“Great job! Thanks again!”

Chelsea G.

About: I am well-versed in pet nutrition, exercise needs, and I am committed to providing the highest level of care to ensure the physical and emotional well-being of every animal in my care. I'm currently in law school, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets throughout the week. I'm available for house sittings and drop in visits. I'm very experienced with dogs and cats. I spend a lot of time with them at home and on walks. I recognize that every pet has unique needs and preferences. I excel at tailoring my approach to meet the specific requirements of each animal, ensuring they are comfortable, happy, and safe.

“Our dear doggies love Irina. She has an obvious love and attachment to animals that makes her very caring towards them. Walks and gives updates afterwards Highly recommend!!”

“Cole is so good with our Mason! He is trustworthy and makes sure Mason is cared for and gets all his energy out. I never have to worry at work when I know Cole is coming to walk Mason. He sends so many pictures of Mason smiling and I’m happy knowing Mason is in good hands! Cole has become our permanent dog walker and I don’t know what we would do without him!”

About: Avid animal lover my whole life. Always had multiple different types of pets growing up. Currently I am lucky enough to have 3 cats, a mini Australian shepard, and fish! Available part time at the moment in the mornings, evenings, or on my days off from my day job. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby! Your pets are my top priority when they are in my care. I would like to know about any allergies, health issues, or potential risks to your pet that might be in or around your home while they are under my supervision. I will be 100% committed and reliable for keeping your pet happy and safe while you are away.

“Christine has walked my new rescue twice now & has been great with updating me on how she was doing. I was nervous being a first time dog owner, allowing someone else to walk her & Christine put me at ease.”

About: I’ve had dogs (and horses!) in my life as long as I can remember! My childhood was spent sharing my home with herding breeds, but I’ve always loved large and giant breeds. As an adult, I became passionate about rescuing retired racing greyhounds. Our family currently includes Moon Pie, a retired racing greyhound. Sadly, Moose, our Great Dane, recently went to the Rainbow Bridge at 12 years old. I’m a runner and rower and love to be active with my dogs and will often take one on a run with me. I’m also a lifelong equestrian and have volunteered for a horse rescue where I fed, walked, and groomed horses. **services provided outside a 5 mile radius require an additional $5/day travel charge** I work from home full time so have a great deal of daytime flexibility. I’m a morning person and willing to do early hours or mid day walks. My weekends are generally busy but with advance notice I am often able to fit you in. Our dog at home enjoys walks, jogs, and a fenced in yard. We love hikes in the woods and staying active. I’d love to spend some time outdoors with your pet, too!

About: I have had all sorts of pets since I was a kid from bunnies, guinea pigs and hamsters to dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own. She is a sharp-eagle. She is about 2 years old and loves all dogs. I would love to bring her along with me to go on walks etc at your approval. I am currently a nanny part time and a part time student at SCSU. I would have plenty of time to care for your furry friend on the weekends. I care for your pets in your home and will follow any directions for caring for your furry friend. Whether its feeding and or playing or walking I am there to care for your pet in the time of need.

