Cat Sitting Centerbrook

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs, including my previous dog, an 80-pound Golden Retriever. She could be reactive toward other dogs while on leash, so I became very comfortable handling strong dogs, staying calm in challenging situations, and maintaining control even when she was pulling. In addition to caring for my previous dog, I have regularly looked after neighbors’ and friends’ dogs by walking, feeding, and ensuring they were well cared for while their owners were away. In my personal life I love going on long runs up to 6 miles so if you have a higher energy dog that would like to join me I would love to take them with me! I am currently a university student, and I have off of school until the spring semester begins in February. I am free most weekends, and weekdays Monday-Friday. I am comfortable your dog or dogs in any environment. I have taken care of dogs that used special harness’ or prong collars so I know how to work those if needed. I love to run and hike so I can also bring your dog along if they are extra energetic!

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my two cats received! Serenity was absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond to make sure they were not only well fed and safe, but also loved and comforted while I was away. She provided regular updates, photos, and was incredibly responsive and kind. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”

About: I have had all sorts of pets since I was a kid from bunnies, guinea pigs and hamsters to dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own. She is a sharp-eagle. She is about 2 years old and loves all dogs. I would love to bring her along with me to go on walks etc at your approval. I am currently a nanny part time and a part time student at SCSU. I would have plenty of time to care for your furry friend on the weekends. I care for your pets in your home and will follow any directions for caring for your furry friend. Whether its feeding and or playing or walking I am there to care for your pet in the time of need.

About: While I don’t have a pet of my own currently, I am lucky to have family and friends that I treat and take care of as my own. I am attentive and responsible, and will make sure to give your pet the care and cuddles they need! I work part time, so I have a flexible and open schedule. I am open to house sitting, but I have plenty of time in the day to check on your animals or give them walks or food! Reach out and see if I can help take care of your pet! I am free to come to your house to take care of animals, and if instructions are given, can totally feed, give medication, and walk your dogs! I currently do not have my home set up to receive dogs, but I could house sit cats at my home if needed.

“Vinny looked after Walter for six weeks and went above and beyond in looking after him. He has looked after him several times now and I would wholeheartedly recommend him as a sitter.”

“Roger is a fantastic cat sitter. He is super reliable, communicative, flexible and great with felines. He took really good care of my cranky and cantankerous (and sweet) 15 yr old kitty. Roger went above and beyond to accommodate her while we were away for a week. He also knows kitty CPR which made me feel extra secure! I recommend him highly!”

About: Hello pet parent! I have lived with, trained, and loved animals since I was a child. I have grown up with multiple dogs, cats, chickens, fish, hamsters, etc… and I would absolutely love to take care of yours! I am a warm, detail oriented, dedicated, and responsible problem solver. I’m also big on communication, updates, and taking pictures of your furry loved one. I take pride in making sure every animal has what they need (and plenty of pets)! Special needs and requests for care are always welcome. I have a lot of experience as many friends, family members, and coworkers have hired me to take care of their beloved pets. All animal inquiries are welcome :) I am currently working full time, with Mondays and Tuesdays off every week. Though my hours are very flexible and I am able to take breaks during the day to check in on your pet! I am happy to stay overnight with a pet, though I am also able to in multiple times a day if preferred. When taking care of a pet, my own or someone else's, they are one of my top priorities! I want to make sure they are the happiest and healthiest they can be, so I tend to go above and beyond when it comes to care. I try to pick the best food possible, make sure they are hydrated, get plenty of fresh air, play, and a few extra toys or outfits are always welcome! I am the oldest of 7 and have a multitude of animal experience under my belt, so I do not get grossed out easily! If there is a mess, I will clean it up with precision and care.

“Marisa was a fantastic sitter for our little kitty while we left town for a few days. Even left Myka a little gift basket! Thanks for everything!”

About: I have taken care of a huge variety of animals in my career and I am very good with animals. For a very long time my friends have relied on me to provide the best care for their beloved pets. I am currently working part time and would like to make the pet care service my full time career! I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet and I will do my best to provide the best care possible! Working with large animals my whole career I am extremely diligent about safety for all animals. I will put your pet's safety as a first priority.

“Victoria is a delightful person and amazing animal whisperer. My cat went straight to V from the first visit, where as with most people and previous sitters he will ovoid and hide even people who have been to the house many times. On one occasion Victoria had to go the emergency room with her child and I could not believe that after being there for hours - she and her family came to our home around midnight to feed and play with our cat. If that’s not a strong recommendation I don’t know what is. Thanks Victoria for everything. We really value and appreciate you.”

“Kellyn is friendly, reliable, and great with our dogs! Looking forward to peace of mind and using her for future times away.”

