“Always super helpful and nice when I book with her. This was a last minute booking and I’m so thankful she was available. My dog has crazy anxiety and compared to the first time and this one she took barely any time to get used to Kaelin.”


“Paige was a fantastic dog sitter. We have two dogs who aren’t the best with strangers, but during the meet and greet she made them feel comfortable and did very well with them. She was so communicative during the stay, updated with pictures, and asked about certain behaviors to ensure she wasn’t letting bad behavior happen. She was so so amazing and definitely recommend!!!”


“Once again, Kelly is truly a gem! She stayed overnight with my fur baby Fox Fox and went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe, loved, and completely at ease while I was away. He is in the best hands when Kelly’s around — calm, content, and totally spoiled with love and attention. Kelly’s updates are always reassuring and heartfelt, and her genuine care for animals really shines through. I am so grateful to have someone so dependable and compassionate looking after my little gent. Thank you, Kelly, and until next time! 🐾”


“Ellie is an absolute pleasure. She's exceptionally polite and very efficient with her time. She stayed with my pup and gave her plenty of walks, lots of time and care and I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND her. She was pleasant from the meet n greet all the way to the end. She asked great questions to ensure she knew as much as she could including any of homesitting needs before staying at my home. She also sent me tons of updates and photos while I was away. I was so comfortable with her and her communication was tip top! If anyone is need of a sitter, Ellie is your person, hands down! BOOK HER NOW!!!!”


“Christal was absolutely amazing with my puppy! I felt so safe leaving my new puppy for the first time with her. Great at sending updates and pics which I appreciate! And she was super flexible when my travel plans got delayed. 10/10 would recommend :)”


“Zach was such a blessing to us. He was so understanding and flexible with our needs and our old doggies and kitties love him. He was attentive and thorough with all our millions of instructions for taking care of our geriatric Great Danes with many health issues. He also took care of some things last minute for us that I had forgotten to do. It was such a relief to find someone we could trust to stay with our boys. Thank you Zach ❤️”


“Cody was so great - my pup was on a great vacation, with lots of attention and care. Highly recommend Cody if you need someone reliable, kind and great at communication!”


“She is AMAZING! Excellent communication and extremely reliable, If you need a dog sitter Patricia goes above and beyond for your pet and he had a great time.”


“Megan took wonderful care of our fur babes and our home. It’s so stressful leaving our elderly cat that has some health issues, but she handled everything with ease. Communication was great and I really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. I highly recommend Megan :)”


“Corrinn did a great job! She provided updates often and seemed to really bond with my kitties. I have 4 senior cats that have special needs and I felt very at ease with them in her care. They are very routine orientated and Corrinn didn’t miss a beat with the feeding and medicine schedules. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.”


About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs from puppy to senior, as my parents both had dogs of their own and raised puppies. I am experienced with a wide variety of breeds from my time volunteering at the Fairfield Humane Society and have spent time pet sitting for many of my neighbors. I work remotely part time, so I set my own hours. This gives me ample time to spend with your best friend while you work or have other commitments to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. I have a fenced in backyard and am willing to cater my care to your dogs preferences from walk time to crate time and everything in between.

About: I’ve been raised with animals my whole life! I have had various cats, fish, dogs and, even a hedgehog over the years. I was also responsible for walking the two family dogs. I’ve pet sat several times for family friends in the past. I love cats and dogs, (of any size) and have true compassion for any animal I meet, as if they were my own pet. Let me know if you have any questions! I work Monday-Friday, 9-5. I am flexible to stop by early mornings, after work, and on the weekends! I’m happy to work with you to determine the best schedule that fits your pets needs. If I am in your home to complete a service the utmost caution would be exercised to respect your space while caring for your furry friend!

About: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Friends, neighbors, and loved ones have all sought my care for many years for both their dogs and cats. Being a teacher, I have the entire summer to help care for pets, so choose me for your pet care needs! I have very open availability for walks, daily care, and overnight care. I work as an elementary school teacher during the majority of the year, but my summers are completely free! Each pet and each household is different, so catering to the needs of each pet is a priority. Following diet instructions, making sure pets get proper play and exercise time, and lots and lots of love are all priorities of mine.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my diverse experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I understand that every dog is unique, and I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. This includes specialized skills like administering medications, ensuring your dog receives their doses on time and correctly. I'm also very active and love to incorporate invigorating walks into our routine, just like I do with my own dogs. I'm passionate about providing attentive and personalized care to make sure your furry friend feels comfortable and happy while you're away. My school schedule runs from 11:00 AM - 1:40 PM on Monday/Wednesday and 12:00 PM - 3:30 PM on Tuesday/Thursday. This means I have plenty of time for pet care before and after classes on those days. As for the weekends, I have most availability on Sundays, but I can always move around my schedule to make time for pet care. I specialize in providing in-home pet sitting, ensuring your pets stay happy and comfortable in their own environment. My focus is on maintaining their routines and keeping your home tidy – I always leave it as clean, or cleaner, than I found it. I'm also happy to handle light housekeeping tasks, like getting the mail or taking care of plants, so you return to a perfectly cared-for home.

“Lilly is the best! She’s watched my cat Charlie several times while I’ve been out of town, and I always feel so at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. Charlie is usually pretty shy, but she has totally come out of her shell with Lilly! It’s clear how much she genuinely cares for the pets she watches and I think they can also feel that.

Paige was a fantastic dog sitter. We have two dogs who aren’t the best with strangers, but during the meet and greet she made them feel comfortable and did very well with them. She was so communicative during the stay, updated with pictures, and asked about certain behaviors to ensure she wasn’t letting bad behavior happen. She was so so amazing and definitely recommend!!!

Ashley took amazing care of our dog and provided us frequent updates and pictures! Our dog was experiencing some health issues and having frequent bathroom accidents so we really appreciated Ashley’s gentleness and patience with her and her availability to work from our home.

Nicole did an awesome job taking care of my two dogs and two cats while I was away on vacation. She was great with communication, following directions, and making sure all the animals received love. One cat is elderly and blind, but I feel like I left my baby in good hands while away. House and critters were all looking good when I got back. I would definitely use her services again!

To say Cody did a good job is an understatement. He did an absolutely sensational job. Firstly, he clearly loves dogs. He bought in to their individual personalities, and even said he felt like a guest star in their own little reality show. He understood what they needed and made sure they felt comforted, played with, and taken care of while we were gone. He listened to our dogs’ specific needs and tailored his sitting to each dog without losing sight of any of them. He felt inclined to make sure we as the dogs owners were Kept up to date continually updating us with photos and check-ins and never left us in the lurch or without answers. He asked all the right questions, and if he didn’t know something asked for more info. He was the perfect person to watch our little pack. We couldn’t recommend Cody highly enough.

Emily has walked Dottie but this was her first time staying with her overnight. She truly went above and beyond and totally put my mind at ease. I know my Dottie was having a great time too because she ate her food!! She normally won’t eat when we’re gone. So thankful for Emily and the peace of mind!

I highly recommend Sarah to anyone who needs a house sitter! She was so communicative and made us feel totally at ease as she took care of our 3 cats and dog while we were out of the country. She also very resourcefully got into our house after the key I made her didn’t work! I’d give her ten stars if I could.
