“Julia sat for my dog for two nights. She was a wonderful communicator (even before her stay) and provided updates throughout with pictures. I have a high energy dog and she made sure he got plenty of walks and play time. I felt at ease being away and knowing that my dog was in good hands. My home was left exactly as it was found. I will be using Julia again and would highly recommend!”


“Dave took excellent care of my dog. He asked great questions to get to know her, facilitated all her favorite activities, and provided a detailed report of their time together. I highly recommend booking services with Dave, he is my first choice for pet care!”


“Kathryn is awesome!!!! My husband and I had a bad experience with Rover last June with another sitter and haven’t traveled since. After moving to Connecticut, we decided to give it a shot and test it out again for one night. Kathryn was so kind, polite and reassuring that all will be well after listening to our horrid experience last year. She offered two visits before the actual sitting just to get to know our Pep and us. She always showed up the time she said she would. Pep warmed up to her quickly. Dogs know :) During the sitting, she sent multiple updates and went above and beyond. She did everything she could to make sure pep was accommodated and comfortable! She also respected our home and left it as she found it. Will definitely be booking Kathryn again. We can’t thank you enough”


“Katherine was absolutely fantastic! She walked both of our dogs twice a day, kept our home clean and tidy, and communicated with us regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. We came back to happy pups and a spotless house. Highly recommend her!”


“Sadie was wonderful! She is very kind and professional. The house was exactly as we left it and our fur babies were well loved and cared for, we were nervous about using Rover as we never had before but so glad we did. We would trust Sadie watching our home and fur babies anytime!”



“Robin is a wonderful sitter. I have used her for a few years and she is a pleasure to work with. There is usually some concern when leaving my 2 dogs but when I know Robin is there I am really able to enjoy my trip and have no worries. That is priceless. I would definitely recommend Robin to anyone that would need her service.”


“Jade took excellent care of our beloved dog and house. She is very responsive and sends regular updates with lots of pictures. It was so nice to go away and have such peace of mind that our dog was taken care of so well. Your pet is in good hands with Jade!”


“I was delighted seeing my pet was the same happy content dog I left! Such a relief! This isn't always the case and is often my only indication of how things went. I was comfortable with London staying in our space which seems to suit my dog the most, and she did a great job coordinating care with the other sitter as needed as we were gone a while, we split the care. I would definitely call London again. Thanks! London!”


About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve cared for my own pets as well as family members’ and neighbors’ dogs, including handling different temperaments. I’m currently off for the summer, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. In the fall, I may still have limited availability on certain days depending on my schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll treat your home with care, keeping everything clean, tidy, and organized. I won’t bring anyone over — just me and your pet, focused on keeping them happy and stress-free.

About: I have taken care of friend’s pets when they were not present or in the room. When taking out their animals, I’ve prioritized their safety and how they are feeling above all else especially when outside. I am working part time at Lake Compounce, however I am always open to spend my spare time taking care of your animals to make sure they are fed and cared for. I can easily put your animal at rest by giving pats or providing a safe environment for then to relax. I could also play with toys if your animals wants to. I will also be attentive to when a bathroom break is needed and when food should be given to provide a safe environment.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and for over 10 years, I’ve had the joy of caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. At home, I currently care for two large dogs and a couple of cats—though at one point, we had up to five rescue animals under one roof! One of our dogs came to us with both medical and behavioral challenges, so I’m very comfortable providing specialized care, including giving medications (oral and injectable) and working with pets who have specific training needs or require a bit more patience and understanding. As a full-time artist, I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I can provide your pet with the attention, routine, and care they deserve—whether that’s playtime, walks, medication, or simply keeping them company while you're away. I am prepared to follow whatever directions you require for your pet in home. You and your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family member!

About: I have been taking detailed care of pets since I was a 8 years old. I’m more patient with animals than I am with people. Currently undergoing Service Dog Training as well! I’m your dogs dog 😉 Training season is NOW in! My main occupation is seasonal so my paw schedule is more available! Book ASAP before I’m under the “dog pile”. Fenced off area, safety is always top priority! There are three main parks very close to me as well very spacious even including nice walking paths and sitting areas the fury friends will enjoy. I can even crate the pets if desired so or if scenarios seem fit. I’m great at paying attention to detail and multi-tasking when necessary.

About: Hi there! My name is Liv, and I’m a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and temperaments. I know how important it is to feel confident and at ease when someone is looking after your pet, and I’m here to provide exactly that: peace of mind, consistency, and lots of love! Whether your pup needs a playful companion for walks, your kitty wants some cozy company, or your fur baby just needs someone they can trust while you’re away, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique personality and needs. I'm also super communicative and love sending updates and pics, because I know how much it means to stay connected while you're apart. Based in Waterbury, I’m reliable, calm, and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of every animal I care for. Let’s chat and see if I’m a good fit for your pet family! I am currently working full time but I am available during lunch times or evenings or even weekends. I am willing to do whatever to be accommodating to you! I care for my pets and others pets as my own. With love and extreme care. People tend to say that I spoil the animals.

“Lacy saved the day for us!! We had other arrangements that fell through at the last minute and had to go back to the drawing board. We found Lacy and reached out, and on short notice she made herself available for a meet-and-greet and then agreed to sit for us while we were out of town for a wedding. We have a dog with some behavioral needs and who takes anti-anxiety medication, and Lacy was completely comfortable and able to meet his needs, plus those of our second dog and our two cats. She sent updates with photos and made us feel completely comfortable that our babies were in great hands ? Thank you so much Lacy, the crew can’t wait to hang out with you again!”


About: With years of hands-on experience interacting with dogs of all breeds and temperament, I’ve developed a deep understanding and genuine passion for canine care. From working closely with shelter dogs to supervising group play sessions of up to 60 dogs, I’ve learned to manage pet dynamics with patience, awareness and confidence. My background is supported by numerous courses in canine safety, behavior, communication and proper interaction techniques. I’m also trained in administering medications and handling special care needs, ensuring every dog - whether in a home or social setting - receives the attention, respect and care they deserve. I currently work at a dog care facility part time. My schedule varies by day but I remain committed to accommodating my clients whenever possible. When I take care of dogs in a client’s home, I try to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for both the dog and the owner. I stick to the dog’s usual routine- feeding, walks, playtime, and any meds they might need- so they feel comfortable and at home. I also send updates and photos to reassure my clients’ that their pets are happy and doing well.

About: I’ve had my own pets since I was in diapers. I grew up on a farm in Missouri and have always had at least two dogs at once, training most on my own. I went to a vocational high school and specialized in animal care/animal behavior. I’m always the go-to when a friend, neighbor or family member has a question or concern about their dogs. Im currently a stay-at-home mom with a 3 year old 1year old and 2 pups of my own. Im home all day, so my schedule is very flexible. I have two and half acres for pups to run around in. I also have two very friendly dogs to keep your pup company. The yard is not fully fenced in, however I do have a large fenced area in my yard so your dog can freely roam if you’d like. I also have a large crate indoors if that is something your dog needs. And a large 8x20 enclosed heated porch if your dogs need their own space or your not comfortable with them around my dogs.
