“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.”
“This was our first experience with Eva and it was very positive. She sat in our home for our dog, who can be skittish and anxious around strangers. Eva coaxed him into a comfort level with her. She took very good care of him and the house. She was conscientious about updating us and sending a daily photo, and was a pleasure to work with. It's great to have found a local sitter like Eva and we hopefully will work together again in the future.”
“I am thrilled to have found Anna! She watched my puppy for an overnight stay and it was a great experience. Anna ensured she understood and followed all of my directions and checklists! Even though I am an over protective dog mom, Anna never made me feel over the top or like an inconvenience. She sent me photos and always asked questions if she had them! I am so excited I have found Anna and hope she can be my puppy’s primary dog sitter long term!”
“Rosy has been house sitting and walking my dog for a few months now. I can confidently say that Rosy is the best sitter I’ve met on Rover! She is such a wonderful and sweet person who puts a smile on my face when I see her. Caring and patient with my anxious/reactive dog who has a lot of quirks and special needs. I can tell she feels kindness and love for my dog and other pets alike. Rosy will pay close attention to any and all instructions you may leave for her and follow through on them with ease. She has always been accommodating with scheduling and provided clear communication. Added bonus, she’s clean and respectful of my home and never leaves a mess behind when she housesits. Thank you always Rosy!!!”
“Terry stayed in our home with Rocky for almost two weeks and was extremely gracious when, due to travel complications , we arrived home at around 4AM! Our home and precious pooch were extremely well cared for. We highly recommend her!”
“Sara was absolutely incredible. She was communicative, prompt, knowledgeable, and put my mind at ease. My pup is an old girl with ailing health and a picky mind when it comes to food. Sara showed up in the creativity to hook my kid up. On top of that, my flight fell through to the next day- she was flexible, allowing me to focus on other matters. Bless. I will definitely be using Sara again in the future. HIGHLY recommend”
“Carolyn was an excellent sitter for our dog Silvie and our kitty cat. I highly recommend her! Carolyn stayed at our home while we were away for one week. She was extremely attentive to our pets and sent us lot of photos and updates so we would not worry. She is excellent with cats as well as dogs and our Silvie just loved her!! Carolyn is an extremely thorough communicator as well. Thanks Carolyn for taking such good care of both of them. We will be in touch soon!!”

About: I had a maltese puppy for 10 years from age 9 weeks onward and most recently had a shih tzu puppy that turned 1 on 5/28/25. In the oast I've had pets including hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and fish of my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your pup will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. Here's what a typical day looks like when your dog is with me: 🐾 Morning (7am–10am): Potty break, breakfast, and a light walk or play session 🐾 Midday (11am–2pm): Walks, potty breaks, enrichment games, or just relaxing cuddle time 🐾 Afternoon (3pm–6pm): Another walk or active playtime in a safe, calm environment 🐾 Evening (7pm–9pm): Dinner, a final potty break, and winding down for the night I'm available for: ✅ Drop-in visits ✅ Dog walking ✅ Puppy care Weekend and holiday availability included! I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, or specific instructions your dog needs to feel comfortable and loved.

