Tara was great and very flexible with the times we needed to have her come to our house to check on our dogs. Our schedules have been so hectic and it was nice to be able to depend on Tara to take care of the pups for us. We will definitely reach out to her again!

About: I have experience walking all different sizes of dogs and love spending time and going for a long walks and I am excited to walk a dog I plan my days around the pets I care for. I set aside specific time blocks for walks, feedings, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Pet care is a consistent and enjoyable part of my weekly routi In a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime rituals included. I keep their space clean, make sure they have fresh water at all times, and give them plenty of love and attention. I also respect the client’s home, keeping it neat and secure while they’re aw

Olivia accommodated a short-notice request without missing a beat. Took the time to meet Rosco and Roxy beforehand, sent great updates and photos throughout the day. It was clear they enjoyed every visit and were well taken care of. Reliable, communicative, genuinely caring. Highly recommend.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

About: I have been house sitting overnight since I was 14. I have experience working with dogs, cats, mice, and flying squirrels. Believe it or not, I have taken care of dogs who were indoor-trained only.I am also an experienced dog walker- not just with my own dogs but with friends' dogs that I've loved as my own. **serious inquiries only** please do not send me a booking request if you're going to ghost me after I respond or if you plan to book with another sitter. You'd be surprised by how often this happens. I abide by the safety precautions at the homes I stay at (fences, ring cameras, etc). When I stay with indoor cats, I take extra precautions when leaving the house to make sure the cats don't escape.

About: I have been a dog enthusiast for as long as I can remember. In my early twenties I found myself dog sitting often, and began volunteering at the Connecticut Humane Society as a dog walker and trainer. My passion for animals and nature fuels my desire to pet sit and dog walk full time. I am a student whose primary income is in dog walking and pet sitting. This means I am committed to giving your pet the attention and care they deserve! I have a family of my own but their routine is flexible. *I am on campus Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, thus unavailable for drop-ins between 7am and 6pm. I am comfortable working in other peoples' homes. I love to spend time with animals in their natural environment, and find myself tidying when I'm there. I will often leave your home cleaner than I found it! It's in my nature to take care of the spaces I inhabit, and I do so with absolute respect. I take great care to protect the privacy of my clients while I nurture their pets and living space.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 9 years old. I grew up with dogs, rabbits, a bearded dragon, a tortoise and hamsters. I have the most experience with dogs. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed and bathe their dogs. I currently work part-time, my job schedule is very flexible. I am busy early mornings and evenings. However, I have time in the afternoon for walks and drop-ins. I live in an apartment building that is pet friendly with a gated park, safe sidewalks and a trail for walking. I believe that leashing is very important and necessary when going out. Transparency and clear communication is key to your dog(s) safety and well being, so I will provide prior planning. and updates always.

About: I may not have experience in pet care but from my own experience with my pup. I will love your pets as if they were my own, i love all animals and if I could I would take in every stray dog or cat or any animal into my home. Anyone who knows me will say the same, I hope that even with my little experience you will still consider me. My love for animals is a lot that it might even be an obsession but I can’t help it, i am not afraid to say this but sometimes I prefer animals than people haha. It is honestly such a gift to have such loyal creatures in our lives, it’s another kind of happiness. Thank you

About: I’ve grown up with pets since I was a child—tiny dogs, large dogs, cats…even chickens! Extensive experience with walking, bathing, feeding, and providing animal care and companionship. I am also the ultimate pet hype man—I’m always ready to let your pet know that they are the goodest boy (or girl)!! I currently work full-time, but would be available for walks/check-ins during my lunch break (flexible timing), in the evenings (4:30 or later), and any time on the weekends/holidays! I can feed/medicate animals, and crate them if necessary. I will also ensure adequate water/food availability, and no hazards present in the home before leaving.

Brianna did a great job of taking care of our two dogs and one cat. We are new to our home and did not want to leave them alone for a full day and evening. We were very reassured to leave them in such capable hands. Everyone was just as calm and relaxed when we returned as if we had been there with them all day!

Terry is the absolute best dog sitter! She is wonderful with our dog and very professional! We’ve had Terry as our dog sitter for several years when we go on vacations or weekend get aways. As our dog has gotten older, we don’t worry at all that she will be taken care of while in Terry’s care. I highly recommend Terry for pets young and old. Thank you Terry!

Carolina was great! She stopped in morning and night to feed, give water, and play with our Australian shepherd for a few nights. Luna had so much fun with her and was still a happy girl when we got home. She sent lots of pictures and videos and asked clarifying questions to make sure everything was as it should be! I would book her again for her awesome help
