“Erin was awesome! She came over to meet Gizmo beforehand and wanted to know about the breed, his personality, his routine, it was so clear she truly cares about the pets she cares for! Gizmo loved his walks and playtime with Erin, She’s the best!”

“Abby was very communicative with me and attentive to my animals! I really appreciate that she sent lots of photos and a detailed update. It made me feel like my pets were in good hands!”
About: I absolutely love dogs and have had at least one all my life. Let me take care of your fur baby and love it like it’s my own! Happy to work with all ages, from crazy puppies to golden seniors. I am working remotely, so I have a flexible schedule for taking care of your pup! Available weekdays and weekends to help out however needed I create a safe and trusting environment for your pets to make sure they are comfortable in your absence. I currently own a shy senior shelter dog and a rowdy puppy, so Im used to adjusting to different pup personalities to make them happy!
“Thank you Leo, very professional, on time and great communication! My pups are not the easiest but you made me feel at ease by handling the situation! Thank you Leo”

“I was very nervous at first, being a new Rover customer, but Heidi was great. She gave us updates and took great care of Fluffy. Would recommend her to anyone.”

“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!”
“Nicole graciously agreed to walk my dog at the last minute. She was conscientious about the dog’s needs and safety and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she could provide the best care. When it was too hot for a long walk outside, it was her idea to spend part of the time practicing training inside so my pup would still get mental stimulation. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs and is highly responsible.”

“Great experience and will definitely utilize Kyle's service in the future! Book with confidence everyone. Administered Cali's medication and really took fantastic care of her.”

“Savonna is fantastic with my pets. She is so thoughtful and caring. She made sure they had everything they needed and was patient with our nervous pup.”

“Susan is so wonderful! Quick to respond and she sends a ton of photos. She often helps in a last minute pinch and Aries just loves her. He always has such a big smile and wag when he sees her. Strongly recommend!!”

“Megan took great care of my Marley. I appreciate her going out of her way to come by to meet my baby before their first walk. She was on time and made sure he had his lunch and treats before leaving. He was a happy camper!”

“Rachel walked our very active dog Charlie when I needed help after surgery. Charlie would wait at the window for her every morning and came home tired after every walk! In addition to being great with our dog, she’s a really great person who was super flexible with scheduling! Will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Simi is amazing. My pup loves her, she gives him a great walk twice a week. Simi communicates well and regularly, and even went above and beyond to clean his foot when my dog was bothering it. She is incredibly kind and compassionate, I highly recommend her.”

“We booked Erin last-minute and she was super easy to work with, communication was clear, and we know our dog was in great hands! Would definitely recommend her and we will book again!”

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.

We’ve only been with Olivia for a week and I already feel like my boy is in the best hands. She’s so warm and caring with him. She keeps me updated with photos and little check-ins throughout the day, which means the world to a dog parent. So grateful we found her!

My Ozzie is a senior dog with senior dog problems, and Tommy has made sure he’s cared for during his walks. Tommy gives me complete updates if Ozzie has any issues, which has been so helpful to ensure Ozzie lives a healthy life. And every walk comes with lots of photos. Highly recommend!

Ann is a wonderful caregiver for pets. It's clear how much she loves dogs. She was an excellent communicator from the very first message to the report after walking a highly energetic lab. She handled all of the quirks while making sure my dog got a good walk and was well taken care of. Highly recommend.

Max was great. Went above and beyond both days we used his services. Day One went a little awry with one of our dogs getting injured (through no fault of Max's!) And he communicated immediately and even waited with our dogs until we were able to make it home even though he didn't have to. Would highly recommend Max and would use him again in the future.

Hilary did a great job taking care of Mona while we were away. Communication was excellent, she was reliable, and it was clear Mona was comfortable and happy in her care. Mona is 17 and has a few extra needs, including medication, and Hilary handled everything perfectly. We came home to a happy dog and had complete peace of mind while we were gone. We’d absolutely book with her again.
