“Ana was awesome!!!! She sent me multiple pictures of my cats throughout my vacation. She was very attentive to them and made sure my special needs cat took his medicine. She was very patient with his antics and made sure he ate his food and was comfortable. She even sent a few videos of them happily purring which was unexpected as they typically avoid strangers. I highly recommend her and would feel safe leaving my cats in her care again.”

“Tyler was great! It was our first time hiring a sitter for our girls and using Rover. Tyler was excellent with communication, and even came to our home twice before our first trip to confirm all of the instructions. Everyday he showed up when he was supposed to and gave a detailed report of how each visit went. He was extremely careful when entering and leaving our home as he was made aware that one of our cats was an escape artist. We were very comfortable having Tyler in our home taking care of our cats and he did a great job! We look forward to our next trip and hiring Tyler to come back. In the past, we've packed up our girls and stress them out to have a family member watch them in their space. Tyler allowed us to keep our girls in their own home with familiarity and in keeping with their same feeding schedule. Our girls were calm when we returned home and didn't skip a beat. I highly recommend Tyler's services!”

About: I’ve done daily visits and taken care of a variety of pets of all different sizes. I’m prepared to work with animals of all needs and am not scared of special requests! I go to a local college during the week but I live near by and am able to drive to client’s houses. My classes have bigger gaps and would be able to visit pets between classes or before or after. I have 10 years of experience handling reptiles and have lived with dogs my whole life. My dogs go on up to 3-4 walks a day and I am able to visit a clients house to pay their pets a visit or take them for walks multiple times daily if needed.

“My cat Watson is a shy kitty and her first instinct to strangers is always hiding. Brittany was very patient with her and got Watson to warm up to her : ) Brittany is awesome and I very much appreciated her! Will definitely book her again next time when I'm out of town.”

“Thomas did a great job with my 2 cats. They are very shy creatures, and don’t come out of hiding for most of the sitters that I have tried, but they were very friendly for him and got lots of snuggles. It is good to know that I have a reliable cat sitting option who my cats really like.”

“Cailey took care of my senior cat for an extended time and took great care of her. Cailey kept me updated on how my cat was doing, including for a period of time where my cat wasn’t eating as much. My cat will do this on occasion so I wasn’t concerned, and appreciated Cailey noticing and checking in with me about that. I would absolutely work with Cailey again, thank you!”

“Lauren was really nice and communicative while watching my 2 cats! She was able to give my kitty his pills while I was gone and checked in and sent photos every time she stopped by. She also answered within a week of when I needed a sitter! Definitely would recommend booking with Lauren :)”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was a little girl. Over the years, I have enjoyed pet sitting for family and friends. I am currently working part time each week, so I have plenty of spare time to hang out with your playful pups and cuddly kittens! I would love to care for your pets in their comfortable home environment! Let’s work together for the best pet-sitting time for your fur babies!
“Thank you for everything, I know we probably put you in a difficult situation but you did a great job under the circumstances. I would definitely highly recommend you to all that needs a dedicated pet caretaker for your caring and professionalism. Thanks again!”
“Crystal and Reda are a lovely couple that take wonderful care of my cats! They always send picture updates and follow all care instructions perfectly. As an anxious pet parent it's so nice to know my girls are in good hands when I book with them!”

About: I went to Highschool at Edwin O Smith where I took animal science class for four years. I then went to UConn and took a livestock animal class for a year. I have pet sitted for all types of animals from dogs and cats to goats and horses. I owned a small goat farm for 5 years as part of an FFA project learning to be an entrepreneur. I know basic veterinarian technician skills from my animal science classes. I have personally owned dogs, fish, birds, rabbits, hamsters. I have the experience to deal with more difficult animals. I will make sure your pet is in an environment that's stress free and full of cuddles. At the moment I am a stay at home mom doing online courses for accounting. Since I’m always home it’s perfect for watching pets 24/7 or going out and feeding, walking, etc.. for periods of time. At my house I have an empty barn with a huge fenced in area for pets to enjoy running free, being outside, playing fetch, or just relaxing in the shade. I also have a fenced in porch where I like to sit outside and watch the day go by with furry friends.
About: I grew up owning 2 dogs and I have experience working in shelters as well as pet stores. I’m an animal lover who knows meeting the specific needs of each pet is necessary and important to complete my job. Currently I work per diem at an animal sanctuary in Ashford. I work with kitties of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments and they all make my day special! I work part time and I have a flexible schedule. I am able to do morning, midday, and night time drop-ins. I love all kinds of animals and I am willing to work with you on scheduling. I will follow your instructions and care for your pet as if it were my own. As someone who has owned pets with various temperaments and medical conditions, I am flexible to accommodations that are needed.
About: I was previous owner of a pit and a chihuahua, I have a love for dogs. I can truly relate to anyone when it comes to someone truly caring about your dog, you want them to be treated like children, cared for like children. It’s something I will provide every time that I am with them, I can truly say dogs know who does it from the heart and who doesn’t. I currently work during the for Autistic support and have been working with children of all age groups for more than 10 years, like I stated before I am previous owner of a pit and chihuahua , they are currently is with my mom due to the move she made and me getting married she wanted to take them with her. The pit is 12 years old and the chihuahua is 7 years old and I still consider them my babies when I go to visit. I was caring for them for 6 years.
About: Ive been taking Ghost for 3 years now. In the past I’ve helped friends take care of their pets. This is a opportunity for me to learn more about pet caregiving. Pet care is integrated into my daily routine and is a source of joy, companionship, and responsibility. For example, each morning and evening there is a time for Ghost and I to eat feed, walk, and play. Other tasks, such as grooming or administering medication, may be performed on a more infrequent basis. I like to know what basic necessities such as food, water, and shelter, as well as regular exercise, grooming, and playtime are for each pet. Depending on the type of pet, it may also involve providing medical care and regular check-ups.
About: Hi all. I have extensive, life long experiences with a variety of animals. From cats and dogs to pet birds, bearded dragons, aquariums and more! I have experience with newborn elderly, and expecting animals, and their unique needs. We currently have a large (150lb) dog, named Hades. We got him after our 2 eldery dogs (1 was a resuce at 2years old, and 1 I had from 4months to 16 years) passed. We have 3 fairly spoiled indoor cats that are living their best lives. I am also certified I'm pet CPR and first aide. I truly love caring for animals and giving them the healthiest, happiest lives possible. I am currently managing our home/family, and working part time from home. I have plenty of time to fill, and a flexible schedule available for your pets needs! We crate train at home for our pets safety. His crate is his happy place, and I believe can be helpful for creating a sense of security.
