Dog Sitting Newington

About: I have cared for dogs and cats since I was a kid and have always loved being around animals. I have two dogs and two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with pets and understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ pets over the years. I’m dependable, attentive, and will make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for and spend time with your pets. I’m available for walks and drop-ins, and I’m happy to work with your routine and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they’re used to. I have a safe and comfortable home where pets can feel relaxed and part of the family. I have two friendly dogs of my own, and I’m happy to keep pets separated when needed. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, keep a safe environment, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, supervision, and care.

About: I have worked as a dog groomer and have volunteered at shelters. Every animal should be treated with respect and kindness. Grooming and volunteering helped also in getting familiar with signs that a dog might be in distress. I work a full time job during the week but my afternoons are free. I also am always home on the weekends so doing this on the weekends would be perfect. I love all pets but sadly I am allergic to most cats. Dogs on the other hand can roam around my residence freely. Which includes beds, as long as they are comfortable and safe I can accommodate to any breed.

“Karen was great and offered a play date instead of the drop in I requested so I had the added comfort of knowing Winnie was also having a fun day and in good hands while I was away. She was so tired when she got home she must have had a great time! Thanks again!”

About: I have always had a love for animals especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own, one is 8 years old and the other is less than a year old. I have been taking care of my friends and families pets since I was 10. I am a student a the George Washington University in Washington D.C. and have been walking dogs regularly! I am looking for walks in between my classes and on the weekends! I’m very flexible with timing and can usually adjust my schedule to fit what works best! At my home both my dogs are create trained so I have a lot of experience with that. I also have experience with administrating meditation.

“Xi was a very loving and gentle cat sitter for my 2 kitties during a recent extended trip. She managed insulin injections for my youngest sweetheart! Always a good communicator and very respectful! I would not hesitate to call for Xi again!”

“Wendy was wonderful in taking care of our cat while we were gone for Christmas. She sent multiple pictures each day, stayed with Maggie longer than the minimum time to comfort and support her, and properly fed and watered her. I would hire Wendy again in a heartbeat and plan to do so when we go back to NY in May. This woman is one of the really professional and competent sitters out there. Thank you, Wendy.”

About: I have grown up with my dogs my entire life. I have housesat and taken care of many family member and friends pets. I will make sure they are cared for and treated like my own dog. I currently have space throughout my week to accommodate you and your pets needs. I am a huge pet lover and would love to fill my extra time with helping you. I have a big back yard and large deck for either playing and lounging outside. Outside is not fenced but I have a big rope lead that I can use to still get your pet exercise and fresh air.

About: I grew up with a lot of animals. I’ve also worked on a ranch when I was in my mid teens. I currently have one cat. Her name is Daisy. I’ve had her since 2012. I got her when she was a kitten. I’ve always enjoyed walking dogs! I have a full time time mon-Fri but I’d like to do it part time. I’d like to do part time. I’m available weekends or after 3:30pm on weekdays. My current full time job schedule is Mon-Fri 7am-3:30pm. Around those hours would be best. My cat Daisy is an indoor cat. She doesn’t ever go out because I live on a busy road. She used to be an indoor/outdoor cat until I moved a year ago. We had a little back yard that she could roam around in. She was trained to stay right around the area. I’ve never done professional work before but I’m really good with animals!

“Madison was amazing!! We had a pre visit to go over Cali’s routine. It was a great meet and greet!! During the visits I got pictures, videos, and updates. Cali was well taken care of. I highly recommend Madison. She was a sweetheart!!”

“After meeting with Gwen we felt they were a good fit, and we scheduled nightly check ins/ feedings for our cats for the 10 days we would be visiting family. Gwen has such a pleasant demeanor and always talks to our cats just like we would! We made it clear that our priority is the cats getting love and attention and they consistently played with and loved on our cats. They are great at following instructions and not only made sure our cats were loved and fed but also took care of our many plants, and even tackled the weekly deep clean of our giant litter box! Our cats always seem happy to see Gwen and we got detailed updates and excellent communication throughout our trip. When we had to extend our trip for a couple days, they went above and beyond and accommodated to be able to continue the check-ins for those days. Gwen is a friendly, responsible, attentive person and is a fabulous sitter! We highly recommend their services!”

“Aaron is awesome! He put up with my blabbering about my dogs during our meet and greet, and was very polite and kind. He didn’t mind my dogs’ high energy and excitement. He took very cute pictures of them while he was looking after them, and he kept me updated on how they were doing. He’s an absolute delight; I can’t recommend him enough!”

About: Hi, I’m Ally! Animals have always been at the heart of my life—my cat is my best friend, but I truly love and care for every creature I meet. I’ve been caring for pets since childhood, from cats and dogs to small animals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. My passion for animals led me to pursue formal training in their care. I began taking animal care classes in high school, earned my Associate’s degree in Animal Sciences from Jackson State Community College, and went on to graduate from The University of Tennessee at Martin with a Bachelor’s in Veterinary Technology. I have hands-on experience from two years of volunteering at the Jackson Animal Care Center and have been working in veterinary clinics since 2022. I’m currently a certified veterinary technician at LoveWell Veterinary Services, where I work with a wide variety of animals every day. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve been a trusted caregiver for friends’ and family’s pets for years. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health, and providing loving companionship to pets with all kinds of needs. At home, I share my life with a friendly cat and a yorkie who both enjoy meeting new animal friends. I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to have more time for your pets! I am off every other Monday and only work half days on Tuesday and Thursday so even if it says I’m unavailable shoot me a message! As your pet sitter, I will care for your pets as if they were my own—providing them with love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’ll follow their routine closely, make sure they’re fed and exercised on schedule, and keep them happy with playtime and affection.

“Jaime was an absolute pleasure. Our pup was very comfortable with her and she did everything perfectly. Her updates and photos were always reassuring that he was in great hands.”
