“Michelle did so great with Zephyr! We were so worried about having to leave him alone all day for the first time. He's only 8 months old, so we really needed to break up his alone time. I was so nervous, but Michelle made everything so much better! Zephyr had the best time with her and we are definitely going to have her back!”
“Ashley was great with our dog Stowe! He was super excited when she arrived. She is professional and kept in communication with me. Will be definitely using Ashley again!”
“Chase is great. He always sends a report card after each walk and several pictures of our dogs on their walk. The dogs always seem happy after their walks with him. One weekend we had an issue with the boarder we had planned to have our dogs stay with. Chase was able to help out on short notice. It was such a relief to know he was taking care of our dogs. We would definitely recommend Chase.”
“Thanks to Ashley and Mauricio's amazing dog walking services, Spence had a great July 4th weekend! We were a little worried about leaving Spence alone during the holiday chaos, but Ashley and Mauricio completely put our minds at ease. From the initial meet and greet, we realized that Spence was very comfortable with them, so we knew that we didn't have anything to worry about. Ashley and Mauricio are very reliable and trustworthy and great with communicating and keep us updated as to how things are progressing. We received adorable pictures and updates after every walk, letting us know how much fun Spence was having. It was such a relief to see Spence enjoying the holiday weekend just as much as we were. If you're looking for a dog walker who goes above and beyond, look no further than Ashley and Mauricio! We can't thank them enough for making sure Spence had a fantastic July 4th weekend. We highly recommend Ashley and Mauricio to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and fun dog walker!”
About: I used to volunteer regularly at an animal shelter where I had handled both cats and dogs. I have been dog walking since I was a tween, and always loved doing so! I love getting my own exercise in, so with your pup I’m sure they’ll be fully rested for the rest of the day after our energetic walk! I understand that pets are our family members! I am a huge animal lover and advocate! As of now, I am currently working freelancing and remotely part-time, therefore I have plenty of time to take care of your babies currently ! At my own home, I have my beautiful kitty Jinx. She is the sweetest and most curious cat. Together we like to cuddle and play with her favorite toys! (her new favorite toys are Wicked themed!)
“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”
“Alexandra is amazing with our new puppy Pepper! Pepper is always excited to go on walks with her. Alexandra is very responsive, responsible and reliable. She is very knowledgeable and is helping Pepper with different commands and to be more obedient on her leash. Would absolutely recommend Alexandra!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience and attentiveness, especially with young dogs and puppies. I’m experienced in helping puppies learn routines, channel their energy in positive ways, and feel secure when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, following your instructions carefully to keep their routine consistent. My goal is always to treat your pet like family—making sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m available after 4 PM on weekdays, as well as during lunch breaks for quick check-ins or walks. Weekends are much more flexible, so I can dedicate extra time for longer visits, play, or overnight care. This schedule allows me to give your pet reliable attention throughout the week When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as consistent as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I always make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their own space, and I give plenty of attention and affection so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe and cozy environment with supervision, play, and walks built into the day. I keep the space pet-friendly, and your pet will get the same love and care I give to my own
“Great experience working with Patricia! She got along with my dog Russell, my dog enjoyed his walks with her. I truly trusted her to watch over my dog while I was on vacation and felt really good about picking her as my dog walker!”
“So grateful to have Kat as our walker! She’s very reliable and very communicative, I don’t feel any sense of anxiety when I’m away because I know our girl is in great hands!”
About: Over the years, I have petsat for dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and, at one point, even chinchillas. I am a very social and comfortable person, and I don't mind when pets like cats or rodents need their space and despite that I will always be attentive. I'm a college student and I will be going back to university in the fall but nonetheless I can still petsit. I am also not free on friday evenings and saturday mornings, as I have martial arts those mornings and evenings. I have taken care of a lot of pets over the years and I don't mind when pets like cats or rodents need their space and despite that I will always be attentive. As for dogs, I have had one for ten years and he is very sweet and social. Though I do not have house-sitting open, my dog is very comfortable in my house.
“Sarah did an amazing job with my dog Pickle! She walked her, fed her, gave her water, and played with her too. She came right on time and sent me pictures and updates. I will definitely be using her again!!!”
About: Hello! My name is Haily and I've grown up with dogs. My 1st dog was Mickey, a German Short-Haired Pointer, and then my parents brought home Dozer - a Black Lab/Rottweiler mix, and now I've got Lilly Magoo - a Pit/Lab mix (: I have experience working with all types of dogs (including all sizes, ages, and a variety of different temperaments) and am comfortable with any breed, since they all have their own special qualities. I have yet to run into a dog that I didn't get along with. In my spare time I love to hike but have no problem being a couch potato so whatever your dog needs, I can handle it. I am doing my best to keep my calendar up to date and please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you want to set up a time to chat! I’ve recently moved back to CT and am in between school jobs so I have plenty of availability this summer to help with your pet care needs for house sitting, I'm always sure to be respectful of others' homes and make sure any pups have everything they need. I know it can be stressful for doggos when their humans are away so I also always keep that in mind and make sure they have all the attention they may need
