Cat Sitting in Ansonia

About: Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets. I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.

“Karina is excellent. She went above and beyond taking care of Nikki during the drop in visits. We will definitely use Karina again to care for Nikki the next time we travel. I strongly recommend Karina.”

About: Hi! My name is Katharine, and I’m currently a social work student working toward my bachelor’s degree with a passion for helping others, which includes animals! I’ve always loved being around pets and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and caring to look after them. I’ve owned my dog for the past 10 years, which has given me hands-on experience with daily pet care, routines, exercise, and providing lots of love and attention. I also regularly dog sit and cat sit for my neighbors, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m currently a college student out for the summer, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have open availability 7 days a week. I’m able to be flexible with walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime to meet each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and any house rules or routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision while keeping the home clean and respectful. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

“​I cannot recommend Leah highly enough! Leaving my cat, Bailey, is always stressful, but Leah made it completely worry-free. I received daily updates and the cutest photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that Bailey wasn't just being fed, but was actually getting genuine affection and he loved every minute of it. I came home to a very happy, relaxed cat. I’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Jessica did drop ins for our little kitten, Mipha, while we were gone for a few days. She took excellent care of her, played and gave her affection. Throughout the whole time we were gone she sent photos and gave helpful updates about how Mipha was during each drop in. She was great! We'll definitely select her again!”

Milton M.

“Above and beyond; sweet, kind, caring, professional and knowledgeable. Couldn't have taken better care of our cat and let us feel so at ease with her communications, photos and even checked in with a call when kitty decided to hide. Cannot recommend Leviena highly enough! Hope we are lucky enough to be able to book with her again in the future. Thanks Leviena!!!”

“Lola loves her visits from Cameron. It took no time for Lola to warm up to her the first day. Cameron is very friendly and made me feel comfortable right away. She’s had animals all her life and clearly understands dogs, and shared a lot of her knowledge. I’ve used her several times in our first week.”

About: I've grew up with dogs and have been responsible for taking care of them, including feeding, walking/running & playing/taking outside, bathing, and more. I have experience giving older dogs medicine, both orally and injections (especially insulin for diabetic dogs). One of my dogs developed hip dysplasia and cancer at her older age, so I am experienced with caring for senior dogs in need of extra attention. Additionally, I often pet sit for family and friends and am trusted to ensure not only their basic needs are met (clean water, food, bathroom breaks/walks), but also they receive attention and affection while their owners are away. I'm currently home for the summer as a college student and I'm unable to get a job with a set schedule because I have surgery coming up which takes a huge chunk out of my summer but I'm available for the entirety of June and first week of July. I can basically be free whenever needed, weekdays and weekends! Since I have cats at my house, I don't care for client's pets in my own home to minimize conflict. In clients homes I follow whatever rules laid out for their animals, ensuring they're fed at the proper intervals, always have clean water (and litter boxes if used). If applicable, I like to go outside with the pets to play with them and make sure they get needed stimulation. I take them on walks (and of course clean up after them), and runs when applicable. I also like to make sure the animals get lots affection (as long as approved by their owners) to make sure they're not lonely while away!

“Our two cats just had another incredible visit with their favorite sitter, Emily :) She is great at balancing playtime, cuddle sessions, and thorough care. Our two cats have gone through a range of various medical needs this summer and Emily has been fantastic at helping keep everyone happy and healthy while we've been away. We love having her as our sitter and can't recommend her highly enough!”

“Sarah is great!! She has been a life saver with helping train my 4month old husky and taking him out during the day!!”

“Katie is a kind sweet person who I trust to be in my home and to take care of my two precious fur babies. She arrived on time stayed the duration of the expected visit time and completed the tasks of which I requested upon scheduling this visit.”

About: I’ve been raised around dogs since I was an infant & they were puppies. Growing up, I was able to spend time & care for different types of dogs. I believe that with consistency, patience, and rewards (treats/toys), I would be able to train a puppy to do tricks & properly go to the potty! ☺️ I am a part-time healthcare worker that works 8 hours out of 3 days of the week, so with that being said, I would love to look after your pet on my days off! Your rules/requirements are mine as well. I’m not sure if anyone in my building is allergic to cats or dogs, but we could make some accommodations. If you would prefer care to be provided within your home, let’s discuss further on how you would like for me to look after your pet, and how to ensure that we are all comfortable and safe.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. I have fostered rescue puppies for five years now. I have also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for two years. I am just graduated from college so I am available throughout the week or weekends. I can start booking appointments after June 9th! This includes dog or cat pet sitting, dog walking, or overnights! I will come to your house to pet sit, dog walk, or stay for extended periods of time to ensure the happiness and safety for your pet. Whatever you and your pet need I will do. My utmost priority is your fur baby!

“Moe has been so great for my pups. She stops in to let them out and play with them while I’m at work. She’s very communicative about her schedule and I get picture every time!”

“Esmeralda was FANTASTIC. My husband and I were out of the country for 5 days and we were in need of care for our English bulldog and senior French bulldog. Esmeralda did an outstanding job of communicating, providing gentle care, timely visits multiple times a day, doling out medications, keeping the house clean, sending follow up photos and more. I will absolutely be booking her again and would recommend her to anyone who needs professional and compassionate care for their pets.”

About: I’m great with all kinds of dogs — active pups who love playtime outdoors and calm dogs who enjoy peaceful, relaxing moments. I adjust my care to fit their personality and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I am currently working full time Monday through Friday. Anytime outside of working hours I will be open and ready to provide care! Weekends and early morning I am also available. I keep each pet’s care as consistent as possible with their normal routine. I also make sure every dog gets extra attention so they always feel safe, happy, and comfortable.

“Sonya did a great job. Everything went exactly as planned. She was very pleasant and easy to work with. We will call her again when we need pet sitting.”

Rich M.

“Sonia helped us out when we needed someone at the last minute. Very professional, nice person, and great with our large dogs (Bernese Mountain Dogs). Would definitely book her again!”

About: Hi there! I’m so excited to meet you and your furry family member! I’m not just a dog sitter — I’m a true dog lover who believes dogs are family. They aren't "just pets" to me; they are loyal companions who deserve all the love, patience, and care we can give them. I live an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors, which means plenty of playtime, walks, and adventures for your pup! Whether it's tossing a ball in the backyard, going for a stroll, or simply having cozy cuddle time inside, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy every moment you're away. I provide potty breaks every two hours to make sure your dog stays comfortable and healthy. I also pay close attention to emotional needs — I understand how important it is for dogs to feel loved and secure when their people are away. Every tail wag, every happy bark, and every little paw print matters to me. When you trust me with your dog, you’re not just hiring a sitter — you’re finding someone who will love your dog like my own. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping you updated with lots of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my life because dogs are like family to me. I just finished college, so I have a completely open schedule and can dedicate my full attention, love, and energy to caring for your dog all week long. Their happiness and well-being will be my top priority every day. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a big house with plenty of space for them to feel comfortable and safe. While my backyard is large and open (unfenced), I always supervise outdoor time very closely to make sure your dog stays safe and happy. I love giving them plenty of playtime, attention, and a cozy, calm environment where they can feel completely at home. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow your routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. My goal is to make every dog feel loved, secure, and well-cared for, no matter where they are.

“Couldn’t ask for better. Highly recommend for your fur baby”
