Sarah was absolutely amazing, I really felt so comfortable that my Finnegan was in great hands with her! I was able to get away and literally not have any stress or concerns about my dogs well being! Thank you so much Sarah and thank you for the updates on every visit and the pictures too :)

You will not find a better person to care for your pet. Kristen is caring, attentive, and exactly the type of person I needed to care for my high energy pup while I'm at work. She cares and wants to do what is the best for you and your pet. So happy to have met her, you will not be disappointed!

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!

Nic was exceptional! I always have a wee bit of anxiety leaving my baby in the care of another, especially one I just met, but Nic put my mind at ease the moment I met her! I found her to be reliable, trustworthy, and responsible. She followed instructions to the detail. Nic went above and beyond with her care of Beau and communicated well with lots of updates and pictures. Nic is kind and definitely was comfortable with and caring for my Beau. I will definitely try to hire her again if she is available! :)

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or a quiet walk, I’m fully present and genuinely enjoy every moment I spend with them. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. Pet care routine fits perfectly in my recent schedule, since Im working on my own business and trying to work as a photographer. My schedule is pretty open for now. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety and comfort always come first. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with lots of cozy spots and zero hazards. I follow all your instructions carefully—from feeding and medication to routines and house rules—because consistency helps pets feel secure. I also give regular updates with photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Your trust means everything to me, and I treat every pet like family.

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.

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life, primarily dogs up until high school. In addition to caring for my own family and extended family's pets, I also often pet-sit for my neighbors. I have experience with both large and small dog breeds, as well as cats. I currently work in a lab up at UConn, so I am most free in the evenings and over the weekend for pet care services. As someone with a watchful eye, I can ensure your dog(s) will always have my full attention! And besides, who can't help but look at a dog?!

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to shy cats and everything in between. I’m comfortable with any schedule your pet needs and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I am currently a student so all of my days are flexible. The semester is almost over but next semester I only have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m available for boarding during the week and weekends and everything else is flexible and able to fit into my schedule. There’s plenty of places for them to walk and play. They can easily be crated as well. Anything can be accommodated and done as needed.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 7, from our family cats and dogs to neighbors, friends, and relatives furry friends. I enjoy being around all animals, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I offer boarding, walks, and home check-ins, and I’m available full time and on call whenever your pets need me. I’m available full time Monday through Friday, with possible weekends and on call for last minute needs. I aim to be flexible and reliable for walks, boarding, or home check ins whenever your pets need care. I have a large yard for play and exercise, although it’s not currently fenced. I have one extremely chill cat who’s comfortable around dogs, but will likely keep to herself. I’m very active and happy to take as many walks with your dogs as we can fit into the day, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and care in a safe and loving environment.

About: Hi! I've helped taken care of my family's dog since I was 12, and since then, I've gained experience in caring for multiple dogs and cats. I'm thrilled to help serve my local community. In addition, I've taken multiple animal science courses in my studies at UConn, and have a working knowledge of animal care. I'm a senior studying the life sciences at the University of Connecticut. As a full time student (with extracurriculars), I certainly have a busy schedule, however; that helps motivate me to manage my time and set aside certain days and nights for work! Also, I don't have any class on Fridays or Saturdays, which is perfect for weekend pet sitting needs! I can also overnight pet sit on most nights. Most of my pet sitting work will revolve around ensuring your pet is taken outside (or for a walk) when needed, fed on time (this includes ensuring fresh water is always accessible 24/7!), and given time for playtime (or even time for calm activities, especially if the pet is anxious). This is a fairly standard list of care—so if your pet has needs that differ, please let me know!

Allie was an extremely conscientious pet sitter. She updated me every day & sent a photo of my dog. She generously agree to extend the pet visits for extra days when I was in a jam. I would recommend her highly.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and started pet sitting/walking for neighbors in my early teen years. I would love to help with your dog(s)! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I am free to pop in and take care of your dogs when needed. I love the outdoors and happy to walk your pups in any weather. I have a dog friendly home as I have 2 dogs of my own. Everything they should not be able to play with, chew, or eat is put away. I have a fully fenced .5 acre back yard and extra dog crates as needed.

Sarah is great! I have a crazy pack of family rescue dogs (5) and needed some help letting them out a few days a week when I work late. They all have their quirks and it’s so important they are well cared for and despite the chaos Sarah takes it in stride. Having someone I can trust, who cares and is reliable is such a relief! Thank you Sarah 💜
