About: Hi All!! I have personal and professional pet care experience! Not only have I had the pleasure of owning a variety of my own animals (dogs, cats and small animals such as chinchillas) I also have spent many hours volunteering at the humane society preforming all different types of animal care for whatever was assigned to me! I love learning and expanding my knowledge of animals regarding different behavior types based on breeds and I think working with Rover will provide me a fun experience and help me do that! My availability is semi-flexible depending on the location of your home, as I do work Mon-Friday at Backus Hospital. In my own personal free time, I enjoy staying active and traveling with my friends, but I also enjoy staying in with a glass of wine and a good book! I currently work full time at Backus Hospital, do depending on location of your home, I could provide a mid day potty break! Unfortunately, anything outside of the Norwich area, makes mid day check ins challenging. I have one chunky orange cat named Murphy! He roams the house freely but is mostly found on the back of the couch! I have a lot of experience with free roaming pets, crated dogs, and other small caged animals and have the space to house them!

Doreen was an amazing sitter for Sadie! She updated me with a lot of pictures, videos, and description of her visit every day. She is very communicative and it’s obvious she loves animals. I’m so happy to have met her and completely trust her taking care of Sadie. 😊

Excellent caretaker for my cats! They were very happy with the attention and play time Emily gave them as well as the feeding and litter box cleaning that goes along with having cats. Would definitely use her again!

About: I like to be active with pets and can also adjust to their personality. I enjoy just being present and spending time with all animals in general I’m currently working full time so after work is best fit for me. Anytime from 5 o clock until whenever. Also free on the weekends I tend to play inside a lot but going outside is a plus. Walks included and just being active if possible. Sometimes just sitting down and relaxing going with the dog and its individual needs

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: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician who graduated from Becker College in 2021. My passion for animals is my drive. I currently work at a non-profit veterinary clinic with low-income cost options. I truly feel like I am doing a great thing! Because I’ve been a technician for 5 years, medications etc. are no issue! I also have experience with training! I am a veterinary technician who works 4 days a week so I’m always looking for more animals to fill my other three days of downtime with! I choose to make pet care fit, because it’s my passion. I want owners to be able to vacation worry free! I care for pets in clients homes the way I am asked to. For example, if you ask for your dog to be crated, I will make sure that is done before heading out. The same goes for mealtimes and medication times. I work with the dog’s personality in it’s preferred environment.

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!

Tina is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of my diabetic cat Buddy! Right off the bat when I first met Tina I got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with Buddy! When I came home after my week away Buddy was relaxed and happy.

Jenna is the best sitter I have ever had! She is so accommodating and insanely flexible! When we got our new puppy Jenna made time to come over and meet him before me booking an appointment with her. This puppy was very unsocialized but took to her instantly. I was using her on a regular basis but my schedule changed. Now it’s just random times and she is always available! 10/10 I would and have recommended her to multiple people!

About: I am an avid dog lover who has had a dog for over 30 years. I love all different breeds of dogs, and currently have a Maltese, Bichon, and and a Shitzu. I also am a Certified Vet Assistant, and love being with all animal types. I live on a small farm and recently opened my own pet sitting business because of my love and knowledge of animals. If you need somebody reliable , loving, and vet certified I am the person you need.When you cant be there for your pet I Will. Safety, trust and love. Exercise, playing, and walking a must. Being respectful and having pet insurance, helps the customer be at ease. Care, love and dog communication at its best. Constantly paying great attention to whichever client is in my home along with some space, and getting the animal adjusted to a new setting. Having the pet be comfortable with the new surroundings is vitally important.
