“What a joy to meet someone so genuinely devoted to taking care of my beloved beast! Mary Kate was wonderful—reliable, caring, and clearly passionate about dogs. She is trustworthy and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.”

“Ashley took amazing care of our two kitties while we were on our honeymoon. We were able to have a stress-free trip knowing we could count on her to be there twice a day to feed them AND spend time with them! I will definitely be booking Ashley next time we go away, and you should too! She’s very sweet and intentional with animals. ❤️”

About: I've had my pets in my life but i've also looked after many pets. Sometimes I have had to look after more than one dog at a time and different ages and breeds. There has been times i have had to sleep over night with pets. I always feel a connection or a bond between animals as I believe they know our true intentions. m-f I Work at my main job which is at Webster Bank usually until 4 PM, But have off on holidays and weekends. Some nights I work late but I usually have a month ahead of what my schedule looks like. I treat anyone else's property as if it were my own or better than my own.

About: Hello! I'm an animal lover and pet-parent looking to get back into pet sitting after some time away. My husband and I welcomed a few wonderful dogs into our home through Rover a few years ago. At this point, I'd like to watch animals via drop-in visits (dogs and cats!). We've received so much great care for our cats over the years--I know how important it is to have a trustworthy person watch over your animal. I'm a friendly, type-A person with a keen attention to detail, so you can depend on me to take care of everything. Beyond standard pet care, I am comfortable walking dogs and administering oral meds. Happy to answer any questions you may have ahead of booking! I work in-office 3 days a week. On those days I can do drop-in visits before 8:30am and after 5:30pm. On my WFH days, I have more flexibility and can also do lunchtime visits. I follow the owners instructions--whatever you need is what I will provide. I'm not afraid to ask questions when something is unclear. I will be respectful of your home and pet's needs.
“Lindsay did such a good job with Lily! She came over 3 times a day to let feed her, take her out, and exercise her. She has an incredible presence with dogs. Lily took to her immediately and she usually takes a long time with new people! I definitely plan on using Lindsay to help take care of my dogs in the future! She is always available and goes above and beyond when caring for your dog! I would trust her with my beloved Lily any day!”

About: Hi everyone, I’m Amanda! Currently a stay at home mom raising my 5 and 6 year old human children, and my 7year old mix and crazy kitten! We’re all avid hikers and nature lovers, being outside is our absolute favorite! I grew up having dogs, mostly mixes and rescues, so I know how to gently approach pets that may have trust issues or who may be shy. With our mix having husky in her, I know all about high energy and how to get them relaxed and sleepy! Walking, running, and hiking are what we use to personally exercise our dogs so I can make sure whatever works best for your pup is what we’ll do! If needed I can be open to at home boarding, but I would first need to be sure they’d get along with my dogs :) Thank you for reading! I'm currently home full time with my kids in school, so I'm available from 9A - 2P (depending on distance) and after 5 during the week, as needed on the weekends. We have a large yard, and lead available for dogs who may need it. Currently our dog does well to stay on our property, she loves walking down to the brook for a dip!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, bunnies, and birds. Growing up with different types of animals taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines.

I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and mood to make sure every pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable. I currently have open availability, which allows me to be flexible and fully accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can adjust my schedule to fit their needs. Because I’m not rushing between commitments, I’m able to give each pet focused, unhurried attention during every visit. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. My approach is always needs-based, meaning I follow your pet’s routine closely and adjust to their personality. whether they need lots of interaction or a calm, low-key presence.
