“Greta was very attentive and personable. She tuned into Boo’s needs and collaborated with him to do what he needed to do to be comfortable and content.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, from smaller pets like dogs and cats when I was younger to today where I help care for goats and alpacas on my family farm. I also have a young puppy of my own that I’ve been training, so I’m very familiar with routine building and patience when it comes to animals! Currently I am a college student so I am very flexible to work over breaks when I home whether that be weekends or weekdays, day or night! Though I am not available to care for animals in my own home, I will make it a priority to make them as comfortable as possible in yours! Wheather that be crating them, sticking with routines such as feeding, walking, or any other special instructions you leave me, so that your pet can feel consistent and comfortable while you are gone!

About: I’ve been providing services through Rover since 2024 and worked privately prior to that. I’ve always lived in a household with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I’ve raised many from puppies through their adult and senior years. I understand that every dog has unique needs at each stage of life and am happy to tailor care specifically for your canine companion. Boarding Details: I have 10 acres of private land with a pond, giving dogs plenty of space to explore and enjoy. Boarding pups are welcomed as part of my pack and family during their stay—I want them to feel just as comfortable as they do at home. We also have a dedicated bedroom, with a crate available if needed, so everyone can have their own space. I can’t wait to connect with you! 🐾 I adventure daily on local trails with my own pups and love planning bigger outings on the weekends. I enjoy including daycare and boarding dogs in our activities when it fits their personality and comfort level, so every pup gets the right mix of exercise and fun. During daycare or boarding stays, dogs receive morning potty breaks and exercise, enrichment or rest during the day, and evening adventures or structured playtime. I keep feeding schedules consistent and make sure everyone has time to settle. I provide regular photo updates and am happy to accommodate special diets, crate preferences, or senior/puppy needs so your dog feels safe and comfortable throughout their stay. I’m available most evenings after 4 PM, with extra flexibility during February and April school vacations. From the end of June through the end of August, when I’m out of school, I’m much more available for weekly let-outs and boarding opportunities if needed. My goal is to keep your pet in their routine as much as possible, so they can be comfortable and things go smoothly! If boarding at our place- dogs have the accessibility to a fenced in yard, several acres of off leash trails explore, a private pond, & 2 friendly pups during their stay!

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I’ve grown up with a cat and two labs, so caring for both cats and dogs feels very natural to me. I’m used to everything from playtime and walks to quiet companionship, and I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and personality. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a student at UConn! My schedule and course load is fairly light so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pets! I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their own space and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box or potty needs, medication if needed, and playtime. I make sure pets get attention, exercise, and companionship, while also keeping the home clean and secure. I always respect the pet’s habits and personality and aim to keep things as stress-free as possible.

“Althea is the best. Knowledgeable, responsive, flexible, and a great communicator. She has genuine affection for Boo and he loves maintaining such relationships. Plus, in my case, she’s hyper-local and knows the neighborhood. That makes it simpler to meet his needs.”

“Alexis is awesome. Ferris instantly fell in love with her. She is very caring, attentive and reliable, and has helped me out on fairly short notice. So thankful to have found her!”

About: Hello! My name is Emmy, and I am an avid animal lover! I enjoy helping people and their dogs live their happiest lives together, as best as I can through both dog walking and dog training! I have raised and cared for my own pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and reptiles! I have three dogs of my own :) I am also a certified dog trainer through the Catch Canine Trainers Academy, and am enrolled with the Animal Behavior College Service Dog Trainer program. I have experience raising puppies of my own, but I also have experience raising, doing basic training, and socializing for puppies for Canine Companions (a non profit that matches people with disabilities with service dogs, free of charges). Both of the puppies I raised went on to graduate as service/assistance dogs! I have walked dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, but I also worked for a dog walking business when I lived in Denver, CO. Working with people and their dogs is a passion of mine! I am currently working part-time for dog walking Monday through Friday, but I look forward to giving your dog(s) the quality time they may need during the day. When out for a dog walk, I keep all dogs leashed and with a solid collar/harness. I also choose walk routes that are safe for both the dog(s) and myself: preferably with sidewalks, wide roads with low vehicle traffic, good visibility, non-slick surface, cool enough for paws, avoid salted surfaces (when possible). I do my best to wear clothing with bright colors, to help with visibility as well.

About: Grew up with a dog ever since I was one, a sweet golden retriever and loved her all her life, help dog/cat sit and dog walk with my sister between her and my new rescue, also grew up with my grandmothers cat, a cat of my own and now a family cat My fully online school schedule gives me a lot of flexibility, allowing me to be available for daytime care, drop-ins, and walks. It also makes overnight stays easy to accommodate when needed! With a large, open backyard, your pet will have plenty of space to run, play, and burn off energy. I provide toys such as balls and use a secure lead setup for safe outdoor fun, plus we have a long, quiet, hilly road that’s perfect for walks. Inside, your pet will find a cozy, welcoming environment with plenty of spots to relax—especially in our spacious, carpeted living room.

“Andrea is fantastic. I have a very nervous rescue dog and she provides a very calm and friendly presence. I will be using her for all my future dog walking needs. Provided pictures and updates of the walk.”

About: Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile! :) My name is Ash and I've been petsitting for 15+ years. My mother and I started a business when I was 16 and we were very successful for a long time! The only reason we ever stopped is because we had to relocate. So as you can imagine, I'm extremely experienced with pets of all kinds - dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, birds, horses, cows -- you name it! I've been a sitter for dogs of all ages and all sizes as well. I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to bring your furry friends to and from the vet or grooming appointments, and I'm able to administer medication if necessary! At the moment I'm unemployed so I have an open schedule! I do have two other clients but can work around their schedules no problem! I'm able to follow whatever the safety protocols are for your pets in your home! Including electric fences, regular fenced yards, leashes, crates, and so on, as well as arming home security systems when I leave, taking out the trash, minor cleaning, bringing in your mail, etc!

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. It started with my family dog, then taking care of all of my friends dogs and now having my own puppy. I have worked in multiple animal hospitals and have experience with many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I am currently going to school as a full-time student and have extra time where I’d love to care for animals if I can. With not many classes and an open schedule it should be very easy to fit daily walks in. At home I have a dog and constantly take him for walks and different places in order for him to get out of the house.

About: Working with animals has always been a passion of mine. Currently I work at VCA Russell Animal Hospital as a veterinary assistant 30-40 hours a week. So, I do have knowledge in veterinary medicine. If you choose me to care for your cat or dog you will not be disappointed. I love every breed and every size and will provide the most excellent care for your family member. I have 3 dogs of my own currently and am very capable of caring for all life stages. Thank you for taking time to look into my profile and I hope you choose me to watch/care for your loved one (: Trying to stray away from my full-time job and make this my full-time job. Taking care of your pets is my top priority and I want to be able to have the availability to do so. I care for pets as I would my own. My pets are my babies and I would do anything for them. I will treat your animal like they are one of my own.

“Sue is great! Excellent communication and very good with our dog. We booked her for weekend dog walking during ski season and it was a huge help.”
