About: Hello! My name is Nayra! I used to volunteer at the local ASPCA in my hometown of Meriden, Connecticut! Recently moved here and want to make connections with more pets! I’ve always loved animals ever since a young age, my goal is to make sure animals in need of care or help is taken care of. Throughout my life I have always been attached to dogs and tried my best to help as many as I could. I’m a owner of a German Shepherd and a poodle that suffers from many complications, I miss them very much and I look forward to meeting other dogs. And I also look forward to making connections with new dogs, learning their personalities, and giving them the care/attention that they need! Dogs are just like people. They’re all different and require different types of care.

About: I always been around dogs and animals my whole life and since I was really young I’ve owned a dog and have been taught how to take care of them. I’ve taken care of dogs of friends and family including dogs as young as a new puppy and as old as 13 years old. I would take close attention if there were any special details aswell. I am currently in college studying business and marketing. I am usually available most days a week and will always put animals before myself. I am trying to get more of a solid job soon, so availability may change soon. I always make sure that there is nothing of danger laying around in my house and in close reach of the dogs. And I would take the same care for another persons house as I would with my own, including keeping it clean and safe.

About: I have experience with a variety of dogs, cats, and other animals. I love animals very much!! I don’t currently have any animals, so it would bring me joy to spend time with your beloved pet. I am a highly (emotionally) sensitive individual, and I pride myself on reading animals’ body language and cues. I am extremely patient (I am a teacher) and it’s extremely fulfilling for me to build relationships with animals. I would describe my personality as careful, deliberate, kind. During the summer, I’m very flexible! I volunteer a couple hours per week, but the rest of my schedule is flexible. Once the school year starts again, I’m usually available in the afternoons, or on weekends. In a client’s home, I am respectful of their space. I can follow any instructions given, and I am quite detail- oriented and cautious. I’m a double-checker by nature!


About: I've had a hamster, several fish, a dog, and I've been taking care of my cat, Maggie, for 12 years. I'll always have pets because they make life more fun. I'm available for visits anytime. I create my schedule around the needs of the pet and will be happy to help as much as I can. Maggie is an indoor cat, but she loves the open windows, as do I. I enjoy walking dogs, playing with cats, and taking care of both.

About: I worked at a dog hotel during my college years. I ate, slept and ran around with 15-30 dogs for 2-3 days straight. It was one of my favorite jobs I have ever had! Since college, I have maintained my own 2-3 dog crew in my house. Sometimes pet sitting for family and friends as well. I have cared for all ages of dogs, many breeds; including difficult ones. I personally own a samoyed (high needs with grooming); dalmatian (who is prone to stones and needs to be on a very specific diet) and a shiba inu mix (who is battling heart failure and has high needs with medication) I am currently a stay at home mom with two children in school. My preferred hours are 9am-3pm Monday through Friday. I prefer to take dogs on walks and runs during this time! I will be happy to come to your home and follow any specific instructions you have for your pet. I know the level of trust needed to let someone into your home when you're not there and I will respect your home as if it was my own.

About: I have grown up around many different kinds of animals. I have lived on a farm for my entire life and love every second of it. It is hard work but very rewarding. I also went to an agricultural high school where I graduated with a certificate in animal science. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own. For my farm animals I currently have llamas, goats, and ducks! I do have a few people that I house sit/ dog walk for and I enjoy getting to know all furry friends! I’m currently a student at Gateway Community College and have a part time job with the YMCA. My schedule is pretty flexible considering though. I work through the summer at a camp working with students from 8am-1:30pm. During the school year I work from 6am-8am then 2pm-6pm Monday through Friday. On the weekends I am typically free! I usually walk my dogs on a leash but they are also trained off leash. I also take them to many trails and to as many pet friendly places as possible. For others I like to get as much detail about your animal as possible to make them feel as comfortable as possible!
