Pet Sitting in Essex

“My dog, Jesse Lee, was glad to see me when I got home, but I could tell Christine took good care of him. Jesse was the same happy healthy dog I left. I will use Christine again.”

“Terry did drop in visits with our dog Callie while we were on vacation. She was so thorough and sent updates after every visit! She took wonderful care of our dog and it was also a relief to have her drop in at our house knowing everything was good while we were away! Terry is a great dog sitter and we will definitely hire her again!! We give her a 5 star rating!! Thanks so much Terry!”

“Cayton was so great with my pup, Kala! We just moved to the area and have been looking for a dog walker. We booked a drop-in appt for Sat evening and Sun morning and Cayton made a trip out prior to the drop-ins to meet us and Kala, which was something we very much appreciated! Kala has always been a good judge of character and she loved Cayton, so we knew she was in good hands. Cayton gave us detailed updates with pictures for both drop-ins, which was great. Kala was very well taken care of and we plan on using Cayton in the future.”

“We were so grateful to find Yvonne for our little pup on such short notice! She is very kind and friendly. Our puppy loves her very much. Yvonne was very gentle and patient with her. She is prompt with arrival and sent us pictures to let us know how our puppy was doing. I would highly recommend Yvonne to anyone, as you can tell that she really is fantastic and skilled with dogs!”

“Laura was wonderful.. I hesitate using someone... Just because not sure... Went away for the weekend. Laura texted me with pictues and let me know daily abou the visit. I would highly recommend her....”

“Tabitha is the most trustworthy and loving pet caretaker. She has become family to us and our pets, and they love when she comes to visit!!! Tabitha is responsible, consistent, and a true animal lover, and we will always trust her to help take care of our fur babies!”

“Kathryn is my sister and I frequently leave my ferret, Milo, in her care. Milo has a heart condition and therefore requires medication every 24 hours. Kathryn is always on top of this and ensures Milo gets her meds every night at the regular time as well as ensuring she is fed and has fresh water. I know that when Milo is in my sister's care, she is loved, entertained, and safe. There are few people I would trust to take care of my baby, but Kathryn is one of them. She's reliable, trustworthy, and loves all animals. I remember a time she fed an injured vulture in our neighborhood every day until animal control could come to help it. She also has multiple bird feeders and baths she tends to every day. She's the best.”

“Carolyn is the best! She is my go-to cat sitter, and a true animal lover. She is always quick to respond to a booking request and sends photos and a cute update when she does drop-in visits for my kitty. She's wonderful and I think my cat might even like her more than me now! 5 stars for sure!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life typically at least 2 dogs and 2 cats. I am a natural animal lover and caretaker. I trained corgis for almost 10 years. I now have two cats and a dog of my own. I usually pet sit for friends or for my parents. I work in Hartford on a hybrid schedule so I am pretty flexible during the week with my days. I will always take my work schedule into account before accepting anything. If in need of dog boarding, your dog would have to listen well to be in our unfenced yard (i would leash or put them on the long line) and they would have to be ok with cats. If I were to go to your home, I understand this is a super personal space and a bit nerve wracking having someone there, trust me I feel the same when I have someone take care of my pets! I will treat your space with respect and make sure to follow your instructions.

“My wife and I have always had high energy/large dog breeds (german shepherds/huskies mostly), that can be tough to handle for boarding companies if we try to go on vacation, or traveling for work. Our current dogs range between 65-95 lbs, and having Gabby to care for them while we can't has been a total life saver! Being a dog owner herself you can feel the love and attention emanating from her whenever she interacts with our fur babies, and her thoroughness in her care has erased any feelings of uneasiness we have had about not being immediately there for our 4 legged family members. We were distraught when we heard she was moving but cannot recommend her enough, if you are lucky enough to work with Gabby you will find yourself breathing easier :D.”

“Amanda is organized, prompt and professional. She dropped in to take care of Piper at dinner time, followed all instructions and did a great job!”

“Alexandra is a very loving individual who cares about all animals she comes in contact with. Growing up we had dogs and she loved them more than anything else. She is very patient and caring and always puts the animals first. I know she will do a great job taking care of any animal she is asked to caregive for. ”

“It was a wonderful experience using Mary Jo and Rover. We were gone for the day and felt comfortable knowing our girl was going to be well taken care of. She was very easy going and professional. I’d definitely use her again.”

“Samantha is our only “go-to gal” when we need to leave town and need Kitty care—and we trust her with our home and our kitty, Luna, implicitly. She is timely, proactive, professional and reliable. SIX stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Kelli has been amazing with my pets! I have a miniature dachshund who has back problems and dietary restrictions, as well as three cats. She has been incredibly caring towards my animals, handles their needs very well, and treats them like her own! She's always been on time and I've never had a better sitter for my pets.”

“We recently used Chandra for our new puppy and found her to be very nice and professional. Its nice to have found a great pet sitter so close to us.”

About: I grew up with a shi tzu for the first 17 years of my life and had consistent experience caring for him by walking him, playing with him, feeding him, and making sure he is happy. I have grown up with cats my entire life and have plenty of experience working with multiple cats at one time. I try my best to make all animals feel safe and comfortable. :) I work full time from 8:00-4:30, however I am available to assist with pet care after work and on weekends. I can help with house sitting, dog walking, and pet sitting. When I care for pets in your home I am sure to keep a cautious, yet calming tone. I keep your pets company and am respecting of the space they are willing to share with me. I understand that comfort level varies for each animal and am willing to make adjustments based on each pet's needs. I will be sure to give them lots of love and cuddles if they are open to that as well!!

“Ellie was great, very thankful for how she cared for Maple!”

“Aria was absolutely wonderful!! Our cat Milo is usually very shy at first, but not with her! He warmed right up to her the minute he met her! Aria was very accommodating and saw Milo with very short notice. We will definitely be rebooking in the future :) we can’t thank her enough! If we could give 10 stars we would!”

“My little dog Bella, is much older now. Her face is white as a ghost. Laura understood that my older dog has special requirements like a nice slow walk and light play-time.”
