Walker was amazing with my Roshi and I appreciate her taking the time out of her day to walk him. She provided me with photos during the walk and updates.

Jillian was so kind! I needed someone last minute to walk my dog and she was awesome. We have never had someone stop into the house we hadn’t met before and could not have picked a better person. Nora was well taken care of and I was worry free. Thank you!

About: My professional journey in pet-sitting and dog-walking officially began in 2021 when I joined the team at David's Pet Services. It was an incredible experience to work with them for nearly two years, but due to my relocation to a different part of Connecticut, I had to step away from my role there. I had the pleasure of serving over 50 clients, gaining valuable expertise in various aspects of pet care. I have worked with small, medium, and large dogs, as well as providing attentive care to cats. Additionally, I have extensive experience with special needs and senior pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being. Basic puppy training, de-escalation techniques, and administering oral medications are also among my areas of expertise. I am well-versed in accommodating special instructions and routines to meet the unique needs of each pet. I have even cared for exotic pets, such as birds, fish, and guinea pigs! *I hold pet first aid/CPR certification, ensuring that I am prepared to handle any unforeseen situations and provide immediate care in emergencies* Feel free to request your visit and I will make it a priority to fulfill that request. I respond very quickly to messages so if I cannot accommodate your request, you will know almost immediately. I understand the importance of a consistent routine for your furry companions - therefore, I am dedicated to tailoring my services to meet the specific requirements of each individual client. I firmly believe that every household and every pet is unique, with their own distinct needs and preferences. I understand that pets are cherished members of the family, and I approach every interaction with the understanding that their well-being is of the highest importance. From tailoring exercise routines to accommodate different fitness levels and goals, to providing a safe and nurturing environment, I am committed to delivering the highest standard of care and providing peace of mind to the pet owner.

About: Experienced dog caregiver with four years of responsibility as a dog owner and additional experience providing care for a family dog. Skilled in maintaining routines, monitoring behavior, and offering dependable, compassionate care. I currently work part-time during the week, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive pet care when needed. I have open availability on weekends, making it easy to schedule walks, visits, or overnight care. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet’s routine, whether that means feeding, playtime, walks, or simply keeping them company. I provide the same level of care I give my own dog, including plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. Crates are available for pets who are crate-trained, and they can enjoy a safe backyard for exercise and fresh air. I make sure every pet feels loved, comfortable, and part of the family while in my care.

About: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. From a young age, I naturally took on the responsibility of helping care for my family’s dogs, making sure they were fed, exercised, groomed, and given plenty of attention and affection. Providing a safe, loving, and structured environment has always been important to me. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments, including administering medication, basic grooming, and supporting rescue and rehoming efforts. I’ve personally rescued several animals and understand the patience, compassion, and consistency they need to feel secure and happy. I joined Rover because working with animals truly brings me joy. You can trust that your pet will be treated like family and cared for with the same love, responsibility, and attention I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home full-time caring for my baby and my own dogs. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m able to follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and never left alone for long periods. With a flexible schedule and a calm home environment, I can give each pet the time, care, and companionship they deserve. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with close supervision at all times. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications, to help them feel secure and stress-free. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and safe space to relax or play. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their normal routine to keep things familiar and comfortable. I treat every pet and home with the same care and responsibility as I would my own, so owners can feel confident their pets are in safe, loving hands.
