About: I've been taking care of animals, including horses, since elementary school. I’ve had 3 cats, 4 horses, and 2 dogs throughout my life. I recently lost my dog to cancer, and I’m sure my kitty misses having his best friend around. So if your dog is cat-friendly, I would love to watch them! I currently work from home. Watching a dog for a day, multiple days or scheduling a break to come walk your dog would not be a problem. I’m located close to downtown Wallingford and there are great places to walk (especially with a dog!). I know how to care for all ages of dogs, including the elderly and I have experience giving medications. Requested information about your pet Please let me know the schedule of your fur baby - what time they get walked, what time they are fed, etc. I would like to have your fur baby keep to their schedule as much as possible. Also let me know any little tricks or specifics for your dogs, how long they like to walk, if they like to go out immediately after eating, etc. Please let me know the demeanor of your dog as well - are they aggressive? Get a long with other dogs/cats? Anything else! I want to make sure they receive the best care! :) Since I work from home, I am able to schedule breaks to take dogs out and go on longer walks (even hikes!). I can board in my house weekdays and weekends. I have a cat who misses his doggy sister, so he does well with dogs, but he rules the roost! I can crate dogs if needed. I also try to keep my house as non-toxic as possible (chemicals, cleaning supplies, etc) for the health of my pets.
“I had Sara come for a meet and greet and could see right away her love for animals. I booked her for drop in visits to take care of my two cats which are my babies. She was punctual, trustworthy, and of course, great with my cats. She played with them, sent me updates and of course pictures. I was able to enjoy my time away while I knew my cats were in great care. I will plan to use Sara again in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Dianna is friendly and was great with my pets. She kept me updated throughout her drop in visit and she was on time. She did everything asked of her and I will be rebooking with her.”
About: Hi there! I'm Jennifer, a dog and cat lover extraordinaire! Growing up in California, I've always had a furry friend by my side - and I'm not just talking about my four current pets at home. With a lifelong passion for animals and a knack for understanding their unique personalities, I'm excited to offer my services as a trusted dog walker and pet sitter. As a nursing student and part-time employee at Yale New Haven Health, I know how to balance my schedule and prioritize the needs of your fur babies. When I'm not at work or school, you can find me taking my own dogs on long walks or trying out new training techniques to help them (and you!) become the best versions of themselves. With extensive experience taking dogs through obedience training and a deep understanding of canine (and feline!) behavior, I'm confident in my ability to provide top-notch care for your pets. Whether you're away at work or on a quick getaway, I'm here to give your furry friends the love and attention they deserve. I also have lots of experience with senior pets and pets with special needs! My flexible schedule means I can accommodate a variety of requests - from a 30-minute walk to a full-day playdate. So why not give me a try? Let's get your pets the exercise and affection they need, and give you peace of mind while you're away. Currently, I only work on the weekends so I am available Monday through Friday almost anytime. And the things that I have scheduled can be very flexible so just let me know what you need. I can spend as much time with your pet as you would like. If you would like me to play with your pet in your yard or your home, I’m happy to do that or I can take your baby on long walks or to the dog park. You’re the boss! You tell me what you need and I’d be happy to do that.
“Camryn was great. She handled our three dogs very well and kept us very well-informed, and was able to stop in on very short notice. The dogs loved her, and even one of our skittish cats came to say hello. Thanks, Camryn!”
“Tarah was sooo amazing with my cat, Mao Mao! My husband and I went away for 2 weeks on our honeymoon, which is the longest we've been away before so I was worried leaving her that long. But Tarah eased every single worry I had! She gave amazing updates and pictures of Mao Mao while we were gone, made sure her litter boxes were clean, her food bowl was filled, and that she got lots of love and pets while we were away! She was so responsive and easy to get ahold of and really went above and beyond for us! I would 100% book with Tarah again for any trip we take in the future!”
About: I worked for The FurKid company in New York City. There, I walked dogs, as well as provided overnight care for dogs and cats, which includes administering medication to the animals. I'm a teacher, so I am mostly available outside of the 7:30PM to 3:30PM window. I pour a lot of love into the animals I care for, no matter how much time I have with them! I have no pets of my own, so will be able to put all of my energy into yours! I unfortunately don't have a yard, but there is plenty of green space and a dog park in my apartment complex.
About: I love spending time with all types of dogs- big, small, old, young, lazy, energetic and everything in between. I recently moved back to Connecticut from Colorado and now have a more flexible job that allows me the opportunity to dog sit again. In the past, I’ve cared for dogs for Rover clients as well as friends’ and family members’ pets, and I’m comfortable walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medications as needed. I also love being outdoors and am happy to take your dog on walks or hikes if that’s something you’d like. I have experience training dogs, including my own two, and I understand how important it is to follow your dog’s routine and your expectations. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I am open to working with you to make a schedule that works for both your dog's needs and my work schedule. I work Monday-Friday, with a flexible hour break for going to check on your pet midday if needed. My weekends would be planned to meet the needs of your pet, so you could enjoy your time away with our worry! ’m currently open to caring for pets in both my home and my client’s home. My house is dog-friendly, with an unfenced backyard, and I always prioritize safety and supervision when outside. I do my best to keep each pet comfortable by maintaining their usual routines as closely as possible, while also offering opportunities for enrichment based on their personality and comfort level-whether that’s a walk, hike, visit to a family member’s home, or simply relaxing in a calm environment. I’m very mindful of each pet’s needs and cues, and I’m just as happy giving them space if that’s what helps them feel most at ease. When staying in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of your space and preferences, aiming to keep your pet’s routine consistent while caring for your home with the same level of attention and respect.
About: Hi! I’m a pet sitter with 3 years of experience as an emergency vet tech and a lifelong animal lover.

