About: I have had various breeds of dogs and cats since I was a child, taking the time to learn the different care that they each require. I have also been entrusted by family and friends to take care of their pets when they are away! I currently work a consistent schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 7 AM to 6 PM. Outside of that I am fully available to provide the love and care that your pet needs! I do not have any pets, so your pet will have all of my attention and will not need to adjust to the presence of any other animals! I live within walking distance of two parks and one trail that I walk often!

You can trust they’ll be safe, well-cared for, and showered with attention while you’re away!

About: I've been caring for dogs since l was 10, and over the years I've helped neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, walking, playtime, and daily check-ins. I'm comfortable with all ages and personalities-from energetic puppies to slow-moving seniors who need a gentle routine. I also have a puggle at home, so I'm no stranger to high-energy, goofy, dramatic, "I run this house" behavior. Living with a puggle has taught me patience, structure, and how to keep a dog entertained, calm, and safe even when they're full of personality. Because of that, I'm great with dogs who are excitable, stubborn, or just a little wild in the best way. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I treat every dog like my own and keep communication open with updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they're doing. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I go into work at 12pm, which gives me open availability every morning for walks, drop-ins, or playtime. I'm also completely free on weekends, so l can offer flexible scheduling, longer visits, and consistent care whenever you need it. When I'm caring for pets-whether in my home or a client's home, I focus on creating a calm, structured, and safe environment. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walking habits, and any special instructions you provide. I always make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure, and I keep a close eye on pets during walks or outdoor time to prevent any accidents or escapes. In your home, I respect your space and your rules. I keep things tidy, follow your preferred routines, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. In my home, pets have a calm environment with plenty of attention, structure, and supervision. I also have a puggle, so I'm very familiar with managing high-energy personalities safely and patiently.
About: I try to take parts of Cesar Milan's strategy with dogs specifically. Trying to not reward bad behavior. Making sure a pet can respect my boundaries. Currently have a dog walking client at Winding Brook Condominiums in Meriden. I’m there twice a day for 30 minute walks and play. I bought some balls for her so she can play. Have videos and lots of photos. I work flexible hours as an independent contractor so I make my own schedule. I am building my pet care business so I am signing up for a drone pilots license for pet recovery. I am also working on upgrading my vehicle to a minivan. I am offering pet sitting in your home until that can change to my home. I am needing different things done to my home before I can bring pets to my house.
About: Grew up with four dogs and lifelong pet care experience. Trusted by clients & friends. Skilled with French Bulldogs and Dachshunds, including IVDD-aware handling. Attentive, reliable, communicative! Pet care easily fits into my routine. I have a flexible schedule and am available any day, ensuring pets receive reliable, attentive care whenever needed. I carefully follow each owner's instructions, maintain pets' routines, provide plenty of attention, exercise, feeding, medication if needed, and keep their home clean and secure.
About: I'm a huuuge pet lover! I have two cats of my own, routinely watch/walk my brother's dogs, and also volunteer at my local cat shelter every weekend. Cleaning up litter boxes, poop, hairballs, and puke are second nature to me haha! I also took care of my senior cat who lived to 23 years, so senior pets have a very special place in my heart. Rest assured your pet will be in great hands with me. :) I am remote 3x/week so my schedule is very flexible. I am often free any time of day (besides tuesdays & wednesdays) from 7am to overnights if needed. I'm flexible to all scheduling - just let me know! I do dog walks, dog feedings, cat feedings, and cat walks (if you are interested!) :) I will keep all pets company if youre just at work for the day or need a late-night stay for a date-night.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Plantsville
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike! I trust very few people with my 3 dogs — Barry (12), Fiona (3), and George (1) — because they all have completely different personalities and needs. Mike has been incredibly patient, caring, and attentive with each of them, and it’s obvious how much he genuinely loves animals. I know they are in great hands when they’re with him. One of the things I appreciate most is how dependable and accommodating he is. Even with very last-minute requests, Mike always does his best to fit me into his schedule. He is also fantastic with communication. He keeps me updated before, during, and after visits, and always sends pictures of the pups on walks and playing. I highly recommend Mike, my dogs love him!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Plantsville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Plantsville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Plantsville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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 sitter.
