Orion and Alex were very kind and professional when I reached out about drop-in visits with Collins. I had never worked with a pet sitter before, and they were very gracious about all of my questions and the detailed instructions I left. Orion provided updates and pictures for me each time he and Alex visited my apartment, and they took the time to try and socialize with my sweet, yet somewhat, standoffish cat. I definitely plan to book time with Orion and Alex again!

Kyle is the best! She LOVES animals. It was difficult for me trust someone I just met to come into my home and take care of our two cats that are part of our family. Kyle’s warmth and attentiveness toward Leopold and Maximus put my mind at ease. We are really glad to have met Kyle and will be utilizing her pet care services in the future.

About: I love animals & have had many--from turtles & fish to cats & dogs & goats. Its such a pleasure to tend to them & just be with them. I'm super responsible & your pet will be my priority the entire time you are away. It will be such fun! Experience with older dogs & cats as well as special needs dogs & cats :) I am a freelance worker which gives me ample opportunity to accommodate to your pet's and your schedule needs. I have a very flexible schedule. Since I myself have had stay-in-sitters for my pets; I know how important it is to have a truly attentive & responsible sitter in order to relax while you are away. While you are away I will ensure that your pets daily feeding, walking & companionship needs are met. WE will have such a great time together!

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: 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!

About: I’m passionate about helping dogs and their owners. I’ve worked with several rescue dogs and understand the special care and attention they need. I recently had my own personal foster pup find her forever home!! Now, I have the time to assist other dog owners with walks and daily routines. Whether you have a busy schedule or just need an extra hand, I’d love to help keep your dog happy and active. Let’s connect to discuss how I can support your pup’s needs! I have a masters degree in social work and work in an elementary school! I love working with kids and giving back to communities. Although, that does make me unavailable for the furry friends until 4/5 pm M-F (depending on your location). I have full availability on the weekends. I can do mornings M-F depending on your location and time. Please message me with any questions or concerns. I am flexible and happy to work collaboratively to figure something out! I always keep the safety of your pet as my top priority, making sure they’re secure and comfortable at all times. 🐾 I also believe in giving each animal an active and fun experience, whether it’s through exciting walks, playtime, or adventures that keep them engaged and happy! 🐕💨 Whatever you might or might not be comfortable with, please communicate that with me! . I am flexible and happy to work collaboratively to figure something out!

About: Hi, I’m Taylor! I'm an animal lover, Bengal cat mom, and experienced caretaker who understands that pets are family. I specialize in caring for cats of all personalities and needs, from shy seniors to high energy kittens. As the proud owner of a Bengal, I’m well versed in handling curious, clever, and sometimes chaotic felines. I’ve raised two dogs from three months old, so I’m familiar with the structure and routine dogs need & thrive on. My own pups go outside to play at least three times a day, so visiting dogs can expect a similar rhythm: regular outdoor time, a calm indoor space with lots of toys, and plenty of attention. As long as they’re good with cats, they’ll fit right in. I’m available for drop-in visits almost anytime: mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Whether you need someone to stop in for feeding, meds, litter scooping, or just to give your pets some company and care, I’ve got it covered. I treat every animal like my own and always respect your home and their routine. I work full time, but mostly from home, and my schedule is very flexible. I can easily adjust my hours with a bit of notice, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day for drop in visits, walks, or keeping a calm, consistent routine for pets staying in my home. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, whether I’m in your home or caring for pets in mine. I do my best to maintain your pet’s usual routine so they feel secure while you're away. In your home, I treat the space with care and respect, and I always double check doors, feeding instructions, and any special requests. At my home, pets have access to a quiet, structured environment with safe spaces to relax, regular outdoor time, and lots of attention.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors with both dogs and cats since I was 13. Currently I have two cats of my own, Puck and Toast and love to visit my parents’ three dogs! In particular, I’m great with shy and unfriendly cats. I am currently working remotely from home and make my own schedule, so it’s easy to fit your pet’s care into my daily routine based on their needs. Once I’ve given your pet some love and affection and tend to their immediate needs, I’ll do a quick sweep of the common areas to make sure there’s no mess and everything is exactly as you left it!

About: I’m extremely open minded to every case. There’s always a preference and an routine. I will make sure that I accommodate to everyone. I will treat your family with respect and wouldn’t harm them not matter the circumstances. I’m very social and verbal so I will inquire you on myself when we first meet. I aim for open communication and understanding. Thank you for allowing your trust of your child into my hands. If you have any personal car products (such as medical shampoos or food) be sure to let me know ahead of time and provide to me. I want to make sure you feel just as comfortable and safe in my home as you would wish for your family. Have a great day! Although I work I have a flexible schedule so feel free to let me know what time is best for you and we can work something out! I am quite playful when it comes to entertaining your pet, all toys located within the home for them are fair game! Let me know if any special games or toys that they have to create a unique experience for them !

Tiffany took incredible care of our animals while we were away. She was responsive whenever we contacted her for a check in and sent us so many cute photos of our happy dogs & our cat. When we arrived home, our dogs were so happy and relaxed it felt great to see. We could feel that they all had a great time together while we were away. Our house was also neat & organized when we got home...nothing messy or out of place. The whole experience was really a pleasure and makes us feel more comfortable going away now that we have a great pet-sitter and know our fur babies are well-cared for, safe and happy while we are gone. Thanks so much! We will definitely hire Tiffany again anytime we go away!

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! I would highly recommend Tyler- he will look after your dog like they are his own!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors with both dogs and cats since I was 13. Currently I have two cats of my own, Puck and Toast and love to visit my parents’ three dogs! In particular, I’m great with shy and unfriendly cats. I am currently working remotely from home and make my own schedule, so it’s easy to fit your pet’s care into my daily routine based on their needs. Once I’ve given your pet some love and affection and tend to their immediate needs, I’ll do a quick sweep of the common areas to make sure there’s no mess and everything is exactly as you left it!

About: I’m extremely open minded to every case. There’s always a preference and an routine. I will make sure that I accommodate to everyone. I will treat your family with respect and wouldn’t harm them not matter the circumstances. I’m very social and verbal so I will inquire you on myself when we first meet. I aim for open communication and understanding. Thank you for allowing your trust of your child into my hands. If you have any personal car products (such as medical shampoos or food) be sure to let me know ahead of time and provide to me. I want to make sure you feel just as comfortable and safe in my home as you would wish for your family. Have a great day! Although I work I have a flexible schedule so feel free to let me know what time is best for you and we can work something out! I am quite playful when it comes to entertaining your pet, all toys located within the home for them are fair game! Let me know if any special games or toys that they have to create a unique experience for them !
