Dog Sitting Norton

About: I have done in home visits and dog walking for pets of all types. 3 years of experience. Tons of availability. True animal lover at heart. Many references available. I am currently not working and I'm looking for a few regular gigs to keep me busy. I love to walk and hike. I love people and animals in general. I currently am a homemaker with a fenced in yard, three cats at home, and a dog nephew who gets dropped off for at my discretion for either a long day of daycare or a sleepover.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes. I often pet sit for puppies only a few months old, and cared for my senior girl as her mobility decreased. I have also taken care of dogs that followed strict diets and medication routines. Providing the care that your dog requires to keep them happy and healthy is my priority! Whether they prefer to take it easy and chill on the couch, or go on long walks and play fetch for hours, I will adapt and ensure your pup is happy. I am currently finishing up my master’s degree, and am doing my internship part time during the week. My schedule is flexible for the days that I provided availability, so I am happy to adapt to your needs! I am happy to follow the safety guidelines and routines that you have set for your pet. I have a fenced in yard at my home for my pets, and they roam in and out all day. However, I have also watched pets without a fenced in yard that needed to be leashed when they go outside so I am happy to adapt and supervise your dog just as you would! If you prefer to crate your dog when they are indoors, I will happily do so as well so as to not impact your pet’s sense of normalcy and the rules they need to follow. If you prefer your dog to be alone on walks, I’d be happy to walk them in places where there are few other people or dogs around so that they feel safe.

“Rachel was prompt, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful, even wiping our dog’s paws after a snowy walk. Highly recommend and would happily book again.”

About: I have taken care of pets starting at the age of 9 when my parents got me my first puppy. I had raised and trained him on my own, had responsibility of restocking and refilling food and water, as well as grooming, bathing, and bathroom use. Flash forward to when it came to my own dogs senior years, I had learned to understand the extra care that comes along with that. At the age of 13 I had started pet sitting for family and friends. Whether it be walking next door to my neighbors, taking care of a pet in my home, or having my mom drive me someone’s household, I’ve always enjoyed taking care of and playing with pets. At the age of 16 when I had gotten my license, I had started offering to do overnights at peoples homes for their pets and had driven myself to homes multiple times in a day to care for them. I think it’s important to be present, playful, and all around loving to each and every pet. I love to meet new pets and prioritize creating comfort between the animal and I. I’m currently working full time but have weekday evenings open and weekends open!! I have pets myself as home and pet care fits into my routine very naturally. Thankfully I have family to help out with my pets when I’m not there and can give full care to other pets when needed! I have grown up having dogs my entire life (Also having chickens, geese, and bunnies). Being a pet owner gives perspective in terms of creating a sound environment. When I go on vacation or need someone to care for my animals, I look for qualities that many others would. Trust, responsibility, and genuine care. When roles reverse, I behold these qualities to ensure that whoever I am caring for receives this level of comfort from these qualities.

“Michaela was great with my hyper pup Coco! She gave her some love and attention in the middle of what would have been a long day in the house.”

About: Since I was a toddler I’ve had dogs around me, growing up with Newfoundland’s (they are big!!) and German shepherds. I also have experience with other large breeds like Great Danes and hounds as well as small like Maltese’s and chi weenies! I love all dogs and exploring with them! I do work as a teacher so I will be available for evening walks as well as weekends. My own dog I walk daily rain or shine and will do the same for you! I have a chiweenie who is very friendly and loves adventures! We love walks- long or short! I understand not all dogs mesh well with others so my dog can always stay home from walks!

“Our pups love Montana! She took great care of our two girls and we loved the pics. We came home to two very happy and well-exercised pups. Thank you for accepting such a short notice booking!”

About: . I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes over the years, gaining experience through both personal and client-based care. For the past few summers, I’ve specialized in dog walking and boarding puppies for clients, providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while their owners are away. I take pride in giving every pet personalized attention, regular exercise, and lots of affection to make sure they feel right at home Hi, my name is Andrea. I currently work part-time and dedicate the rest of my time to doing what I love most — caring for animals. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I specialize in dog walking and puppy boarding, and I always aim to make each pet feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. I have a fully fenced-in backyard, so your dog can play safely and securely. I take safety and trust very seriously and treat every pet as if they were my own

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was like 12 years old because I have always had more than 1 pet at home meaning I have deal with all kinds of dogs all my life and I truly love them and enjoy being with them and taking care of them I work full time but as a pet owner myself I get up early, stay up later and take my breaks at specific times to take care of a pet. I work from home 3 days a week so have much more flexibility then. I live on my own and I am walking distance to two separate parks where dogs can run, play and take long walks. I also work from home often so have flexibility do indoor activities and give them all the love

About: I grew up in an environment constantly surrounded by animals, especially dogs, with my own dogs, relatives, and friends. I am attentive, responsible, and honest. I have assisted my Veterinary grandfather a handful of times during the birth of puppies and have become very familiar with the specific needs and responsibilities involved in caring for dogs and cats. I am currently working full-time from Wednesdays to Sundays, primarily in the morning, from 6 am to 2 pm. My afternoons are typically free for me to do any needed pet care, such as pet visits or afternoon walks. Mondays and Tuesdays are completely open for any pet care throughout the day, and I am ecstatic to accommodate any pet care needs! I will provide attentive, loving care, as I do with my own dogs, ensuring they are well fed, walked, and given plenty of time for indoor and outdoor play, as well as any specific care they may need.

