Pet Sitting Dixwell

About: I have had 4 cats and 2 dogs throughout my life. I absolutely love animals and grew up pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors!! Grew up with all kinds of pets, my personal specialty being feisty rescues. Love them all and happy to accommodate special care instructions!! I am a full-time grad student, so morning and evening visits are preferred - although I can often accommodate one lunchtime visit during the week! I care for pets in the clients home only, as I have a temperamental rescue cat at home that isn’t trusting of other animals. I am happy to accommodate special care instructions for all kinds of animals and will be sure to give lots of love every time I visit! Feedings, walks, litter pickup, play time, etc. (:

“Jen was so wonderful with my cat, Eloise! Will definitely be booking with her again if I need pet sitting in the future. Very careful and attentive with my somewhat temperamental, sassy kitty! Thank you Jen!!”

“Jaqueline did an amazing job watching our cat, Juniper! I was nervous to leave Juniper while we were on vacation but Jaqueline made me feel so calm and confident. I got adorable pictures everyday and an update. Jaqueline was wonderful to work with and took great care of our little Juniper!”

“Gabriela was wonderful with drop in visits for our dogs during recent travel. I felt comfortable knowing the dogs were well cared for by someone who was kind and understanding of their particular needs.”

“Lorelei was wonderful! She did a meet and greet with the kitties before her check ins and spent extra time with them to make sure they were entertained and cared for. It was such a peace of mind to know they were well cared for while I was away. Will be booking her again!”

About: I have had animals my whole life… big dogs, little dogs, cats, all of the above! I have been responsible for watching them for everything, ranging from overnight trips to midday walks and meals. I am a responsible, loving, and attentive sitter who will have the most fun with your pet❤️ I currently work a 9-5, so am free early mornings and nights. I am also open to weekend walks and over night visits, depending on your needs! I will abide by your household rules and preferences when watching your fur baby! Can do everything from feeding, playing outside, walking, and even just providing them some company!

“Emily dropped in once a day to check on our two cats for several days while we were away. She is EXCELLENT with communication. We never had a doubt that our cats werent getting enough love with Emily. 10/10 would ask Emily to cat-sit again! Thanks Emily!”

“Carole always leaves detailed descriptions of each visit and takes the best photos. She is so thorough and I appreciate the affection she shows our cats. I have booked with her for over 8 trips now throughout this year and will continue to book with her.”

“Alyssa always provides our cats with the best care! She has really gotten to know each of their personalities and needs. I feel a lot better when we need to go out of town now that we have found Alyssa to help!”

“Jessica was very accommodating with my relatively short notice trip. One of my cats can be very shy but he felt comfortable enough to come for most of her visits. Everything looked great when I returned home. I would definitely use Jessica again!”

Courtney D.

“Molly was a pleasure to work with. She quickly befriended our typically stranger-averse Shih Tzu and provided quality service. Molly was communicative and flexible - we will absolutely book again!”

Anders B.

“Sophia was a wonderful sitter, communicative and flexible and caring even amidst a blizzard. We’re grateful for all that she managed on behalf of our pet and home and would highly recommend her!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, especially cats. Over the years, I have become the go-to pet sitter within my friend group and regularly care for my friends’ cats while they are away on vacation. I also grew up informally pet sitting for neighbors and friends, giving me experience caring for pets in a variety of home environments and routines. I currently care for my own cat, Reami, a 3-year-old Ragamuffin whom I have raised since he was a kitten. Reami has anxiety-related health issues that can contribute to urinary tract problems, so I am very familiar with providing attentive, patient, and consistent care for sensitive pets. Because of his needs, I understand the importance of maintaining a calm environment, monitoring behavior closely, sticking to routines, encouraging play and enrichment, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. In addition to caring for Reami, I have also helped care for my roommates’ cats in the past, including feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and general companionship. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable caring for cats with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments — from shy and anxious cats to highly social and playful ones. While I mainly prefer cat sitting, I also have some experience with dogs, including walking friends’ dogs and taking them on hikes and outdoor outings. I am happy to provide patient, attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality and comfort level. As a sitter, I prioritize communication, reliability, cleanliness, and making sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. I am a graduate student whose lab is only a 15 minute walk away from home. My schedule is extremely flexible and except for few meetings throughout the week, my schedule is fully up to me. I am also able to leave at any point for short breaks to take pets out for walks/ check up on them. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I understand that pets — especially cats — can be sensitive to changes in routine, so I do my best to keep their schedule and environment consistent while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, exercise, and any specific routines or preferences. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for. As the owner of an anxious cat with special care needs, I am very attentive to pets’ behavior, comfort, and stress levels. I value patience, cleanliness, reliability, and making sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved.

“Mikayla and Justin are simply great. They took great care of my dog Thelma, who can be very skiddish as she is a rescue. Mikayla and Justin spent ample time letting Thelma warm up to them before taking her out for a walk. I would 10/10 recommend them for any pet care and I will definitely be booking them again for Thelma!”

“Beyond amazing. Jassmyne is sooo flexible, she was so kind to our girls and home. She exceeded our expectations. Her communication was excellent. She was punctual and helpful with all the food/attention each dog needed. If you are looking for a sitter, stop! Jassmyne is your girl!”

“I had an outstanding experience with Lee. When my scheduled sitter canceled Lee was available at the last minute to provide coverage for my fur babies. Lee provided the time, attention and affection to my Dino, Poppy & Trish. Lee took best care and followed my instructions. Even went above and beyond to tidy up before I returned. Thank you so much Lee - I know they were the happiest bunch to have you.”
