Pet Sitting in Killingworth

“Kacie took great care of our kitty while we were away on vacation. She was considerate of our home, attentive to our correspondence, and loving towards our pet. I look forward to having Kacie pet sit again soon.”

“Katherine did such a great job! My dog gets very shy and nervous around new sitters and she was able to get him warmed up very quickly! She is also very flexible and was able to work around my changing schedule :)”

“Paris' drop-in visit is just what our Sadie needed during the evening while we were out. Paris let me know when she arrived, how Sadie was during her visit, sent pictures and let me know when she left. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for someone to take care of their fur baby/babies. Thank you Paris!”

About: I am a trained pastry chef, and have worked in the industry for over 15 years. As much as I love working with food, animals are my heart. With my business degree, I have decided to start my own dog walking business and I absolutely love it! I have been doing it full time since August '23. Experience: I have three labs of my own from 4 to 12 years old, and two indoor cats. I'm very active and love walking my dogs, taking them for hikes, cooking for them, and all around making sure they're happy. I currently have several client's pups that I walk multiple times per week, sporatically, or while they're on vacation. Please send me a message with details about your needs so we can chat more! I have several years of experience of volunteer dog walking from the SPCA. I earned a Pet First Aid and CPR certification through the RECOVER Initiative (Reassessment Campaign on Veterinary Resuscitation), created by Cornell University of Veterinary Medicine. I am a dog walker full time, though I limit the amount of clients I take on so that I can be flexible and available for the ones I have. Currently, I am looking for a few additional long term relationships with pups and their parents who need routine pet care M, T, W, Th and/ or Friday, at least 1 day per week. I service within a ten mile radius of Westbrook, including Old Saybrook, Essex, Clinton, Killingworth, Old Lyme. I tend to take care of pets from 8 am to 5 pm, but am available later or earlier at times, and on weekends on occasion for my regular clients if need be. I am very flexible when it comes to overnights and extended stays for regular clients, and am usually available with plenty of notice. Ask me about me about my *special* routine client rates! Can't wait to hear from you! Every pup and kitty has their own, individual personality/ways of communicating and I am here to take the time to understand them from your perspective, while over time learning from them as well. I value consistency and trust building with animals, and am looking forward to gaining a friendship with a member of your family. When it comes to walks, I am most comfortable using a harness if they tend to be pullers, and if they are, will work with them using gentle, verbal and reward oriented methods I've found effective on my own dogs.

“Holly M. is amazing! She is the best pet sitter I have ever hired. It is very clear how much she loves animals and how much mine love her. My dog is initially apprehensive around new people, and Holly knew exactly how to handle it. She is so friendly and easy to work with, and she is reliable, trustworthy and she goes way above and beyond. Lulu can't wait to see her again! I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Candice did a great job during her daily visits with Iggy. I’m sure he was excited to see her and her adorable daughter, each day, for a snack and walk. Definitely recommend her and I look forward to using her services again!”

“Vincent was a very attentive sitter and took great care of our cats. One of our cats got sick while we were away. He was in close contact with us regarding his condition and also reached out to our vet to get their advice. I can highly recommend him as someone who can be trusted to look after your pets as he would his own. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him as a sitter again.”

About: My name is Kim and I have always been a HUGE animal lover! I started caring for animals in my neighborhood as a teen and young adult. I have volunteered at animal shelters and have taken care of friends and relatives pets for years. I have so much love to give your dog (or cat or lizard or bunny or...) Walks, playtime, treats and tons of affection are some of the things I can offer your furry loved one :) Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks for checking out my profile and I look forward to taking care of your family member! Kim :) **I work in the school system so summer time and vacations I am around a lot more during the day!!!** I work in the school system so I leave early in the morning and am back by 3pm. Weekends and summers are free so I have plenty of time to be with your dog! I only go to client's homes at this point since I am now renting. I am trustworthy and have plenty of references if you need!

“Kenzie is fabulous. Her love and ease with animals was evident at our first meet. Kenzie is flexible and dependable. She went above and beyond to check in on our cat while we were on vacation who wasn’t feeling well. We felt such a sense of relief knowing our animals were in safe hands while we were away. Highly recommend.”

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my hands-on experience and deep understanding of canine care. I’ve worked in a professional kennel, which gave me valuable insight into dog behavior, health, and daily routines. At home, I care for my own large German Shepherd, so I’m comfortable handling big, high-energy breeds. I’ve also regularly watched my sister’s dog and other dogs, both short-term and for extended stays, so I know how to create a safe, comfortable environment that feels like home. My combination of professional and personal experience means your dog will be treated like family—with structure, love, and attention tailored to their needs. After working with animals and having my own dog I wanted to incorporate that into my life, so I have plenty of time to hang out and take care of your puppies. I am available throughout the day and would love to spend time with your loved ones! I have a very friendly German shepherd at home, who you are more than welcome to meet, and I walk him multiple times throughout the day and your dog will be able to join us. I also have a crate if you want your dog to be in the crate I also have the ability to do that.

About: I started my own dog-sitting business at 18, putting myself through college while caring for pets of all breeds, ages, and needs. For years, I built lasting relationships with clients who trusted me to care for their furry family members. Now, as a registered nurse, I’m excited to return to the pet care world, bringing the same dedication, responsibility, and love to every dog and cat I meet. As a registered nurse with a flexible schedule, I have several days off during the week and am available for morning, afternoon, or evening walks to fit your pet’s needs! I primarily offer dog walking, but depending on location and availability, I’m also open to house sitting! While I don’t currently provide care in my own home, I’m happy to ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for in theirs.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, I offer reliable, loving, and professional pet care. From growing up with dogs to my current role as a trusted sitter for my neighbor’s puppy, caring for pets has always been a part of my life. I also worked 4 years as a Pet Care Technician at Paws Pet Resort, where I provided top-notch care, monitored health and wellbeing, ensured a clean, safe environment, and made every pet feel loved through playtime, enrichment, and even bedtime stories. Your dog will be in caring, experienced hands with me! As someone who works fully remote with a flexible schedule, I have the time and availability to give your dog the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just company while I work, I’m able to adjust my day to fit your pup’s needs. Dog sitting is the perfect way for me to combine my love for animals with my work-from-home lifestyle. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, along with timely meals, potty breaks, and any special care they need. I prioritize a calm, safe environment and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your furry family member is doing. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities.

Just ask! Starting June 13th, I will be available weekdays and weekends for drop-in walks and hosting other pups in my fenced-in yard for doggy day care. I have a fenced in yard and two 3 year-old pups who love playtime with other pups. I am able-bodied and happy to go on as long of a walk as your pup requires.

I have two dogs and two cats of my own! I work part time a few days a week at a dog kennel but have availability all throughout the week and on weekends for visits and walks! I am able to walk on leashes or play with dogs in a back yard! I am comfortable in all settings whether it is an electric fence or fenced in back yard.
