Pet Sitting Colchester

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. I've worked with puppies before, taking them on walks and reinforcing the basic training their families were already working on to help build a strong foundation. I'm patient, dependable, and happy to follow your pet's routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I'm committed to making them feel safe and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have a very flexible schedule throughout the summer. I'm available for drop-in visits and walks during the day, as well as early mornings and late evenings to accommodate your pet's routine. While I'm not able to provide overnight stays because I have a cat of my own at home, I'm happy to work with you to find times that best fit your pet's needs. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening visit, I'm committed to providing reliable, consistent care. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed by sticking to their normal routine. I follow owners instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any special care your pet requires. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment so they stay happy while their family is away. Although I'm not currently offering pet care in my own home because I have a cat, Bear, I treat every client's home with the same respect and care that I would my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving you peace of mind that your pet is in good hands.

About: I have owned dogs throughout my whole life. At one point Our pack totaled 6. I’ve owned 2 horses, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and a cat. I worked as an apprentice vet tech until the veterinarian died unexpectedly of a heart attack. I have recently pursued more education regarding grooming. I have groomed my own dogs and friends dogs over the years. I am conscientious and will never allow a dog to be in pain seeking medical care immediately. I would like it to be part time to start with the option of going full time further down the road. I am working on grooming lessons, and my current part time job. I believe in being observant of their behaviors and to respond accordingly. Our dogs receive much love and play time. They are allowed to be with us and on our furniture. I realize that many owners frown upon that and I will honor their wishes when caring for their pet

“I am so so happy we found Kristen on Rover! This was our first trip traveling without our pup, and after meeting Kristen, we felt so confident that our pets would be well loved and attended to. She gave prompt updates after her visits with our pup "smiling" in every picture- clearly having a blast! We were so impressed she packed so much into a half hour- walks, fetch, food and potty break. She also went above and beyond caring for our cranky elderly cat. Its a relief to have someone we trust locally to care for our pets as we would, giving us peace of mind to travel. We will 100% be working with Kristen again and highly recommend her!”

“Nina was fantastic in taking care of our kitties. She was flexible when we had last minute schedule changes and super nice and communicative throughout the whole process. We will definitely rebook with her again!”

About: I ve had dogs my entire life. I started dog walking/pet sitting for friends and neighbors when I was 9 years old. I do it today because I Love dogs , all dogs, from puppies to senior dogs. I have always had dogs, mostly Labradors, but have had English bull dogs and a Cairn Terrier too. Dogs are important family members here! We love ours, and enjoy the visits of our families and friends dogs often! I have a 10 month old chocolate Labrador, she is playful , friendly and just a love. She is crate trained, and is in puppy training classes now! I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon! Tracy I work Monday -Friday, but have some flexibility in my schedule. I am always here on weekends, and enjoy walking my dog 3-4day as well as being outdoors .

About: I've had three dogs and one cat in my life! The best parts of my days are spent throwing the ball or going for walks with my pups! I am currently in school and leaving my full time job, have lots of extra time to spend playing with and caring for your animals! I am very aware of my surroundings, always triple checking before completing a task, and love to keep things clean and organized to make for a smooth interaction!

About: I have always had a passion for animals and wildlife. As an experienced former veterinary technician with a degree in Animal Science from the University of Vermont, I stayed true to passion throughout my career. Twice a week I volunteer in the animal clinic at NEAS, the local animal shelter. During the spring, summer and fall I work on the beach as a Conservation Biologist. My love of animals and especially dogs started when I was very little, and continued through my adult life, until I finally got my own little love. Having a high energy German Shepherd means I am used to breeds of all sizes and exercise requirements. My dog and I live a very active lifestyle, with frequent runs, walks and trips to the woods and beach. Even though we live in an apartment, we still make time to stretch our legs! I hope I can help you do the same for your dog. I provide walking services, house visits and medication or fluid administration if needed as part of the pets daily regiment. I am able to walk your dog during the week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (anytime from 9-5) for 30min-1hr (whatever is best for your pet!). Cuddles, kisses and hugs are free of charge! I get just as much joy out of it as your dog does.

About: I have a large yard fully fenced in and a large home for your dog to hang out in! I have two rescue dogs that are like my children who love to play with new doggie friends! I love to play with them in the backyard and give them all the snuggles. I grew up with dogs and even as a child I walked dogs to earn extra money, I will treat your dogs like my own because they too are part of the family and deserve to be treated as so. From over night care or walking your doggies or just check ups your pup(s) they will have the best time with my and my babies! Can’t wait to care for a special part of your family!
