Tommie was great! She went above and beyond to ensure my pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates with photos and videos, which gave me total peace of mind. She communicated very well throughout the entire process. Her genuine care made this an outstanding experience. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, look no further! I will absolutely be booking with her again.

From beginning to end, was not disappointed. I got alerts everyday when she arrived and when she left. Plus I had picture updates, which helped a bunch. ☆☆☆☆☆

We had a scare from our pups getting into stuff they shouldn't have. Kayla notified us, stayed twice as long as normal, contacted a local vet for advice, and implemented the medication we requested. We're so comfortable and relieved having her part of our support system!

Hannah is awesome. This may be the third or fourth time she has watched our pets. She does a great job of being on time and communicating everything that is going on. We highly appreciate her rover cards giving clear details of the visit and the care of our pets. She is great! Will definitely rebook again!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life—both large and small, long-haired and short-haired, male and female—so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, bathing, basic grooming, and administering medication when needed. I also have experience with cats, including feeding, litter box care, playtime, and respecting different temperaments—from very social cats to more independent or shy ones. I understand that cats often need a calm, low-pressure approach and consistency in their routine. In addition, I have mild but comfortable experience caring for small caged animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, and similar pets. I’m familiar with basic feeding, cleaning enclosures, and making sure their environment stays safe, clean, and consistent. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for multiple animals at once in a structured, high-energy environment. Outside of that, I’ve provided pet sitting for friends and family over the years, including in-home care where I followed existing routines and kept pets comfortable while their owners were away. My goal is always to treat every animal with patience and care, paying attention to their individual needs and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and looked after while you’re gone. I work a weekday job, but I have a consistent and reliable availability for pet care. I am off work at 4 PM Monday through Wednesday and available for evening drop-ins, walks, or care visits after that time. On Thursdays, I am off work after 1 PM, giving me earlier afternoon availability as well as evening flexibility. I am fully available Friday through Sunday, including daytime visits, extended care, and overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. I’m open to both recurring weekly schedules and one-time bookings, and I do my best to accommodate advance requests when possible. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is always safety, routine, and making sure animals feel as comfortable and secure as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as provided and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and stress levels. In my own home, I have a cat and a dog, and any boarding or in-home care would be done with careful introductions and only when it’s a safe and appropriate fit for all animals involved. I keep a calm, structured environment and prioritize supervision, separation when needed, and respecting each pet’s comfort level. In a client’s home, I respect the space, keep things clean, and maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel secure in their environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and doing well. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and small caged animals, and I always make sure litter boxes, enclosures, and feeding areas are kept clean, secure, and properly maintained. Safety is a top priority for me—I pay attention to doors, leashes, feeding instructions, and any behavioral notes so pets stay safe and routines stay consistent.

About: I've grown up taking care of cats and dogs. My professional pet sitting experience includes small and large dog breeds, as well as cats. I have a background in animal science and care so I am the ideal sitter for pets with high medical needs and elderly pets. I am willingly to take dogs on long walks or runs, and take them to the park. I am not certified, but I can do basic training (sit, stay, etc) and leash training. I currently work from home, so I am available at home 24/7. Great for pets that are potty training or need multiple play times a day. I abide with the rules and schedule of the owner. Not required, but I encourage a meet and greet for first time clients for care instructions and to ask any questions.

Aleksandra went above and beyond taking care of my two cats for a week at the last minute after my prior coverage fell through. I highly recommend her and she will be the first I ask should I need someone to watch them again.

About: I've taken care of my shih-tzu Maltese ever since I was 8 years old she unfortunately passed away and I now have a labradoodle. Family always depended on me to care for their dogs as well. Bathing, feeding, play time, walking etc... I was and still am the go to person when anyone needs a hand to dog sit and fulfill their dogs need when away for vacation or work. I now have a fluffy labradoodle whom I adopted from CA when he was only 4 months old in 2024. He is my best bud, loves toys, dog parks, new scents, walks, running aka sprinting lol, boarding, doggy camp, other dogs and lovessss humans lol he'll jump up on you and try to give you kisses but he gives the best hugs . I have worked at PAWS in Norwalk, CT, where I provided feeding, medication, walks and play time to the dogs in the shelter. I have also worked at Greenwich Animal Hospital as a veterinary assistant, assiting with blood draws, nail clippings, surgery, cleaning, X-rays, medication stocking, supply stocking, baths, obtaining specimens, sterilization of instruments, walkings, and vitals. I'm so excited to get to know some pup owners and of course the pups as well. Thank You!!! I care for my dog by allowing him to have as much play time he desires. Being his company makes him feel safe and having fun with him is my way of expressing my love to my fur baby.

Sydney was wonderful! She took great care of both my cats. One of my cats is very challenging and has to get oral medication. Sydney was patient and earned his trust. She followed all of my instructions and I knew my cats were safe and happy. I would highly recommend Sydney!

Alexis was amazing. Our dog has huge anxiety and can be freaked out when meeting people. He took to Alexis right away when she came to meet him. He was even sad when she left. Our cat is known to hide out but she even made a few appearances when Alexis checked in on them.

Briana is clearly an experienced animal caregiver and all of our animals (pups and cats) took to her immediately!! We have many animals, including a physically disabled dog, and we can be pretty high-maintenance when it comes to all of them. It is so important to us to have the peace-of-mind of a caring, capable sitter when we have to be away from our fur kids. We are so happy to have found her!

About: I'm a self-employed pet lover and dog sitter with lots of experience under my belt. I also work part time to make sure my family future is secure. While I don't have any dogs of my own, I will welcome yours with open arms and care for them as if they're mine! I live in a spacious, two story house and have ample room for your pet to play. My yard is fenced in and very secure. Since there are stairs in my house, dogs with hip or back problems may sleep downstairs. I keep a clean home. If it is a faint smell of dog pee, it’s because dogs do use the restroom on my carpet (I am a dog sitter and most dogs do so in my home, especially the “not so potty trained” ones). I make sure to clean up after every service rendered. Stays on day of pick up after 2 pm can occur additional fees. References are available upon request. About this sitter: I have been pet sitting for several years. I love all animals, especially dogs. I am self employed who work from home, which leaves me plenty of time to spend with your dog. I also have a part time job to make sure my family future is secure. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up around them and have been pet sitting for several years. About my yard I have a spacious, fenced-in backyard.
