Thank you so much Kelly!! You’re the best and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your patience with my shy older baby. If she came out to see you that tells you how great you are with animals. Thank you so much!

About: I have experience with a variety of dogs, cats, and other animals. I love animals very much!! I don’t currently have any animals, so it would bring me joy to spend time with your beloved pet. I am a highly (emotionally) sensitive individual, and I pride myself on reading animals’ body language and cues. I am extremely patient (I am a teacher) and it’s extremely fulfilling for me to build relationships with animals. I would describe my personality as careful, deliberate, kind. During the summer, I’m very flexible! I volunteer a couple hours per week, but the rest of my schedule is flexible. Once the school year starts again, I’m usually available in the afternoons, or on weekends. In a client’s home, I am respectful of their space. I can follow any instructions given, and I am quite detail- oriented and cautious. I’m a double-checker by nature!

Josh has been amazing with our pups! We had an emergency and needed someone asap. Josh responded and accepted our request within minutes, for a next morning request. He took the time to learn each dog’s needs and is always very communicative during the visits. Our dogs are HUGEEEE, so it’s not easy to just trust anyone with them. I’d definitely recommend Josh to anyone and everyone. He’s our go to sitter!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them never feels like work—it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve spent a lot of time with pets and I love getting to know their individual quirks and personalities. Whether it’s a playful pup, an older dog, or a cat, I take the time to connect and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy. I believe pets deserve our full attention and respect, and that’s exactly how I approach every visit. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m here to make that easy for you. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and give them the care they deserve! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I do work part time but I’m able plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully available and focused during each visit or walk, and I always allow time for travel, play, and updates to pet parents. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening cuddles, I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need—no rushing, just quality time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to keep their pet comfortable and stress-free. I take time to understand feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions so everything stays consistent. I make sure pets feel safe, respected, and loved in their own space—whether that means going for a walk, playing, or simply being a calm presence. At home, I have a dog who I adore. Caring for him daily has taught me how important it is to give pets the attention, structure, and love they need. I make sure he’s well-fed, gets his favorite treats, and always feels included and cared for. That same level of care is what I bring to every pet I look after. Cleanliness and communication are also important to me. I keep things tidy and will always give updates with photos or notes, so owners know their pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve got a dog of my own who’s not neutered and definitely a handful on walks — pulling, tugging, and always wanting to say hi to every dog in sight. But she’s never gotten loose, because I know how to stay calm and in control. I’ve trained her myself from day one — sit, paw, lay down, give hugs, even whisper — so I’m super comfortable working with different behaviors. I’ve handled all kinds of dogs, and I genuinely love them all. Whether your dog is strong-willed, shy, or full of energy, I’ll treat them like my own and make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for. Starting June 16th, I’ll be working part-time at a summer camp from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM every day. I’m available to come by and walk your dog or visit your pets before camp in the mornings and after camp in the afternoons. Outside of those hours, I’m flexible and can arrange visits as needed. I do have 3–4 vacations planned throughout the summer, but I’ll always give plenty of notice and communicate clearly about any days I’m unavailable. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. On walks, I stay alert, use the right gear, and handle all kinds of dogs — even strong pullers or reactive pups. In your home, I follow routines closely, keep things secure, and treat your space and your pet with total care and respect.

About: Ever since college, I’ve enjoyed pet sitting small lap dog size to giant Great Danes. I first started to find a running buddy and then it turned into a fun job for me. It even helped me buy my wife her engagement ring! I own an aussiedoodle who is always active and have learned quite a bit through dog ownership. I’ve helped several folks nearby and in various cities and can provide references. I work as an at home teacher so my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to provide drop ins, dog walking, and house sit so your pets can feel safe in their space. I’m very good at following directions and leaving spaces the same if not better than I find them. I plan to communicate as often as requested and am willing to help with clean up.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life! I grew up with a senior dog and cats in their late teens, and then got puppies and kittens that I’ve taken care of for over a decade. I’ve watched pets for friends and family, and while I’m new to professional pet care, I’ll treat yours with the same care I’d treat mine. I can fit pet care into virtually any time of most days. I’m a college student home for the summer, so I’m not very busy! I’m very gentle with my pets, and I like to treat them like a friend rather than another type of entity. I respect their boundaries and comfort, and like to see what would be best for them in any given moment. I’m always respectful of other people’s homes, always respect house rules, and am super careful of others’ property.

