“Kelcie was fantastic from start to finish. We came to meet her and see where our dogs would be staying. She was very easy to communicate with and provided us with updates and truly amazing photos of our dogs. We will definitely reach out if we need her services again in the future! Her home is wonderful and she has a great and safe setup for any pup.”

3. Renana M.
“I met a gentleman in Renana's driveway who was picking up his dog. He said Renana's was the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH and he is not exagerating. Sadie loves Renana and her pack. Sadie has her favorite doggie friends, but all the dogs are great. Sadie is well cared for and comes home with a good tired. She always gets excited when we say, "Want to go to Renana's".”

About: I grew up around cats and dogs within my own home, other family members houses, & friends. We had a cat of our own until last year when we moved out of CT for a short time and had to sadly re-home him. He’s missed very much! I’ve also house sat pets and walked friends dogs as well. I work part time so I have a lot free time on my hands which makes me very flexible at all hours and time during the week! I care for pets as if they are my own. With all the love and fun that they can take whether they are in my home or I am in theirs!
5. Terry S.
“My dog and I both got very lucky finding Terry immediately after moving to Connecticut. She’s incredibly kind and caring towards my special needs pup, and always considers his comfort and requirements. Her communication with me is also excellent, asking for any updates each morning and giving great reports at the end of the day. I highly recommend her.”
6. Mary Jo M.
“Mary Jo watched my dog and my sister’s (both anxious seniors) over the holiday weekend for daycare. We gave her weird hours and she accommodated us regardless, despite having little ones of her own. Drop off and pick up process was quick. It was late when we picked up so when a steel bowl was left behind she mailed it back, which we appreciated a lot. We trust her experience with dogs and are so happy the fur babies were safe and sound while we were away!”
7. Britanny B.
“Brianny has watched our German Shepherd a number of times when we have been out of town for a number of days. She is kind, attentive, and responsible. She cared for our dog as if it was her own. She asked all the proper questions to make sure that our dog was cared for and she knew his needs. She arranged for exercise, play, and attention for him and treated him with love and concern. I would recommend her without hesitation for anyone who who is looking for her help with pet care.”

About: IG @lauralovesyourdog We love animals! Energetic young humans and 6 year old pug will play with your dog until we collapse! We have a large unfenced yard with lots of sniffing and exploring space. The yard is regularly treated by Tick Ranger (organic and pet-safe tick spraying). Our space for overnight is a large room- crated or uncrated, or are welcome to sleep in the human bed of their choice. Dogs are welcome throughout the first floor during the day. Your dog will feel completely at home at my house or yours! We walk, play and hug. Grooming services unavailable. Unfortunately we can not take pit bulls, pit bull mixes, or border terriers. I am also a caring and experienced cat owner/ caretaker! We have 3 cats of our own (our 17 year old angel Maddy went to the Heaviside Layer June 2021💙) and will care for your cat in your home or ours. Dependable loving care always! And if that wasn’t enough I am also very comfortable feeding/ handling and caring for small reptiles including snakes. We have had our Herman’s tortoise Shelly Clarkson for 2 years and love her to death! Available most days- flexible schedule and I keep my Rover calendar updated. About me: 42 year old single mom, works occasionally as a stage manager and at The Place in Guilford. We hope to care for your furry family soon! *Please note I do have 2 kids (ages 9 and 5). Both kids are very aware and cautious in how to approach new animals but if your dog is not 100% comfortable with kids we are not the sitters for you. Thank you! I build my schedule around my clients. We like to keep a predictable routine for our guests. I am home most of the day most days! We have a partially fenced yard and all guests stay leashed and well supervised while out! Our pug Winston loves to play and snuggle with our guests. My other part- time jobs are seasonal so I am home and available most days November through May. When my seasonal jobs are active I still am able to take 2-3 clients visits a day around them! I am very good with animals and have very very rarely met one that wasn’t interested in being my friend. All of my repeat clients are always very happy to see me! 🥰 I am always cautious and respectful of your pets’ space and yours and always will leave your house cleaner than I found it! I go above and beyond to make sure your pets’ routine is disturbed as little as possible while you are gone and I make sure they are given extra affection (if they want it!) I will not hesitate to obtain emergency care (with your permission) if your pet needs it.

15. Carmine F.
“Carmine has watched our senior, special needs shih tzu Mattie a few times now and she just loves spending time with him. She has separation anxiety and is almost totally blind - so we rarely leave her alone for more than an hour or so. We are so grateful to have found Carmine to help us out - he is so kind, caring and gentle with her. He is also great to work with. Thank you so much Carmine!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and seem to always find myself bonding with people over our beloved fur babies! I frequently watch my family and friends dogs. I have helped with litters being born, and have had experience with senior dog care as well. I work from home and am able to give frequent potty breaks. I also have a 3-year old Australian cattle dog mix, Ruby. Ruby has lots of energy to keep your pup entertained!! I live in a quiet, low traffic neighborhood — perfect for short or long walks!

17. Greta N.
“Greta is a close friend of mine who has always been an avid animal lover. She has been the proud owner of some of the sweetest, well-cared for cats over the last 15+ years we have known each other. She constantly stays educated on the best brands to give to her cats, whether it’s the healthiest food, the safest litter, or the most engaging toys. She keeps their wellbeing at the forefront of her mind. Greta is a fantastic pet owner and I could not recommend her enough.”
18. Ruth M.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life Have watched friends pets when they were away Older woman at home would love some company and take care of your cat . Home most days and nights. Quick run to grocery store that’s it. Elderly woman who will cuddle and pet and play with your kitty lots of attention will be given if that’s what they like Small house with lots of windows for your kitty to watch the birds and squirrels . Am very particular about having a clean litter box
19. Chandra B.
“Chandra is wonderful! She watched our two labs that have a lot of energy while we were on vacation. She was very patient and accommodating and sent lots of picture updates. Would definitely recommend her.”
20. Amanda W.
“I have watched Amanda handle both dogs and cats. She is sensitive with both, warm and caring, but can also be firm if(particularly a big dog) needs that. Cats seem to sense something in her pheromones as they just melt to her. I watched her work her 150lb Newfoundland in our agility class and she was very consistent and caring with him. I think you would find her a special and more than responsible person with essentially any animal.”
