and gave Chloe a happy place to stay. She has a fenced yard, and a dog of her own, so Chloe was not alone at all. Also, she was very accommodating with drop off and pick up, we traveled out of state and had a weather delay on our return, Melissa was very gracious, so we were able to not feel stressed. Thanks, Melissa and Willow!!”
“Great experience. Pickup and drop off were timely, Jason understood what we were asking for with our senior pup, and everything worked out swimmingly. 10/10, would book again. We even got photos while we were gone. I always appreciate that.”
“This was one of the best experiences I have had while using rover. She regularly sent updates and pictures which was great to see. Her and her family took wonderful care of my dog, taking him on many walks, playing, and just relaxing. I cannot put into words how much peace of mind it provided and how sweet it was that they cared for my senior dog in all the perfect ways. Thank you so much!”
“Miranda was amazing and took great care of Otis! She responded quickly, sent me updates and is very friendly. Otis appears to have loved running with the other pups on her large property as he has been snoring since I picked him up! I would highly recommend Miranda!”
“Brittany was amazing with our Teddy! She and her husband took great care of him while my husband and I got married. She sent so many adorable pictures and he had a great time with the other dogs & Brittany’s family! We would recommend her to anyone! It’s difficult to find people you can trust with your dogs, but Brittany & her husband have our trust! We will gladly have them watch Teddy anytime we need!”
“Molly does an EXCEPTIONAL job with our home and pets every time. She follows our routine and keeps everything in order while we are away and can relax and trust everything is well cared for. We cannot recommend her and her talent with animals enough. She is beautiful inside and out and gifted with love for pets and plants! 15/10!!”
About: I have volunteered and worked over 10 years with an animal rescue. I have a lot of experience with different dog breeds, ages, personalities, and special needs. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I currently have one dog, a 9year old lab/heeler mix. She is friendly and loves to meet new friends! I currently work part-time from home which allows me to care for your dog full-time. I'm very open and flexible with schedules. I'm available for short or long term stays. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I do have 3 acres for your fur baby to run around and play. I will also akways keep your dog on a leash outside if needed. My home is a caring and loving environment where your dog will feel safe and loved. My husband and I treat our dogs like our kids and will treat yours the same!
“Brandon was FANTASTIC with Sadie and Trixie. They were so excited to see us when we picked them up, but in a way we could tell they were super well cared for. They kept running back to Brandon to make sure he was good and telling him goodbye in their own way. We can tell they developed a great bond and consider him family. They were exhausted and slept the whole way home. This tells us they got tons of good playtime in. Communication was great. We will absolutely have Brandon watch our fur kiddos next time we need to go out of town.”
About: Hey, I’m Jeremy! An animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, and long-time pet caregiver. I’ve been walking dogs since I was 12 and have experience with both cats and dogs since before I can remember. I currently have a cat who I’ve cared for over the past three years, and before moving out on my own, I helped take care of our family’s pets, including three wonderful dogs over the years. I was involved in all parts of their care: daily walks, playtime, feeding, and of course, the less glamorous tasks like picking up after them. I'm patient, dependable, and always aim to make animals feel safe and loved. When I’m not spending time with animals, I work full-time in administration and graphic design at a funeral home. I’m also an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, working with the Cadet Program. I work with youth aged 12 to 18 at the Sarnia Army Cadets, helping them build confidence, leadership, teamwork, and outdoor survival skills in a structured, military environment. I offer dog walking, play dates, house and pet sitting, and pet sitting in my own home. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, relaxed, and cared for. I’m also a photographer — so don’t be surprised if you get a few great shots of your furry friend during our time together! Whether it’s keeping your dog active or making sure your cat feels at home, I treat every pet like family. I can't wait to meet my new fur friend! I work full-time on a 3-week rotating schedule, but I always know my availability in advance. My weekends rotate like this: one weekend I work, the next is a long weekend (Friday to Monday off), and the third is a regular Saturday–Sunday off. I usually have one weekday off as well, which I can use for walks or pet visits. Most days, I’m also able to pop by during my lunch break—usually between 1:30 and 2:30—for a quick walk, play session, or check-in. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space inside for pets to relax. I do have a cat, but she keeps to herself and tends to avoid other animals, so there’s very little interaction unless your pet is especially curious. I keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and free of any hazards. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting yours, I always follow feeding routines, leash rules, and any specific instructions you leave. You’ll also get regular updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
