About: Hello! I’m Paul, a retired professional with over 40 years of experience in caring for pets of all kinds—from champion lines to rescue breeds. My lifelong passion for animals has led me to start a pet sitting and walking service. I believe every pet deserves love and care, and I am committed to providing the best experience for your furry family members. Let me help keep your pets happy and healthy while you’re away. Pet care is a delightful part of my daily and weekly routine. Mornings start with energizing walks, afternoons are spent providing attentive care, and evenings are reserved for relaxation and enjoying quality time with family. Committed to providing a safe and secure environment for your pets during walks. Ensuring their safety with careful supervision, proper leash handling, and adherence to all safety protocols.

About: My name is Gavin, i’m a 19 year old from East Haddam who’s been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. Ever since I can remember I’ve had animals in my house, even having 6 dogs at once at one point. I know how to walk, entertain, bathe, brush, clean up after and do every other type of care regarding pets! I’m currently very flexible when it comes to my schedule, I am able to work everyday of the week and always respond as soon as possible. I’m unable to see over your animals in my home right now as my home is already chalk full of my own animals, however in your home I can watch your animals each and every way a client would like me to. Every person is different and I’m willing to accommodate anyway they’d like to have to best experience.

“Ly-Linh is a kind, compassionate pet sister. She asked all the right questions during our first meet, having to care for my senior sheltie. My pups were comfortable right away with her patient, calm demeanor.”

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: I have taken care of a huge variety of animals in my career and I am very good with animals. For a very long time my friends have relied on me to provide the best care for their beloved pets. I am currently working part time and would like to make the pet care service my full time career! I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet and I will do my best to provide the best care possible! Working with large animals my whole career I am extremely diligent about safety for all animals. I will put your pet's safety as a first priority.

“Veronica did a great job taking care of our cat Cheese! We came back to a healthy happy kitty and knowing we had someone we could trust gave us great peace of mind while we were away.”

About: I have owned dogs throughout my whole life. At one point Our pack totaled 6. I’ve owned 2 horses, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and a cat. I worked as an apprentice vet tech until the veterinarian died unexpectedly of a heart attack. I have recently pursued more education regarding grooming. I have groomed my own dogs and friends dogs over the years. I am conscientious and will never allow a dog to be in pain seeking medical care immediately. I would like it to be part time to start with the option of going full time further down the road. I am working on grooming lessons, and my current part time job. I believe in being observant of their behaviors and to respond accordingly. Our dogs receive much love and play time. They are allowed to be with us and on our furniture. I realize that many owners frown upon that and I will honor their wishes when caring for their pet

“Very responsible, reliable and communicative. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was seven years old, and have a true passion for spending time with animals. Getting the chance to meet and care for someones pet is important to me because I would want to make sure my doggo was in safe hands if I was away. i'm currently working part-time and from home (im an artist) so my schedule is pretty flexible and I have time in the morning afternoon and evenings on most days! Safety is the upmost important thing to me when caring for animals and ensuring that their needs are met, they earned an environment that is safe, fun, and nurturing for them. It's important that animals stick to their regular routine and schedule and I'm excited to help your pet!

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was born with my first Golden Retriever “Missy”. My family has had a wide variety of animals from dogs and cats, to hamsters and bunnies, all the way to horses. I am often called on by my fiends to pet sit as I am known as the friend with a surplus of pets. I currently have a small dog named Munchie with many different health problems such as anxiety and epilepsy which gives me experience in caring for dogs with specific needs. I also currently have a large dog who is a Shepard, Boxer mix named Leo who gives me experience in caring for large dogs and their active and rambunctious needs. Along with my two dogs I have four cats who give me experience in the joy of caring for cats. As a pet owner I know the struggle of finding a good and trustworthy pet sitter. That is why I want to be able to be that pet sitter that will allow you to enjoy your vacation or go to work with the peace of mind knowing your pet is being taken care of. I am currently a student at Marist College in Poughkeepsie. Due to my class schedule I have blocks of time in which I am not in class or doing homework that I would love to be able to fill with hanging out with dogs:) Due to the fact that I am a college student I do not have the home environment to be able to care for your dog at my house. But I will give them the love and attention they need during my drop-in visits with lots of pets, playtime, walks and treats!

“Christine was nothing but incredible. Communicative, thorough and accurate, which gave both my husband and I a huge piece of mind. It was our first time away from our cat for an extended period of time, and she eased our worries immediately. We will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a good pet sitter!! ☺️”

About: My love affair with animals started at 8 years old. Fast forward 30 years and my passion for animals has only grown. I have 3 fur babies of my own and plan on adding more some day :-) I’m a stay at home mom with loads of flexibility to take care of your fur babies. I’m available almost every day of the week and often all day. I have a fenced in home where pups can roam freely. Pups are a part of our family so their happiness and safety are always important to us.

“Vincent is the best! He is so thorough and knowledgeable about dogs. He took our dog out every day for a good walk and even cleaned up some messes the dog had made around the house. He is incredibly trustworthy and kind. I would highly recommend him to anyone.”
