House Sitting Guilford

“Courtney was amazing when we were in a bind! Our petsitting plans fell through last minute, it was the weekend after Halloween, and we have three rescue animals with their own quirks. Courtney replied right away and immediately jumped into action, even preparing to stay overnight at our place on short notice. She was super creative in getting our elderly dog to take his meds (we found out that he can be stubborn with new people!) and even noticed that our younger dog had different exercise needs, so she walked them separately. She also took great care of our cat and left our home spotless. Courtney kept us updated the whole time and went above and beyond for all three of our pets. We’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter!”

About: In addition to my extensive experience with cats and dogs, I also have experience with rabbits, ferrets, and other pets. Not I’m I experienced with these animals, I also have intense curiosity about them, and I enjoy learning more and educating myself about their care. As a teacher, I have evenings and weekends available to care for your furry family members. I will soon have my summer off and I will have unlimited time to care for your pets! I am very careful to follow all instructions and safety recommendations. My first priority is to keep your pet healthy, as well as engaged and secure. I enjoy spending they deserve, loving, responsible, affectionate care.

“Alea was incredible while she watched our dog Piper for 4 1/2 days. She took great care of Piper, checked in with us the perfect amount, and left our house cleaner than she found it. Alea is friendly, punctual, and an overall pleasure to deal with. We would welcome her back to our home anytime.”

“Emily did a great job taking care of my kitties while I was away for work. One of my cats is a challenging girl with some special medical needs and I felt safe with leaving her in Emily’s hands.”

About: I'm who you call when your dog needs to run around and tire themselves out, or when your cat needs to curl up with someone in the sunlight! I grew up taking care of my lovely cockadoo Otis, as well as going on runs with my step-family's energetic black lab and golden retriever. In the years since, I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I love learning every pet's specific needs, schedule, and energy levels. Excited to meet you and your furry friend exactly where you need! I'm currently working remotely as a writer, so I'll have plenty of time for your pup or your kitty. My schedule is usually quite flexible, and unless I'm out of town, I can make last minute calls work! My own dog was a rescue from the streets of New York City, and we worked very hard to slowly build trust with him, to the point he became the most affectionate dog I've seen! So even if your animal is skittish, I will happily mind their boundaries while showing them all the love I can. I also prioritize an animal's safety above all else, and am extremely attentive to what mischief your pet might be getting up to.

About: With a genuine love for animals and years of experience, I provide attentive and compassionate care for your furry friends. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I ensure your pets are happy and well-cared for while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pets! Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine. I schedule specific times for walks, feeding, and play, ensuring each pet gets the attention they need. This consistent routine allows me to provide high-quality care while balancing other responsibilities. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets. In my home, I maintain a secure, clean space with pet-friendly amenities. When in clients’ homes, I follow their routines and safety guidelines, ensuring pets feel at ease and cared for in familiar surroundings.

“Bella has been the absolute greatest sitter for our dog, Winnie. Our poor girl has anxiety whenever we are not around. This was the first time we left her with a sitter, so we were not sure how she would react. Poor Winnie struggled at first when we left and even had some health issues which required medical attention . Bella sprang into action and got her the care she needed and Winnie quickly got better with her love and support. She also kept us updated on her progress daily and sent us great pictures of her which my family really appreciated since we were all worried and missed her. Once Winnie adjusted, Bella became her “person” and Winnie followed her everywhere. When we got home everything was neat and clean and our mail was brought in for us. We really loved using Bella and she will be our go-to sitter for any future trips. We are very lucky to have found her. If you want someone who cares for your pet just like you would, Bella is the best person for this. Winnie looks forward to future care with her!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have owned dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve also had cats for over 10 years, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give every pet. I understand that each animal is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to provide the care they need. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners peace of mind through reliable, loving care and regular updates. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week for visits, feeding, playtime, walks, and companionship. I make it a priority to stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s a quick check-in or spending extra time giving your pet attention and affection, I’m committed to providing reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, playtime, and any special care needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so I can provide care that feels consistent and reassuring. I also make sure pets always have access to fresh water, receive plenty of attention and affection, and remain secure while I’m in the home. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for both your pet and your home. I treat every home with respect, keep owners updated with messages and photos, and strive to provide dependable care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our dog and extremely communicative throughout all of her visits. We will definitely be using her services again in the future and can’t recommend her enough.”

“Bailey is the best rover we have ever had! She was communicative, reliable, trustworthy, and most importantly great with our dog Jack. She sent updates everyday (including pictures!!). When we got home our house was in perfect order, and she had even left us a little report card on how Jack had eaten, etc every day that we were gone. Jack was happy and clearly well cared for. I would highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a pet sitter. We will absolutely be reaching out to her in the future.”

About: I love animals. I grew up with dogs and as an adult have owned a Black Lab, King Charles Cavalier, and now have a Jack Russel mix! I'm very active and like taking dogs on long walks! I work from home and am very active. I walk my dog to the beach or harbor every day, into town, and for hikes on nearby trails. I'm a very caring and responsible dog owner.. I have a safe home and would be happy to keep your dog with me or pet sit at your house and take him or her on several walks!

About: I’ve worked with various animals for over 10 years, and in that time I have also pet sit for friends. I am comfortable handling a wide range of pets. My rabbit is 10 years young and thriving, and my cat is almost 3 and rambunctious. I am experienced in dog, cat, or other senior care. I have also helped friends with socializing foster puppies. I am confident in giving oral medication as well! I just graduated college with a degree in animal science. I recently picked up a job during weekdays in Trumbull, but I can still walk your dog/watch your pet! Generally, I am free: Sat/Sun - Anytime M-F - Extremely early morning or after 3:30pm I will always provide fresh water when I come in and before I leave. If the pet makes a mess I will immediately dispose of it, however if any part of the mess was assumed to be ingested I will let the owner know as soon as possible. Should the pet use the bathroom in the house I will clean and sanitize the area and dispose of the waste outside. The pet will have my full attention and treated with respect during my time with it.

“Danielle was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my very energetic Golden Retriever and my cat for an entire week, and I came home knowing they had been loved and well cared for. She went above and beyond in every way—from keeping me updated to making sure everything was taken care of around the house. The sweetest surprise was coming home to clean sheets on my bed that she had replaced before she left. It’s those thoughtful little touches that show how much she truly cares. I can’t recommend Danielle enough, and I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“Kimberly has a beautiful energy that the dogs responded well to. I could tell from the photos she sent that they were having a fabulous time playing with her. When I got home they were safe and sound and relaxed...and even a bit tuckered out, which was perfect considering I'd had a long day!”

“THANK YOU Ashley for taking such great care of Ginger for us over spring break. Hope you will dog sit for us again! 5 stars / 10 out of 10 :)”

“Jordan was fantastic. During the Meet & Greet, she asked all the right questions and it was very clear from the start that she is a professional who takes dog- and house-sitting seriously. We had her watched three large dogs for a full day and everything went smoothly. The dogs loved her and she kept us informed of how things were going. My daughter (two the three dogs were hers) also had high praise for Jordan. We will definitely seek out her services when we next need someone to watch Gracie.”
