“Kacie was so good with our dog, George who has quite a bit of anxiety. She was calm and patient with him and very attentive to his needs. She went above and beyond and was extremely communicative, timely and thorough!”
“Anna is so delightful and clearly a dog lover. She communicated so well and sent loads of pictures/videos (which I love). It made me feel so at ease knowing she was there with my pups and watching them clearly enjoy spending time with her. Will definitely use Anna in the future. She’s so thoughtful, kind and I’m so grateful I found her.”
“Stephanie was great! She was always on time and messaged me in advance if she was going to be running late to feed my cats. She even brought in some packages that were delivered while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and would 100% use her again!”
“Anne-Marie is AMAZING! While we were away for a week, Anne-Marie dropped in every day to check in our cat Ruby. She kept me apprised each day and sent lovely photos and videos. She followed all our instructions to a tee and was absolutely sweet towards Ruby. When we go away again, we are most definitely booking with Anne-Marie!”

About: I’ve been caring for my adopted cat, Eggy, for the past four years, and he’s the sweetest part of my life. I’ve also looked after dogs, including a coworker’s dog while their family was away and my aunt and uncle’s senior diabetic dog. I’m patient, dependable, and calm, and I love being outdoors so walks, hikes, and playtime are always a win. In my free time, I enjoy working out, making pottery, and reading. ☀️ I currently work from home full time so my daily schedule is pretty flexible. If needed, I can bring my laptop to work from as long as there is reliable WiFi. When meeting a pet for the first time, I am always aware of my demeanor and make sure to give them the space to approach me when they’re feeling ready. I keep a calm and patient demeanor to build trust with the new pet, and also make sure to find out if they have any favorite toys.
“Sophia took such great care of our cats while we were away! She is very reliable and punctual and she provided great updates and photos. We would definitely use her again and would recommend her.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 16 years old and volunteered at an animal shelter for a year. My neighbors, family, and friends have always been able to count on me to take care of their pets. I’m currently available after 5:00 PM Monday-Friday and any time on the weekends. I have a full time job, so I’m able to work around it! I am able to come to a client’s house and play with your dog in the yard, or take them for walks, whichever you may prefer!

About: Hello I am Lily and I’ve been around pets my whole life! I grew up in NYC with three dachshunds (Dexter, Waffles, and Eloise) and now share my home in Branford with two playful cats (Napoleon,and Josephine). Living with so many pets over the years has taught me how much they mean to their families, and I always treat every animal with the same love and care I give my own, like family. By day, I work as a lawyer, but in the evenings and on weekends I dedicate my time to caring for animals. Whether it’s walking, sitting, or just keeping your pets company, my priority is making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and flexible with weekend availability. If you’re looking for someone responsible who will treat your pets like their own, I’d love to help! I do have restrictions in the times that I am free to help out. I am a full-time student in my senior year of high school. Therefore, I am only available after-school hours and on weekends to help out. However, if your building is in gramercy, I can help out during my lunch hour since my school is on 22 and Lexington. In addition, I am unable to have pets stay at my apartment, however, I am available to spend the night at the owner's apartment to help out, if necessary. II look forward to hearing from you and to meeting your dog! Care fits into my routine by combining check ins with quality time. Evenings on weekdays and anytime on weekends for feedings, walks, playtime - no matter the length of tome - are all scheduled around my work and personal life to ensure your pet gets the attention, care and companionship it needs. I make sure they feel safe comfortable and loved, giving plenty of attention and love and keep their environment clean and secure by following the owners rules and pets routines when it comes to feedings, bathroom breaks, walks, and playtime. I also communicate with owners regularly to update on how their fur babies are doing.
About: I have grown up around dogs all my life! My neighbors, family friends and relatives have all relied on me to take care of their dogs when needed and I truly enjoy playing and spending time with animals. I am a very active person in my daily life so I love going on walks with my dog and I am more than happy to do so with yours! I am a recent college graduate and am working various self employed jobs, therefore I am available to work around your schedule! I’ll be working some weeks from 9am-12:30pm but after that I will be at home to care for your pets! I am a very active person and go on walks on a regular basis so taking your dog on a walk rain or shine would fit in perfectly with my schedule. I have a sweet loving doggie of my own who loves company when she can get it! We have an unfenced but very private backyard with long leashes for doggies to run around how they choose! I understand the importance of schedule for dogs so I am more than happy to adjust to the routine of your pets and what they are used to as well :)
