“Deb is the best, we have two dogs. One senior and one wild 4 year old. She is great with both, very sweet and super reliable. She has helped us twice now and we hope to keep working with her in the future.”


“Emilia was wonderful with my dog! She took extra time to get to know him, learn his routine, and make sure we were both comfortable before even taking a dime. I really felt I could trust her with my dog and knew he would be in good hands. She took such good care of him while I was gone and updated me during each visit which was super comforting. Will deff book with her again!”


About: Your custom care is here. I’ve taken care of German Shepherds and small teacup poodles. Let me know what you need and I will do my best! I’m a full-time teacher so I get out of school at four so I can walk your dog then. I work in Hartford so I can also let your fur baby out on my break. Let me know if you need me watch or sit any of your pets over the weekend. Blessings! I live in a large condo association with lots of paved areas to walk. Some elevation and other friendly dogs around here. There’s a large vacant parking lot if they want to throw a ball or frisbee. There is a trail nearby if they want to walk in the woods or on rocks and dirt.

“Kelly is the absolute best! She eases all my worries while I’m away from my puppy. She’s very understanding of puppy behavior, and helps to enforce the things I’m teaching him. She goes above and beyond helping clean up accidents he’s left. She’s great at communicating with me. And my puppy is clearly very happy and tired out when she leaves!”


“This was Jordan’s first time watching our cats Aki and Haru, and we could not be more pleased. Jordan is an excellent communicator and made the process easy for us every step of the way. We loved getting pictures of the kitties, and they seemed to love having a visitor! Jordan made them feel comfortable and cared for. We are so grateful for Jordan’s help and would absolutely recommend them for looking after your furry friends!”


About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals big and small furry or reptilian! I’m comfortable with different energy levels and sizes and willing to put in the work to get to know your pet and make sure they are comfortable! I work from home with very flexible hours so I can accommodate many different schedules during business hours and throughout the rest of the day I live in an apartment so will not be caring for pets in my home, but I am very careful and thorough with all pet care instructions.

About: I have been an owner of my dog, Scout for 13 years. Over those 13 years, I have learned how to care for animals. I have volunteered for the humane society for the past 5 years as well! I am currently working during the mornings of each weekend so I am pretty flexible during the weekdays. I can care for your pet during any hour of the day during the week! I feed, walk, and shower my dog with attention each day. I will treat your pet the same way mine would want to be treated.

About: Hi! I love dogs and treat them as if they were my children. I grew up with dogs in the household. From having a husky, shih-tzu, and now 2 havanese! I have 17 years of experience and I dogsit my family's pets frequently. I work mostly from home allowing me to have as flexible schedule. I take out my own dogs multiple times throughout the day for potty. I can do daily walks as I try to take my own out as much as possible. I have two friendly dogs- one is very playful and loves meeting other furbabies. I live in a townhouse where there's space to take out the dogs in the yard. Your dog will be in great hands! I work mostly from home, so I have a flexible schedule. This allows me to walk the dogs throughout the day and keep an eye on them. I have two friendly dogs, one loves to play! I can crate if desired. I also have 2 levels in my home where I can separate them if needed.


About: I grew up in a household with many pets of all kinds, I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter, worked in a pet store, and even worked with some exotic animals too. I’m comfortable around animals and I work hard to insure they feel safe and active with me. I am able to read a pet’s body language and communicate well both verbally and nonverbally. Every animal is different and has their own unique personality, and it’s a joy and reward to get to know each one. I have a flexible schedule and have experience long term housesitting (up to a month at a time). I work for myself so I can be really flexible with availability. I am happy to be able to tailor my care to your pet and their usual routines. I follow all instructions given to me on pet/home care. I treat the animals and home as if they were my own. I am a neat & tidy person, generally a homebody in the evenings, and I am a respectful sitter of both my clients and their lovely pets.

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’ve grew up with dogs since I was 2 years old and I’ve always been attached to them. Any family member who had a dog, I’d always be over and take them on walks, feed and bathe them..it was always just an automatic reaction for me. In middle school, my cousin and I raised money by coming up with a dog walking job. We use to make signs after school and post them and/or walk with them. We got about 2 pet owners. Just recently, I was heading to work and found an oversized bull dog walking in the middle street and people trying to make her get out of it. I immediately stopped my car and wouldn’t leave until I got her in my car and my spouse and I went and got her food. My manager ended up taking her to the animal rescue. So, dogs have always been apart of my life! I currently work part time so I’ll be available majority of the time to care for your pet needs with no problem! I also have a 16 month old son so certain hours will be his nap time but I will give details when booked. I have two small fur babies and a toddler that will keep your pet company, we have a yard where exercise and fresh air will be guaranteed. If needed your pet can be crated at ur proposal.

About: I grew up with a dog for the majority of my childhood, and he was such a light in our lives! My fiancee and I are surrounded by dogs in our extended family, but do not have any of our own just yet. I am excited to offer my time and attention to a family who needs an extra hand. I am a full time nanny for an infant, and a student in an SLP Program. I am available for services before 8:15 and after 5:00 pm on weekdays, and full days on weekends if I don't have any prior obligations that I've committed to. We have a small yard that I can bring the dog leashed, and a walking friendly neighborhood in Newington. For the client's home, I am happy to oblige to the systems in place that work for you and your household!

About: I’ve had my dog molly since she was a little baby. Since she has grown up with me and I have taken the head of responsibility with feeding her, walking her and making sure she has pleanty of toys to play with. I am still a highschool student, about to begin my senior year, so my schedule works as I wake up at about 6am, take molly outside to use the restroom then come back inside, feed molly and my 2 cats. Afterschool I like to take molly for a long walk to get out her energy for the afternoon, and I usually feed my cats and dogs dinner at about 4-5pm. because the summer has started for me, I would prefer to have bookings for 11am-4:00pm. regarding house sitting/staying over night I will have my calendar updated!! I’m also great with babysitting kids. I have a baby brother and sister, so if that’s something you’d need as a service feel free to let me know! because of the fact I have two cats and a dog, I would only like to offer services inside others homes and outside. For my clients home, depending on what kind of animal i’m watching, I can take them on walks, clean litter boxes, feed them, take them on walks to treat them to an animal friendly treat. I also plan to clean clients homes of any cat or dog hair! I can provide services such as brushing the cats or dogs, but I do ask for owners to have a comb or brush for animals.
