About: I am a very active person i love being out side and going on runs or just simply going on walks. I wake up early everyday and usually go on runs and take my little puppy on walks. I live in a nice area close to town. I love all types of dogs and my schedule is very flexible being a realtor so i am always able to do walks at all times! would love to have overnight stay and would give extra love to all the dogs! I am a full time realtor so my schedule is made by me and can be very flexible. I can be pretty open with my hours. I have a fenced in yard and also own a duplex so I can house different dogs upstairs or separate if need be. I absolutely love dogs and cats so any pet will feel right at home with my care.

Katie took our dog on long walks and hikes on new trails, provided photos and updates daily and was very flexible when we had a change of plans. Can’t wait to ask her to sit again!

Ian was the absolute best! He stayed at our house with our 2 dogs for 5 days. I received regular updates and pictures of them- which was so appreciated and needed being so far away from them. I’d have Ian back in a heartbeat!

About: I have been around dogs my entire life! Even had the opportunity to nurse puppies as little as 2 weeks old. I'm patient and nurturing when it comes to dogs that just need a bit more attention. I will also adhere to the requests of each owner. Our dogs are considered family and should be treated with kindness and respect. To each pet owner I will treat your dog like it's my own. I will be able to cater to the needs of your dog as well as inform you in a timely manner of each visit how everything went. I understand how frustrating it is to leave your dog home for long period of time. However, you won't need to worry they are in good hands! I am off from my full time 3 days a week. Therefore, I’m open to dropping in when needed during the day or evening. Sunday- Tuesday. As someone who has cared for different breeds from dachshunds, pit bulls, and even Dobermans. I have learned so much regarding dog behaviors, temperaments, and how to respond to each dogs unique needs.

About: I’ve had 2-3 dogs in my house since I was in middle school. Since high school, I began dog, cat, and baby sitting for my neighbor on a regular basis and even continued while on breaks from college and after graduation. For the past 5 years, I was the primary dog, cat, and house sitter for a lovely family. My senior year of college I fostered a dog, which my family and I then went on to adopt. I have experience with dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and ages. After helping a variety of dogs & cats in NYC, I have relocated to Connecticut, and I’m looking to help out any people and pets in my area! I currently work a hybrid schedule and am onsite on Tues-Thurs. My work allows me to take calls on walks and have the ability to take animals out for walks as needed! We currently live in a condo with easy outdoor access. I do not have any pets. I am comfortable with crate training, but my home is also flexible to let your pet(s) roam if that is preferred!

We recently had the pleasure of having Sandra house sit and care for our dog Simba and we couldn’t be more impressed! From the very beginning, Sandra was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, asking plenty of detailed questions to make sure Simba’s routine and needs were fully understood. What truly amazed us was how quickly she bonded with Simba. He’s a Korean Jindo, a breed known for being cautious around strangers, but Sandra clearly has a special way with animals. Within the first day, Simba was not only comfortable with her but actually playing and following her around like they’d known each other for years! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Sandra kept our home tidy, stayed communicative, and treated Simba like her own. She’s reliable, warm, and clearly loves what she does. Sandra is officially our go-to sitter from now on — highly, highly recommend!

Sarah - was amazing! Our two dogs were so happy with her and were so happy when we got home. In addition, she was unexpectedly snowed in with them and took wonderful care of them and the house. We will be using her again and if anyone needs a personal recommendation, we are more than happy to endorse Sarah!

Patricia was wonderful from the very first contact! She was willing to help us with everything, and we had a peaceful trip thanks to the way she cared for our dog, Milo. we were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Patricia is definitely a kind and lovely person, and our dog loved being around her. His anxiety was much better, and we felt much more at ease.

Our first time using Rover was a complete success. We had Zarah stay with our furbabies and she made the whole process so easy and we felt at ease. Zarah took the time to get to know our girls, we have a Senior dog with cognitive issues and a one year old puppy, she was so kind and caring with them. We appreciate Zarah so much and will definitely be using her services again in the near future.

About: Hi there! I’m a loving and adventurous dog sitter who believes every pup deserves care, attention, and a good dose of playtime. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so I know firsthand how much love (and patience!) goes into building that unbreakable bond through experience. As someone who loves being outdoors, you’ll often find me exploring nature trails, parks, and neighborhoods — always with a furry friend by my side. I love to keep myself fit & healthy so your pup can expect quality walks full of fresh air, exercise, and plenty of tail wags & sniffs! I enjoy connecting with families from all walks of life and truly value building trusting, long-term relationships so if you’re looking for consistent exercise and a loyal best friend for your fur babies, I’m your girl! It fits into my schedule perfectly as I love having the flexibility to accommodate multiple walks, achieve my exercise, and bond with all different dogs who make it worth the time & care that goes into this hustle :) Aside from a quality walk, sunshine, fresh air and play time, I always ensure they’re taken care of with food, water, meds (if needed) and any requests the owner has I can help with.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets big and small since I was a kid. I used to work full-time as a dog handler at a dog daycare & boarding facility. I am experienced with caring for animals with special needs and behavioral issues. I know how to do dog baths & nails. I am Dog & Cat first aid/CPR certified. There is nothing I love more than caring for animals! I have very flexible availability. I can adjust my schedule to your needs. I have been incorporating pet care (whether with my pets or others') into my daily schedule for years! I am a very attentive pet sitter. I am very knowledgable of animal behavior and will always attend to your pets needs. I am an excellent communicator and will send pictures of your animal every day you're away from them.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals. I’m a pet owner with two dogs, two cats, and a bird, and I’ve also pet-sat and run a dog walking business growing up. I’m reliable, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets, always making sure they feel safe and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine. I take early classes and work a part-time job two days a week, which gives me plenty of availability during the day and evenings. I’m used to planning my schedule around pets, making sure they get consistent walks, feedings, playtime, and attention throughout the week. For dog walking, I focus on keeping dogs safe, active, and comfortable. I follow each client’s instructions closely, including leash preferences, walking routes, and any special needs. I make sure dogs get proper exercise, water breaks, and positive attention during walks. In a client’s home, I respect their space, secure doors and gates, and ensure pets are settled safely before and after each walk. My goal is always a safe, enjoyable walk that fits each dog’s energy level and routine.

About: I have experience with all dogs sizes, especially large breeds. I watched my childhood dogs go from puppies to seniors. From this, I’m able to administer medicine. I currently work from home remotely, so it is very flexible for me. With my current houses, I am able to bring my laptop and work there to allow no interruptions into your pet’s daily routine I care for your pets as if they were my own. When I’m in your home, I tried to make it as if I was never there to allow you to feel fully relaxed up upon coming home from your time away.

We were very fortunate to find Julie at the last minute to stay overnight with our pup. This was the first time in the two years we have had him that we found ourselves without a close friend or family member to care for him while we were away. Julie was quick to respond to our request and even made the time to stop by and meet us prior to us leaving. While we were away, she provided updates and pictures which definitely help put our minds at ease. When we arrived home it was evident that Finn was well taken care of. Not one sign of any anxious behaviors and when we arrived home he was of course happy to see us but was also very calm and relaxed which to me is a sign that he was not stressed or nervous while we were away. We will most definitely be using Julie again!!!
