Pet Sitting in Meriden

“Kaitlyn was great! Our dog is very skittish around strangers, and Kaitlyn was very patient and understanding. She sent us regular updates and pictures.”

About: I've always loved dogs. I've spent three years working at a dog shelter as office manager, intake person which includes giving oral and injection medications, adoption coordinator, feeding and watering, cleaning, and socializing. I'm available during the week after 5:30pm. Weekends are open. I volunteer at the local dog shelter but need a little something more to fill my need to spend time with animals. I enjoy nature walks and stop as often as the dogs do to look at things. :) My schedule is flexible. When I am with dogs, it is sometimes hard to draw my attention away from them because they are so very loving and giving. I like to give that back to them.

“Annie was fantastic! We will use her again! The communication & pictures she sent made our trip away from our pet so much easier! Thanks for taking such great care of our Gracie!”

My first dog i trained was trained in agility My 2nd dog, i trained as my service dog, sport dog whom competes in , AKC rally, dock diving and rally. Often times, i go to work and come home to hang out with my animals, and do things directly with them, my life revolves around there needs. I do have a unfenced yard, but all my dogs that i have are tethered and have never gotten away. All my dogs are friendly except Millie. She stays separate from any dog that enters my home and is crate rotated.

About: I have a history of working with dogs in rescues, whether it be taking them for walks or grooming. I have had dogs of my own, and over the past year I have taken in over a dozen dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments and taken care of them completely and help train them until they have found homes of their own. I have worked with special needs dogs that included giving them medications and providing some physical support. I have experience with seizure dogs. I currently work full time but am provided breaks throughout the day in which I can help to check in on animals and provide walks needed. I have experience in crating & rotating if needed. Dogs are let outside on a long lead to use the rest room and are on leashes as we walk around our property in the country.

About: Hi my name is Kari and I've been taking care of my dogs for 11 years. I have two dogs. I have a little Morkie and a lab/aussie mix named Sammy and Daisy they are both fixed and have all their shots. I live with my family my husband and my daughter Shelly and my son Noah who is almost 7 years old. I live in a home with a fenced yard and I walk the dogs all the time. I'm off work Saturdays and Sundays. Monday through Friday I'm a dental assistant but have flexible hours. I will be the person taking care of your fur family. I am good at bathing and grooming dogs. I love all dogs and am very trustworthy. If you need a sitter or dog walker reach out to me. I am currently working Monday- Friday at a dental clinic but I'm home by 2:00 or 4:00 and my husband is home most of the time to help with the pups or kitties. I have a fenced backyard and have my very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can kennel if you'd wish as well.

“Kasandra was great to depend on to look over my dogs. Especially when it was a last minute booking. On top of looking after them, she was able to do some miscellaneous things that came about due to certain circumstances. It really give you a peace of mind when you can rely on someone to look after your fur babies. Thanks Kasandra!”

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 and live on a 6 acre farm where the dogs can run and play all day. I’m currently between jobs but anticipate that my next work will be WFH so I can care for the dogs and other farm animals day in and day out. While the yard is not fenced per se, I do have invisible fencing if your dog is used to that system. I have 3 of my own dogs that know the boundaries and stay within them. I have a 3 bedroom house with 2 of the bedrooms unoccupied so there is plenty of space. I have crates of different sizes of your dog prefers to be crated for any length of time. One of my dogs is crated when not home the other 2 are free to roam the house and very well behaved.

About: I have been a dog mom for 12 years and am experienced with both young and old pups. I will ensure that your pup receives the best care/love/attention while you are away! My dogs get walks every morning and evening. I work an 8-hour, day however I come home over lunch to take my pups out to potty. I am home in the early afternoons/evenings. I have 2 smaller dogs that love the company of other dogs. I have a kennel and extra leashes for walking. Anytime the dogs are outside they will be leashed (for walks or potty) We are an animal loving home that will make sure your pup is treated like one of our own!

“Last minute set up with a meet and greet and Mallory was very flexible! Our dogs loved her and we had no issues. Would book with her again, thank you!”

