Kelsey did great with our energetic puppy. She was very diligent about listening to all the things we told her about our dog, environment and needs. I would highly recommend.

Linda was wonderful! She house Sat/cared for our two dogs while we were away on vacation. She sent us daily updates regarding the dogs, letting us know how they ate, played, etc. and daily photos as well. She was easy to contact and responded quickly. We will gladly have Linda stay with our dogs again soon!

This is the second time Chelsea has come to watch our dog goose. She sent us many pictures during her stay, and it was clear our puppy liked her. Despite being usually nervous around new people, he happily snuggled with Chelsea on the couch. We came home to a clean house, a thank you card, and homemade biscuits for Goose. If Chelsea is available, she is our number one choice for a dog sitter.

About: Hi, I’m Alyssa – your dog’s next best friend! 🐾 Located in Tolland, CT | Flexible Availability | Trusted by Fellow Dog Parents As a lifelong animal lover and proud pup parent, I understand how important it is to find someone reliable, responsible, and caring to look after your furry family member. I was referred to Rover by friends who know how much I adore dogs—and I’ve quickly become the go-to sitter for neighbors and friends alike. I specialize in caring for dogs who may need a little extra love, patience, or consistency—especially rescues or more anxious pups. I recently cared for a young red heeler mix who was too nervous to board, and with time, treats, and a calm presence, we became fast friends. Whether your dog is high-energy or a couch cuddler, I tailor my care to their needs. What I offer: • In-home overnight stays (I’ll treat your pup like one of my own) • Daily walks and enrichment activities • Photo and text updates to keep you in the loop • Flexible scheduling and last-minute availability Let’s set up a meet and greet—I’d love to learn more about your pup and how I can help! I work from home part time so I can be available for your dogs when boarding! I can take them out morning, noon, or night depending on need. If boarding, I have about 1.5 acres of land they can explore or a 30 foot fenced in area in the back. I have a friendly dog who’s about a year old, and a fenced in area. Were ready for whatever your dog may need and more!

I am in the office Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but I am home the majority of weekends and available to stay full time while caring for your home and pets.

I’m also very active and would love to take your pets on walks, play with them, and give them as much attention and companionship as they need! Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home, and I will always treat them with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: I have over 2 years of dog sitting experience and currently work full time at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m experienced with feeding routines, exercise, and group play, and I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I work full time, five days a week, as an opener at The Mellow Mutt, with typical 6-hour shifts. My schedule can occasionally shift, so a bit of flexibility is helpful, but I do my best to keep things consistent for pet owners. I’m also a full-time online student at SNHU, which allows me to stay flexible and available for house sitting needs. I usually work Wednesday afternoons and most of the day Sunday, and my only consistent day off is Saturday, making me available for extended stays and attentive overnight care. While staying in your home, I focus on keeping your dog’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to their feeding, walking, and play schedules, and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I’m very attentive to their behavior and comfort, so I can quickly adjust to their needs and help them feel safe while you’re away. I also keep your home clean and respected, and I’m happy to provide updates so you can feel at ease knowing your dog is well cared for.

Alexis has been an amazing sitter for my babies! The one can be a handful with a combination of hound and puppy energy that can make anyone weary, but Alexis was great with him! I came home to a house that looked better than I left it! She was very communicative and sent photos, too. I am already using her in a few weeks again and wouldn’t hesitate to book again and again!

Sarah was WONDERFUL! My dog loved her (and she doesn't love everybody). We got pictures while we were away of our pup to ease our mind, too. It was such a better experience having Sarah stay with our dog than boarding her plus the added bonus of someone watching over our home, grabbing our mail, etc. She even managed a tricky situation on a walk where another dog escaped their electric fence and followed them. She got my nervous dog home safe and got the other dog to a neighbor! I highly recommend Sarah for your dog sitting/walking needs.
