“Did an amazing job in such short notice. Kept in close contact with us about when she got to our house and what was going on. Gave us pics to make sure all was right with our 4 dogs. We will definitely use her again.”

“I had a great experience with Anna! She took great care for my two kitties and showed them lots of love. I really appreciate that she was able take care of them despite my last minute request.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I have 2 dogs now - one senior who is slow and needs lots of care and the other is young and active. I’ve watched and walked dogs for friends and family for the past 20 years. I’d love to help you with your family’s furry friend. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I’m generally home on the weekends and love to take my dogs for long walks every day. I am available to come let your dog out, take your dog for a walk or jog, or whatever else is needed during the day.
About: Pets are my passion! I love all dog breeds and sizes, cats too. I have been a dog walker and pet care provider for over 10 years. Rest assured, your pets will get the exercise and attention they deserve. Stay up to date with your dog or cats well being with visitor logs and text messages. Currently I am looking for new clients in the East haven and Branford areas. I have a flexible schedule to meet all your dog walking needs. Message me today to set up a meet and greet at your earliest convenience. Honest, professional, and on time...I will be there for your pets rain or shine! I provide 30 min walks. Playtime, feeding, administering meds or mail pick up also available. SPECIAL RATES also available. Please inquire!
About: Ever since I was little, i’ve taken care of dogs that are stray as my own, i’ve raised my own dogs of many types of breeds including shitzu, pitbull, yorkie, etc. and i’ve known to take care of them in the serious moments when they’re sick and know how to handle medication, and in the best moments in playtime with non stop energy! At the moment, I am out of school for the summer and I am working part-time but with no set schedule, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your babies, and I offer drop-ins as well. Just send me a message and we can figure something out! We used to crate our dogs but we’ve recently stopped, but I can do that if those are your rules. I take care of my own cat switching her litter box every 1-2 weeks, feeding her 2 times a day, I brush her fur and have toys for her as well! With my dogs, they also get fed 2 times a day, they get walked most days, and they have their own grass potty area, and they have plenty of toys (lol).
“Olivia was fantastic! Don't hesitate to use her to watch any of your furry friends! She was quick to respond to any requests, very responsive and sent me pics of my dog each time she came. Highly recommend!!”
“Heather was AMAZING with my 2 puppies! I have never left them alone at home before overnight and after meeting Heather I knew they would be well taken care of! Heather went above and beyond with updates and pictures. I will definitely schedule with Heather again, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND her services! Saje and Jesa will her visits for sure! :)”
“I couldn’t have been more thankful for the service Bailee provided. She is a very caring individual and you can tell she has a love for animals. I felt relaxed and comfortable while being away from my fur baby. As this was the first trip I have been able to take I will be definitely rebooking with Bailee in the future! She was an amazing provider and very informative! Followed all directions perfectly!”
“Sandy was super accommodating, responsive and very sweet. I could tell she really listened to my detailed instructions for both my dogs haha would definitely book again!”
“Sarah is the most loving and attentive caretaker for your fur babies. She meticulously monitored how our 19 year old Jiggs was eating and drinking while making sure our three year old Rosie was given what he also needed. Her daughter is the sweetest assistant, doling out treats and pets. You will rest easy when Sarah looks after your precious ones!”
“Anne-Marie is wonderful. My cat can be a little cautious when she meets new people, but at first sight, she walked right up to her asking for pets. She was on time every day and provided a variety of pictures to let me know my cat was in good hands. Would highly recommend!”
“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!”
About: I've had pets since I was 10, and each one has had a significant impact on my life. That's why I now want to dedicate myself to helping them, because I believe they mean so much to me. When my family traveled, they always entrusted their pets to me because they saw how important they are to me I could work part-time after 3 pm, which is when my regular job allset, but if I'm ever needed full-time, I'd also be willing to cover the entire schedule, and I'm available on weekends as well. I have a large house, I also have space behind the house, and if you want me to keep your pet in a cage or something you tell me to, I would just obey your rules

Sarah has been taking care of my kitties whenever I’m out of town for the past year, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. She is kind, thoughtful, and attentive, and her notes are always detailed and reassuring. I feel completely at ease knowing my cats are being so well cared for while I’m away. I recommend her 100%!
I feel so lucky to have found Courtney to watch my two cats when I did, and to continue working with her. She first began to watch the boys when I had to take an overseas trip, and after our first meeting, the cats trusted her and I personally felt confident and comfortable enough to ask her to take care of them for me while I was in another country. She is a wonderful, kind, communicative, and responsible sitter who immediately made me feel at ease when we first met. I cannot recommend her enough!
Hannah was so patient and wonderful with our dog, Daisy, who has become more anxious around new people as she has gotten older. Hannah went above and beyond to make Daisy comfortable and ensure she got a safe walk. We would definitely use her again for dog walks or dogsitting!
Dustin is the absolute best! It’s only because of him I was able to leave for two weeks and enjoy time with my loved ones for the holidays. He is trustworthy, consistent, and reliable. He was patient with my girl, Marshmallow, and accommodated to her needs. My family and I are so grateful for Dustin, and I plan to rebook him in the future.
Steven is friendly, punctual, followed our instructions, and went above and beyond. We (and our kitties) are thoroughly satisfied with his pet sitting. Our super shy cat who usually always hides even took a shine to him. 5 out of 5 stars, I would hire again and recommend!