Also, I have a cat of my own who inspires me to give every pet the same love and attention I give at home. With 1 year of pet sitting experience, I provide reliable, compassionate, and knowledgeable care you can trust. I currently work part time so I am very flexible. I am driven to keep your pets comfy and happy. I will work with you on your schedule. I have a backyard and a safe friendly neighborhood to take your animals on walks.

“Hailey was amazing! Left us so much peace of mind while gone for the week. She sent plenty of picture and videos, kept everything neat and tidy, and provided daily updates. We will definitely be asking Hailey to watch our kitty again next time we’re out of town!”
“Julie was great! She took wonderful care of my cat and completely won him over (which is tough to do). I would definitely recommend her to other pet parents looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Mary was amazing with my two goldens. They’re both very energetic and strong pullers on the leash and Mary was able to wrangle them no problem! She came over to meet the pups before hand and was so sweet to my dogs and to us. Send me photos every walk and give a full report back about everything the pups did! We all felt very comfortable with her off the bat as well. I would definitely have Mary back to care for our pups and recommend her to you 10/10!”
“Kenzie was amazing! My oldest cat had been recently diagnosed with IBD and is on daily medication. To say he isn’t the easiest to pill is an understatement. Kenzie was able to give him his medication without fail and really eased my anxiety about being away! I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“I had just moved to Cheshire, CT and needed to find a cat babysitter quickly. I am so lucky to have found Christine online. From the moment I met her, I knew I did not have to worry about my 2 cats. She is the sweetest and most caring person you could ask for and her love for pets comes through. I have found a car sitter for whenever I travel in the future.”

Wallingford cat parents share their Rover experiences
Elizabeth was an outstanding sitter. She paid attention to detail, and her communication was excellent. It can be nerve-wracking to leave a pet with sitters, but Elizabeth's sweet demeanor helped my usually shy cat warm up to her quickly. I would definitely book her again!
Tracy is great! She has dropped in on our two cats multiple times and is great at following instructions, checking for changes in their routines, and providing great pictures and updates to keep us connected while we're gone. She clearly likes spending time with the animals and cares about making them comfortable and happy.
Emese has been a terrific friend to our older, shy and deaf cat. He tends to be very cautious around people and generally hides, but he clearly feels safe around Emese. We have appreciated the photos she has sent of our senior cat lounging in his favorite spot and posing for her. Thank you, Emese!
