About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine love for dogs of all ages. I worked at a dog kennel for two years, where I cared for dogs with all kinds of temperaments, ages, and needs. I’m experienced with senior dog care and I’m comfortable with puppies too—whether it’s crate training, potty breaks, or just keeping up with their energy! Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine since I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I’m most available Tuesday through Friday between 11:30 AM and 4:30 PM, which works great for midday walks or drop ins. That said, I’m always happy to discuss and make arrangements that work best for you and your pet! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to make sure they feel secure and loved. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow any instructions you provide whether that’s feeding schedules or favorite toys. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away.

“Jesse was fantastic! He was communicative and took great care of my pittie! He send pictures and was trustworthy while in my home and respectful of my property. I would absolutely hire him again!”


About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. My current hours are 6:30am-3pm, so I make a point to be available in the morning before I leave for work, and then after I return from work. This also applies to drop-ins. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.

About: I lost my soul mate, Bailey, on October 18th, 2019. I rescued Bailey from Cocker Spaniel Rescue of New England 7 years ago after losing two other rescued cocker spaniels from the local pound within a month from each other. I was devastated and Bailey rescued me! Losing Bailey, who truly was a one of a kind, reminded me of how deafeningly quiet my house is again without him there, as I have no other pets in my house. I felt something good needed to come of Bailey’s passing. As a result, I decided to honor Bailey’s memory by giving all proceeds I make through Rover for pet care services to animal rescues/shelters to help more dogs in desperate need of care! So...bring on the requests...there are many, many, many animals that need our help! I have volunteered at local animal shelters/rescues and participate in fundraising activities during the year to support these organizations. Throughout the years, I have rescued and cared for several animals with emotional, behavioral and medical issues who had become integral members of my family. I have been a Registered Nurse for 13 years, can handle day to day routines and any emergencies that may arise to provide the best overall care for your pet. I will treat your pet like it is a family member of mine while you are away! I will be the only person caring for your pet so it will get one on one individualized care. Your family member will be in good hands while you are away reducing your stress and anxiety. I know how important that is as a pet owner! I only provide care to one pet at a time in my home unless the pets are within the same family (ie. siblings). Regular updates will be provided via electronic means agreed upon (ie. text, emails, fb msgr). I am really excited to join you in this journey and look forward to working with you and your furry family member! Let’s save lives together!

About: I’ve always had a passion for animals which brought me into the veterinary field 12 years ago as a kennel attendant, I loved the job however I didn’t feel all the animals boarding were always getting one on one attention. Over the last 12 years I’ve gone to school and graduated as a Veterinary Assistant/Veterinary Technician, currently in school for my B.A in Veterinary Technology. Taking care of animals is truly my passion whether it be in my hospital, at home or for family and friends, all pets truly get treated as if they were my own. It truly gives me joy knowing I’ve made a small difference. With all that has been stated above I do have a full time job as a ER/ICU Veterinary Nurse. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile and the best of luck in your search for the perfect pet sitter My current ER work schedule is Mon-Wed 8am to 6pm and every other Sunday 8am to 4pm. I do have hour lunches if needed. Also I will add since making my profile active again, I am a single mother to a adorable 14 month old little boy. So with that being said I would only be able to book house sittings when he is with his dad. ALL pets in my care are treated like my own. ALL animals in my care are always treated with respect, love and most importantly compassion

About: Hello friends! My name is Londiwe I'm 19f I recently graduated high school and am excited to embark on a career in pet care. I love both dogs and cats! I'm experienced with taking care of cats, I had a cat for 4 years so i'm familiar with cleaning the litter box, feeding, washing, and playing with cats. As for dogs i'm familiar with them in the sense of being around them through friends/family and I adore dogs. When I was really young i would go to a pet store where you could see or play with puppies and I loved it. I'm aware also with dogs that if I were to pet sit I would have to make sure they're taken care of like: fed, played with, and in their cage whenever the client says they're suppose to be. I also provide unlimited cuddles/pets/love for both dogs and cats. :) I'm currently free to dog walk or petsit any day of the week and if not then I would most certainly let the client know beforehand and try to be flexible with my schedule. The services I offer are dog walking and pet sitting in the clients home. I currently don't have any pets but if I were to, I would feed and play with the dog or cat in question and clean up after any mess they may make and basically treat them as family.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life from Rottweilers to mastiffs. I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years, and am comfortable with all breeds, ages, and sizes. I have done basic training with my own puppies, and even adult dogs. I can offer a calm and confident presence, I have flexible availability, and am a great communicator. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with you! I currently work 3 days a week, with flexible in office days. My work is done from home most of the time and I am available most days. I can offer a calm and loving environment. I enjoy walking and playing with my dogs, and can give a clean and safe space for them. I follow directions, and am respectful should I enter someone else’s home. I can follow routine, but also am flexible where it is needed. I can happily take on each pets individual needs.

