About: I am a ER RN working at a hospital so I only work three days a week. So I have been looking at ways to fulfill my four days off by engaging in things that make me happy which of course is the affection of animals. I have experience in fostering dogs as well for months at a time. I have dog walked for my neighbors in my condo complex also. I have also fed my friends and sister’s cats as well when they are out of town. My dog recently passed away last year, so I just wanted a way to spend some quality time with other animals as well. I work three days a week and I have four days off. And I work every other Saturday and Sunday. Depending on my work schedule, I could find time for before and after my shift. I have a very high sense of safety knowing it’s my duty since my main profession is a nurse. So I will make sure pets are safe, and not in any harms way. I have two cats, I always make sure my doors are locked, bathrooms and cabinet doors are closed. During a visit, it will be my duty to make sure animals are safe before I leave. Making sure doors are and fences are closed.

I love animals and am looking forward to meeting yours! You can trust that I will follow your rules and routines for your furry friend. Safety is of the utmost importance. I will treat your pet as if they were my own!
“Sara is amazing, even stopping by my house for an unscheduled visit due to a mechanical glitch on my litter robot. I appreciate her going the extra mile to care for my fur babies even washing out used pet bowls, making sure there are no messes to clean up etc.”
“Isabelle is so sweet and she was great with our boy Boone! We didnt have enough time for her to meet Boone prior to booking so our boy was nervous when she first got there, but she made sure to give him his space and time to warm up to her. It paid off because they spent the evening on the couch together 😊 She followed the schedule we provided and she sent photo and picture updates throughout their time together, which was great. Boone made a new friend so we’ll be sure to book Isabelle again!”
“Sarah was wonderful. She was great with my cats and I felt reassured while on vacation knowing that they were being taken care of while I was out of town. I will definitely be booking Sarah again in the future.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Mermsie! Our kitties loved her. She was attentive and caring, and she made sure they were well looked after while we were away. She also responded quickly to any questions we had before and during our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. Five stars all the way—we would definitely book with her again!”
“Love Rachel!!! She was so quick to respond and respectively adapt to my situation with a smile; and put me at ease immediately. Her photos of my 3 year old black lab Kai are PHENOMENAL and I always feel left out! She has already given me so many training tips and answered a million questions. Kai gets so excited to see her and I am thrilled having someone reliable and experienced giving Kai the quality time and exercise he needs while I am at work. 10/10 recommend!! Just not during Kai's time lol!! Thank you Rachel!!! <3”
“Danae is amazing with our kitty! Every visit we receive a fun, enthusiastic message from her telling us about our kitty’s playtime with her. Plus she includes tons of photos of him too!! I feel blessed to have found Danae! I never have a concern about leaving our little boy when we are away anymore!”
“Diana is wonderful with my two dogs. They love her and I feel so comfortable that she loves them as her own. She always sends notes and pictures and is very responsive. We love her!”
“Rhea was absolutely wonderful with my cat while I was away! She visited twice a day, sent me lots of adorable pictures, and always left little notes with updates. She spoiled him with extra playtime and treats, and I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. I would definitely book with Rhea again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”
“Tinaclem was awesome! Annie is my “dogter” and I am extremely careful about where I leave her. From the beginning, I felt comfortable with Tinaclem, her family and her backyard 😍. Annie has a great time at her relaxation escape! I got daily updates, she went on walks, and kissed Tinaclem goodbye. I am so grateful I found someone trustworthy to watch her in the Danbury area … now I just need someone for my human daughter 😂. I full heartedly recommend Tinaclem! Thank you!!”
About: Hey, I take dogs on adventures! i don't just walk your dog, I make sure they exercise like the animals they are! Honestly i like going outside for hikes just as much as your dog does, so please call or text me to schedule nature hikes for your furry friend! I am pursuing a career in pet Grooming so this would pair perfectly with that career path, and I figure it gives me more experience to work with animals. To keep your dog safe, I'm always watching your dog. I also have the option of strapping a GoPro to your dog so you can see how the walk went. The places I travel are nature trails throughout the county that have safe walking paths and trails.
“Annmarie took care of our two cats while we were away for the holidays. She did a great job taking care of them, kept their litter boxes tidy, and was communicative and helpful throughout our time away. She helped us out by bringing in packages, alerting us to a beeping sound in our boiler room, and keeping our kitties cared for. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Tara was an amazing sitter! It was my first time using Rover and was naturally hesitant, but she made it a great experience. She sent many pictures, was very responsive, and really spent quality time with my pet during the visits. I would definitely recommend her and plan on reaching out to her in the future.”
