Pet Sitting in Weatogue

“Katie was great! She provided very quick responses to any questions, and getting the pictures was nice. I also appreciated her willingness to take an extra step (feeding a fish!) after I did not bring it up when I first met with her.”

“Vanessa has been an amazing sitter. She goes above and beyond with taking care of my pets and offers a lot of peace of mind. She is very communicative and trustworthy. I highly recommend having her watch your pets.”

About: I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 16 years old. I have experience doing multiple overnight visits with both cats and dogs. I’m also confident handling energetic dogs on walks. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible, so I’m essentially available from Monday-Sunday. My neighborhood has a walking trail that leads into Stratton Brook Park so we can definitely go for some long walks if that’s what your dog requires. I’m a recent college graduate living at home with my parents. I work from home right now so my availability is pretty flexible. We have an unfenced yard but definitely big enough to roam around comfortably on an extended leash. I think on my profile it says no dogs allowed on furniture and beds, I don’t know how to change that but dogs are allowed on furniture in my house.

“Simply Awesome! Not every dog sitter is comfortable with taking care of a German Shepherd. Ai quickly bonded with Willow and has been a tremendous help. Willow gets a walk midday now when neither of us is home, and I love getting a photo after each visit. Punctual. Reliable. Professional.”

About: Pet care experience Thank you stopping to read my profile! My name is Ellen. I am a lifelong dog owner, Presently I have one dog Harry, who is a 10 year old Wheaten Terrier. I have three grown children, and have lived in my home for 35 years. Watching dogs has brought me a lot of happiness and I look forward to potentially meeting your pup. Above all, I value safety. I provide a safe, loving, and engaging environment for dogs of all ages. I have a large yard that backs up to a park and the walking trails, so you pup has plently of room to explore and play - perfect for dogs who enjoy regular walks and outdoor adventures! As a life long dog owner and dog lover I have experience caring for them at every stage of life—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I tailor each visit to your dog’s needs, whether they prefer active play or a more relaxed stay. I do have dog beds and bowls, but if your dog has a special bed, bowl, toy, that would make them feel more at home than please don’t hesitate to bring them along. Your dogs safety and happiness matters!! Every dog is unique, and I want to make sure yours feels safe and happy during their stay. Please let me know if your dog has any specific needs - such as dietary restrictions, separation anxiety, treat limitations, or known triggers- so I can provide the best care tailored to them. I offer: One-time drop-ins, recurring daycare and overnight stays. Whether your dog loves long walks or prefers quiet days, I’m here to make their time away from home as comfortable and joyful as possible. Pet care fits into my scheduyle as a non-negotiable daily routine that starts early to ensure your pet is fed, excercised and settled before I begin my day. I block 20-30 minutes each morning for a quick walk and play time. I have a trusted caregiver in the event of an emergency. Meet and greet introductions, emergency contacts, including veteranian and backup caregiver. My home is safe and secure from and toxic foods, I will provide gates if necessary, learn leash and harness preferences, feeding and medication schedules, routines, any protocols I need to be aware of for safety. Safe and happy place for your pup!

“Maria was wonderful...took great care of my cat. It was so nice to be away for a week and have the confidence that all was well at my house and with my cat. Signing up with Rover was super easy, the price is fair and I had excellent service. Extremely happy with Maria and my first Rover experience!”

About: I've always been told that I have great energy and bring a calming presence. I have cared for multiple dogs and cats of all ages my whole life. Because of my Marine Corps training, I am always prepared to handle any situation. I think quickly on my feet and stay aware of my surroundings at all times. I'm 6'5" but I'm not afraid to get on the ground to make the animal feel more comfortable. My connection to the present moment allows me to create a unique bond with every animal I meet. Whenever I walk or sit, the animal is my sole focus. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets on week days or weekends, day or night! I also know of many great dog friendly woodsy walks. Pets are safe with me! I stay in tune with their moods which allows me to meet their needs. I am very respectful of other people's homes, I treat it like it is a sacred space.

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have been pet sitting on the side for over 2 and a half years now! I mostly do overnights, making sure dogs are well taken care of and attended to. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I will be available almost every day, at any given time! Whether that’s a drop in visit or an overnight stay! I try to spend as much time as much time as I have with your dog to make sure they have been let out to go to the bathroom and exercise if needed!

“Pluto and Olive love Julia. We love her too!”

About: I was raised with dogs, having helped train my grandparents German Shepherds and walked my aunts rescue Pitties since I was 12. I've been my family and friends go-to pet sitters since 16. As a recent graduate, my schedule remains clear as I apply to jobs in my field. I actively fill this time with caring for pets of all kinds! I plan to continue sitting and caring for pets regardless of my future. All care instructions are followed to a T. Any questions or problems I have are quickly delivered to pet parents (though I try to ask all my questions before sitting starts.) I also have experience in cleaning fur baby caused messed of any kind on any surface?

“Shelby is fantastic with our dog and home. She’s a good communicator and we trust her. We always feel great leaving our home and puppy with her, because we know she takes great care. And our dog adores her!”

About: I’m a really active individual and love being outside as much as possible! I have dog sat for various families with varying ages of dogs. I have no pets, so my full attention is for your pet! I’m a grad student at UConn for physical therapy. I live at home, and my class schedule is very light this semester. I will be around most hours of the day to care for your pet. I have a decent sized yard for your pets to get running time. I go on walks on bike paths and hiking trails often, and I would love some company!
