As an anxious dog mom, it was incredibly difficult to find someone I felt comfortable leaving my dog with, yet somehow Alea made it easy. She came to meet us before we left and spent time getting to know us and our pup. She was communicative, respectful of our space, and most importantly good to our dog. She checked in with photos and updates and even went as far as to bring him treats! I couldn’t recommend Alea enough and will certainly book with her again in the future.

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!

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 his fiancé stayed with our 8 month old puppy, 9 year old dog and our cat for 5 nights in our home. We couldn’t have been happier with his care. He sent daily updates, pictures, and videos. He is clearly an animal lover. Our home was well cared for and he shoveled the driveway after an unexpected snow storm. I was completely able to enjoy my vacation without a worry. I highly recommend Mark for in home pet care.

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.

Roger was wonderful. He stayed in communication with me the entire time we were away, sent pictures and left our home nice and neat. He went above and beyond in bringing in our trash and recycle barrels, mail and working to make sure our doodle was comfortable with him. We will definitely use again.

If we could give Bailey 100 stars, we would; she is absolutely incredible. Our puppy fell ill the night before we were going to leave. We considered canceling the trip, but she was so reassuring that we felt he would be in excellent hands. And he was. She took him to the vet, fed him ice cubes when he wouldn't drink water, and gave him his antibiotics when he wouldn't eat anything. All along, she kept us updated as she nursed him back to his usual self. Also, the house was spotless when we returned, far better than we had left it. Bailey is amazing!!!

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: 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.

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.

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!

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: 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: 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.

Our dog absolutely loved having Vincent stay over for three nights to watch her! She looks so happy in all of the frequent update photos that we received. When we got home, our house was spotless and Shiloh was happy and healthy. Will definitely be continuing to use Vincent for future dog sitting needs!