“Danae is wonderful! She sent me pics everyday with a status update and even watered our plants and brought in the mail. I know my loves are in good hands with her when we leave which makes leaving them so much easier on my kitty mama's heart. ?”
About: I have experience with all dogs sizes, especially large breeds. I watched my childhood dogs go from puppies to seniors. From this, I’m able to administer medicine. I currently work from home remotely, so it is very flexible for me. With my current houses, I am able to bring my laptop and work there to allow no interruptions into your pet’s daily routine I care for your pets as if they were my own. When I’m in your home, I tried to make it as if I was never there to allow you to feel fully relaxed up upon coming home from your time away.
“Jenn is an outstanding dog walker. She has great training skills taught our puppy how to ‘leave it’ and reinforces other good behaviors. She is reliable and trustworthy. We strongly recommend her!!!”
About: Rachael started her journey with dogs in 2006 with her Border Collie Emme, since then she has spent her entire life learning about dog behavior and care. In the past 19 years she has traveled across the East Coast learning from as many dog experts as she could while training and competing with her own dogs. More than anything Rachael enjoys sharing her time with canine companions and she typically spends her days out exploring new hiking trails or throwing a ball for her furry guests. Rachael attended UMass Amherst and graduated in 2020 with a degree in Pre-Veterinary Sciences. While there she studied all kinds of animals and researched best practices for caring for domestic pets. While attending college Rachael worked at her local humane society in the kennel to help abandoned pets find their forever homes. After graduating she went on to work as a home based dog trainer under expert tutelage. Rachael lives on a 16 acre horse farm with her own two pups, Huzzah and Aven. The farm boasts many fenced in paddocks that boarding dogs are able to explore and enjoy. Visiting pets often go for walks in neighboring towns to ensure their enrichment and exercise goals are exceeded. If you think your pet would enjoy a rural vacation please reach out for availability! Free pick up and drop off is offered to pet parents within a 30 minute radius of Terrywile Park! My full time job is taking care of your pet! While here each dog will go on walks, explore fenced in paddocks, and enjoy playing with other pups if they are dog friendly. Safety is my number one priority! I have a fenced in potty area for quick bathroom breaks and the farm offers many fenced in areas where dogs are able to run freely. Overnight, when I'm not home, or when traveling in a car dogs are crated in secure dog crates.

Sarah was great taking care of my 2 cats. I also had an unexpected family emergency and she was able to do a few extra visits last minute. She was truly a lifesaver when I was dealing with a difficult time and I’m very grateful for her kindness and flexibility to ensure my cats were taken care of.
Isabelle is a special caregiver. We hired her. To help care for our 2 German Shepherds, one of which is recovering from brain surgery to remove a tumor. With that, her and her partner have provided amazing care and shown love , compassion and patience to our guy. I highly recommend her if you need someone to provide that extra level of support.
Kayla was truly phenomenal taking care of our cats. She was on time for every appointment and very communicative each day. She even got one of our cats, who never comes out for strangers, to come out for the visit and ensure she was cared for. We are very happy with Kayla and would absolutely book her in the future.
Jamie was excellent with our 2 cats while we were away for 2 weeks. He came for daily visits to care for their needs and provided us with updates and pictures after each visit. This is at least our fifth time using Jamie and Danae and we would highly recommend them.
Will is kind, communicative, punctual and trustworthy. He was great taking care of my pets and I wouldn’t hesitate to have him again. I felt great knowing he was taking care of them when I was far away traveling. I’d highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a great pet sitter.
Nicole is BY FAR the best care provider we have EVER met! She’s always prompt, polite, professional, & friendly. Her expertise & skill-sets in Veterinary Care are added benefits for piece of mind to have, and incredibly rare to find. We will only be asking her to care for our dogs & cats in the future; whether it be a single drop-in, multiple visits, or anything else. 5 stars is not enough!
Margaux was so great at dropping in to check on our cat, Danny, while we were away. She gave comprehensive report cards and diligently followed directions given. On top of that, she asked thoughtful questions about our pet that indicated she truly understood and cared about animals. We would love to have Margaux care for our Danny again!
