“So happy we found Sarah! We did a very last minute staycation and needed someone to feed our dogs lunch and let them out. She came that night to meet them! And started the next day! We have one shy girl, who's a barker, but Sarah handled her well. She was even very accommodating with moving the time a bit if we got a late start to our day. Great experience!”
2. Rebekah A.
“Rebekah was wonderful with our kitties and sent us pictures daily. We will definitely use her anytime we need a sitter for them and/or our pups!”

“Sara and Miles were able to get my dog and puppy playing outside in The rain even though my dogs hate The rain! Very responsive and engaging with my dogs. They took pictures to send me so that I knew the dogs were happy. Will definately book them again 😁”
5. Kristine W.
“Kristine is one of the most thoughtful and genuine people we know. She is a wonderful dog mom and has a heart of gold, for both people and furry friends. She is incredible with our special needs animals and is always open to new challenges. Our family highly recommends Kristine!”
6. Brittany N.
“My cat Watson is a shy kitty and her first instinct to strangers is always hiding. Brittany was very patient with her and got Watson to warm up to her : ) Brittany is awesome and I very much appreciated her! Will definitely book her again next time when I'm out of town.”

About: I’m an experienced animal care taker. I’ve cared for animals since a child, including dogs, cats, horses, pigs, goats, cows, sheep, hamsters, fish, and ducks. I graduated from UConn with a degree in animal science and then worked as a veterinary technician for 7 years and have experience with animal training. I currently have my own two dogs and three cats. One of my dog’s had her leg amputated 6 years ago so I’m well versed in special needs animals! I’m available for drop in visits at this point in time! I love to hike and run, so I can ensure your pet gets plenty of exercise I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule so I can drop in during the early mornings, late afternoon and throughout the night. Pets’ safety and happiness is the most important thing to me, as I know how worrisome it is to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’ll ensure they’re all cared for like my own!
9. Amanda S.
“My animals were in such good hands with Amanda! Not only were all of their needs covered, the pictures that were shared showed how much fun they had while I was away as well! My search for a dog sitter is over, Amanda is the perfect choice.”
10. Thomas P.
“Thomas did a great job with my 2 cats. They are very shy creatures, and don’t come out of hiding for most of the sitters that I have tried, but they were very friendly for him and got lots of snuggles. It is good to know that I have a reliable cat sitting option who my cats really like.”
11. Heather F.
“Heather was a fabulous care taker to my fur babies. I received daily updates and photos of each visit. This made me feel at ease while away. Loki, my older fur baby who is very skiddish and afraid of his own shadow actually came out to see Heather and allowed her to pet him. That was a huge accomplishment. Yay Heather!!!! You can be assured I will be booking with Heather again in the future.”
12. Hannah W.
About: As an animal lover and care taker, I've had the privilege of working with a variety of species, from furry friends to feathered and scaly companions. My extensive experience has taught me the importance of attention to detail, patience, and compassion in providing top-notch care. Whether it's administering medication, monitoring health, or simply providing affection and socialization, I've learned that every animal deserves to be treated with kindness and respect. My passion for animals has led me to develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, nutrition, and behavior techniques, allowing me to provide care that meets the unique needs of each furry friend!! I am currently a teacher during the school year and have summers off!☀️ with that being said my schedule is pretty much open and free as I’m home all day! I have a smaller sized yard! I also have my own dog she is 6 months old, her name is Oakley and she loves her furry friends to play with! I also have a cat named blue who is very cuddly and sweet to animals of all kinds!

14. Nicole K.
“Nicole hands down is the best ! For starters she is very flexible and great at communicating, with that being said I travel a lot for work and it’s hard not feeling a little anxious when I leave my dog rocky behind with someone but Nicole from the moment I dropped off rocky to the moment I picked him up I had no worries ! Nicole really made me feel at peace leaving rocky behind ! I highly recommend Nicole and I will be using her from her on out !”
15. Meagan F.
“Megan is such a wonderful person and I feel so comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. My dogs love her and she treats them like her own. She always sends thorough report cards and pictures!”
16. Reilynn G.
“Reilynn has been our house/dog sitter for years and I can't imagine life without her. She is punctual, trustworthy, hard working, and a great communicator. Reilynn is always there for our family, even on short notice. The piece of mind she gives us is priceless. The compassion she shows our two pups and 1 kitty cat is wonderful and we trust her wholehearted. We cannot recommend Reilynn's services enough- she is the real deal!”
17. Megan C.
“Megan has looked after my cat while I’ve traveled and did such an amazing job! I didn’t have to worry about my cat kiwi because she was adamant on what I requested from her. I would give her a 5 star review and book her again. :)”
18. Laura H.
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laura! She was an exceptional caregiver for our kitty, who can be tempermental and demanding. Laura sent me daily picture and video updates and always made sure I knew what was going on at home, which gave me so much peace of mind. Laura even moved our trash cans for us, brought in the mail daily, and helped prepare our house for a potential hurricane. Laura is caring, trustworthy, and thoughtful, and any family would be lucky to have her care for their animals. I know we will be booking her again!! Thank you, Laura!”
19. Alexandria V.
About: I grew up helping run a kennel with my parents. We had, on average, 20 dogs at all times. Helping with the dogs was part of daily living for me. We also participated in showmanship and agility shows. I've had a lot of hands on experience in many facets concerning dog care and a lot of it has stuck with me through the years since I was helping with the dogs at a young age. I am currently in between jobs and hence have plenty of time to love on your babies. I'm going for per diem work so once I am employed, I'll still have time for the true loves of my life. I am a quick learner and flexible so whatever needs to happen for your dog, I can work with or provide. I'm currently providing walks/play dates and at the clients in home care.

“We met with Rachael the evening before her first time sitting with our dogs. She was very nice and seemed excited to doggie sit. I was happy to know that they were not stuck inside all day and that they had a chance to relieve themselves outside.”
