“Alyssa did a great job of taking care of our two cats. She made sure to put food and water down for them. and clean out the litter boxes. I hope to use her again on our next trip.”

“Mary took great care of my cat over the weekend. He's usually very shy, but she got him to come out and sent the cutest pictures. She was very kind, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process stress-free.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a natural love for caring for them. I have a 6-year-old dog of my own, who is a very special part of my family. I truly enjoy connecting with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I’m excited to provide your pets with the same love, attention, and care I give my own! I’m currently a full-time stay-at-home mom and work part-time occasionally on weekends. Because of this, my availability is primarily in the evenings during the week, as well as during the daytime on weekends when I’m not working. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both you and your pet! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. Safety and trust are very important to me, so I’m attentive to my surroundings, make sure doors and gates are secure, and never leave pets in an unsafe situation. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own home.

About: I have volunteered with a dog rescue for the last years working with a variety of different dog breeds, ages, sizes, and behavioral issues. I also have 2 years of basic obedience dog training through that rescue, especially working through behavioral issues such as fear and reactivity. I also currently work as a Doggie Daycare Attendant. I currently work part-time as a doggy daycare attendant. I have 3 of my own dogs, as well as a foster dog. My mother in law lives with my family so there is almost always someone home, especially so for potty breaks. All of my dog remain crated while unattended. Potty breaks as as frequently as needed, especially with my senior dog. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have long leads for outside and dogs are never left unsupervised outside.

About: I have experience with high-drive breed puppies, elderly couch potato pups, and everything in between. I provide undivided attention and care to your animals. Whether it be a walk, a drop-in, or a visit to keep them company, I care for them like I would my own. I work full time, typically 3-11pm with flexible days off. I am completely available every day before 2pm and have flexibility in the evening hours if coordinated in advance. I am available for multiple visits a day even on days I work. What better way to spend the day than taking your pup for a walk or keeping your cat company? I'd love to! I am happy to care for your pet in their home where they're most comfortable. I work as a police officer and deeply value integrity and security. I do have an older pitbull and a shepherd puppy at home should your dog want a play date!

“Christine visited my cat, Hewie, while I was away. She fed Hewie, played with him, and just generally made sure he was ok. Christine sent me pictures every day as well as text updates. Christine made my first experience with Rover super easy and I’ll definitely book with her again!”

About: Hello! I’ve always been around animals my whole life and have 2 dogs of my own currently due to losing my oldest this past year. Nero is a 9 year old husky/ Doberman/ lab mix and Opie is a 1 year old golden retriever. I have experience with pet injuries, health complications, and administering medications such as insulin injections. Dogs are my entire life and your fur babies will be loved and well taken care of like they’re my own! I work in the Old Saybrook school district and have time off, when I’m available to help with drop ins, dog walking, feeding, and medications. I can also collect mail and help with odds and ends when owners are away! I wouldn’t be able to bring animals into my home, due to one of my dogs having aggression towards other animals. However, I am available to stay in your home overnights.

“Cierra has been nothing short of awesome. Great communication, on time, and goes the extra mile. 5 star for sure!”

About: I'm currently the behavior manager for our dog team at Our Companions Animal Rescue. I work at our sanctuary where I manage a team of competent handlers and I work with reactive/aggressive dogs. I'm currently working on getting my CPDT. If you hire me, I promise your canine companion will receive the care, compassion, patience, and attention they deserve. I'm generally always free Sundays and Mondays. I do work full-time Tuesday to Saturday, so my availability is somewhat limited. I can provide my dog walking/activity assistance after 4pm on those work days, except Fridays. Due to my long history and experience working with dogs, I have the ability to read dogs very well to detect if they are anxious, fearful, or uncomfortable. My goal is to make sure your dog gets exactly what they need, whether it's a certain activity they enjoy, training they need, or a certain destination they love for their outdoor time. Positive reinforcement is the name of the game.

Many people are very satisfied with my care! Im great with following schedules and making pets foods exactly how they prefer it! My routine is largely based off my college schedule! I will take jobs such as drop bys and walks during the week after my classes, which currently end around 2 at the latest.

About: A forever-friend of animals and pets of all sizes. Experienced, friendly, reliable and flexible. Looking forward to meeting your pets and providing care and companionship for your loved ones. I am pursuing a degree part-time and have a flexible work schedule. I am centrally located in Middletown, CT and am willing to drive within about an hour of there to provide care. I like connecting with you and your pet before sitting to develop rapport and to get an understanding of their routines. I like to mirror the way you provide a safe environment for them within your home. This offers a sense of consistency and calm in what may sometimes feel like a stress-inducing situation for your animal. Their safety and health are the priority while they are under my care.

“I found Charles to be a reliable, considerate, intelligent and dedicated Individual. He helped me out when I needed someone trustworthy to look after my pet. I would recommend him to anyone.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and other animals since I was a little kid, and for others for about 5 years now. Whether it is training or just hanging out, your pets needs are always met. I work from home with a pretty flexible work-life balance, which means I am able to meet any time-specific needs! This makes your pets my number 1 concern. Your pets safety and well being is my utmost concern, and with the years of experience under my belt, you can be rest assured that your pets are safe.

“Kejda was great and so good with our puppy! I felt comfortable and trusted her with her and Roxie had a great time. 10/10 would recommend & have her watch our animals again!”

Shannon C.

“I couldn’t have been happier with Isabel! She took amazing care of our cats and went above and beyond what we expected. She spent so much time with them during each visit, giving them plenty of attention and making sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. She also watered our flowers, kept everything neat, and even vacuumed around the house before her final visit was over. Coming home to happy cats and a clean house was such a nice surprise. It was obvious she genuinely cared about our cats and treated our home like it was her own. Completely reliable, thoughtful, and far exceeded our expectations. We’ll absolutely be using her again and would recommend her without hesitation!”

“Gave my dog great care and love!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I have been pet sitting for a little over five years now! I currently have my own pets: two cats, and a dog. I have a few families whom I sit for regularly. I have had experience caring for puppies-senior dogs with special needs, diapers, and medications, as well as kittens-senior cats! My whole life I have been caring for pets of my own, as well as those of friends and family. My boyfriend has been sitting with me for well over 4 years now and has a lot of experience caring for many different animals. We have helped a few families out with training as well so that they can stay as close to their normal routine as possible! I’m currently working full time at UConn, but my boyfriend is working remotely. This being said he would be able to provide plenty of potty breaks throughout the day. We can both provide walks and plenty of play time morning and night as well! I am very flexible with whatever routine you would like me to follow for your fur babies! Personally, I have an electric fence for my dog at home, but I still go out with her, as she does not like to be alone! Although my cats are indoor cats, they LOVE being outside, so on nice days I will take them out on a leash and sun bathe with them!

“Kelsey was fantastic! I needed a new dog sitter last minute so we could go to a wedding that night, and she not only accepted the job, but came over in the afternoon for a lengthy meet and greet. My 1 1/2 year old pup is 75 lbs and very strong, and I had no worries that she could handle him even if they ran in to other people and dogs on their walk. Rocky took to her right away, and we were able to relax and have fun at the wedding. Thanks Kelsey!”

“Jordan was great in every way! She took excellent care of Zane and he warmed up to her immediately! He can be a bit shy but he clearly loves Jordan. I’m so glad we found Jordan and we’ve already booked another drop-in visit!!”
