“Rachel did an amazing job with Finley. She was very responsive and made sure to ask questions to ensure he received the proper care while we were away. I accidentally sent her to our old address and she was very understand and still was willing to drive to our new address and take care of Finley. I will definitely be using Rachel in the future when our dog needs additional care!”

About: I have had dogs all my life, I am very well-versed in dog walking, feeding, and playing, and I have taken part in training all my family dogs. I have dog sat since I was a teen for a neighborhood Dalmatian growing up. I am loving and caring for dogs and cats. I have a 1-year-old wolfhound mutt who loves other dogs and people and loves play dates. I work in west Hartford so I can dog walk in that area T-F 3:45-4:45 Vernon areas T-F 4:45-7:45 pm Saturday and Sundays time are flexible I work full-time as a preschool teacher at the American School for the Deaf and am currently in my last year of grad school for my Special Education Master's. I live in Vernon with my fiancée and our son and dog. we are well versed in extra curricular for our son, taekwondo and swimming lessons but always have time to take our pup for a walk or to the dog park for some fetch. I am comfortable letting your dog in and out of the crate, taking them on walks, and taking them for a playdate with my dog if they are dog-friendly. there is a fenced in dog park in Vernon we can play at as well


7. Patricia M.

“Patricia has been wonderful to have walking the dogs. She has responded quickly to my requests and makes sure to understand what my girls need from her visits. Patricia has gone above and beyond on their walks, sends me lots of photos, and even refreshes their water bowl once they are back home. I know that my girls are well cared for and safe when they are with Patricia and I will definitely use her again in the future!”


8. Melissa L.


“Melissa took great care of our kitties! She kept us posted on them daily and spent lots of playtime with them. We would love to have her back again!”


9. Megan T.

“Megan’s descriptive updates and the work she did building rapport with our cats made us feel very comfortable with going on vacation and leaving our cats in her care. Will absolutely be asking for her time in the future if she’s available!”


10. Aidan C.
“We have used Aiden for many years to take care of our fur babies. Aiden is kind, reliable, trustworthy and interacts well with both of our dogs. He is always on time and has even spent several days with our dogs when we've been out of town. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to make sure their animals are well cared for and loved!”


11. Kristen L.

“My kitty cat loved Kristen and she was excellent! I would highly recommend her.”


12. Sandra D.

“The best help! We booked her last minute and Sandy responded right away and her communication was quick and helpful. Sandy sent us so many photos of her care time! She checked in timely and sent a very detailed report. Will absolutely book again!”




13. Annie D.
“Annie is a wonderful pet person. She has years of experience walking pets and sitting them in their owners’ homes. Animals love her and she loves animals. She is gentle and kind. She gives pets tons of attention and affection and when she is taking care of them she gets as much out of it as the pets do. I would trust her with any pet.”


14. Phi T.
“Phi has been taking care of my two dogs whenever I travel out of state. He’s reliable and attentive, always ensuring they’re well cared for. One of my dogs requires special facial cleaning, and he does a fantastic job keeping her nice and clean. I highly recommend him.”


15. Julia W.
“Julia has watched my dog Kili for as long as he's been alive (3 years). Having previous vet tech experience, I will always choose Julia over anyone else. Not only does she know how to adapt to my dogs needs, she loves animals first and foremost and it shows whenever she takes care of Kili. I have given her detailed rules and needs for my dog many times and she always follows them perfectly. I love that she also gives feedback on how my dog is doing both while I am away and when I return to him. Lastly, Kili is a Labrador that has high energy and needs lots of exercise so he's not anxious. Despite his large size, Julia is more than comfortable playing with Kili. Anytime I come home from vacation, he is knocked out on the couch for hours which makes me very happy. It is for these reasons that I strongly recommend Julia for any dog owner and can confidently say you will not be disappointed with her results.”


16. Kimber D.

“Very attentive, goes the extra mile for our puppy.”


17. Elena G.

“Elana was so good with our pups. She was so concerned when they weren’t eating as they usually do(they get streets out when we leave) sonshe reached out to problem solve with us. We will definitely be using her again!! We felt very comfortable knowing she was visiting our pups. She also sent lots of photos❤️”


18. Antonio S.
“I’ve seen firsthand how well Antonio cares for his two dogs — they’re happy, well-behaved, and clearly loved. It’s obvious he’s responsible, attentive, and truly cares about animals. I’d definitely trust him to care for my pets or walk my dog. He’s reliable, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can count on.”


19. Jennifer f.

“Jennifer was great! She dropped in on my Bella twice a day while I was away and took her for long walks each time. She was very responsive, always filled out a Rover card, and sent lots of photos. She even brought in my meal delivery box and put everything in the fridge when it arrived early. I would definitely hire her again!”


20. Valerie S.

“Valerie took wonderful care of my guy and I can’t wait to have her on a regular basis. Valerie’s communication, updates, and proactive helpful attitude are fantastic.”
