Priscilla is awesome. Our dog is very nervous with people and this is the fastest she has gotten comfortable with someone new. She takes great care of our dog and our dog always comes back happy after walks!

About: I’ve had several dogs and cats to take care of since I was 5 years old. I have always loved animals and wanted to work with them in some way, so this is my way to do just that. I currently have a cat and I’m always spending time with my family’s cat and dog. I would love to care for other pets as often as I can. I always make sure that the pet is stimulated and getting enough love and affection. Pets need more than just food and water! I make sure to meet as many needs as possible.

About: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. From a young age, I naturally took on the responsibility of helping care for my family’s dogs, making sure they were fed, exercised, groomed, and given plenty of attention and affection. Providing a safe, loving, and structured environment has always been important to me. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments, including administering medication, basic grooming, and supporting rescue and rehoming efforts. I’ve personally rescued several animals and understand the patience, compassion, and consistency they need to feel secure and happy. I joined Rover because working with animals truly brings me joy. You can trust that your pet will be treated like family and cared for with the same love, responsibility, and attention I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home full-time caring for my baby and my own dogs. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m able to follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and never left alone for long periods. With a flexible schedule and a calm home environment, I can give each pet the time, care, and companionship they deserve. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with close supervision at all times. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications, to help them feel secure and stress-free. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and safe space to relax or play. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their normal routine to keep things familiar and comfortable. I treat every pet and home with the same care and responsibility as I would my own, so owners can feel confident their pets are in safe, loving hands.

Laura is amazing. She was a godsend when I was visiting CT and needed help with the dogs. Great walker and wonderful with the dogs care. When we had a potty accident she not only helped but also brought chicken, pumpkin and rice for my fur babies to help him get over his sick tummy. Can't beat her attention or ability to handle multiple dogs at once.

About: There’s never been a moment in my life where I wasn’t around a dog. I love dogs and treat them the way they deserve, like family. As a bartender I have a pretty flexible schedule. Mostly open during the day when people are at work I am home or running errands. I can give the care and attention your fur baby needs in your home or mine. 💗 I do have my own baby, but that doesn’t take away from how much love I can give yours. I can assure you my cat is shy but friendly and we will introduce them before any long or short term stay if you choose the option of pet care in my home.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of every size and personality since I was 10 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for daily walks, feeding, administering medications, and bathing. I learned early how to care for them with patience, structure, and love. Whether it’s long walks, backyard fetch, cuddles on the couch, or helping with special needs or routines, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and secure. You can count on great communication, timely updates, and lots of photos while you’re gone! I work mostly remote, which allows me to provide structure, attention, and consistent care for your pet throughout the day. I’m able to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and outdoor enrichment, and I’m committed to meeting your pup where they are—whether that’s extra exercise or calm companionship. I also have a 10½-year-old tripawd Labrador who is incredibly gentle and loves greeting new friends. If your dog enjoys company, he’s happy to join; if not, I can easily separate spaces to keep everyone comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I’m experienced working with dogs of different ages, abilities, and temperaments, and I’m happy to accommodate individual needs, including crating or keeping pets separated if that makes them most comfortable. I have a gentle, friendly 10½-year-old tripawd Labrador who loves companionship, but I’m always attentive to body language and personality to ensure every pet feels secure, relaxed, and cared for.
