“Enzo can be a shy guy and a little nervous but Lauren did everything to make him feel comfortable including checking in with me, which I truly appreciate. He came home happy and tired and we would use Lauren again!”
“Excellent sitters for my dog! Great communication before and during stay. They were thoughtful and intentional with the care they provided. I will definitely ask for their help again in the future!”
“Cara and her family had me completely at ease from our meet & greet through my dog’s stay. Cara shared photos every day and included notes - allowed me to remain confident in Fiona’s care. Cara is very responsive and excellent with communicating.”
“Ashley, Shayne and their boys are such a wonderful family. Ruby had a wonderful time with them this weekend. I can truly tell how much their care about their animals and treated Ruby just the same for the 4 days she was with them. Their fenced yard is perfect for pups to play in and we felt very comfortable that Ruby would be safe in their home. Ashley responded to any message before and during Ruby's stay promptly, and sent me photos, videos and updates throughout the day while we were away. I could tell Ruby was having a great time playing with their dog, Axel (he's such a sweetie), and she's come home suitably tired! I honestly can't fault Ashley and her family and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you!”
“Michelle was great with our Enzo. She sent lots of updates with pictures and videos and I know he was well loved. The day we picked him up he slept all afternoon and was such a happy dog. Will absolutely use Michelle again.”
“Abby sent great photos and made Lucas part of her family. It’s his first over night experience when he returned to me happy and calm (and tired) instead of stressed. I recommend her totally”
“Faustine took our kids on with fairly short notice and one of our furry children is a little difficult when it comes to meeting new people. She handled it with grace and I think may have actually managed to convince our child that she wasn't so bad. Impressive! Will definitely be reaching out in the future if we need a sitter and Faustine is still at it. ❤️”
“Steve, Keely, and their dog Sabra were warm and welcoming to Nyla. They were responsive each time we reached out, sent plenty of updates, and were diligent in following the care instructions we provided. We were very comforted that our dog was so well cared for by them and would recommend them to anyone in need of a sitter.”
“Hannah saved my wedding day!! Our scheduled dog sitter (not from Rover) cancelled on us two days before our out-of-state wedding, and Hannah not only filled in last minute, she might be our pups favorite person💖 She is incredibly warm, they took to her immediately, and we were so grateful 🙏 Got lots of photos of them just relaxing around her and were able to enjoy our wedding day stress free. Thanks so much, Hannah!!”
“Althea was great with our nervous & shy rescue dog. Patient and flexible when our holiday travel plans were in flux. Cleo got plenty of exercise with trail walks and playtime with other dogs, and we enjoyed all the photos Althea sent. Thank you!”
“Heather was very quick to respond when I was looking for a dog sitter. She is very responsive and always kept me updated! My dog had a little upset stomach and she did give him some pumpkin puree :) I would definitely rebook with Heather and highly recommend!!”
“Nataliya was amazing!! My dog Max had so much fun playing with the other dogs this past weekend! Nataliya did a great job with Max and updated me every day (multiple times throughout each day) with photos and videos. Would 100% go back if I ever need to. Thanks again!!”
“Grace was amazing! She was able to accommodate our dog's personality quirks and we were able to rest easy while Basil stayed with her. She was kind and attentive and gave updates on how our pup was doing. Thanks to Grace we were able to fully relax and enjoy the family wedding we were in town for! I only wish we lived closer so she could be our regular pet sitter!”
“Great people and am amazing, spacious, SAFE place for my dog. Excellent communication. I was happy to share my dog with these exemplary, canine-loving people. Amazing experience.”

“Greta was amazing. My travel plans were disrupted and shifted, and she accommodated and cared for my kitty. She went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend using her.”
“Olivia is fantastic! Our cat was sick this time when she cared for him, and she took that in stride and provided great updates while we were gone. I’m always so appreciative of her care!”
“Althea takes the extra time to make sure the cats are getting the best care! When she found that our cat had thrown up she not only cleaned it all up, but checked the house for more and kept us updated.”
“Allyson cared for our dog for a full week. A prompt message was sent following each visit with a photo or two. We felt at ease that Allyson was going above and beyond to make sure Finn was comfortable while we were away. We are fortunate to have Allyson for our pet care needs!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, from smaller pets like dogs and cats when I was younger to today where I help care for goats and alpacas on my family farm. I also have a young puppy of my own that I’ve been training, so I’m very familiar with routine building and patience when it comes to animals!
“Chichi had a drop-in visit with my dog in anticipation of walking him daily for a couple of weeks. I was impressed by her experience with reactive dogs. She was not at all put off by my dog's fearful reaction to a new person and I am happy to have found someone who understands dog psychology.”
“Megan was so great with taking care of it and buddy. She had great communication every day and sent really cute photos of our gang. We definitely love to have her pet sit for us again.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover who understands that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ve had my own Maine Coon for most of my life, so I’m very familiar with caring for large breeds as well as all the little quirks that make cats so special. In addition to caring for my own cat, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters where I helped care for cats of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and prefers their own space, I’m happy to provide care that matches their individual needs. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust while you’re away. I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of playtime (or quiet companionship if they prefer), and lots of love and attention. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I treat every cat as if they were my own, and I’d love the opportunity to meet yours!
“Andrea did such an amazing job with my kitties! One needs oral meds plus one rubbed into his ear each day, and one needs eye drops. She was able to do it from day 1! The cats loved her and she got great photos of them and sent detailed summaries each day. Will definitely happily book her again if an opportunity arises.”
“We cannot say enough positive things about Valerie! We had a few rotations of sitters to cover the several weeks we were gone (family and a neighbor), and Valerie was definitely the most experienced of them all. Our one cat takes a pill daily, and while he takes it just fine for his mom, he wasn't taking it for the sitters. Valerie came up with safe, creative ways to get him to take his pill. She also left wonderfully detailed check-in notes and was very communicative. We'd highly recommend her if you want peace of mind that someone experienced and compassionate is taking care of your fur children!”
About: My family has owned cats since I was born, at one point having 5 indoor cats and 4 barn cats that were adopted through a shelter’s feral barn cat program. I did gain the trust of one barn cat. I have experience taking care of senior cats as well as diabetic cats. I welcome care for all cats through all life stages.
“Moriah was all-around fantastic! She gave good, clear communication and took wonderful care of our senior cat, Mr. G. Having her housesit was such a relief when we were far from home. I would absolutely book her again!”