About: I have had cats and dogs in my life since the age of 6. I have raised two dogs from puppies, and have a lot of experience with older dogs as my friends and family prefer to adopt. I previously fostered a Lab-Pitbull, and currently have a Pomeranian, so I have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes. I am currently available any day of the week from 1:30pm on. I work from home, so overnight or extended stays are no issue for me! I have a big fenced in yard where dogs can run and play, and I live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for dog walks. I am available on-call to take dogs for walks in their own neighborhoods as well! I love to play fetch and give some of the best scritches in town (just ask my dog) :)

“Meaghan responded quickly to my short notice request for a drop - in visit on the weekend She arrived on time and communicated well. I would definitely recomment her.”

About: I’ve had pets for my entire life, so I have experience with young and old dogs alike. My favorite thing to do is hangout with my dog, and I’d love to become friends with yours too! I love to walk, even more so if I have a companion with me! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets, especially during weekdays! My schedule is flexible and I can work around your needs. I head back to college in September, so my location will change then, but I am more than happy to help you out this summer! I will always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort during visits, making sure to follow your instructions carefully. I will make sure to provide updates and maintain consistent communication! I keep the environment calm, clean, and structured.

About: I've had a dog my entire life. Friends and family have relied on me to watch and care for their pets. I have experience with all types of dogs but have mainly owned medium to large size. I am quite open and flexible since I recently graduated and am between jobs right now so I would love to do Rover while job hunting. I've had a dog my entire life and currently own a 4 year old golden retriever named Koda! We go on walks every day together.

About: I’ve dedicated my life to working with animals and just completed my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science at UConn. Since I was 10 years old, I have fostered orphaned kittens and pregnant mother cats and volunteered with the Mansfield Animal Shelter. I have also worked in a veterinary clinic, a kennel environment, and raised two guide dogs through a professional guide dog program. My experience includes caring for newborn kittens, senior pets, administering medications, puppy socialization, and handling dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. I have trained and handled dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, including my own workingline German Shepherd. I am comfortable using and properly implementing a variety of training tools and understand the importance of tailoring care and training to each individual dog. Whether your dog is reactive, nervous around new people, or a social butterfly, I will provide patient and attentive care. I have a flexible weekday schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. While I am sometimes busy on weekends, I am usually local and may have availability depending on the booking. I pride myself on providing dependable care, maintaining routines, and keeping owners updated throughout their pet’s stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With experience in veterinary medicine, guide dog raising, animal shelters, and fostering, I understand the importance of maintaining routines and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and training. Whether your dog is reactive, shy, energetic, or highly trained, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, positive, and stress-free experience while you’re away.

About: As an adult, I have had a vast amount of experience for my age with dogs. I have helped with dogs as young as 5 weeks to as old as 16 years and everywhere in between. Comfortable walking, giving meds, grooming, cleaning up accidents, etc. I work weekdays until 5 but Fridays only until 2 and have very flexible weekends or week nights with just a little notice. I'd love to do more and there are days where I can get out a little early like around holidays. Pets will not be in my home as it is simply too small. More than comfortable inside and out of a clients home such as the yard, taking walks, or just playing and snuggling inside.

About: I am always the first one called when my family needs someone to take care of their pets! I love spending time with all animals! I am a teacher so I am off from June-August. I am available most weekdays to help with any drop in or walking needs for dogs or cats! I take care of pets exactly how the owner needs them to be. I can easily crate or walk dogs and keep up with precise feeding schedules!

About: I have always been in love with animals. My family is very pet oriented. Even when I was a little girl my home would be filled with all different types of animals as my mom and I would rescue hurt animals from outside. Recently I have had even more connection with them, because my sister works at an animal shelter and I have helped her by volunteering there numerous times. I can honestly say that animals make me feel fulfilled // complete and I could not live without them! I am currently a full time college student, but I still manage to find time. I am free any time, all weekend and can discuss hours during weekdays. Thank you! (*During the summer my weekday availability frees up significantly). Your pet's well-being is my number one priority. I want to ensure that they feel at home and that they stay safe, happy, and healthy. In my home, I make sure that I always know where my pets are and that I stay close-by to make sure that they stay safe and ultimately are not getting into any trouble.
