Pet Sitting in Colchester

“We were very pleased with Jessica P, and our first time using Rover.com. Jessica provided four drop-in visits for our cat Jane over a three day period. We received a comprehensive listing with checked off tasks and photos of Jane after each visit. Also time arrived and time competed for that visit. We are looking forward to many future drop-in visits and appreciate Jessica's experience, knowledge and enthusiasm dealing with our 14 year old cat”

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

“Absolutely the best!! So loving and gives great walks..despite Augie not being well behaved. Augie loves every minute with Amy.”

About: I’ve done daily visits and taken care of a variety of pets of all different sizes. I’m prepared to work with animals of all needs and am not scared of special requests! I go to a local college during the week but I live near by and am able to drive to client’s houses. My classes have bigger gaps and would be able to visit pets between classes or before or after. I have 10 years of experience handling reptiles and have lived with dogs my whole life. My dogs go on up to 3-4 walks a day and I am able to visit a clients house to pay their pets a visit or take them for walks multiple times daily if needed.

About: As a devoted animal lover who recently lost my beloved senior boy, I am yearning to fill that void by showering other people’s pets with the same love and devotion. Because I work from home on five acres of land, I am able to offer your dog constant companionship and a peaceful, spacious environment. My hands-on experience spans all life stages—from energetic small puppies to elderly dogs needing gentle, specialized care. Having also adopted and rehabilitated dogs and cats with trauma, I understand the deep patience, calm energy, and compassion required to help every pet feel safe, secure, and right at home. I run my own business from home, and I have very flexible hours. Which allows me to provide constant companionship for your pet. Because I am always around, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, ensuring your dog will never be left alone for long stretches and will receive all the playtime, potty breaks and attention they need throughout the day. Whether caring for your dog in your home or mine, safety and emotional comfort are my top priorities. At my house your dog will enjoy peaceful, leashed walks exploring my 5 acres of land, and I bring that same careful attention to walks in your neighborhood. Because I have experience with delicate elderly dogs, tiny puppies and rescues with trauma, I am highly attentive to safety. I always ensure leashes are completely secure and provide a calm soothing presence so pet feels protected. I do have a cat in my home, however they can be separated if needed. I also have a 22- and 12-year-old daughter and 9-year-old boy who miss their dog and will love on your pet as well.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs from friends, family and strangers for about 10 years. From snuggles to walks, your pups will be loved as much as we love our own. I’ve walked dogs, have dogs over for weekends, and I’ve picked up peoples dogs and brought them over to my home to play with my puppies in our fenced in back yard. While I do work Monday - Friday, I am home every weekend as is my husband who is also an avid dog lover. My husband also has 2 days off during the week so if longer boarding were needed or a random weekday was needed for a walk or boarding we could make it all work out! We have two dogs ourselves that really love all other dogs. With a fenced in back yard and a pet friendly home, we would take the best care of your dogs and love them like our own.

About: My love affair with animals started at 8 years old. Fast forward many years later and my passion for animals has only grown. I have 3 fur babies of my own and plan on adding more someday! I am available on weekends but also willing to make arrangements if needed for longer periods. Simply reach out and advise me of your needs. I will try my best to accommodate. Pups are a part of our family so their happiness and safety are mist important to me. Finding the best and safest way to accommodate our fur babies is paramount and varies from owner to owner.

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!

About: I have had family dogs all my life as my mother bred golden retrievers. I got my first dog at 19 and had him for 14 years! I currently have a sheperd/Akita mix named Shiloh who is3 years old I work evenings from home so I am available day time hours for walks. I could possibly be available on Saturdays. I don't want to overbooked myself and want to make sure I can spend time with the dog I am very clean and reliable and conscious of dogs safety. I treat my dog like my child. I always make sure she is happy and safe

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'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!