“Our puppy had the best time with Greta! She went on lots of walks and loved hanging out with the other doggos. She was super happy and tired at the end of the day! Definitely will book again. Thanks Greta!”
“Heather was an amazing help to me with last-minute notice. This was the 1st doggie day care for my 2 girls, and she took such good care of them. I recommend her highly.”
“Susan and John were great! We have a senior dog and a puppy and both felt right at home with them during their daycare visit. Thank you both for being our pup’s home away from home while we were on vacation and couldn’t take them with us on our day trip!”

Now, I bring these years of experience and love to your furry family members. With a team of of veterinary providers, groomers and emergency contacts in place, you can rest assured that your pets will receive the best possible attention and care.

My home is open to your dog. Jump up on the couch, sleep on the bed, no problem unless you prefer a more structured environment and routine. Your dog will be one of the family here and will have company most all of the time. I also offer a very nice space for cats or for dogs that do not get along well with others. Not a cage or kennel but a finished 20x20 heated and furnished room in my barn loft where we can play and visit one on one.

My dog is my everything and yours will get the same love and care while with me! We do long walks when temperatures allow and brief outdoor breaks during the day to stay cool and get in some exercise! I live in an apartment that is very walkable and has many parks around! My dog is a great playmate for other female dogs, and does good with most boys as well. We love long walks on the many trails in the area and love to explore!
“Heather was amazing!!! She took such great care of my pet and she gave updates throughout the day that gave us a peace of mind! She kept her busy and got all her puppy energy out! Highly recommend her!”
“Thank you Kim for taking care of Stella so well. I could tell right away that Stella felt very comfortable with you. The pictures tell the story. For a somewhat anxious dog, Stella looks relaxed with not a care in the world. Thank you for agreeing to board Stella in October. I have no doubt that she will be well cared for. I won’t hesitate to recommend you to my family and friends Thank you”

“Darrion was a great pet sitter for our dog, Baxter! She was easy to communicate with and very friendly & easy going. We appreciated the tour of her house & yard as well as a meet & greet with her dogs and cat upon arrival, as it made us feel at ease about leaving Baxter with her. The text and photo updates throughout the day were reassuring as well. Baxter enjoyed playing with her dogs and cat. He was tired but happy when we picked him up, so we were happy as well!”
“She had the flexible schedule we needed, since we weren’t sure on what time frame we needed her for! Our dog loved her on first sight and seemed comfortable there. We were puzzled that she used a photo of our dog from a previous card of another sitter. But did get one current photo. Thank you!”

“Althea is the best. Knowledgeable, responsive, flexible, and a great communicator. She has genuine affection for Boo and he loves maintaining such relationships. Plus, in my case, she’s hyper-local and knows the neighborhood. That makes it simpler to meet his needs.”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I’ve grown up with a cat and two labs, so caring for both cats and dogs feels very natural to me. I’m used to everything from playtime and walks to quiet companionship, and I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and personality. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a student at UConn! My schedule and course load is fairly light so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pets! I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their own space and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box or potty needs, medication if needed, and playtime.

Known for strong communication, punctuality, and attention to detail when following care instructions.

In a client’s home, I would carefully follow all provided instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules while respecting the space. I keep pets supervised, maintain clean food and water areas, and ensure doors, leashes, and gates are secure at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and structured routines to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free!
“Megan was super-enthusiastic, clear, and interested in having the best possible interactions and relationship with Boo. At every step, I was reassured by her approach and the way things went. In my experience, you are in good hands when you entrust your pet to Megan, and in my case that adds up to peace of mind when it just wasn’t possible to be there myself.”
