Dog Sitting in Newtown

“Tierna did a great job. Animals looked happy in all the photos and when I returned home. She went beyond what I expected of a sitter. Highly recommended.”

About: I am a rescuer. Animals are my passion and life’s work. I am used to all type of dogs in various settings. I listen to their cues and understand their wants and needs. I am only gone around 4 hours a day for work. So that’s the max amount of time your pet will be left alone at one time I have a room dedicated to cats in my home. They have lots of toys and tunnels and cat trees to play with. I also have extensive experience with dogs of all types as I run a rescue

About: I have been around dogs my entire life! Even had the opportunity to nurse puppies as little as 2 weeks old. I'm patient and nurturing when it comes to dogs that just need a bit more attention. I will also adhere to the requests of each owner. Our dogs are considered family and should be treated with kindness and respect. To each pet owner I will treat your dog like it's my own. I will be able to cater to the needs of your dog as well as inform you in a timely manner of each visit how everything went. I understand how frustrating it is to leave your dog home for long period of time. However, you won't need to worry they are in good hands! I am off from my full time 3 days a week. Therefore, I’m open to dropping in when needed during the day or evening. Sunday- Tuesday. As someone who has cared for different breeds from dachshunds, pit bulls, and even Dobermans. I have learned so much regarding dog behaviors, temperaments, and how to respond to each dogs unique needs.

“I am new to Rover and I am very happy with the sitter I chose. She came for a meet and greet prior to her first visit today. I will certainly use her again.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals. I’m a pet owner with two dogs, two cats, and a bird, and I’ve also pet-sat and run a dog walking business growing up. I’m reliable, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets, always making sure they feel safe and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine. I take early classes and work a part-time job two days a week, which gives me plenty of availability during the day and evenings. I’m used to planning my schedule around pets, making sure they get consistent walks, feedings, playtime, and attention throughout the week. For dog walking, I focus on keeping dogs safe, active, and comfortable. I follow each client’s instructions closely, including leash preferences, walking routes, and any special needs. I make sure dogs get proper exercise, water breaks, and positive attention during walks. In a client’s home, I respect their space, secure doors and gates, and ensure pets are settled safely before and after each walk. My goal is always a safe, enjoyable walk that fits each dog’s energy level and routine.

About: I bring hands-on experience and a lot of love to every dog I care for. I worked as a dog groomer, which taught me patience, how to read body language, and how to make dogs of all sizes and personalities feel safe and comfortable. I’m especially gentle with senior dogs, and happy to give extra care when needed. With a flexible schedule for walks and potty breaks, I treat every pup like part of my family—making sure they’re happy, relaxed, and loved. Caring for dogs is part of my everyday routine! I make sure each pup gets walks, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I’m flexible and happy to adjust to your dog’s needs so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable in a clean, secure environment. I supervise them at all times, stick to their routines, and give plenty of love, attention, and care so they feel safe and relaxed.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was very young. I’ve had my own dog since I was 5, and dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs, and I always treat them like my own. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, attention, and gentle care they may need. Dogs tend to feel comfortable around me quickly, and I love learning about their behavior and what helps them feel happy and safe. I’d love to care for your fur baby and make sure they get plenty of love, comfort, and snuggles. I’m a full-time student with a fairly flexible schedule. I’m available all day on Wednesdays and generally available on weekends. On Mondays and Thursdays I’m unavailable between 8am–3pm, and on Tuesdays and Fridays between 8am–5pm. I also work part-time in retail, mostly on weekends, but I always communicate availability clearly and plan pet care responsibly. I care for pets by giving them plenty of attention, structure, and love while respecting their routines and needs. I prioritize regular walks, proper feeding, and monitoring health and behavior, especially for older pets. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I always follow instructions closely to ensure their well-being.

“Kara was excellent and truly put our minds at ease during our trip. She was very communicative throughout the whole process and was prompt and took amazing care of our babies. Highly recommend working with her and would absolutely book again in the future!”

“Amy is so sweet and so good with our dog Louie! She was communicative from the start and each day she updated us with how the visit went and a cute picture of him on their walk. Thank you Amy! Louie can't wait to have you back!”

“I was able to travel soundly knowing that my Loki was in good hands. She was super sweet when I asked her to continue caring for Loki after I missed my flight. Definitely would recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for my own dogs as well as pets of family and friends since a young age, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My dog is friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys playing with other pets. With your permission, I’m also happy to provide high-quality photos during each visit, so you can see your pet happy and content. I currently work full-time in a hybrid position, which means I’m home about 3 out of 5 weekdays. I’m also available most weekends and enjoy spending time outdoors. During the warmer months, I often take my dog to the dog park for play and exercise. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship, whether we're relaxing at home or enjoying time outside. I do my best to ensure each pet feels safe, happy, and part of the family during their stay. I have an open, unfenced yard, so for safety, all pets will be leashed while outside. We also have a spacious deck where your pet can relax and enjoy the summer breeze. Inside the home, your pet will be free to roam and play under supervision. My own dog is friendly and happy to provide companionship if your pet enjoys socializing. I have a medium-sized crate available if needed, and plenty of toys to keep your pet engaged. Fresh water will always be available, and your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities.

