About: Lifelong pet owner experienced with high-needs cats and dogs. I’m pursuing my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, which shapes how I approach pet care. I provide loving, attentive care with precise routines, clear communication/updates, and quality time. Your child’s happiness and consistency matter. Friday through Saturday, I’m available all day for walks, and drop-ins. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday mornings and evenings for walks and drop-in visits. I’m reliable and responsive—if you have a specific need or last-minute request within my availability, reach out and we can discuss. Based in Branford, CT, works just outside of New Haven with flexible lunch breaks for visits. I’ve built my schedule around pet care because I genuinely care about consistency for the dogs and cats I work with. Monday through Thursday, I’m available mornings and evenings for walks, playtime, and drop-ins. Fridays through Sunday I open up more. I can do mornings, midday, and evenings. This flexibility means I can be the reliable presence your pet knows to expect.

“Candice was great! She very kindly did a meet and greet since this was the first time my dog had a dog walker that she didn’t know. Candice‘s communication was great - very prompt and sent a cute picture of Rosie. I would highly recommend her!”

“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! 🐾❤️”

“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!”

“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.”

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.
“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
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 just graduated college with a degree in animal science. I recently picked up a job during weekdays in Trumbull, but I can still walk your dog/watch your pet! Generally, I am free: Sat/Sun - Anytime M-F - Extremely early morning or after 3:30pm 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.
“Amazing! Our new home walker 🐶 My dog and I just moved to a new neighborhood and having Meghan take care of my dog while I am at work is the perfect peace of mind I needed 🤍 She is very friendly and loving to my dog Mikey. We definitely recommend 🌟”

About: I’ve always had a cat & now I care for my small dog! I trained my own animals through the puppy stages & taken care of animals through all stages of life Im working part time & will be able to care for animals with 2 days notice. I prefer to keep animals in their home, rather than board in mine. Although willing to discuss options! I am happy to care for your animal at your home & provide regular check ins, potty breaks, feeding, & medication (if needed). It’s important to keep a routine with animals, & will do everything I can to maintain balance.
“Megan has been dog walking for us a couple weeks now and the service and communication has been excellent! Lizzy seems like she is getting good exercise and has been well taken care of”


About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have owned dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve also had cats for over 10 years, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give every pet. I understand that each animal is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to provide the care they need. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners peace of mind through reliable, loving care and regular updates. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week for visits, feeding, playtime, walks, and companionship. I make it a priority to stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s a quick check-in or spending extra time giving your pet attention and affection, I’m committed to providing reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, playtime, and any special care needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so I can provide care that feels consistent and reassuring. I also make sure pets always have access to fresh water, receive plenty of attention and affection, and remain secure while I’m in the home. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for both your pet and your home. I treat every home with respect, keep owners updated with messages and photos, and strive to provide dependable care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: It's important to know that someone cares about your pet when hiring them, i'd love the opportunity to take care of your furry family member! I've always had pets in the house since I was a kid and so it feels like second nature to take care of pets. I grew up with dogs, and now have a cat of my own and we are obsessed with our little Roo. It makes me feel so much better when I know he is in good hands when we are away, and so I would like to be that for you and your pet! I currently work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule during the week! I can create my own schedule that will work for the both of us. I first want to make sure I know all of the ins and outs of what my clients needs are for their pet. They are the ones who know the most about their animal and once I know what they need, I am very proactive and communicative about making sure their pet is safe and cared for. Open communication is key!

I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful, so I prioritize clear communication, sending frequent photo updates, and adhering strictly to your specific instructions. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved in your absence. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet(s)! I have a flexible work schedule, allowing me to drop in early morning, mid afternoon, or the evenings! For long term stays, I have ample time for one on one time and outdoor play. As a pet owner myself, I am highly attentive and follow all instructions precisely. I have experience with various breeds and sizes. I will always send photo updates as I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet!

About: I love all types and dogs and have had my own for my entire life! I have worked with big, medium and small dogs. I have experience with high- and low-energy dogs and understand that all of their temperaments are different. Your dog's safety is my top priority. Before beginning a job, I would love to get to know your dog(s) so that both you and I know what to expect during walks and drop-in visits. I will establish the areas in which you are comfortable with your dog(s) being walked and learn the routine you want your dog(s) to follow. I will walk up to 2 dogs at a time and have flexible availability. I can't wait to meet your furry friends! Taking care of pets is top priority. Daily mealtime and exercise are part of my normal routine. I work it in around my own routines. I ensure that meals are given at the proper time and cleaned up afterwards. Pets are always kept on a leash and in close proximity when outside. I am happy to provide enrichment and exercise for pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Branford
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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your North Branford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Branford. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
