Went on vacation for a week and needed someone to feed my cats every night. My cats are pretty unique so the feeding procedure is not the easiest. Followed every detail to the T. Very grateful!

About: I have been a dog lover my entire life! I always had dogs growing up. I lived in Colombia most of my life and moved to the US 3 years ago. I am experiencing with different breeds. Growing up I had poodles, schnauzers, bulldogs, golden retrievers and Aussies. I personally don’t have a dog of my own but do live in my sister’s in-law apartment and she has 4 beautiful Aussies that I love like if they were my own. I care for them when my sister travels or whenever they want to come and hang out with me. Please note that I am still learning English but are able to speak basic commands in English to your dogs. My main language is Spanish. Hablo Español!!! I currently have a full-time job and work Monday-Friday 7:30am-4:00pm in Clinton, CT. I am available any day during the week after 4pm or weekends anytime. I can care for your dog at your home or at my home. I currently live alone in an in-law apartment at my sister’s home. We do have a spacious fenced backyard that I can use to let your dog run around. I am a very honest and trustworthy person that will keep your dog safe.

Madison was so friendly, professional, and reliable. Our standoffish cat warmed up to her right away, which is a better review than anything I could write. We can't wait to book her for a longer stay!

About: Hi, I'm Courtney! Though I don't currently own a dog, my love for caring for animals, both cats and dogs, knows no bounds. I dream of becoming a pet mom to a lovely doggo one day! I work a full time job from Monday to Thursday in Middletown, but I am available on the weekends to provide dedicated care for your furry friends. My home is pet friendly, and since I live alone, I can give your pets the attention they deserve. I live in a gated apartment with a spacious courtyard and plenty of grassy areas for playtime. I currently have a very cuddly and fluffy cat who comfortably stay in another room if needed to ensure a harmonious environment for all pets.

About: I've had dogs my whole life. They're such a big part of me and I absolutely love meeting them. I'll follow any specifacation you may have for your dog. I love taking walks and playing with them. I will also feed additional pets that you may have or clean yards if needed. I am currently in college in the afternoon for an few hours on monday through thursday. I can stay at the owner's house if needed. However, I can also do visits to feed and let out if that is more comfortable for the owner. I often like to go on walk with dogs I am taking care of, they are always on the leash on these walks. I also enjoy going out in the yard to play with them. I am not opposed to crates.

Kelly was fantastic dropping in 3 times a day to pull my geriatric cat and care for my three cats. She is reliable and very capable, engaging my cats in play. She cleaned the cat dishes, the litters and left the area immaculate. I will definitely book her again when we travel.

About: As a devoted animal lover who recently lost my beloved senior boy, I am yearning to fill that void by showering other people’s pets with the same love and devotion. Because I work from home on five acres of land, I am able to offer your dog constant companionship and a peaceful, spacious environment. My hands-on experience spans all life stages—from energetic small puppies to elderly dogs needing gentle, specialized care. Having also adopted and rehabilitated dogs and cats with trauma, I understand the deep patience, calm energy, and compassion required to help every pet feel safe, secure, and right at home. I run my own business from home, and I have very flexible hours. Which allows me to provide constant companionship for your pet. Because I am always around, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, ensuring your dog will never be left alone for long stretches and will receive all the playtime, potty breaks and attention they need throughout the day. Whether caring for your dog in your home or mine, safety and emotional comfort are my top priorities. At my house your dog will enjoy peaceful, leashed walks exploring my 5 acres of land, and I bring that same careful attention to walks in your neighborhood. Because I have experience with delicate elderly dogs, tiny puppies and rescues with trauma, I am highly attentive to safety. I always ensure leashes are completely secure and provide a calm soothing presence so pet feels protected. I do have a cat in my home, however they can be separated if needed. I also have a 22- and 12-year-old daughter and 9-year-old boy who miss their dog and will love on your pet as well.
