House Sitting Clinton

“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.”

“Caroline was amazing! We got many updates and photos while we were away. It was nice to see our pets so happy and being taken care of so well! She also took very good care of our house. We came home to it being very clean and tidy. Caroline followed all of our instructions and our two weeks away were stress free!”

“Alea was incredible while she watched our dog Piper for 4 1/2 days. She took great care of Piper, checked in with us the perfect amount, and left our house cleaner than she found it. Alea is friendly, punctual, and an overall pleasure to deal with. We would welcome her back to our home anytime.”

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 20 years old. Friends, family members, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide overnight care for their beloved pets. Growing up, I had a poodle and gained experience caring for a variety of other animals, including fish, turtles, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, and rabbits. This lifelong experience has taught me how to understand and respond to the unique needs and personalities of different animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same attention, patience, affection, and respect that I would give my own. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and responsive, and I'll make sure your pet receives excellent care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Right now I am available anytime and on the weekends. In September I will be available on Monday Tuesday morning before 10 and after one; Wednesdays all day; Thursday in the morning before 10 and after one; and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all day. I will play with them in your home. Make sure they’re comfortable and happy just as if they were my own. I will also take them on walks and cuddle with them.

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was a kid, having grown up with two dogs and being part of their care from puppyhood through old age. I've looked after both dogs and cats for neighbors and families to whom I've provided childcare, and for the past year, I’ve regularly walked dogs housed at a county animal shelter. This has been such a rewarding activity and has increased my comfort in interacting with animals with a variety of temperaments. I'm an active person, so I’d love to get outdoors and moving as long as your pup is up for it! If necessary, I can bathe your pet and administer oral medications; if instructed may also be comfortable with injectables. I’m so excited to meet a new furry friend! I’m beginning medical school in the fall and am looking to establish some house/pet sitting relationships while my schedule is super flexible this summer! I love taking long walks and would love company from your pup, but I’m also happy to stop by and hang out with your pet in your home if that’s preferred. I’m available to stay overnight in your home if you’re traveling and need longer term help, too. I will be pet sitting in your home and want to fit into your pet's daily life as seamlessly as possible, so I'm happy to do whatever makes them happy! I'm an active person so whether your pet is high or low energy, I can cater to their needs.

“Vincent was amazing with our two anxious dogs. He was patient, caring and kind. He kept us informed daily as to how things were going. He is a fantastic pet sitter and human!”

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. My husband does come along with me to meet and greets and appointments when he is off work. 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.

“Roger has been great with a very nervous pit bull mix. I had tried other dog walkers and sitters that have not worked out. Roger is very caring and treats my dog Whiskey like his own. He is calm and patient with Whiskey. I am so happy to have found someone that can take care of him that I trust. He stayed at my house so I could get away and everything went really well.”

About: I'm who you call when your dog needs to run around and tire themselves out, or when your cat needs to curl up with someone in the sunlight! I grew up taking care of my lovely cockadoo Otis, as well as going on runs with my step-family's energetic black lab and golden retriever. In the years since, I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I love learning every pet's specific needs, schedule, and energy levels. Excited to meet you and your furry friend exactly where you need! I'm currently working remotely as a writer, so I'll have plenty of time for your pup or your kitty. My schedule is usually quite flexible, and unless I'm out of town, I can make last minute calls work! My own dog was a rescue from the streets of New York City, and we worked very hard to slowly build trust with him, to the point he became the most affectionate dog I've seen! So even if your animal is skittish, I will happily mind their boundaries while showing them all the love I can. I also prioritize an animal's safety above all else, and am extremely attentive to what mischief your pet might be getting up to.

About: Ever since I was a kid, I've always had a dog in my household. I enjoy the excitement and fun times that I share with them. I am a very loving, trustworthy, and respectable person to others and especially animals! Without having a dog in my everyday life I feel incomplete. I am known to consider animals feelings over people in my life, simply because animals are harmless creatures that just need to be loved and taken care of. I'd love to share my free time helping out others in the community by taking care of their own fury friends when they are unable to. I have two dogs myself and they are a very big part of my life. One goes to work daily, while the older boy stays quiet at home. I take daily walks for some good exercise and fresh air. I have a fenced yard and two very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby comfortable. I can easily crate if need be. I have plenty of space for exercise and separate areas for feeding.

This consistent routine allows me to provide high-quality care while balancing other responsibilities. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets. In my home, I maintain a secure, clean space with pet-friendly amenities. When in clients’ homes, I follow their routines and safety guidelines, ensuring pets feel at ease and cared for in familiar surroundings.

“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: Hello! I grew up with large dogs and upon moving out from my home have had dogs, fish, and cats ever since. I have cared for large dogs, small dogs, and cats for over 20 years. I currently have three incredibly friendly and easy going dogs, including a remarkable Labrador retriever pup. I am currently retiring from a career in federal law enforcement. I am available most days and nights for your pets care. I understand the importance of pet diets, exercise, and socialization and make it a priority. My home is my pets home. We have a large 1.5 acre invisible fenced in yard surrounded by woods and a long front yard away from the road. The other dogs tend to stick together and my lab puppy learned the yard by just following around our German shorthaired pointer and older mastiff. Any other questions just ask!

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 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.

“Candice was wonderful and I could tell that my dogs were well cared for and happy. I will definitely use her again.”

About: Hi, my name is Halle, I am an 24 year-old English teacher and an experienced pet-owner who loves dogs. I have owned dogs my entire life and I have plenty of experience taking care of my own dogs as well as many others. I am very used to doing drop-ins, dog-walking, and providing dog care in my own home with about five years professional experience now. I love dogs and have spent my entire life around them so I know how to handle them in different situations. I am available virtually anytime on the weekdays during the summer and anytime on the weekends, depending on my other work schedule. I have experience training puppies so I know how energetic they can be! Hopefully I can provide you and your beloved pets with whatever services necessary. Thank you! I am working part-time at the moment so my schedule is very flexible and I can be around to take great care of your dog whenever! I have a very friendly and energetic young dog who loves to sprint at the beach and throw the ball in the backyard. I would love to provide the same level of activity for your pup and if boarding, there’s plenty of room in my home to separate my dog if yours prefers to be the only pet.
