“Emily was wonderful with our pups and cats! She housesat for 5 days/nights and took great care of everyone and everything! She sent us texts and photos and asked about things that might be concerning, like one of our cats who has cherry eye (I hadn't mentioned it, as I don't really think about it and he hid in our initial visit) and she was concerned that he might have gotten his eye scratched. Very thorough and sent me a text of her perception of their personalities....spot on!! The dogs LOVED her too! I would use her for petsitting without hesitation! Extremely trustworthy young woman!”

“Grace is very good with our Clover. Daily walks and exercise/ play are Clovers favorite. Thanks for taking such good care of her and communicating promptly with us .”

About: I had a maltese puppy for 10 years from age 9 weeks onward and most recently had a shih tzu puppy that turned 1 on 5/28/25.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 16. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I am comfortable taking dogs for long walks around the neighborhood or to the dog park, and I have stayed in home as a pet sitter. My family has a dog and I am involved in her care and play time on a daily basis. I have a very flexible schedule and have lots of time for your pup. I am available for late morning and afternoon walks and playtime. I have an energetic 60 pound dog. I am used to walking a strong dog and can easily handle a dog that may pull. I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood and/or play in your yard. I will work with whatever routine your dog is accustomed to.

About: For the past 10 years, I have taken care of cats and dogs together within my household. I currently have three cats and three dogs, a part of my household which were raised from puppy and kitten to adult and senior cats and dogs. I am used to early morning and evening walks with my own pets and am currently free at any time during the week and weekends. I understand their need to run and be outside.There is plenty of time for daily walks and drop ins for your pets! I usually go to our pets home where they are most familiar and comfortable. I would not risk blending their pet environment to avoid possible issues.

“Courtney was very communicative and sent a ton of cute pictures while she was watching my puppy! I feel very comfortable with her, and would definitely use her again.”

About: My husband and I have been passionate dog lovers our entire lives, caring for dogs from childhood all the way through adulthood. We understand the bond between dogs and their owners, which is why we treat every dog like a part of our family. From playful pups to senior companions, we’ve always provided a loving, safe, and comfortable environment for our furry friends. With years of experience, including administering medications when needed, you can trust that your dog will be in the best hands, surrounded by love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs! I work from home Monday through Friday, from 8am to 6pm, so I'm always available to care for your pet throughout the day. I’m only gone for short periods, like running errands or attending appointments, but I’m always close by and quick to return. Your dog will never be left alone for long, and I’m here to give them constant attention, playtime, and love while you’re away! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priority, and I’ve made sure my home is a perfect place for them to feel at ease. With a fully fenced backyard and a dog door, your pup can come and go as they please, enjoying the fresh air and outdoor playtime whenever they want. I’ve created a cozy, fun space where your dog can feel right at home, whether they're chasing their tail outside or lounging indoors. It’s a secure, loving environment where your dog can relax, explore, and have a blast!

“It was a pleasure meeting Anna! She was wonderful with both of our dogs! Aiden has a heart condition and Anna did research regarding his diagnosis so she could understand his unique needs. She was very insightful and asked a lot of questions while taking notes.We were very impressed with her. So glad we found her! We Would highly recommend Anna.”

“Jordan was fantastic. During the Meet & Greet, she asked all the right questions and it was very clear from the start that she is a professional who takes dog- and house-sitting seriously. We had her watched three large dogs for a full day and everything went smoothly. The dogs loved her and she kept us informed of how things were going. My daughter (two the three dogs were hers) also had high praise for Jordan. We will definitely seek out her services when we next need someone to watch Gracie.”

About: I have hands-on experience working on two different farms and Hamden CT’s brooksvale park (all throughout high school) , where I cared for a wide variety of animals, including everything from dogs&cats - cows & sheep . I’ve kept close contact with multiple repeat costumers I’ve built lasting friendships with house sitting/dog walking for. These experiences taught me how to read animal behavior, stay patient, and provide attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. In addition to pet and house sitting for friends and family, I grew up with four pit bulls in the house and learned how to care for them as pups aswell as in their old age. I Have had smaller pets like hamsters and guinea pigs and currently have my own small dog with a big personality I love very much (side note I can take professional photos of your dog if you’d like) I recently graduated from art school(studying fashion design) and am currently looking for work related to my degree. In the meantime, dog/house sitting and walking fits into my open schedule I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I stay attentive to feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection (including belly rubs and treats if allowed!). I’m also happy to accommodate any special routines, medications, or care instructions to make your pet feel at home

“Archie was an amazing cat sitter for my two babies!! This is my first time using a pet sitter for my cats. I have a senior girl who was just recently diagnosed with IBD and requires a special diet and daily meds, and a rambunctious kitten who will do his darndest to be the cutest troublemaker you’ve ever met. Archie was amazing to work with, has extensive experience working with cats, and made me and my partner feel at ease! If you are looking for someone to watch over your feline friends, Archie is the best! I will definitely use them for future bookings.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have owned dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve also had cats for over 10 years, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give every pet. I understand that each animal is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to provide the care they need. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners peace of mind through reliable, loving care and regular updates. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week for visits, feeding, playtime, walks, and companionship. I make it a priority to stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s a quick check-in or spending extra time giving your pet attention and affection, I’m committed to providing reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, playtime, and any special care needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so I can provide care that feels consistent and reassuring. I also make sure pets always have access to fresh water, receive plenty of attention and affection, and remain secure while I’m in the home. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for both your pet and your home. I treat every home with respect, keep owners updated with messages and photos, and strive to provide dependable care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
