About: I volunteered so much the guy who ran the shelter told me I need more human friends 😅😂 I jog twice a day, once in the morning and right before sunset, and would love to bring your furry friend along with me! I don’t have my own pets so your dog will have all of my attention. Volunteering at an animal shelter for 5 years taught me so much about different breeds. The main thing I learned is that every dog is just as unique as every human. Their like kids, you need to earn their trust and when you do it’s super rewarding. Message me with ANY questions I work from home and have a super flexible schedule. So our required meet and greet can be at your earliest convenience and will only take 5-15 minutes.
“Lauren was amazing. She was very easy to contact both before and during the stay. We have never left my dog ever. She comes with us on trips. However, this was my son's wedding and everyone was staying at an air b&b where there were no dogs allowed. I did not have to worry at all. Lauren sent updates including pictures every day. I am definitely going to call Lauren in the future. I highly recommend her to be your go to sitter.”
About: I don’t have my own pet anymore as he passed from old age. I like to take care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation and care for them with as much love as if they were my own. I will stay at your home if needed , schedule potty break services as well. I work at an elementary school so let out before I go to work and right after, evenings and bed time. I will take care of pets in clients home with care plan that fits the pets needs. Give them plenty of attention and care to take away any worries when you are away.
“Anna was very communicative before and during our booking. She sent both photos and videos, which were very much appreciated. We had an issue with our house while Anna was dropping in, and she was very helpful while we were stressing out.”
About: I grew up with 3 dogs, today both my sisters have a dog; a Golden Retriever & a German Shepard. I have watched and cared for both of them, as well as pet/house sitting for other family & friends. I also became a cat dad when I adopted a six year old cat three years ago! I just moved to CT so while I search for a job I decided to join Rover!! 6am-10pm 7 days a week I am available! I can be an early bird or a night owl & I love all animals! I can take your pet on a long run or a short walk and anything in between! Most of my experience is with bigger dog breeds like German Shepard, Golden Retriever, & Pit Bull. I have also cared for French Bull Dogs and other unknown dog breeds. I would love to work with any animals! My favorite part is learning how unique each animals is & getting to know their personalities!!
“Terry was great - very communicative and provided plenty of updates and photos while we were away. She is very thorough in making sure the situation is a good fit before booking and verifying that she has all the information needed to care for your pet. Our dog looked like she was having a great time, and we returned to a clean house and a happy dog. :) Highly recommended and would definitely book again.”
“Thank you Cody for taking care of our crazy GSD and Fanny. Cody was very patient and accommodating with our needs and dog sitting in our place very last minute, we appreciate your flexibility and fun photo updates throughout the day! Highly recommend.”

“Cannot say enough good things about Tara. She was loving, caring, conscientious, and overall pleasure to watch my Harley. I am so grateful that she could come on short notice and really cares about people and the animals she takes care of. I would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Sara was very responsive to our communication. Easy to communicate. My dog Gracie was able to bond with Sara very quickly. Sara updated us on her stay with pics. Sara was able to experience that Gracie has no idea of personal space. I would highly recommend her to others.”
About: We care for our furry friends as if they are our children. We’ve never met a dog we didn’t fall in love with. I started training with dogs when I was in elementary school and never stopped. I got my Doberman Rowan right after graduating college and trained him myself starting at 8 weeks old. He grew into the most intelligent and obedient dog who blew away everyone with his performance and kind and calm nature. We know how important consistency is with ongoing training and we will be sure to conform to whatever your preferences are. Our Rowan had a series of health issues including several emergency events which taught us much about not only how to handle emergencies but also how to prevent them with careful monitoring, medicine administering, and providing them what they need. Our training continued when we foster-failed with our mix Suki, a friendly, mild mannered and sweet 1.5 year old. While our Rowan only lives on in spirit, Suki will entertain, play, and cuddle with your friend like they’re her sister. With my fully remote job I’m home all day. Cloé is a PhD student with variable schedules, so between the two of us your dog will get lots of stimulation, care, and attention. Please feel free to ask any and all questions. We’re here to help! If your dog is reliable off leash we have many options to get them exercised. I often run with Suki at Bluff Point and if your dog is up for it they could easily join us. We also take our dogs to several other trails in the surrounding area to provide them with stimulation through smells, meeting other dogs, and chasing squirrels. We truly know what it means to give your dog the stimulation and care they need. Our heart would hurt too much otherwise!
“Nastia was excellent! She had great questions during our meet and greet that showed me how contentious she is. She was a great communicator before and during the visit. She had a minor issue come up with my dogs and she immediately called me to discuss it. I was grateful that she reached out. The call and how she managed the issue made me really trust her judgement and professionalism. I’m so glad we found her and we will certainly use her again.”
About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was a kid, my home was my zoo. Based on this, I always had a soft spot for pets and took every chance to take care of friends and family pets. As I grew up, it became my hobby to volunteer in shelters and petsit. I currently am a mom of a Husky, a Shitzu, a cat, and a fish! I would be more than happy to be there for your pet and their needs. Bonus points: As a husky mom, I can be very active. As a cat mom, I know when to give space and let them nap! I work as a Bilingual tutor in a high school in the mornings. However, this summer I will be available 24/7 to attend to your pet's needs. When it comes to my home, I have a big backyard where your pet can have the freedom to run freely and two friendly dogs who are up to play 24/7, however, there's the option of opting for the company if your pet is not comfortable around other pets. When it comes to a client’s home, I'll ensure the safety of the pet and the house, reporting everything in detail and offering extended stay periods.
About: Growing up we always had dogs and cats in our home. Once turned adult I was always the go to dog/cat/house sitter. I’m retired LEO and have a lot of time on my hands to share with my pup and yours! I’m currently retired and have no fixed schedule at the moment. My husband is only off Sunday and Monday and would prefer not to work while he’s off but am willing to compromise! I do live in an apartment but have a walking trail just 7 minutes away that my pup loves. Plus the complex is pet and walk friendly.
“Zoe was an awesome sitter! She stayed the night at our house while my partner and I visited family out of state. We came back to very Happy dogs and a house just the way we left it. Managed a lot of instruction given we have two dogs to look after, and she handled it very well. Super friendly, would recommend!”
About: I have hands on experience with both energetic puppies and senior pets who need extra attention, gentle handling, and sometimes medication. I’m confident in managing different temperaments, following routines closely, and creating a calm, safe environment, genuine love will never miss. I'm currently free and taking a break during summer as I wanna be home training my pup so I this time sets perfect to make connections with other pets as well and emphasize doggie daycare and my services in rover. House with a fenced, green and shade backyard, crate in case client wants use it, different cognitive toys, and a buddy to play with will make your pet feel love as safe and sound.
“I have two cats that get very upset when I'm away, but Emma took care of them like they were her own and they were two happy boys when I got back. So grateful for the care and thought she put into our boys and our home”
“Tessa watched our sometimes nervous dog and our cat while we were away and sent us updates and photos throughout the weekend. From the pictures we could tell our dog was completely as ease and enjoying their time together which made us feel so relaxed. Tessa did a great job, we would highly recommend her!”