About: I have many years of quality animal experience, starting with caring for my own family farm animals when I was small. I quickly grew a passion for animal care - caring, training and competing with a myriad of animal species throughout my teenage years. I routinely provided in-home and on-farm care for local family pets and animals and I learned many valuable skills from basic care to emergency care and wound management and perhaps even more importantly, animal behavior - how to work with an animal’s unique personality and tendencies rather than against it. These skills I’ve used in my adult life as I continued working with animals and in the veterinary medicine field as an assistant. Now, as I continue my education and further my professional life, it is my goal to bring my experience into the lives of pets that need love and care while their owners are away! I’m currently a student and working part-time, so while I will do my best to be flexible for the needs of your pet, I cannot provide full-time (live-in) care. I can do regular drop-in visits and spend ample time with your furry friend during the week days and weekends. I may occasionally be available for more extensive weekend pet-sitting, so if you need it, feel free to ask and I’ll do my best to accommodate! Help me give your pets the routine they are used to with detailed instructions of how and when you normally care for them! Typically, I prefer to give your pet care every four hours to ensure they are staying busy and quiet while you are away. I can adjust this schedule as needed. I feed and water as needed and determined by you and am able to give medication. I will gladly care for young to senior animals.

About: My name is Ashleigh! I’ve always had a love for animals of all different sizes and breeds and species. Dogs are my favorite. They genuinely make me feel better and I love seeing them happy and enjoy seeing them have fun. I’ve had experience with dogs since birth, honestly. My dad had a chow mix named Bear and I loved him so much. My family has always had a dog. I moved to Connecticut in 2011 and I moved in with my uncle who owned a German shepherd and I quickly fell in love with her. I took her for walks, fed her, took her to parks, etc. She quickly fell in love with all of the attention I gave her. My uncle now has 2 German shepherds that I go over and bathe and help take care of when he goes out. I have experience giving out medications to dogs as well. As my uncles first German shepherd needs medications for her hips daily. I would love to get to know your pup more! And help in any way I can! Thanks for reading 💜 I currently work full-time Monday-Friday. I’m available to care for your pet after work on the weekdays or fridays after 1 and Saturday and Sunday or on any major holiday! I have a fenced yard but it doesn’t enclose the whole yard. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is wonderful for walks. And my puppy would love to play with yours!

Kyungmi Nadia took such great care of our cat while we were away! She started taking care of her when she was high needs right out of surgery. Great communication with us the whole time. We always came home to a happy, very well cared for kitty. She took the time to make sure her litter box, food, and water dishes were always clean. We had adorable pictures everyday, and she even brought our mail in! I really could not have asked for a better caregiver for our kitty!! We trust her 100% and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, and trustworthy sitter for their pet!

About: Growing up dogs have been a huge part of my lifestyle and household. Having owned 8 furry friends in my lifetime, and 1 being a cat, it’s hard not to pick up on their language 😂. Especially with the energetic Pomeranians my mom’s side loved. Aside from this experience, family, friends, and neighbors have regularly relied on me to take care of their pets while they’ve been away. Approaching every dog I see in public has become a mission of mine and it makes my day interacting with high energy animals! Trust when I say the pleasure is mine! I currently work part time, Sunday-Wednesday. On Sundays I’m out of work at noon, and on the weekdays I work I’m out by 2pm. Thursday-Saturday my schedule is most flexible. I do like to stay busy so I prefer advance notice, earlier the better. Last second bookings are possible, just less guaranteed. I have a few packs of treats that I keep for dogs. The brands I’ve purchased include Old Mother Hubbard, WholeHearted, Zuke’s, Good Lovin’, etc. I usually mix it up because some dogs are surprisingly picky. Let me know of any medical problems or dietary needs. I’ve dealt with many unique medical concerns. Some examples include pets requiring doses of medicine each day, restrictions on physical activity, and ones with anxiety. Let me know any accommodations or special needs, I will follow! I also have a couple toys just in case.

I love going for walks, playing in the yard, and I would be happy to make trips to the local park or dog park!

