Jade is so amazing, I cannot reccomend her more highly. I book her every time I go out of town. She takes the time to get to know each cat's quirks and loves them on their terms. The peace of mind she gives is priceless.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. My job has been to feed them, give them water, clean up after them, take them for walks, and give them medication. I also currently have a senior dog, so I have some experience with them! I have experience with small and big dogs alike. I am a college student who is home for the summer, so I have full availability. During the school year, I will work around my class schedule. Evenings and weekends will be free for sure. We have a fenced yard at home. Still, I watch my dogs just in case. In spring/summer I check for ticks every time they go out. When we go on walks, I am always diligent when we pass another dog. If my dogs aren't up for walks, especially my senior dog, we go out into the backyard and play fetch or run around.

Kelsey was fantastic! I needed a new dog sitter last minute so we could go to a wedding that night, and she not only accepted the job, but came over in the afternoon for a lengthy meet and greet. My 1 1/2 year old pup is 75 lbs and very strong, and I had no worries that she could handle him even if they ran in to other people and dogs on their walk. Rocky took to her right away, and we were able to relax and have fun at the wedding. Thanks Kelsey!

Elizabeth was great! Our furkids loved her and she loved them! She gave them plenty of attention and followed all of the instructions left for her and sent a ton of great pictures which made us feel very comfortable having left them in her care! I hesitate to give such a good review because I don’t want everyone to book her up and make her too busy for us - but she was great!

About: Hi everyone - currently work from my house and have a really flexible schedule, my 9 year old dog, Kona, loves playing with other dogs, so I thought this would be a good fit. He is really social and well behaved. I have experience taking him on lots of pack hikes, usually with 2 or more dogs, off leash, but also spend a lot of 1x1 time with him. I have had him since he was a puppy, and have plenty of experience with younger dogs as well. I drive an SUV so I can easily accommodate dogs in my car as well. Hope to meet you and you dog(s) soon! I’m currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I work from home and also teach yoga a few times a week. I have an SUV so can transport! I’m also familiar with a lot of amazing hiking and walking spots in the area. I am certified in CPR and also hav extensive experience in dog walking/ handling my own dog and others. I take time to listen, feel and observe the dog in my care. I make sure to meet their needs and also listen to owners needs.

About: Your custom care is here. I’ve taken care of German Shepherds and small teacup poodles. Let me know what you need and I will do my best! I’m a full-time teacher so I get out of school at four so I can walk your dog then. I work in Hartford so I can also let your fur baby out on my break. Let me know if you need me watch or sit any of your pets over the weekend. Blessings! I live in a large condo association with lots of paved areas to walk. Some elevation and other friendly dogs around here. There’s a large vacant parking lot if they want to throw a ball or frisbee. There is a trail nearby if they want to walk in the woods or on rocks and dirt.

Whether you’re away for a day or a week, you can rest easy knowing your dog is in trusted hands, getting belly rubs, playtime, and the personal attention they deserve. Because peace of mind isn’t a luxury — it’s a promise. Consider me as your on-call pet sitter. I have currently moved to California all the way from the east coast. Whenever you need me, I’m here ! How I Care for Pets in Your Home – With Safety, Trust, and Comfort at the Heart of It All When I care for your pets, whether I’m house sitting, walking them, or simply dropping in, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, personality, and needs — and I take the time to learn and follow your instructions closely to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and familiar. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship, always with an eye on their behavior and well-being. For drop-ins and walks, I show up reliably and treat your pet like my own — keeping them on safe routes, away from hazards, and paying close attention to their body language and comfort. I always prioritize secure leash handling, water breaks, and positive reinforcement. Your trust means everything to me, and I care for your pets and home with professionalism, love, and integrity.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and have experience with all kinds of personalities and ages, from puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. I currently have a senior dog myself, so I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable with extra care routines. Friends and family always count on me first for pet sitting because I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like my own. I also have experience caring for cats and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I’m able to accommodate all kinds of pet care needs including walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, puppy care, and senior pets who need extra attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or a client’s home, they’ll get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day.

Hunter went above and beyond while caring for our three cats for this past week. When the storm was approaching, she texted me to see if I wanted her to put our water bowls in case the power went out. It did, and she did put water out. From the pics, I could tell that Emma warmed up to Hunter right away. Iris got her pills even though she was skittish. Thank you, Hunter, for taking care of the kids.

Last minute dog care and she was wonderful! She even helped pick up some items that fell outside the house due to a storm while we were away. Plus she communicated anything that she had concerns about our house we were out of town. Very detailed reports and cute pictures of our doggie :) 100% recommend and definitely use her again!

Drake came to meet our 2 yr old rambunctious 80 pound dog and they became fast friends. Drake is easy to communicate with and responds within a reasonable amount of time. Drake “knows” dogs. He knew our guy was still young and learning so his manners may need reinforcement…and did so patiently. I would DEFINITELY have Drake for our sitter without hesitation!

10/10!! Ally took the time to come meet my pup Jax prior to her first visit so we made sure he and she were comfortable! She takes him on adventures to different parks and bodies of water so he can let his energy out while his momma works! And she is always sure to send pictures, videos, and all updates! Happy pup, happy life!
