“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“Sean and Jill were great with Jack. They clearly knew how to take care of senior dogs, and went above and beyond to make sure Jack got comfortable with them since this was the first time they had him, and kept me in the loop with how he was doing. Would definitely rebook with them.”
“Great stay with fantastic photos/videos, playmates, and I can tell just how well Jenn and Inam care for all of the pups... definitely looking forward to future stays!”
“Corby had a wonderful time with Andrea and her family! She was great with communication and I picked up a very happy dog at the end of my trip! Thank you for taking such good care of my boy!”
“Haoran was an excellent pet sitter for our dog, Mango. She was so friendly and took great care of our pet by letting her have plenty of outdoor time and making sure she was comfortable. I would recommend her pet sitting services and look forward to working with her again!”
About: I have been working with, owning, and training dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 15 years. I’ve trained many dogs over the last 10 years and helped owners overcome a variety of issues they’ve encountered along the journey of ownership. Ever since I was little, I have loved animals, especially dogs! I believe that every dog is an individual, with their own personalities, likes, dislikes, and needs. I understand the importance of caring for each dog differently, and giving them what they need to feel loved. As a trainer, my philosophy is love and positive reinforcement only. I do not believe in dominance, aggression, or negative reinforcement in any way. I will work with your dog, even while sitting or walking, to help them grow and unlearn bad habits and learn new ones! Every dog deserves love and attention no matter what, and your dog will always feel special while in my care. My schedule is currently open, so I’ll be spending 100% of my time with your pups! As of right now, my home is open for boarding to any dog that needs to be cared for overnight or during the day. I am also available to stay at your home and babysit overnight, and am happy to watch more than one dog at a time if necessary. If you have a dog and cat at home that need sitting, that is fine as well. I am okay with having multiple dogs in my home as long as they are well-socialized and can handle being around other dogs. All bookings will be discussed in advance with the owners to determine each individual dog’s needs prior to arrival. Each pups temperament will be assessed and careful attention will be paid to the safety and well-being of every dog that stays in my home. I am open to drop-ins and walks at an owner’s home as my schedule permits, however, I do not currently own a car so the visits would have to be local. As noted in my bio, I have been a dog trainer and owner for over 15 years, and have experience with all types of dog breeds and temperaments. I understand how to communicate and handle dogs with poor temperaments and nasty habits. I do not believe in any type of negative reinforcement (i.e. yelling, hitting, shaming, isolating, dominating, crating as punishment, using choke or shock collars, and scaring a dog in any way to achieve training goals). If your pup is dog-aggressive (meaning he or she cannot be around other dogs at all), please let me know right away so I can make sure not to book any other dogs at the same time. If your dog is a puppy, let me know in advance as well, so I can make sure to book him or her alone or with dogs that are tolerant to puppy-behavior. I just moved into my apartment in Hartford on West Boulevard, which is completely gated with all entrances requiring a specific code to enter the premises. There is a dog-walking area with waste bags and some grass for the dogs to use when going outside. The complex is surrounded by suburban neighborhoods with ample sidewalks and places to take a dog on long walks if necessary. I am new to the area so I’m hoping to eventually find a good location to play fetch with the dogs or allow them to run around off leash. Potty breaks can be taken whenever necessary as the exit to my apartment is right down the hall and out the door. My apartment is a newly renovated, 1-bedroom apartment and is kept extremely clean at all times. I have no problem cleaning up after a dog if he or she makes a mess or has an accident, but please let me know if this will be a problem in advance and we will discuss how to handle it. If the accidents are often, I may request a small fee for regular or repeated cleanups, as they can cost money if real damage is done. Destructive chewers should come with something reliable to chew on and keep them busy. If your dog has separation anxiety, please let me know before booking so I can make the necessary accommodations. If your dog has any specific quirks or habits that are need to know, please be sure to inform me prior to booking so I can take care of your baby’s needs. Please bring anything that your dog would usually need on a daily basis, including toys, leashes, harnesses, waste bags, blankets, treats, and even a bed or crate if necessary. Your dog will be taken care of as if it were my own, I understand that your dog is like your child and is therefore a member of your family. As a dog-mom, I know how scary it can be to leave your baby with a stranger. I promise to make your pup feel at home and welcome at all times, and will do everything I can to make your baby comfortable and feel loved throughout their visit. You will see photos of me and my dog Cloud in my profile who is now 6 but is with his dad in Hamden at this time. I rescued him from Georgia after his pregnant mother was abandoned on the side of the road, and raised him since he was 6 months old.
