“Melissa was perfect. This is my first time using Rover and was very nervous as I have heard some negative stories. Melissa offered a meet&greet prior to me booking her and that definitely helped. Melissa followed instructions very well, she did everything I had asked. She was great with my dog and was great at communication. I will definitely use her service again and highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you very much!”


“Always a little scary leaving your family pets in the care of a stranger, but after our meet & greet with Elizabeth I knew she was the right one! Our cats need daily meds which can be challenging, and she took this on without hesitation. She went above and beyond and cleaned the litter boxes out and put new litter in before we came home which was a wonderful surprise, and we’re so appreciative of it. I would absolutely recommend her and use her again to watch our cats in the future!”


“Britney far exceeded our expectations while we were away for the weekend! Our pups were well taken care of and very happy when we returned. We look forward to booking her again in the future and will always recommend her services!”


“Leo has been letting our 2 huskies out daily through the work week for 2+ months now. He has been very kind and patient with our fur babies (one of our dogs is 13 years old and needs a lot of extra attention). Leo always makes sure to keep us updated on our dogs and has been very reliable. Highly, highly recommend Leo to watch your fur babies!”


“Rebekah was great to work with! She was always punctual and entertained our pooches the entire time she visited. All of our requests were fulfilled, and the dogs loved her.”


“Sophia is great with my two young hound mix dogs and old cat. She is always on time, sends pictures and communicates well and gives my pets lots of attention! They get very excited to see her each week!”


About: I am an Animal Science graduate from UCONN with lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, chickens, reptiles and more! I have many years and experience giving all types of animals medicine (Orally and IM). Dedicated to providing safe, loving, and reliable pet care. I'm currently pet sitting part-time! I have lots of flexibility to be able to visit during work hours, weekends and more! Happy to work around many different schedules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions to keep the pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible!

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life since I was little. Growing up, my neighbors' and friends' dogs became honorary family members through countless walks, and I attended a summer camp held by the Humane Society to expand my pet care knowledge. When I was a teenager, we adopted a pet of our own - an elderly dog with a lot of special needs. Later on, I held a summer job on an educational farm, where I cared for a variety of farm animals on a daily basis and facilitated safe interactions with visitors. More recently, I've expanded my repertoire to include cats and house sitting. Right now I am available for full days on Sunday and Wednesday and nights from 6 pm to 8 am the rest of the week. I cannot board pets in my own home but am committed to meeting your pets' specific needs at your home or on walks. I find it best to have a conversation with prospective clients ahead of time about their expectations.

“Emily has been wonderful to work with so far! She understands our reactive dog and has been able to put him at ease. She was very thorough with her drop-in record, including details and photos that capture our dogs’ personalities and gave us the information we needed while we were away. We will absolutely be using Emily’s care services in the future. We are lucky to have found her!”


About: I’ve taken care German Shepherds, Labs, Weimaraner and mixed breeds. I currently care for my four rescue dogs ranging from 9 yrs to 3 yrs old. All were 5 months old except for my Weim, which we rescued at 1.5 yrs. Been around and cared for dogs since I was 12yrs old. I work from home on Fridays with a flexible schedule and off on weekends to allow me to give plenty of attention and exercise to your dog. I will follow the written instructions of your dog’s routine to make it a less stressful experience and hopefully and fun experience for your pup.

About: If your pet has less than eight legs, I’m here to help! I have personal ownership experience of rabbits, ferrets, cats, and dogs. I am an artist which affords me a uniquely flexible schedule that allows me to easily adapt to your needs! I’ve worked with animals of all ages and sizes! For everything I don’t know, I refer to my sister who is a certified vet tech! I’m a full-time artist meaning my schedule has near-complete flexibility. I am easily bookable day-of most days, and am available for overnight care. The portability of my work allows me complete flexibility to meet the needs of you and your pet(s). Your pets are your most cherished family members, and I never lose sight of that. Maintaining the utmost respect for your pets and your property is always my top priority.

“Nicole was absolutely great with the two bigs doggos that can be a handful. Super informative and responsive. Will be booking Nicole again! Definitely recommend if you’d like to feel at ease while away.”


About: I grew up with all kinds of animals. If they have four legs, I pretty much enjoyed to be around. Zoos are my place to experience all breeds of life. I currently work from home. This has allowed me to have all the time needed to bond with pets. I also enjoy my 3 acres of space. I want to have it used by any pet who loves to roam outside. Just alot of space to entertain pets. My yard is not all fenced in. However its away from any sort of traffic. Very quite and alot of pet friendly homes. I can assure to put safety first at all cost.

