“Julie was fantastic while we were on vacation for over a week! She was reliable and spent time with our dog outside and sent pictures each day! She even brushed the hair off our dog as well! I highly recommend her!”

About: My name is Katelyn, and I’m a Pre-Vet student who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. I have professional experience as both a dog walker and a house sitter, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of temperaments, routines, and special care needs. In addition, I work closely with a rescue organization where I’ve fostered many dogs and cats of all ages, gaining hands-on experience with young animals, socialization, and daily care. I recently graduated with a degree in Animal Science and a minor in Equine Studies, and I plan to continue pursuing my path toward veterinary school. Through both my education and hands-on experience, I’ve developed a strong foundation in animal behavior, handling, welfare, and medical care. Over the summers, I work as a veterinary technician, where I gain practical experience with animal health, safety, and clinical care. I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of species, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I would truly love the opportunity to help care for your pets and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I am currently working part-time and have a pretty flexible schedule! I am available for house sitting or dog walking any day of the week. I always care for pets according to their normal routine and the owner’s preferences since consistency helps animals feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise or playtime, and receive lots of attention and positive interaction. I’m careful to follow any specific instructions for medications, diets, training cues, or household rules. I also make sure litter boxes, yards, and feeding areas stay clean. I like to keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they know how their pet is doing. For shy or nervous pets, I am patient and let them warm up at their own pace. For energetic pets, I’m happy to provide extra play and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
“Hailey was fantastic. She took our last minute request, which I was extremely thankful for. She was able to wrangle all four of my excitable dogs without issue. Every interaction was professional, and the dogs loved her. She's great at what she does, and I'll definitely be keeping her in mind if I need any drop-ins in the future. Five stars!”

“I had just moved to Cheshire, CT and needed to find a cat babysitter quickly. I am so lucky to have found Christine online. From the moment I met her, I knew I did not have to worry about my 2 cats. She is the sweetest and most caring person you could ask for and her love for pets comes through. I have found a car sitter for whenever I travel in the future.”

“Karlena has been amazing with our puppy Billie! She is always on time and keeps us updated. She works on training her while she’s here and puts up with the puppy biting. She is our saving grace on days where we aren’t home for extended periods of time.”

About: I try to take parts of Cesar Milan's strategy with dogs specifically. Trying to not reward bad behavior. Making sure a pet can respect my boundaries. I work flexible hours as an independent contractor so I make my own schedule. I am building my pet care business so I am signing up for a drone pilots license for pet recovery. I am also working on upgrading my vehicle to a minivan. I am offering pet sitting in your home until that can change to my home. I am needing different things done to my home before I can bring pets to my house.
“I highly recommend Rebecca! Everything went very smoothly and she made my family’s time away stress free. She took care of my two dogs and it was clear they were in good hands! She sent several pictures with her updates which was awesome!”


About: My name is Chase. I am a track and field athlete with a bunch of energy. I am also experienced in dog training. I can go on runs with your dogs and take on as much play time as they can dish out. What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep love and respect for animals. I have always been a pet owner and animal lover, and I treat every pet under my care as if they were my own. I understand that pets are more than just animals, they are beloved members of the family, and they deserve the best care possible. I take the time to get to know each pet's unique personality, preferences, and needs, and I tailor my care accordingly. I am patient, compassionate, and attentive, and I make sure to give each pet the individualized care and attention they deserve. I am also reliable, professional, and responsive, and I communicate regularly with pet owners to provide updates and answer any questions or concerns they may have. Above all, I am committed to providing the highest quality pet care possible, and I take pride in making sure both pets and owners are happy and satisfied with my service. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. As a passionate pet lover, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of my furry friends. I start my day by feeding and walking my own pets, and then I head out to provide pet care services to my clients. During my visits, I make sure to give each pet the attention and care they need, whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply cuddling. I also keep track of any specific needs or instructions from the pet owner, and I communicate regularly with them to provide updates and ensure their peace of mind. After my visits, I make sure to leave the pet's environment clean and tidy, and I follow up with the owner to make sure they are satisfied with my service. Pet care is not just a job for me, it's a passion, and I take pride in providing the best care possible to every pet in my care. When caring for pets in the client's home, I follow any specific instructions or guidelines provided by the owner. I make sure to keep the pet's environment clean and tidy, and I provide the same level of love and attention that I would give to my own pets. I make sure to stick to the pet's regular feeding and exercise schedule and provide any special care or medications as needed. I also communicate regularly with the owner to provide updates and ensure their peace of mind. My priority is always the pet's comfort, safety, and happiness. I am committed to providing top-quality pet care that meets both the pet's and the owner's needs.
“Alex watched my dogs for several days while I was out of town and took fantastic care of them. She played fetch every time she went by, sent several pictures, and let me know anything out of the ordinary. I would highly recommend letting Alex take care of your fur babies!”


“Tatum was soooo great with my quirky dog! She totally went above and beyond to make sure my nervous nelly was comfortable enough to eat and do her business. She also kept me updated on everything that was going on with my pup and my kitty. I’ll definitely work with Tatum again!”

About: I worked for The FurKid company in New York City. There, I walked dogs, as well as provided overnight care for dogs and cats, which includes administering medication to the animals. I'm a teacher, so I am mostly available outside of the 7:30PM to 3:30PM window. I pour a lot of love into the animals I care for, no matter how much time I have with them! I have no pets of my own, so will be able to put all of my energy into yours! I unfortunately don't have a yard, but there is plenty of green space and a dog park in my apartment complex.
“Whitnee was able to come through for us at the last minute when our usual rover had to cancel. She was punctual, professional, responsive, and took great care of our two cats! Would certainly book with her again.”

Hailey was perfect with our two shy cats. She had them wrapped around her fingers after the first visit. We were shocked to receive photos of them being chatty with her and wanting all the pets. She went above and beyond what we requested. She will take care of your pets and treat your home as if her own. We will absolutely be rebooking with Hailey.