“Triba is the best! Maggie absolutely loves Triba and I feel so comfortable leaving Maggie with her. She does such a great job of caring for Maggie and dealing with all of her quirks and challenges.”
“Noel and his family did a fantastic job with our puppy! They are well equipped and their our boy had a blast in their yard! Noel was amazing with sending updates and pictures. I would highly recommend!”
“Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!”
“We are so grateful for Christle! She went above and beyond taking care of Scooby and kept us updated throughout his stay. When our flight was delayed, she was incredibly kind and flexible about extending his stay. It’s such a relief knowing Scooby is in such loving hands. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Ifan was a fantastic dog sitter! He was very responsive and took great care of Roro. Roro had a wonderful time with him. I booked at the last minute, and Ifan responded immediately, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Ifan to others and will happily book with him again!”

“Zoe was caring and very responsible in caring for my cat. She provided regular updates (with videos and photos) and remained flexible in accommodating my needs as the 8 days I was gone was the longest I had left my cat at home. Will definitely rebook in the future and recommend her to friends!”
“We are so happy to find Khanh and Tommy to care for our Pluto while we are away for 2 weeks. We feel he is in good hands. He receives lot of loves and attentions like at home. My sons are excited seeing daily photos and videos of our Pluto playing with Khanh’s family and their dogs in their backyard. We will use them again and highly recommend their service! Thank you so much!”
“Mylinda is FANTASTIC!!! I immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog in her hands. She sent me lots of photos of their walks together. When I picked him up after a weekend away he was super happy. I'll most definitely have Mylinda watch my dog when I'm away in a couple of months. I would give her more 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“We found Anita and her wonderful family through Rover, and we are beyond grateful for the love and care they provide our dogs. Donnie and Nora absolutely love staying with them, and it’s clear they feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Anita keeps us updated with frequent photos and messages, which gives us complete peace of mind every time we’re away. Her family is incredibly kind, and their two daughters adore our dogs—it’s so special knowing our pups are not just being watched, but genuinely loved. We never have a single worry when Donnie and Nora are with Anita, and that level of trust is priceless. We will absolutely continue booking with Anita and her family for all future needs. I highly recommend them and can say with complete confidence that your pet will be in the very best hands.”

I always prioritize secure leash handling, water breaks, and positive reinforcement. Your trust means everything to me, and I care for your pets and home with professionalism, love, and integrity.

“Brittany was great! Very responsive, sent lots of photos, and was very communicative throughout her drop-ins with my baby Aurora. Highly recommend, and will be using her again in the future!”
“Madison was a blessing to me and my two cats. Her calm and caring demeanor helped my two rescue cats to relax and warm up to her within a few days. Any concerns were addressed right away and she kept our place tidy. She followed all the instructions I left. When I had to extend my time away, she was able to help. Madison, You are a beautiful and caring person. Thank you again. You relieved my anxiety during my tough time away and for this I am grateful!”
“Jillian was very friendly and super easy to work with! My cats really took to Jillian and I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her hands.”
“Meredith substituted for our regular cat sitter over the Christmas holiday. She did a great job of communicating with me and with our usual sitter (regarding the logistics of taking over, etc.), and our four cats and home were well taken care of under her watch. We will definitely hire Meredith again when/if our regular sitter isn't available.”
“This was the first time I booked Le'Andra to do daily check-ins on my cat Gabby while I was out of town. She was great! Le'Andra always stayed in communication with me by text. And she did her best to still take care of my cat while also dealing with the storm and very cold temperatures we recently had. Le'Andra is nice and very friendly. I would definitely request her again the next time I need a cat sitter, and would also recommend her to anyone considering booking her on Rover.”
“Callan is excellent. He’s pet sit at my home before for our two dogs and drop ins. He is incredibly reliable and continues to be great with our dogs. Thank you Callan!”
About: I have been an absolute cat lover and owner since I was a little girl! Cats are truly amazing pets, and they hold a very special place in my heart. Growing up with them taught me how to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and understand their unique personalities, whether they are super playful or quietly independent. I know that cats thrive on routine and can be sensitive to change. Because of this, they deserve a patient, loving, and attentive sitter who understands exactly what they need to feel safe and happy while you are away. Whether your kitty loves high energy feather toy chases, gentle grooming sessions, or just having someone quietly sit nearby for company, I am here to provide that perfect balance. I treat every cat like royalty and will care for yours just like my own childhood pets!
