About: I’ve had several large breed dogs since I was a child. I am comfortable handling dogs that pull and are like little tanks. My rottie used to stop and sniff everything, and he set our pace on walks. I’m an adjunct English professor, so I can also help your pets with their college admission essays.I am open all summer, but will be teaching in the evenings this fall. I can’t currently care for your pets in my apartment, because my cats said no, but I will be respectful and careful in your home.

“I booked Anna again this past week for daily walks for my pup. He got lots of exercise and playtime and she made sure he had the food and water he needed. Levi loved his time with Levi!”



“Jeanne was so good with my two pups! She was so kind and caring with them! She went above and beyond giving them extra love and homemade treats! She took them out for a walk while I was getting married and made sure we had nothing to worry about with the dogs! She made sure to stay a little extra and play with them! Very personal and professional! Definitely will use her in the future!”


About: I've had dogs, large and small, off and on since I was 9. I'm comfortable working with them and making sure their needs are met. I'm definitely also a cat person and enjoy the chill companionship that they provide. I'm happy to work with you to make sure your fuzzy family members are taken care of as well as I would want my own to be. I am self employed and have a flexible work from home schedule. During the school year, I have flexible availability around pick up and drop off times, and during the summer my hours are even more flexible. Whatever schedule you need, I can probably accommodate (within reason). While I cannot care for your pets in my home at this time, I'm happy to work with you to care for your pets in your home following their usual routine to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible. There's no stock answer for that, as routines will be different for every pet, so please feel free to reach out and we can talk about your pet's specific needs!

“Marie has been walking our German Shepherd Lizzy for a few weeks now and has been great! Very reliable and has even been able to accommodate last minute walks when our schedules have been crazy! Really appreciate her hard work”


“Daniela does a great job and my dog Henry loves her!”


“Heather is wonderful! Maizie cozied up to her immediately, and it's super-clear she and Heather have a tight bond even after just a couple of walks (and belly rubs..). And I get to come home at the end of the day to a very happy and calm pup.”

About: Hello! My name is Chelsea. I first started with Rover about 10 years ago when I was in college. Originally from Connecticut, I moved around a bit during and after college, working with Rover throughout. I have clients in both Philadelphia and Florida and would love to now bring my business to CT! I live in Branford and am self-employed with a fairly flexible schedule. I have availability throughout the day for walks and drop-in visits. I am an experienced animal lover who has grown up with dogs my entire life. I currently have two dogs- Maya and Jax. They were both rescues that each had their own troubles I had to work through with them. Maya is a Rottweiler and a survivor of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. She was very timid when we adopted her. With love, care, and patience over the past two years, she has finally come out of her shell to be a goofy sweetheart. She is a senior now, that requires assistance on stairs and getting up, so I have the capability to help with seniors as well. She’s 85 pounds and I am able to lift her up, so I can assist dogs that need additional mobility help if needed. Jax is another story. He was on the opposite side of the spectrum- very hyper and had severe separation anxiety after being abandoned by two sets of owners. I worked with him to be used to being alone for periods of time and is now able to stay home while I am at work. My previous dog, Morgan, lived to be nearly 15 and had diabetes for the last 5 years of her life. She required 2 insulin shots a day, so I am comfortable with administering medication and dealing with special needs. I am able to work with dogs of all types of personalities. Before I watch your babies, I will have a conversation with you so I can truly understand your dog's needs and to make you feel as comfortable as possible! I run my own small business from home, so I have the flexibility to come to your home for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I am not currently offering pet sitting services at my own home, but will respect your home and leave it as if it were my own.
