“Katie was quick to respond and very attentive. She was also very flexible. She is a very sweet person and you can tell she really loves animals. She was a terrific cat sitter!”


“Very flexible with my last minute booking. Took wonderful care of my babies, both my older dog and brand new puppy! She was great at updating me and with photos! Definitely recommend!”


“Rachel watched our two dogs for a weekend while we were away. She did drop in visits multiple times a day. Her visits were detailed with pictures and updates. She took them for walks and handled our reactive dog very well. They looked like they had a great time hanging with her and loved the attention she gave. Our dogs are pretty low maintenance (youthful enough). We had no issues, will probably book again sometime, and would recommend to others.”


“Josh is outstanding. I highly recommend him. He communicated well, was efficient in taking care of all the tasks, and my cats were sitting in his lap by the end of his visits with them. he was exactly what I needed to put my mind at ease when leaving my two cats for two weeks!”


“Kathy L, chefs kiss!! she was absolutley AMAZING!! My fur baby Rex and I met Kathy on a Thursday and we both instantly were drawn to her and she was the MOST PERFECT FIT for us and we welcomed her in our lives on Friday, again she was just perfect. While dealing with some prety devestating medical health issues with my sister in Texas and needing to travel immediatley, I was secure with Kathy caring for my fur baby while I was 1600 miles away I never worried about him with her and I was able to completely focus on my sister. Kudos to Rover.com for having someone like Kathy on your team!! If you're in the Manchester CT area make sure you book her you will not be dissappointed!!!”


“Jasmine was punctual, communicative, and went above and beyond for my little lady. She is a cleaning pro and played with my kitty for a while. Can’t wait to book her again!”


“Thanks so much for picking up a last minute visit and being so flexible! Rebecca is very responsive and responsible! 10/10 recommend! Don’t hesitate, hire Rebecca!”


“Karinna was our savior when our long term pet sitter became ill. She set our minds at ease and took time to win over Max and Henry! Loved the updates and pics she sent! Happy to know we have a new sitter to watch our boys when we need a getaway. Karrina is great!”


“Megan watched our two kitties for the week while we were on vacation and we would definitely book with her again in the future! She was very communicative, punctual, and took great care of both our cats and the house while we were away. We did not have much cell service on vacation, but consistently received updates with notes from Megan and photos every day which was great.”


“Allie was absolutely amazing with our Jack!! 5⭐️ without a doubt! She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable and updated us every step of the way during her visit. Would recommend! ❤️”


About: ⸻ What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, intuitive approach to animal care—think “Mary Poppins meets animal whisperer.” I don’t just watch pets; I create a nurturing, structured environment where they feel safe, loved, and engaged. I have experience with a wide range of animals, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with administering medication, managing special diets, and adapting routines to meet each pet’s physical and emotional needs. For puppies, I focus on positive reinforcement, helping with basic training, crate comfort, and establishing good habits early on. For senior pets, I provide thoughtful care—whether that’s supporting mobility, sticking to precise medication schedules, or simply offering quiet companionship. Beyond the basics, I bring a warm energy, attention to detail, and a genuine love for animals that always shines through. My goal is for both pets and their humans to feel completely at ease—like they’ve found a sitter who’s not just capable, but truly cares. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s not something I squeeze in; it’s something I prioritize. Whether I’m walking dogs, administering medication, or simply spending quiet time with a senior pet, I structure my schedule to ensure each animal gets consistent, focused attention. I plan my days around the needs of the pets in my care, from early morning potty breaks to evening feedings and bedtime routines. I also build in time for play, enrichment, and cuddles—because emotional wellbeing is just as important as physical care. If I’m caring for multiple pets or have bookings throughout the week, I stay organized with detailed notes, reminders, and plenty of communication with owners. For me, caring for animals isn’t a job I clock in and out of—it’s a rhythm I genuinely enjoy being part of. Pet care for clients home • Feeding & Fresh Water: Administer meals according to the pet’s schedule and dietary needs. • Daily Exercise & Play: Walks, fetch, playtime, or enrichment activities based on the pet’s energy level. • Routine Maintenance: Cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste, and ensuring the area is tidy. • Medication Administration: If required, administer medications or supplements as instructed. • Home Care: Bringing in mail, watering plants, adjusting lights, and maintaining a lived-in appearance. • Communication: Sending daily updates, photos, or videos to the client.

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Five stars! Kira is the absolute best and I cannot recommend her enough. I was pretty stressed about finding a cat sitter for this trip as my two boys are entering their senior years and have some special dietary/medication requirements. I just didn’t feel comfortable trusting it all to someone else for a whole week but Kira put me at ease immediately during our meet & greet. Her prior reviews and former experience really speak for themselves. She understood their significant personality differences and knew exactly how to handle them (which is saying something because one of my boys is very difficult and basically a gremlin in a catsuit). By day 3 of my vacation I realized I had stopped stressing about how the cats were doing because I felt so confident with Kira’s care. She is so communicative, flexible, and easy to work with. Also, bonus — she’s a fantastic pet photographer! We looked forward to the photos and commentary every day. Finally, the most important part to me is that I came home to find happy cats who were definitely happy to see me, but in no way seemed traumatized, which is how they usually act when I leave for a few days. She’s truly the best!”


“Elyse went above and beyond. She had challenges with Callie and had to give her medication and shots twice a day and clean up after her as she had issues with her litter box as well. Unfortunately Callie became ill while I was away and Elyse promptly called my vet and took Callie into the office. She kept me updated every day on her visits with my two cats with pictures. I would recommend Elyse to anyone.”
