“From the moment we met her and she welcomed us into her home, we knew she would be a perfect fit for us and our Molly. She brings your pet into her life and her family and takes care of them. You couldn’t ask for anything more. She sent pictures and kept in contact. I already asked to book her again!! It was huge relief and we are grateful for her!”
“I had a really excellent experience with Cristi and would recommend her services to anyone. I would definitely recommend her and will plan on utilizing her care again in the very near future!”
“Rebecca was amazing with our golden retriever Bella, kept her for 4 nights while we went on vacation. Would send pictures and updates daily! Highly recommended and would love her watch Bella again if needed.”
“Madison and her sister were so great with our boys! Great back yard and we loved all the picture updates! No doubt in our minds that they were very loved and taken care of during our week vacation. So happy our boys now have a ‘home away from home’ :)”
“Our dog had a wonderful time with Dana. She has great accommodations and plenty of rooms for dogs to run and play. She worked with our schedule and was very attentive with Bella. Perfect place to leave your pet.”
“Our Springerdoodle stayed with Christy for three days. We had a meet and greet the week before and Christy asked about numerous things to make sure that we all knew what to expect and how we wanted things like feeding, sleeping, etc. handled. She has a lot of experience caring for dogs, both her own and fosters. She also has a lot of experience in dog sitting. She's a true animal lover!”
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own rescue pup, Wubzy! He’s a high-energy 2-year-old, so I’m very comfortable handling playful, active dogs and making sure they get the attention and exercise they need. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like my own—with patience, love, and care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe and happy. I’m reliable, attentive, and always willing to follow any specific routines or instructions you have for your pet. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve! I’m available weekdays from 7am to about 5pm and full-time on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I can adjust my schedule when needed and will always make sure your pet gets consistent care, playtime, and potty breaks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a clean home where dogs can play and relax. I also have friendly dogs who can keep your pup company if they enjoy being social. I’m able to crate your dog if needed and will always follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and treated like family at all times.
“Rosemarie and her husband are amazing! I know my girls were well taken care of and we got lots of updates throughout our trip about how the girls were doing. We highly recommend booking with Rosemarie!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for 15 years. I have also worked at a vet clinic on kennel stuff and have administrated medication for both cats and dogs. I am currently working part time, and I’m in the process of starting my own business at home so I will be home mostly all day. At home I have a fenced in backyard with lots of room to run. I have a car that I can take dogs to the park and walk as well as being able to get to clients houses. I take care of all animals as if they are my own.
About: Hi I’m Zoë! I love all animals, big and small and have been around them my whole life. >I have owned many different types of animals: dogs, cats, fish, a ferret, guinea pigs, a hedgehog, ect... >I have experience with a spectrum of ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I am good with puppies in training, as well as senior dogs who need accommodations. >Right now I have a dog (Bailey, 3), a farm cat, a fish, and also a flock of ducks. >I also offer yard clean up services and homemade dogfood! >I have been working for Rover since 2023 after I graduated from OSU >I moved to Fairfield County in 2024 I currently work part time at a greenhouse and run my own business. Most of my days are very flexible and I am open to new short and long term clients! On Visits: I’m down stop in and visit your dog, or take them out on a walk in the yard or neighborhood. Feeding, playing, walking, trick training, giving medicine, and having hang time are all in my comfort zone. I can follow specific directions and trust my gut instincts. I love all dogs, big and small. They all have different personalities and I like to take my time to learn a dog and their preferences and tendencies. I always bring a treat with me on meet and greets if allowed, and I understand dog behavior enough to interpret their mood. For Dog Boarding: At my house, we have baby gates to separate the floors of the house, the cat stays upstairs most of the time. I like to have dogs meet on leashes or through a gate, I never leave unfamiliar dogs alone together, and my house is very dog friendly, with hardwood and linoleum and not much floor clutter. Outside, my dog is off leash trained (I know I am spoiled), but all other dogs I keep on a leash if we are outside or on an 100ft rope when we take walks through the field.
“Katie was great! She was able to watch our Bichon even though it was super short notice. When we arrived to pick him up next day we found him cuddling on the couch getting all the attention he could have ever wanted. We definitely recommend her services and we will definitely ask her to watch him again! Thanks so much!”
“Stacey and her family’s home was a perfect stay for Moki Marie. She took walks and had lots of play time with the kids and snuggle time with the whole family. Plus, my feeding directions were followed which is important for Moki’s tummy. If you want your dog loved and cared for with extra attention, I highly recommend Stacey and Bruce and their family!!!! 🥰”
About: I have 5 animals- 4 cats & 1 dog. I have always had such a connection with animals, I enjoy taking care of them & bonding, I have fostered dogs & my animals were all adopted from shelters. I am able to sit for several animals, cats included- as well as walking the animals, feeding, bathing, playing, you name it! I work Monday through Friday I would be available in the evenings after work & early mornings on the weekends! I work from home Monday and Tuesdays so I can provide doggy daycare during those days as well. I do have animals myself so I typically would come home feed and let them out and then I am available all evening! In my clients home I can take them on walks if a yard with a fence is available I still will go out with them have playtime, & still take them on the occasional or everyday walks if that is preferred! I will feed & look after them as well if dog sitting is requested rather than just a walk - I can also help practice things that the dog parent is wanting like crate training, training in general.. I also watch cats so I can play with them, feed & look after also
“This is the second time that my two little dogs have boarded with Laura and her family. They did a great job again taking care of our fur babies! I appreciate how careful and conscientious she is about checking in on the dogs preferences and sending lots of pictures. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful. She kept us updated on our Fur baby which was very helpful. It was our first time being away from home, so we were a little anxious about the process. She made it very easy for us and we will definitely use her services again! In fact I'm pretty sure that Fur baby wants a playdate!”

