Pet Sitting in East Lyme

“Once again so happy with how well they took care of my kitty. I can’t express how relieved I am that she’s in good hands when I can’t be home. Thank you, Erica & Thomas!”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. My friends and family have depended on me while they are away on vacation or working long days. I have begun offering my services to the general public. My love for animals has always been strong. I actually prefer animals over humans! I recently became CPR certified for both cats and dogs so you will have peace of mind when your pets are in my care. I am a self-employed professional with a very flexible schedule working mostly remote. This gives me the opportunity to care for your pets when needed. I offer overnight stays in the comfort of your home or a flexible walking schedule as needed. I realize every household has different needs and I will try to accommodate.

About: I have been house sitting overnight since I was 14. I have experience working with dogs, cats, mice, and flying squirrels. Believe it or not, I have taken care of dogs who were indoor-trained only.I am also an experienced dog walker- not just with my own dogs but with friends' dogs that I've loved as my own. **serious inquiries only** please do not send me a booking request if you're going to ghost me after I respond or if you plan to book with another sitter. You'd be surprised by how often this happens. I abide by the safety precautions at the homes I stay at (fences, ring cameras, etc). When I stay with indoor cats, I take extra precautions when leaving the house to make sure the cats don't escape.

“Thank you so much for the last minute help!”

About: I have had dogs since I was a kid, as well as other animals (cats, geckos, fish etc.) I have pet sat for my neighbors with some of their dogs being on the older side, needing medications and more care. I have also had a dog go through ACL surgery and worked with them on the rehab after! I'm currently part-time and would love to hang out with your animals! I know working makes it hard for animals to get as many walks as you might like, and I would love to be someone who can help with that! My own dog is electric fence trained, but I have worked with dogs who need to be leashed while having outdoor time, and some who have fenced in yards. I would love to help your your pet feel happy and active!

“Sara was terrific!! She is communicative, takes lots of photos, and she's funny! Plus, she went out of her way with my plants, one of which got some mold and she found the Neem oil to treat it. From mail to putting out the trash, she really goes above and beyond just pet care. I felt like the house was safe, our cat was happy, and we could enjoy our time away. Thanks so much, Sara! Bill and Diane”

“Torie has been thorough and excellent communication in the caring of Sassafras.”

“Angelle took great care of my dog. I would definitely book with her again. I can tell she truly cares for the pets she is watching. When my dog was fussy with his food, she went above and beyond to get him to eat.”

Rachel R.

“Mary was so great with my dog, will be using her as my regular dog sitter going forward. Was super attentive and interactive with him from the first meet and greet. Great communication from her and loved the check ins she sent while she came to visit, very glad I found somebody so happy to spend some time with him when I’m at work. 10/10 recommend!”

James S.

“Clayton took such loving care of my elderly fur baby. She even brought my pup some enticing food to get him to eat as he was so sad I wasn’t home. She was so patient and kind to him. I was so grateful for this experience as I was so nervous to leave him. She kept me updated regarding all of here visits with pictures included. Thanks so much for allowing me to have a much needed vacation, Cayton!”

About: Ever since I was young, 4 or 5 years old, I'd go with my grandparents when they took care of the neighborhood animals - cats, dogs, and sheep. I really enjoyed their Siamese cats that they "adopted" from neighbors down the road (a sad, and upsetting story). My brother and I begged my dad and stepmother to get a dog and, when I was 10, they gifted us Maxx - a Golden Retriever/Samoyed mix. He became diabetic and needed insulin shots later on, and I helped administer those. After I became an adult, I adopted 2 cats with my former partner of 15 years. When we split, I took the cat that had bonded with me and cared for her until she passed at age 18. She developed thyroid disease and it took me a while to figure out how to get her meds in her, but I did and she had a much higher quality of life. I also switched to feeding her Gerber baby food (she preferred that brand over Beechnut, I'm not kidding) when she started to get even fussier about her food. Before that I helped care fore my grandparents' Siamese - I would microwave small chunks of hamburger for him and give him subcutaneous water treatments at home, and he ACTUALLY sat quietly and patiently during the treatments, the vet couldn't believe it! Pet care would fit best into my schedule early mornings, evenings/nights and weekends. I might also be able to squeeze in afternoon visits on weekdays. I would prefer to care for pets in their home, for the pets' comfort. Priority is getting emergency contact numbers, and permission in case emergency care is needed. I'd follow their normal daily routine as closely as possible, and make sure to give them plenty of attention, exercise, play, and socialization.

About: We have a 6 year old Golden Doodle with plenty of energy! Always love having other dogs with him to play to enjoy our large fenced in yard. He has lots of energy so can keep up with your dog, but always knows when it’s time to chill! We limit the amount of dogs we take to ensure a stress free environment for all, especially when taking on new friends! We do have a young son so will need any dogs to be friendly with children Majority of the time myself and my wife both work from home - one of us is here at all times and love to spend time outdoors with our dog Fenced yard - approx 1/3 acre enclosed Friendly and playful golden doodle who gets along with everyone. We’ve cared for many friends dogs and would treat yours like our own

“She was very accommodating for my 2 finicky cats! She took the time to look for my shy cat in the house to feed him his treat and gave me clear notes and pictures each visit.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11 years old. I have walked, taken pups outside, fed them meals, kept them company and I’m able to do all of that for you and your puppies too! I currently work full time however my schedule allows me to still care for your puppies! The most amount of time I’ll be away at a time is 5-6 hours. I’m happy to chat about my schedule for the week you need me. I have 3 dogs who need much attention, I make sure by the end of the night they are out of energy by playing with them and running around outside. They love getting treats after dinner too and I’m sure your puppies will be just like mine, out of energy and happy!

“Thank you Karen! Dogs and I are very grateful.”

Anthony D.

About: I ensure the highest quality care for my own pets, and I will make it my priority to do the same for yours! As long as I can remember I’ve had pets, and they’ve always been a passion of mine. I work full time from home during the week until 5pm! I am able to provide drop in visits in the evenings and then multiple times a day on weekends. I am unable to accept pets in my own home at the moment, however what ever you need done within your own home I will make sure is done correctly and in a timely manner!

“Carolyn was so kind and fun to work with. She left hilarious and detailed reports and selfies with our kitties and took extra care to follow our specific needs to keep them separated. She was very respectful and caring during our meet and greet and communicative during the planning.”

“Taylor was excellent with moose! Did a great job”

“Emily was great! We did a meet and greet before the day of the check-in to make sure Maple (our dog) could warm up and be comfortable with her. She sent us pictures of Maple during the check-in and let us know Maple was behaved on her walk. We will definitely use Emily again when the opportunity presents! Thank you so much Emily!!!”

Morgan R.

“Julia was wonderful! We did a drop in visit before she’s staying with the fur babies for a weekend. She was perfectly on time, communicative, and both fur babies loved her!”
