Pet care experience

Pet lover without a pet of her own!

I work remote and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, especially during the week. I love hiking and going for runs and, if your dog is up for it, I would love to take them with me. I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, chickens, pigs and horses. I love animals and miss being around them!

House Sitting • Sep 26, 2025

Once again Thea proved that we can 100% have a stress free vacation knowing our animals were in such great care. She even went out of her way with our request of taking care of our hamster. House was left tidy, animals were stress free and well taken care of. We won’t be using anyone else for future getaways.

I don’t have enough words to give Thea on how well she took care of my babies. I’ve never had anyone be so attentive and caring for their well being. Not once did I have to worry that my pets weren’t being taken care of for the week we were away. She even went above and beyond and bought a new pot for the plant that my crazy kittens broke. I won’t ever be using another sitter again. Thank you Thea!

Thea was absolutely wonderful! Great communication, wonderful with the pups, kind, tidy and responsible, I can't say enough good things! I can't recommend her enough and will be calling on her first as I need an in-home sitter going forward.

Thea once again is the best! Always wears out my dog so I don’t have to worry about her stressing. My new kittens also loved her!

Amazing experience! Kept in contact after each visit. Very communicative and kind as this was our first sitter for our pup. 100/10 experience :)

Calendar and availability

Schedule

My work is fully remote and mostly asynchronous. I can adjust my schedule fairly easily to care for your pet whenever works best for you.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment, unfortunately, does not allow pets. If you’re away, I’d be more than happy to come to your home and give your pets belly rubs, ear scratches, long walks and a whole lot of love!

A typical day

I grew up in Vermont and my hobbies include going for hikes, running and fishing. While CT’s mountains can’t compete with the Green Mountains, I’m outside as often as I can. I would love to take your pets with me. Or even just hang out with them in your backyard.

Let me know if there are any behaviors or special needs your dog or cats may have. I have a lot of experience including years of caring for an extremely frightened dog as well as a little escape artist (she could even get out of a snug full body harness!)
