“Jessica is extremely reliable, did everything we requested, & was able to quickly win the trust of even our most skittish cat! Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Jennifer was amazing! We were worried about someone new in our home and that our cat would be comfortable with, but we had nothing to worry about. Our cat was friendly and curious with her and Jennifer was very communicative and gentle with our shy little one. I can’t recommend Jennifer enough to pet parents!”
“Patricia was fantastic and absolutely the right person to care for our four kitties while we were away. I’m a Rover sitter myself, so I have high expectations - Patricia met every one. She sent frequent pictures of the cats looking happy and healthy, receiving love and getting play time in. She was responsive to our texts and followed every instruction to a T - and I left her a seven page document with instructions, LOL. so it was a lot for her to do/remember but really she executed flawlessly. She left our home in the same condition she found it, which is a key hallmark of a great sitter, in my opinion. She also took out the trash and retrieved mail and packages as asked. I would enthusiastically recommend Patricia to any cat parent looking for someone kind, communicative, and responsible to care for their fur babies!”
“Kyle was phenomenal. She treated my kitties and home like her own. She had stellar communication with photos twice daily. So happy to have found someone so trustworthy, reliable and amazing.”
“Shannon was on time, sent me pictures during her visit and was a pleasure to work with. I would hire her again.”
“Absolutely the best pet sitter! Highly recommend. Our cats warmed up quickly and we had tons of photos offering us peace of mind about the kitties and our home.”
“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.”
About: I’m experienced with High energy breeds and dogs of all temperaments. I have cared for a spirited German short haired pointer daily since she was a puppy, ensuring her exercise and play needs were met to support her older owner. I’ve also cared for various needy dogs, tailoring playtime to their unique energy levels whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys. Beyond exercise, I provide plenty of cuddles to make dogs feel loved while their owners are away. My goal is to provide your dog with the same love and attention that you do! My schedule is mostly flexible. I am able to accommodate weekday bookings and weekends with advance notice. I can also offer holiday care when requested. I have experience with dogs that have a tendency to pull on the lead during walks. I have learned the best way to handle this is to shorten the leash, offer positive affirmations and treats for good behavior. Tell me more about your dog so I can ensure they will be safe!
About: Hi! I’m Eryn-your dogs new favorite walking buddy! I’m a lifelong dog lover who genuinely enjoys staying active, so long walks, playtime, and keeping up with energetic pups are right up my alley. Whether your dog is big, small, shy, or super playful, I’m confident and calm handling all kinds of temperments-even those who might come off a little strong at first. I’m strong enough to manage large breeds and gentle enough to make even nervous dogs feel safe and loved. You can count on me to treat your pet like family, giving them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve! I’m currently a college student and offer dog walking services full-time during my seasonal breaks-Summer and Winter. During those times, I’m have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for walks, drop ins, or longer visits. I’m naturally nurturing and attentive to every pets needs-whether it’s making sure they’re fed on time, responding to cues when they need to go out, or simply giving them affection and companionship. I stay aware of each dogs body language and behavior to ensure they feel safe, secure, and cared for at all times. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet with the same love and attention id give my own :)
“Raelynn & Sean were so nice and so sweet with my girl. The communication was great. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again.”
About: I have a large yard fully fenced in and a large home for your dog to hang out in! I have two rescue dogs that are like my children who love to play with new doggie friends! I love to play with them in the backyard and give them all the snuggles. I grew up with dogs and even as a child I walked dogs to earn extra money, I will treat your dogs like my own because they too are part of the family and deserve to be treated as so. From over night care or walking your doggies or just check ups your pup(s) they will have the best time with my and my babies! Can’t wait to care for a special part of your family!
“Susan did an excellent job taking care of my cat and home while I was away for two weeks! She and my cat were fast friends and I returned to a clean home. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Sarah was an excellent dog walker. Gizmo looked forward to her arrival each morning. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have been an animal lover since I was a little girl! I can remember hand-sewing clothes for my cat and pushing my little dog in a toy stroller like a baby 😂. I’m a passionate and responsible pet caregiver based in Amston, CT. I’m available for dog walking and drop-ins. My experience includes dogs off all types, but I currently own a Husky and a Great Pyrenees who keep me on my toes! Prior to them, I’ve owned both small and big dogs alike, from chocolate labs to Pomeranians. I love ALL animals and will love and care for your four-legged friend like it was my own. I am a pediatric nurse who works 3 days a week. On the other 4 days I would love to spend some time with your furry baby! I will take care of your pet like it was my own. My pets are totally spoiled and well loved, but there’s always more love to go around!
“Savannah could not be more responsible — she was communicative, self-starting, intuitive, caring, neat/clean and smart. I often remarked to her (during the 6 weeks she cared for our cat and home) that she seemed unflappable — No situation was an issue (and the home had a couple situations that could have been) Highest recommend for this Uber responsible individual.”
“Andrea visited with Josie this past weekend for a little playtime with Josie. Josie is all about playtime and Andrea always comes through.”
About: I have always had a passion for animals and wildlife. As an experienced former veterinary technician with a degree in Animal Science from the University of Vermont, I stayed true to passion throughout my career. Twice a week I volunteer in the animal clinic at NEAS, the local animal shelter. During the spring, summer and fall I work on the beach as a Conservation Biologist. My love of animals and especially dogs started when I was very little, and continued through my adult life, until I finally got my own little love. Having a high energy German Shepherd means I am used to breeds of all sizes and exercise requirements. My dog and I live a very active lifestyle, with frequent runs, walks and trips to the woods and beach. Even though we live in an apartment, we still make time to stretch our legs! I hope I can help you do the same for your dog. I provide walking services, house visits and medication or fluid administration if needed as part of the pets daily regiment. I am able to walk your dog during the week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (anytime from 9-5) for 30min-1hr (whatever is best for your pet!). Cuddles, kisses and hugs are free of charge! I get just as much joy out of it as your dog does.
“Angelina did drop in house visits for our cat and dog. She was very responsive and caring for them. The first time we've left our dog home while on vacation, as she tends to get sick after a kennel stay due to nervousness and very shy. Such a relief to come home and have her be happy and not sick. Definitely would recommend and have Angelina to drop in visits again.”
About: As the saying goes “distance makes the heart grow fonder”. Well with being 300 miles away from my fur babies, I would love to show that love to yours. I have over 10 years of experience dog/cat sitting with a wide range of sizes and abilities (I have 150 Bernese and a disabled cat back in Ct). I am currently a senior at psu so my classes are extremely light I am extremely greatful for. I go for atleast a 3 mile walk everyday so a fur baby fits perfectly into the routine! I live in a beautiful spacious apt with no pets and huge grass area a little down the street. For my cat parents I have high and low surfaces throughout the apt for different cat preferences.
About: I've had three dogs and one cat in my life! The best parts of my days are spent throwing the ball or going for walks with my pups! I am currently in school and leaving my full time job, have lots of extra time to spend playing with and caring for your animals! I am very aware of my surroundings, always triple checking before completing a task, and love to keep things clean and organized to make for a smooth interaction!

“Tyler took amazing care of my dog while I was away for a long weekend. My little one is reactive and a big puller. I was very impressed with Tyler’s patience as he was able to safely take her on 2-3 shorter walks per day. Not only did Tyler make sure she had enough exercise, but he also made sure she had plenty of love and cuddles. She was so sad to see him leave!
