About: I’ve raised seven puppies and cared for a 15-year-old senior dog, so I’m comfortable with everything from potty training and high-energy pups to gentle senior care and medication routines. I’ve also had three dogs and two cats, so I understand different personalities and multi-pet households. I’m attentive, patient, and very communicative — your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I intentionally build my schedule around walks, feedings, and quality time. I’m used to planning my days around pet needs, and I make sure their care is prioritized and never rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules closely, maintain walk and play routines, administer any needed medications, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I’m very mindful of respecting your space and keeping your home clean and organized. I communicate regularly with updates and photos so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. 🐾
“Took great care of Gracie - sent pictures, reliable, responsive and made sure everything was cared for prior to leaving - which I have found to be lacking in many dog sitters.”

“Marie is the best!!!! She takes such good care of our pup and is responsive and sends the best daily updates with great photos of our pup having a great time. Marie really provides a peace of mind that is hard to find when leaving your dog. Also, she kept the place cleaner than we left it and that is always appreciated!!”

“Arabelle was a joy to work with! She was meticulous in her planning and knowing what needed to be done for Floki, plus making sure she had all emergency numbers and what to do in case of an emergency. She made sure Floki was was very well cared for while we were away and even brought him a new ball to play with! He was walked, fed on time and played with in our yard with frequent communications so that we could see all of the fun he was having. I would highly recommend Arabelle to anyone that needs overnight care or even daily check ins. She was just what we needed and expected for our fur family and will be using her again for future day trips and longer vacations!”

“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our dog and extremely communicative throughout all of her visits. We will definitely be using her services again in the future and can’t recommend her enough.”

“Emily was wonderful with our pups and cats! She housesat for 5 days/nights and took great care of everyone and everything! She sent us texts and photos and asked about things that might be concerning, like one of our cats who has cherry eye (I hadn't mentioned it, as I don't really think about it and he hid in our initial visit) and she was concerned that he might have gotten his eye scratched. Very thorough and sent me a text of her perception of their personalities....spot on!! The dogs LOVED her too! I would use her for petsitting without hesitation! Extremely trustworthy young woman!”

“Kel was so wonderful with our critters! Our pup is a bit of a weirdo and Kel was so receptive to all of Clover’s idiosyncrasies with going outside. She made sure to give us plenty of updates throughout the weekend and ensured our pup got her meds each day. So much peace of mind knowing our critters was well taken care of while we were away.”

“Patty really cares about caring for animals. She was easy to schedule on short notice, made sure we met ahead of time to ensure that there was a good fit between her and Zola, and was accommodating throughout the visit. I appreciated all the photos and updates. Feels less stressful traveling when you know your four legged friend is in good hands. Thanks, Patty! Would reccomend.”

About: I have had dogs & cats my whole life & have grown up taking care of neighbors’ & friends’ pets in addition to my own! I have also cared for birds, rabbits, reptiles, and exotic animals at rehabilitation facilities. I love animals & am ready to attend to the specific needs of all different species. This summer, I am working irregular schedules for a few different side gigs but currently have ample free time every day & night to attend to your pets! I treat every animal & home with the respect that I would treat my own. I want to ensure the comfort of the pet & also minimize stress as much as possible for you! I am a strong communicator and will not hesitate to reach out with questions to make sure you know I care about providing the best service.

About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life and could not imagine it without them! I’ve had several Labrador retrievers and a German shepherd, and have trained them since about 8 weeks old. I have experience administering oral and injectable medications including insulin. I have a medical background so am great with dogs who need medical attention! I’m in graduate school, so my schedule varies on weekdays and I am available all day on weekends. I tend to spend time in and around East Rock and downtown. I always ensure to be gentle and caring with all dogs. I love to play fetch, go for walks, or just hang out! I will meet any and all requests you have. I also have experience with administering oral medications and giving insulin.
“Sienna was fantastic! She stayed at our house and watched our two cats and dog. She sent me pictures and gave me plenty to of updates. She was a pleasure to work with from beginning to the end. My animals were very well taken care of I plan on using her again in the future!”

“Veronica was wonderful! She played with our pup and took her on lots of walks. We got plenty of update photos and videos. She was really respectful of our home and left it very tidy. We’d be happy to have her again!”

“Dustin did a great job watching our pets and our home under less than perfect conditions. We were very concerned when a snow storm knocked out power while we were away, but Dustin didn’t panic and took care of everything until the power finally was restored. When we returned the house and pets were all in fine shape. We thank dustin, and we will certainly use his services again if needed.”

About: I love dogs as the oversized babies that they are. I love to play with them and go on hikes. It’s great to have a little buddy around. I work full time but looking forward to walking dogs after or before work. I’m looking forward to having a companion while hosting dogs on my days off I’m very attentive and engaging. I am adaptable to each dogs personality and energy levels. Whether it’s a cozy day watching tv and cuddling on the couch or out and about on a hike.

We had a few scheduling hiccups at first, but after a while everything worked out and WOW she was wonderful with my dog, Arlo. He’s a very excited 78 lb puppy, and I was nervous leaving him for the first time, but she immediately made me feel at ease. She handled him confidently and sent pictures and updates throughout the day, which made me feel reassured and at peace. I would definitely recommend her and plan to use her again.

Pauline always does a phenomenal job with my pups. She is my go to dog sitter and I always try to book her specifically for my travel. My dogs are well taken care of and even my picky eater eats well for her. She always leaves the apartment so clean and goes the extra mile to take out the trash, vacuum, and wash the sheets. I’m so grateful for everything she does!

We needed a house/dog sitter on short notice and Hope responded immediately. She came over an introduction and she connected with our fussy, old dog instantly! Hope did an excellent job sending us photos and keeping us informed about Opal’s care. There is no question we will have Hope help us again!

Kinsey was an absolute pleasure to have as our sitter. She was incredibly kind, loving, and attentive with my puppy, Theo. You could truly tell how much she cares — Theo didn’t even want her to leave! 😄 She kept me updated, treated him like her own, and made the whole experience stress-free and comforting. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.

Veronica was an excellent sitter for my boys, who are very social and demand lots of attention and cuddles. She sent me frequent updates, photos, and videos, which really made me feel at ease knowing they were well cared for. She was very communicative and responded quickly to every message. I would definitely hire her again!

Ran did an amazing job watching our cat Cannoli while we were gone over the holidays! We had another sitter cancel last minute and Ran truly saved the day. She had great communication, sent lots of pictures, and left our apartment spotless. We were so reassured during our trip that Cannoli was in the best hands. We will absolutely book with Ran again in the future!

Karina and Teresa, both came to hang with our pups during Christmas while we took a day trip to visit family. Not only did they come in clutch with accepting the kinda-last-minute holiday need, but they were PERFECT for our dogs. They were super communicative and kind and from the minute they met our dogs, till the moment we got home, our dogs loved them and we knew they were in good hands. I’d say book them immediately, but we also selfishly want them all to ourselves! You can’t go wrong with trusting Karina and Teresa with your babies ❤️
