It depends on your pup. We can work with the whole spectrum, from senior pups needing low-impact activity to high-energy working breeds to need to be hiked twice a day if needed.

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Adriana! With over 15 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I’m passionate about providing reliable, personalized, and loving care to pets of all ages, breeds, and energy levels. I’m Certified in Pet CPR & First Aid, Insured, Bonded, AND I also teach Pet CPR to others - your pet's safety is always my top priority. I am also currently training to become a Certified Dog Trainer. Having lived in both El Salvador and Qatar, I bring a unique perspective to pet care, shaped by diverse cultures and pet needs. Now based in Essex, I’ve come to love the untouched beauty of the CT River Valley, where peaceful landscapes offer the perfect setting for outdoor adventures with pets. From daily walks and adventure hikes to one-on-one attention for senior pups or anxious dogs, I tailor every service to meet your pet’s unique needs. You’ll receive regular updates with photos and notes, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. For overnight stays, I offer a peaceful, safe home environment with a fenced-in yard. Perfect for pups who thrive in a cozy, calm space. **Please note** - Rates: Message me for a custom quote, Rover often mistakenly calculates total costs. - I offer discounts for weekday daytime recurring weekly services for year round clients - A 15 min visit is $25, 30-min visit is$35, 45 min visit is $45, and 60 min is $60. - For dogs, I only offer evening and weekend services to dogs we see on weekdays on a recurring basis. - Any services outside of 9 AM-4 PM Mon-Fri or on weekends incur a $10 after-hours fee. - Home Daycare Services: Offered only for dogs with a recurring schedule (minimum 3x/week). - All new Boarding dogs need to complete a paid Trial Overnight Stay **Booking Steps** 1. Let’s discuss your dog’s needs and schedule via message or video call. 2. If it’s a great match, we’ll schedule a Meet & Greet. 3. Once we’ve met, I’ll confirm and officially book your service.

Reviews
Adriana has been a life saver for myself and my dog, Donut. He looks forward to his time with her, and his walks. She has helped to teach him not to pull when being walked on the leash which makes it so much easier and enjoyable when I walk him also. I’ve been able to call her on short notice when my schedule has changed and she has always been accommodating. We recommend her without hesitation!
This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little apprehensive. But after meeting Adriana, I was confident that I was making a smart choice in choosing her to care for Donut. He took to her immediately, as did I. I loved knowing that he was in good, kind and very capable hands. She provided the most adorable pics of his daily “glamour shots”, where he’d ham it up for the camera. It gives me great joy and so much relief knowing I can call on her to take such good care of my boy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to anyone needing top notch pet sitting / pet-care.
Appreciate the flexibility in getting us in last minute right before a holiday weekend! My boys are happy with the individual attention they receive. Thank you!
our 4 boys loved Adriana. They were very happy to see her. I felt good about leaving our boys in her hands. She was very knowledgeable, attentive, and cared about our boys which I appreciated.
