About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life including my 11 year old dog. He experiences health issues so I am able to effectively take care of him and make sure he gets daily activities! I am also able to give your pets all the love and attention they deserve, I love pets and hope you’ll love me too! I am currently in school so my hours of service are a little weird but if you reach out with a time, I'll see what I can do! My dog is in his elder years so he sleeps a lot haha. I keep a close eye on him at all times but make sure he is very comfortable and is getting daily exercises to make sure he is in the right spot for his health. I give him so much attention all the time so he knows that he is love and appreciated! I take him on long walks so he is satisfied and talk to him like he’s a real person haha! I’ll treat your fur babies with the same respect like they are my own dog.
“Kelli was fantastic. My shy cat Max always hid when other cat sitters would visit to feed him in the past. The transitions from being alone to our return were always stressful, with a skittish, clingy boy cat. Kelli gently coaxed Max out from the beginning and gave him attention. He looked calm and happy in the Rover pix. When we returned he was definitely happy to see us, but was also calm and well adjusted. Thank you, Kelli!”
“Leah has taken excellent care of our two cats! She is prompt, considerate, and communicative - a true professional! Would absolutely recommend her for your fur babies!”
“Emily did an amazing job keeping me updated on how my cats were doing throughout the time she was watching them. Very caring and compassionate will definitely be using her again!”
About: As a dog owner of 7 years, I know that our pets are part of the family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I try to remain patient and attentive to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. Although I work full-time (8:00–5), I provide reliable pet care mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I can provide consistent and attentive care for your pets. I understand that a pet’s home is their sanctuary and remain mindful when caring for them. I ensure your home and your loved one is treated with care and respect.
“Milo took great care of my baby Grim while I was away. They checked in frequently and made sure my cat had everything he needed until the next visit. They also made sure my home was tidy and free of the mess my cat frequently makes with his litter. Would definitely book them again in the near future!”
“Kaprice was wonderful! She was super communicative in advance and while watching our cat, Nori. She offered to come over and meet Nori in advance of us leaving, which was very helpful! I definitely hope to have Kaprice watch Nori in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 10 years old, and over the years I’ve also pet-sat for friends and neighbors — looking after both their cats and dogs. From daily walks and grooming to playtime and companionship, I truly enjoy keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. I also have a Shiba Inu of my own, so I understand how much love, energy, and attention pets need. I regularly handle vet visits, grooming appointments, and all the daily care that comes with keeping a dog active and well-behaved. I’m friendly, reliable, and trustworthy, and I take pride in providing dependable, careful care to both pets and their owners. My services include in-home pet sitting, workday check-ins, feedings, and cleaning litter boxes, cages, and kennels — everything your pet needs to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 I’m usually available at any time to care for pets. I have a flexible schedule with my other job, which allows me to easily adjust and accommodate the needs of both my clients and their pets. I always respect my clients’ home rules and make sure their pets do too, providing the same level of care, structure, and attention whether the owner is home or away.
About: I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years. All my dogs have been rescues, several have been shy dogs that needed extra TLC. I have a special talent connecting with shy dogs and helping them come out of their shell. I also love working with extroverted dogs who love to play and interact. I have a full-time mostly WFH job. I'm available for after-hour drop ins and walks, weekend visits, overnights, and boarding. I know how hard it can be to find petcare (especially during off hours) and I'd like to help with that. My home is safe and secure with a small fenced in backyard away from the road. I have two dogs to keep your pets company. I can help with crating your dog as well. Our home is quiet, serene, and private.
About: I can't imagine my life without animals. My family has owned several different species of animals since I was born, and I now own a standard poodle and domestic short hair cat. I understand they are not just an animal, but a member of the family who needs to be treated as such. I am comfortable walking, grooming, and feeding any size and aged dog. Walking can either be at a slow pace, or jogging, I just have to be informed prior. If I am dog sitting, I will be sure to give extra pets and loving to each animal, and can also groom the dog if requested. Looking for consistent clients.
“Jessica was very accommodating with my relatively short notice trip. One of my cats can be very shy but he felt comfortable enough to come for most of her visits. Everything looked great when I returned home. I would definitely use Jessica again!”
“Jen was prompt, professional and really great with our cats! Jen sent plenty of pictures and videos of cats at each visit.We are definitely going to use her services again!”
