“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.”


“Leo has been letting our 2 huskies out daily through the work week for 2+ months now. He has been very kind and patient with our fur babies (one of our dogs is 13 years old and needs a lot of extra attention). Leo always makes sure to keep us updated on our dogs and has been very reliable. Highly, highly recommend Leo to watch your fur babies!”


“Orion and Alex were very kind and professional when I reached out about drop-in visits with Collins. I had never worked with a pet sitter before, and they were very gracious about all of my questions and the detailed instructions I left. Orion provided updates and pictures for me each time he and Alex visited my apartment, and they took the time to try and socialize with my sweet, yet somewhat, standoffish cat. I definitely plan to book time with Orion and Alex again!”


About: With over 10 years of pet care experience, including 3 years working at a dog daycare, I offer reliable, loving, and personalized care for your furry friends. I’m also Pet CPR certified, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in safe hands. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, drop in visits or simply keeping your pets company, I ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I share my home with two rescue dogs, chickens, turkeys, goats and four amazing rescue cats, each with their own story and big personalities. I’m also a foster, which means there’s usually a dog or cat in need of extra love staying with me and I’ll admit, I’m always one snuggle away from becoming a foster failure! Animals are my whole world! Whether it’s daily walks, check-ins, or overnight care, I’m here to provide reliable and loving care for your all pets! Open availability throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. From feeding and walking to playtime and cuddles, I follow your specific care instructions to maintain their routine and happiness while you’re away.

About: I've had dogs throughout my adult life and regularly care for a friend's three cats, so I'm no stranger to a variety of pet personalities! While I’m currently pet-free, I’d love the opportunity to care for yours. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow your instructions closely to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I exclusively house sit in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings. Whether your pet enjoys long walks or prefers lounging on the couch all day, I’m happy to match their energy. I have a special place in my heart for senior pets and bring a calm, patient presence to ensure they get the gentle care they need. I’m likely the best fit for your weekend getaways, as I work a 9–5 job outside the home on weekdays. That said, if your pet is comfortable being alone during the day — or if you're located near my workplace in Willimantic — I would be able to swing by for lunch-time drop-ins. Outside of work hours, you can count on me to spend plenty of quality time at home with your pet. I understand how important it is for your pet to receive the same level of care they get from you. I take note of all the details you share — from feeding routines and approved treats to medication schedules and special instructions. I believe this: your pets, your home, your rules. During our initial meet-and-greet, I’ll likely ask plenty of questions to make sure I have everything I need to provide the best care possible.

“Ashley was amazing and took the best care of our fur baby! Our kitty was comfortable with her right from the get go. She sent us video and photo check ins everyday that put our minds at ease while we were away. We really felt Huey was in the best hands.”


About: I have owned dogs throughout my whole life. At one point Our pack totaled 6. I’ve owned 2 horses, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and a cat. I worked as an apprentice vet tech until the veterinarian died unexpectedly of a heart attack. I have recently pursued more education regarding grooming. I have groomed my own dogs and friends dogs over the years. I am conscientious and will never allow a dog to be in pain seeking medical care immediately. I would like it to be part time to start with the option of going full time further down the road. I am working on grooming lessons, and my current part time job. I believe in being observant of their behaviors and to respond accordingly. Our dogs receive much love and play time. They are allowed to be with us and on our furniture. I realize that many owners frown upon that and I will honor their wishes when caring for their pet

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life since I was little. Growing up, my neighbors' and friends' dogs became honorary family members through countless walks, and I attended a summer camp held by the Humane Society to expand my pet care knowledge. When I was a teenager, we adopted a pet of our own - an elderly dog with a lot of special needs. Later on, I held a summer job on an educational farm, where I cared for a variety of farm animals on a daily basis and facilitated safe interactions with visitors. More recently, I've expanded my repertoire to include cats and house sitting. Right now I am available for full days on Sunday and Wednesday and nights from 6 pm to 8 am the rest of the week. I cannot board pets in my own home but am committed to meeting your pets' specific needs at your home or on walks. I find it best to have a conversation with prospective clients ahead of time about their expectations.

About: I have may years of experience caring for dogs. During each visit, each dog will receive some play time and a walk. I will be able to care for senior dogs with ease. Currently, I work part time, so I have lots of time to give each pet the time that is required to keep them happy and safe. While visiting with each pet, I will make sure that the pet has food, water, and play time. I will also make sure that their house is safe until their person comes home.

“Isabella was absolutely amazing and trusting in taking care of my dog :) she went above and beyond each stop by for him to make sure he was happy and felt loved. I will absolutely rebook Isabella next time I’m out of town!”


About: I have a large yard fully fenced in and a large home for your dog to hang out in! I have two rescue dogs that are like my children who love to play with new doggie friends! I love to play with them in the backyard and give them all the snuggles. I grew up with dogs and even as a child I walked dogs to earn extra money, I will treat your dogs like my own because they too are part of the family and deserve to be treated as so. From over night care or walking your doggies or just check ups your pup(s) they will have the best time with my and my babies! Can’t wait to care for a special part of your family!

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals. I’ve had 1 bird, 1 ferret, 5 cats, and 6 dogs. I’ve trained 2 Dogs to obey basic commands and good potty habits. Im available for boarding on Fridays through Sundays. I work from home on Friday and I don’t work the weekends at all. I can also be flexible during week days as needed. I take my dogs for walks every 3 hours or at their request. We play fetch and tug-o-war in my backyard. My basement is a complete doggy daycare.

“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 :)”


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!