About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including large dogs up to 115 pounds. I’ve owned and raised dogs from the puppy stage through their senior years, so I understand how different their needs can be at every stage of life. I have experience with puppy training, reinforcing basic commands, crate routines, frequent potty breaks, high-energy dogs, and keeping younger dogs entertained and active. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, more frequent breaks, or simply some extra love and attention. What sets me apart is the amount of individual attention I’m able to provide. I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, so I’m home almost all day and can adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule. For boarding, I only take one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your dog won’t be in a house full of unfamiliar animals competing for attention. My home is also pet-free, child-free, and non-smoking, giving your dog a calm and comfortable place to stay. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking, sleeping, training, and crate routines so their stay feels as close to home as possible. And yes, dogs are welcome on the furniture here! 🐶❤️ I work remotely in marketing with a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home almost 24/7, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule can easily be adjusted around each pet’s normal routine and individual needs. Whether your pet is used to early morning walks, specific feeding times, frequent puppy potty breaks, or just lots of companionship throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their schedule as closely as possible. My availability is very open, including weekdays and weekends! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. In my home, it’s just my partner and me with no children or pets of our own, so your pet will have a calm, spacious environment. I only board one family’s pet(s) at a time so I can focus on their needs and help them feel comfortable and at home. My yard is unfenced, so dogs will always be leashed and supervised when outside. Inside, pets are welcome to get comfortable and are allowed on the furniture unless you prefer otherwise. I’m also familiar with crates and happy to follow your pet’s normal crate, feeding, walking, sleeping, and potty routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your pet’s routine and your space. I’ll follow all instructions closely, make sure doors and entrances are secure, keep dogs leashed during walks, and give you updates so you know how your pet is doing. I’m happy to discuss any special instructions, behaviors, or safety concerns beforehand so I can provide care that is tailored to your pet.

About: I have had dogs for my whole life, and I currently have one of my own, so I have plenty experience caring for everyone's favorite friends, doing every day tasks, such as feeding and walking, but also administering medication and supplements if needed. I am currently attending graduate school with classes in the afternoon, but I am available Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings/early afternoons and the entire weekend. My free-time on Mondays and Fridays is limited, but I will do my best to fulfill all requests. I have extra leashes and doggy bags to be ready for any situations on a walk! I am respectful and clean for any homes I have to stop by!

About: I am dedicated to providing a loving, comfortable and peaceful environment for every animal under my care. I am professionally insured for pet sitting services beyond Rover’s coverage. I have experience in pet sitting for friends and family since I was 12 years old. I have had animals for most of my life, with experience owning rats, Guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, lizards, frogs, cats and dogs! I am comfortable with pets that may require some extra TLC as well as all breeds, ages, and sizes. I have experience caring for, amphibians, reptiles, small exotics, chickens/baby chicks, goats, puppies, elderly dogs, high energy and anxious dogs, cats and kittens. I am fully devoted to ensuring your pet is safe, happy and feeling right at home in my care! If you have any inquiries about animals outside of my experience listed feel free to send me a message and we can see if I will be the best fit for you! I am an insured pet sitter full time. My schedule during your sitting will be catered to whatever fits you and your pets needs! Let me know what is needed during an overnight sitting: How often is a potty break? What is your usual routine? How long is your pet family comfortable being alone in the house? Let’s go over their daily schedule and routine and come up with a plan for your pets care! I am happy to accommodate any and all of your pets needs. I know each individual has their own requirements for care and special quirks. I treat all pets under my care as if they are my own. I would be happy to use specific leashes, bowls, food, etc. Please let me know what I can do to make your pet have the most positive experience!

“Shannon is always great with our wild girl. Thank you for accepting a last minute booking!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been dog sitting and walking for the past 8 years. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s sticking to a routine, providing exercise, or offering extra patience and care. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort at all times. I have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding on weekends, as well as weekday afternoons and evenings. I make sure each pet gets the exercise, playtime, and care they need, and I’m happy to accommodate specific routines or requests whenever possible. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I have experience with dogs of different personalities and needs, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I also make sure pets feel comfortable and secure, whether in my home or a client’s home, and I keep owners updated for peace of mind.

“Kimberly is magnificent! She is super helpful with our pets she always makes sures they are happy and comfortable. We are happy she started taking care of our dogs.”

“Jennifer was so great. My dog was very shy and scared, hesitant to leave the room. Jennifer sat there with her and was very patient and understanding of her space. She took extra time out of her day to spend time with ember and get comfortable with her. Definitely recommend her to any dog owners, She goes the extra mile for your pets!”

