Tyler was kind enough to walk Milo for me on Thanksgiving. Milo was very happy to go with Tyler and was not stressed out when I got home. Tyler was very kind to Milo and I will definitely use him again.

About: Newly moved to Simsbury! I grew up working closely with a rescue in the Carolinas, so I've spent pretty much my whole life caring for pups of all kinds! From the energetic puppies who trip over their own ears (and may not be totally potty trained yet) to the sassy seniors who just want to chill and may need a little extra TLC, I believe all of our furry friends deserve the same level of love and care. I know we all wish we could just stay home with them every day, but for those who can't I'm here to help! I'll take care of any ear scritches, walkies and treatos your pup needs to be happy and healthy when you get back! I work weekends, which leaves me free to care for your furry friends while you do your obligatory "9-5" during the school day. Just don't tell my dogs I'm petting your dogs! Whether we are hanging out in your back yard or walking to a local park, I'll make sure your pup gets all of the attention and care needed.

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and always will be. Animals are my passion and love to help them out whenever I can. I have been walking dogs since the age of 15. I also love to jog and bike ride with dogs. I always make sure to carry toys and treats with me to make the dog's experience just as enjoyable! I currently have two dogs of my own around 60 lbs each. One of my dogs is a high anxiety, high energy pup. Working with her has been a challenge but has only furthered my love and knowledge for dogs. If you have any questions please message me anytime! I am available when you are. I own two dogs of my own as well as a ferret. Pet care is part of my routine every day, all day. Pets are a full time job and I enjoy the work. I currently work full time from home but will be able to accommodate your pet needs.

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember and always have gravitated towards animals since I was a child. I have the most experience with dogs (from dachshunds to labs) but have watched cats from time to time as well. I will do everything in my power to give your pet the best care possible. I have experience with long/short walks, play time (ball throwing etc), cleaning up after animals, and having patience with them! I am available most afternoons after 1pm during the week until 9pm. In terms of weekends, I have free time with notice (3 days notice), mornings/afternoons/nights. I am also willing to work with you if these times do not work. I consider pets to be apart of the family. I have always treated my pets with respect, along with asserting dominance as I am the owner. I always show my love and affection while making sure they know I am in charge.

About: What makes me stand out? Well, since I work from home, I’m basically a full time buddy, ready for all the walks, belly rubs, and play breaks your pet wants. I’m pretty patient and gentle, which makes me great with both mischievous puppies and wise old furballs. Plus, I’ve helped with some basic training, so I’m happy to be your pet’s cheerleader for good behavior. Basically, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and I make sure they’re happy, comfy, and spoiled while you’re away! I work from home, so pet care fits really well into my daily routine. I’m able to take breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and just giving the pet some attention and company. Since I’m home most of the time, I can be really flexible and make sure the pet feels comfortable and cared for all day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I always try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of attention, exercise, and bathroom breaks, and I keep their environment clean and safe. In my home, I give them a cozy space and supervise them closely, especially during outdoor time. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and always leave things as I found them. No matter where I’m caring for them, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

About: I treat pets as valued members of the family, providing them with the same care, attention, and respect I would give my own. My experience grew significantly after I began babysitting for a local family, which allowed me to develop strong responsibility, trust, and caregiving skills. Since then, many families have reached out to me to care for their pets, their children, or both, reflecting the confidence they place in my reliability and dedication. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize consistency, responsibility, and attentive care. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive regular feeding, exercise, supervision, and companionship, while also accommodating any specific instructions from owners. By staying organized and flexible, I am able to provide reliable care that meets each pet’s individual needs without disrupting my other commitments. I provide attentive, responsible care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and daily routines to ensure consistency and comfort for the pet. I prioritize a safe, clean, and calm environment, along with regular supervision, playtime, and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and maintain the household routine to minimize stress for the pet. Clear communication with owners and attention to detail are central to the way I provide dependable, high-quality care.

About: I'm a stay-at-home parent with a flexible schedule and a love for dogs (and cats and horses and so on😸). I offer dependable dog walks and daily check-ins to help keep your pup happy and cared for while you're away. I'm professional, experienced, and always focused on providing safe, attentive care. Since my kids sometimes join me on walks, I ask that your dog is comfortable around children and strollers. Whether it's a daily stroll or a quick drop-in, you can count on me for reliable, thoughtful pet care. I can administer medication, drive to and from the park, and give a good brushing if needed. I am available most days, and can work around anyone's schedule. Even on little league days, you can count on a drop in or a quick stroll! I offer rides too and from the park or my own fenced in yard, I will ALWAYS keep your dog on a lead and return them to their crate if need be.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over three years. I’ve had various experiences with dogs and cats. As someone who has a dog of their own, I’ve been able to observe behaviors that’s helped when taking care of other dogs, to understand their needs and wants. I currently work remotely however, it doesn’t take time away when it comes to the fur babies! In fact, it allows me to be present and give them the much needed attention. I understand the environment the pets are settled in. I give daily updates to the home owner, making sure that any anxiety of leaving their pets behind is relieved. I bring my own food and care.
