“Laura was fantastic! We knew our babies would be in good hands as soon as we met her. She was kind, professional and thorough. We were able to relax completely while we were away knowing that they were well cared for.”
About: I’ve always been in a home with a variety of pets: cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, chickens, ducks, and hamsters. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician in the past, volunteered at pet shelters, completed a pet first aid class, and am completely comfortable administering a variety of medications. Your loved one is in gentle, skilled, and reliable hands with me. I currently am semi retired, but still working, so I am available on my days off. These days vary week to week, so please inquire in advance and I’ll do my best to help you with your needs. I would like to get to know you and your pet first, to provide the most consistent and reassuring care for your pet while you are away. Some pets prefer a slow, steady, gentle approach to bonding, while others are more exuberant and outgoing; much like people, it varies per to pet.
“Troy is terrific at this. My pup is timid at first, and Troy has had the patience and taken the time for her to warm up to him. He is trustworthy and reliable. I am never concerned about my pup when Troy is caring for her. Highly recommended!”
“Frances was fantastic with our two high-energy kitties. She immediately put us at ease and was super easy and nice to work with. She took great care of our home and pets. Trustworthy and friendly, she gave them lots of playtime and made sure everything was taken care of so we could enjoy our vacation.”
About: Retired police/military K9 handler who has spent a significant time in his professional career enforcing animal cruelty laws. Wide range of experience with all types of dogs and cats. I currently work a full-time job enforcing animal cruelty laws. Nearing retirement in July of 2027 I am available in early morning hours as well as evenings Monday thru Friday and anytime on weekends and holiday's. It is important to know your animals. They tell us when they are happy, sad and ill. Paying attention to the signs they give you is vital to a safe environment. Constant communication between the owner and myself is a pivotal step to ensuring these signs are not overlooked.
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own. I take time to learn their routine, personality, and what makes them comfortable. I’m very dependable and I know how important communication is, I’m happy to send photo updates during visits so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ve had animals in my life since I was five years old and have cared for a wide variety of pets over the years. I’ve always had my own dogs and cats. I’m very comfortable with different personalities and care routines. In my thirties I also worked with dog rescues, helping care for and support dogs in transition. While I stepped back from rescue work when my daughter was young, my love of animals has always remained a big part of my life. Because of this background, I’m very patient and attentive and understand that every pet has their own temperament and needs. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Because I keep my schedule manageable, I’m able to be reliable and consistent with visits, walks, feeding times, and playtime. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure each pet gets individual attention and care. I’m happy to work with owners to accommodate their pet’s normal routine and can often be flexible with scheduling when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel secure and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your pet’s routine and your home. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during walks and outdoor time, and I closely supervise pets to keep them safe. I’m attentive to behavior, appetite, and energy levels and will contact you right away if anything seems unusual. I’m happy to follow any detailed instructions you provide—feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, or special care. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. Having had animals my entire life and experience working with rescues, I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for a beloved pet.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love being around animals. I’ve also worked as a dog and cat sitter, helping with walks, feeding, drop-ins, and overnights. I’m very reliable and pay attention to the little details so your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, can help with basic puppy training, and am comfortable giving medications if needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make it a fun, positive experience, whether that’s a good walk, playtime, or just extra cuddles. I have a flexible work schedule and am able to fit pet care easily into my day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and some overnights (around my kids schedules), and make sure pets are cared for on a consistent schedule. I’m reliable and always plan ahead so your pet gets the attention and routine they’re used to. I always follow the owner's instructions closely, make sure collars/leashes are secure, and pay attention to any specific needs or behaviors. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. On walks I always pay attention to my surroundings to keep your dog safe. I'm not there to pay attention to your beloved dog, not get distractes by my phone or anything else.

She is about 2 years old and loves all dogs. I would love to bring her along with me to go on walks etc at your approval. I am currently a nanny part time and a part time student at SCSU.

About: I have taken care of a huge variety of animals in my career and I am very good with animals. For a very long time my friends have relied on me to provide the best care for their beloved pets.

About: Hello! I’ve always been around animals my whole life and have 2 dogs of my own currently. Georgia is a 11 year old boxer-pit mix and Nero is a 9 year old husky/ Doberman/ lab mix. I have experience with pet injuries, health complications, and administering medications such as insulin injections. I work in the Old Saybrook school district and have time off, when I’m available to help with drop ins, dog walking, feeding, and medications. I can also collect mail and help with odds and ends when owners are away! I wouldn’t be able to bring animals into my home, due to one of my dogs having aggression towards other animals. However, I am available to stay in your home overnights.
About: What sets me apart is my strong sense of responsibility and attention to detail. As a nursing student, I’m trained to notice small changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels that others might miss. I’ve been housesitting dogs of all sizes for the past three years, and I’m comfortable caring for both energetic puppies and slower paced senior dogs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication so pet owners feel completely at ease while they’re away. As a full time college student, I’m very organized with my schedule. This summer I’m off from school, so I’m available on weekdays and able to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I plan my days carefully to ensure each dog receives reliable walks, playtime, and attention without feeling rushed. During drop in visits, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress free. I follow all feeding instructions carefully, make sure fresh water is available, and provide potty breaks as needed. I also spend time giving attention, playtime, and affection so your pet doesn’t feel lonely while you’re away. I always check for any changes in behavior or appetite and will communicate updates with photos for peace of mind. For walks, safety is my top priority. I make sure collars and harnesses are secure before heading out and adjust the walk based on your dog’s energy level and needs. Whether your dog prefers a brisk walk or a slower, relaxed pace, I make sure they get proper exercise and stimulation. I return them safely, refill water if needed, and always send updates after the walk.
About: There has literally been zero times in my life that I did not own some kind of pet. I sincerely like being around any type of animal and their health and well-being and happiness is always at top priority. Currently, I have an open schedule to fit the needs of any routine. From just drop ins to over nights I can accommodate anyone’s needs. my home or yours. Safety and comfort are always the most important. I am extremely flexible and open to whatever is needed. Compassionate and caring 100% of the time.

East Haddam cat parents share their Rover experiences
Victoria is a delightful person and amazing animal whisperer. My cat went straight to V from the first visit, where as with most people and previous sitters he will ovoid and hide even people who have been to the house many times. On one occasion Victoria had to go the emergency room with her child and I could not believe that after being there for hours - she and her family came to our home around midnight to feed and play with our cat. If that’s not a strong recommendation I don’t know what is. Thanks Victoria for everything. We really value and appreciate you.
Fran is the best! She went above and beyond in taking care of our three cats when we were away. One cat was far from cooperative and she adeptly handled a difficult situation. I would highly recommend Fran as she is very responsive and cares for the animals that she is watching. Your mind will be at ease knowing that Fran is keeping an eye on things. :)