About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with a wide variety of species, personalities, ages, and care needs. From energetic puppies (so cute!) to senior pets (so precious!) requiring medication, I understand that every animal is unique and deserves individualized attention, patience, and compassion. My experience includes dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats, rabbits, chickens, ferrets, turtles, frogs, iguanas, ball pythons, Burmese pythons, freshwater aquariums, and saltwater reef systems (to name a few). Over the years, I've cared for animals with different temperaments, feeding requirements, and daily routines, and am comfortable following detailed care instructions to ensure routine consistency while humans are away. I have experience administering medications and understand the importance of maintaining schedules, monitoring behavior, and recognizing when something may be out of the ordinary. I am also comfortable caring for senior pets who may require additional patience, assistance, or specialized care. As a longtime small business owner on the Connecticut shoreline, I understand the value of trust, communication, and reliability. When caring for your pets, I treat them with the same attention and respect I would expect for my own animals. My goal is to provide peace of mind while you're away through dependable care, regular updates, and genuine affection for the animals entrusted to me. Whether your household includes a single dog, a multi-pet family, exotic animals, backyard chickens, or even aquariums, I am comfortable adapting to different environments and care routines. I know how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I take that responsibility seriously. For me, pet care isn't just about feeding schedules and walks—it's about building trust with each animal, respecting their individual personalities, and helping them feel secure and comfortable until their family returns home. After recently closing a local business that I owned and operated for 15 years, I decided to pursue opportunities that allow me to spend more time doing something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. As a result, I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate daytime visits, evening care, weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests when availability allows. I enjoy the opportunity to stay active, help fellow pet owners, and spend time with animals of all kinds. Pet care is not simply a way to fill my schedule; it's something I find rewarding and meaningful. I understand how important it is to find someone dependable to care for your pets, and I strive to provide the same level of care, communication, and reliability that I would want for my own fur, finned and scaled babies. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before care begins. I understand that consistency helps reduce stress and keeps pets comfortable while their families are away. As a longtime Connecticut shoreline business owner and resident, I understand the trust involved when someone gives you access to their home and entrusts you with the care of a beloved family member. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to provide dependable, professional, and compassionate care at all times. In a client's home, I work to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime as appropriate, litter box or habitat maintenance, medication administration when needed, and plenty of attention based on your pet's personality and comfort level. I also treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect in my own. I believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos whenever possible to help you feel connected and reassured while you're away. Because of my experience caring for a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, ferrets, reptiles, amphibians, and both freshwater and saltwater aquariums—I understand the importance of observation and recognizing when something may be out of the ordinary. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, activity levels, and overall well-being so that concerns can be addressed promptly if they arise. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, dependable, and low-stress experience for both pets and their people, so you can enjoy your time away with confidence and peace of mind.

About: I have been house sitting overnight since I was 14. I have experience working with dogs, cats, mice, and flying squirrels. Believe it or not, I have taken care of dogs who were indoor-trained only.I am also an experienced dog walker- not just with my own dogs but with friends' dogs that I've loved as my own. **serious inquiries only** please do not send me a booking request if you're going to ghost me after I respond or if you plan to book with another sitter. You'd be surprised by how often this happens. I abide by the safety precautions at the homes I stay at (fences, ring cameras, etc). When I stay with indoor cats, I take extra precautions when leaving the house to make sure the cats don't escape.

About: I am very punctual and am responsible. I have taken care of dogs all my life and love animals. I have rescued plenty of stray dogs and that is one of my lifetime goals. I do believe in treating all animals with the same care and respect. One of my special skills is I can take care of any dog. No matter the size or the amount of work needed, I will make sure your dog receives the same love and affection you desire for it to have. You will not find anyone more loving and caring about dogs than I am. I also have a bunch of energy and love to play with energetic dogs. I am also great with older dogs who would much rather take it easy. I have extensive knowledge in dog sitting. I used to work for Pups Pet Club and through the organization I’ve learned how to take care of dogs any size.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for longer than I can remember. Neighbors, Family, Friends, and over the years 5 of my own. I have schooling from vocational animal science, giving me good background knowledge of all types of animal care. I have partnered with Guiding Eyes For The Blind, I started my training with my pup Manny at 8 weeks old with the program. I have experience caring for all breeds of dogs from my time working at A Dog daycare and training facility. Animals are a huge part of my life I Would love to care for yours :) I am super flexible for pet care! I work from home currently as well as dog care so I would be able to provide full time care. I have a large backyard plenty of room to play enjoy fresh air! We do have a well installed run that’s spans the length of the yard and always let the dogs out leashed. We have a big low traffic area to walk the dogs in, a dog park about 5 minutes away. My two black labs are always hanging around in one of there many dog beds or hanging out on the run. Comets the older male super chill little guy gets along with everyone. Skylar is the younger female she’s timid at first but she warms up pretty quick she gets along with everyone as well.
