Went above and beyond with my super high energy dog. Went on a 6mile walk to wear her out. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker, very trustworthy.

Sara has been incredible with our dogs. There are three of them, all big, two with substantial anxiety, and none of them is really leash trained. In other words, they're a handful. We have been floored by Sara's insight, skill, patience, and warmth. She has charmed our dogs and left us feeling confident that they are in capable, kind hands. Sara is the first non-family member we have trusted to care for our dogs, and we are so grateful to be working with her.

About: I have cared for dogs since I was young and understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and loved. I make sure pets receive proper care, attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. I currently do not have a job so I will have all day to play with your pups and take care of them. I am available from 9 am to 3 pm Monday to Friday. I do not have a fenced yard but I will keep your fur babies safe and keep an eye on them at all times. I do have 2 other dogs that are friendly so your fur babies can have someone to play with.

Terry is a great sitter, clearly loves what she does and treats your pet as her own. She’s kind and conscientious and was more than happy to help us out in a tight spot. I’d certainly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter/walker. She’s great.

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: Your dog(s) will love coming over to play and exercise while you’re away from home. I will love and care for your fur-babies as if they’re my own. My four year old rescue, Miley, aka “Potato” is extremely social and absolutely loves puppy play dates. We have yet to meet a dog she doesn’t get along with, or any other living creature for that matter! Our Golden Retriever, Dug, perfectly matches his namesake from the Disney movie UP. My husband grew up on a farm and has cared for animals his whole life. We are both animal lovers. I especially love pit bulls and support the national ‘Punish The Deed & Not The Breed’ campaign. I can’t wait to begin caring for and helping with your fur-babies! I am a full time Realtor. I create my schedule around the needs of my pets. Please reach out with any questions you may have. Our home and furniture is pet friendly. Please feel free to reach out via message with any additional questions you may have about your pet's care.

About: I have a strong speciality working with felines and canines. Throughout the years, having pets of my own and pet sitting, I gained hands-on experience providing safe, effective, feeding, bathing, cleaning, and enrichment (including exercise) to varying animals through positive reinforcement. Additionally, taking animal behavior courses as an undergraduate student I learned a strong understanding how to interpret and respond to different species behaviors, such as fear. I then translated this knowledge working with fearful and traumatized canines to build their trust over time and to create positive associations in my personal time. I currently have a part-time job and can ensure to make your schedule fit into mine. I'm always sure to communicate if something may come up during your booking, such as other gigs or obligations outside of work, that way there's total clarity on where and when I'll be in relation to your pet(s). I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them. When I’m caring for pets, whether it’s in my home or yours, my main goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I like to keep their routine as close to normal as possible — same walk times, meals, and plenty of play and cuddle time. In my home, I make sure there’s a comfy spot for naps, space to play, and lots of attention. When I’m at a client’s home, I treat it with respect and care. Every animal is different, so I take the time to get to know what makes each one comfortable and content.

About: I have many different experiences with animal care, including internships at a vet clinic and animal shelters. I also have volunteered at a bird sanctuary and care for my own animals on a daily basis (parrot and rabbit). I help to care for animals daily at my house (parrot and rabbit). I am a grad student at UConn so before/after classes and research each weekday, I’m able to provide care to any animal that needs me! I will follow any and all directions to the best of my ability as well as provide the animals with as much comfort and companionship I can. I’m also able to administer medications if needed, as long as I’m shown or told so beforehand. If I’m in a home, I’ll provide care in a timely manner and will keep interruptions to a minimum during a visit or stay.

I currently work full time in pet care services! I offer around the clock care for pets and their owners! I love what I do and have never been happier!