About: With over 18 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs, animals have always been the center of my life. I am a certified dog trainer through ABC (Animal Behavior College), where I completed coursework and hands-on mentorship training. My first Jack Russell, full of energy and determination, inspired me to become a trainer and deepened my passion for understanding animal behavior. Today, I share my home with a younger, playful pack, including another Jack Russell, and I’ve learned the importance of balancing order, safety, and discipline with letting dogs simply enjoy being dogs. I believe younger dogs benefit from observation, gentle guidance, and time to grow before intense training, so my focus is always on safe, positive, and enriching experiences. I use equipment designed for safety — such as secure belt leashes — to make sure dogs are comfortable and protected on walks. Whether it’s puppies, seniors, or high-maintenance small breeds, I have the hands-on experience to give each pet the right level of care and attention. My senior dog, who recently passed after nearly 17 years by my side, required 24/7 care during her final year. That experience taught me patience, vigilance, and the deep responsibility of caring for animals at every stage of life. Our home is designed with pets in mind — safe, welcoming, and filled with love. With a friendly resident pack, dogs here need to enjoy the company of other dogs to feel at home. Small dogs are my specialty, but I welcome pups of all kinds and treat every animal as if they were my own. The only challenge you might face? Your dog may not want to go home. My partner and I both work from home, so we’re with our dogs throughout the day. We balance our time between working indoors and enjoying the outdoors when the weather is nice, with walks and dog park visits built into our mornings and evenings. We also enjoy picnics, hikes, and other activities that include our pets, since they’re truly part of our everyday life. None of our animals are ever crated — they’re free to be with us and part of our routine at all times. We have three secure, fenced yard areas designed for different activities. One area is set aside for bathroom breaks, where pets can go on their own. The other two yards are used for supervised playtime. Inside, our dogs have access to two levels of the home. The lower level is the cat zone, and the cats also enjoy access to one of the fenced yards. All pets have free range within their spaces and spend the day with me or my partner, so they are always supervised and cared for. We don’t crate any of our own pets — they are all very friendly and used to being around both cats and dogs. I’m a very hands-on, “helicopter” type fur mom — safety, love, and care are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are mentally stimulated, and I’m always checking for ticks or any health concerns. I shared my life with two beloved dogs for nearly 17 and 15 years, and losing them a few years ago was heartbreaking. They traveled everywhere with me and showed me the depth of the bond we share with animals. Caring for pets is my greatest passion, and I feel honored every day to be in their company. I will do whatever is required to keep your animals happy and cared for as if they were my own. I will always follow your instructions closely — from feeding to routines — and will never do anything that isn’t approved by you. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness come first.

About: I have taken care of my own dogs for more than 35+ yrs. I have also taken care of friends and family’s fur babies as well. I have stayed at their homes while they were away, I have gone over their homes to walk, let out to do business and to play with while they are at work etc. I have always had a dog since a child and had as many as three as an adult. I am retired now and would love to share my time taking care of your special ones! I am very flexible with time and dates. I am currently retired so I have a lot of down time to fill. I’m used to working 10-12 hrs a day so it takes getting used to! I love being around dogs always have. I usually care for your fur babies in their own home. I stay with them at times to have outdoors to run, play or just enjoy the outdoors. I have stayed at homes overnight when their parents are away for the evening/week. I make sure they are fed have water and anything else that is in their normal routine.

About: I’ve grown up with only dogs my whole life! Got to be quite the cat person after I caved and picked my first one up a couple years ago. She ended up having a litter of 5! So I definitely have experience with cats in heat, cats in pregnancy/labor as well as newborn kittens! Can bathe (dogs or kittens up to 3-4 months) , give medication, walk, run around, spend time, playtime just about anything when it comes to cats and dogs! Feel free to reach out! Pretty flexible. Doing online schooling. Depends on what the pet owner is thinking! Reach out! My availability should be fairly up to date majority of the time. I care for pets with patience, affection, playtime, cuddles, fresh food and water, walks, and plenty of attention. I treat every cat and dog like family.

“Roger clearly loves dogs - he became instant friends with our little Maltipoo Brody. Roger was dependable and friendly, and we were lucky to have found him. Highly recommended as a dog walker!”
