About: Hi! As of 08/12/24 I am actively back to offer my services on Rover! I have owned dogs, cats and more my entire life. My professional experience is extensive, including 2 emergency animal hospitals in CT and FL, and most recently at a local animal hospital. I have bred and nurtured three litters (dogs and cats!), pet sat (including overnights), worked for a therapy animal rehabilitation group, a pet groomer, walked dogs, volunteered at rescues, and worked on 2 farms. I even have experience with horses! I also have experience with senior pets, aggressive breeds, special needs, and medical problems. I am just as trained for safety as I am for fun! I even walk my own cat on a leash! My schedule is flexible. I am capable of running with your dog and engaging in active play. My goal will be to entertain your pet as much as he/she wants, so that you never feel like it is missing out while you are away. I love to provide picture updates so you see your special friend. I happily have several pets in life; Ponyo, Buddy, Blue, and Boba, as well at two dogs named Arie and Rascal. Any day I interact with an animal is a great day. Each one of my pets has their own special diet, they enjoy supervised outside time, and receive lots of love. In your home, I will treat your pets as though their are my own.
11. Tharshana W.
“Tharshana is an extremely caring, loving and gentle person, whom I have trusted to care for my dogs Cleo (Rotterman) and Ellie (Dalmador) on many occasions. Both Cleo (4 years) and Ellie (2 years) are large, energetic dogs who demand a lot of attention. Tharshana has always been patient, loving and firm with them and been able to manage and care for them excellently. He has also cared for Ashe- 4 month old Dalmatian mix puppy- the new addition to the family. I trust Tharshana implicitly with all my dogs and can recommend him 200% to care for your dogs.”
12. Brigitte & Mark N.
About: Responsible lifelong cat owner and regular dog sitter. My husband and I live on a private beach and watch his brother’s golden retriever at least once per month- he loves it here. We have a three year old cat who is reserved and so any boarding guests must be safe toward her. I am also able to stay overnight at your place with your pet. I’m a full time student working independently in a lab. I have a car and a flexible schedule and can attend to your pet’s needs. My husband works from home and is likewise flexible. He has his own car and is very active and playful. Dogs love him! I have a yard and private beach where a well behaved dog can run around and play (always supervised and kept on leash if requested). We have a two bed one bath place (900 sq ft). We can travel around CT as well and are always respectful of others’ spaces and boundaries.

16. Matthew A.
“Matt is great with dogs! Bruno can be challenging with new people (testing limits to see how much he can get away with) but Matt knew exactly how to handle him when he took him for walks. He arrives right on time and I appreciate how communicative he is. I am so glad we found Matt and since he lives so close to us, he became our go-to dogsitter!”
