“Roderick walked my three dogs and handled them with remarkable calm; that’s no small feat when two of them pull. He took every photo and logged every entry in the app, which is genuinely hard to do with three dogs on leash. We’d absolutely use him again and recommend him without hesitation.”
“Highly recommend! Samantha is always on time, dependable, and keeps me updated throughout the visit. Most importantly she is kind and caring with my dog, which gives me great peace of mind. I’m very happy with her service.”
About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience, starting with caring for family dogs and continuing professionally at a doggy daycare. I work with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments, ensuring safe play, proper routines, and individualized attention. As a dog owner myself, I understand the trust involved in pet sitting and treat every dog with patience, consistency, and care. I can do Mornings from 5:30 or 6am to 11am, I work from 12-6 pm so after work I can do 6:30pm-whenever is needed. from Monday-Friday. Weekends I can do anytime. I always make sure that the pets are safe, are always feed, always have water, and I take them out on walks very frequently. If the parents are ok with it I also like to take them to dog parks to learn socialization and to be able to run around and have fun without possibly breaking anything in the house.
About: My name is Kristina Leigh. I recently turned 42 years old ( in human years) I have spent the majority of these years sharing my life with dogs. I have experience working as a groomer, working at a pet store, and I also have Emergency 24hr Veterinary Hospital Clinic experience. I took classes at Northwestern CT Community College in the Vet Tech program. I have loved 3 amazing senior sweet rescue pitbulls throughout my adult life, and countless four-pawed friends in between. I am not a stranger to exotic reptiles, amphibians, and small rodents of all varieties. This includes my lifetime passion for fresh and salt water fish care. I am very calm, gentle, and patient when it comes to caring for senior dogs and nervous pups. I have basic first aid pet knowledge, but most importantly I have common sense. The most important thing to me personally, is to completely put your mind at ease. Your pets are in great hands. I know and understand as a pet parent the worry that often comes with being away from your pet. That being said, I can guarentee that proper care, respect, and instructions will be shown and followed with your animal and within your home. But I am certain that you will feel at ease by how your pet behaves in my presence. I love animals, and they know it. Trust and respect are incredibly important for me when I am choosing who cares for my pet, my dog is my little chubby dumpling princess. The absolute best is what I ask and expect, and that is what I give to your own little buddies. I have my own transportation, and can accommodate new changes in schedule in a reasonable amount of time. My schedule is flexible, and so is my character. I am more than willing to help create a solution when one feels impossible. All you need do is ask. Things happen; life happens, and hopefully you will feel that choosing me as your pet's Auntie makes things much easier for you. I take the safety of your furry family member very seriously I have training experience walking bouncy puppies, "pully" pooches, and slow older doggos. I am patient, calm, and know my surroundings at all times during the walks. I can help teach your dog proper leash etiquette if it is wanted I absolutely love spending time around dogs and animals. This is my passion, and if I could do this for free everyday, I would. I have plenty of time to put towards the care of animals. I have a detailed schedule that I follow, and everything is organized and on track. I understand that while caring for animals, extreme care must be taken. I have been called over-protective when it comes to my own pets. But it is for their own protection. Unfortunately, they lack the legal rights that humans have. I am very careful when other animals are around (especially leash-less wildcards coming in hot towards myself and the dog I'm walking ) therefore, it is my choice to not allow strangers to pet any animal I am caring for. Similar to working dogs. There are too many negative examples of pets becoming unfairly removed from their homes because of some untrue accusation. An example is this: You've definitely seen dogs " smiling" to their owners. Some dogs just learn that behavior, and it is far from aggressive behaviour in their minds. Now say someone asks to pet your dog on a walk. The dog smiles, and it is misinterpreted as aggression, person is scared, maybe they act in a way that is embarrassing once they realize they aren't in danger. Maybe they create a scenario in their minds where they were bitten and then they want the " violent" dog put down. and then that is where the mess begins. Safety first!
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, birds, chickens, fish, and horses since I was little. Anything from feeding to exercise to medical needs I can handle. As I am taking online classes for college as well as commuting from home, my schedule is super open and I’m ready to care for your animals! I have a large fenced in yard with a park right next door for easily accessible walks and exercise. I also have two dogs who are very friendly and love to be around others. I can easily separate if necessary
“My dog was calm and well cared for after his walk with Angela. She followed all my instructions and took lots of pictures of my my dog while she was with him. He looked like he was having fun.”
“We met Katie for a meet and greet and scheduled a dog walk together. I have 2 rescues who are both anxious and get nervous with new people. She has been very patient with them and asked lots of questions to better understand their behaviors. Katie has been great with our dogs and they are warming up to her. I will definitely be booking with Katie again.”
“I’m so grateful I found Cheyenne to care for my dogs while we were away! She did a wonderful job and I was worry-free on vacation knowing she was taking such great care of them. I loved her detailed notes and photos! Will def be requesting Cheyenne again in the future :)”
“Thea was the best!! She came right on time and gave Maggie a nice long walk. She seemed so happy in the pictures and our girl even gave her the infamous sad puppy face when she was leaving. That’s how we know she loves Thea!!”

I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to make sure they feel secure and loved. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow any instructions you provide whether that’s feeding schedules or favorite toys. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thomaston
Madeline was an absolute gift to our family over the holidays. Leaving my elderly dogs is never easy, especially with their medications and special routines, but she handled everything with such care, attention, and professionalism that I was able to relax and truly enjoy time away. She was incredibly thorough with their medications, made sure their meals were prepared exactly as needed, and took such thoughtful care with their walks and daily needs. It was clear she treated them like her own, checking in consistently and keeping me reassured every step of the way. I would recommend Madeline without hesitation to anyone especially those with senior pets or animals who need extra love and attention. She is reliable, compassionate, and truly exceptional at what she does.
