“Ashton did an amazing job caring for my cat, Truffles. Truffles received a lot of love and companionship while I was away, and plenty of play time! I recommend Ashton to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Danielle is awesome! She was very professional and communicative throughout the process. Unless we knew she was in our home, we would have had no idea. She didn't leave anything out of place and it looked like she even took her trash with her. Our trash can was empty and all dishes were put away when we came home. She went above and beyond to respect our home. Our pups were also very comfortable with her. She will be out sitter whenever she is available. We're very happy overall!”
“Robyn is an amazing sitter and we can't wait to book her again! She is very professional and attentive and we fully trust her to stay in our home. Robyn is very prompt and provided us regular updates with pictures of our dog and gave us a real piece of mind while we were away. She's highly recommended!!”
“Bronte was WONDERFUL. We had a bit of a situation with a raccoon and our dog while outside in our fenced yard. Raccoon was looking to have our dog as a meal but Bronte was able to get the dog inside safely and alerted us immediately. Bronte was very patient and loving with our dog, will definitely call upon her again.”
“Natalie was amazing from start to finish, and made everything extremely easy. She sent pictures daily and was very responsive.”
About: I've had dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, fish, and even aquatic frogs in my life since I was about 7 years old. We currently only have guinea pigs in the house, but this past summer we had the joy and pleasure of having our daughter's dog live with us for a few months, and it was glorious! While my daughter was at work, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and playing with her dog. being a biomedical scientist, I am extremely cautious when it comes to giving any pet table food without asking the owner first. I have owned cats for a good part of my life, and occasionally cat-sit for a friend when her apartment is being treated for pests. We have some extended family members that are allergic to cats, so we don't currently have any cats in our home. Because our current schedule doesn't really allow it and because we take pet ownership VERY seriously (meaning cats, and especially dogs need and should have lots of attention) we don't have a dog... but would love to have one sometime in the future. Having Pumpkin (the pup) in our lives was wonderful. To satisfy that love for furry friends, I thought I would offer some services on Rover. I am a retired Neuroscience researcher, but recently went back to school for my BA in Music Composition, so I am always looking for places away from the distractions of my home to work on my compositions. I am not currently working outside of the home, so I have a lot of flexibility. While in Maryland, I often perform with some musical ensembles that hold evening rehearsals that run about 2 hours, so if your pet needs constant supervision, this should be considered. PLEASE NOTE: For overnight, longer-term pet/housesitting I prefer locations in Connecticut. Because some dogs and cats can be stressed by new environments, I would prefer to care for dogs and cats in their own home. One exception is my occasional care for cats that need to be removed from their premises for their own safety (when exterminators are working).
“Jennifer was great! She took care of our pups and they were both well cared for. She also helped us with mail, deliveries and bringing our recycling bin up from the curb. She even brought a toy over for our pup Kuma to play with. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Allyson saved the day! We have a 10 week only puppy and need last minute coverage for the evening. She was quick to respond, and loved and cared for him as her own. She was warm and kind, clearly has a wealth of experience with puppies and dogs, and we already have her booked in the future!”
“Grace was great! Our two cats totally loved her (even the shy one). I definitely recommend booking her and would love to have her watch my babies again :)”
“Faith was fantastic with my dog. As a recent rescue I was nervous about leaving her. Faith was fantastic with her, she’s dog reactive and not easy to walk. Faith even took her for a run! My house was spotless, Gracie was happy, I highly recommend her!”
“Cristen did a great job watching our dog and or home! We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Cristen was responsive and provided a good number of updates during our time away. We would be happy to rebook with her in the future.”
“My gang always loves having Evan because he spoils them, LOL! We get great photos and video throughout the stays. The house looks great when we return. I'll definitely book again!”
“We had Aaron look after our two dogs for 4 days while my husband and I were out of the country. Aaron was great, followed instructions and was sending us texts and pictures to let us know everything is great. If we need someone to look after Nala and Stella again, we will definitely reach out to him!”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with Ryan! Thank you again for watching our boys. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and loving person to watch over your pups!”
“Alison was there when I needed a dog sitter on short notice. She came to meet my dogs and they loved her right away! I have two labradoodles who can be a handful, but Alison didn't have any problem with them. I would recommend Alison to anybody who needs a great house/dog sitter!”
“Jason is always early. My beagle Chloe just loves him. Jason helped me get Chloe in my car because she is over weight . I would highly recommend him.”
“Excellent sitter! Brent took great care of our dog and hedgehog, leaving us with no worries as we enjoyed our family vacation. We will definitely book with Brent again 👍”
“Aryanna was wonderful. The dogs seemed to like her and were content to be with her. Especially the one dog who is very anxious about everything and everyone. Aryanna also took the initiative to take care of some of the chores such as taking the trash out. I really appreciated that. I would definitely rebook with her.”

“To whom it may concern, My name is Braeden, and Pam has been my dear friend since 2018. Not only is she an exceptional woman who is incredibly authentic, endlessly empathetic, and such a gift to have in my life, but she has also on more than one occasional helped me care for my cats during emergencies. Pam generously agreed to care for my cats in a moment's notice, and she was a fantastic caregiver for them in my absence. They were well fed, well loved, and safe in her care. My cat Chili warmed up to her especially quickly! I would recommend Pam to be a caregiver for you all, as I would recommend her to just be in anyone's life in general!”
