“Melissa is a lifesaver! She was able to come check on my cat while I was away for 11 days. She made sure he had plenty of food, water and treats! She also sent me pictures of him with each visit so I knew he was being well taken care of :) I will absolutely book with her in the future and if you live in the New London/Groton area and need a pet-sitter, you can take comfort in knowing your pet will be well taken care of by Melissa!”
“This was my 1st time utilizing the services of a pet sitter. Cindy went above & beyond in reassuring me that everything will be fine. My fur babies were very well taken care of & I will definitely be securing the services of Cindy in the future. Thank you 😊”
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job caring for our cat Bud while we went out of town for two nights. He warmed up to her quickly and seemed very comfortable from the many check in pics. She was responsive, flexible and went above and beyond by cleaning up after him when he made a mess. I would highly recommend her services! I usually impose on a friend when we go away so I’m thrilled to know I have another responsible person to call on who Bud likes and trusts. Thank you Elizabeth!”

About: My first job was working in a pet store at the age of 16 where I cared for cats, dogs, birds, fresh/saltwater fish, hamsters, gerbils, sugar gliders, fancy rats, mice, ferrets, rabbits, and reptiles (snakes, savannah monitors, geckos, and frogs). I am capable of clipping bird feathers, trim cat and dog nails, and basic pet cleaning (litter box, scooping dog poop, bird cage/ fish tank/rodent habitat cleaning). I can tire out your cat or dog by playing with them. My cats usually get tired when I play with them and my friends' dogs are the same way. 😁 I'm currently working full-time Monday through Friday so I am available for long weekends if you need a getaway with an appropriate seven day notice. I will treat your pet like they are my own. I will only provide care in your home so they will be in a comfortable environment. I'm happy to walk your dog (or cat of they are leash and harness trained) or even go on a hike with them provided they walk well on a leash. I will discuss a care plan with you if overnights are required.