“Michaela was awesome with our cats. A couple of them (we have 6) are very shy, and she didn't see much of them, but I know they were well taken care if while we were away. Would definitely recommend Michaela!!”


About: I've had cats since I was about 4 years old, and trained my own service dog (adopted as a senior from a pound) from 2016-2023, when she sadly passed. I've taken care of a range of pets belonging to family, friends, and family's friends and coworkers. I can handle pets of all ages, from kittens/puppies to senior animals, as well as working on training and house-breaking. I'm currently only working part-time with very few hours, so pet care is honestly how I'd like to spend my spare time and make my income. I'm very focused on the details of individual pet's care. I always make sure I understand the feeding schedules and amounts, how often the animals need to go outside, whether they can be off-leash in a fenced in area or if they need to be on an outside line or on a leash, whether or not cats go on walks, and I'm very careful to not leave human food around for them to get into. I always ask as many questions as possible to make sure I provide the best care for the pets I'm looking after.

About: Currently offering weekends only. I specialize in working with difficult dogs. Your dog will learn or improve: - Loose leash walking - Impulse control - Basic obedience (sit, down, stay, leave it, come, look, touch) - Fetch (if environment allows) All walking/training programs are catered to your wants and needs and your dog's personality. No matter your situation, your pup will be tired mentally and physically after every session. Available Saturdays and Sundays! Unfortunately no weekdays. I live in Preston with my beautiful wife and two pups and am proud to serve my local area. I am experienced with all kinds of dogs and training methods. In addition to professional training, I am a volunteer trainer and member of the Behavior Modification Squad at the Connecticut Humane Society, where I work almost exclusively with difficult and/or reactive dogs. As such, I am equipped to handle situations that most walkers / trainers are not. I am serious about safety. Unless you have a tall fenced in yard, I will never let your pup out off leash. If I'm not comfortable with your leash or collar I might use my own slip lead with a safety stopper. I am an excellent communicator and will make sure you are satisfied from start to finish. I'll also ensure that you are comfortable with my methods in general (I prefer to use balanced methods but can use purely positive if you prefer). I'm flexible to meet your needs!

About: I have always been an animal lover, having multiple cats, dogs, chickens and taking care of the animals on my aunt’s farm since I was a child. I work at a doggy daycare which has enhanced my knowledge of different breeds energy levels, mannerisms and needs as they grow older. I would love to give your furry kids all the fun, love and care they would otherwise miss while you are away! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to give your furry kids lots of love and attention! I’m available on the weekends, mornings 7-11am and at night after 6:30pm and offer overnight care everyday. I will follow any instructions or suggestions you give me and always respect your home. If you have a fenced in yard I will let your kids run wild, if not, I will happily take them on a 30 min walk minimum and play with them lots afterward so they get a good exercise! I will give them lots if attention and kisses and send you pictures of them living their best life!

About: I have had pets all of my life. Growing up we have always taken in shelter dogs and I continue as an adult to adopt rescue dogs. I have taken in dogs while my friends and family have been away and had dog sat at other peoples homes. I have always had dogs with some anxiety and I am very patient with the pups because I know fear in animals and I just want them to feel safe. I am reliable and very compassionate I currently work part time and have a very flexible schedule. I am available week days and nights and on the weekends. I can work with your a schedule. My yard is not fenced and my dog is trained to stay in the yard. I take my dog Scotty for walks and I use a harness on him. I am very patient as I would be new to your pet and it would take them time to get used to me.

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years—from cuddly lap cats to energetic pups. I’m reliable, gentle, and always focused on keeping pets happy. I’m currently working part-time while going to Eastern State University so I’m pretty flexible! I’m primarily looking to work Mondays, anytime after 12 pm and Fridays. :) Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for. You can trust me to treat your furry family members like my own, ensuring peace of mind while you’re away.

Kathryn has always had a passion for animals and took very good care of her own cat, I remember being at work and she would check in on her cat through the camera she set up for her. She would also go back to her house in Norwich from Foxwoods during her lunch break to check in on her cat. Kathryn currently works for All Bright Canines and is with animals on a daily base. She is in college as well online, very well rounded. I trust Kathryn to take care of my animals and she is going to be taking care of my two dogs when I go away on vacation!”
