“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!”
“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!”
“Eve was amazing when she looked after my cat! Prior to the session, she asked questions and made notes to ensure she didn’t forget anything. During my time away, she took great care of Grace - doing everything I asked and sending lots of photos/videos. Absolutely would book with her again!”
“My husband was away for business and I had to work during the day. When original sitter plans fell through, Melissa was willing to help and she was AMAZING! She was respectful of the house, removed her shoes and went above and beyond while she was checked in on our puppy. She took outside for bathroom breaks and played with Hope for the remaining time. She even changed her water. Her notes were so fun to read and we enjoyed the photos she shared. Melissa is reliable and trustworthy. Thank you!”

About: I have always been surrounded by pets; enjoy giving plenty of attention; and have cared for their well-being (bathing, administering medications, monitoring recuperations after illness/surgery). I work full-time (leave home at 7:30 a.m. and I am home by 4:30 p.m.) and have my evenings and weekends free. I am available for check-ins, walks, and stays. Your companion would be cared for by keeping to his/her routine/schedule, keeping them safe, following any additional instructions, and giving them lots of attention and playtime.
“Amber did an awesome job house sitting for our cats and fish. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well fed and happy. We can’t recommend her enough!!! She’s the best!”
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
“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!”
“My kitty cat loved Kristen and she was excellent! I would highly recommend her.”
About: Hi! My name is Annie, I am a 27 year old living in connecticut and have extensive dog care experience. Through the Wag! app I walked over 250 dogs and had an average rating of 5 stars and many repeat clients - I started this during college when I was living in New Haven and continued through moving up to Hartford afterwards! I would like to extend my services, experience, and love for pups through this website/app with a better platform and communication abilities to provide excellent dog care that goes above and beyond your expectations! I can do walks and have a very flexible schedule, usually working for short shifts on the weekends. I've dealt with distracted puppies, laxidaisical seniors, and the slobbery, talkative, or chewy in between. Please contact me with any questions :-) I work part time at a museum in Hartford, so I have a generous amount of time during the week & weekend to give attention to your special friends. I drive throughout CT easily for drop ins and love to have my week made better with a furry friend :-) In my own home I have a fence, baby gates for any areas they can’t go (usually agreed upon after meet&greet) and love to give out treats if there are no medical issues that change diet! I prefer drop ins and sitting and love to adapt to your dogs schedule and playtime :) if they get their walkies daily we can do that, or playtime if you’ve got a sweet fenced in situation! Upon meeting up with people I love getting a feel for their dogs level of need & what they love about their home so I can keep that up for you while you need it.
