About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets for my whole life, including dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and reptiles. I have a real love for animals! For the past 3 years I have been trusted to watch family and friends’ dogs. I’m a true lover of all animals, especially dogs! I’m currently in college to find my dream job with animals, and would love to have more experience working with them. My goal is to hopefully make a career out of caring for animals and giving them the love they all deserve. I’m currently taking online college classes, with a lot of flexibility, so just let me know what you need and I’ll let you know if I’m available! I will do anything that is in your pet’s best interest. I’m here to keep them comfortable and happy!! Wether it includes walking them when they need, taking them outside to play/use the bathroom, feeding them on their schedule, crating them if needed, or simply giving them pets, snuggles, and playtime!

About: The only experience I have is with family pets. I normally take care of my sisters cockapoo while she’s out of town. I also have a dog of my own, she’s a miniature schnauzer🥰 I currently work a part time job but I am busy mostly the whole week with church services. I have 2 free morning days/early afternoons! I have a friendly dog that has her own place to be. I do not have a fenced yard but nothing a leash cant fix!

“Very communicative and considerate of my dog’s needs!”

About: I’m a caring and attentive dog mom with 6 years of experience and a lifelong love for animals. I’ve cared for family pets over the years and now have two sweet, friendly Shih Tzu mixes of my own. I treat every fur baby like part of my family, giving them plenty of affection, attention, and comfort while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priority! I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide 24-hour care and attention throughout the week and on weekends. My flexible schedule means your pup will always have company, playtime, and plenty of love. I have a spacious home with lots of room to roam, tons of dog toys and treats, and a fully fenced backyard for safe playtime. My two friendly dogs love making new friends, and I can easily crate your dog if needed for comfort or safety.

“Carla, thank you very much for walking with Pochi. It was very pleased with your kindness. He is very happy and trust you as a family member. I am sure Pochi miss you so much. I will definitely ask you next time too😊🙇‍♀️”

About: I’ve had a dog and watch family and friends dogs since I was 9. In getting older I love training dogs I have worked with puppies to help them with basic commands such as sit, stay, lay down, and stop. I am experienced in leash training border collies this is also a great way to get dogs energy out as it uses their body and mind. I do go to college so I can help at night or sporadically can check in and take them for walks during the day. On Friday through Sunday I can help throughout the entire day. I ensure the dogs are safe at all times in previous clients homes I have had to take dogs on separate walks due to them not walking well together. I always make sure to play games with them as well as their walks to ensure the can get all of their energy out while I am with them, especially for drop in visits or just walks.

“Amber is so good with dogs! When I came home from work after she had walked our dog, he was tired and happy. She sent multiple pictures and updated me about his walk. I know that Artie is in great hands!”

About: I have been babysitting and pet sitting for the past 8 years. I understand dog body language very well. Once a dog opens up to me I understand their personality and routines quickly. Over the years I have taken care of many family dogs and love getting to know each one of them individually. I understand the need for a trustworthy sitter as I was very picky with my childhood dog. I deeply care for animals and see them as pure souls. I am leaving Conneticut for summer break May 20th I will be back by the start of September My current final exam schedule for May 11th Monday/Tuesday: available after 10am Wednesday: Available after 12:30pm Thursday: Available until 4:30pm Multiple Daily walks, lots of playing and cuddling, Walks to stanley park, Swimming if your dog is allowed to I have a big backyard perfect for playing fetch and I live right next to Stanley Park for long hikes. My classes end very early in the day so I will be home almost all the time. Dogs are allowed to be on all furniture. I will do everything possible to make them feel at home!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and have experience with all kinds of personalities and ages, from puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. I currently have a senior dog myself, so I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable with extra care routines. Friends and family always count on me first for pet sitting because I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like my own. I also have experience caring for cats and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I’m able to accommodate all kinds of pet care needs including walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, puppy care, and senior pets who need extra attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or a client’s home, they’ll get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day.

About: I grew up with a black Lab and now have a cat, so I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both animals! I truly love both animals. I work in office three days a week from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM and have availability both before and after work for pet care. On my two remote workdays, I have even greater flexibility to provide care, and I’m especially flexible on weekends. Dogs will always be kept on a leash unless there is a securely fenced backyard. I closely follow all owner instructions and prioritize each pet’s specific needs. I ensure indoor cats are never let outside, and I maintain their overall care and hygiene by providing fresh food and water, cleaning up as needed, and making sure they are able to go to the bathroom whenever necessary.

“He’s the best. Clay loves Uncle Steffen! He’s so great with him and he gets so excited to see him!”

“I can't recommend Samantha highly enough as a dog walker! My dog Stanley absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she comes over. Samantha has an exceptional way with animals, and her genuine love and care for them is evident in every interaction. She is reliable, professional, and always goes the extra mile to ensure Stanley has a great time on his walks. Whether it's a brisk walk or a fun play session, Stanley comes back happy and well-exercised. Samantha's dedication and enthusiasm make her the best dog walker I’ve ever had!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine care I give to each pet. I’ve cared for cats my whole life, including two of my own during my college years, and I currently care for a cat and two guinea pigs. I’ve also babysat a friend’s cat in the presence of my own kitty, which helped me gain even more experience with multi-cat dynamics and making sure both pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m very attentive to routines, pet personalities, and creating a calm environment, and I’m extremely detail-oriented when it comes to cleanliness, especially with litter boxes and small-pet enclosures. Every animal in my care is treated with the same patience, love, and understanding I give my own. Pet care is already part of my everyday routine since I take care of my own animals daily. Feeding, cleaning, grooming, and giving them attention are things I naturally do each day, so adding another pet into my schedule fits in easily and comfortably. I care for pets by following their routines as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. In my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining consistent feeding schedules, fresh water, clean litter boxes or enclosures, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s personality. I’m gentle, patient, and always respectful of their space, and I make sure to give updates so owners feel confident that their pets are well cared for.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. For over 12 years, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family care for their pets — from energetic puppies to older pets who just want company. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy getting to know every animal’s personality. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them comfortable while you’re away, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your cats. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week and on weekends. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits to match your cat’s routine and make sure they stay comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and litter box care, and I always make sure doors and windows are secure. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I’ll respect their space while still giving them attention, playtime, and care. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease

About: I grew up with pugs, and for the past 17 years I have had three foster fail pitbulls and multiple fosters that have gone on to loving homes. I have rescued three Mama pitbulls from terrible breeding situations, and their rehabilitation was a testament to my love. I have taken on personally multiple boarding dogs through friends reccomendations, and now that I have an empty nest, I am ready to share my home with your loved ones. I currently work only part time, so I will be here to spend a lot of time in the home caring for my boarding pets. My household has no fenced in yard, but I can give multiple walks per day, as I am a very active person. There are multiple adults and children in the home, so your fur babies will be getting A LOT of love. :) I live in a safe neighborhood and a safe neighborhood in Wethersfield, and will be home frequently to provide a high level of care for your beloved pet.
