“Rosa was great and very accommodating! She provided lots of updates with pictures and videos. I felt reassured that my 5 month old puppy was in great hands and she did great with him, with his first pet sitting. Would definitely use her again, when I’m in the area. Thank you again Rosa 💗”


“Triba is amazing! She loved peanut and made peanut feel safe and comfortable. This eased our anxiety too and we will definitely be working with Triba again soon!”


About: It is so hard to leave your pet. You don't have to worry if they will be treated right in my care. Stay at home mom/pt nurse to care for your beloved pet. I'm Janelle, I have over 30 years experience with my own pets, cats and dogs of all sizes (St.Bernard to minidachshund) . We have a lots of room and big partially fenced yard to play in. I enjoy studying and research each breed in addition to developing basic dog training skills. I also use all nontoxic, pet friendly cleaners and products in my home and yard. I work from home about 15 hours a week. I take the pets out every 2-4 hours and make sure they get snacks/food. I always have toys available and love to send pictures and videos of your pets stay. I have one 11 lb dachshund to keep your pet entertained. I am happy to discuss walks and extra stimulation, treats, and offer daily report card. I also have access to Glastonbury dog park down the street. I always double check doors to be closed, and leads to fit securely but comfortably. The pets always stay with me and get to play or nap freely throughout the day. I do separate them if I need to leave for short period of time for safety reasons.

“Chris was very accommodating when it came to pick up and drop off time. We did a day boarding with Chris for my dog, Ava, and she loved hanging out with Chris. Will book Chris again!”



“Noel and his family were AMAZING when taking care of Meeko. There were constant updates by Noel along with many pictures of Meeko having fun. They played with him, took him on a walk, and made sure Meeko also had plenty of water and rest when needed. He is now tuckered out and ready to have a great night’s sleep Weq would definitely recommend Noel if you need a sitter in the area, and Meeko would definitely love to go back!”

Hunter was smiling, happy, and seemed worn out after his stay with Lisa. We cannot thank her enough for all her help. Thank you so much Lisa!!!!! ?”

I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me lots of time to help care for your pets.

Please let me know how I can best support you and your needs.

About: Since very young I have always loved furry babies! I'm thrilled to extend my love and care to the furry babies in my neighborhood. I have had 3 beloved dogs of my own even nursing one from just three weeks old! Over the past year, I've had the incredible opportunity to foster seven adorable pups, successfully finding loving homes for each of them! I am currently working part time on weekends so I have more than enough time to play with your pups! Available everyday & accept last minute requests!! I live in a dog friendly apartment with a court yard where your dog can potty. I am very active and love to go on walks and runs with the dogs I care for! I have my own supplies such as toys, blankets, bed, and crate!

About: I have a 4 year old English lab named Doug. I have trained him since he was 3 months old and he plays well with other dogs. I am available for pet care after 4pm on weekdays. Boarding is ideal on the weekends but I can be flexible and provide overnight services during the week as well. I have a friendly lab to keep your dog company and a spare crate if necessary. If your dog is good off leash, they can play with my dog in my unfenced backyard. Otherwise, exercise will be walking or at the dog park.

“Onyx and I did an initial meet and greet with Trenton and I loved that he brought out the dogs one by one to see how they would interact with each other. We ran into a bit of scheduling conflict with the initial booking; however, Trenton immediately reached out to problem solve. Trenton has been super responsive when I reach out for updates!”


About: — First time booking with me? Use this code for $20 off your first appointment! LEANDW09173 — Being raised with dogs, cats, and other various kinds of animals since I was 6 years old, I’m not a stranger to small (or even big!) feet following me around the house. From love and snuggles after a long day, to laughing at zoomie episodes, my family has built our lives around our animals. And I would love to add your pet into my happy story. Rest assured, you can leave your fur-baby with me for peace of mind, and can expect them to be loved, cared for, snuggled, and protected as you would do. I have experience with energetic, senior, and pups with allergies and/or meds. I start grad school in the fall, so I have ample free time 5-6 days a week to provide attention and care for your furbaby. I am an avid communicator and will be making sure I follow all necessary instructions left by you (feeding needs, medical needs, etc.). If I’m not sure on something, I’ll always communicate to make sure to provide the best service to your and your baby.
