Dog lover looking for dog company:)

Pet care experience

HUGE dog lover and grew up with a lab until she passed away :( I also had a cat and a rabbit. I love watching other people’s dogs whenever I get the opportunity. Recently, I have been dog sitting my sisters new puppy! I’m in medical school at UConn health and am doing school mostly remote from my house. I am super flexible with times as my schedule is pretty sporadic throughout the day. I am always looking for the opportunity to go for walks and get outside throughout the day to get away from my screen! I live in a condo complex with a roommate who is a fellow dog lover! We have a nice plot of grass behind our house, but it is not fenced in. The two of us go on a daily walk throughout the entire complex, and usually run into other dogs! :)

Deirdre is such a caring and reliable sitter. Deirdre has watched my golden retriever periodically over the last year and I always feel very comfortable knowing my dog is in great hands while staying with her. I would highly recommend her services to anyone.

Deirdre was amazing. I would 1000% recommend her to watch any pets. She was accommodating when our travel plans changed and sent photos and updates throughout our trip. I am always nervous leaving my doggo and she eased those nerves by responding quickly to any messages. Nala seemed very happy after her stay!

Deirdre was a great sitter for my 3 month golden retriever puppy! She was great at communicating and sending updates during her visits with him. I never doubted that he was in good hands and it made it easier to leave him for longer periods of time. I would recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter!

Deirdre watched our 1 year old rescue dog, Cricket, for a weekend while we were away at a wedding. Deirdre sent us photos and updates throughout the weekend and we could tell that Cricket was having a great time. Cricket slept the entire day after we picked her up because she had so much fun with Deirdre. Deirdre even room Cricket on a 3 mile hike. I would highly recommend Deirdre as a dog sitter and walker.
