About: I provide loving, attentive pet care, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining routines, exercise, feeding schedules, individualized attention, and clear owner communication. (Bilingual) Habló español Pet care fits into my routine part-time and per diem, allowing me to dedicate quality time, flexibility, and focused attention to each pet without feeling rushed. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I keep environments clean, safe, calm, and provide regular updates to owners for peace of mind.

“I would 10/10 recommend Jillian. Our first time meeting she did awesome with my dog and her experience with dogs and training really shows. I’ve never seen my dog so responsive and attentive to commands or behaving properly before. If you ask for any tips Jillian has plenty of experience and showed me how to get the best out of my dog. After the walk, my dog plopped right down on the floor and got ready to nap. I definitely will use Jillian in the future for any dog care needs.”

“Matthew is so pleasant and laid back, any loving animal will gravitate well with him. Matthew was an easy win for my pittie girlie and she absolutely enjoyed her AM walk with him. I have already booked more appointments with Matthew that my pittie and I look forward to.”

About: I have loved dogs and pets for as long as I can remember! Growing up, my home was always filled with multiple dogs, which taught me firsthand how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. When I left for college, I made the heartbreaking but responsible choice to rehome my dogs with amazing families. I knew that with my intense school schedule, I wouldn’t have the time, energy, or availability they truly deserved. To me, a pet's well-being always comes first. Now that my schedule is open and stable, I am eager to get back to working with animals! I am using this time to gain even more hands-on experience before I am ready to adopt a dog of my own again. By booking with me, your pet will get my full, undivided attention, lots of love, and the highest level of responsible care. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I recently graduated from college and have a few completely open months this summer before starting my full time career in September! Because of this, my schedule is incredibly open, flexible, and completely open for pet care. My personal daily routine revolves around fitness, going to the gym, and staying as active as possible. I absolutely love going on long, frequent walks, so looping your dog into my daily routine is a perfect match! Whether your dog needs high energy outdoor exercise, frequent potty breaks, or just consistent companionship throughout the day, I have the full time, energy, and capacity to dedicate to them. Your pet will be my top priority all summer long! Your pet will enjoy a safe, secure, and incredibly peaceful stay at my house! We have a completely fenced in yard with absolutely no other resident pets, giving your dog full reign of the space. There are also no neighboring dogs sharing our fence line, making it the perfect, stress free environment for pups who get easily anxious or reactive.I live with my mom and my 15 year old sister, both of whom love animals and will occasionally be around to offer extra head scratches and love. Because it is a calm, predictable household, your pet will get highly focused attention and a structured routine tailored exactly to their needs. When caring for your pet in your home, I treat your property with the utmost respect, care, and consideration. I am exceptionally neat, organized, and mindful of your space. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing that I will not only keep your pets happy and safe, but I will also make sure to leave your home cleaner and better than I found it.

“One of the best! Updated me the whole time my doggie was on a walk and came with last minute notice. Will definitely be booking more walks!! Muffin was satisfied 😇”

About: I have experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who loves long walks and playtime or a senior dog who needs a slower pace and a little extra care, I’m comfortable adapting to what they need most. I especially love working with energetic dogs and making sure they get the exercise, structure, and attention they thrive on. At the same time, I have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand how important patience, gentleness, and consistency are in helping them feel safe and supported. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while giving owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands. As an elementary school teacher, my days are usually built around structure, consistency, and showing up reliably—and I bring that same mindset to pet care. During the summer, my schedule opens up significantly, which allows me to dedicate more time and flexibility to caring for pets in my community. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine right now. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care throughout the week, and I enjoy building my day around making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and consistency they need. It’s something I genuinely enjoy doing during my time off, and it’s been a great way to stay active and connected while doing work I care about. I always tailor my care based on each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s instructions. I know every pet has their own routine, preferences, and personality, so I make it a priority to follow directions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, or specific behaviors to watch for. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as consistent and familiar as possible so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. In my home, I create a calm, safe space and adjust based on the pet’s energy level and needs—whether that means lots of playtime or a quieter, more relaxed setting. Communication is really important to me, so I make sure to keep owners updated and reach out if anything seems off. My goal is always to provide care that feels seamless and gives both pets and owners peace of mind.

“Very communicative and considerate of my dog’s needs!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and was taking care of my dogs since I can remember! I also was a routine pet sitter for a couple families in my home town and it is my favorite thing to do. Since moving away, seeing and getting to say hi to any dogs always brightens my day so I’d love to help out and get to know your pup! I’ve cared for and pet sit for anywhere from very young puppies to seniors. I love them all! None too big or small. I’m working part time so I have plenty of time for your pups. Occasionally during the week I work evenings but I have lots of availability throughout the week and weekends! I don’t have any pets in my apartment, but I’ve got a good bit of space and I’m right by the park to take them out for walks and have some outside time!

About: With 10 years of experience, I provide compassionate and reliable pet care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I love going on walks—whether it’s energetic outings for young, active dogs or gentle strolls for seniors. I also have a deep love for caring for cats, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and mental stimulation. Whether your cat enjoys interactive play, cozy lap time, or just a clean, stress-free environment, I’m here to provide the care they need. For all pets if wanted I will also take the time to brush their coats, keeping them comfortable and well-groomed. Whether it’s playing with puppies, supporting senior pets, or simply making sure your furry friends feel safe, loved, and happy, I’m here to help! I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily accommodate your pet's needs and provide attentive care whenever required. Please reach out with any questions! I offer pet sitting in your home, ensuring your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I can also drop in for check-ins and walks almost anytime to fit your schedule.

About: My professional journey in pet-sitting and dog-walking officially began in 2021 when I joined the team at David's Pet Services. It was an incredible experience to work with them for nearly two years, but due to my relocation to a different part of Connecticut, I had to step away from my role there. I had the pleasure of serving over 50 clients, gaining valuable expertise in various aspects of pet care. I have worked with small, medium, and large dogs, as well as providing attentive care to cats. Additionally, I have extensive experience with special needs and senior pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being. Basic puppy training, de-escalation techniques, and administering oral medications are also among my areas of expertise. I am well-versed in accommodating special instructions and routines to meet the unique needs of each pet. I have even cared for exotic pets, such as birds, fish, and guinea pigs! *I hold pet first aid/CPR certification, ensuring that I am prepared to handle any unforeseen situations and provide immediate care in emergencies* Feel free to request your visit and I will make it a priority to fulfill that request. I respond very quickly to messages so if I cannot accommodate your request, you will know almost immediately. I understand the importance of a consistent routine for your furry companions - therefore, I am dedicated to tailoring my services to meet the specific requirements of each individual client. I firmly believe that every household and every pet is unique, with their own distinct needs and preferences. I understand that pets are cherished members of the family, and I approach every interaction with the understanding that their well-being is of the highest importance. From tailoring exercise routines to accommodate different fitness levels and goals, to providing a safe and nurturing environment, I am committed to delivering the highest standard of care and providing peace of mind to the pet owner.

I have had the pleasure of taking care of both dogs and cats. I will provide personalized care for each pet under my watch. From daily walks and feeding time to playtime and snuggles, I am committed to ensuring your pet feels happy & well cared for while you're away! ** I am currently only servicing in the downtown Hartford area I am a full time remote worker and flexible with my schedule. I am available to care for your fur babies on weekdays, weekends, or holidays! I tailor my approach to individual pet needs and stick closely to the routine your pet is accustomed to.
