Dog Sitting in Harwinton

“Nicola was the best! So friendly. And accommodating. Harley loved her and she was genuinely loving to Harley . I could really tell she loves animals. Communicating with her was so easy. If she’s available I will use her every time. I’m sure all of the people you have are great, but I don’t need to look any further . Thank you so much.”

“We are new to Rover and were a little apprehensive to get things started, Olivia changed all that. She is kind, patient and has an obvious affection for pets. Our 6month old puppy, Sasha, took to her immediately. Olivia is also accommodating and extremely easy to work with, something we very much appreciate. We will definitely be scheduling future visits with Olivia and would highly recommend her to take care of your pets.”

About: I'm available to provide the best care for all your furry (or fur-less), scaly, and or feathered friends. I understand that each pet has unique needs, from daily walks and belly rubs for dogs to creating the perfect habitat for reptiles and keeping your cat’s world enriched with toys and cuddles. I offer compassionate care tailored to your pet’s specific personality and requirements, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. No matter the species, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, with lots of attention, patience, and of course, treats! I'm currently working and going to school part-time, but feel free to reach out and I'll see what I can do to help you out! I always prefer to provide care in your home, and will treat your home, property and of course your pets with the upmost respect. In addition to caring for your pets, I am happy to bring in the mail or delivered packages, and provide other random services at your request as needed. I may be able to provide boarding care in my home with notice on a case by case basis provided your pet is house-trained and gets along well with my personal pets.

About: Other than owning dogs my whole life, my pet care experience has expanded through working with Educating Canines Assisting with Disabilities (ECAD) and through personal connections to house sit and take care of a variety of animals! My experience at ECAD included basic to extensive training puppies to 2 year old dogs, potty training, bathing dogs, understanding the importance of mental stimulation in dogs, playtime, dog walking (and training on how to walk / heel), understanding behavior (signs of enjoyment / fear / stress / separation anxiety, feeling threatened) with how to accommodate them, and cuddles of course! I also take care of senior dogs who require extra care and love and understand the importance of one-on-one care. I also have experience taking care of high energy dogs, dogs with medications, high maintenance dogs, multiple dogs, and different animals as well. I have taken care of a mixture of dogs, cats, lizards, etc simultaneously! I am always called to house sit for friends and family, whether it be for a drop-in visit, a walk, an overnight stay (one night, a weekend, or a whole week). I even was asked to watch a french bulldog while someone was using the bathroom at an airport! I have been told that I ensure trust in the owners and always give them a sense of relief during my stay and that they never have to think twice about their pets being taken care of and their home. I provide numerous check-ins during each day of my stay, plenty of pictures, and I am adaptable to changes in care / schedules when need be! I will treat your pet as one of my own! I understand the stress of a busy schedule and making sure your pet(s) are cared for is extremely important. Pet care fits into my daily / weekly routine due to the personal experience of owing multiple dogs at once and through my professional experience at ECAD. I understand the significance of making sure your pet is happy and well taken care of! I hope to achieve that with you! I care for pets in a clients home just the same as I would for my own pets. I accommodate to the dogs schedule and keep my care as familiar as I can to my clients. I am willing to make sure I keep my client and their pet satisfied and feel at ease. I will update my client numerous times a day, send plenty of pictures, and incorporate any accommodations / needs as necessary. I am extremely flexible and want to keep my client and their pet comfortable. Please let me know any accommodations or needs you have!

“Both of my cats liked Jessica. And my cats hide most of the time. Appreciate checking food , water and taking care of the litter box.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life from Rottweilers to mastiffs. I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years, and am comfortable with all breeds, ages, and sizes. I have done basic training with my own puppies, and even adult dogs. I can offer a calm and confident presence, I have flexible availability, and am a great communicator. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with you! I currently work 3 days a week, with flexible in office days. My work is done from home most of the time and I am available most days. I can offer a calm and loving environment. I enjoy walking and playing with my dogs, and can give a clean and safe space for them. I follow directions, and am respectful should I enter someone else’s home. I can follow routine, but also am flexible where it is needed. I can happily take on each pets individual needs.

About: Throughout my years in high school I was a caretaker of 3 dogs and 2 cats after school everyday of the week. I grew to care and love these pets like they were my own. I had so much fun taking them outside for their daily walks and playing catch around the yard, it was the best job I have ever had because it was loads of fun! Unfortunately, I had to retire my pet sitting job when I went to college back in 2012. Now I work from home and would love to start pet sitting again. I live in a house with a big backyard so it is the perfect place to play catch with them and I live in a residential area that loops around perfect to go for a nice walk too! I am available to start immediately and I am available every day of the week. Looking forward to hearing from you! I work from home so I am able to be home to watch, take them out and play with them most of the day. I work from 3-9pm but have several breaks in between. My yard is partially fenced in but I take safety very seriously when it comes to my own dog, so I will be just as safe with yours as well!

