“Dana is AWESOME! She is very thorough and loving walker. 10/10 would recommend her to walk your pup. She met with us before she started walking my pup, and my Ollie loved her instantly, and so did we!! She took notes on everything we told her about our pupper. She’s extremely experienced and gives a full report after each walk. Thank you so much Dana! You have made our days so much easier by helping out with our little boy!!”

“Met Josh for an interview and he took his time coming through the door to make sure my dog was comfortable, that was great. We all went for a walk and chatted about what I was expecting as an owner and what was best for my dog. I hired him for a few walks to see how it went and everything was wonderful. Very respectful, sent photos and updated me when he arrived, walked and left. We are very happy to have someone so responsible and kind when we are gone from the house. Shorty says Hire Josh :)”

About: I can cover basic commands, housebreaking, and socialization, ensuring a solid foundation for their future behavior. I am comfortable with pets that require special medical attention.

Freely Space Happily Looking to give the pet a comfortable area and the owner a trustworthy employer who’s best interest is in the pet while they are away.

About: I have owned and been around dogs and cats my whole life. I started out working with small animals when I volunteered at the Connecticut Audubon Society when I was a child and teenager. I also worked at PetSmart in the their Pet Hotel doing doggy daycare. While there, I walked, fed, cleaned up after, and watched over groups of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have also volunteered with Protectors of Animals at their cat shelter for about 2 years now. I have worked with cats of all ages and temperaments. My schedule is very open at the moment. I am able to check up on animals multiple times throughout a weekday and am also available on weekends. I am available to take care of pets in your home, whether you just need me to feed them and let them out a few times a day, or if your pet needs someone to stay with them for longer periods of time. I have reliable transportation in case of emergency. I am comfortable giving pills, but I am not trained on giving injections.

About: I have been walking and dog sitting since I was 14 years old. I love all kinds of dogs, big and small! There isn’t a time I won’t stop and ask someone if I can pet their dog while walking past on the street. Over the past 6 years I have done frequent dog sitting within each dog’s home. I love getting to stay where the dog is already comfortable and they are able to stay within a familiar environment! I absolutely love getting to know each and every dog’s personality and matching their energy. Whether it is a super active hyper pup, or a chill and laid back older pup, I have worked with many different personalities and needs and I will meet them where they need me to be! I am physically able to keep up with high energy dogs, you name it I can keep up with it. Connecting with a dog is one of the greatest feelings and I have developed a bond with each dog that I have cared for and love them as if they are my own! I am currently working part-time for this upcoming school year while searching for a full-time teaching role for next year. The 2025-2026 school year I will be substituting when needed as well as working an aftercare program from 2-6pm. If scheduled to care for a dog in your home or taking them for a walk I can devote my time to them during the day and can be flexible with my substituting schedule! If I am caring for your pet they will be my first priority and I can work things out around their schedule. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority! I will follow their usual routine as provided and ensure that they are feeling cared for and safe. I will spend quality time playing, cuddling, or simply being present with your pet to help reduce any stress of you being away from them. I will take your dog for their usual walks and follow any specific instructions regarding your pets limitations or needs/energy level/desired walking distance. Follow specific feeding instructions as well as refreshing water when needed. I love to send updates and photos of the pet if the owner would like that! I also make it a point to monitor the pet closely to recognize any changes in behavior or ability, and get in touch with the appropriate contact immediately. If staying at your home I can also bring in mail/water plants/follow other home instructions if desired!

About: After many years of asking, I finally received the opportunity to raise my puppy, Shadow and take care of him until his last years. I’m an all around animal lover, and that experience helped enlighten me to the amazing connection between people and their pets! I’ve also worked for a pet supply company where I spent 3 years there, with one of them being a pet care associate. There I was trained on taking care of a wide variety of animals such as kittens / cats, reptiles, aquatics, and small animals like guinea pigs and chinchillas. I’d feed these animals daily, clean up their habitats, and provide them with their medication whenever necessary. I’m a recent graduate and just received my Bachelors degree, but I’m looking to do a bit more work doing something I truly enjoy 😊 I’m currently working Monday- Friday 7-4, but will soon be available Fridays. I’m free weekends, early mornings before I head into work, and later evenings. As long as enough information and resources are provided, I’m completely open to caring for pets with medical conditions, specific dietary guidelines, and other animals besides dogs and cats. Puppies, kittens, small animals, large animals, and elderly animals are all welcomed. When bringing pets outside for their walks or to dog parks I do bring my doggy bags, a small first aid kit, as well as a small air horn specifically meant for stopping animal attacks. Potty time can be limited to specific nearby areas if necessary, or simply walks and can be done every 2 hours. Please make note of any physical limitations to ensure safety during play time 😊

“Sherri has been the perfect fit for Sophie. She instantly bonded with her. Sherri’s is always on time, takes lots of great pictures and lets me know if Sophie is having a good day or she can tell if she is not herself. Great communication, respectful and sweet.”

About: I’ve always loved animals my whole life! I grew up dog/cat sitting for my neighbors, feeding, walking, bathing, etc.. When I moved out of my parents house 3 years ago I began working with a local animal shelter Fostering dogs; youngest ones being 10 weeks, I have also fostered older ones as well! I currently work part time at night a few days a week! I have lots of free time to play and walk your pup(s). I have almost full open availability all weekdays and weekends! I currently don’t have any fur babies of my own where I’m living but my complex has space to walk and play! There are lots of other friendly dogs that live in the complex if you are comfortable with them meeting and saying Hi! I am very respectful of any rules/timelines you may have and can 100% guarantee they will be followed!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood and have a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet like family. Whether it’s a high-energy pup that needs lots of exercise or a senior pet that requires extra care, I make sure each one feels safe and is taken care of. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so they always know their pet is in good hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available for pet care at various times throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I prioritize each pet’s comfort and routine, whether in my home or a client’s. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention while sticking to their usual feeding and bathroom schedules. For pets in my care, I create a stress-free environment, providing walks and mental stimulation based on their needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure their pet feels secure by maintaining their regular routine.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for quite some time. I’ve had cats in my life since the age of 10 who have been house cats that I’ve taken care of, and I’ve personally only owned one dog but I helped with my neighbors dog when he was a puppy and walked him almost every day. I can’t wait to expand my experience here on Rover though! I work part-time on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays! On Tuesdays and Thursdays I do have college but my schedule may change depending on how long I keep my current job! I care for pets in my clients home by making sure they get the proper exercise, take their medication (if applicable), get fed on time, and give them all the attention they need!
