“Althea is the best. Knowledgeable, responsive, flexible, and a great communicator. She has genuine affection for Boo and he loves maintaining such relationships. Plus, in my case, she’s hyper-local and knows the neighborhood. That makes it simpler to meet his needs.”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I’ve grown up with a cat and two labs, so caring for both cats and dogs feels very natural to me. I’m used to everything from playtime and walks to quiet companionship, and I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and personality. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a student at UConn! My schedule and course load is fairly light so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pets! I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their own space and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box or potty needs, medication if needed, and playtime. I make sure pets get attention, exercise, and companionship, while also keeping the home clean and secure. I always respect the pet’s habits and personality and aim to keep things as stress-free as possible.

“Greta was very attentive and personable. She tuned into Boo’s needs and collaborated with him to do what he needed to do to be comfortable and content.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, from smaller pets like dogs and cats when I was younger to today where I help care for goats and alpacas on my family farm. I also have a young puppy of my own that I’ve been training, so I’m very familiar with routine building and patience when it comes to animals! Currently I am a college student so I am very flexible to work over breaks when I home whether that be weekends or weekdays, day or night! Though I am not available to care for animals in my own home, I will make it a priority to make them as comfortable as possible in yours! Wheather that be crating them, sticking with routines such as feeding, walking, or any other special instructions you leave me, so that your pet can feel consistent and comfortable while you are gone!

“Marybeth was great! My dogs loved her and I got lots of pictures 💜”

About: Motivated and dependable pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of various sizes and temperaments. Since 8th grade, I have been volunteering at the NHSPCA, where I regularly played with, exercised, and socialized dogs to support their enrichment and comfort. I also grew up in a dog-loving household and have always had pets, including dachshunds, golden, and currently a lab and a Great Pyrenees mix rescue dogs. Through these, I am skilled in dog walking, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing attentive companionship to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable while owners are away. Known for strong communication, punctuality, and attention to detail when following care instructions. Experience balancing a busy schedule as a full-time college student while maintaining responsibility-focused roles such as gym supervisor and tutor has strengthened time management and reliability. Passionate about building trust with both pets and their owners and committed to providing consistent, high-quality care! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. As a busy but well-organized college student, I primarily offer availability on weekends and Friday nights since I do not go out. During these times, I can provide focused, reliable care including walks, drop-ins, and possibly overnight sitting. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention and timely care. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and trustworthy environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I would carefully follow all provided instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules while respecting the space. I keep pets supervised, maintain clean food and water areas, and ensure doors, leashes, and gates are secure at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and structured routines to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free!

“Sue is great! Excellent communication and very good with our dog. We booked her for weekend dog walking during ski season and it was a huge help.”

Jess B.

“Megan was super-enthusiastic, clear, and interested in having the best possible interactions and relationship with Boo. At every step, I was reassured by her approach and the way things went. In my experience, you are in good hands when you entrust your pet to Megan, and in my case that adds up to peace of mind when it just wasn’t possible to be there myself.”

Eric D.

“My dog struggles with new people and Chichi has been patient and taken extra time to make her comfortable. It’s so reassuring to know she cares for Ruby just as I do!”

About: Grew up with a dog ever since I was one, a sweet golden retriever and loved her all her life, help dog/cat sit and dog walk with my sister between her and my new rescue, also grew up with my grandmothers cat, a cat of my own and now a family cat My fully online school schedule gives me a lot of flexibility, allowing me to be available for daytime care, drop-ins, and walks. It also makes overnight stays easy to accommodate when needed! With a large, open backyard, your pet will have plenty of space to run, play, and burn off energy. I provide toys such as balls and use a secure lead setup for safe outdoor fun, plus we have a long, quiet, hilly road that’s perfect for walks. Inside, your pet will find a cozy, welcoming environment with plenty of spots to relax—especially in our spacious, carpeted living room.

I love every breed and every size and will provide the most excellent care for your family member. I have 3 dogs of my own currently and am very capable of caring for all life stages.

I will treat your animal like they are one of my own.

About: I have over 15 years of animal care experience. Including experience in animal welfare in a shelter environment, working with animal rescue cases. In this position I was responsible for handling and training everything from puppies, to highly reactive traumatized dogs. If wanted, I can easily weave basic training into my stay with your dog. I currently work part time no longer in the animal welfare field as I grow my full-time pet sitting business. My love and passion for animal care has not dwindled.

I provide animals with the time and space needed to become comfortable interacting with me, and set up consistent routines to give them confidence and predictability.

About: I have had the best experiences working in both animal shelters and animal hospitals learning so much about animal behavior, daily care needs/expectations, and am trained in providing basic medical care! I currently work full-time and have an amazing schedule that allows me to have 3 days off during the week! As I spend my work days promoting the lives of shelter pets, I look forward to spending time with owner pets too. At my home I have one small dog and a couple resident felines. The most important thing will be making sure both your pets and mine remain safe during the entire visit.

About: ***PLEASE NOTE: Additional charges will be applied for services over 20 minute of travel time. Please reach out and we can discuss pricing further! I’ve taken care of dogs of many kinds for over 10 years. Pets are a part of our families. I know how important they are when it comes to being taken care of and loved. I can provide that for you during the time you aren’t able to. I work part time remotely. We have a 3 year old who adores animals. along with a Great Dane, Boxer, 2 bunnies & 3 cats. They are all healthy and very loved. We have a fenced in yard so our dogs are outside as much as possible during warmer weather. There is food and water always on hand. I clean our cats litter boxes regularly. I have been told by people who are allergic when they visit that they wouldn’t even know we had cats based on the cleanliness of our home causing little to no allergic reaction.

About: I have 3 years of experience caring for cats and also have two of my own, so I truly understand their routines and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with shy or anxious cats and take a calm, patient approach to build trust at their pace. As an ICU nurse, I’m very detail oriented and experienced with medications and special care needs. I keep litter boxes clean, monitor eating and behavior closely, and maintain a consistent routine. I provide regular updates and photos so you always feel confident your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work night shift as a nurse, so I’m available during the day, including mornings, afternoons, and most weekends. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide consistent, reliable care and attention to your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety is my top priority.
