“Really positive experience with Albert and Amanda. They helped me out in a last minute bind, provided some great training while I was at work, and offered a nice and clean environment to leave my pup!”

“As a newcomer to Connecticut, I needed a dog sitter on short notice and was initially anxious about leaving my dog, Gingi. However, Jessica exceeded all my expectations. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism and kindness, providing regular updates without any prompting. Receiving photos of Gingi during my lunch breaks reassured me that he was well cared for and enjoying himself. Additionally, Gingi always smelled wonderful when I picked him up. I will definitely continue to book with her in the future. Highly recommended—10/10”

“Karen was a great dog sitter for our little guy. She sent photo updates, was kind, & we knew our dog was in good hands. We would definitely book with Karen again. Thank you.”

“Britney is wonderful with Sadee. Our 1st week went exceptionally well. Sadee was happy to see her each morning I dropped off. So happy we found her.”

“Erica, Thomas and the kids were great with Lenny. When I went to pick him up, he looked happy and was definitely tired from a full day of fun. Erica was very flexible with drop off time, I had to drop Lenny off really early to leave for work, and I also had to book his stay last minute, and they were able to accommodate it. I received photos and updates from Lenny all day during his stay. Lenny will definitely stay with Erica and her family again.”

Maria S.

“I highly recommend Shelby! She provided top-notch care for Kuma and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. Communication was excellent and I was updated regularly with pictures and updates. I felt confident leaving my dog in their capable hands and will definitely be using their services again in the future. 5 stars!”

“Isabelle and Zachary took our dog Shea. I’m very short notice because we had to attend a funeral. She felt very welcome and went on a nice long walk with Isabelle and the other dogs. She seemed to settle in right away with everything and felt very comfortable. I was a bit late in returning from the funeral and the they were very gracious about it. We will be sure to trust Shea here when we return to this area. Awesome experience!”

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals. If they have four legs, I pretty much enjoyed to be around. Zoos are my place to experience all breeds of life. I currently work from home. This has allowed me to have all the time needed to bond with pets. I also enjoy my 3 acres of space. I want to have it used by any pet who loves to roam outside. Just alot of space to entertain pets. My yard is not all fenced in. However its away from any sort of traffic. Very quite and alot of pet friendly homes. I can assure to put safety first at all cost.

“Autumn was awesome. Her house was super dog friendly with a great backyard. She sent pictures of both my dogs during the day. We used her several times and each time my dogs would race out of the car into her house. She clearly is a dog loving person. Highly recommend.”

Jacqueline K.

“Stephen was awesome, kept Gracei happy and safe during her visits while I had to work. I felt very comfortable leaving her there for my first Rover experience and first puppy ever. He kept me updated throughout the day and is very flexible with time. Thank you and can’t wait to book with Stephen again!”

About: I have taken care of pets ranging from ferrets to cats and dogs. I’ve done overnights at friends and family’s homes and have hosted dogs and cats for a few days to a couple weeks. I currently foster dogs through East Coast Canine Rescue. I’ve fostered 9 week old puppies and adult dogs up to 65 lbs. I can work with your dog on leash training and other manners on our walks. I use positive reinforcement and strong communication skills to make for a fun and relaxing walk or playtime for your dog. I also love cats and would be happy to take care of your cat as well! I am a high school math teacher and am home off and on during the weekend and summer and almost every week day after 3 pm during the school year. I am open to caring for dogs with all types of needs and am very active. I pretty much love dogs more than humans and can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I am a teacher so I am very available on days and weekends in the summer. I am an early riser and could stop by mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I have a five year old dog, Pria, who I leash walk 2 times a day and play with in the yard using an e-collar. I also attend the dog park to help socialize her. She is very friendly and I am also happy to socialize your dog with Pria as well and train them to leash walk together if interested!

“Marie was amazing with our one year-old golden retriever, pup! She asked all the right questions and I could tell when I picked him up that he was very well cared for and well loved. In fact, he was snuggled up on the couch with her husband when we arrived! You can’t beat that! I’d not hesitate to recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be using her again.”

