Kourtney did a great job with my 4 cats and made sure their needs were met during our vacation. She was very good with communication and sending photos. I would recommend her.

Emily is awesome and I can tell from the photos that my nervous pup is super comfortable with her. There have been several times when she has been able to take care of Homer on short notice and she has been reliable and trustworthy.

About: I’ve done daily visits and taken care of a variety of pets of all different sizes. I’m prepared to work with animals of all needs and am not scared of special requests! I go to a local college during the week but I live near by and am able to drive to client’s houses. My classes have bigger gaps and would be able to visit pets between classes or before or after. I have 10 years of experience handling reptiles and have lived with dogs my whole life. My dogs go on up to 3-4 walks a day and I am able to visit a clients house to pay their pets a visit or take them for walks multiple times daily if needed.

Lauren was really nice and communicative while watching my 2 cats! She was able to give my kitty his pills while I was gone and checked in and sent photos every time she stopped by. She also answered within a week of when I needed a sitter! Definitely would recommend booking with Lauren :)

Rebekah was extremely responsive and accommodating, and my cat seemed to really like her when she did her drop in visits while I was away. Very pleasant experience all around, highly recommend.

About: Hi! I’m a full-time therapist and lifelong animal lover. I have two dogs of my own who are currently training to become therapy dogs, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. I love spending time with animals and have cared for and pet sat for friends’ pets many times over the years. I’d love to help keep your pet (dog or cat) happy, safe, and well cared for! My full-time work schedule varies from week to week, which allows me flexibility in my availability. Depending on the day, I can often accommodate walks and visits in the early morning, mid-afternoon, or late evening. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs and will communicate clearly about my availability to ensure reliable care for your pet. I care for pets in their own environment where they feel most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain their routine, provide plenty of affection and exercise, and keep owners updated with photos and messages. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

About: I have always been an animal lover, having multiple cats, dogs, chickens and taking care of the animals on my aunt’s farm since I was a child. I work at a doggy daycare which has enhanced my knowledge of different breeds energy levels, mannerisms and needs as they grow older. I would love to give your furry kids all the fun, love and care they would otherwise miss while you are away! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to give your furry kids lots of love and attention! I’m available on the weekends, mornings 7-11am and at night after 6:30pm and offer overnight care everyday. I will follow any instructions or suggestions you give me and always respect your home. If you have a fenced in yard I will let your kids run wild, if not, I will happily take them on a 30 min walk minimum and play with them lots afterward so they get a good exercise! I will give them lots if attention and kisses and send you pictures of them living their best life!

Serena was absolutely wonderful! I would leave her 10 stars if I could. Serena was timely and reliable, and put my mind at ease while I was away from our highly energetic and anxious new puppy. My neighbors all raved about how wonderful her interactions were while she was outside with him 😊 she was great about sending pictures and communication while I was away. Serena was also very accommodating with my last minute schedule changes and continually put me at ease. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Nikki took care of my dog for two days, and this whole experience has been excellent. She is caring and gentle to my animals, and also watched over my cats even though that wasn’t included in her duties. Thank you very much for that! I think Nikki genuinely cares about animals, and I would highly recommend her services. She has walked my dog, fed my dog, and played with him during the visits. I received photos from her while I was away from my home, and I feel very safe to have let her take care of my dog. Also, Nikki was very friendly and professional. I definitely would hire her to take care of my dog again next time I have to be away from home.

About: I have over 25 years of pet care experience with my own pets, and I walk dogs at the Humane Society on Saturdays & was trained by their incredible staff in basic dog training techniques in 2024. In addition to dogs & cats, I have owned and cared for guinea pigs, a chinchilla, rabbits, chickens, chameleon, and iguana! I would love to care for your pet(s) and help give you some peace of mind while you're away. I would love to walk your dog(s), and/or care for your pet(s), on Mon, Tues, Weds, Thurs, Fri & Sun anytime between 6:00 am- 7:30 am, as well as between 3:30 pm - 8:00 pm. I am willing to travel to the following towns: Lebanon, Colchester, Waterford, New London, Norwich, Bozrah, Colombia, Windham, Franklin, Salem, Lisbon, Montville, and other surrounding Towns (depending on mileage). I am also available Saturday mornings when booked in advance. I care for my two cats at home, they are rescue and special needs. I administer medications, food, ensure they are groomed appropriately to avoid any matting, and spend lots of fun play time with them! I make sure they get proper nutrition and stimulation throughout the day. We love our cats! I will treat your animals as if they are my own, because each little animal being deserves specialized care & attention, just like their human counterparts!

