4. Jill D.
“We are so grateful to have found Jill and her family to watch our Charlotte! What a lovely and comforting experience. We met Jill a month before Charlotte stayed with the family, and she was gracious and kind. Gave us a tour of her home and some time for Charlotte to meet her and their family dog Tucker ( a super sweetie). Jill was super flexible about pickup/dropoff, and responds quickly. We very much appreciated all of the pictures she sent to us of Charlotte during her stay (it looks like she rotated between everyone's laps - her favorite thing!). When I picked Charlotte up, she was calm and happy. She got along fine with Tucker which makes us happy for him too, and Jill's daughter's were super sweet with her. It's a comfort to know that Charlotte is being loved when she stays will Jill just as she is when home with us, and now we can go away with peace of mind. Definitely recommend Jill and her lovely family to care for your furry children.”

I would not hesitate to use her services again and recommend her to others.”

11. Leticia E.
“We left our dog with Leticia during our 2 week trip away and I think he had a better vacation than we did! Every day we received pictures and/or videos of him running through fields or swimming in a pond, we were fully able to relax because we knew that he was in good hands. Our dog is very high energy and also pretty anxious, but he seemed to settle in almost immediately and live his true working dog life on Leticia’s homestead. We knew we had this extended trip coming up, so we worked with Leticia to come up with a plan to ensure our pup felt comfortable with her ahead of it, we did several individual days and a few overnights to get him familiar with her home and family. She was very diligent about making sure she had all his emergency contact information, all the info about his daily schedule, and all the things that would make him feel more comfortable like his food bowls from home, some toys, and a worn sweater from me. She was amazing and I feel fully confident leaving my pup with her in the future, I cannot recommend her more!”
12. Felicia L.
“Felicia was great! She welcomed our pound puppy into her home with open arms! She kept us updated throughout the visit with pictures. Our dog came home happy and tired.”
13. Natasha Q.
“Natasha was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with before and during my dogs stay and sent lots of photos throughout the weekend. We will absolutely use her again, thank you Natasha!”
14. Brianna L.
“She loves dogs and is so loving and caring. Her attention to detail is always her top priority, making sure she cares for your pets exactly as the owner would. Great communication and prompt! 10/10 would recommend”
15. Lynsey M.
“This is the second time Addie has stayed with Lynsey for the weekend and we are so happy to have found her. She is wonderful and I feel 100% confident knowing Addie is being well taken care of.”
16. Shannon R.
“Our two dogs stayed with Shannon for the week we were on vacation. She took great care of them. They were safe, happy, and cozy, and were so pooped out when they got home! She updated us daily and getting the pictures was such a comfort! Definitely recommend Shannon for a sitter and will use her again!”

19. Katie N.
About: I have taken care of my mom’s clients pets. I am always there to be a helping hand when they need it. I have taken care of multiple dogs when their owner is on a work trip or on vacation. I have walked, fed, and played with big and small dogs. *I CANNOT DO SERVICE FOR PEOPLE THAT LIVE AN HOUR AWAY. I LIVE IN NEW MILFORD, CT.* I am an online college student that is experienced with dog sitting/walking. I can do morning and middays during the week. I can also do weekends. I will provide food and especially water at all times. I will make sure nothing toxic or tiny for them to eat is near. I will be near the dog at all times. I will walk and play with them frequently.
20. Katelyn M.
“Katelyn was everything I ever dreamed of in a dog sitter. She was responsive to my many pre-boarding emails, made my dog very comfortable and welcome in her home, flexible with the pickup time when I ran into a problem getting home at the agreed upon time. My dog didn’t want to leave! Katelyn took some portrait-worthy pictures of my dog and even printed two of them out for me to take home, where they are now displayed on my refrigerator door. I will definitely use Katelyn again.”
