Dog Sitting Troutman

“Communicative, professional, and took great care of my crew… with a last minute and late night booking! I look forward to the peace of mind having Peyton house sit while we’re out of the country for 3 weeks coming up as well!”

About: I grew up in a house where there were always more paws than feet. From the time I was born through my years in high school, I was the designated caregiver for our family pets and the "go-to" sitter for neighbors and friends. Having owned and cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, I understand that pets aren't just animals—they’re family members with their own unique personalities and routines. What Sets Me Apart I am a Senior Software Engineer currently working remotely, which means I offer a level of reliability and structure that is hard to find. I’m a regular at the gym and love staying active, so if you have a high-energy dog that needs a long walk or a vigorous play session, I’m your guy. My Care Style Reliable Communication: I’m tech-savvy and organized; you’ll get regular updates, photos, and quick responses. Multi-Pet Expertise: I’m comfortable managing households with multiple animals (including cats!). Active & Attentive: Whether it’s a focused walk or just some quality couch time for a senior pet, I adapt to what your pet needs most. I’m currently between projects and have plenty of availability to provide your pets with the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! If you want to see more of how I take care of my own personal dogs, they have their own Instagram called Pinero_Pups, take a look! I am a tech professional currently in a career transition, which means I have an incredibly flexible schedule and am home for the majority of the day. Unlike a standard 9-to-5 sitter, I am available to provide constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions. Whether it's a weekday or a weekend, your pet will be my primary focus, and I can easily adapt to their specific feeding and exercise routines. Having cared for dogs and cats my entire life, safety is my top priority. My home environment is pet-friendly and well-organized, and I am experienced in managing multi-pet households (including both dogs and cats). I am a firm believer in clear communication; you’ll receive consistent photo updates and check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. In my care, your pet will have: A Secure Environment: I am diligent about door safety and leash security during walks. Active Supervision: I’m a regular at the gym and love staying active, so I have the energy to keep up with high-energy breeds. Personalized Attention: I respect each pet's boundaries—whether they need a vigorous game of fetch or a quiet corner to nap in.

About: I have experience walking and caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, including feeding, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and exercise. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or just needs company and care, I’m happy to help. I’m available on weekdays (Monday–Friday) from early morning until late afternoon, 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with flexibility to work some weekends 10am-3pm Saturdays and Sundays. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I pay close attention to their routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care.

“I’ve only used Rover a few times, but whenever I do, I always book Caitlin. I was lucky to find her the very first time I tried the app. We have two rescue dogs, and one of them can be pretty anxious and temperamental. Caitlin is incredibly patient with our pups when we travel, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re in her care. Our dogs don’t warm up to many people, but they absolutely adore her. Highly recommend!”

“Kristina is an excellent sitter. After meeting her I never worried about my dog, and I received plenty of photos during her stay with my dog.”

About: I’ve spent my lifetime taking care of dogs. I grew up owning dogs and spend my free time volunteering at the local humane society. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. At home, I have a 3 year old pit bull mix and a tiny 14 year old cockapoo. I’ve cared for puppies and young dogs, training them to walk nicely on a leash, ring a bell to go outside, and do simple tricks like sit, lay down, shake, and more. I enjoy spending time with animals and developing tailored care for all personalities. I work Wednesday’s and Thursday’s 8-4pm, but I am open all other days and hours outside of that. I’m available for drop ins, overnights, and for walks. It depends on the pets and their specific needs. I work with the owner making sure that the expectations are met and each pet gets the personalized care they need.

About: I’ve had pets for over 12 years and have dog sat for a few people before so I know what is expected and how to make a new furry friend. I currently am on summer break from college and taking appointments until August 9th. I own a landscape company so I work the hours of my choice so I’m pretty flexible with scheduling. I love for animals just like they are a human, I am very respectful, responsible and patient when it comes to animals. Pets have my full heart.

About: In addition to taking care of my dog for the last eleven years, I also have experience watching family friends dogs when they are away for the night. Pet care isn’t apart of my daily routine as much when I’m at college, but when I’m at home I’m very diligent as I’m usually the only one home. With my own pets they are not with me at college, but when I am home I have to keep a close eye on my dog, Cleo, as she has some medical problems as a result of age now. So with her I’ll take her outside whenever she starts walking to the door, refill her water bowls, and heat her food that has to be homemade now. When I was dog sitting for the night, their dogs had a very specialized food plan and needed a lot of encouragement and patience when it came to feeding.

