“Nicole is wonderful with my senior baby. She communicates well, and even messages me to see how my girl is doing when she hasn't been feeling well. Nicole is very patient with Luanne and takes great care of her. I trust her and am glad to have found her!”

“Erin and her family are great! They’re punctual, reliable, and responsive. They did a great job of taking care of my dog. They came to meet her and run through her walk routine prior to the day of her being walked, and were fabulous all around. Can’t recommend them enough!”

“Kyle is great! He’s super reliable and he’s been great with my very large and spirited Husky mix, Cassie! Kyle is super kind with her and Cassie is well cared for on her walks.”

“Heidi is the best!! She takes care of my puppy and cares about her. Sends pictures and lets me know if she pee’d or poo’d. I will continue to use Heidi!”

“I booked Rachel for weekly walks with my pup, she’s been very communicative regarding scheduling and my pup seemed very happy after his first walk with her. Looking forward to continuing to work with her and appreciate her timeliness and professionalism!”

About: I am an animal loving person with a lot of experience with dogs. I studied animal science at Wamogo Regional High School and am a graduate of Central Connecticut State University. I understand how hard it is to go away on vacation as a pet owner, as I have a dog, cat, fish, and five goats! I have experience with cows, pigs, sheep, and a ton of experience with horses. I am also very experienced and comfortable with administering medications. I will treat your animals as if they were my own and I will accommodate all of their needs. I love all types and sizes of dogs too! Please do not hesitate to contact me! Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! :) I work full time remotely, so my schedule is rather flexible. I will try my best to accommodate your and your pets schedules. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! Safety and trust play a huge role in the bond created between me and my animals. I place large importance on getting animals to be comfortable in order for them to trust, while maintaining a level of safety in the form of training.
“Paula is so sweet and engaging with Leo! She remembered his quirks and worked with him to have the best walks! She was also timely, communicated well, and respectful of space.”

“Absolutely outstanding! Gabriela is punctual, reliable, and fantastic with my dog. She sends clear updates and photos after every walk, makes sure water bowls are filled, and always wipe paws on rainy days. My pup comes home happy, calm, and well-exercised. The attention to detail (double checking the leash, securing the door, and noting any changes in behavior) gives me total peace of mind. Couldn’t ask for better care, highly recommend!”
About: I am not just a sitter but a passionate pet enthusiast. With years of experience in caring for cats and dogs of all ages and personalities, I take the time to gain their trust. Whether your cat or dog is playful, energetic or shy I am dedicated to providing a tailored experience that best suits them! I work a 9-to-5 job with WFH flexibility and week-to-week scheduling variability, making it easier for my walks, check-ins, visits with your pets! Ensuring the happiness and health of your beloved companions is my top priority. I will treat your pets like my own while in your home. I am familiar with emergency protocols and can handle any unexpected situations with calmness and urgency
“Hannah was very thorough in our Meet and Greet and our dog seemed to be already comfortable with her on the first meeting. Will definitely be contacting Hannah on an as need basis for our pups walks. 5 stars!”

“Thomas is awesome! I have used his services multiple times and he is great. He is flexible when needed and very communicative throughout the service. My dog adores him!”

“Chelsea has been so great to work with. I know Kayson is in good hands and I appreciate her taking Kayson on walks while my husband and I are working. She’s responsive, kind, and always takes such good care of him!”

“Kimberly is a great match for me and my pup! She is very experienced with animals and dogs. She is reliable, responsive, and dedicated to her work. I can relax knowing he is safe and happy with her. Also, she is great at being flexible when the rover app occasionally glitches and always makes sure I know what Jett is up to.”

Tara has now watched Charlotte a number of times. One of the many things that I love about her is her reliability. She shows up when she says she's going to show up. Charlotte really likes her and likes going on walks with her, which sometimes isn't always the case. Charlotte is very attached to me and is not thrilled to go out with others but she's very happy to go out with Tara. We are lucky to be able to count on Tara.

Kelly is still the best. Excellent communication. Super patient, flexible, and understanding. I actually got my schedule mixed up for my dog’s weekly walk and although I’m sure I inconvenienced her, Kelly’s personality/disposition never changed. She was as kind as ever. I felt so bad and kept apologizing, but she was so gracious. Can’t recommend her enough.

Paula has been walking Benny a few times a week since early March and she’s been absolutely wonderful. She is VERY reliable, responsive and trustworthy. I know that Benny is in great hands with her. She sends thoughtful and detailed updates after her walks along with lots of pictures (which I love!) - it makes such a difference knowing how everything went. As a naturally anxious dog mom (Benny is my first pup on my own) I really appreciate the care and consistency she brings. It genuinely puts me at ease. I can always tell Benny has had a good walk because his energy is so more settled when I get home from work. Paula clearly really cares and treats pets with so much love. I highly recommend her! - Andrea & Benny the mini dachshund 🐾
