“Marysol always takes wonderful care of our kitties and sends us lots of photos and videos!! Thank you for taking such good care of our family!”


“We couldn’t have been more delighted with the care Neha provided for our cat, Riley, over several days. She took the time to meet with us and Riley before our trip, asked thoughtful questions, and showed a genuine interest in making sure he’d be well cared for in our absence. Each day, we received a video update featuring sweet interactions between Riley and Neha, complete with a warm and thoughtful voiceover. It gave us real peace of mind—and joy! We’re thoroughly grateful and absolutely plan to work with her again later this summer!”


“Jana continues to be the best - so thankful I found her for my pets!”


“Lyv and Alieu were excellent sitters. They were communicative and responsive, and clearly very sweet with our dear cats. I felt really good about leaving the house in their hands, and I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. I would absolutely book with them again!”


“Carmen and Alex were AWESOME! They were on time and did a fabulous job communicating throughout the visits with our very sweet (and shy) cat. They did a perfect job with his food and medicine and he was very happy for the company. I will definitely work with them again for our next trip!”


“Ella did a great job. Prompt and loving to our kitties. Good job!”


“Jennifer is consistently great with my elderly cat and his multiple meds. She's also been able to roll with the punches when various things have gone wrong while I'm away, and although I wish she hadn't had to deal with any issues, it does make me feel very confident that she can handle whatever comes up!”


“Karly was great!! On time for every visit and always shared detailed updates with plenty of photos. Made me feel comfortable leaving my kitty at home”


“Kaitlin was great with duck and was readily able to watch Duck for an extra day when we got home a day later than planned. Duck can’t wait to see her again soon!”


About: As an animal lover of all kinds from Guinea pigs to Great Danes, I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own dog and Guinea pigs as well as a year of experience in Emergency and Intensive Veterinary Care working as a Vet Tech Assistant at one of the higher ranked animal hospitals in Connecticut. I have experience working with dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and guinea pigs of all ages and in all different conditions of health. I am trained in animal CPR, Care (cage cleanings, food, water, etc.), walks every 2-4 hours, and more! So if your pet makes a mess or needs a little extra love - there's nothing I can't handle! I am currently home from college for the summer, so I am free most days of the week Mondays through Fridays, from extremely early mornings to later nights! *I will not be in the United States from June 20th until July 5th as I will be visiting family abroad :) In my own home, I have a dog and a guinea pig - this means frequent walks, feedings, plenty of play time and love, cage cleanings, enrichment, nail trimmings (only done by self on guinea pig), and baths every so often. I am of course going to treat your pet as I would my own, not just with plenty of love, but if there are any services you would like done while I am with your pet, let me know!

“Sarah was fantastic! From the first minute I reached out to her until today when I collected my keys, she has been extremely responsive. She sent me daily messages with pictures of my cats during my vacation, which I so appreciated. My house was in perfect order when I returned, she even put away the dishes I had left draining! My cats were so relaxed and happy when I got home. No stress for them, and no stress for me either. Could not have been easier. I have already spoken to her about my fall vacation. I would highly recommend Sarah.”


About: Hi! I’m Joe and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by 12 beagles..yes, 12! My family raised and trained them as hunting dogs, so I learned early on how to read dog behavior, keep up with high-energy pups, and make sure each dog got the attention they needed. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from playful labs to shy rescues. I’ve also helped friends and neighbors with walking, feeding, and even post-surgery recovery care when needed. In college, I cared for a cat (who acted like a dog) and now I share my life with my sweet girl Delilah, a 12-year-old senior dog with plenty of wisdom and personality. I also worked at a horse stable to volunteer for a few years so larger dogs are more than fine! I'm attentive, active, and great with routines whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just someone to hang out with while you're away. I understand how much pets mean to us, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs a companion, a jogging buddy, or a calm and patient presence, I’d love to help. I work weekdays from 8:30 AM to 4 PM, but I can take breaks during the day if you're located nearby for quick drop-ins or walks. I am also an early riser so mornings are not an issue. I'm fully available on weeknights and most weekends, and I’m happy to adjust my workout schedules to make sure your pet’s needs come first. I plan ahead, communicate clearly, and make sure every visit is on time and unrushed. Whether it’s a weekend house sit or weekday walk, I’ll make sure your pet gets consistent care and attention. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for when you're not around. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, staying overnight, or taking your dog for a walk, I make sure everything is done just the way you’d do it. I stick to their routine, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure they’re comfortable and relaxed. I always double-check gates and doors, use secure leashes, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. Your pet’s safety and happiness (and your peace of mind) are what matter most to me.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life - whether they are my own or someone else's. Dogs always gravitated toward my dad (a definite whisperer) and they are the same way with me. Your dog will be treated like my own - they will come back tired and happy. I will ensure they are always in situations in which they are safe and comfortable. I will go above and beyond to make sure that your dog's experience is a great one! I am a full time teacher, but a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am available all day during the summer for drop-ins and long walks. During the school year, I can drop-by and do walks before 8 am and after 3pm. Longer visits and walks will be offered in the afternoons and evenings during the school year. Your dog will be given plenty of well deserved attention. They will get many pats and scratches (plenty of love), lots of playtime, will stay well hydrated, and will be plenty tired from their long walk/hike.

“Karissa was very attentive and detailed in her reports. Super friendly and responsive as well.”


“Margaret is the most professional pet sitter I have ever worked with. She loves animals and I felt so comforted knowing she was taking care of my cat while I’m on vacation. She is an excellent communicator and I will 100% ask her to petsit again. Cannot say enough good things about Margaret.”


About: I’ve had my amazing dog Nalu for almost 5 years and have also been a dog walker for people in my life and neighborhood for multiple years. I love all animals, especially dogs! I am a college student home for the summer and I have a lot of free time when I’m not working so dog walking fits perfectly into my routine! I love being around dogs and I love being outside and walking so it works out perfectly. My dog is pretty well trained so when we go outside she doesn’t need a leash. I leash her when we walk on the roads or in mandatory areas. I am comfortable with dealing with new dogs and new personalities.

“James was an excellent caregiver for my cat. He came over early to see the house and meet Finbar, sent nice updates and pictures. I would be happy to use his services again.”


“Karen doesn’t did an amazing job and we are so thankful for having met her through Rover! Will definitely be working with her a lot in the future. Excellent communication and follow-through, removing any concerns we may have had for our pets care while we were away.”



“I'm very thankful for Wanda because I was away overseas and my previous sitter had to cancel.. this was not a situation any pet parent should ever be put through and I was able to get ahold of Wanda who came to the rescue even without me being there to show her the procedure for taking care of my 2 cats. (Granted, I had a Youtube video giving an overview of the process and I gave her the codes to my lockbox and my home alarm which all went smoothly.)”
