When Jenna came for the meet and greet, I could tell she'd be just right for my dogs. The pictures she took and the texts she sent proved me right. I have a 50 pound Beagle-Lab mix, and a 65 pound American Pit Bull Terrier, and Jenna was relaxed and gave them lots of attention and my dogs responded in kind.

About: In the past, my Aunt had 2 dogs that I absolutely loved taking care of. I would willingly bathe them, play with them, walk them, and even pick up their poop sometimes! I also really enjoyed practicing some training techniques that I was able to help her implement. Getting to know your dog and you are my top priority-your interactions can tell me everything I need to know! I am starting my college journey at UConn as a freshman this August, and am looking for a part time job that I love, and that is flexible, so that I may continue to fund my college career! I find that caring for a pet in a familiar environment is extremely beneficial to your pets-it causes them less stress, and gives you peace of mind! It gives me the ability to keep them following their normal routines within their normal space, and still making sure that they are happy and safe.

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.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life. When I was in college, my boyfriend, now husband adopted our first cat together and he lived until he was 13. Being a male cat, he ended up needing surgery for a urinary blockage and I remember as two young broke college students, I said I would do anything to pay for it. He was like my child and he was so young and had so much life left. Thankfully, we did the surgery and he lived many more years. Since him, we’ve adopted three more cats and a dog which we currently have now. I just love animals especially cats. I am currently not working and would love to keep busy by caring for and playing with cats and dogs while my children are in school. I can feed and play with your cats or let your dog out to do their business. I can put your dog back in their crate if needed. I will be the perfect companion for your pet while you are away!

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.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs including my own. I’ve assisted in taking care of the dogs my mom dog sits for. I have been taking dogs for walks, I feed them, I change the waters and I ensure they are comfortable and taken care of when their parents aren’t around to. I only want the best for your pups and have experience with all different kinds of breeds. I’m currently working part time so my schedule is very flexible to take care of your furry friends. I am free almost every day besides Friday mornings and all day Saturday and Sunday. When I take care of your furry friend I will walk them, hang out with them as long as you’re comfortable with, change the waters, and feed them if they need to be fed.

What would we do without lovely Jocelyn to care for our pups as if they were her own? She loves animals and is always kind and warm and professional in her work. It is clear that she is a natural with animals and our dogs love her. She always sends us updates and lets us know know how it is going, one they are outside paying and when they've eaten and are down for the night and up in the morning. She is a treasure!