About: Hi, I'm Rusty! I've spent my entire life caring for dogs and truly believe that pets are family, deserving only the best walks and care. With experience handling a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and needs, I’m ready to offer your dog the attention they deserve. As a recent retiree, I now have the time and passion to help your pups live their best life! 🐶 I have recently retired, so I have a very flexible schedule! I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekdays between 8:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. I treat dogs with the same love and care as any family member. Each day, I ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Whether it's a morning walk or playtime in the yard, I make sure they’re always happy and comfortable. I am attentive to their individual needs, providing them with a routine that keeps them healthy and active. I also make sure the dogs have fresh water at every visit. Above all, I believe in building a strong bond based on trust, love, and mutual respect, making sure they feel safe and loved every single day.

“My German Shepherd puppy Bianca and Angela got along very well. They spent the six days together, one hour per day, walking and playing in the dog park. I felt confident in Angela after our initial meeting at my house. We spent about 20 minutes getting to know each other. Afterwards, my puppy Bianca and Angela spent some time outside, and that's when I knew this was a wonderful match. I trust Angela with my dog, and I'd recommend her to any dog owner who wants outstanding services.”


About: Throughout my years in high school I was a caretaker of 3 dogs and 2 cats after school everyday of the week. I grew to care and love these pets like they were my own. I had so much fun taking them outside for their daily walks and playing catch around the yard, it was the best job I have ever had because it was loads of fun! Unfortunately, I had to retire my pet sitting job when I went to college back in 2012. Now I work from home and would love to start pet sitting again. I live in a house with a big backyard so it is the perfect place to play catch with them and I live in a residential area that loops around perfect to go for a nice walk too! I am available to start immediately and I am available every day of the week. Looking forward to hearing from you! I work from home so I am able to be home to watch, take them out and play with them most of the day. I work from 3-9pm but have several breaks in between. My yard is partially fenced in but I take safety very seriously when it comes to my own dog, so I will be just as safe with yours as well!

About: As someone who has taken care of animals for almost two decades, I've seen it all. From aggressive pets, to escapists, to pets with serious health problems. But even with those hardships I've managed to get through for those dogs and their owners. I've met some very amazing animals throughout my years, and everytime they can't get enough of me, I'm basically the Pet Whisper. And I'm always able to complete the checklist, feed, walk, take them to their appointments, and so on. My clients have been able to trust me, I'm a hard worker who doesn't give up, who goes above and beyond to make my clients proud and their pets happy. I'm currently employed as a Sales Associate at Ocean State. My hours vary quite a bit, but normally I work up to 3 weekdays and both weekends, sometimes only one of them. My hours can be from 7-1 to 11 or 1-7:30 Currently I have a dog and cat. My cat stays in my room while my dog is allowed in our stairway, hallway, living room, dining room and kitchen. My cat gets along with all cats, but is very finicky around other dogs, even my own. They are both separated by a gate, so there's no fear of them ever interacting as my dog loves trying to chase her if he ever gets the chance. My dog gets along with most dogs regardless of size but, he'll always be egging them on to play haha. My house isn't entirely large but it's enough for your pet to move around, play, and relax. My complex is very large and a great walking area for your pet. There's also a dog park right around the street that's a wonderful place for your dog to socialize. And, next to that park is a large trail that's perfect for walking. If your dog likes the beach, there's plenty of them in my vicinity.

West Torrington dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jesse is the best! Upon meeting Jesse I was immediately confident that he would handle my 9 year old lab with the utmost care. After a session with Jesse my dog is always happy, smiling and exhausted. Always love the pics and messages afterwards. I would highly recommend Jesse to anyone!

Jesse was great with Oscar! They hit it off from the meet and greet and Jesse even recommended a new harness to help keep Oscar from pulling. We came home to a happy dog and Jesse even brought in some packages for us. He sent great pictures and video and kept us updated about how Oscar was doing.
