About: *MEET AND GREET REQUIRED PRIOR TO BOOKING* I have had 3 cats and 3 dogs, and I understand that every animal has its own personality and special needs. My 7 year old loves all dogs and all she wants to do is babysit dogs. Both of my kids are very responsible and caring. They love taking dogs for walks, playing with them, snuggling with them, feeding them, even picking up their poop! Please note that a meet and greet at our home with us adults and our 2 kids is REQUIRED prior to booking. This is for everyone’s comfort and safety. Thank you! I work from home, and my husband is also home most of the time. We don’t typically go away, so we are available most weekends. My husband, my 2 daughters, and I are all responsible for the care of the animals. We follow the pet owner’s care instructions, and make sure the animals are safe and happy. We play, walk, and snuggle as often as the animals need! A meet and greet with all 4 of us at our home is REQUIRED prior to booking.
“We booked Vincent for our dog Bella. He is even better than his countless reviews. He is professional and kind. He immediately bonded with our large rescue dog Bella. She usually takes more time to trust new visitors. Vincent is clearly experienced and naturally gifted with dogs. I strongly recommend him and we will book again in the future. Thank you!”

About: I have had a dog my whole life! Currently, I have a 3 year old male Bichon Frise and a 13 year old male American Eskimo. I’ve always loved spending time with dogs and will care for yours like my own. My work schedule is flexible so I can typically accommodate drop off anytime. I have a lot of availability for weekends but can potentially accommodate longer weekday + stays too. Your dog will be allowed on furniture in our home, we are a smoke free home, and we can provide care based on any of your special needs. I don’t crate my own dog but I’m willing to crate yours if needed.
About: My services are pet centered. I look forward to creating a care plan that best suits the needs of your loved one. My experience and passion for all walks of life is vast and reins back to childhood. You can expect great communication and loving care! My availability is based off the needs of your loved one.

We are all blessed with a personality and it’s the care takers job to support each pet based off their individualized needs.
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over ten years. I grew up with a wheaten terrier who I loved for 14 years, and since then I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. Whether your pup is playful, sensitive, or needs a calm, steady presence, I’m very comfortable adapting to what they need. Most clients book me for in-home dog care, as it allows dogs to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their routine. I offer structure, gentle companionship, and clear communication every step of the way so you can travel or work confidently, knowing your dog is happy and supported. I also work as a realtor, which means I’m extremely respectful in people’s homes and very used to handling keys, security systems, and property access professionally and discreetly. Pets warm to me quickly, and owners tell me they appreciate the calm confidence I bring to their home. Although I do offer boarding on occasion, my space is best suited for dogs that aren’t excessively vocal, as I live in a condo. All normal barking is perfectly fine — I just may not be the best match for dogs that howl or bark nonstop. My goal is always the same: to make sure your pup feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m looking to add to my day with some exercise and fun with your dog(s)! I particularly make sure I am available at regular meal times for pets. I can provide companionship, exercise and care for your pet at your home or at my home. While I am in the office for about 3-4 hours some days, I work from home a lot.
About: I’ve been around animals since the womb, and I’ve grown up with everything from a massive, playful black lab, to a teeny, feisty chihuahua - and I’ve loved every second of it! I’m a college student currently home for break with all the time in the world to play with your pups! I’m available for walking and many other services nearly 24/7 so just send me a message! I will let your dog outside as often as I can and take them for fun walks to explore the smells throughout the neighborhood. I can crate your pup if needed and can deal with any and all abilities.
“I booked Katherine last minutes for a few days and she was wonderful! So good with my dog, Lulu! Took the time to get to know her and asked a lot of questions. Her maturity and attention to details was amazing! I will definitely be booking her again soon!”

I am always aware of my surroundings while walking with a clients dog or my own. Safety is my number one priority, especially in an training environment
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last ten years. I had Libra and Shadow who were both pit Bulls. I now help my partners take care of their dogs Noel and Benji.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for all of my life! I’ve had to two dogs in the house since I was born and have always been a dog person! I’m a recent graduate of GW and am in Madison for the summer until the end of September. I’m free during the days and am very flexible with timing. I live in a townhouse and can do walks and am always open to an at home visit if needed! I’m very accommodating to all forms of help! (Needs updating)
About: I love taking care of animals and providing them with love and comfort. I can walk animals, stay overnight with them, or even just stop in to feed and play with them. I think Rover is a great site because I loved having a dog sitter for my dog. She really enjoyed being able to get out of the house when my family and I was gone during the day. I think animals are like children and they deserve great care too. I love to hike, cuddle, run, walk, and just relax! I am very open and flexible. I can work around many schedules and I do not mind staying at other peoples homes if it keeps the pup the most comfortable. I have been caring for dogs and children for many years! I have flexibility and make my own schedule during the week! I also work and drive throughout most of CT and can be available. I’m always in the area. I am calm yet trained when it comes to how to handle dogs in different situations. I take the responsibility seriously and listen to all of the owners requests.
About: Animals are a man’s best friend and I strongly believe in this proverb. I have volunteered multiple years for different shelters and agencies primarily with Dog Days; loving, caring and giving much vital attention to dogs in need. Fostering dogs has been one of the most rewarding experiences that may not pay in cash but the endless amount of love and the fulfilling feeling that leaves a mark on your heart making a dog feel loved and safe is priceless. I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in adopting a dog or becoming a dog owner to foster. I have helped nurtured dogs with behavior issues, training, and socializing, and I have also pet sat for creatures of all sizes from fish to horse. I have given medication to multiple animals and I am large animal rescued certified. I care for many of our special needs pets with ease because my kindness, patience and attention creates a bond that has pets loving me immediately. I am caring and compassionate to all of the pets in my care.
About: I am an exceptional dog trainer which is another service that I provide. I don't mind working with troubled or hard cases. Raised dogs half my life. Used to be deeply involved with different rescue operations and local vets to do what I can for these pups. Also have experience with dog boarding at corporate facilities however I run everything right out of my home. So it's more like visiting your pups uncle Marco rather than a lil puppy prison. My other day job is taking care of my handicapped mother so no reason that I can't take care if some furry balls of move too while I'm at it! I'm home often which is where I board and watch the puppers. So we have a fenced in back yard and a large house. My mother does smoke but only upstairs and in her room. Bad mother! However its relatively isolated and isnt noticeable from downstairs. We have a 5 year old labrador retriever and small house cat to keep any visitors entertained! They are both very playful, gentle and non aggressive
