Sandra was very accommodating in terms of scheduling the drop in visits. She showed up as scheduled and had a good rapport with my kitties. I would book her again.

About: I previously worked at All Pets Club in Southington, CT taking care of all types of animals, but mainly the puppies! My responsibilities included bathing, playing, and medicating the puppies. I’ve also had dogs and cats my whole life! During the week I am studying at Quinnipiac university to become a teacher, but would love to fill my weekends caring for beloved pets whenever needed! I unfortunately don’t have a large enough home to take in any pets, however I have an amazing trail behind my home to take long walks and get fresh air! When in my clients home I will respect all boundaries and make sure I treat the pet and the home with the upmost respect.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. For over 12 years, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family care for their pets — from energetic puppies to older pets who just want company. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy getting to know every animal’s personality. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them comfortable while you’re away, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your cats. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week and on weekends. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits to match your cat’s routine and make sure they stay comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and litter box care, and I always make sure doors and windows are secure. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I’ll respect their space while still giving them attention, playtime, and care. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease

About: I currently volunteer at an animal shelter and love working with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and demeanors! I also have some basic training experience through my dog trainer, who also specializes in service work and behavioral training. My personal dog, Toffee (basset hound!), lived to be 16, and my favorite time with her was the patient walks and TLC needed as she got older--happy to support your senior animals too:) A couple other tidbits: I have experience working with farm animals (chickens, ducks, goats, and alpacas!) and majored in Environmental Science in college. Looking forward to meeting your furry ones! I balance my time with pet care through Rover and at the animal shelter, so I am happy to work with you to find good times (evenings and weekends included, depending on when). I prefer to meet or provide care at your home, but I also live in a very walkable neighborhood and have a dog park nearby. My house has a fenced-in yard and a sprinkler for the hotter days. While I do not currently have a crate in my personal vehicle, I am happy to get one if you are more comfortable. I also have close friends with dogs and cats if play dates are helpful too!

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and easy-going person who truly loves animals. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for I’m currently finishing up my degree at Quinnipiac and have a very open schedule. I can work around a lot of times and make a lot of times work. I always make sure that animals are put in situations where they have the ability to thrive and are never in situations where their safety is in jeopardy.

Archie was an amazing cat sitter for my two babies!! This is my first time using a pet sitter for my cats. I have a senior girl who was just recently diagnosed with IBD and requires a special diet and daily meds, and a rambunctious kitten who will do his darndest to be the cutest troublemaker you’ve ever met. Archie was amazing to work with, has extensive experience working with cats, and made me and my partner feel at ease! If you are looking for someone to watch over your feline friends, Archie is the best! I will definitely use them for future bookings.

Amanda was just great. She was very responsible and respectful and very communicative. She sent us pictures of Buddy and kept us informed of what he was doing. We felt very comfortable about being away knowing that Amanda was there. We found everything spotless when we returned and we really appreciate that! We'll certainly have Amanda back!

About: I’ve walked and taken care of dogs and cats for 9 years throughout medical school and college, however really have 26 years of experience as I grew up always having dogs and cats around. I’ve taken care of as many as 14 puppies at once! As an added bonus, I can also perform pet CPR. Overall, I just love taking care of pets, and have tons of experience both officially and from growing up with pets. I would love to take long walks with your dog and take care of your pets in any way! I’m currently working on 100% from home and have a completely open schedule with flexible hours, as well as many completely free days with no commitments. My apartment complex has many grassy areas as well as a fenced in dog park. There are sidewalks looping through the whole complex for dog walks as well as a large bike trail right down the street. My home is extremely clean with no other pets or children and plenty of room for a pet to wander.

About: I have always loved pets since I was a little kid and I love being able to spend as much time with them as possible. I've spent days with dogs and cats, making sure they are getting everything they need. I have also done overnight stays and spent multiple days at a time with all kinds of pets. I am currently working part time at a summer internship so I can spend plenty of time with your pets during the week. I'd be happy to stop in for a quick visit, take a walk, or spend an afternoon with them. I am happy to come into your home and check on your pet and follow any instructions you may have. I am happy to bring them outside and play with them, as well as make sure they have any food or water they need.

Daniel was super responsible and professional. We needed someone to feed, clean, and show some love to our 2 cats while we were away for a few days. Danielle was more than happy to do so. She was very communicative and even offered to water some plants for us. We also have a dog that we boarded this time but wouldn’t hesitate to leave in Danielle’s care!
