House Sitting Guilford Center

“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.”

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.

“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: 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!

“Maverick was happy and well cared for. Mai did an excellent job caretaking for him. Maverick doesn’t warm up to new well and he liked her at first meet.”

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.

“She really took time to get to know my dogs and came back multiple times to try to familiarize herself to them prior to our trip . Her passion and love for dogs is palpable. She gave great updates with pictures and also concerns if they occurred . My dogs loved staying with her!”

“We were very happy with Izabella watching our dogs. Communication was great. She reached out with questions and was very responsive. She also left the house in great shape”

“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!”

“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!”

“Our booking with Bailey this past weekend was both the first time we used Rover and the first time that we had left our dog, Sherlock, at home with anyone who was not family. It has been an overwhelmingly positive experience. From the very first communication, Bailey has approached her stay at our home promptly, courteously, and with utter professionalism. Her ability to immediately and proactively grasp all the parameters we set out was reassuring not to mention impressive. We were able to travel worry-free, knowing that Sherlock was in her very capable hands. During her stay, she was both communicative and responsive. Not to mention what others have noted which is that she asked all the pertinent questions and kept the house immaculately! Sherlock was relaxed and happy when we returned. I cannot recommend her more highly.”

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.

About: I’ve always had a cat & now I care for my small dog! I trained my own animals through the puppy stages & taken care of animals through all stages of life Im working part time & will be able to care for animals with 2 days notice. I prefer to keep animals in their home, rather than board in mine. Although willing to discuss options! I am happy to care for your animal at your home & provide regular check ins, potty breaks, feeding, & medication (if needed). It’s important to keep a routine with animals, & will do everything I can to maintain balance.

About: *I look for pet parents on here but I will not make you pay me on here - message for a reference if needed*! To be honest, when I was a child I had a deadly fear of dogs. That was until my mother forced me to go to exposure therapy (yes she made me go to a club where they sat you with over ten dogs. Here, I fostered a love for them, and learned a lot about them. They need activity and they also need rest. They need a lot of attention but they reciprocate with fierce loyalty and unwavering love. I would love to help a family continue to give their dog the attention it deserves so they can also live their lives! I am a new college graduate looking for a full time remote position. The job market is competitive and I expect to be unemployed for at least a couple months. I have full time availability and will always have weekends. Let me help full time workers right now while I am figuring out life! My anxious dog requires a lot of attention and ensuring comfort. He gets lots of outdoor time and plenty of exercise in the morning, lunch, and night. He is fed twice a day with a mix of dry and wet food. I work on his tricks with him at least once a day! I also have cared for cats throughout my whole life. Fostering kittens, feeding them, cutting and administering pills for my disordered baby! Additionally brushing my animals, playing with them, and knowing when to give them space. I love my animals and have spent my life ensuring their care!!

“Kimberly is terrific! The dogs love her and the pictures she sends are literally 'frame worthy'! Such a treat to see my cuties having such a great time with her!”

“Kait was amazing! She came through in a pinch and was kind and gracious. I know our boys enjoyed her as much as we did!”
