Dog Sitting in New Britain

“Nikki was a top notch last min find for me and my boys…she was quick to respond, and eased my anxiety by meeting me and my pups before my drop in to ensure everyone was comfortable with each other. My anxious dog was very quick to warm up to her which proves to me she has a special way with 4 legged friends. She was attentive and gave lots of snuggles to my little buddies. Would def use her again”

About: Hi, I’m Ashley! I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. What sets me apart?

I’m calm, patient, and reliable, and I take the time to understand your pet’s unique needs and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or medications, I’ve got it covered. Your pets are family—and that’s exactly how I’ll treat them. I currently have a trainer for my own dog. I’ve been learning a lot and would love to pass down some tips to your fur baby I work full-time but have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends to care for pets. I love being around animals—it’s genuinely something that brings me peace and joy. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine, and I treat it as more than just a side job—it’s something I actually look forward to.

“Great first meeting--friendly and thorough--and patient with my questions and details. First two visits went smoothly--they checked in with follow-up questions and sent excellent pictures. Misti and Romi--my mother/daughter kitties agree.”

About: When I was younger, I would walk home from school and take care of many dogs all around my neighborhood. Whether it was taking them on walks, feeding them, letting them out to play, or simply just spending some quality time with them, it was always the highlight of my day! I am always eager to meet a new furry friend! I am a recent graduate of the University of Hartford, and am looking to move to New York City in the fall to pursue an acting career. I’m taking some time off at home right now and would love to take care of your furry friend! I can accommodate to any special need you require for your pet. As a dog owner, I understand the personalized care each home provides for their dog or cat. It is vital to me that your pet is as comfortable with me as they are with their owner!

About: I’ve been dog sitting and walking my parents dog for 5 years and have done the same with other friends dogs as well. I love dogs and will gladly help other dog owners take care of there pups in anyway i can! As a teacher, my summers are open and i couldn’t think of a better part time job to help fill the space. I am available Tuesday-Thursday 3pm-6pm until June 10th and after that, on those same dates, 11am-3pm. On weekends i am available 9am-12 noon. I cannot host pets unfortunately due to my condo complex not allowing them. If that policy changes i will gladly host pets in the future.

About: I worked at a doggy daycare so I’m reasonably confident in my ability to handle dogs of varying breeds and temperments and ages! I’m also not a person who’s scared around dogs, just cautious. I work part time sunday monday and tuesday at Fedex so wednesday thursday and friday would fill out the rest of my week hanging out with pets! I love playing with dogs and giving them the attention needed. I can feed them, I’m capable of following instructions, including medical instructions. I don’t have any experience poking pets with needles for medicine, but I can do pills and topical sprays and other things like that!

“Danielle was great with our cat Dusty. It was his first time not being with us for 11 days. He had a rough time but Danielle went above and beyond to earn his trust. Dusty is a feral cat that I rescued and hasn't warmed up to strangers and usually runs. After a few days Danielle was able to pet and play with him successfully and she provided pics of her petting him. She did extra cleaning when Dusty wasn't doing well that I wasn't around. He is very attached to me as I raised him from a kitten. I would recommend Danielle and would book her again if needed.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid—feeding, walking and giving lots of love. Friends, family and neighbors have trusted me with dogs, cats, and house sitting for years. I now care for my own pets full-time and truly understand the responsibility and joy that comes with it. Whether it’s playtime, a check-in, or an overnight stay, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet’s care. Whether it’s a midday walk, an evening check-in, or weekend boarding I’m available to fit your pet’s routine. I’m currently not working full-time, so your pets will get my full attention, affection, and consistent care throughout the day.

About: I have had German Shepherds to Corgis. Most recently, I owned a corgi who passed last week. I am looking to spoil pets as I can not spoil my pup anymore. I am currently working part-time and am flexible. I am always available at night and can request days off with enough notice. But I always have Wednesday, Friday, and sundays off. I always had my dog outside of her crate. I can do multiple walks per day and play for as long as the dog chooses. She has thyroid issues so I am used to giving dogs medication and extra love and cuddles.

About: I’ve dog sat my neighbors dogs for a week and watch my sisters dog and take them on walks. Also make sure they are getting the right love and care you give them. I have extra time to walk dogs and make sure they are getting the exercise they need. I work part time right now while finishing up my certification for teaching. There is a near by dog park and live in a quiet area to walk dogs on the sidewalks. Also make sure they are in a safe environment.

“Olivia was great! Handled both of them on a walk at the same time!”

About: I have experience with small-medium size dogs since I was 14 taking care of family’s/friends dogs. I even have my own dog who is a American bully who loves other animals even small ones! I have 3 month old American Staffordshire Terrier. She loves following her big brother and loves to play with play mates especially her size. Currently working on gaining more clients, I am home most of my days & nights besides when I am running errands or taking my dog on walks or trips to the park and to dog parks. Your pet will be taken out regularly, will be fed during correct times, trips for dog park/walk regularly, and in crate if trained! I ask for a set schedule so I can follow at home routines so pups aren’t out of routine! I have a one year old bully who can keep them company and a 3 month old pup too! They absolutely love having new friends! If needed my smaller one can be put separate or so can my big boy too.

About: I've taken care of pets ever since I was little. Growing up, I had to take care of 2 dogs and I was home alone most of the time so I was able to. My brother moved in with me for a couple years and I had to take care of his 3 cats alone most of the time which made me grew a liking to taking care of pets. I'm very gentle and detail oriented when it comes to working. I'll keep my full attention on your pets and their safety. I enjoy pet care and will free up time in order to take care and walk your pets! I do work and go to school but because the semester is over, I have a very flexible schedule. I care for pets in my home by giving them my full attention. I will make sure I don't have plans or anything I need to do so I can make sure your pet is safe 24/7.

About: I’ve had multiple pets since I was young and always had a great love for all animals. I have had my dog since I was 6 years old and been taking care of her since then. Neighbors and family members have always trusted me taking care of their cats, dogs, bunnies, and birds and I love meeting and forming a connection with them all! I also have experience with senior and special needs as my dog had some behavioral issues in the last few years of her life and she has taught me a lot about having compassion for everyone. 🩷 My school year is over so I am currently home for the summer and will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I also am available on breaks as well and would love to walk your dog during those times! I am majoring in animal studies with a minor in environmental studies in college and have a very strong love and passion for all animals. I have a big fenced yard for your dog to run around and play in! My both love all types of pets and are super welcoming.

I’ve also taken care of cats, fish, and have had some experience with birds. Im very passionate when it comes to animals and enjoy donating my free time to help out when needed. I’ve volunteered for pet shelters and have completed a course on pet first aid and disaster preparedness. I worked at a dog daycare/boarding center for a year looking after dogs all breeds and sizes. My responsibilities included feeding pets their specific diets, administering medication, clean and maintain kennels, supervision of play areas, and bathed dogs before pick ups or when necessary. Availability: I am a full time employee, my regular job hours are from 7am to 3:30pm.

To ensure trust and safety I communicate thoroughly and regularly with the owners to make sure I meet the pets needs. I regularly send pictures of their pets while they’re on their walk, playing, eating, etc, as a way to show the owner their pet is safe and being well taken care of. *References available upon request*
