House Sitting in Centerbrook

“Jessica was very attentive to our 13 yr old dog, making sure he was well fed and got his multiple medications. She kept us updated with videos and photos. He was happy to see us when we got home but I think he also missed Jessica!”

“Kat did a wonderful job! Our dog loved her, and we received lots of photos and updates throughout our trip. As an added bonus, the house was spotless when we got home. Highly recommended!”

“We are so grateful for the care our home and dog received during the five days we were away. Lauren was responsible, thoughtful, and treated Grace with genuine love. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house, which tells you everything about the level of care she provides. Communication was great and we always felt at ease knowing everything was in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter.”

About: I’ve worked on farms and worked with multiple animal types from dogs to goats. I’m accustomed to schedule planning and checking everything off each day and night. I am open in the afternoons and I work in the early mornings. I am quite flexible as long as I have prior notice. I do work a full time job aswell. I have a very relaxed home as I have my own puppy and she has full ranged of the entire apartment. She is fixed and potty trained.

“We are so happy with Kristen as a sitter for our 2 pups! She is experienced, attentive, and professional. Our dogs and house were in perfect form when we got home, and our dogs were not stressed at all. We look forward to using her regularly and having peace of mind when we go away.”

“Mark and Michelle were fantastic with all three pets. We have unique circumstances - a very old cat, a very old dog, and a very young energetic dog. Mark was so good at working with each of them, and is a natural with animals. From a logistics point of view, he was extremely easy to work with. We set up an appointment to meet before the sit so he could see the house and meet the pets. We knew immediately he was a great sitter. He was on time, and communicated well while we were away. Very high recommend.”

About: I've taken care of aniamls since I was 3, I take of my friends and neighbors animals, to give feed them and walk them and bathe them.

“Kathryn took great care of our 2 beagles while we were away. I know they'll miss her. She even swept up(they are messy) and cleaned off the kitchen counters. We would definitely request her again, in fact we already did.”

About: To be honest, when I was a child I had a deadly fear of dogs. That was until my mother forced me to go to exposure therapy (yes she made me go to a club where they sat you with over ten dogs. Here, I fostered a love for them, and learned a lot about them. They need activity and they also need rest. They need a lot of attention but they reciprocate with fierce loyalty and unwavering love. I would love to help a family continue to give their dog the attention it deserves so they can also live their lives! I am a new college graduate looking for a full time remote position. The job market is competitive and I expect to be unemployed for at least a couple months. I have full time availability and will always have weekends. Let me help full time workers right now while I am figuring out life! My anxious dog requires a lot of attention and ensuring comfort. He gets lots of outdoor time and plenty of exercise in the morning, lunch, and night. He is fed twice a day with a mix of dry and wet food. I work on his tricks with him at least once a day! I also have cared for cats throughout my whole life. Fostering kittens, feeding them, cutting and administering pills for my disordered baby! Additionally brushing my animals, playing with them, and knowing when to give them space. I love my animals and have spent my life ensuring their care!!

About: I’ve shared my life with both cats and dogs since I was a youth. I am equally comfortable with tiny lap dogs and large, powerful breeds. I understand the different energy levels and handling requirements each size needs. Whether your pet is a playful pup or a senior cat who prefers a quiet companion, I adapt my care to fit their unique personality. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to make pet care a top priority throughout the week. I am currently available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, ensuring your pets receive consistent attention and exercise. My routine is built around being present and active, so you can rest assured your animals are getting the dedicated care they deserve. Safety is my absolute priority. During visits and walks, I maintain a vigilant eye on your pet’s surroundings and behavior. I ensure all doors and gates are securely locked upon entry and exit, and I always double-check that water bowls are full and the environment is hazard-free before I leave. I provide frequent updates and photos so you can see firsthand that your pet is safe, active, and happy. I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own two dogs.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs who need more focused care. I have 4 dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable around animals and understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently work Monday through Thursday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I’m still available for pet care before and after work. Friday through Sunday are my preferred days, as I’m completely available and able to spend all day with your pets on weekends to give them plenty of attention, care, and company. I care for pets in my client’s home by following all instructions closely to make sure pets stay comfortable and keep their normal routine. I always communicate with owners if I have any questions or concerns, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. I also keep owners updated with messages and pictures so they can feel confident their pets are safe and happy.

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, cats, rabbits, chickens, ferrets, turtles, frogs, iguanas, ball pythons, Burmese pythons, freshwater aquariums, and saltwater reef systems. Over the years, I've cared for animals with different temperaments, feeding requirements, and daily routines, and I am comfortable following detailed care instructions to ensure consistency while humans are away. I have experience administering medications to dogs 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.

“We felt incredibly comfortable with Sharon from the moment we met her. Our dog, Bella, is usually slow to warm up to new people, but she bonded with Sharon right away! We had absolutely zero concerns having her stay in our home as an overnight sitter. Sharon sent regular, reassuring updates and took outstanding care of Bella. We will definitely use her services again in the future!”

“Roger is a fantastic dog watcher. We were away for 10 days and had Roger watch our two greyhounds in our home. We received daily photos of our dogs — walking, at rest, sitting, at attention, being happy — very happy. Also, the house was well cared for and was just as we left it. We plan on using Roger on a regular basis. Having him to depend on will give us more freedom and peace of mind.”

“Sophia had great communication with me before, during and after her stay. My pup was THRILLED with her and I'm sure that's because she was given love and attention. My instructions for the home were followed perfectly and it was left in pristine condition. I would definitely book with Sophia again!”

Pamela H.

Sarah P.

“JoAnne was fantastic!! She was super friendly and enthusiastic with my pups, and they really seemed to enjoy spending time with her. JoAnne was easy to communicate with, and left my house in tip top shape. I will definitely be asking her back, and highly recommend! :)”

“Cayton did a wonderful job house sitting for us for a long weekend recently. She took exceptional care of our 10 month old, energetic yellow lab. She texted pics and updates throughout the day and she kept to our schedule. Our pup was happy and smiling, playful and having a great time with her fairy godmother! Cayton picked up our mail and newspapers and the house was just as we left it upon our return. We enthusiastically recommend her and look forward to hiring her again!”
