This was our first time leaving our elderly dog Marley, with Katie. She immediately was reassuring and eased our minds with his care. Katie is very conscientious, attentive, caring and loving! Communication was outstanding and kept us updated with pictures, texts or phone calls of his activity or any concerns she had with his care. We have no reservations to have Katie care for Marley in the future! Thank you Katie! 🐶💗

Derek did a very good job with his care of Bonkers. He gave detailed information of her eating at every meal and made sure she ate a little bit each time. My only criticism was that he was supposed to give a portion of 2 types of food for each meal, but only gave the the food she doesn’t like as much. Even so, it appears she did as well as could be expected during my absence.

About: I've had dogs throughout my adult life and regularly care for a friend's three cats, so I'm no stranger to a variety of pet personalities! While I’m currently pet-free, I’d love the opportunity to care for yours. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow your instructions closely to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I exclusively house sit in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings. Whether your pet enjoys long walks or prefers lounging on the couch all day, I’m happy to match their energy. I have a special place in my heart for senior pets and bring a calm, patient presence to ensure they get the gentle care they need. I’m likely the best fit for your weekend getaways, as I work a 9–5 job outside the home on weekdays. That said, if your pet is comfortable being alone during the day — or if you're located near my workplace in Willimantic — I would be able to swing by for lunch-time drop-ins. Outside of work hours, you can count on me to spend plenty of quality time at home with your pet. I understand how important it is for your pet to receive the same level of care they get from you. I take note of all the details you share — from feeding routines and approved treats to medication schedules and special instructions. I believe this: your pets, your home, your rules. During our initial meet-and-greet, I’ll likely ask plenty of questions to make sure I have everything I need to provide the best care possible.

Bekka watched my two cats while I was away. One of my cats has some separation anxiety, but thanks to Bekka when I returned he seemed such calmer and happier than he usually does when I go away. She took great care of both cats. I highly recommend Bekka as a pet sitter!

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends, neighbors and family members since I was 10. I have potty trained and taught basic commands to my dogs, fed and cared for cats, guinea pigs and ball pythons. Pets are part of the family and should get high quality care regardless of their owners scheduling requirements. I'm working part time over the summer and looking to have pets to care for in my spare time. My availability is pretty open with the exception of 9am to 12pm Monday through Thursday in July. I would love to play with your pets, bring them for walks, provide food, water, love and attention. I genuinely care for all animals and would love to get to spend time with your pet.

