About: I've been caring for dogs and pets for many years through my own pets, family, and friends. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, including senior dogs that may need extra patience and attention. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, administering oral medications when needed, providing regular exercise, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout each stay. What sets me apart is my focus on communication, reliability, and treating every pet like a member of my own family. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners so you can travel with confidence knowing your pet is in caring hands. Pets are already a regular part of my daily routine, so caring for additional pets fits naturally into my schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I am committed to following each pet's routine and providing regular updates for peace of mind. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I'm in my home or a client's home, I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I take time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and any safety concerns before care begins. I always ensure pets have access to fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and supervision. During walks, I use secure leashes and remain aware of my surroundings. In a client's home, I respect their space, keep doors and gates secure, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners know their pets are happy and safe. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, loving, and stress-free experience while their family is away.

About: Caring for pets has always been my passion! I’ve grown up with cats and dogs of all kinds and have always been very adamant in making sure they receive the best care and all the love possible. I’ve worked professionally with animals in doggy day care setting and worked closely with dog trainers. My husband is also a vet technician who has spent his whole career working with animals including in dog kennels and doggy day care. Our life purpose is caring for animals, our own and yours! You can be sure your pet is being cared for deeply while you are away! I have taken my passion for pet care full time! Please contact me for availability, I am booking up quickly but I have a wide range of availability for different services. From house sitting to dog walking, I also offer pet waste collection/removal & nail trims. We have a very well sized fully fenced back yard and an open home. Our home does have other cats and dogs so we mostly require guest to be adapted to this kind of environment. However, we have spaces in home available to keep a dog separate for their comfort levels if need be. Case by case. As far as animal care in our home or yours, we treat them as our own. Each animal has a different personality and different needs, which for us is easy to understand. If I am away home sitting for work, my husband is home caring for our animals. Please reach out and ask any questions you’d like for more information.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, my entire life into a adulthood. I’ve taken care of everything from puppies, senior dogs battling cancer, and dog recovering from surgery.

“Daniella was amazing!! She came over to meet us before our trip and the dogs immediately loved her. She sent us pictures and updates each time she came over and never did I worry or wonder about how the pups were doing. She's extremely friendly and trustworthy and I will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”

About: I’ve owned 3 dogs over my life time and my parents just now adopted a 4th one I will be taking care of part time. Two of the boys passed at the same ages of 13 and Pete is now 11 doing great. Reggie is 15 weeks old and is the best boy in the world. I am free every day right now as I’m off from school for the semester. I can wrap my schedule around your and your pups needs. Morning, noon, or night I can be there. When it comes to taking care of other people’s dogs, I treat them as if they are my own. I make sure they are taken care of in any way I need to or feel needs to be done.

“Friendly, nice, and great communication! Thanks again Bridgett!”

Charlie M.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my extensive experience and deep compassion for animals. Since 2013, I have had the privilege of pet-sitting for dog trainers, friends, and family, which has given me a solid foundation in understanding a variety of breeds and temperaments. I specialize in providing attentive care to both puppies and senior dogs, ensuring they receive the love and attention they need at every stage of life. Additionally, I've taken in strays and nursed them back to health, demonstrating my commitment to the well-being of all animals. When you choose me as your pet sitter, you're choosing someone who loves your pets as much as you do. Currently, I'm taking time away from work as a County Planner, allowing me to dedicate my full attention to caring for your animals 24/7 with enough notice. This means your pets will receive around-the-clock care and companionship, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for at all times. I provide comprehensive care for pets in both my home and my clients' homes, tailored to meet each pet's unique needs. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, administering medication, or just providing companionship, I ensure your pets receive the attention and love they deserve. My services are flexible to accommodate your schedule, so feel free to reach out for time and availability—I'm here to make sure your pets are happy and healthy, no matter where they are.

About: While my experience caring for pets professionally is limited, I worked in healthcare for a short stint out of high school, delivering medical oxygen supplies to peoples homes, and setting up the equipment for patients. One of my favorite parts of the job was when the patients had pets! Frequently, their pets warmed up to me as soon as I was welcomed in to do my work, which would always brighten up my day. Of course, I have pets myself. I've been caring for my cat, Winslow, for about a year and a half now. He's fantastically affectionate and he's been an excellent companion in my home. I also help my parents with their cats, since I live with them at the moment. As one last note, at my last job I attained a CPR certification from the American Heart Association. Human focused, of course, but I stilled learned the signs of a crisis in living beings and what to do when life hangs in the balance. I hope never to have to use said skills, but if a pet has a delicate health situation, I am equipped to get them the help they need if things take a turn for the worse. I am between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is about as open as it gets. I have my own responsibilities to tend to with my cat, but my parents can take care of him if your furry friend needs me around all day. First things first is a meet and greet to make sure your pet is comfortable around me. Once your pet and I have made each-other's acquaintance, we'll talk about how you usually go about caring for them yourself so we don't throw a wrench in their habits. If you're having me spend time in your home, we'll talk about how you expect me to conduct myself while house sitting.

About: I have a bachelor's degree in Animal Behavior from UCONN, graduated in 2005. Since then I become a Fear Free Certified Professional Trainer and Certified Cat Behavior Consultant. I also have experience as a veterinary assistant so I can give medications and quickly spot any illnesses. I am confident in my ability to care for your puppy or kitten, those in their senior years, and all ages in between. I have experience caring for chickens, hoof stock, fish, vegetarian reptiles, rabbits, rodents, and ferrets. I generally see clients Tuesdays through Saturdays, but I am open to caring for pets on Sundays and Mondays once in a while. My preferred working hours are 9am to 7pm, but I understand that pet care requires flexibility! At this time I only offer in-your-home pet care. You do not need to be present, once we are confident your dog is comfortable with me entering your home. I will do my best to keep your pet's routine while under my care in order to minimize their anxiety. I'm happy to give treats and spoil them, with approved goodies only.

“Genna took wonderful care of my 2 cats while I was out of the country. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything was going well while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable sitter.”

About: I absolutely adore animals and especially dogs and cats! Iv had both over the years and they truly are a blessing to have in your life! I think what sets me apart is that I genuinely care so much about the animals I’m sitting no matter who’s they are, I’d want the best for my cats so I do my best for your babies to! I love to clean and make sure the animals are cared for and feel loved while your gone the best I can.

My job is to make your life easier so you can rest easier ☺️ I care for the animals best I can, how’d I want someone to treat my fur babies, I treat others. Giving a clean space, try to follow their original schedule as close as possible, extra loving time and play time ect.

“Claire has the calmest and most gentle demeanor and Chloe instantly took to her. She was very easy to communicate with and we are already planning to use her again this week!”

Morgan A.

“Kennedy was absolutely amazing. When she came to meet the dogs she asked all the important questions, did not feel rushed at all. All the animals loved her (even the cats came out) and I loved the peace of mind knowing she was there. We will definitely be using her services again”
