About: I’ve always had dogs of my own since I was little, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve looked after dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to slower-moving seniors—and I’m comfortable with things like crate training, giving medications, and sticking to your pet’s routine. I truly love being around animals. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need lots of playtime or just a calm, cozy space, I adapt to meet their needs. Even with a busy schedule as a student-athlete, I always make time for pet care. I’m available mornings, during the day, evenings, and weekends, and I’m willing to adjust things to make it work for you and your pup! When caring for pets in your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get their walks, meals, playtime, and any special care they need... all while respecting your space and keeping everything tidy. They’ll have a safe space, plenty of attention, and lots of love!

About: I’m passionate about helping dogs and their owners. I’ve worked with several rescue dogs and understand the special care and attention they need. I recently had my own personal foster pup find her forever home!! Now, I have the time to assist other dog owners with walks and daily routines. Whether you have a busy schedule or just need an extra hand, I’d love to help keep your dog happy and active. Let’s connect to discuss how I can support your pup’s needs! I have a masters degree in social work and work in an elementary school! I love working with kids and giving back to communities. Although, that does make me unavailable for the furry friends until 4/5 pm M-F (depending on your location). I have full availability on the weekends. I can do mornings M-F depending on your location and time. Please message me with any questions or concerns. I am flexible and happy to work collaboratively to figure something out! I always keep the safety of your pet as my top priority, making sure they’re secure and comfortable at all times. 🐾 I also believe in giving each animal an active and fun experience, whether it’s through exciting walks, playtime, or adventures that keep them engaged and happy! 🐕💨 Whatever you might or might not be comfortable with, please communicate that with me! . I am flexible and happy to work collaboratively to figure something out!

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!

“Candice was an awesome sitter for my cat while I was away for the holidays. She gave very detailed reports of each visit and made me feel very comfortable being away from my baby!”


“Thank you for everything, I know we probably put you in a difficult situation but you did a great job under the circumstances. I would definitely highly recommend you to all that needs a dedicated pet caretaker for your caring and professionalism. Thanks again!”


“Thomas did a great job with my 2 cats. They are very shy creatures, and don’t come out of hiding for most of the sitters that I have tried, but they were very friendly for him and got lots of snuggles. It is good to know that I have a reliable cat sitting option who my cats really like.”


“I highly recommend Dina to care for your loving animals. She is responsive and easy to communicate with. She even sent pictures. It's not often that you find someone that makes you feel at ease knowing your animals are cared for and Dina did just that. Moving forward she is my preferred pet sitter!!!”


About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 25. I’m currently 43. I love all animals. They will get lots of love and attention under my care. I currently stay home full time. So I have plenty of time to give my attention to all animals. I will follow all of your routines that you have with your pup. I will take plenty of walks with your pet. They will be able to use the potty as often as needed. And they are welcome to cuddle with me and my two small pups on my couch.

About: I have taken care of family and friend’s dogs for the past 6 years, and I currently am working at a vet hospital and have been in the field for a year in September. Before that I was working at a kennel, as an assistant. I have had a lot of experience with all different types of animals and know how to handle them. I work at a local vet. I am available when needed and if I have work, I can come in during my lunch, before, and after work! I have extra leashes, treats, and toys available that can be brought anywhere I am needed. I have an electric fence at my house, so preferably it would be easier to go to someone else’s home to care for their pets. I will accommodate to the owners needs!

About: I have over 25 years of pet care experience with my own pets, and I walk dogs at the Humane Society on Saturdays & was trained by their incredible staff in basic dog training techniques in 2024. In addition to dogs & cats, I have owned and cared for guinea pigs, a chinchilla, rabbits, chickens, chameleon, and iguana! I would love to care for your pet(s) and help give you some peace of mind while you're away. I would love to walk your dog(s), and/or care for your pet(s), on Mon, Tues, Weds, Thurs, Fri & Sun anytime between 6:00 am- 7:30 am, as well as between 3:30 pm - 8:00 pm. I am willing to travel to the following towns: Lebanon, Colchester, Waterford, New London, Norwich, Bozrah, Colombia, Windham, Franklin, Salem, Lisbon, Montville, and other surrounding Towns (depending on mileage). I am also available Saturday mornings when booked in advance. I care for my two cats at home, they are rescue and special needs. I administer medications, food, ensure they are groomed appropriately to avoid any matting, and spend lots of fun play time with them! I make sure they get proper nutrition and stimulation throughout the day. We love our cats! I will treat your animals as if they are my own, because each little animal being deserves specialized care & attention, just like their human counterparts!

“Nikki took care of my dog for two days, and this whole experience has been excellent. She is caring and gentle to my animals, and also watched over my cats even though that wasn’t included in her duties. Thank you very much for that! I think Nikki genuinely cares about animals, and I would highly recommend her services. She has walked my dog, fed my dog, and played with him during the visits. I received photos from her while I was away from my home, and I feel very safe to have let her take care of my dog. Also, Nikki was very friendly and professional. I definitely would hire her to take care of my dog again next time I have to be away from home.”


“Meg was great! We had previously booked with her before and didn’t hesitate to do so again. She’s very attentive with our dog and gives great updates on her visits. You won’t find anyone better in the area for taking care of your pup.”


About: Have a farm with every type of animals imaginable, and it has caused me to be prepared for almost any situation. However i only offer services for cats and dogs. Definitely not your average animal sitter. Also maintain animals for my full time job (scientific technician). Very responsible, thorough. I am completely free on weekends at any time, and am free after 3:30 on any weekday. Possibly even available for holidays when notified in advance. I offered any basic service related to any animal. Cats, dogs i offer feedings, walkings, litter changing etc. most of all, i take in pride in specialized treatment, and will take into account exactly how you normally run things!

Patrice C.
“To Whom This May Concern, I am writing this letter on behalf of my sister Patrice Carrignan in regards to her potential employment with rover. I would like to offer my enthusiastic recommendation for Patrice as I believe she would be an asset and responsible team member for your agency. Throughout her life I have watched her grow within each work environment as a reliable and professional employee. Animals have always been a passion for Patrice growing up as she has had her own Dogs that she has raised and taken great care of. Her personality is bubbly, friendly and loving to everyone around her. The amount of happiness I see within her while working with at the animal shelter shows her compassion to help within this field. I trust her to care for my pets and she would be a great choice to care for yours to.”
