1. Katharine P.
“I genuinely believe that Katherine takes better care of my Pablo than I do. She's very thoughtful (sends him random cards and bow ties in the mail), caring and loving (he loves to cuddle with her more than he does with me). She pays close attention to his dietary needs and takes him out for walks around the park that put him out easily by the end of the day. I've seen her capture the hearts of all sorts of dogs; pitbulls, king charles cavaliers, golden doodles and more! So if anyone is truly capable of taking care of your pup, it's this girl.”
2. Sofia a.
“I highly recommend Sofia. She is extremely professional and a natural with my (2) dogs. They love her. I always know my dogs are well cared for when Sofia is in charge. I am so happy I found her.”
3. Juan H.
“I've been knowing Juan José for quite some time And I've seen how loving, passionate and patient he's with animals. I have also taken care of my beautiful buts that for me are so special that I would give them to anyone! But I know that with him they are more than safe, like at home! The semester is a very responsible person and resolves conflicts effectively! I totally recommend him, he is an excellent human being and an excellent caregiver!”
4. David S.
“David is awesome and has been caring for dogs since he was a kid. We have had 3 dogs of our own and most recently we have an 11 year old beautiful dog Jett—that we adopted when he was 1. David and Jett are inseparable. Our kids are older now and come for visits with their own dogs. It’s wonderful to have all 3 of them together in our home! David enjoys long walks with Jett and we frequently take him to the beach. He is a wonderful calm dog who loves people. David will care for your dog like his own! Dogs love him!!”

11. Gaylen N.
About: I’ve taken care of the many rescue cats and dogs in my group of friends for years, including my own beloved dog Beluga. After adopting him at 7 years old and providing middle age and end of life care for him, I know how critical support from your local community can be for pets of all ages, but especially senior pets. I am patient with pets’ special needs and look forward to being a part of their enrichment. I am currently available to take on new pets any day of the week! As my work schedule gets busier, I look forward to taking on last minute requests when I am available and cultivating ongoing relationships with local pet owners. I value the safety, comfort, and enrichment of all pets. I have experience taking care of my own elderly/special needs dog in my home for 5 years, as well as taking care of my roommate’s cats and making our home cat-friendly and pet-safe.
12. Troy W.
About: I’m energetic and always active, will play and care for the dog at any needed hour of the day. I have experience with many breeds and senior dogs who may need extra care. Flexible schedule. I’m a student, off for the summer, working part-time at a pizzeria. Most of my day times are free and some days I am completely free! I have dog sat for three different houses, staying the night and providing any service asked of me. I have two dogs at home as well.
13. Alexis S.
“Alexis is great! My dog loves her!!”
14. Brian S.
“Brian was so great with Frankie, providing lots of photos and detailed updates after every walk. Professional and very responsive. Highly recommend!”
15. Paige H.
About: I have taken care of many different dogs before. My family has a golden retriever. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with dogs! I am back from college and looking to help with any dog sitting needs. Available for most of the summer and can help with watching your pets! At my house we have a fenced in yard. Preferably I would like to care for your dog at your home and can do whatever is needed.
16. Patrícia C.
“Patricia has been the absolute best! She is responsive and trustworthy and I always feel safe with her watching my cat and dog! She goes out of her way to take my dog on walks and always sends great updates and photos! You can trust her to treat your pets like her own.”
17. Mackenzie M.
“Mackenzie was prompt, caring and very communicative! I greatly appreciate her taking the time to care for my pup, she provided several photo updates and we look forward to walking with her in the future!”
18. Gina Z.
About: Hello! I am a full-time writer who works from home and adores both dogs and cats. I’m very active, so long walks/runs are no problem at all. I have a very flexible schedule that allows for frequent interaction, play, and cuddles with your pet(s) and I will treat your fur babies like they are my own! I’d love to add a dog to my family, but I travel far too much at the moment, so taking care of your pet is truly a honor and a privilege for me! I also have extensive experience with cats and I would be very happy to care for your feline friends as well. I am able to administer medications, and able to handle pets with anxiety/other behavioral issues (within reason). My schedule is very flexible so I am able to dedicate plenty of time during the week/on weekends to your pups and kitties. I also love talking long walks/runs and very happy to bring along your pet. I have a cat so I prefer to board dogs that get along or at least tolerate cats, but I have a few different rooms, so if necessary, they can be separated for most of the visit.
19. Haily G.
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