About: While my experience is mostly with seniors, I love and have experience with all age ranges. I've also cared for dogs that have had some medical issues and am super attentive to all my fur babies. I currently work full-time, but my hours are extremely flexible. I am in office Thurs-Sun, but my work day can end anywhere between 8am & 3pm. If I have pets in my home, I do provide a bed, feeding bowls, snacks, toys, and a lot of affection. I have a private park across the street as well as a fenced in backyard, depending on what the needs are. I am also located near Bushnell Park in case some extra running around is needed. I am good at giving medicine, if need be.

About: I have loved dogs and pets for as long as I can remember! Growing up, my home was always filled with multiple dogs, which taught me firsthand how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. When I left for college, I made the heartbreaking but responsible choice to rehome my dogs with amazing families. I knew that with my intense school schedule, I wouldn’t have the time, energy, or availability they truly deserved. To me, a pet's well-being always comes first. Now that my schedule is open and stable, I am eager to get back to working with animals! I am using this time to gain even more hands-on experience before I am ready to adopt a dog of my own again. By booking with me, your pet will get my full, undivided attention, lots of love, and the highest level of responsible care. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I recently graduated from college and have a few completely open months this summer before starting my full time career in September! Because of this, my schedule is incredibly open, flexible, and completely open for pet care. My personal daily routine revolves around fitness, going to the gym, and staying as active as possible. I absolutely love going on long, frequent walks, so looping your dog into my daily routine is a perfect match! Whether your dog needs high energy outdoor exercise, frequent potty breaks, or just consistent companionship throughout the day, I have the full time, energy, and capacity to dedicate to them. Your pet will be my top priority all summer long! Your pet will enjoy a safe, secure, and incredibly peaceful stay at my house! We have a completely fenced in yard with absolutely no other resident pets, giving your dog full reign of the space. There are also no neighboring dogs sharing our fence line, making it the perfect, stress free environment for pups who get easily anxious or reactive.I live with my mom and my 15 year old sister, both of whom love animals and will occasionally be around to offer extra head scratches and love. Because it is a calm, predictable household, your pet will get highly focused attention and a structured routine tailored exactly to their needs. When caring for your pet in your home, I treat your property with the utmost respect, care, and consideration. I am exceptionally neat, organized, and mindful of your space. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing that I will not only keep your pets happy and safe, but I will also make sure to leave your home cleaner and better than I found it.
“Triba is amazing! She loved peanut and made peanut feel safe and comfortable. This eased our anxiety too and we will definitely be working with Triba again soon!”

About: Um. Let’s see I have 3 dogs of my own and I know how unsettling it is to trust your babies with strangers who don’t understand them. Like what do you mean you don’t wrestle them down with kisses and tickles. You’re a monster. 🤷🏽♂️ I start my day at 4 am so my dogs are up pretty early. I let them out in the yard when I start the car for the gym, when I return we go on our breakfast walk, come home eat and then we go out back before I log in for the day. Most days my guys get 3-4 walks because it helps me with a fitness routine, going outside and clearing my head since I work remote. Our pets have full access to our home; however, during the day the are normally in the office with me because I can open the side door and window. Their crates and beds are also in there so anyone staying with us would most likely be in there; If we’re not outside we’re on the porch, back deck or walking.
“Hoaran was so attentive to my pup and kept me up to date for the whole stay. She was extremely accommodating to last minute inconveniences in our travel. Kona enjoyed her stay and came home very fulfilled!! Will definitely book again!!!”