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a lifelong dog lover and dedicated dog trainer with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From cuddly couch potatoes to high-energy working breeds, I’ve built a strong understanding of canine behavior—and I absolutely love what I do. I offer dog boarding, doggy daycare, drop-in visits, and dog walks, with flexible availability to fit your schedule. Whether your pup needs a fun-filled day of play or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. My walks may be priced a bit higher, but they come with added value: if you’d like, I’ll incorporate leash manners and basic obedience training into the walk at no extra cost. It’s a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically engaged while reinforcing positive behavior. My doggy daycare service is perfect for busy pet parents who want their dogs to enjoy a full day of enrichment and social time in a safe environment. I offer transportation for daycare (and overnight boarding) within a reasonable distance in my dedicated van, which is equipped with secure crates for safe and comfortable travel. Your dog will have access to a full acre of securely fenced yard to run, play, and explore—plus a dog-friendly pool to cool off in during hot days! To ensure a safe and structured environment, all dogs will be crate rotated throughout the day. Crate rotation provides dogs with the rest and structure they need while preventing overstimulation and helping maintain a peaceful group dynamic. Safety is always my number one priority! I’ve previously worked in an animal hospital, so I’m also experienced in administering medications and providing attentive care for dogs with special health needs. Whether it’s pills, or a customized care routine, I make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for. Right now, I’m in the exciting process of growing my dog boarding and training business full-time. I’ve completely finished and transformed my basement into a dedicated board-and-train facility to provide a safe, clean, and enriching environment for every dog that stays with me. I’m currently working on obtaining all the proper licensing to operate at the highest professional standard. For now we’re going through Rover! For everyone’s safety, all dogs staying overnight will be crated during sleeping hours and when unsupervised. This helps ensure the well-being of your pup as well as the safety of other dogs in my care. Each crate setup is comfortable and designed to help your dog feel secure and relaxed. I bring energy and enthusiasm to every interaction—whether I’m caring for a laid-back senior dog or working with a high-drive sport dog. I also compete in dog sports with my own dogs, so I’m extremely comfortable handling all energy levels. While I’m not yet a certified dog trainer, I’m actively working toward professional dog training credentials to continue growing my knowledge and giving each dog the best care possible. I use only positive, reward-based training methods that help dogs feel safe, confident, and loved. If you’re looking for someone who brings both experience and heart to every visit, walk, or overnight stay, I’d love to meet you and your pup. I truly can’t wait to meet my new clients—both human and canine—and welcome every dog into my care as if they were my own. Your pup will be treated like family every step of the way!! Positive Puppy Training Sessions 🐾 I offer private, positive-based puppy training sessions designed to help your pup build confidence, learn good manners, and strengthen their bond with you. • Single Session: $90 • Training Bundle: $80/session (4 sessions total – 1 session a week for a month) The bundle covers all the puppy basics: ✅ Recall (coming when called) ✅ Sit, Stay, and Down ✅ Leash Manners ✅ Handling Puppy Biting Every session is fun, personalized, and focused on setting you and your puppy up for long-term success. ✨ Free consultations available! I’m happy to chat with you beforehand to see how I can best support you and your pup. Taking care of pets is what I do every day—it’s the heart of my business. I offer full-time boarding, daycare, and training from my home, which is set up just for dogs. Every day is planned around keeping dogs safe, happy, and engaged, making sure each one gets the attention and care they deserve. At my home, dogs enjoy a safe, structured environment with crate rotation, a fenced acre to run, and a pool to cool off. I treat every dog like my own, keeping things fun but safe. For drop-ins and walks, I follow any care instructions closely and can include basic training or medication if needed. Your dog’s safety and happiness always come first!

About: I’m passionate about helping dogs and their owners. I’ve worked with several rescue dogs and understand the special care and attention they need. I recently had my own personal foster pup find her forever home!! Now, I have the time to assist other dog owners with walks and daily routines. Whether you have a busy schedule or just need an extra hand, I’d love to help keep your dog happy and active. Let’s connect to discuss how I can support your pup’s needs! I have a masters degree in social work and work in an elementary school! I love working with kids and giving back to communities. Although, that does make me unavailable for the furry friends until 4/5 pm M-F (depending on your location). I have full availability on the weekends. I can do mornings M-F depending on your location and time. Please message me with any questions or concerns. I am flexible and happy to work collaboratively to figure something out! I always keep the safety of your pet as my top priority, making sure they’re secure and comfortable at all times. 🐾 I also believe in giving each animal an active and fun experience, whether it’s through exciting walks, playtime, or adventures that keep them engaged and happy! 🐕💨 Whatever you might or might not be comfortable with, please communicate that with me! . I am flexible and happy to work collaboratively to figure something out!

About: When I was 8 years old, I walked around my neighborhood slipping flyers for my pet-sitting business into every mailbox I could find. Fifteen years later, that same drive—and love for animals—still fuels me. I’ve cared for everything from puppies and kitties to senior cats and dogs, and I always bring patience, attention, and genuine affection to every pet I meet! I have two cats of my own and am awoken each morning by a chatty or snuggly friend. I feed them twice a day and let them roam in the afternoon outside. When they come in for the night they come up to bed with me and I can’t think of a better way to end my day! I understand that a lot of animals can be timid or shy, so I always let them approach me before petting or touching them. If I’m walking a dog then I will make sure that I have everything I need and that they need (poop bags, water, treats if it’s a hike) before we embark on our journey. If I’m in a home with a cat that is shy but friendly I will usually lower myself to the ground and let them smell me and decide how they feel about me. I like to listen to music with my animals and we play with toys and outside often.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or a quiet walk, I’m fully present and genuinely enjoy every moment I spend with them. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. Pet care routine fits perfectly in my recent schedule, since Im working on my own business and trying to work as a photographer. My schedule is pretty open for now. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety and comfort always come first. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with lots of cozy spots and zero hazards. I follow all your instructions carefully—from feeding and medication to routines and house rules—because consistency helps pets feel secure. I also give regular updates with photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Your trust means everything to me, and I treat every pet like family.

