About: I have been around dogs my entire life and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. As a current dog owner to my energetic 1½-year-old dog, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, exercise, training reinforcement, feeding schedules, and providing lots of love and attention. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets can thrive. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. In addition to my experience with dogs, I have spent years caring for animals through my equestrian background, which has helped me develop strong animal-handling skills, attention to detail, and a calm, responsible approach to animal care. I have spent the last 5 years riding and training horses professionally am really passionate about all things animals ! Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. 🐾 I work as a professional rider and spend much of my day caring for and working with horses, which has given me extensive experience handling animals and maintaining consistent care routines. My schedule can vary depending on training and horse show commitments, but I do my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date and am often available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I always make safety and comfort my top priority when caring for pets. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and routine so they feel relaxed and secure while I’m with them. I’ve grown up around animals and currently work around horses, so I’m very used to reading animal behavior and staying calm and responsible in different situations. I bring that same mindset to every dog I care for.

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and always will be. Animals are my passion and love to help them out whenever I can. I have been walking dogs since the age of 15. I also love to jog and bike ride with dogs. I always make sure to carry toys and treats with me to make the dog's experience just as enjoyable! I currently have two dogs of my own around 60 lbs each. One of my dogs is a high anxiety, high energy pup. Working with her has been a challenge but has only furthered my love and knowledge for dogs. If you have any questions please message me anytime! I am available when you are. I own two dogs of my own as well as a ferret. Pet care is part of my routine every day, all day. Pets are a full time job and I enjoy the work. I currently work full time from home but will be able to accommodate your pet needs.

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember and always have gravitated towards animals since I was a child. I have the most experience with dogs (from dachshunds to labs) but have watched cats from time to time as well. I will do everything in my power to give your pet the best care possible. I have experience with long/short walks, play time (ball throwing etc), cleaning up after animals, and having patience with them! I am available most afternoons after 1pm during the week until 9pm. In terms of weekends, I have free time with notice (3 days notice), mornings/afternoons/nights. I am also willing to work with you if these times do not work. I consider pets to be apart of the family. I have always treated my pets with respect, along with asserting dominance as I am the owner. I always show my love and affection while making sure they know I am in charge.

About: I am a previous Veterinary Technician looking for some extra play time with your animals! I have had animals my entire life, whether it be reptiles, dogs or cats & have had experience with other animals as well. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, and even have experience with special needs and rescue animals. I can offer drop ins, walks & overall pet care for your animal. Drop ins would include potty breaks, play time, feeding (if needed) & making sure water bowls are full. Walks would include a 20-30 minute walk (depending on the weather) with play time & feeding (if needed) & changing water bowl as well. I am open to working with all kinds of animals & promise to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! 😊 I am currently a student and will be on break for the summer, so my schedule is pretty open. I’m also an artist so I am able to make my own hours around a client’s needs! As a Vet Technician, it’s always important to think of the animal in your care as your own. That’s something I’ve always tried to do to make myself, the animal and the owner as comfortable as possible. I always have lots of open communication and send lots of photos to the owner to build trust!

About: I have had a passion for animals since I was little! I love meeting new furry faces and making friends! Snuggles and belly rubs are a must! I bring treats with me to work for all the pups I see on my route! If it’s nice out, I enjoy running around outside or going on hikes. If it gets cooler, I prefer stretching out on the couch. Car rides are always welcome! Visits to the dog park are fun too! Even if they’re safe off leash, I’ll always keep them on leash to prevent any accidents! Muzzled or non-muzzled, I’ll be happy! If you have a list of what they need for food or other supplies, I should be able to follow it no problem!

About: I’m a really active individual and love being outside as much as possible! I have dog sat for various families with varying ages of dogs. I have no pets, so my full attention is for your pet! I’m a grad student at UConn for physical therapy. I live at home, and my class schedule is very light this semester. I will be around most hours of the day to care for your pet. I have a decent sized yard for your pets to get running time. I go on walks on bike paths and hiking trails often, and I would love some company!

“Seriously one of the best experiences with a Rover. Lots of photos lots of communication and a cute little report. Made us feel so good the pets we so cared for.”

About: I'm a stay-at-home parent with a flexible schedule and a love for dogs (and cats and horses and so on😸). I offer dependable dog walks and daily check-ins to help keep your pup happy and cared for while you're away. I'm professional, experienced, and always focused on providing safe, attentive care. Since my kids sometimes join me on walks, I ask that your dog is comfortable around children and strollers. Whether it's a daily stroll or a quick drop-in, you can count on me for reliable, thoughtful pet care. I can administer medication, drive to and from the park, and give a good brushing if needed. I am available most days, and can work around anyone's schedule. Even on little league days, you can count on a drop in or a quick stroll! I offer rides too and from the park or my own fenced in yard, I will ALWAYS keep your dog on a lead and return them to their crate if need be.

About: Not only did I grow up around dogs (one of my own and many neighbors’ dogs who I helped sit for), but I am also currently a proud dog mom to five medium-to-large dogs who are my entire life, some of whom I’ve raised from 8 weeks all the way through senior-hood. I have fostered over a dozen other dogs in addition to my own of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have cared for dogs with both medical and behavioral issues as well. I work from home four days a week with minimal meetings and plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I don’t travel for my job. I do have commitments some evenings after 4pm. I have a fenced yard and very friendly dogs who would love to have a playmate! I also have two spare bedrooms to keep dogs separate if they need their own space or some quiet time. I have plenty of dog-safe brain teasers and puzzles to get their brains working as well. I do triathlons in my spare time and love to go for walks/runs with pups too!