About: Hi there! Thanks for checking out our profile! We love playing with, walking, and being around dogs. Raelynn is a certified (CPDT-KA, FDM-T) dog trainer who pet sits with her extra time, and Sean is a full-time music teacher who is more available in the afternoons and in summer. We tag-team with the dogs that stay with us! We have a large fenced-in yard that your pets will enjoy and three playmates for your pups! We have cared for dogs of all ages and all sizes, and we'd love to hear from you. Even if we are not working on training with your dog, you will be comforted knowing that a trainer is not letting your pup learn or continue any bad habits while they are staying with us. For day-care, dogs will be supervised by Raelynn and will participate in small group play. This gives the dogs a great socialization experience with a certified trainer, ensuring that your pup gets positive socialization experience without being overwhelmed by too many dogs at once! Dogs need to be able to rest comfortable in a crate or pen in between playtime, or for in the case of an emergency and Raelynn needs to leave the house. We are happy to accommodate schedule for your pup! Raelynn is at home most of the day, so I can let dogs out for exercise/potty breaks as much as needed. We both wake up early, so we can accommodate most schedules into our own. We have a large yard that is fully fenced-in. In the home, We have crates and many doors/pet gates in order to keep your pet safe as needed. The only steps in the house are a half staircase leading up from our entrance doorway.

About: I studied animals in Writtle college (work based animal studies level 2). I spent a year working in a doggy daycare and a few months working in a greyhound training kennel with over 200 dogs to take care of. As a child, I helped raise many Italian greyhound puppies because my mother used to breed them. I volunteer at a care farm in the Colchester area every Friday. I have dog walking insurance. I am available most of the time apart from Friday daytime and parts of Sunday when I'm at church. Any other commitments in my life can be moved around to fit in with your schedule. I have a 6 ft fenced garden although my flat does not go directly to it. I primarily work as a dog walker but would consider looking after your pets at my home. I do not smoke or vape and take the safety of your dogs very seriously. My flat is a good size and would therefore be suitable for larger dogs as well as small which would be well entertained and let outside regularly as well as walked.

“I highly recommend Chrystyanna! She was very sweet and my dogs had a lot of play time. They came home tired and happy after their day with her. I also received very funny pictures of them which I loved. I would definitely rebook!”

“Cecelia did a great job keeping Finn company while we visited UConn's campus for a tour - easy drop-off and pickup!”

About: I’ve had all kinds of pets growing up, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and some friendly neighborhood chickens. I love them all! I’ve been walking dogs since I was a freshman in high school and I don’t think i’ll ever get tired of it! I have a very flexible schedule since I only have a part time job, and I take quite a bit of work from this app :) I love taking walks, so I provide anywhere from two to four potty breaks or trips outside throughout the day. I also enjoy hiking and I like to bring pups with a bit more energy to tag along. I’m more than happy to stay in your home with your pets if discussed and my main concern is that your pets are happy, safe, and just like you left them.

About: COVID19 & my services: Special precautions I am taking **Upon Request by you** - wearing gloves, spraying items I’ve touched with my Lysol before leaving (such as door knobs), wearing a face mask. Social distancing during your free meet and greet. Free Video call meet and greets upon request. Please continue reading for more info about me and my pet sitting services below! Thank you and be well. I love dogs and cats! My love for animals started early in life, growing up always having pets and even making some of my first few bucks dog walking for neighbor’s dogs. I come from a family of care-takers, nurses and teachers, so naturally, I love taking care of people and what better way to do that than ensure their pets are cared for, too! I will make sure your precious doggies and pets are loved and taken care of just like it was my own dog or pet. There’s nothing like the peace of mind, knowing your beloved fur-baby is getting the attention, food, water, bathroom breaks, belly rubs, butt scratches, and exercise he or she deserves while you’re away or at work. I’ll be sure to give your dog and/or cats lots of love! One of my proudest memories is when my dog graduated “Puppy Manors Class”. I am happy to know what you’d like to work on with your dog in terms of behavior and training, and help in any way I can - or, follow any commands and training strategies you already have in place. Cesar Millan is one of my favorite dog trainers, for the way he is able to understand dogs and speak their language. Something interesting I’ve learned from him is that dogs actually DO have a sense of time, “Your dog does have a sense of time — and misses you when you’re gone. If you think your dog knows when it’s time for dinner or a walk, you’re right! Dogs pick up on our routines and habits, and they also sense how much time has passed. One study showed how dogs responded differently to their owners being gone for different lengths of time.” I understand the value and importance of a reliable pet care taker - our animals depend on us and miss us just like humans do with their friends and family, that’s why I know how important having a reliable and loving pet sitter is. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you! Please message me first for your free meet and greet. Thank you!

“Great communication, very friendly and accommodating to my crazy schedule on my work trip. My dog seemed super happy. I definitely recommend.”