About: My fiancé and I are lifelong dog lovers and share our home with Maple, our friendly golden retriever. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day in a calm home environment. I trained Maple myself, and she has earned her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification. Because of this, I value structure, consistency, and good manners, and our home is best suited for well-trained adult dogs that enjoy a calm household environment. I specialize in caring for social, house-trained dogs in a low-volume setting. Unlike larger boarding environments, I typically only accept one client at a time, allowing dogs to receive individualized attention, regular outdoor breaks, daily walks, and a comfortable place to relax throughout their stay. I have experience with large breeds including golden retrievers and labs, as well as senior dogs that benefit from a quieter and more personalized environment. Cleanliness, safety, and reliability are very important to me, and I strive to make each dog feel comfortable and at home while maintaining structure and routine. Because I work from home during the week, dogs are rarely left alone and are able to follow a calm and consistent daily routine. Dogs receive regular potty breaks, outdoor time, walks, rest throughout the workday, and attentive supervision during their stay. I intentionally keep bookings low-volume so each dog receives individualized care and a quieter environment than a traditional boarding setting. My schedule is best suited for adult dogs that are comfortable settling in a home environment during the day and are accustomed to a consistent routine. Safety, consistency, and a calm environment are very important in our home. Because I only take a limited number of dogs at a time, I’m able to provide attentive supervision and maintain a structured routine throughout each stay. Dogs are always leashed outdoors since our yard is not fenced, and I prioritize slow, thoughtful introductions to help dogs feel comfortable and successful in the home. Maple is friendly and social with visiting dogs and settles quickly after introductions. To ensure a good fit for everyone, I typically accept dogs that are: • house trained • crate trained • friendly with people and other dogs • able to settle calmly indoors • on a consistent feeding schedule Dogs are welcome on furniture, can sleep in my room or in their crate, and are treated like part of the household while maintaining structure and supervision.
About: I have been a pitbull pet owner for 25 years with multiple dogs. I work from home and can provide the best care and attention to your pet. I work from home and love taking walks around my neighborhood. I am a trusted professional, and mom who can be depended on to meet your pet's needs. I believe in walking dogs and playing frisbee. Getting good exercise. I'm highly dependable to meet your needs. My dog loves her belly rubs. She loves being outside in our big backyard.
About: If you’re looking for a massive dog lover to look after your fur baby, I’m your person! I have tons of experience with all kinds of breeds from tiny couch potatoes to giant balls of energy. I do everything from quick daily walks, drop ins, or full overnight stays. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and I will always treat your pet like they're my own. I recently finished my BFA and I am currently on the job hunt, so my schedule is super open! I love the outdoors and try to get out as much as I can so for doggos we will be getting lots of exercise, dog sitting and walking is exciting for me because it gives me more reason to get outside! I am a designer so when I am working, generally thats indoors so kittys would get tons of company from me! I wakeup early in the morning so I would be able to do the early morning feedings and walks. I also wind down at night on the earlier side, just reading or watching tv, so your animal would have a peaceful nighttime experience with flexibility for late night walks if it is desired by the dog. Whether I am hosting your pet in my home or visiting yours, my top priority is maintaining a consistent and safe routine that makes them feel secure. I am lucky to live right by multiple local parks and a dog park, so I can easily incorporate social time and outdoor play into our daily schedule, or my friend has a fenced in yard she has approved I would be able to use for playtime if your dog doesn't get along with other dogs. For dogs who love to explore, I’m a big fan of walks especially through the beautiful trails around Savannah. I think it’s the perfect way to get plenty of fresh air and exercise! I know most cats would stay in their own space as they are more of home bodies, but in any space, I will treat your kitty as my own!
“I’m very satisfied with Chris’s dog day care. Communication with him is clear and prompt. My dog had a great time playing with the few other dogs at the house. It is a great setup for a dog that does less well in large packs.”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, and I've always had the responsibility of taking care of them. I've cared for family dogs and I help my daughter with the care of dogs and cats. I like to make dogs feel at home. I don't work, I'm always at home, and if I have to go out I always take the dog with me; it gives me time to take him out to do his business, play with him, and he always feels accompanied. I live in an apartment with a garden where they can relieve themselves and a gated parking area, but I still prefer taking them to the park to walk and play.
“April was amazing! Super friendly, and Mabel was exhausted and had a blast. I knew Mabel had a great time because after I picked her up she went back to April for a few more cuddles. I will definitely let Mabel stay there again!”
About: A Lifelong Dog Lover — And It Shows Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and that deep bond shapes everything about how I care for them. I don’t just see walking a dog as a task — I see it as an adventure tailored to what dogs do best. Did you know that roughly a third of a dog’s brain is devoted entirely to smell? According to the AKC, dogs can detect scents at least 10,000 times better than we can. Every walk I take is designed to honor that — giving your pup the time and freedom to truly experience the world the way nature intended. What I Offer Whether it’s an hour-long nature hike on a wooded trail or a leisurely half-hour neighborhood stroll, I customize each outing to your dog’s energy level and needs. I’m experienced walking multiple dogs at once and genuinely enjoy the company. Your dog won’t just be exercised — they’ll be enriched. I’m also happy to reinforce whatever training methods you’ve already established at home, so there’s no confusion and no backsliding while you’re away. Consistency matters, and I take that seriously. For pet sitting, your dog becomes part of my home — well-loved, well-supervised, and never an afterthought. I’m available to take care of furry family members full-time. Dinner time I need to be home with my family, but I can accommodate early morning, all-day, and evening visits and walks. If boarding your dog with me, your dog will be at home with my dog, and will be able to enjoy our fully fenced back yard. Should you desire crating, we can do that, but we will also allow your dog to sleep on our bed if that’s what they prefer.
