About: I’ve worked with dogs for several years and have hands on experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a dog of my own named Roma, and my first job was working at a doggy daycare easily my favorite part of every day. I loved getting to know each dog and their unique personalities. I always make sure your pet is in the best hands and treat every pup as if they were my own. I also provide photo updates during visits so you can feel at ease I’m not currently in school, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and accommodate a wide range of needs. I’m available during weekdays, weekends, and can also work holidays as needed. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care, last minute bookings, and extra attention when your pet needs it most If requested by the owner, I’m happy to take pups on walks. During visits, I focus on playtime, enrichment, and giving treats if permitted, while making sure your pup is happy, well fed, and properly cared for

About: I am a new Connecticut resident who recently moved from all the way from Cedar Rapids, Iowa where I had one family dog and two cats. Ever since I was young, I always loved taking care of our dog, Cocoa, by taking her on walks, bathing and brushing her, and relaxing with her! I have had the pleasure of pet sitting for my neighbors who had 4 dogs and 3 cats and were very fun to play and hang out with. I am thoroughly familiar with cleaning up accidents and administering medicine when needed. I am very excited to meet people in CT as a new resident and spend time with some lovely animals! I currently have a very open availability and am happy to be of service morning, afternoon, nights, and weekends. I can be available for long periods of time to make sure pets can get plenty of exercise and attention! At this time, I am unable to house pets at my home, but am very willing to visit a clients home and stay the night if needed!

About: I’ve been taking of animals since I was 11, I got my fist dog at 11 and he was my responsibility. Ever since then we’ve always had at least one dog at home, big and small. I started having cats at the age of 14, I’m experienced with cats as well as big, small and medium dogs. My family members have entrusted me to care for their pets while away and it’s always been a pleasure watching after them. I currently have dogs and cats of my own, 2 dogs and 6 cats. I was in a pet grooming course for a year, so I’d be happy to accommodate grooming needs such as baths, and comfort groomings. I’m currently unemployed, so I’m pretty flexible on when I can care/look after your pets. I have no issues with early mornings or late afternoon checkups on your pups or cats. My pets get fed twice a day and the cats get their space cleaned everyday. With 6 cats that’s a lot of litter boxes so I can help with that too.

This is our first Rover experience and it went very well. Christyna looked after our cat for a week. She helped brush our cat’s teeth, wrote up detailed Rover card, and took good pictures. Will definitely rebook if we are out of town again.

About: Hi my name is Sofia! 😁🐾 Growing up I’ve had a range of pets, from hamsters to iguanas. Dogs have always been in my life! I’ve owned two Rat Terriers and currently go on frequent walks with my partners yorkie poo. I take pride in my care for animals, as well as people. I was my own grandmas care provider, as well as a Diet Aid Server for the senior living, so I understand the necessity for patience, routine, and consistency. Your pet will be in great hands while we await your return! I’m looking to board on the weekdays (Mon-Thurs) at any time, and I am available on the weekends (Fri-Sun) in the early morning to early afternoon. When I dog walk, I don’t wear headphones or earbuds for my own as well as my dog’s safety. I also always put protective weather gear on the dogs I walk when it’s chilly, snowy, or rainy! I prioritize early morning or late evening walking when it’s hot.

Angela did many drop-ins to my apartment for a 5 day trip. She was super accommodating, nice, responsive, and took fantastic care of my high energy and needy young cat. I was very paranoid about leaving her and Angela communicated and sent many great photos to ensure me my kitty was well taken care of. I could relax on vacation without having to worry. I would absolutely recommend her!!

About: I have grown so fond of taking care of fur babies the more years I do it. I enjoy working with all different breeds and building a connection to the pets I take care of. I’ve learn to work with all ages, breeds, behaviors. The best part? Knowing that people entrust me to bring their fur babies back to me, and knowing that the dogs are excited to return. I have a part time job currently so I have plenty of time to be with your pet(s) whenever I’m not at work, so it’s flexible. I like to thoroughly ask questions about the dog I’ll be taking care of (food, any medications? Exercise? Do they like to play? Etc.) I want to make sure not only yourself but the dog is as comfortable as can be.