“Megan is WONDERFUL!!! We were able to galivant all along the eastern seaboard and not worry about our boys. She was absolutely consistent, reliable, trustworthy, and most of all, our boys loved her and looked forward to her morning visits. I cannot say enough about Megan, she will be our back-up cat mom until she doesn't do it anymore.”
About: I cared for my own two cats, so I understand how important it is to keep cats comfortable, safe, and on their routine. I have experience with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and paying attention to each cat’s unique personality. I’m patient, gentle, and respectful of cats who may be shy or independent. I’ll treat your cat like my own and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away.
“Rhonda did amazing watching our 4 month old kitten! We wanted to make sure she could be loved and have plenty of attention while we were on vacation. Rhonda gave daily updates and pictures and our kitten was so comfortable and happy staying with her! It made our trip much better knowing that Wednesday was being cared for so well especially since she was new to being an inside cat! I would definitely recommend Rhonda to anyone needing their animal boarded”
About: I’ve grown up rescuing animals from unfortunate events my entire life. I currently have 6 cats and 3 dogs , all rescued. They range from 7 months - 9 years in age. I work Fulltime from home, 9-5 Monday - Friday with plenty of down time to help everyone with their littles !! I have plenty of free time to help with necessities. My cats are indoor / outdoor , so they get out just like my dogs. My cats stay out longer then my dogs. But my dogs get let out every 1-2 hours. Depending on their needs. My puppy is every hour because she’s young and my older dogs prefer every 2 hours.

