She went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be asking her again next time we go away!”

About: I have had dogs all my life, I am very well-versed in dog walking, feeding, and playing, and I have taken part in training all my family dogs. I have dog sat since I was a teen for a neighborhood Dalmatian growing up. I am loving and caring for dogs and cats. I have a 1-year-old wolfhound mutt who loves other dogs and people and loves play dates. I work in west Hartford so I can dog walk in that area T-F 3:45-4:45 Vernon areas T-F 4:45-7:45 pm Saturday and Sundays time are flexible I work full-time as a preschool teacher at the American School for the Deaf and am currently in my last year of grad school for my Special Education Master's. I live in Vernon with my fiancée and our son and dog. we are well versed in extra curricular for our son, taekwondo and swimming lessons but always have time to take our pup for a walk or to the dog park for some fetch. I am comfortable letting your dog in and out of the crate, taking them on walks, and taking them for a playdate with my dog if they are dog-friendly. there is a fenced in dog park in Vernon we can play at as well
About: I have been around all types of pets my entire life. I’ve taken care of dogs from Newfoundland’s to chihuahuas. I’m great with pets and have been responsible for cleaning, feeding, walking, and playing with lots and lots of dogs. I am a big animal person and want to do something with it in the future. In my childhood I would go to my aunts house often to take care of her 5 Newfoundland’s and bulldog. I would take my sisters chihuahua to the mountains of Colorado. Every nearby neighborhood I grew up by as a child knew me for my exceptional dog care and would want me to walk and dog sit for them all the time. It comes natural for someone when it is what they really love to do. I am currently self employed so I can make time or move my schedule around to accommodate your pets schedule needs. Open availability for right now. I give my cat lots of love and affection. I also take care of proper feeding and cleaning. Lots of experience feeding and walking dogs as well.

About: Hey there! I’m Maddie and I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, ranging all the way from dogs to goats to turtles to chickens! I am currently working at a veterinary hospital part-time as well so I am learning so much from that. In the end, my goal is to become a veterinary technician because all I want is for animals to have the most incredible long and healthy life they can have! My passion for animals is truly limitless, so your pet will be in amazing hands! I currently work part-time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! My schedule is pretty flexible as well. The more time I get to know your fur baby, the better! For dog walks I can do between 8am-4pm everyday but Wednesday and Saturday. And for Drop-Ins I can do 8am-7pm on the same days! If you have a request for a time outside of my availability, just send me a message and I can more than likely make it work! 😊 I will treat your pet exactly as I would my own! Whatever preferences you have such as food, potty, and exercise will be followed. And obviously a few treats and belly rubs!
“Rachel was very helpful with my two cats and had great communication, and even called to ask if anyone had been in the house between visits when things didn't look the same (the cats had moved a curtain). Her diligence was greatly appreciated. Would certainly hire again.”

“Eve was a great cat-sitter for us over the holidays! She was responsive, flexible, and attentive and clearly had a lovely time with our cats as well. She took great care of them and allowed us to enjoy our trip. I would definitely rebook her for our next trip!”


“Erin came and met my cats prior to starting. She was very responsive and friendly. She did great while we were away. She sent pictures and kept us updated everyday. Very reasonable and reliable! Would definitely recommend!!”


“Jessica & Christopher did a fantastic job looking after my 2 cats! They are both super communicative, friendly, and always respond quickly to messages. I booked kind of last minute and they accepted and even started the evening they returned from vacation! They followed all my instructions and the cats were very happy when I got home 😊 I was worried my older cat would have an accident on the basement floor, but Jessica & Christopher kept the litter clean to his liking and there were no accidents!! I’m so happy about that! I will definitely book with Jessica & Christopher next time I go away. They did a really great job 🩷 Thank you!!!!”

About: I love all cats and dogs, big and small. I’ve been around pets since I was young and recently adopted a cat of my own! Would love to care for your pets and make sure they’re in good hands! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to watch your furry friends. Would prefer advance notice to make sure it is a good fit and everything works out! I will try my best to work around your schedule. I can watch your pups in your home preferred as I live in an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs. I can watch cats in my home depending, would love to chat to hear more!