“Janelle is amazing, i got stuck without my dog care for me dog John late on a Sunday evening, I sent Janelle a request upon learning of my dilemma. Janelle responded and i was able to deliver John the next morning. My John loves Janelle and her family and looks forward to his stay with her. Janelle service is awesome and is the only person that I trust John with. Janelle is the best!”
“Such a sweet family - took great care of my pup, was super responsive and we had a meet and greet before. Their house is beautiful, with a huge fenced in yard which my pup loved- very well set up for doggies. They sent pictures and updates all day and really took care of her like their own family. Would highly recommend and definitely book with them again!”

“Priscilla saved the day accepting my request at very short notice. I had a 12 hour shift to work and no coverage for Louis. Additionally, I realized at the end of that 12 hour shift that I had no coverage for the next two days due (in no small part to a massive house move that had just occurred). Again, Priscilla came to the rescue and helped me for the next two days. She is a great communicator and a clearly dedicated professional.”
“Vanessa has been great for our high-energy puppy, Ladybird! With enthusiasm and patience, she tackles walks like a pro, clearly adoring dogs and taking time to connect with them. Vanessa goes above and beyond, keeping us updated with photos and continuous communication giving us total peace of mind. If you need top-notch dog care, look no further than Vanessa!”
“One of the best! Updated me the whole time my doggie was on a walk and came with last minute notice. Will definitely be booking more walks!! Muffin was satisfied 😇”
“I would 10/10 recommend Jillian. Our first time meeting she did awesome with my dog and her experience with dogs and training really shows. I’ve never seen my dog so responsive and attentive to commands or behaving properly before. If you ask for any tips Jillian has plenty of experience and showed me how to get the best out of my dog. After the walk, my dog plopped right down on the floor and got ready to nap. I definitely will use Jillian in the future for any dog care needs.”
“In my first experience entrusting Hannah with the care and walking of my dog, I have an English bulldog that necessitates a stroller cooling vest and hot pavement shoes. Consequently, a considerable amount of preparation is involved in walking my dog. Hannah effectively communicates with me and provided exceptional care for my dog, Venus.”
“Carla is very good with my shy golden retriever. I am very appreciative that she is walking with my dog. She is very friendly and easy to talk. Also she can control big dog well, too. I am definitely recommend her to take care dog.”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was 5. I have cared for neighborhood pets ranging from hamsters to cats/dogs as well as provided medical care to my own pet. I am currently a college student home for the summer and looking to fill time between my summer courses so I have a large availability with lots of flexibility and adaptability. I have very accessible transportation to commute to care for your pets and a knowledge of the area and safe environments to care for pets.
About: I provide loving, attentive pet care, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining routines, exercise, feeding schedules, individualized attention, and clear owner communication. (Bilingual) Habló español Pet care fits into my routine part-time and per diem, allowing me to dedicate quality time, flexibility, and focused attention to each pet without feeling rushed.

About: I have loved dogs and pets for as long as I can remember! Growing up, my home was always filled with multiple dogs, which taught me firsthand how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. When I left for college, I made the heartbreaking but responsible choice to rehome my dogs with amazing families. I knew that with my intense school schedule, I wouldn’t have the time, energy, or availability they truly deserved. To me, a pet's well-being always comes first. Now that my schedule is open and stable, I am eager to get back to working with animals! I am using this time to gain even more hands-on experience before I am ready to adopt a dog of my own again. By booking with me, your pet will get my full, undivided attention, lots of love, and the highest level of responsible care. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I recently graduated from college and have a few completely open months this summer before starting my full time career in September! Because of this, my schedule is incredibly open, flexible, and completely open for pet care. My personal daily routine revolves around fitness, going to the gym, and staying as active as possible. I absolutely love going on long, frequent walks, so looping your dog into my daily routine is a perfect match! Whether your dog needs high energy outdoor exercise, frequent potty breaks, or just consistent companionship throughout the day, I have the full time, energy, and capacity to dedicate to them. Your pet will be my top priority all summer long! Your pet will enjoy a safe, secure, and incredibly peaceful stay at my house! We have a completely fenced in yard with absolutely no other resident pets, giving your dog full reign of the space. There are also no neighboring dogs sharing our fence line, making it the perfect, stress free environment for pups who get easily anxious or reactive.I live with my mom and my 15 year old sister, both of whom love animals and will occasionally be around to offer extra head scratches and love. Because it is a calm, predictable household, your pet will get highly focused attention and a structured routine tailored exactly to their needs. When caring for your pet in your home, I treat your property with the utmost respect, care, and consideration. I am exceptionally neat, organized, and mindful of your space. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing that I will not only keep your pets happy and safe, but I will also make sure to leave your home cleaner and better than I found it.