About: I have several years of experience with all types of animals. I have spent a lot of timing researching and helping animals who need it, and I have even taken classes on animal care and behavior. I love animals and they always have, and will be, a big part of my life. My schedule does vary, but it is flexible. Monday evenings, tuesdays, Friday evenings, Saturday, and Sunday especially, I am generally available. I will always try to fit your pets in! Although I can not offer boarding, your pets safety and happiness is of the upmost importance. I will work based off of what your pet is expressing to me and what you tell me, combined with my own experience to keep everybody safe and happy!

“Caroline is an excellent pet sitter! She’s reliable, kind, and sends lots of pictures/videos. It’s so nice to have piece of mind that my babies are taken care of while I’m away ❤️”

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life and have owned dogs such as: Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, as well as mixed breeds. I am truly a dog lover at heart. I understand that pets are part of the family and they will be treated as a part of ours during their stay. I am a homeschooling mom and other than drop-off/pick-up at classes and the occasional errands, I am always around. My husband also works from home. Your pet will rarely be alone! Although my yard is not fenced in, it is surrounded by woods. I do prefer to keep dogs on a leash outside at all times. I have two kids who will give your dog lots of attention and love, as well as family members nearby who always stop in to meet any furry visitors we have!

I have had experience since my childhood I will be more active in my life physically walking them and taking care of them. It’s a perfect job cute animals and taking care of them for money.

I am available for ongoing long-term set schedules as well as flexible schedules for pet sitting. My schedule allows me to check in morning, midday, and/or late afternoons/evenings. I do not presently render services at my home, but I do not mind crating your dog at your home and enjoying many walks and hikes nearby.

About: I've done house/petsisting in the past & thought I'd get back into it. I can either come to your house (for dogs) or take your cat at my apartment. I currently work full time M-F 8-5. I can do after work or on the weekends. I live in Bethel...so local would be nice to have. I cannot care for dogs at my apartment. I can go to your house or I can take cats.

About: Rachael started her journey with dogs in 2006 with her Border Collie Emme, since then she has spent her entire life learning about dog behavior and care. In the past 19 years she has traveled across the East Coast learning from as many dog experts as she could while training and competing with her own dogs. More than anything Rachael enjoys sharing her time with canine companions and she typically spends her days out exploring new hiking trails or throwing a ball for her furry guests. Rachael attended UMass Amherst and graduated in 2020 with a degree in Pre-Veterinary Sciences. While there she studied all kinds of animals and researched best practices for caring for domestic pets. While attending college Rachael worked at her local humane society in the kennel to help abandoned pets find their forever homes. After graduating she went on to work as a home based dog trainer under expert tutelage. Rachael lives on a 16 acre horse farm with her own two pups, Huzzah and Aven. The farm boasts many fenced in paddocks that boarding dogs are able to explore and enjoy. Visiting pets often go for walks in neighboring towns to ensure their enrichment and exercise goals are exceeded. If you think your pet would enjoy a rural vacation please reach out for availability! Free pick up and drop off is offered to pet parents within a 30 minute radius of Terrywile Park! My full time job is taking care of your pet! While here each dog will go on walks, explore fenced in paddocks, and enjoy playing with other pups if they are dog friendly. Safety is my number one priority! I have a fenced in potty area for quick bathroom breaks and the farm offers many fenced in areas where dogs are able to run freely. Overnight, when I'm not home, or when traveling in a car dogs are crated in secure dog crates.

About: I’ve had 2-3 dogs in my house since I was in middle school. Since high school, I began dog, cat, and baby sitting for my neighbor on a regular basis and even continued while on breaks from college and after graduation. For the past 5 years, I was the primary dog, cat, and house sitter for a lovely family. My senior year of college I fostered a dog, which my family and I then went on to adopt. I have experience with dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and ages. After helping a variety of dogs & cats in NYC, I have relocated to Connecticut, and I’m looking to help out any people and pets in my area! I currently work a hybrid schedule and am onsite on Tues-Thurs. My work allows me to take calls on walks and have the ability to take animals out for walks as needed! We currently live in a condo with easy outdoor access. I do not have any pets. I am comfortable with crate training, but my home is also flexible to let your pet(s) roam if that is preferred!
