About: With lifelong pet experience, I care for dogs and cats of all sizes, from puppies and kittens to seniors. I can administer meds, run errands, and tidy your home! I'm currently working full-time remotely. This means I can check on your pets during my lunch break, or cater my schedule to your pet's needs. I am also available most evenings and weekends. I love caring for pets in their own home, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I tailor my care to their needs—whether it’s administering medication for a cat with thyroid issues, encouraging them to eat, or providing gentle walks for senior pets like my late dog. For high-energy dogs, like my parents’ chocolate lab, I engage in active play, while small pets who need extra help, like my friend’s Pomeranian and Pekingese, get all the cuddles and lifts they need. I'm flexible and dedicated to providing the best care for your pet and your home!

I love to keep a dog busy and happy!

“Sara has been AMAZING to work with! Our Davy girl needed some time to adjust to a new person and Sara was so patient and understanding! Sara has always been incredibly responsive and professional and is excellent at sharing pictures and videos of our pup. Sara is a great problem solver and noticed that when a certain leash was not working with Davy was able to switch to another leash and truly met Davy where SHE was at. Davy loves spending time with Sara and we’re so happy she’s been able to work with our schedules! Thanks Sara, appreciate you!”

“We’ve used Richie several times to walk and feed our 2 pitties and could not be happier. He was professional, communicative, and loved on our babies while we were away. We are super picky about who we allow not only into our home, but to care with our doggies. Richie never disappointed! We will absolutely utilize him again in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for a great person to take care of your animals needs. Thanks Richie for being so great!”
About: I've taken care of family/friends pets (walks, feed, play) on and off over the years and I have fallen in love with it. I now have two loving cats that are my world, Cookie & Waffle. They're actually the best. I am working part time in a healthcare office in the mornings, and am available after 2pm to take care of your pets needs EXCEPT Mondays. I am NOT available. I have my own cats on a pretty typical schedule of feeding in the AM and PM. Playtime and occasional treats. My assisted grooming a couple times a month (Brushing and nail clipping). I would follow whatever the client needed to my best ability.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a kid. Neighbors always relied on me to help care for there pets when they were away. I have trained puppies and am good with seniors. Our pets are a priority and get taken care of first thing in the morning and always on a schedule. If they require special attention, that always comes first. It is imperative that the pets needs come first and stay on a schedule. Pets need to know that they can trust the provider and build a rapport. Pets will always be a priority.

I have much to experience with feeding, walking, litter boxes, and even distributing medicine as needed. I personally have had a corgi who got frequent seizures and had to be given medication three times a day. I am very confident in my skills with animals and will always prioritize the happiness and well being of your pets:) I currently work part time and I commute to school at WCSU.

“This was my first time using Rover, and also my first time having someone come into my home to care for my puppy, Kylie. Jodi’s experience and expertise with puppies put us at ease right away. She made us feel completely comfortable and did a fantastic job. We’ll definitely be booking her more often to take care of Kylie!”
About: I’ve always loved animals even the non furry ones. I believe in my abilities to care for them and provided excellent services. Furry family members are just as important as our immediate one’s. I’m a teacher so I’m currently off for the summer. My availability is very flexible so I can work around with whatever times you might need. As long as I have information within a reasonable timeframe I can accommodate. I will make sure your pet always adheres to the boundaries set by their owners. I live in an apartment complex that has a fenced in dog park if need be. It is also a pet friendly area. I also live 5 minutes from a bigger park easily accessible by walking.
About: Hello I have been watching dogs for several years now. I truly love the companionship of dogs. I have watched many breeds of dogs including Labradors, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, you name it. I have many dog toys at home and a sizeable yard for the dog to go potty in. I also have a large home so your pet will have plenty of space to roam around. I will send pictures daily and let you know how your dog is doing. If your dog has any special needs or requires any sort of medical attention I will be there to provide the required assistance. I also have a small dog at home and she loves the company of other dogs. I hope to hear from you soon!
About: My very first job was at a doggy daycare, where I cared for all types of dogs for years. This included playing with them, feeding them, picking up after them and bathing them. This job included a lot of patience and required a lot of passion for pet care. I gained a lot of quality experience caring for dogs of many breeds. To this day it has been one of the more fulfilling jobs I've ever had. In addition to that, I grew up with a dog (half poodle, half bichon frise) who lived until 16. Now, I have a fur niece who is 9 and love her as if she is my own! Between working in the doggy daycare industry, growing up with my own, and my overall huge love for dogs, I would be honored to care for any dog I could. Additionally, if I am dog sitting at my house, I have a big backyard for them to play in! I get home from work around 1pm each day at the latest, so I have plenty of time during the day to spend time and take care of the dog. I live in a standalone house on a quiet street. I have a big backyard that is partially fenced but I would always stay outside with them considering the surrounding woods.

Samantha M.
“Samantha is an amazing and caring pet mom. She took care of my dog Toby while I was away and treated him as her own, taking him on many walks and giving him much love and attention in my absence. She has also cared for my three cats and was wonderful with each and every one of them. She followed my instructions to a T. She has many years of experience owning pets and it just comes second nature to her. I would highly recommend her and would never use anyone else to care for my furbabies when I am not available. I give her five stars and beyond.”

Lucy M.
“Lucy Moran is an experienced and compassionate caretaker of animals. She is loving, reliable, and attentive to every animal's individual needs and personal quirks. Lucy is a natural, no matter the type of animal, and makes it her goal to provide the upmost care for each furry friend she meets along the way. I have worked with Lucy for 3 years, but it only takes 3 seconds to see that this person has a deep love for animals. Some might say she loves them more than people... Lucy personally has taken care of a wide array of dogs and cats. Her best friend, Joey, suffered from an affliction of seizures. Lucy made sure that he was always properly medicated, and in addition to that, went through a great deal of paperwork to correctly process all of his insurance claims. Lucy bolsters animals' spirits as much as she takes care of their physical needs. She is always chatting and spending time with her animals, and routinely makes sure that they are groomed and exercised. Lucy will sleep on the couch if her pup Roxy looks comfortable on the bed. Not the dog bed (one of several), but the bed made for humans. After all, according to Lucy, Roxy "gets what she wants when she wants it,". While Lucy can sometimes be blinded by her love of all critters, she never misses a beat when an animal is in trouble. Lucy has had experience dealing with various issues animals may encounter: seizures, insect bites, dry pallet syndrome, feeding necessities (both of medical necessity and personal preference), grooming schedules and maintenance, sound-based discomfort, and many more. She is always on the lookout to make sure the animals in her care are as carefree as can be. Lucy will not rest if there is an animal who is not 100% A-OK! While it may sound cliche, the ease that you feel entrusting your furry friends in her care will only be eclipsed by her love of your pets. Lucy will truly love caring for and getting to know your furry family and friends as much as you do. I suspect that for her, the most rewarding part of the Rover experience will be making many new friends. Lastly, Lucy is in general a bright light that radiates with warmth, empathy, and love. Please consider Lucy for all your pet-related needs and wants. Take care.”