About: I've taken care of variety of dogs and cats. When living in California I took care of two senior Dachshund with a series of medications and injections. I am also great with younger animals, I love to play with them and work out their energy. I’m currently working full time as a health care worker Monday through Thursday 7:30am-4:30pm and 7:30-12:00pm on Friday. I am available for walks, feeds, pop ins outside of those hours. My time is more flexible on weekends! Ask me about a day and I will do whatever I can to make it work! I will make sure all the pets needs are met. Water bowl refills, plenty of play time, feedings if needed. Overall safety for your pet is my first priority! I have had digs of my own with tons of energy. I currently have a senior cat and a kitten (two ends of the energy spectrum) I will treat every animal like my own.

“Courtney was great! She sent me pictures every visit, checked in and out when she dropped in, took care of my plants, and when she dropped off my key, my cats ran to greet her, obviously having enjoyed the play time with her. I will definitely book Courtney again.”

“RaeLynn has been such a blessing. Tribe has major anxiety due to trauma he suffered as a puppy, As a result he requires a lot of patience and honestly he just needed someone to see the sweet and loving boy that he truly is. I was really nervous to try rover, but reading RaeLynns profile I felt confident that my baby would be in good hands given her experience and training. And I was absolutely right. We ran into a few bumps along the way but through each step Tribe was treated with patient understanding, love and kindness. I am so grateful and will 100% be contacting RaeLynn for our future sitter needs. Thank you so much”

About: Hello! My name is Kaleigh. I’m twenty one years old, and I absolutely adore every fur baby around. It doesn’t matter what animal it is, I love all. I have always been surrounded by guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, birds even. I owned a lot of chickens growing up, only for eggs, and i’ve had so many pups to spend my time with. I have a chihuahua who is a certified service animal, as I am diagnosed with epilepsy. I am medicated for that and all seems well. My boyfriend lives with me and typically comes if I take care of pets, but I can make arrangements if needed, just isn’t preferred because it’s a lot easier for the ride factor. I love to write poetry, make music, I draw frequently, and I went to a technical school for culinary as well. Thank you for reading about me. I currently do not have a full time job. I have worked prior at a camp that helped disabled people and nourishes them in the ways they deserve. I’m a stay at home and I help my mom & dad with my dogs and cats, but i’m free any day of the week, as long as it’s known a day ahead, but I would also take emergencies. I have a fenced in yard, but it’s big enough to where my dogs are able to explore around the yard and look through, so they’re still living their best lives. My chihuahua loves to sit on our porch, it’s the first place she runs to in the morning to lay in the sun. She also loves going on rides and exploring the world, going on adventures.

“Katie took such good care of my kitties! She stopped in prior to our scheduled pet sitting to meet my cats, which was much appreciated. She did everything I asked, and made an effort to give my kitties some playtime, even though they were being shy. She provided lots of pics and feedback after each visit, which I love to see, as I worry about my girls when I can’t be home with them. We will definitely be using her services again! ?”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and currently have two dogs and three cats of my own. I started pet sitting and house sitting at just 13 for neighbors and family friends, and over time I built a small network through word of mouth. Over time I have taken care of many pets with many different needs and personalities. Whether it’s a cozy cuddle session or an energetic walk, I treat every pet like they’re my own. While I work full time during the week, I'm available after 4 PM Monday–Wednesday and after 5 PM on Fridays. My weekends are wide open so you can have worry-free coverage while you're away! When caring for pets I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being above all else. I follow any specific instructions you provide, from feeding schedules to medication administration, and keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior to ensure they feel happy and secure. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and mental stimulation. Communication is key, so I keep you updated regularly with messages and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s trust and safety are my top priorities.

About: I enjoy the outdoors and taking a walk. Your dog will have lots of play time, as well as fun, treats, food and water. I just like having a dog around to keep each other company so they are not home alone for long time period, you know getting into mischief we can do that together and have more fun haha. I currently do not have any dogs but will get one when the time is right. I have enjoyed and attended dog shows showing for obedience and agility(Dalmatians). I also attended and passed the canine good citizenship test with my first dog. My second dog was adopted and we did agility and was a lot of fun. A dog is a companion in which you meet other dog friendly people. I'm currently working full time but would have time to care for your fur kid/s before and after work, get mail, water plants, check house. I do not have a fenced yard so would take your fur kids out on a leash at your home or if fenced and you chose for them to be loose at your home.