About: I’ve taken care of pets in many settings, including messier households! (Not a neat freak so it does not bother me!) I trained my Doberman on Couch to 5k, running through all the trails in RI. I’ve taught my cat how to shuffle cards, play piano, and spin in a circle on command, and my mom’s old cat would always practice Pilates with us at 6 in the morning. Recently I dropped in for a friend’s 2 cats, even the shy one eventually warmed up to me! They required medication in their food so she left detailed, neatly handwritten notes on the table, which helped a lot! She allowed me to eat lunch there so of course I’d always ensure the kitchen was clean and the way I found it. My aunt’s sister’s cavapoo loved fetch, although I think she had ADHD like me, but I always got her to refocus! I also used to bathe my mother’s rag doll cat Dory every now and then and I would help trim minor mats in her fur. Even my photographer’s cat sat in my lap randomly during our meeting when she had to step away for a call! Growing up, I often took care of family and friends’ cats and dogs, playing fetch with them, and of course, playing music for them. I usually help my mom trim my cat’s nails. Growing up around my friend’s horses, I’ve always had a connection with animals. I always tell people, I sold my first CD because a German shepherd fell in love with it, and wouldn’t let his owners continue walking until he heard the end of the song. (I play acoustic guitar, piano, and sing). We taught my friend’s Dobermans how to sing, and made sure he didn’t eat anything he wasn’t supposed to as he was a troublemaker! We also always took my dogs to nice restaurants and kept them well-mannered and quiet. Outside of pet sitting, I enjoy walks in nature, going out to eat, teaching music lessons in the evenings, and watching comedies. My cat’s latest hobbies include watching the birds, and he apparently likes the music channels as he cries when I turn them off. On Sundays I often visit my boyfriend’s mom’s German Shepherd, Bruno. His hearing is sensitive (even reactive to splashing in the pool!) so we make sure to approach him very gently and warmly, and he loves fetch and “chase the ball!” I also am used to visiting people’s homes, both when I was a case manager as well as an independent music instructor. Outside of work, I very much enjoy meditation, reading about nutrition, writing music, yoga, and painting. My cat Fin Fin also loves to try to help me paint, often nearly dipping his whiskers in as he says hello! Nowadays we tend to simply cuddle on the couch. If you choose me for your pet’s care, I intend to give them an amazing experience per your expectations and frequent photo check-ins, just like our pet sitter did for us. I’m very adaptable and have flexible availability, just ask! One of my favorite activities is running, I can always walk or run with your pet, or if you prefer us to lounge, I have lots of great pet-friendly shows on our nice TV. I love driving so I’m happy to drive to you if it’s further away - as I am regularly back and forth between Westerly, RI and Uncasville, CT. Outside of teaching in a formal studio, I’ve worked in client’s homes for therapy-related meetings as well as for music lessons - and believe it or not often times there are pets who love to sing along to the music! I usually stay home in the morning so I can easily take care of your pet between 7 am and 2 pm. I used to have an office job but found it too sedentary and draining; I discovered I thrive in outdoor and home environments. I’m excited to enter this new chapter and care for animals! I have a partially fenced yard so I would generally take pets out on a leash but it is a non-busy road and very safe - the lawn is freshly mowed and we have a playground your dog can weave around! I also have a cute little neighborhood that we can circle around that is far from the highway and if your pet loved car rides, we can always go to the park and get ice cream! Occasionally our neighbor’s dog likes to come over unsolicited but he is always very gentle and friendly! My cats are also used to my mom’s boyfriend’s rambunctious dogs coming in and out from time to time and we have plenty of doors and rooms in the house and baby gates if we ever needed to keep pets separate! We also have a spare pet bed if needed that was gifted to us - we always want to make sure your pet is comfortable sleeping at night!

Tina was absolutely amazing! I had to leave for a few days and she responded so quickly to the request, followed by a meet and greet, and then constant communication throughout the days I was away. She took loving care of my senior kitty (18 years old), which required giving daily medications and cleaning up messes since my elderly baby has trouble with incontinence. Extremely friendly and personable. I highly recommend her to anyone. She put my mind to ease as I was very worried about my girl while away.