About: I’ve been a dog walker in my local neighborhood since I was about 12! I’ve had experience walking small dogs and larger dogs. I also have experience taking care of cats, rabbits, and other small animals. I’m currently a student at Charter Oak State College. I have lots of free time, so I have no trouble fitting into your desired schedule! Since I live in a house currently, I have a completely fenced yard and live fairly close to a dog park! I also have senior dog experience, so I am used to administering medication as needed.
About: There’s never been a moment in my life where I wasn’t around a dog. I love dogs and treat them the way they deserve, like family. As a bartender I have a pretty flexible schedule. Mostly open during the day when people are at work I am home or running errands. I can give the care and attention your fur baby needs in your home or mine. 💗 I do have my own baby, but that doesn’t take away from how much love I can give yours. I can assure you my cat is shy but friendly and we will introduce them before any long or short term stay if you choose the option of pet care in my home.

“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
About: I have been working with, owning, and training dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 15 years. I’ve trained many dogs over the last 10 years and helped owners overcome a variety of issues they’ve encountered along the journey of ownership. Ever since I was little, I have loved animals, especially dogs! I believe that every dog is an individual, with their own personalities, likes, dislikes, and needs. I understand the importance of caring for each dog differently, and giving them what they need to feel loved. As a trainer, my philosophy is love and positive reinforcement only. I do not believe in dominance, aggression, or negative reinforcement in any way. I will work with your dog, even while sitting or walking, to help them grow and unlearn bad habits and learn new ones! Every dog deserves love and attention no matter what, and your dog will always feel special while in my care. My schedule is currently open, so I’ll be spending 100% of my time with your pups! As of right now, my home is open for boarding to any dog that needs to be cared for overnight or during the day. I am also available to stay at your home and babysit overnight, and am happy to watch more than one dog at a time if necessary. If you have a dog and cat at home that need sitting, that is fine as well. I am okay with having multiple dogs in my home as long as they are well-socialized and can handle being around other dogs. All bookings will be discussed in advance with the owners to determine each individual dog’s needs prior to arrival. Each pups temperament will be assessed and careful attention will be paid to the safety and well-being of every dog that stays in my home. I am open to drop-ins and walks at an owner’s home as my schedule permits, however, I do not currently own a car so the visits would have to be local. As noted in my bio, I have been a dog trainer and owner for over 15 years, and have experience with all types of dog breeds and temperaments. I understand how to communicate and handle dogs with poor temperaments and nasty habits. I do not believe in any type of negative reinforcement (i.e. yelling, hitting, shaming, isolating, dominating, crating as punishment, using choke or shock collars, and scaring a dog in any way to achieve training goals). If your pup is dog-aggressive (meaning he or she cannot be around other dogs at all), please let me know right away so I can make sure not to book any other dogs at the same time. If your dog is a puppy, let me know in advance as well, so I can make sure to book him or her alone or with dogs that are tolerant to puppy-behavior. I just moved into my apartment in Hartford on West Boulevard, which is completely gated with all entrances requiring a specific code to enter the premises. There is a dog-walking area with waste bags and some grass for the dogs to use when going outside. The complex is surrounded by suburban neighborhoods with ample sidewalks and places to take a dog on long walks if necessary. I am new to the area so I’m hoping to eventually find a good location to play fetch with the dogs or allow them to run around off leash. Potty breaks can be taken whenever necessary as the exit to my apartment is right down the hall and out the door. My apartment is a newly renovated, 1-bedroom apartment and is kept extremely clean at all times. I have no problem cleaning up after a dog if he or she makes a mess or has an accident, but please let me know if this will be a problem in advance and we will discuss how to handle it. If the accidents are often, I may request a small fee for regular or repeated cleanups, as they can cost money if real damage is done. Destructive chewers should come with something reliable to chew on and keep them busy. If your dog has separation anxiety, please let me know before booking so I can make the necessary accommodations. If your dog has any specific quirks or habits that are need to know, please be sure to inform me prior to booking so I can take care of your baby’s needs. Please bring anything that your dog would usually need on a daily basis, including toys, leashes, harnesses, waste bags, blankets, treats, and even a bed or crate if necessary. Your dog will be taken care of as if it were my own, I understand that your dog is like your child and is therefore a member of your family. As a dog-mom, I know how scary it can be to leave your baby with a stranger. I promise to make your pup feel at home and welcome at all times, and will do everything I can to make your baby comfortable and feel loved throughout their visit. You will see photos of me and my dog Cloud in my profile who is now 6 but is with his dad in Hamden at this time. I rescued him from Georgia after his pregnant mother was abandoned on the side of the road, and raised him since he was 6 months old.
