“Brittany has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She is friendly, professional, reliable, and always on time. From the very beginning, she developed a wonderful connection with our dog, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she works with. Brittany is attentive, trustworthy, and communicates well, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dog was in great hands. Our dog is always excited to see her and comes back happy and well cared for after every walk. We truly appreciate Brittany’s dedication, kindness, and dependability. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible dog walker. She has exceeded our expectations, and we are grateful to have found her! 🐾❤️”
“Sandra was fantastic!! She was friendly, professional and great with our dog Maple. We had a last minute need and she came in clutch and would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I have owned a Labrador Retriever, Jack Russell and two German Shepherds and have dog sat many others. I have had twelve years of experience with dog sitting. I will treat your dog like family with lots of love, spending time with them and many walks and adventures to dog parks around the area. I will give them lots of treats. While spending time at your home will treat it as my home with keeping it clean and able to do little stuff around the house such as watering the plants and picking up the mail with no extra cost. I have a flexible schedule, which I am able to pet sit at last notice. I have a dog name Juno who is a three year old Labrador who is friendly and gets along with all dogs. I would like meet and greets just to know the dog before hand and the dog knows me and Juno before we welcome them into our home! We want to create a welcoming home to your dog by not being a total stranger watching them, helping your dog with adjusting as their family is away. I currently work as a nurse so on my days off I am usually at home hanging with Juno and going on walks or playing in the uard I have a fenced in yard share with the neighbors and it is a six foot fence and locks in the back. I will always be outside with the dogs to make sure they are safe and happy.
“Anne Marie was excellent! She came to meet Ralph in advance on short notice, which was very helpful for us. Ralph took to her very quickly, and she was prompt with the visits, sent us photos, and fed our cats as well. We will definitely be using her again. Great experience.”
“Raeven is soooo good with my fur baby Rocky. She has a calmness with Rocky and also gives great tips and advice to make my dog’s walking experience even better. I’m so grateful for her.”
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
“Layla is amazing! Our pup loves her and she has been very prompt and reliable for walks. She also happens to be very knowledgeable about animals and has a great deal of experience. She’s walking our dog and also helping with training which has been amazing. I highly recommend her services!”
About: I have been using Rover on and off for years and have met so many amazing dogs and their owners. I am active and love to be outside. I grew up with pets and am very compassionate towards all animals, especially dogs and cats. I have taken care of neighbors' dogs and homes while growing up. I live in North Branford with my fiancé, our cat Charlie and our dog Roz. Charlie came from a shelter and loves to be around other animals. Sometimes she can act like a dog herself. Roz was adopted from Save-A-Lab and is the sweetest girl. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! I look forward to meeting your pet! I’m a personal trainer so I am typically available between 11 am and 4 pm. With so much free time on my hands and my love for being active, I decided I’d walk dogs part-time! If a dog is outside in their fenced yard, I’ll never take my eyes off of them. Ya never know if they’ve been plotting their escape! 😏 I always keep a dog on a leash. I prefer a non-retractable leash.
About: I’ve worked with various animals for over 10 years, and in that time I have also pet sit for friends. I am comfortable handling a wide range of pets. My rabbit is 10 years young and thriving, and my cat is almost 3 and rambunctious. I am experienced in dog, cat, or other senior care. I have also helped friends with socializing foster puppies. I am confident in giving oral medication as well! I am home from college and not many hours are available at my job, so I’d love to walk your dog/watch your pet! Generally, I am free: Sat/Sun - Anytime M-Th - 7am to 8am , 12pm to 8pm F - 7am to 8pm I will always provide fresh water when I come in and before I leave. If the pet makes a mess I will immediately dispose of it, however if any part of the mess was assumed to be ingested I will let the owner know as soon as possible. Should the pet use the bathroom in the house I will clean and sanitize the area and dispose of the waste outside. The pet will have my full attention and treated with respect during my time with it.
About: What sets me apart is my professional medical animal care experience and genuine love for pets. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician assistant with dogs, cats, and horses, and I am currently studying for my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. I provide patient, reliable, loving care and treat every pet like family while prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness. Pet care fits well into my current routine. I am a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine student, and I am currently on summer break. I also work a part-time job and have a couple of clinical rotations lined up, but overall my schedule is quite flexible. This allows me to dedicate consistent, attentive time to pet care and adjust to the specific needs and routines of each pet. I prioritize reliability and making sure every pet receives the care, attention, and consistency they need while their family is away. I provide care in my client’s home, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I am attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for while their family is away. Because I am a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine student, I am comfortable caring for pets with a range of needs and can recognize when something seems off. I also make sure to keep the home clean, secure, and respected, and I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re gone.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for cats, dogs, and many other kinds of animals. I know that every pet is unique and deserves individualized care, patience, and affection. I enjoy getting to know each pets quirks and what makes them feel happy and safe. I’m attentive, and pay attention to the details. Just tell me what you need and I’ll be happy to provide whatever is required for you and your pet to feel cared for and comfortable! I’m currently a Biochemistry student at CU Boulder and am home in Connecticut for the summer. In between now and when school starts I have tons of free time and have the flexibility to work with whatever schedule is best for you! I take extreme care in client’s homes and am always respectful of their space. I am careful to never breach anyone’s privacy and do whatever is needed to make the client feel secure. As for the pet/pets, I am very attentive to their needs. I pay close attention to things like body language to insure they are happy and healthy.

Kaitlin was excellent; From the beginning she made me feel assured that she was doing this for the right reason - she showed she cared about my dog through a simple text, I know Evie had a great walk because she's still sleeping and its been over 3 hours since she got back. That makes me happy. Kaitlin was on time, friendly, and Evie seemed to have a great time with her. That's the most important part. So yes, I would recommend Kaitlin.
Connor did an outstanding job taking care of Willow. He came to our home to meet her prior to his care date. He anticipated our dog’s need to know and trust him so he asked if he could bring her treats and even asked about possible food allergies. During our meet and greet he was kind, patient, very loving towards our dog, asked appropriate questions, and took the time to take a walk to strengthen his bond with Willow. I knew right away that he was trustworthy and quite capable of handling our sometimes wary Great Pyrenees. On the care date, Connor arrived for two walks on time, followed my instructions, sent me pictures and updates as to how our dog was doing, tracked the walk so I could see where they went, and even fed her as well as my two cats! He left the house immaculate and we returned home to a very happy dog. I highly recommend Connor and will definitely hire him again.