“Renee is the best with my dog! Super nice and I can tell Chipmunk loves her. She’s always on time and I for sure feel safe with her babysitting Chipmunk overnight. She always sends a cute pic if they go out. And I love that my baby can still have great human interaction while I’m at work. Needless to say, I definitely recommend Renee, you won’t regret it.”

Elizabeth S.
“Liz has cared for our dog, 3 cats and chickens several times over the past few years. The animals love her and feel very comfortable with her at home. She is a great pet and house sitter. She communicates regularly with updates and I trust that they are safe and looked after while we are away.”
Anna F.
“Anna was very communicative before and during our booking. She sent both photos and videos, which were very much appreciated. We had an issue with our house while Anna was dropping in, and she was very helpful while we were stressing out.”
Connor S.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Connor as a pet sitter/care taker. He is a natural-born animal lover who has never met an animal he didn’t adore (and the feeling is always mutual). There’s an unspoken trust between him and every animal he encounters…it’s clear they sense his kind and gentle nature. As someone who believes that animals are the best judge of character, I’ll let them “speak” for themselves… as they always seem to gravitate toward him with ease, affection, and complete comfort. Any pet in his care is in loving, capable and trustworthy hands”

“Jessica is an incredibly kind, compassionate, responsible human being. I trust her with not only my own life but my own animals. She is an incredible asset to the rover team and quite honestly the epitome of what your employees should strive to be.”

William & Cloe B.
“In my opinion, there are dog sitters—and then there are dog whisperers. When it came to our beloved Shih Tzu, Tanya, I wanted someone with that special instinctive connection. William is exactly that. He didn’t just walk, feed, and play with Tanya—he tuned into her. She trusted him completely, and it was clear she felt safe, stimulated, and truly cared for in his presence. Will has a rare ability to blend play with gentle training, and every time he arrived, Tanya was thrilled to see him. Animals can sense when someone genuinely loves being with them, and Will absolutely does. He’s a great communicator, completely reliable, and someone we felt 100% comfortable leaving Tanya with. I highly recommend him to anyone lucky enough to find him.”

Waterford pet parents share their Rover experiences
Terry is amazing! We've been using her services for over a year now, and it's such a relief to know our pets are in great hands. Her love for animals is obvious and shines through in the way she cares for our babies. We have two dachshunds and three cats, and she stays with them overnight and during the day. Our pups have never been boarded, so having someone we trust to care for them while we're away brings us so much peace of mind.
Our dogs and cat had a great week with Tessa while we were out of town! We could tell from the photos that they were all feeling comfortable and happy which was so good to see. Tessa is a great communicator, very capable, and so sweet with the pets—we would highly recommend her as a sitter!! I know our pets will definitely be excited to have her stay again for future trips :)
Nadya was so wonderful! Both of our pets loved her and we felt very comfortable leaving them in her loving and excellent care. Our dog has separation anxiety and it's been difficult leaving him alone even for an hour or two without coming home to accidents on the carpet or him tearing something up. He did so great with Nadya, who gave him alot of love and cuddles, played with him and took him for a walk. When we came home he was happy and calm. We are so grateful to have found Nadya and can finally feel confident planning some time away from home for date nights or vacations! Highly recommend her services, she is the kindest and sweetest person and will truly love your pet!
We needed someone within a week to watch our two boys. Anna came over and I knew she was going to be amazing with my boys, and she was. The pictures and communication were outstanding. I would recommend Anna to anyone who is looking for a hard-working, dependable and dog loving sitter. To know you can leave your house and dogs with a dependable sitter is the best piece of mind.
Cayton stayed with our three dogs again recently while we were away. Our kids were happy to see her when she arrived and settled in nicely. Cayton regularly texted pictures of them being fed, cuddling, and exploring outside. Having had Cayton dog sit before, we had every confidence that she would care for and protect our three. We highly recommend her.
