“Jayna is a responsible house sitter who follows detailed directions thoroughly, and is very responsive. My 100 lbs hound is on 3 medications and needs specific attention. Jayna took care of him, my fish and my home exactly as I would have hoped while I was away with my family for a number of days. We would like to work with her again.”

About: As long as I can remember, I have been around dogs. My best friends growing up were a pair of black labs named Tillie and Jodi and my little jack russell named Widget. I grew up feeding, walking and caring for these dogs and I'll always consider them family. In my late teens I worked for Millstone Farmstead in Wilton, CT. There I cared for a variety of animals such as llamas, sheep, pigs, and chickens. I am very comfortable caring for and hanging out with animals (even if they are significantly larger than me like those llamas...) I am currently working as a freelance musician and audio engineer. My schedule is very flexible and I am open to making accommodations for clients. I believe in respect and transparency when it comes to being in someone else's home and especially when caring for their animals. I am happy to send frequent updates and abide by any and all house rules.

About: I've grown up with a variety of animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, and farm animals. Although I have little experience with pet sitting, I'm very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and cats. I'm currently working 2 part-time jobs as a barista, however I'm super flexible as my work schedule changes from week to week. Besides that I like to go to the gym and spend time with my chickens as much as I can. Around that I still have plenty of free time to start pet sitting. I love spending time and playing with pets, so a lot of what I would do is keep your pet company and engage with them as much as I can. With dogs I would play fetch outside if possible and with cats I would run them around with whatever toys they have. As well as, making sure the animals have enough food / water and keeping their home as clean as possible.

“Leonne was absolutely amazing with our dog, Meelo, for an overnight sit. She was extremely professional, communicative and clearly has a deep love for animals. My dog is large and high energy and she seemed confortable and confident. I came back to a very happy pup and a home exactly as I left it. I would not hesitate to reach out to Leonne again for a future sit!”

“Haley was amazing with our dog Frost! She was responsive and friendly. Haley took excellent care of him while we were away. She provided photos and videos. It helped us to enjoy our time away knowing he was being well cared for!”

“Penny has been our pet sitter - in our home, for multiple days, for a cat and elderly dog - on two occasions. She is reliable and kind and we would use her again.”

About: My love for animals goes beyond being a pet owner. Through my volunteer experience at animal shelters, I’ve gained hands-on experience socializing animals, handling dogs with different temperaments and needs, and administering medication when needed. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and that patience, consistency, and compassion are essential to helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or requires extra care and attention, I strive to provide a calm, nurturing environment tailored to their needs. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and responsible, and I understand the importance of following your pet’s routines and care instructions. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is receiving the same love, respect, and attention they deserve while you’re away. Your pet isn’t just a pet—they’re family, and I’ll treat them like one! At the moment, my availability is very flexible. I can provide service at any day and time. I’m local and can travel for clients. In addition, I’m very responsive. I like to make all animals feel at home by providing a relaxed environment. I have a fenced in yard. All animals should be loved and approached with patience.

About: Since I was young, I have been around various breeds of dogs. I have always loved being around other pets as well. I’ve pet sat for bunnies, cats, dogs, and turtles. I have taken care of dogs at my family home since I was 15 years old and I also took care of my own dog for over 13 years. I currently work full time from 8-5 on weekdays. I am free after 5 to pet sit on weekdays. I’m only fully available to care for your pet on weekends and usually Fridays after 5pm.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Maltese and Shih Tzu, and now I’m the proud mama to my big AmBully, Captain! That being said, I have experience with dogs of all sizes ranging from the tiny guys to the big dawgs and all age ranges. Additionally, I’ve worked with highly experienced trainers in the past with my pup Captain so I’ve gained knowledge that is transferable to all dogs. I love dogs more than most so I can assure you your pup will be in the best, most caring hands possible! Feline friends are always loved and welcomed as well. While I’ve never had any of my own, I’ve had many friends with cats and I love them just the same! My special interest is bully breeds (I’m totally not biased at all!) and especially older pups and pitties. I am also able to lift over 80lbs, so if your furry friend needs a lift I can make it happen. I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to care for your pets as needed and maintain as much of their regular routine as possible. I provide care based on the clients wishes! However you normally care for your pet I will continue that for you. If your pet needs crated, I’m happy to do so. If there are specific areas they aren’t allowed, I’ll make sure they stay out! If you have a specific place you like to walk, let me know and we’ll go! You tell me and I’m on it. I’m huge on pet safety and respect, especially when it comes to being outside. When walking, I’ll always keep them away from the road and from other dogs and humans that pass by. If there are any other things to be aware of (i.e. scared of bikes, likes to chase squirrels, etc) please let me know so I can be extra alert!

“Kristin was terrific. We needed someone to stay at our house to pet sit my daughter and her husband's dog while we vacationed with them. Their dog is a very sweet but sometimes precocious, energetic 3 year old golden retriever. Kristin did a great job! She's very friendly, experienced and caring. Most importantly she took good care of Shea, but the house as well. I definitely recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets while they’re away.

About: I haven taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14 years old, and have always had a dog or cat in my household growing up. I grew up with a 110 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback and now have a German Shepherd/Husky mix. I also have a cat at home and am comfortable taking care of cats. I have a lot of experience with dogs over 50 pounds and am comfortable with any size. I have had friends parents throughout high school ask me to care for their pets during vacation. I currently dog walk throughout the weeks for different families, and house sit often as well. I have included pictures of some of the dogs I have taken care of. I work from home and am very flexible when it comes to days and times. I am also able to work remotely from your home. My pet care is done in the clients home. I try to keep the pet comfortable in what they are familiar with in order to stick to their current routine as well.
