About: I absolutely love dogs and have had at least one all my life. Let me take care of your fur baby and love it like it’s my own! Happy to work with all ages, from crazy puppies to golden seniors. I am working remotely, so I have a flexible schedule for taking care of your pup! Available weekdays and weekends to help out however needed I create a safe and trusting environment for your pets to make sure they are comfortable in your absence. I currently own a shy senior shelter dog and a rowdy puppy, so Im used to adjusting to different pup personalities to make them happy!

Absolutely outstanding! Gabriela is punctual, reliable, and fantastic with my dog. She sends clear updates and photos after every walk, makes sure water bowls are filled, and always wipe paws on rainy days. My pup comes home happy, calm, and well-exercised. The attention to detail (double checking the leash, securing the door, and noting any changes in behavior) gives me total peace of mind. Couldn’t ask for better care, highly recommend!

Nicole graciously agreed to walk my dog at the last minute. She was conscientious about the dog’s needs and safety and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she could provide the best care. When it was too hot for a long walk outside, it was her idea to spend part of the time practicing training inside so my pup would still get mental stimulation. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs and is highly responsible.

Rachel walked our very active dog Charlie when I needed help after surgery. Charlie would wait at the window for her every morning and came home tired after every walk! In addition to being great with our dog, she’s a really great person who was super flexible with scheduling! Will definitely book with her again in the future!

About: I am an animal loving person with a lot of experience with dogs. I studied animal science at Wamogo Regional High School and am a graduate of Central Connecticut State University. I understand how hard it is to go away on vacation as a pet owner, as I have a dog, cat, fish, and five goats! I have experience with cows, pigs, sheep, and a ton of experience with horses. I am also very experienced and comfortable with administering medications. I will treat your animals as if they were my own and I will accommodate all of their needs. I love all types and sizes of dogs too! Please do not hesitate to contact me! Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! :) I work full time remotely, so my schedule is rather flexible. I will try my best to accommodate your and your pets schedules. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! Safety and trust play a huge role in the bond created between me and my animals. I place large importance on getting animals to be comfortable in order for them to trust, while maintaining a level of safety in the form of training.

We’ve only been with Olivia for a week and I already feel like my boy is in the best hands. She’s so warm and caring with him. She keeps me updated with photos and little check-ins throughout the day, which means the world to a dog parent. So grateful we found her!

Ann is a wonderful caregiver for pets. It's clear how much she loves dogs. She was an excellent communicator from the very first message to the report after walking a highly energetic lab. She handled all of the quirks while making sure my dog got a good walk and was well taken care of. Highly recommend.

Max was great. Went above and beyond both days we used his services. Day One went a little awry with one of our dogs getting injured (through no fault of Max's!) And he communicated immediately and even waited with our dogs until we were able to make it home even though he didn't have to. Would highly recommend Max and would use him again in the future.

Hilary did a great job taking care of Mona while we were away. Communication was excellent, she was reliable, and it was clear Mona was comfortable and happy in her care. Mona is 17 and has a few extra needs, including medication, and Hilary handled everything perfectly. We came home to a happy dog and had complete peace of mind while we were gone. We’d absolutely book with her again.
