Vanessa was fantastic with my 90lb pitbull. I was able to communicate clearly with her and she was very prompt with addressing any issues. I’m sure my pup will love to see her again. I will absolutely use her services in the future. Thank you, Vanessa.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life growing up. I have experience both taking care of dogs and cats of all ages. Since October 2025 I have been a puppy nanny for the cutest Wheaton as well as watching his senior siblings. In this position I was responsible for training, sitting, and walking the puppy and have recently ended this position due to moving to West Hartford to attend graduate school at UHart. I have also gained experience cat sitting for a coworker when she is away on vacation. I am currently starting my first summer semester at the University of Hartford so I am looking for opportunities mainly on the weekends but I am also available most Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays later in the day. I will be able to provide care in any living situation/setting based on your instructions to provide the best care possible for your pets.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 10 years old, and I learned early on that pets are truly part of the family. Growing up, my mom regularly opened our home for dog sitting, and I’ve been helping care for pets alongside her for over five years. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they need to feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re my own pets. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m open and flexible with making time for the animals I care for. I currently work part time, which gives me availability to schedule walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and quality time with pets throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I’m happy to adjust my routine to make sure they feel cared for, comfortable, and not alone while their owners are away. I care for every pet like they’re part of the family because that’s how I’ve always treated my own dogs. My pets are truly my babies, and I love spending time with them, whether that’s playing, relaxing together, or just keeping them company. Now that my dogs are seniors, they enjoy lounging in the sun, relaxing around the house, and spending time with their people and companions. When dogs stay in our home for boarding, we treat them like they’re our own pets. They get lots of attention, love, companionship, walks, and time to relax and feel comfortable. They spend time with our dogs, lounge around together, and are never made to feel alone. We create a calm, loving environment where pets can feel safe and at home — many even sleep on our beds because we want them to feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while their owners are away.

About: I had a maltese puppy for 10 years from age 9 weeks onward and most recently had a shih tzu puppy that turned 1 on 5/28/25. In the oast I've had pets including hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and fish of my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your pup will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. Here's what a typical day looks like when your dog is with me: 🐾 Morning (7am–10am): Potty break, breakfast, and a light walk or play session 🐾 Midday (11am–2pm): Walks, potty breaks, enrichment games, or just relaxing cuddle time 🐾 Afternoon (3pm–6pm): Another walk or active playtime in a safe, calm environment 🐾 Evening (7pm–9pm): Dinner, a final potty break, and winding down for the night I'm available for: ✅ Drop-in visits ✅ Dog walking ✅ Puppy care Weekend and holiday availability included! I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, or specific instructions your dog needs to feel comfortable and loved. When you trust me to care for your dog, I show up with love, respect, and attention to detail — all in the comfort of your dog’s familiar surroundings. 🐶 In-Home Peace of Mind: I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most secure. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit, taking your pup for a walk, or staying overnight, I follow your routine closely to minimize stress and keep your dog calm and happy. 🦴 Personalized, Gentle Care: I specialize in small breeds and have over 10 years of experience. From meal schedules and potty routines to medication or calming techniques, I provide care tailored to your dog’s specific needs. 🚶🏽‍♀️ Safe & Engaging Walks: Walks are done one-on-one in familiar areas, with close attention to your pet’s energy level, leash behavior, and comfort. I avoid crowded dog parks or risky environments to keep your dog safe. 📝 Trustworthy & Transparent: I communicate clearly, provide updates, and send photos during every visit. You’ll always know how your pet is doing, whether I’m there for 20 minutes or staying the night. Your pet stays safe, your home is respected, and you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, responsible hands.

Haoran was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to take care of our cats. I truly can not thank her enough. Not only was so great at communicating, she was so understanding of our situation with our rescue cats. She also cleaned more then she had too/more then what we ever expected. I can not say enough how nice it was to come home to a clean house and cats that were happy and healthy and to be stress free about it while away. 😭❤️

About: We’ve owned many dogs growing and are super excited for the opportunity to be around animals while living in a new state. We've house sat for neighbors, friends and family for a number of years so please take a look at our testimonials. We both have very flexible schedules! Matthew is an PhD student and Mary Beth works from home, so we're both available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. We love walking and biking around the West End of Hartford, but we do have cars for extra flexibility. Your pet's safety and comfort are our top priorities. When house sitting, we follow your routine closely to keep things familiar and stress-free for your pet. We’re respectful of your home and aim to leave it just as we found it—if not better. For dog walking, we use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and always keep a close eye on your dog’s comfort and energy level. During doggy daycare, your pet will have a calm, supervised environment with lots of attention, play, and breaks as needed. We're happy to accommodate special needs, medications, or quirks—just let us know!

About: Your dog is more than a pet — they’re family. We provide a warm, loving, and secure environment where your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for.

In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and familiar. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship, always with an eye on their behavior and well-being.

About: At home I've been taking care of Ramsey, my small, high-energy, dog for almost 9 years. In these 9 years I've gained a larger a sense of responsibility and my love for animals has grown tremendously. I know how to communicate with dogs and read dog body language in order to cater to their needs and give them best care. As a recent graduate, I have more flexibility in my schedule, I can dedicate ample time to caring for my pets. This includes feeding, grooming, walking, and spending quality time with them to ensure their well-being and happiness. Engaging in activities like playing, training, and companionship not only enriches their lives but also brings a sense of purpose to my day. While job hunting, I find solace and a sense of responsibility in taking care of my pets, creating a positive and fulfilling routine amidst my current situation. At home I make sure my dog cannot access anything that can harm him. I close doors to the bathroom so he can’t access the trash can and I put gates up around the house to areas he can’t be in. During walks I am very careful and aware of my surroundings. If I walk at night, I walk in a well lit area with a few friends.

Callan is simply amazing. I was traveling out of state which can be a little scary being so far away from your pets. But Callan put me at ease the entire time I was away. He sent me pictures and updates everyday. The pups love their snuggle time and were always so happy to great him. I will use Callan anytime I am I need of dependable great care for my pups.

Matt and Mary Beth dropped in on Ipo several times over the course of three days while we had long days out of the house. From the initial meet and greet Ipo loved them and we trusted them to take good care of him. They were so attentive and asked all the right questions. After each visit they sent us an update and plenty of pictures of Ipo basking in their attention. Every night when we got home we could tell that he had been taken great care of. He even ate dinner for them no problem, which is sometimes a struggle. We’re over the moon with how well it went and we will definitely be using Matt & Mary Beth in the future!!

I had an excellent experience with Jalah and couldn’t be happier with the care they provided. From the very beginning, she was punctual and arrived exactly at the scheduled time, which immediately gave me confidence and peace of mind. Jalah followed all of my instructions carefully and paid close attention to the details of my pet’s routine, which I truly appreciated. It’s clear she takes her responsibility seriously and genuinely care about the animals she look after. What stood out the most was their communication.Jalah kept me consistently updated, especially during my pet’s transition to being with someone new in my home. Those updates made a huge difference and reassured me that everything was going smoothly. Overall, I highly recommend Jalah to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and communicative. I would absolutely trust her again in the future!