“Noel and his family did a fantastic job with our puppy! They are well equipped and their our boy had a blast in their yard! Noel was amazing with sending updates and pictures. I would highly recommend!”
“Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!”
“We are so grateful for Christle! She went above and beyond taking care of Scooby and kept us updated throughout his stay. When our flight was delayed, she was incredibly kind and flexible about extending his stay. It’s such a relief knowing Scooby is in such loving hands. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Ifan was a fantastic dog sitter! He was very responsive and took great care of Roro. Roro had a wonderful time with him. I booked at the last minute, and Ifan responded immediately, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Ifan to others and will happily book with him again!”

“Zoe was caring and very responsible in caring for my cat. She provided regular updates (with videos and photos) and remained flexible in accommodating my needs as the 8 days I was gone was the longest I had left my cat at home. Will definitely rebook in the future and recommend her to friends!”
“We found Anita and her wonderful family through Rover, and we are beyond grateful for the love and care they provide our dogs. Donnie and Nora absolutely love staying with them, and it’s clear they feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Anita keeps us updated with frequent photos and messages, which gives us complete peace of mind every time we’re away. Her family is incredibly kind, and their two daughters adore our dogs—it’s so special knowing our pups are not just being watched, but genuinely loved. We never have a single worry when Donnie and Nora are with Anita, and that level of trust is priceless. We will absolutely continue booking with Anita and her family for all future needs. I highly recommend them and can say with complete confidence that your pet will be in the very best hands.”

How I Care for Pets in Your Home – With Safety, Trust, and Comfort at the Heart of It All When I care for your pets, whether I’m house sitting, walking them, or simply dropping in, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, personality, and needs — and I take the time to learn and follow your instructions closely to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and familiar. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship, always with an eye on their behavior and well-being. For drop-ins and walks, I show up reliably and treat your pet like my own — keeping them on safe routes, away from hazards, and paying close attention to their body language and comfort. I always prioritize secure leash handling, water breaks, and positive reinforcement. Your trust means everything to me, and I care for your pets and home with professionalism, love, and integrity.
“Ricky did a great job , got my boys back healthy and happy . He provided updates with pics and was really responsive. Trust that Ricky will take care of your pet . Will definitely have him look after my boys again.”
“Janelle is a wonderful pet sitter! She provides a safe and loving home for our pup when we travel! She sends pics and updates and gives us the peace of mind that our boy is in great hands!! Highly recommended!!”
“Great first experience! Thanks Wendy for being so responsive. Dog friendly home and yard. This was one of the first experiences our rescue dog had with another dog, and all went well. We will definitely book again!”
“Lisa was wonderful and communicative, and helped out in a clutch. She even sent pictures to update us while we were away. Chopper seemed to have a good time too. Would absolutely recommend!”
“I would not hesitate to use Maria again to watch our dog Jack. The pictures she sent showed him playing and his ears were up telling us that he was happy. She was very easy to work with and kept us updated on how he was doing. It was so easy and reassuring knowing that he was happy and playing and not in a kennel. He came home happy and tired and I think a little sad that he didn't have his friends to play with at home.”
“Trenton communication was above and beyond! He kept me up to date on how Abel was doing during his stay. He even went as far as getting Abel adjusted to other dogs!! This was more than helpful with Abel being young still. I highly recommend Trenton for upcoming and future stays!!”