I am trustworthy and always on time to the job. I will make sure that I treat your dog the way I would want my dog to be treated.
About: I have lifelong experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments and understand the importance of routine, patience, and a calm environment. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and following detailed care instructions to ensure each cat remains healthy and comfortable. I have also helped take in stray cats, provide care and socialization, and assist with placing them in loving homes, which has given me a strong understanding of feline behavior and trust building. Whether providing in home cat care or drop in visits, I approach every visit with reliability, clear communication, and genuine care. I look forward to meeting your cats and hopefully becoming a trusted, regular caregiver.
About: I have an older dog named Ash I’ve had since he was a puppy. I have since then adopted two kitties named Luigi and Jo and a new dog named Calypso! I have also pet sit for years for close friends. I have also been a kennel tech for around half a year! I can give your pets any meds they may need and play with your higher energy pets! The doggy daycare I work for is about to close, so I will have plenty of time to let your dogs out! I also prefer working weekends. I will always make sure to respect your pets space and boundaries, but make sure they are safe! Making sure to follow specific care instructions is really important to me.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and bring both experience and genuine care to every pet I watch. I was raised on a farm surrounded by animals, and I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, including a small dog I cared for over 16 years. In the last 5 years we have added 2 cats to our pack and an 8-month-old Golden Retriever puppy. I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, routines, and reinforcement of basic training. I also work as an intervention specialist at Bridgeway Academy, which has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to understand behavior — skills that translate naturally to animal care. I have two years of pet sitting experience for family and friends and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
About: I am a Veterinarian Technician been doing this for about 5 years -Pet sitting -Walking/Feeding -Entertaining -Senior care -Puppy Care -understand the needs of pet -Love snuggles I am currently working full time as a veterinary technician. I am free every weekend Friday-Sunday and I am also available throughout the week early morning and after 6pm I am willing to let the pet out multiple times a day, feed and play with pet however long it would want to play. I will be able to follow special instructions, give medication if needed. Can’t forget to give them the snuggles they need while their parents are not there!
About: Not only am I a mother of three furry friends, but I also take the time and effort to consider each pets needs based on their age, comfort level, and personality. Please don’t be worried that because I’m new to Rover I won’t be able to carry out good care. Caring for animals (even farm animals), has been something that’s been carried throughout my family. I will make sure your pet gets stimulated the way YOU want. Whether that’s walks or relaxation. Or whether that’s helping a puppy get adjusted to the leash correctly. I have passion for this field, as well as love for the animals. My average day consists of not only caring for myself, but my furry friends as well. Taking care of animals helps me get set up for my future career, (vet tech) as I’m currently enrolled in colleges courses. My pets travel with me, but when I’m assigned to others care I will occasionally leave them at home. When I’m at home, my babies get all of my attention and as many belly rubs as they want. Safety around animals is a huge component of sitting. I would not just trust anybody with my babies. Supervision 100% of the time I’m in charge of the furry friends. I never want to overstep an animals patience, so learning to trust and cater to the animal is something I’ve adapted to doing. When I’m at others homes, I always take into consideration each pets comfort levels and needs so I can make sure they’re taken care of as much as possible.
“Caitlyn did a great job! She followed the directions I gave her. I felt a lot better leaving my dog comfortable at home instead of at a kennel. I would have Caitlyn take care of my dog again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little kid. My husband and I have owned 3 large dogs for over 10 years now. We have had cats and chickens, and also have owned mules.

I am currently a stay at home mom, so my schedule is very open .. I would come to your home. I do not have a fenced area for other pets. Our animals know their territory and stay safely here.

“Christy was great! We booked her while we were passing through town for a few days. Immediately I knew Zoey would gravitate toward her cheerful yet calm energy. She sent me 3 photos and gave a thorough review of what Zoey enjoyed doing during her stay. Zoey apparently was a social butterfly, mingling with kittens, cats, dogs and even pumpkins during her stay. She warmed up to her not long after we left. I felt at ease knowing Christy fosters dogs from a local rescue, but I felt even better when she correctly read Zoey’s body language upon meeting her of being nervous about being in a new place. She let Zoey come to her, rather than overwhelming her by approaching her and assured me she would introduce her three dogs gradually once Zoey was feeling a little less shy. Many people love dogs, but few genuinely understand dogs the way she does.”

“If we could give Rose and her husband 1000/10 stars we would! We are very picky with where we board our dogs and they fully exceeded our expectations! They totally saved us last minute when our plans changed unexpectedly. Our dogs had so much fun and have been asleep since we picked them up a few hours ago. We definitely recommend them and will be using them for all of our boarding needs the next time we’re in town!”
“This was my first time leaving my pup Reuben with a sitter and Zoe was just the sweetest! She made me feel so comfortable leaving Reuben with her! He seemed like he had a nice, relaxing day when I picked him up which was awesome because sometimes he can be a bit nervous!”

Along with working in Vet Med I have always done petsitting. I have also taken care of rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets and a bearded dragon!

I am available any time satrudays, sundays, and wednesdays. And I am available Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays before 8am and after 6pm. I like to keep your pet's needs in mind. If they are a little more timid, then I will go slow and take the time for them to trust me. If they are active and ready to go, then we will have a fun time playing right off the bat. I will make sure I follow any directions or care instructions you leave for your pet. And I will always love and treat your pet like it is my own!
“My furkids absolutely love going to see their new friends to play. Kara & Paul have a fabulous yard and are wonderful with my pups. I was worried since they had not been away from me before that they might have issues but they enjoy themselves so much I don't think they even miss me. They both come home exhausted and sleep for a couple hours. Love Kara & Paul's pups too..what sweeties!”

