About: Newly moved to Simsbury! I grew up working closely with a rescue in the Carolinas, so I've spent pretty much my whole life caring for pups of all kinds! From the energetic puppies who trip over their own ears (and may not be totally potty trained yet) to the sassy seniors who just want to chill and may need a little extra TLC, I believe all of our furry friends deserve the same level of love and care. I know we all wish we could just stay home with them every day, but for those who can't I'm here to help! I'll take care of any ear scritches, walkies and treatos your pup needs to be happy and healthy when you get back! I work weekends, which leaves me free to care for your furry friends while you do your obligatory "9-5" during the school day. Just don't tell my dogs I'm petting your dogs! Whether we are hanging out in your back yard or walking to a local park, I'll make sure your pup gets all of the attention and care needed.

“Could Paula get any better? It’s impossible. In two visits she has our crazy puppy minding on leash and exhausted for the remainder of the day. Paula even helped source some strategic training in our immediate area. We are feeling blessed to know Paula and appreciate her patience and loving persistence with sweet, crazy Sophie!”

“Our dog gets very nervous being with new people, but he took to Maeve right away! She spent lots of snuggle time with him and we really appreciated her attentiveness and reliability. And he’s happy to have a new friend!”

About: I took a break from 2021 to present and am looking forward to resume. I have cared for dogs for my family and friends previously with great joy! They love me as much! Reliable, caring, and I like to walk. I’m retiring 1/2/20 and am looking forward to meeting and loving your dogs! I do have a small dog myself who loves to walk also. I am available to watch your animals on a flexible schedule. I live on a walking trail, close to a couple of dog parks and McLeans. A big backyard set back from the road. We enjoy being outdoors.

“Tyler was kind enough to walk Milo for me on Thanksgiving. Milo was very happy to go with Tyler and was not stressed out when I got home. Tyler was very kind to Milo and I will definitely use him again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and even hamsters throughout the years. I am patient with any cat or dog. I am very flexible with hours and payment. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pet and create a meaningful relationship with them. 🐶🐹🐱 Experienced and Willing. After graduating with my Masters in 2023, I am currently a part-time therapist and have flexibility in my schedule for drop ins, housesitting, and walking. My schedule is fairly consistent each week and I can devote time to your pets and their needs. I like to bring dog or cat treats for whoever I’m taking care of because I like to create a meaningful relationship with your pet.

“Seriously one of the best experiences with a Rover. Lots of photos lots of communication and a cute little report. Made us feel so good the pets we so cared for.”

“Heather is the absolute best dog walker we have ever had. She goes above and beyond on each visit, always staying longer than she needs to to make sure our dog is happy and taken care of. We trust her completely. She will even bring her own toys to help exercise our very active beagle. She sends adorable pictures and notes with each visit. Recently, she went back to our house after her scheduled visit to open windows because she was concerned the fumes from some floor staining would affect our animals! She is very attentive and responds quickly to any questions or concerns we have. Her schedule is very flexible and accommodates whatever we need. You can tell she truly cares for all animals. We love Heather and recommend her without any reservation!!”

“Very thankful that Jessica and Chris were available on short notice. They spent a good amount of time with my pup and provided some cute pictures! Definitely recommend”

About: I have 10 years of experience working with pets in a variety of settings including animal shelters, veterinary offices, pet daycares, and as a pet sitter! I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, and can provide specialty care such as medications. I currently do not have a 9-5 so have a flexible M-F schedule! I usually do not have weekends available, but feel free to message and ask if it is a longer stay that would go over the weekend. I ensure to respect your pet and your home. I know it is difficult to trust people with your pets, and I promise to take the utmost care. I have a senior dog myself, and understand every pet is different and has their own needs.

About: I am comfortable with dogs of any size. I’ve had my dog for 15 years and cared for him when he had both his knees operated on. I previously worked for an animal shelter for 6 months. I work 8am-4pm during the week and am available after 5pm during weekdays (except Wednesday). I can be flexible on the weekends and some holidays. Because my dog has arthritis, he uses a run in the front yard. When he was a puppy, he was crate trained. I also have a partially fenced in yard and enjoy walking dogs.

About: I have been a pet parent my whole life. I love all animals and will love your's too! Trusted by family, friends, neighbors and animals. I am available to stay over at your home so your fur babies stay safe and comfortable in their homes. Mature, reliable and trustworthy. I have my own transportation and will provide peace of mind that your furry family members are well cared for. Background checked and references. My pets are spoiled rotten and are valuable family members. All are well taken care of and provided with plenty of love, snuggles and kisses. I will care for your pet as if it were my own.

“Jeffrey was great walking the dogs - I have two and they can be a handfull but he was able to handle them. Really nice guy.”

About: I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I focus on patience, consistency, and reinforcing the training and routines you’re already working on. With seniors, I provide gentle, attentive care and make sure they stay comfortable and stress-free. I truly care about your pet’s well-being and happiness. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home and am home most of the day. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, meals on schedule, and companionship throughout the day rather than long stretches alone. I tailor my care based on the service and your pet’s needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on consistency, comfort, and safety. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide plenty of attention and companionship, reinforce training for puppies, and offer patient, gentle care for senior pets. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: i’ve been dogsitting in my community since i was a freshman in high school, usually staying in the animals homes with them to care for them. i continued this in college. i’d love to bring your fur babies on my daily walks! i work during the day 4 days a week, and i walk every morning and every night. i’d love to bring your pups with me! i am very comfortable with dogs and cats. i am familiar with signs of discomfort and ailment. every animal is unique and i tailor to your- and your fur baby’s- needs! :)

About: What makes me stand out? Well, since I work from home, I’m basically a full time buddy, ready for all the walks, belly rubs, and play breaks your pet wants. I’m pretty patient and gentle, which makes me great with both mischievous puppies and wise old furballs. Plus, I’ve helped with some basic training, so I’m happy to be your pet’s cheerleader for good behavior. Basically, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and I make sure they’re happy, comfy, and spoiled while you’re away! I work from home, so pet care fits really well into my daily routine. I’m able to take breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and just giving the pet some attention and company. Since I’m home most of the time, I can be really flexible and make sure the pet feels comfortable and cared for all day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I always try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of attention, exercise, and bathroom breaks, and I keep their environment clean and safe. In my home, I give them a cozy space and supervise them closely, especially during outdoor time. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and always leave things as I found them. No matter where I’m caring for them, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs since I was 14. I was a free-lance dog walker for my neighborhood so I’ve had plenty of experience with many kinds of dogs! I work part-time so I’ll be able to take care of your pups as long as I’m not working. I enjoy taking dogs on walks as I enjoy being active. I have plenty of toys to keep your pups busy as well as my own dog, Tucker, to keep them company! I will play with them and give them as much attention and love as I can.
