2. Nick S.
“Nick took excellent care of my 11 month 70lb fur baby, gave such a peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and always had clean water when I returned from work. Nick is a great resource, we will be rebooking no doubt🙏🏼”
3. Amber R.
“Amber is great! Charlie is usually shy when he meets a new person, but he warmed up to her right away! She took him on a nice, long walk and sent great pictures. I feel confident using her routinely going forward! 10/10!”
4. Karinna B.
“Karinna was awesome with the dogs. Both dogs loved her and her dog that took walks with them everyday. I would highly recommend her and use her on future vacations.”
5. Lauren C.
“Lauren is a fantastic addition to our lives. She is attentive, reliable, and respectful. I feel so confident trusting her with my Harley because I can see just how happy my pup is with her new routine. If you’re looking for someone to trust with your precious four legged family members, I can’t recommend her enough!!”
6. Jackie H.
About: I have always loved animals. My husband & kids and I had a beloved dog for 15 yrs & really miss him. I’ve also babysat my grand-dog multiple times. I miss having that interaction & would love to care for your pet. I’ve been working from home since COVID began and set my own hrs. Would love to fill the additional hrs with a furry friend. I’m available anytime. Small unfenced yard to enjoy & quite neighborhood for walks. Dog park and walk along river accessible by car. Crating available if needed. Your pet will be spoiled as I will only watch one pet at a time.
7. Amber M.
“Amber is the most passionate dog Momma I know! She is genuinely kind and caring towards all animals! Amber is especially patient with anxious dogs who need the extra time and effort to warm up. Couldn't recommend enough!”
8. Patrick & Susan D.
“Wonderful dog walkers. Pat was critical to helping me successfully interview for a job (including full days of Zoom) without whiny dogs in the background and was highly responsive and flexible in scheduling. We are looking forward to boarding our dogs with them and only wish they had greater availability (but of course, top dog walkers/boarders are busy!).”
9. Elizabeth G.
“Very reliable and good with my Charlie!”
10. Jen O.
“Jen did an amazing job taking care of our four cats- giving meds twice daily to the senior cats and making them feel comfortable while we were away for a long overdue week’s vacation! One of our cats is epileptic and has seized in the past when we leave on a trip. Jen clearly knows how to connect and keep cats calm so there were no seizures! Cat boxes kept clean- she even vacuumed before she left! So happy to have had her stay here with our herd and will definitely have her stay her again! I highly recommend Jen!”
11. Nicole T.
About: I have been caring for pets for years. I have experience with puppies to senior dogs. I have two pups of my own. I am reliable and patient. I teach children’s music classes so I have flexibility before and after my classes. I am available various times during the morning, afternoon and evening. I have a large fenced in yard with a whole lot of room for exercise for your furry friend. I am also outside in the yard as well.
12. Lindi B.
“Lindi is a responsible and loving dog mom and caretaker. She can wrangle my high-energy Frenchie and loves to play with him and give him cuddles. Her Boston Terrier is sweet and friendly and gets along well with almost any other dog.”
13. Melissa L.
“Melissa is awesome!! She did such a wonderful job watching our elderly Weimaraner and our very active golden. She took our energetic guy on walks daily and took great care of both dogs while we were away. Melissa was great communicating with us while we were away. We could relax and enjoy our vacation and didn’t have to worry about our pups. They were in such great hands. We highly recommend Melissa if you are looking for a loving, responsible person to care for your pets!”
14. Chris B.
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.
15. Becky G.
“Becky and I were roommates for years and had several cats over that period of time. Each one of them had a wonderful quality of life while we lived there. If I was ever out of town, she kept our furry friends fed and happy. Taking them for walks or playing with them happened daily, those cats were truly spoiled. Becky will show the very same dedication and attentiveness to her future clients' pets! :)”
16. Anastasia R.
“We have a 5 year old male, high energy, German Shepherd. Mac weighs 115 lbs. and over the years we have struggled to find a dog walker that is confident enough to walk him. Ana is a perfect fit for him! She is familiar with German Shepherds and larger breeds in general, can read dog behavior and most importantly, Mac respects her.”
17. Valerie S.
“Look no further!! Valerie took excellent care of my dog, highly recommend, reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. Thanks for taking excellent care of my fur baby Stella!!”
18. Olivia A.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10. Mostly young adult to senior dogs and cats but I’ve worked in exotic animal sanctuaries as well. I’d love to work for you! I’m a Masters college student at UConn (1 day/week), work as an Athletic Trainer (evenings), and EMT (nights). I’m looking for an extra job to do in the mornings to help pay for life that’s a little less stressful. I have a pup (1.5 years old lab) with lots of energy to burn for play dates or walks. I do not have a fenced yard but am capable of bringing dogs to the dog park. I believe in reward based training and have reliable transportation for any check ins. I can bring my own pup or go to your home alone to check on your pets. I’m confident in checking on all pets (not just dogs and cats) for home visits.
19. Vicky C.
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 pups or kitties. Would prefer advance notice to make sure it is a good fit and everything works out! 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!
