About: I had dogs throughout my childhood and now have a Labrador Retriever who I couldn’t imagine doing life without. Dogs are family, and I will make sure to give your dog the utmost attention and care and to your specifications. I continue to take my dog to training classes even as an adult dog, and see training as a way of communicating with your dog. I have learned a lot from many different trainers over the years which allows me to be a better caretaker for your dog too. Please reach out with any questions. I very much look forward to meeting your pup! I am currently working part-time so my schedule is flexible and I will have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pup. For overnight guests in our home, we own our home and have a fenced in yard (brand new and installed just for our dog). If the care is in your home, I will gladly follow any instructions you leave and accommodate your preferences and specifications in both caring for your home and your dog.

About: I have officially 2 years of dog sitting experience I would babysit one of my bosses dog and take her on walks along with keeping her company and happy. However when I was a kid I used to take my dog out on walks along with a few people in my neighborhood, I even tried making my own dog walking business at the age of 10 but that didn’t really work out well. I have a few cats at home so I’m perfectly fine with taking care of cats as well. I work part time at a daycare so my schedule really depends on what my schedule there looks like but I am more than happy to squeeze something in before or after my shift. I’m more than happy to play all day with dogs and cat or just keep them company while sitting inside or outside. I’m more than capable of going on long walks and if available I wouldn’t mind a good hike with your dogs as well :)

About: Hello Rover customers, I have taken care of pets since I was a child and have taken care of my family’s fur babies since my kids were small.

I have a fenced in yard for my animals if needed but I am very careful in customer’s homes and make sure to not leave without checking my surroundings first so no animals gets out the door.

About: I rescued my own dog from a shelter, and she required a lot of special training and patience. I worked with her on socialization, leash walking, and reducing pulling and barking around other dogs, and I have successfully helped her improve in all of these areas. Since she was a puppy when I adopted her, I also have experience with the patience, consistency, and care that younger dogs require. In addition, I care for a senior dog, so I am experienced in recognizing when a dog has reached their physical limit during walks and understanding how to adjust care based on their needs. Having experience with both younger and older dogs, as well as both large and small breeds, has taught me how to handle dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and training levels with confidence and care. I am currently in school but there are only three days a week I am completely booked with classes. My Mondays and Fridays and weekends are completely open and would love to spend my free time around more dogs! I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets while they are in my care. Since I live in an apartment, I make sure the space is pet-friendly, secure, and free of anything that could be harmful to animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety during walks, monitor pets closely around other animals, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I also provide updates and communication so owners feel reassured while their pets are in my care.

About: I currently work a 9-5, M-F but have flexibility early mornings, most nights, and weekends! I grew up with plenty of cats and dogs around me but it wasn’t until I worked at a doggy daycare that I truly realized my love for animals. There I learned dog body language, grooming techniques, best ways to give medications, and a little bit of training. I’d be honored to take care of your fur baby however you need! I work 9-5, M-F but I am happy to make time for you and your animal! Feel free to reach out to me so I can work with your schedule! I have a dog at home but I am happy to watch your pet at your home. I will ask for trigger words for your dog/cat, check in on feeding times to keep their schedule on, and ask for your preferences with your animal as everyone is different.

About: I have had dogs for my entire life and am great with all animals. Growing up I walked my two Boston Terriers on a daily basis and helped out with my family's dogs when they were out of town. Over my summer vacation from college, I will be working my other part-time job three days a week, most likely Monday-Wednesday from 2-5:30. Aside from that, I will use all of my free time to dog walk and pet sit. At my house, we have a fenced-in backyard to ensure that our dogs will never escape. Any time I walk my dogs, I walk them on a leash and ensure that they are close to me, and I have a strong hold on their leash. The same thing goes for when I am walking anyone else's dog. When walking dogs, I stay highly attentive to my surroundings and prioritize each pet’s safety and well-being at all times

Melanie was wonderful with our cat! Our cat automatically went right up to her, which is always a great sign. She followed all of our instructions carefully, was very accommodating, and communicated well throughout the process. Her rates were also very reasonable, and she was kind, reliable, and easy to work with. We felt comfortable knowing our cat was in good hands and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!

We had a great experience having Corbin watch our pets while we were away. We have multiple pets with varying feeding schedules and medications, and he handled everything so well, including watering my porch plants, such a relief! Very responsible and we can tell our dog had a great time with her new friend. Will definitely be using him again in the future.

About: Hi! My name is Marissa and I am a music education graduate student at Central Connecticut State University. I'm hoping to be an elementary school music teacher! I am currently a babysitter, piano teacher, and church organist with some extra time over the summer. I grew up in a home with 3 cats and have always wanted my own dog, but fortunately I have other dogs I take care of! I frequently dog sit for my boss at CCSU (a yellow lab and a catahoula mix) and am hoping to adopt my own husky soon. When I dog sit, I provide in home care and stay with the dogs so I can be there first thing in the morning to let them out. We go for many walks around the neighborhood or in the nearby park!

About: I have over 20 years of professional experience in animal care, including work in shelters, veterinary settings, daycare, grooming, and private pet sitting. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals in a variety of environments and understand how to keep pets safe, calm, and comfortable. My background includes administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness, conducting behavior assessments, supporting adoptions, and working closely with veterinarians and animal welfare teams. I’ve also provided private dog walking and in-home pet sitting since 2015. In my home, dogs receive attentive, calm care in a safe environment. I’m especially experienced with small, senior, and sensitive dogs, and I’m comfortable administering medications and helping nervous or shy pets feel secure. For dogs who enjoy it, I love taking them on long walks and nature hikes to provide both physical exercise and mental enrichment. As a long-time dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I provide thoughtful, individualized care, clear communication, and regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and boarding. I’m able to provide morning, midday, and evening care, including weekends. Because I spend most of my time at home caring for my own small dogs, I’m able to give visiting pets consistent attention, regular walks, and a calm, predictable routine. My home is calm, clean, and set up with pets’ safety and comfort in mind. I have extensive experience safely managing multiple animals and carefully supervising introductions when needed. Dogs can be separated into different areas of the home if necessary, and I am able to crate dogs safely if that is part of their normal routine. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs. My goal is to provide a secure, low-stress environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Camryn did an amazing job watching my dog, Kardi, over the weekend. She was very thorough, paid close attention to detail, and made sure everything was taken care of exactly how I asked. I was actually able to enjoy my vacation without worrying, which says a lot because I’m usually very anxious leaving my dog. Kardi clearly loved her, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I’m definitely looking forward to booking with her again and would highly recommend her.
