Top rated Clinton cat sitters
“Kacie was super! From the drop-by visit to meet my cat and learn routine through the check-in photos after, she was so professional and caring. And though I didn’t expect my shy cat to even come out from under the bed, she visited with Kacie from the first day on. A kind gentle vibe that made my cat feel comfortable.”
“Katherine was great with our kitties! They both love her and she instantly made our shy baby cat feel comfortable (she even got some cuddles with her!!) She’s easy to communicate with, responsive, and respectful of our space. Thank you Katherine!”
“Vincent was a very attentive sitter and took great care of our cats. One of our cats got sick while we were away. He was in close contact with us regarding his condition and also reached out to our vet to get their advice. I can highly recommend him as someone who can be trusted to look after your pets as he would his own. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him as a sitter again.”
“Holly M. is amazing! She is the best pet sitter I have ever hired. It is very clear how much she loves animals and how much mine love her. My dog is initially apprehensive around new people, and Holly knew exactly how to handle it. She is so friendly and easy to work with, and she is reliable, trustworthy and she goes way above and beyond. Lulu can't wait to see her again! I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Carley, thank you for your excellent care of our two kitties, keeping up with our big boy's meds, getting our shy girl to come out and enjoy time with you, giving them loving attention, and managing their food/water/litter. Much appreciated & will contact again when we need coverage. Thank you!”
About: I am a trained pastry chef, and have worked in the industry for over 15 years. As much as I love working with food, animals are my heart. With my business degree, I have decided to start my own dog walking business and I absolutely love it! I have been doing it full time since August '23. Experience: I have three labs of my own from 4 to 12 years old, and two indoor cats. I'm very active and love walking my dogs, taking them for hikes, cooking for them, and all around making sure they're happy. I currently have several client's pups that I walk multiple times per week, sporatically, or while they're on vacation. Please send me a message with details about your needs so we can chat more! I have several years of experience of volunteer dog walking from the SPCA. I earned a Pet First Aid and CPR certification through the RECOVER Initiative (Reassessment Campaign on Veterinary Resuscitation), created by Cornell University of Veterinary Medicine. I am a dog walker full time, though I limit the amount of clients I take on so that I can be flexible and available for the ones I have. Currently, I am looking for a few additional long term relationships with pups and their parents who need routine pet care M, T, W, Th and/ or Friday, at least 1 day per week. I service within a ten mile radius of Westbrook, including Old Saybrook, Essex, Clinton, Killingworth, Old Lyme. I tend to take care of pets from 8 am to 5 pm, but am available later or earlier at times, and on weekends on occasion for my regular clients if need be. I am very flexible when it comes to overnights and extended stays for regular clients, and am usually available with plenty of notice. Ask me about me about my *special* routine client rates! Can't wait to hear from you! Every pup and kitty has their own, individual personality/ways of communicating and I am here to take the time to understand them from your perspective, while over time learning from them as well. I value consistency and trust building with animals, and am looking forward to gaining a friendship with a member of your family. When it comes to walks, I am most comfortable using a harness if they tend to be pullers, and if they are, will work with them using gentle, verbal and reward oriented methods I've found effective on my own dogs.
About: I've taken care of small and medium dogs since I was in high school. I have some experience with senior dogs. Walking, bathing, playtime, snuggles During the week I am working from 9a until 1p. And I am available both Saturday and Sunday for boarding your pet in my home. I have a spacious ranch style house and 3 friendly kitties. We have a spare bedroom for your pet to have a private, comfortable stay
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my hands-on experience and deep understanding of canine care. I’ve worked in a professional kennel, which gave me valuable insight into dog behavior, health, and daily routines. At home, I care for my own large German Shepherd, so I’m comfortable handling big, high-energy breeds. I’ve also regularly watched my sister’s dog and other dogs, both short-term and for extended stays, so I know how to create a safe, comfortable environment that feels like home. My combination of professional and personal experience means your dog will be treated like family—with structure, love, and attention tailored to their needs. After working with animals and having my own dog I wanted to incorporate that into my life, so I have plenty of time to hang out and take care of your puppies. I am available throughout the day and would love to spend time with your loved ones! I have a very friendly German shepherd at home, who you are more than welcome to meet, and I walk him multiple times throughout the day and your dog will be able to join us. I also have a crate if you want your dog to be in the crate I also have the ability to do that.
“Sarah was wonderful with my cat Zephyr! Z isnt quick to love new people but it is clear that Sarah has the patience and kindness to get her to open up! 100% will be booking with Sarah again!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 6 years old, ranging in all different sizes. I find it imperative to treat all dogs as if they were my own. I’m currently a full-time fourth grade teacher who is looking for a part-time job during the week days, weekends and whenever I have a holiday break. Currently I am available for drop in visits or dog walking during the week anytime after 4. However I am free for both of these services at anytime on the weekends. I will certainly have more days and hours available during school breaks, as I will not be working. I have a fenced backyard with one Labrador retriever. He is friendly and always makes me smile! I love taking him on walks, however he is still learning how to walk. So I am very patient and understanding!
“Mackenzie was great watching Potato, Yoshi, and Lola. She was very accomodating and kept in contact while I was away. I definitely recommend Mackenzie if you are in need of a pet sitter!”
About: Hi There, My name is Christina. I was a micro farm manager for four years. I grew up surrounded by animals in the litchfield hills on a miniature horse farm.💙Maremma mom forever. I have years of sitting experience with elderly dogs and medical needs. I also have grooming experience. Some minor professional dog training experience and lots of time and success with anti-social/aggressive dogs. It's more than just loving animals. It's dedication and intelligence about their care, habits, and nature. It's being sensitive and aware of them at all times. It's experience and passion. I haven't lived a day that isn't with and about animals. As an artist and a real estate agent, my schedule is entirely my own. It's whenever is needed for my clients. Even if it's just a quick visit, I can make it happen! It's important to get a full profile understanding of my client and their pets so that when they are in my care, I can give them a seamless experience from their owners to me. The most important goal of caretaking is to offer true relief to my clients. Personally, I can hardly be separated from my Koda, so it's beyond clear to me the significance of having a caretaker who listens, remembers, and that is undeniably trustworthy.