She is organized, clean, responsible and fun. She also takes fantastic care of my mother’s two very needy dogs when she travels. I can’t recommend her enough.

Tiffany's attention to detail assures me that Kooshina will be well cared for when I'm gone for a night or two, or more. She really connects with my cat, and not only feeds her as directed, and cleans her litter box, but she'll spend quality time playing with her, interacting or just being. She sends pictures and shares their adventures! My plants even get attention and water, when she cat-sits! As a dog and cat, and turtle and fish parent, Tiffany knows how to talk to the animals! Her kindness and genuine love for animals shows up for the assignment.

He takes good care of his own dogs and will certainly do the same for yours!

Every day is planned around keeping dogs safe, happy, and engaged, making sure each one gets the attention and care they deserve. At my home, dogs enjoy a safe, structured environment with crate rotation, a fenced acre to run, and a pool to cool off. I treat every dog like my own, keeping things fun but safe. For drop-ins and walks, I follow any care instructions closely and can include basic training or medication if needed. Your dog’s safety and happiness always come first!

Karina has a deep love and care for animals. She is an exceptional cat mom and was a dedicated foster dog mom. Her compassionate, responsible, and gentle nature makes her incredible with animals. She thoroughly enjoyed taking our foster dog on walks and was passionate about training, always eager to teach new tricks.

About: My family has always had pets. In my adulthood, I have owned and trained a yellow lab and chocolate lab and currently have a black lab named Kingston. He is my best friend and his amazing. We also have a tabby cat named Biggie Smalls. He is very sweet. I am looking forward to the opportunity to spending time with your amazing pet friends and caring for them as if they’re my own. I am a 20 year teacher with the summers off and I’m available six days a week. I spend my summer months catching up on yardwork and vacationing with my family and can be available to assist in times of need for your pets. I can be available to care for your pets both at your home and take them for walks when needed. I am flexible with requests.

Julia is a very responsible individual. She stayed at my house for a week and took care of my Dog, Miley and my cat, Scout. She is a loving pet caregiver and she even water my plants, took care of the pool, and took in our mail. I’d highly recommend Julia to watch your pets.

I’m writing this letter with zero hesitation (and a small army of furry friends cheering me on) to recommend Olena for any pet-sitting, animal-watching, or general creature-loving role. I was lucky enough to be both a customer and a witness to her incredible ability to bond with animals. She cared for my cat while I was away, and the experience was seamless. She was attentive, respectful of the space, and followed every instruction I left. My cat was calm and well looked after when I returned, which speaks volumes about her presence and the way animals respond to her. On top of her animal care skills, she’s a gifted photographer. She took a photo set of me and my cat that I genuinely treasure. Pictures came out absolutely incredible! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and capable, I definetelly recommend Olena. Your pets will be in excellent hands.

Katelyn did a great job with our dogs and put our minds at complete ease while we were away. She’s super adaptive - was able to figure out exactly what our dogs needed without having much explained to her. We came home to two very happy and well taken care of boys.

About: I have 4 dogs and 4 cats, ranging in age from 1 to 15! I also have two horses (both mares, 4 and 23). I’ve owned dogs and cats all my life. I work from home from 8-5, and am available for pet care before work, at lunchtime, and after work. My work is very flexible and supportive. I have a yard with a pool for the dogs (and humans) with a thicker liner and special filtration system for dog fur. I have an electronic fence and extra collars. Special needs dogs are ok - I have a very old dog (15) and am used to geriatric dog care. I also care for cats and have 4 cats of my own

About: I have had a love for animal my whole life. I have had the opportunity to take of my friend's dogs. I would pet sit for my mother's dogs for years and gained lots of experience. I currently own a 2 year old, spade, Golden Doodle named Yumi with my girlfriend. I'm in-between jobs at the moment, so I will have plenty of time to care and play with your pups. My schedule is completely open. I usually walk my dog every 3-4 hours. There is plenty of yard space for play outside. Usually feeding is 2 times a day unless otherwise specified by the owner
