About: I have 2 labs (1 lab German Shepard mix and 1 lab), who love to play and romp around, as well as the finer things in life like relaxation.My working schedule allows me to work from home full time, huge plus for the pups and kiddos. We travel about once a year for 2 weeks, and mostly spend our time in town as our boys do sports. I was a dog walker and sitter for 2 years in college, had a dog growing up as a child and I’ve rescued and adopted 5 pups with my husband. Since I'm use to the early mornings, walking the fur babies early is not a problem. I believe a tired dog is a happy dog and I try to make sure they get as much play time and attention as needed. Treating the fur babies as family members, means they have their beds, own couch, toys and free range in our house.

About: Hi there! My name is Liliana Meleshkewich and I have had experience with all kinds of pets starting from when I was really young. Currently I own a dog, cat, lizard, and snake so I don’t shy away from any kind of animal. I have dog sat in the past and have cared for many different breeds of dogs. I have always loved spending time with dogs and any other kind of animal. I also am very active and would love to go on a run or hike with your dog. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your dog and to help out when needed! Thank you so much for considering me and please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have! I’m currently working Tuesdays-Saturdays starting at 1, so morning care I have available! Mondays and Sundays are free. My schedule is flexible and I’m able to adjust when needed if discussed beforehand. I have the ability to travel to you when needed and can easily crate your dog if needed as well. I am experienced in leashing dogs as well.

About: Almost always available to pet sit and walk, please read more for details! I have personal and professional experience pet sitting for dogs of all sizes as well as cats. Through working various jobs/ internships, I am good at following strict regimens for feeding, going outside, and any other responsibilities asked of me. My love for animals started when I was little - I grew up with one St. Bernard and one Labrador Retriever, learning how to interact with animals as a child. When my older sisters would pet sit, I would come along with them to help and see the animals (as a child, I mostly just wanted to go because they were so cute!). I also love visiting shelters to interact with the pets and give them well-deserved attention. I will not be available Memorial Day weekend. I will be in the Connecticut area for a few months as I just graduated from college. I can almost always work around your pet’s schedule as long as there is notice a few days in advance! I prioritize observing an animal’s behavior with me and with its environment. I also try my best to form a connection with the animal so that taking care of it is less stressful for both parties. I would love to meet the owner and their pet prior to sitting, over call or in person, and enough in advance so that the sitter can have time to decide if another person is a better fit. If I believe caring for a specific pet is out of my expertise, then I will not accept a job as safety is my first priority.

About: I’m reliable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve been around and caring for dogs for most of my life, including my own dog Max, who I got when I was 14 and truly consider my soul dog. He passed away in July 2025 from complications related to megaesophagus, but for a year and a half before that, I helped manage his condition after we were initially told he only had 30 days to live. That experience taught me so much about patience, consistency, and providing attentive, specialized care. Because of these experiences, I’m especially comfortable with dogs who may need extra patience, have medical needs, or experience anxiety. I work full-time during the week, but I’m always available for morning and evening visits, including feeding, walks, playtime, and general care. I’m off every other weekend, as well as some Mondays and Fridays, which gives me extra flexibility for longer visits or overnight stays. I’m also happy to accommodate overnight care when needed, so your pet can stick to their normal routine and feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and will make sure your pet gets consistent care and attention. In a client’s home, I aim to keep things as consistent as possible—following feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or picking up after pets, and making sure they get plenty of attention and care. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy while you’re away. For overnight stays, I help maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable in their environment.

“Stuart had an issue getting my dog to go back in my home after her walk was over. Christmas Eve wanted to stay laying on the grass outside. Stuart immediately contacted me for assistance in getting Chrissy back in the home. She finally was coaxed to oblige with her favorite dog treat. Thank you again Stuart”

About: I've grown up in a home full of animals and have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with Shetland Sheepdogs and have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I've cared for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, so I understand that every stage of life comes with different needs. What matters most to me is getting to know each animal as an individual. Some pets are energetic and playful, while others are shy, independent, or need a little extra patience and reassurance. I take the time to understand their personalities, routines, and boundaries so they feel safe and comfortable. I'm experienced with everyday care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining familiar routines. I understand that pets are family, and I treat their care with the same attentiveness and responsibility I'd want for my own. I'm an aspiring full time artist with a flexible work schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I'm typically available daily between 11 AM and 8 PM, with some flexibility depending on my schedule. I'm happy to coordinate in advance to accommodate your pet's routine and make sure they receive consistent, attentive care! My preference is to care for pets in their own home, where they're most familiar and comfortable with their surroundings and routines. I'm happy to follow detailed instructions and take the time to learn each pet's individual needs, habits, and preferences. I believe communication is important, so I'll always ask questions if I'm unsure about something rather than make assumptions. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you're away. I'm also open to caring for pets in my own home when it's a good fit. I have a spacious, private grassy yard that my own dogs enjoy throughout the day. Please note that the yard is not fenced, so outdoor time would always be supervised and handled according to your pet's needs and safety requirements.

“Rachel is terrific. I have a difficult dog, and it takes patience, time and confidence to get him to trust a new human. Rachel took the time needed and won him over.”

Some pets need lots of activity and attention, while others need patience, gentleness, and time to warm up. I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I take that responsibility seriously. I currently work from home and also attend school online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend more quality time with pets.

I am doing pet care as a way to make school more manageable while also doing something I genuinely enjoy. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they are my own.

My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind. I am currently working full-time remotely but am looking to supplement my time with animal care. I have always loved animals and it’s important to me. I take it very seriously, I want everyone to know that I will love your animal as much as mine. I will always make sure that it is a delicate process.

“Jess was lovely with my dog. I have a German Shepherd and I’m always a bit worried with strangers. Jess came to my house to meet my dog beforehand to make sure they were a good fit which made me feel so much more at ease. Jess even sent me pictures of their walks! She was very accommodating with my instructions and I’m so grateful for her service.”

I've also been a dog sitter for 3 different families. I recently moved back to the east coast and am looking for some side work while I hunt for a full time job. I'm not sure when that will be, so I'm trying not to set my availability too far out, but am still flexible for now! Depending on what the owners are comfortable with, I would love to take the dogs out for a walk at a nearby park or walking trail. We have four cats at our house that are wary of new animals, so I am unable to pet sit at my residence. However, I am willing to spend time with your fur babies at your house or preferred location, and will follow whatever instructions necessary to ensure the comfortability of you and your pets.

About: Growing up, I had a Lab and then a Boxer and two cats. I've also helped my aunt at the doggie daycare she runs out of her home where she often has more than 10 dogs at a time. Everything from a Great Pyrenees to German Shepherds to Doodles to Yorkies. And it's always so much fun! The care I'll give your pets will really depend on them and their needs. There's a very large unfenced grass area behind my apartment building that would be perfect for walks or play. And there are multiple parks in the area too we could explore. At yours, I'd keep whatever their normal routine is. Whether that's taking walks, throwing the ball or just sitting and chilling and scratching butts. Their butts of course!