About: I'm a lifelong dog owner that frequently pet sits for friends and family. I'd love to welcome your dog(s) into my home and give you the piece of mind needed to enjoy your trips, vacations or any other assistance you need while knowing your dog is in great hands and being treated like family! I provide frequent pictures & updates. Your pet's safety and well-being is my top priority and they will get tons of love and attention in my home. With four dog lovers in the house there is always a lap to cuddle in or someone to play with! A meet and greet before accepting your dog into my home is required to make sure all the pups will get along well - I have a Frenchie that is a couch potato and lovebug and also a Boston Terrier who is more high-energy and always wants to play. I work remotely so I am home all day with my dogs. I will take your dog out as often as needed, provide daily walks and ample attention and play time. I provide overnight care or daytime boarding in my home where they can play with my friendly dogs, or drop-in service during the day and evenings in your home. Your pet will always be closely supervised, provided with walks, outdoor potty breaks and inside play with my family and dogs. I have two children aged 10 & 12 and two medium sized dogs that love playtime (and naptime)! Feeding time is supervised and separate from my own dogs and if I need to leave home for any reason and the dogs will be left alone they will be left separately from my dogs and for short periods only. If you would like me to do drop ins I can provide that service as well. Happy to accommodate any needs or instructions! Before boarding your dog I will meet with you and your pet for around 20-30 minutes in my home and can also meet with you prior to providing drop-in or dog walking services as well.

She has done an excellent job when watching my 2 dogs and it’s a great feeling when I don’t have to be worried knowing they are in good hands. Arianna is a genuine and friendly dog sitter while also being professional. You want her to care for your pets!

Christopher is one of the most caring and attentive pet owners I’ve ever met. He constantly thinks about his dog and cats and how to best care for them and make them the happiest they can be.

About: I have many years of quality animal experience, starting with caring for my own family farm animals when I was small. I quickly grew a passion for animal care - caring, training and competing with a myriad of animal species throughout my teenage years. I routinely provided in-home and on-farm care for local family pets and animals and I learned many valuable skills from basic care to emergency care and wound management and perhaps even more importantly, animal behavior - how to work with an animal’s unique personality and tendencies rather than against it. These skills I’ve used in my adult life as I continued working with animals and in the veterinary medicine field as an assistant. Now, as I continue my education and further my professional life, it is my goal to bring my experience into the lives of pets that need love and care while their owners are away! I’m currently a student and working part-time, so while I will do my best to be flexible for the needs of your pet, I cannot provide full-time (live-in) care. I can do regular drop-in visits and spend ample time with your furry friend during the week days and weekends. I may occasionally be available for more extensive weekend pet-sitting, so if you need it, feel free to ask and I’ll do my best to accommodate! Help me give your pets the routine they are used to with detailed instructions of how and when you normally care for them! Typically, I prefer to give your pet care every four hours to ensure they are staying busy and quiet while you are away. I can adjust this schedule as needed. I feed and water as needed and determined by you and am able to give medication. I will gladly care for young to senior animals.

Sandy was wonderful with the drop in visiit for Gia. Despite the bad weather she got her outside and hung out while she played with my other 2 dogs! I will definitely use her again!

Kyungmi Nadia took such great care of our cat while we were away! She started taking care of her when she was high needs right out of surgery. Great communication with us the whole time. We always came home to a happy, very well cared for kitty. She took the time to make sure her litter box, food, and water dishes were always clean. We had adorable pictures everyday, and she even brought our mail in! I really could not have asked for a better caregiver for our kitty!! We trust her 100% and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, and trustworthy sitter for their pet!

He took great care of Mika and made sure that there were no ticks on her after the walk. Besides that, Sowatey was nice, friendly, and took note of Mika’s personality around other dogs

I am happy to write this testimonial for Taylor as a dog sitter/walker. I have known Taylor for a long time. Not only is she is extremely conscientious, considerate and kind but she is a nurse. She is always willing and ready to help those in need. That is where I come in. She has taken care of my own dog, Chloe (who loves her) so I can say with the upmost certainty that I trust her and you will be lucky to have her take care of your pet.

Sabrina has been watching our dog, Jake for years! He gets beyond excited when she comes for visits with him while we are away and we never have to worry that he is being well-cared for! Sabrina will also send us texts with pictures of him relaxing and smiling. He may like spending time better with Sabrina that he does his family. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter!