About: A pet is like a child. You love them and want the absolute best for them. As a former dog mom I understand how hard it is to find someone you trust to take care of your pet and love them while you’re gone. That’s where I come in! My schedule is fairly flexible. I have a full time job and prioritize working out, but outside of those two items I’m fairly free and can work to meet your needs. I no longer have any of my own pets as my 14 year old dog passed away last year, but I help care for my parents cats often and love being around animals!

About: I’m a volunteer at BENCHS regional pet shelter where I’m involved in their dog enrichment program and dog walking. Ive worked with a wide variety of temperaments/ages/shapes/sizes. I’ve had dogs my whole life, and currently have a very smart 5yr old Doberman/lab named Remi who loves running, swimming, hiking, and knows a ton of unique tricks. Such as playing dead, spinning, rolling over, speak, and whisper, and much more. My normal routine involves walking my own dog twice a day no matter what (including enrichment/training). My volunteer work also involves walking multiple dogs during the afternoons. I enjoy working with and training not only my own dogs but other dogs. My dog is spoiled but very well behaved. She has a regular schedule and I try my best to give her a daily routine she can rely on. Whether that be her daily walks, feeding schedule, and enrichment time. I work full time and still always have time to maintain routine for her. Needless to say that’s how I approach all pets. They appreciate and love routine in their lives so if I can give them that, they seem to be much happier/well behaved/trainable.

About: I have grown up with and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Whether it’s walks, training, cuddles, or overnight stays, I have experience with it all! I have taken care of and am comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes. I’m currently a college student with classes for just a few hours a day Tuesday-Friday, otherwise I have a very flexible schedule. I am fully available Saturday-Monday! At the moment, I am not able to offer overnight stays at my home but am comfortable staying at yours. I’ll follow any instructions or routines you provide to keep your dog comfortable and happy. I will also make sure to leave your home just as I found it!

About: I have 5 amazing dogs of my own, 1 pitbull, 2 American Eskimo mini and 2 Pomeranians. I had 2 liter of puppies from my dogs (1st liter was 10 pups, 2nd liter was 5 pups) and was able to raise them well for their furever home. I run a lot, so if your dog needs to exercise, you can count me in. Or simply needs a rest day, or any kind of special needs, I’m your girl. I work full time and have my own babies to care for, but I’m a super dog mom so I’m pretty flexible and prepared for anything. With my own experiences of owning 5 dogs, and raising 15 puppies, I feel like that should speak for itself. I do have a fenced in yard, I love dogs and I want them to be happy while they're with me or their own homes.

“David went above and beyond my expectations watching our old timer. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a responsible sitter. I appreciate the extra time he spend with our beloved pet. He is very responsive and even checked on the house to make sure our refrigerator was close as we left in a rush. A+ sitter and will use again.”

“Our (senior) dog warmed up to Morgan quickly. When we first met, Morgan asked great questions, showed up on time, and communicated well. She took our dog for walks and got her back in the kennel. When came home and our dog was asleep in the kennel and calm. Thanks Morgan!”

About: I've been described as a "natural" and a "dog whisperer" in shelter environments. I pursue continuous education in towards dogs knowing their might be better methodology. With my current dog we are working towards her Canine Good Citizen Title. Personally I'm working towards an independent Dog Training/Behaviorist certification which will require 200 hours of training experience of dogs that aren't mine over the next 3 years. I've always lived in a single dog home, but looking forward to when I might be able to have a multiple dog home. I'm available on weeknights for in home-training, drop-ins, or walks. I hope to enrich your dogs life by being an extension or substitute to your routine or working with you to develop one. Dog care starts with integrity. You must genuinely want a positive experience for yourself and the dog. I start by assessing their comfort level with me as a person, their general aversion to body handling, movement speed, and sensitivity to verbal interrupters or no reward markers. High rate of praise and treats are a much more efficient and effective tool than alternatives and don't jeopardize the human animal bond.
