About: I’ve had dogs almost my entire life, since I was 6 years old. I’ve had up to 5 dogs at once, ranging from small to large breeds. I’m comfortable with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Whether your pup is shy, playful, or needs a little extra patience, I’ve got the experience to make them feel safe and loved. I treat every dog like family. Im available every morning and early afternoon until 3 PM. This gives me plenty of time for drop-ins, walks, and playtime. I have a pretty consistent schedule, and I am always clear and reliable with communication. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s routine and respect your space, keeping things clean, organized, and exactly how your pet is used to. At my home, pets get lots of attention, a cozy space to relax, and plenty of playtime. I make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and treated like part of the family no matter where they are

“I ABSOLUTELY love Christine! She came and took care of our cat Tuffy while she was sitting for our dog Enzo. You can see she loves animals, she keeps in contact so you never have to worry. Love her!”

“Josh has been amazing with our pups! We had an emergency and needed someone asap. Josh responded and accepted our request within minutes, for a next morning request. He took the time to learn each dog’s needs and is always very communicative during the visits. Our dogs are HUGEEEE, so it’s not easy to just trust anyone with them. I’d definitely recommend Josh to anyone and everyone. He’s our go to sitter!”

About: I started out pet and house sitting for friends and family in high school, and have done so on and off since. A few years ago I started using pet sitting to travel. That has been great! I can administer easy meds. I’ve trained all my dogs. I have a lot of patience and care animals of all kinds and personalities. Availability: I’m currently working remotely so my availability is pretty flexible, but also based around family, travel, etc. Please let me know what specific needs you and your pets have. I’m confident I can accommodate for most arrangements. For house sits I can come earlier, but for walks and drop in’s I’m available from 9 (maybe 8)am to 9pm Safety basics: Keeping food I myself would be tempted by, is always a good start! I can do dog cpr. I am comfortable giving most meds to most animals. My animals safety is of the utmost importance to me, and your pets will be the same. I will follow your rules, and go above and beyond to ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness- in and outside (where applicable) of the home.

“Marisa went above and beyond during her check-ins with our strong-minded Stella. She came the day before the first check-in to meet Stella and made a big effort to get to know her and connect with her. Stella now counts Marisa as one of her best people. We very much appreciated the pictures, videos and reports. It gave us peace of mind to enjoy our time away knowing Stella was happy and taken care of. We highly recommend Marisa and look forward to the next time.”

About: My husband and I recently returned from Costa Rica where we volunteered on a dog farm assisting with bathing, grooming and giving lots of love to almost 2,000 rescued dogs that live there. My husband also has a separate rover account under Maxi S. During my high school/college years my mother trained 5 different dogs for guiding eyes for the blind which I helped in the training process as well while home. I also started housesitting and caring for pets of local neighbors at the young age of 10. We have always had dogs in my home. I couldn’t imagine living without a dog. I have experience with dogs of all ages, puppies to senior dogs. I myself have a 9 year old cocker spaniel who thinks she is a human. I understand all pet owners and their pets have different needs and will respect any rules required to give your pet the care they need. I will treat your dog like my own. My family just returned from Costa Rica. My husband and I are both looking for flexible part time work which allow us to still care for our 1.5 year old son. You can also find my husbands separate rover account under maxi S. At the moment our schedule is open and flexible but as we find work our schedules will be changing depending. We have a good sized yard which is not fenced in but in a quiet neighborhood with a cul-de-sac. I don’t usually crate my dog, but if your dogs are crated I am familiar with crate training. I am a flexible person and am able to modify based on your pets needs.

About: Ever since college, I’ve enjoyed pet sitting small lap dog size to giant Great Danes. I first started to find a running buddy and then it turned into a fun job for me. It even helped me buy my wife her engagement ring! I own an aussiedoodle who is always active and have learned quite a bit through dog ownership. I’ve helped several folks nearby and in various cities and can provide references. I work as an at home teacher so my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to provide drop ins, dog walking, and house sit so your pets can feel safe in their space. I’m very good at following directions and leaving spaces the same if not better than I find them. I plan to communicate as often as requested and am willing to help with clean up.

“Kate was a great sitter and very well qualified, appreciated our Sammy, went above and beyond”

About: I have worked at a doggie daycare for 4 years and dog sat for many years. I have two dogs of my own! I love all sizes/breeds! I have an open schedule so I have time to be able to spend some time with furry friends! I’ve always loved spending time with dogs and love them all as my own. Comfort, stress free, and loving environments is all I strive for! I am very knowledgeable on dog behavior and can pick up on social cues extremely well.

“Michelle was fantastic. We had a frantic schedule and Michelle helped us out in a pinch. My husband and I highly recommend her!! Our dogs love her as well.”

About: My name is Ashleigh! I’ve always had a love for animals of all different sizes and breeds and species. Dogs are my favorite. They genuinely make me feel better and I love seeing them happy and enjoy seeing them have fun. I’ve had experience with dogs since birth, honestly. My dad had a chow mix named Bear and I loved him so much. My family has always had a dog. I moved to Connecticut in 2011 and I moved in with my uncle who owned a German shepherd and I quickly fell in love with her. I took her for walks, fed her, took her to parks, etc. She quickly fell in love with all of the attention I gave her. My uncle now has 2 German shepherds that I go over and bathe and help take care of when he goes out. I have experience giving out medications to dogs as well. As my uncles first German shepherd needs medications for her hips daily. I would love to get to know your pup more! And help in any way I can! Thanks for reading 💜 I currently work full-time Monday-Friday. I’m available to care for your pet after work on the weekdays or fridays after 1 and Saturday and Sunday or on any major holiday! I have a fenced yard but it doesn’t enclose the whole yard. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is wonderful for walks. And my puppy would love to play with yours!

“Great job! Highly professional and thorough.”

About: Hello! I’ve always been around animals my whole life and have 2 dogs of my own currently. Georgia is a 11 year old boxer-pit mix and Nero is a 9 year old husky/ Doberman/ lab mix. I have experience with pet injuries, health complications, and administering medications such as insulin injections. I work in the Old Saybrook school district and have time off, when I’m available to help with drop ins, dog walking, feeding, and medications. I can also collect mail and help with odds and ends when owners are away! I wouldn’t be able to bring animals into my home, due to one of my dogs having aggression towards other animals. However, I am available to stay in your home overnights.

About: I've cared for animals my whole life. My own dog is an Australian Cattle Dog, so I know how to care for an energetic dog with strong opinions! I'm not intimidated by large animals. Right now my schedule has lots of flexibility as I prepare to attend college this fall, so I have time for whatever care your pet needs! I will implement whatever instructions you give me for pet care in your own home, whether it is crating, play time outside, walking, etc. No problem!

About: I have been caring for animals for over 25+ years. I have extensive experience with dogs, equines and goats. I currently own 2 mules, 6 goats and 3 dogs. I have excellent references, dog/cat CPR certified and insured. I currently have daily and weekly pet clients, but have availability to help more pets (all species) and owners. Please contact me to discuss your needs. I offer a wide array of visits depending on the pet and situation. Check-ins, feeding, medications, walking, cleaning, horse handing for vet or farrier. I also offer to bring your dogs or cats to the vet if you are unable to.
