“We have 6 small dogs - all from rescues. We’ve had some of them since 2018; with the newest making her arrival @ 6 months ago. They have never been boarded or watched before. I contacted Rachel for a meet and greet and it went well. We used her for four days of in home visits. She took notes during our meeting of their food and routines. She was meticulous in their care and which put us at ease. She sent notes and pictures with every visit. Four took to her right away, two others took a little extra time but she worked with them at their speed. This made us extremely happy as our fur babies were happy. I would not hesitate to recommend her services or use her again if the need arose. She went the extra mile with her care and her attention to detail!”

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

“Jen was absolutely amazing! She provided very in depth notes about our 3 pets after each visits and gave us some great pictures. My pets felt very comfortable with her and loved snuggling. I will definitely rebook with her and will recommend her to everyone!”

“Patrick & Susan were excellent! Before we left for vacation it had been a few weeks since they met our dogs. so they asked if they could came back for a refresher so that our dogs felt comfortable. They provided updates when on their way to our house, pics/potty/food updates, played outside every visit, and even cleaned up after the dogs outside when we have a big fenced in yard!!! Absolute dog lovers, extremely dedicated to their work, reliable... we can't wait to book with them again for future vacations! :)”

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!

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and I have cared for pets for families for days at a time. I have hands on experience with Shiba, Boxer, Akita and Pit Bull, along with many other breeds. I work from home Monday through Friday with a very flexible schedule, so your dog gets real attention, real playtime and real companionship all day. I create a fun, safe and comfortable environment that helps pets feel right at home. Your dog will be cared for, loved and treated like family every moment they are with me.

About: I am certified in pet first aid and CPR, and am very serious when it comes to pet care, safety, and health. I have experience in pet care through all stages (puppy - senior), and complex medical cases. Each dog and cat is an individual with their own needs, wants, and traits that need to be fulfilled and noticed. BOARDING & DAYCARE: I LOVE pet care, and providing a safe, fun, and enriching environment. I will also analyze your pets individual needs and allow them to approach me as they become comfortable. I understand how important it is to choose the right person to take care of your beloved dog or cat. My primary focus will be the safety of all pets in the house. I will also make sure you feel happy and comfortable that your pet is in my home. I will also make sure you feel happy and comfortable that your pet is in my home by going through all of the details before your pets stay, and updating you with pictures and videos! DROP IN VISITS: Playing, potty, feeding, cuddling, bathing... I will do whatever needs to be done to make sure your pet is both happy and safe! PLEASE NOTE: - I work full time. On Fridays, I get home around 1:30-2:00pm. - I will accept boarding OR daycare. I cannot accommodate both arrangements on the same days. - If you have one dog and more than one cat, I will accept them all. I will have a private, separate room for your cats. - I would like as much notice as possible to set up the pet care arrangement! CATS ONLY: You can drop off your pet on Thursday evening if needed I have a fenced in yard and a female dog, Sophie, who is very friendly and playful! I will always monitor them and never leave them alone without supervision. Our cat is blocked off by a 5-foot-tall gate (she stays in the bedrooms), and Sophie is in the rest of the house. My previous dog, Johnny, passed away in 2024 and throughout his life he experienced health issues that required daily oral medication (he had epilepsy and hypothyroidism, and during the last 6 months of his life he struggled with Cushing's Disease). I am experienced in how complicated medication and health issues are in pets, and I take it very seriously. I make sure our home is a calm environment filled with toys, playtime, cuddles, and mentally stimulating activities. My goal is to do what's best for the individual dog/cat and make them feel both safe and loved! If needed, there is a private pet room that will be changed to fit the dog or cat's needs. The set up will include toys, their own items the owner provides, and washable mats on the floor that will be washed/disinfected before use. If your pet needs their own private space, I will make this room a fun, and relaxing place to be! Please note: to ensure the safety of all pets in the household, I need to see the most recent Vet paperwork showing your pet is up to date on vaccines (unless health or age prevents them from receiving vaccines), and does not have a contractable health issue. Also, your pet must NOT be aggressive.

“Katherine provided wonderful care for my dogs, with plenty of updates along the way. Huskies can be overwhelming, but she handled them with ease. 10/10 highly recommend. Will likely book again next time I go out of town.”

About: I have always been surrounded by pets; enjoy giving plenty of attention; and have cared for their well-being (bathing, administering medications, monitoring recuperations after illness/surgery). I work full-time during the school year (August 20 - June 15; leave home at 7:30 a.m. and I am home by 4:30 p.m.) and have my evenings and weekends free. During the summer I am home and available during the daytime as well. I am available for check-ins, walks, and stays. Your companion would be cared for by keeping to his/her routine/schedule, keeping them safe, following any additional instructions, and giving them lots of attention and playtime.
