“Jillian was so kind! I needed someone last minute to walk my dog and she was awesome. We have never had someone stop into the house we hadn’t met before and could not have picked a better person. Nora was well taken care of and I was worry free. Thank you!”

“Amanda was so great with our dog, Emmie. She communicated from the minute she arrived, took pictures while on the walk and made sure our dog was safe and happy. We will definitely be booking with Amanda again!”

“Autumn has been great. She always leaves such fun photos, comments, and videos. My dog truly seems to enjoy her company and gets some quality time out while I am away. Thank you for all the care, Autumn.”

About: I have been asked to take care of dogs/cats while family have been out of town on many occasions I have 3 of my own cats and niece and nephew cat (yes) lol also two puppers that are family a newphie and great Pyrenees. Animals are my family and I feel happier with them than I do with people. Depending on location I can be available when needed. I work from home I can be flexible as long as I am communicated with in a timely manner As I have three cats I wouldn’t be able to bring any other pets into my home as they are rescues who have severe anxiety and to keep my fur babies safe I would ask that they be respected and I can only make home visits. Thank you !
About: I’ve been a dog walker in my local neighborhood since I was about 12! I’ve had experience walking small dogs and larger dogs. I also have experience taking care of cats, rabbits, and other small animals. I’m currently a student at Charter Oak State College. I have lots of free time, so I have no trouble fitting into your desired schedule! Since I live in a house currently, I have a completely fenced yard and live fairly close to a dog park! I also have senior dog experience, so I am used to administering medication as needed.
“Laura is amazing. She was a godsend when I was visiting CT and needed help with the dogs. Great walker and wonderful with the dogs care. When we had a potty accident she not only helped but also brought chicken, pumpkin and rice for my fur babies to help him get over his sick tummy. Can't beat her attention or ability to handle multiple dogs at once.”
About: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Over the past few years, I’ve gained hands-on experience helping with everything from daily walks to administering basic medications. I’m comfortable with high-energy breeds, shy pets, and those that need a little extra patience. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m available for pet care on weekdays after 4:30 PM, and fully open on Saturdays. On Sundays, I’m free starting at 1 PM. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or sitting, I’m happy to help during my open hours! At my home, dogs have a secure outdoor space to explore with a rope lead connected to the house, giving them room to roam safely. I also have a crate available if needed. My 8-pound Pomeranian is very friendly and loves being around other dogs, making your pup feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine closely, provide regular updates, and ensure their pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment.
