Dog Sitting in Bethany

About: I absolutely love all types of dogs and cats! Ever since I was 10 years old I have not lived without a dog in my house. I am flexible with your pets needs from walking to running and biking or taking them to the dog park. I have experience with administering medicine orally or injections. I have a dog of my own (who currently lives out of state at the moment with my boyfriend) so I know the responsibilities of what it takes to be a great dog owner, he is large and high energy so I am not intimidated by dogs with tough personalities. I am very reliable and will respond usually very quickly to texts or calls thank you in advance for considering me to walk/watch your pet! I am currently working Monday-Thursday 7am-5pm so I am mostly available on weekends Friday-Sunday. I have an hour for lunch so I can also check on a pet then but it is not guaranteed. I treat your pets as though they are my own! I know how hard it can be to leave them so I make sure they feel like they are on vacation too by giving them walks, cuddles and permitted treats.

“Andrea is wonderful! She was able to help on a very short notice and even extended the time of her visit. She was so sweet and understanding of my crazy 6mo old puppy! We can’t wait to use Andrea again”

About: "I have a deep love for animals and years of experience caring for pets. Family and friends have always trusted me to watch, feed, walk, and love their dogs. I specialize in providing a calm, structured, and incredibly safe environment for small and medium adult dogs. Your pup will receive constant attention, plenty of playtime, and treated just like family while staying with me." "I currently work part-time, which gives me a very steady routine and plenty of open flexibility to be home with your dog. I am always mindful of my time management to ensure your pet gets consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and lots of individual attention. I have plenty of dedicated time to play, go for walks, and make sure your pup feels completely safe, happy, and pampered while you are away." Safety is my highest priority when caring for your pet. My home is a clean, calm, and smoke-free environment with plenty of open space for small and medium dogs to feel entirely at ease. I maintain a secure setup to ensure no escapes, provide constant direct supervision, and strictly follow any specific care, feeding, or routine instructions you provide to keep your pup happy and safe."

“Bruce was able to help us with walking and feeding our dog Bergie on short notice. He took great care of him (we’ve never left him with someone other than family) and Bergie loved him. I appreciate how communicative Bruce was and that he gave Bergie lots of attention and exercise.”

About: I have hands-on experience working on two different farms and Hamden CT’s brooksvale park (all throughout high school) , where I cared for a wide variety of animals, including everything from dogs&cats - cows & sheep . I’ve kept close contact with multiple repeat costumers I’ve built lasting friendships with house sitting/dog walking for. These experiences taught me how to read animal behavior, stay patient, and provide attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. In addition to pet and house sitting for friends and family, I grew up with four pit bulls in the house and learned how to care for them as pups aswell as in their old age. I Have had smaller pets like hamsters and guinea pigs and currently have my own small dog with a big personality I love very much (side note I can take professional photos of your dog if you’d like) I recently graduated from art school(studying fashion design) and am currently looking for work related to my degree. In the meantime, dog/house sitting and walking fits into my open schedule I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I stay attentive to feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection (including belly rubs and treats if allowed!). I’m also happy to accommodate any special routines, medications, or care instructions to make your pet feel at home

About: I love my dogs. I have taken care of my dogs . I give baths and play with them and take them to walks. They are family to me. I’m very flexible. My child are 13 and 14 years old.

“Melissa was amazing, our cat had just gone through a stay at the hospital and she was very experienced being a vet tech and knew how to take care of our boy. She's very sweet and her communication is very open. Will definitely be booking with Melissa again!”

“I couldn’t have been more thankful for the service Bailee provided. She is a very caring individual and you can tell she has a love for animals.

About: I’ve had cats since I was 13 and have many years of hands-on experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs. I was able to help an older rescue cat become comfortable and affectionate over time, which taught me patience and how to build trust with shy or nervous cats. I currently have a tortie of my own, so I understand how important routines, playtime, and a calm environment are. I treat every cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time as a paraprofessional from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays and am currently earning my master’s degree in elementary education. I’m available for pet care visits in the late afternoons and evenings after 4:30 PM, as well as weekends and school breaks. For cat sitting, I’m happy to stay for extended visits and can sit with your cat while I complete my schoolwork so they have calm companionship and supervision while you’re away. My schedule is consistent and dependable, and I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable and on their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routines closely so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I provide feeding, litter box care, playtime, and calm companionship during visits. As a paraprofessional and graduate student in elementary education, I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to details and instructions. I also communicate regularly with updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe, cared for, and relaxed.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up with pets and continuing that today with animals of my own. That experience has helped me understand different personalities, energy levels, and the importance of consistency and routine—especially when it comes to dogs and their daily walks. As a full-time art teacher, I’m used to being dependable, attentive, and organized, and I bring that same level of responsibility to every walk. Whether your dog needs a quick outing or a longer walk to burn off energy, I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and respect that I give my own pets, making sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. As a full time teacher, I am usually home by 3pm and off on the weekends. I am available for afternoon and evening care as well as weekends. During July and August my schedule is far more flexible and would be available at all times of the day, 7 days a week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, the goal is to keep their routine as normal, calm, and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs, and any specific habits or preferences the pet is used to. I treat every home with respect by keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. As a full-time art teacher, being responsible, organized, and trustworthy is a big part of my daily life, and I bring that same mindset into every pet sitting visit.

“Sara is amazing. She followed my instructions and she kept in touch with me on how our old lady was doing. She used good judgment with regard to the poor air quality and heat by limiting the time our dog was out. She paid attention to our dog as well. I desperately wish she lived closer to us and am so thankful that she was able to come to our home. I highly recommend her and believe anyone who gets to have her take care of their pets is very lucky. She also has excellent work ethics.”

“Jen was incredible with my cat! She was attentive to his needs and always responded quickly to any questions/concerns I had. She also sent me many videos of him which I really appreciated. I felt very safe trusting her with him and would happily contact her if I ever needed a sitter again.”

“You could not ask for a better person to Drop-in on your pet than Sydney! I have used her more than a dozen times and every time she has exceeded my expectations. Whether it’s her informative and entertaining visit summery’s or the many candid shots of my cat she make you feel as if you are there.”

“Great communication and was very helpful with working out a schedule. Definitely recommend James, he is a nice guy and great with the pups!”

“Zach is a great drop in visit sitter, provides quick responses and a great summary of his drop in with my cat. He was patient with my cat, slowly earning her trust to coax her out to play and eat.”

About: I am a recent college graduate who spent my time training puppies and fostering kitties. It was it one of the best things I did at university. Outside of that, I helped raise two rescued beagles and a handful of senior cats. I’m experienced with puppies/kittens all the way through seniors. As an educator and loving of all I see myself as an experienced caregiver that wears a multitude of hats I currently work 8am-5pm Monday-Thursday with weekends and evenings off. That is lots of time to check in on your baby, go for walks, and play some stimulating games. I’d love to get together before watching your place and pet to go through your safety procedures, emergency contacts, etc. I take protecting your pet and home as a priority so you can enjoy your time away

“We had a great experience having Corbin watch our pets while we were away. We have multiple pets with varying feeding schedules and medications, and he handled everything so well, including watering my porch plants, such a relief! Very responsible and we can tell our dog had a great time with her new friend. Will definitely be using him again in the future.”