About: Experience & Philosophy With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for a diverse array of animals—from dogs and cats to reptiles and small exotics—I bring a deep, foundational understanding of animal behavior and needs to every walk. This extensive background, enriched by my work with animal foster groups, has honed my ability to read subtle cues and adapt to each pet's unique personality and comfort level. I don't just see a walk as a routine task; I view it as a vital opportunity for enrichment, exercise, and building a positive connection. My Approach: Patience & Partnership My core focus is on fostering trust—both with your pet and with you. I believe patience is the cornerstone of a great relationship, so I take the time to let shy or anxious dogs warm up at their own pace, using calm, positive reinforcement. For you, the owner, this means consistent, clear communication and detailed updates, so you always feel confident and connected while you're apart. Your peace of mind and your pet's genuine comfort are my top priorities, ensuring every outing is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your specific expectations. I am self-employed and work from home. Because of this I maintain my own schedule, which means your pets can be my priority when I am with them. My home is an active and engaging space, perfectly suited for dogs who thrive with plenty of stimulation and exercise. As the proud owner of a high-energy herding dog, I have firsthand experience in meeting the needs of active breeds. Our daily life is built around structured enrichment and ample physical activity, from puzzle games and training sessions to long, adventurous walks and play. Your dog won't just be staying with me—they’ll be joining a fun, dynamic routine that keeps their body and mind happily engaged. Your pet’s safety and comfort are paramount. I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-proofed home to ensure a stress-free environment. With a resident expert in canine energy, I am exceptionally attentive to reading play styles and ensuring all interactions are positive and supervised. If your dog loves to play and learn, they will fit right into our active and loving household.

About: I have experience caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments, with a strong background in working with dogs ranging from small breeds to giant breeds such as Neapolitan Mastiffs and Great Danes. In my current household, I care for five dogs, including two dogs over 100 pounds, two medium sized dogs, and one small Chihuahua. I have raised three dogs from puppyhood, giving me hands on experience with puppy behavior, routine reinforcement, and the changing needs of dogs throughout their lives. I am equally comfortable caring for senior dogs and understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and gentle handling as pets age. I also have experience administering medications when needed and carefully follow all care instructions provided by pet owners.

Most of my days are very flexible and I am open to new short and long term clients! On Visits: I’m down stop in and visit your dog, or take them out on a walk in the yard or neighborhood. Feeding, playing, walking, trick training, giving medicine, and having hang time are all in my comfort zone. I can follow specific directions and trust my gut instincts. I love all dogs, big and small. They all have different personalities and I like to take my time to learn a dog and their preferences and tendencies. I always bring a treat with me on meet and greets if allowed, and I understand dog behavior enough to interpret their mood. For Dog Boarding: At my house, we have baby gates to separate the floors of the house, the cat stays upstairs most of the time. I like to have dogs meet on leashes or through a gate, I never leave unfamiliar dogs alone together, and my house is very dog friendly, with hardwood and linoleum and not much floor clutter. Outside, my dog is off leash trained (I know I am spoiled), but all other dogs I keep on a leash if we are outside or on an 100ft rope when we take walks through the field.

I work Monday through Friday I would be available in the evenings after work & early mornings on the weekends! I work from home Monday and Tuesdays so I can provide doggy daycare during those days as well. I do have animals myself so I typically would come home feed and let them out and then I am available all evening! In my clients home I can take them on walks if a yard with a fence is available I still will go out with them have playtime, & still take them on the occasional or everyday walks if that is preferred! I will feed & look after them as well if dog sitting is requested rather than just a walk - I can also help practice things that the dog parent is wanting like crate training, training in general.. I also watch cats so I can play with them, feed & look after also

I appreciate how careful and conscientious she is about checking in on the dogs preferences and sending lots of pictures. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful. She kept us updated on our Fur baby which was very helpful. It was our first time being away from home, so we were a little anxious about the process. She made it very easy for us and we will definitely use her services again! In fact I'm pretty sure that Fur baby wants a playdate!”
“Karen was great with our 7 month old high maintenance Frenchie! She was even able to give her medications that were started right before we left on vacation! Moira had so much fun and was super worn out when we picked her up. Karen sent pictures and even a few videos. We will definitely be using her again in the future so watch our fur baby!”