About: I'm a caring and attentive pet lover with experience raising my own dogs. I'm comfortable with all ages and energy levels, and I treat every pet like my own with love, patience, and reliability. I can help with basic training, medication, or just lots of play and cuddles! I work from home, so your pet will get plenty of attention throughout the day! I’m flexible with walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and can adjust to your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, give them plenty of love and supervision, and always keep an eye on their comfort and well-being. You’ll get regular updates, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“My dog can be very shy and scared around new people, but Kayla was incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding with her. She took the time to make him feel comfortable and safe, and it truly meant so much to me. She was also a great communicator and very flexible, which made the whole experience stress-free.”

“Taren is the best. She has been walking my babies off and on for a year now. She is always so thorough with her notes, and my boys love her. Thank you for all you do, Taren!”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have personally trained my own dogs, giving me a strong understanding of canine behavior, obedience, and positive reinforcement techniques. As an Assistant Manager at a boarding facility, I gained experience safely handling dogs, administering oral and injectable medications, monitoring pets for signs of illness or distress, and ensuring their daily care and well-being. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided reliable pet sitting services, including dog walking and overnight care for pets that require feeding, medication, companionship, and supervision while their owners are away. I am patient, dependable, and committed to providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I also have three dogs of my own—a German Shepherd, a Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, and a Dachshund mix—which further strengthens my daily experience and passion for animal care. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. With three dogs of my own, I’m used to structured schedules that include feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting them in theirs, I make sure they receive the time, exercise, companionship, and care they deserve. I plan my day around the pets in my care so they are never left without the attention they need, and I treat every animal as if they were a member of my own family. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise through daily walks, extra potty breaks, and supervised outdoor time on a leash. I believe dogs deserve more than just being kenneled, so they spend lots of time out of their kennel enjoying playtime, attention, and affection throughout the day. I strive to keep their routine as close to home as possible, providing a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away

“Highly recommended! Could not have asked for better sitter. Justin took excellent care of both our dogs. Our dog Cas has special needs and can be a real handful for most people but not for Justin. Will definitely use him again!”

About: I love dogs. I have two large dogs of my own, one being a senior dog. I have also taken dog training classes and puppy classes. I’m available to dog-sit, walk, or house sit any day and at any time. I am currently not working so I have all the time to dedicate to your pet. I am very wary of dogs and their behavior. I don’t push boundaries for your pet and will let you and your pet take the lead!

“Christina was great with our cat! We booked somewhat last minute and she was very quick to respond and communicative.”

“Nick did a wonderful job! Deuce needs some special care and Nick fulfilled those needs. Nice peofessional guy! Very trustworthy. No need to worry about leaving your pets with Nick in charge! Thank you Nick! Deuce will be looking forward to future visits!!!”

Bonnie C.

“Holly is the best! I never worry when she is taking care of Patsy because she knows exactly what to do and always gives my dog the best care! Patsy is always happy and tired when she is done watching her!”

“Angie took good care of Leo while I was away. I would recommend her and plan to have her take care of Leo again. Thank you!”

About: I’ve always been around pets as they have always given me a sense of purpose. The unconditional love they give is unmatched in the world we live in. The feeling I get to watch the wag of a tail or the purrrrr of a kitty is satisfying and fulfilling. Being an empty nest mom to my puppies is awesome. Knowing that we all have lives, yet want the best for our fur babies is where I found my niche. Giving them what you want to give them but can’t because of responsibilities is where I am able to make a difference for YOU and them. It’s enjoyment for me and piece of mind for you knowing that they are getting the BEST care and attention when you can’t be there As mentioned, being an empty nester and not having nearly as much mom related responsibilities, caring for pets is an everyday desire. I am flexible and available most times. I do not however embark in overnight sitting I will care for pets as if they are MY OWN and to the guidelines of the pet owner. My pets are disciplined and love to play and cuddle. I’ll care for all fur babies the same way as I do my own.

About: I’m Lawrence and I love dogs. Pet sitting is so rewarding! I also love that I have the freedom to work at home, while caring for animals. You’ll love that I’m able to spend the entire day with your dog so I can get to know their personality and individual needs. Customers remark say I have calming energy that animals feed off and creates a great environment for their care. I pay the utmost attention to the owner’s wishes and perspective as well as the dog themselves. I treat and respect every stay as a unique experience and hope to connect with you to create a respectful and symbiotic relationship. I live in a cozy home in Norwalk with Gabby. Our neighborhood is dog-friendly and perfect for walking. The streets are calm and you can rest assured your dog is in safe hands when walking around my neighborhood. We have a great park across the street from my house which, with your permission, I’d love to take your pup to. I have a range of experience with all sizes, breeds, and personalities of pups. I grew up with Shepherds and Labs but have spent time with many dogs. My fiancé Gabby will be there as well to provide extra cuddles. My clients have fallen in love with her natural ability and calmness. She’s a great partner and your pup will be lucky to have us both in their care. When I’m not spending time with pups (or when I am), I enjoy relaxing with Gabby, developing video games and skateboarding.