I avoid crowded dog parks or risky environments to keep your dog safe. 📝 Trustworthy & Transparent: I communicate clearly, provide updates, and send photos during every visit. You’ll always know how your pet is doing, whether I’m there for 20 minutes or staying the night. Your pet stays safe, your home is respected, and you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, responsible hands.
“Kathryn took great care of our 2 beagles while we were away. I know they'll miss her. She even swept up(they are messy) and cleaned off the kitchen counters. We would definitely request her again, in fact we already did.”
About: From mini to huge! I have experience with many different breeds and ages from new born pups to elderly dogs that just want company. Teacups to bull mastiffs and great danes. More than one dog is not a problem! While Iam with your family I will assure the best care is taken of your child. I currently work a split shift as a school bus driver so Iam looking to fill in my days and weekends with furry friends. I am available holidays. While I'm with your dog(s) I will assure proper walking equipment is used allowing for the safest and best experience is given. With the owners permission your pup may go for a car ride and explore trails, and new sights. Being aware of all surroundings is an essential part to the outings.
About: I have grown up with pets since we were little. I walk daily along Pequot and get plenty of miles in! I would love to shower your pets with care. My work days end around 4 so I've got plenty of time to check in on pets and walk them before you get off work and out of traffic. I'm an early riser too, even on weekends I have a big yard and a designated area in the house for pets. We also have plenty of space for pet beds if your pet prefers to sleep on their own bed. I don't have crates but i have a large home that can accommodate most animals
About: I've watched dogs, cats and even chickens for various friends, family and neighbors for over 10 years. I have experience with various breeds and ages of animals. I work in a hybrid elementary/middle school. I am available before work and anytime after starting around 3. I'm very flexible and can meet any schedule that fits your life. I have raised many dogs from puppies over the years. We have had daschunds, pitbulls and my sisters have large dog such as huskeys that I've helped watch as well.
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.
“Jessica is amazing!!! She is VERY qualified especially with her vet tech expertise 😊 we all love her … attention, reliability, knowledgeable. She stayed at my house with two dogs and they loved her . She kept us updated with pictures of our pups . She is a 10 out of a 10!”

I can’t say enough good things about Terry. She goes above & beyond always. An example is she graciously agreed to fill the bird feeders & kept them filled during frigid temperatures. We thought maybe once, nope. We arrived home super late & she took care of our dogs last potty break & meds so we were able to come home & go to bed. Our pets are happy & we get awesome pictures. Terry is kind, intelligent, considerate, diligent, funny & truly cares about our pets. Having her has been a game changer when we travel.
Dawn quickly won the trust of our very skittish little pup -- more quickly than I've seen Izzy take to anyone! After Dawn was in the house maybe 10 minutes, Izzy was asking her to play with her. And Dawn is a good player! -- as well as an excellent communicator, sending us regular photos and reports. She did not seem put off by Izzy's somewhat complicated dinner regimen, and she took good care of our house as well as of our pup. We are grateful to have found Dawn, and Izzy hopes she will come back for another sit or a walk, soon.
Kiera took great care of our 5yo golden retriever while we were on an 8 day trip. Its such a relief to know our dog is being loved and well cared for while we are away. Kiera sent timely updates and photos and was on top of any health issues our dog had. Also, Kiera always leaves the house cleaner than she finds it!
We have an older dog and he can’t see as well as he used to, so we worried he would have a hard time with a stranger. Eva put our minds at ease! She came and met us in advance and is so sweet and caring!!! We could tell what a good fit it was with her right away and our dog was absolutely smitten! She came and stayed at our house and was a super clear communicator. She provided feedback and pictures and made sure that the hand off at the end of her stay still worked given travel delays etc, Will definitely book her when we go away again. Highly recommend!
Rosy has been house sitting and walking my dog for a few months now. I can confidently say that Rosy is the best sitter I’ve met on Rover! She is such a wonderful and sweet person who puts a smile on my face when I see her. Caring and patient with my anxious/reactive dog who has a lot of quirks and special needs. I can tell she feels kindness and love for my dog and other pets alike. Rosy will pay close attention to any and all instructions you may leave for her and follow through on them with ease. She has always been accommodating with scheduling and provided clear communication. Added bonus, she’s clean and respectful of my home and never leaves a mess behind when she housesits. Thank you always Rosy!!!
Sara is amazing! She made me feel at ease within seconds of meeting her as she was immediately so good with our puppy. You can tell she is a professional & a gifted one at that. She kept us updated with many pictures and status updates. She is also extremely personable. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
I wouldn’t hesitate to book Emma again. We returned to everything in perfect order; she went over and above with gardens to care for in hot weather. Pups were perfect, and again, with a blind senior dog, it was challenging. Plus she’s just a sweet, calm, low key gal. You can’t go wrong.
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!
