“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.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mother ran an animal rescue, and I was fortunate to spend my childhood helping care for, socialize, and train animals of all kinds; primarily dogs and cats. This experience taught me not only how to understand animal behavior, but also the patience, compassion, and consistency that every pet deserves. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or requires extra patience and attention, I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel secure and cared for. As a pet sitter and walker, I treat every animal as an individual and make their comfort, safety, and well-being my top priorities. You can expect reliable communication, attentive care, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and becoming someone you can trust whenever you need an extra helping hand. Experience Highlights * Raised in a family-run animal rescue environment * Experience caring for and handling dogs and cats of all ages * Familiar with basic training and positive reinforcement techniques * Comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and high-energy pets * Patient, gentle, and attentive to individual needs * Reliable communication and dependable care As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care naturally into my daily routine. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, or simply having a calm presence nearby, I can provide care tailored to their individual needs. I take pride in being reliable, responsive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I provide calm, attentive, and individualized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow all instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment with minimal disruption. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of companionship and affection. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can respond appropriately to each pet’s comfort level; whether they are energetic, shy, anxious, or senior. I aim to create a safe, relaxed atmosphere where pets feel secure and cared for. If caring for pets in my own home (when applicable), I ensure a quiet, clean, and supervised environment with consistent routines, regular outdoor breaks, enrichment, and lots of attention. Safety is always the top priority, and I only introduce new animals in a controlled and compatible way. Overall, I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and genuine care.

As of August 2026, there are 1,477 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Tolland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Tolland. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Tolland.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