About: I’m very patient with pets. I’ve cared for different types of dogs and sizes since 9 years old including some puppy and potty training, and even washing the pet if needed also I’m pretty timely, caring, understanding, I follow well with any instructions provided to leave you and your pet happy and calm and your pet will have enough backyard space to play around or play indoors. I use this as part time work and usually leave out two days for personal reasons but I am also quite flexible if advised beforehand I have a dog gate inside my house if needed, as well as no harmful products near by . Also I have family members who love dogs and will give plenty of love and attention to your pet so they feel cared for. My backyard has a huge dog cage just in case for separation if anything. Lastly I currently have no pets so no jealously will happen.
About: I’ve had person experience with taking care of pets since I was 10. Often times I have helped with pet sitting family pets as well. With my prior experience, I once had 4 dogs. 2 big and 2 small. Taking them out often even to just play was very highly encouraged at the time. Now currently a cat mom to two kitties :) I can provide the best comfort for your pet. I can easily crate your dog if needed. If something is to be communicated, i’ll reciprocate.
“My cat rarely warms up to people and Crystals photo updates show him all over her :) This is our second time working with Crystal and her updates and visits ease the separation anxiety when you have to leave your pet. I highly recommend working with her!”
About: Dog owners will love my ability to recognize the individuality and personality of their dog and how well I respond to these to these things. For example, if the dog is an introverted weimereiner, I will try some things to get him to play or take a walk. Taking care not to confuse or irritate him. If the dog is an energetic cocker spaniel, I will always be more cautious and aware of the dog "bolting" out an open door or being generally a little unpredictable. I know this from my experience as a cocker spanielowner and a less active Labrador retriever, and most recently - a brother and sister part pit bull - very active breed pair in New Mexico before I moved here to West Haven, CT. Also, a larger, more active dog will need more walking, playing and activity than a dog who takes more time to transition to a new face. All the above should be done with both the awareness of building a functional and stable relationship between myself and the dog along with any input the owner might give on caring for his or her dog. It seems most important to be available on continual and longest terms possible with most any dog for the sake of stability in the dog's life. I love the learning and fun it takes to get to know a dog.
“Amber was fantastic! I was so nervous about leaving my two young kittens but she took amazing care of them and sent tons of pics of them having a blast. I recommend her 100%-we will use her again. She went above and beyond.”
“Our beagle/lab, Tetris, stayed at Kathy's for two days and had a blast. He came back exhausted, either from running around in Kathy's large backyard or playing with Bella and Kathy's other guests, or both. Kathy was extremely responsive and sent regular updates. Already looking forward to the next time we board him!”

Azeen was amazing with my cat!! She took such great care of her, and I can tell my cat really liked her. My cat is very affectionate and kind of annoying about it (i.e. always begging for attention), but Azeen was wonderful with her and gave her plenty of attention. She sent a lot of great pictures of them hanging out, playing, and her brushing my cat (which she loves). She even spent time trying to debug my litter robot when it decided to act up, and set up a backup litterbox when that became necessary. She did the dishes even though I told her it was okay not to, and she generally kept my home very tidy. Most importantly, I had piece of mind knowing she was taking great care of my cat!! Also had very easy and timely communication. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking again.
As always Leah came through for us when we last mintue needed to go out of town for a funeral. Our elderly cat Booger seems to be happier when she comes to see him. It is great to know that our little old man is being cared for and in good company when we can't be here. We appreciate all that she does for him and he clearly seems to love having a new friend visit him.
Jessica is very responsive. We had her visit with our shy cat for 1 hour a day, for 14 days while we were in japan. Despite the significant time difference, we were able to communicate effectively when anything came up. She gave daily update and pics. The house was clean when we returned home. Jessica followed all instructions left for her. Jessica provided very important food monitoring (our cat gets very depressed when we are away, and sometimes stops eating, or even pukes it up sometimes). We really appreciate her efforts and attention to detail, it was well worth the cost for the 14 day 1 hour visits for our peace of mind. Much better experience working with Jessica through Rover than any other pet sitting service we have used in the past. She even brought in our mail for us. We hope to work with her again in the future.
Angela did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away! My cat isn’t always the friendliest with new people, but Angela handled her with such patience and care. I received wonderful updates throughout my trip, which made me feel so much better knowing my cat was in great hands! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. I’d love to have her watch my cat again!
