“Kira was the perfect fit for dog and house sitting! She is very reliable. She must be a dog whisperer! My dog is usually very unsettled after I return from a trip. With Kira, it was like I never left!! I would highly recommend Kira!!!”


“Madalys was a great house-sitter for our 2 dogs for the day while we were out. Although she was a bit late - hadn't told us she would be using bus/Uber to get here - she and her 1 yr old daughter had a wonderful time playing with the dogs and keeping them engaged. She is a very sweet gal and we would use her again.”


“Great sitter! Will hire again.”


“Katherine was the best, our dogs were well taken care of for 2 weeks while we were away. We received updates every day from her. Will definitely use Katherine again when we travel. ❤️❤️❤️”


“Jillian was amazing with my pups!! She communicated through out the stay and sent pics! She left my house neat and clean. Highly recommend her!!”


“Samantha is fantastic, she has a gift. My dog is a senior, with difficulty walking and we have to pick her up to get on the sofa, the bed and the stairs, and she did everything with great care. She sent me photos and messages all the time. I will definitely hire her again when I need. to take care my dog. I highly recommend her.”


“Patricia was wonderful from the very first contact! She was willing to help us with everything, and we had a peaceful trip thanks to the way she cared for our dog, Milo. we were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Patricia is definitely a kind and lovely person, and our dog loved being around her. His anxiety was much better, and we felt much more at ease.”


“Marcella’s mom, Ivana, stayed at our home with our dog for several days and nights. She is a wonderful, warm person and I was comfortable with her immediately. She was great with CiCi (our loving-but-stubborn 70-lb hound pup) and gave her lots of exercise and attention. She kept in touch with us daily and sent photos and status reports 💜 Amazing capable dog/house-sitter, hope to work with her again!”


“Jeffrey was so great at house sitting Gwen! He arrived on time, sent text updates, played with and fed our little fur baby, and made us feel at ease! Thanks, Jeffrey, I would recommend you to anyone!”


“Kayla watched our middle-aged doggo for the weekend. She was easy to work with and communicative and the house looked great when we got back. I’d hire her again.”


About: Hi! I’m Sarah — a lifelong animal lover currently based in Fairfield County, CT. I currently work remotely, which means my schedule is super flexible — I’m available when you need me, whether it’s for daily walks, weekend stays, or last-minute drop-ins. I’ve been caring for animals my entire life — dogs, cats, horses, goats… you name it. Today, I share my home with two dogs and one very confident cat (who’s pretty sure she’s a dog too). Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds — from Border Collies, Shepards, Labs and Pit Bulls to Bulldogs, Hounds, and Chow Chows — each with their own personality, preferences, and needs. I’m comfortable supporting pets with special diets, health conditions, mobility challenges, and unique temperaments. Some highlights of my experience: • Multi-pet household care • Senior & special needs animal support • Emotional Support Animal (ESA) training experience • Familiar with natural remedies & holistic approaches • Maker of custom, all-natural dog treats • Professional pet photographer — your furry friend will get plenty of cute candids! Whether your pet needs a cozy companion while you’re away or an active buddy for long walks and playtime, I’ll show up with kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care. I treat every animal as if they’re my own — because I know how important it is to feel peace of mind when someone else is looking after your beloved companion. I’d love to meet you and your pet(s) — let’s chat and see if it’s a good fit! — Sarah 🐾 Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m home often and can easily build my day around the pets I’m caring for. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening routines, I love creating a rhythm that matches each pet’s needs. Since I already care for my own dogs and cat daily, adding extra walks, snuggles, or playtime for clients’ pets feels like second nature — and always a joy! In a client’s home, I strive to maintain the routines and environment your pet is most comfortable with — whether that means sticking to preferred walking paths, specific mealtime rituals, or favorite nap spots. I follow feeding routines, administer medication or supplements if needed, and make sure each pet receives individual attention and care. I’m mindful, clean, respectful of your space, and always leave things as I found them (if not better!).

“Jolene took such good care of our dogs! We were able to enjoy being away at a family celebration without worry because we knew the dogs were in good hands. She brushed them thoroughly -- and even vacumed up the fur! Highly recommend her.”


“Brian was amazing! Very communicative and kept up with her routine. We would absolutely work with Brian again.”


“Juliann was awesome!!! Can’t say enough good things about her and my dog adored her. Definitely recommend and will definitely be using her services again.”


About: Nice to meet you! My name is Isabella. I am a lifelong animal lover with deep experience caring for a wide range of pets. Most recently, I provided attentive, full-time care for two dogs and five cats over the course of a month in a family household whilst they were on vacation. This included feeding, walking, frequent bathroom breaks, playtime, litter box maintenance, and administering both oral and topical medications with care and precision. And of course, plenty of cuddles with furry friends. I’ve been surrounded by cats since I was in the cradle and have raised multiple kittens throughout my life, giving me a strong understanding of feline needs at every life stage. I currently care for my senior kitty, whose special needs have made me especially attentive, patient, and skilled in administering medications and monitoring health cues. I have had dogs of my own as well and have similar comfort in canine medication needs. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and most temperaments. I always follow each pet’s lead, respecting their boundaries, and reading their body language and communication to ensure they feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether large or small, energetic or shy, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with affection, respect, and a deep sense of responsibility. As I have a (human) psychology BA, I try to apply this knowledge in pet sitting. Each pet is an individual, just like people! I currently work as a paraeducator for elementary students. As a senior cat owner myself, pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s not just a job, but a commitment I’ve built my life around. With several years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I’ve developed a structured schedule that ensures every pet receives consistent, personalized attention. My day typically starts early with morning feedings and pet space maintenence, and I plan my daily activities around each pet's individual needs, whether it’s administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, longer walks, or providing enrichment and companionship. When providing in-home care, I adapt fully to each pet’s routine to keep them as comfortable and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I also build in regular text/call and photo updates for pet parents so they feel connected and reassured. Pet care isn’t something I fit in—it’s something I prioritize, and I approach it with the same dedication every day of the week. I primarily care for pets in my clients’ homes, which allows me to maintain their routines in a familiar, low-stress environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s specific needs—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise, or playtime—and I follow their routine as closely as possible to provide consistency and comfort. For dogs, that often includes daily walks, backyard or park play, and structured downtime. For cats, I focus on litter box maintenance, interactive play, and creating calm, cozy spaces. I also provide lots of affection and companionship tailored to each pet’s personality. (And if permitted, yummy treats). In every case, I treat each home with the utmost respect, keeping spaces clean and tidy, and I keep pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so they always know their pets are happy and well cared for.

“Hugo gave our Sophie lots of attention and made sure she got outside even when she didn’t want to :)”

About: I’ve been an owner of dogs my entire life and a lover of animals for just as long. I have experience with multiple dog breeds, cats, small animals, as well as farm species, such as llamas, horses, sheep, and cows. I adore all animals and just finished my second year pursuing a degree in animal science. I love meeting pets of all types and ages and getting to know their different personalities! Whether I’m taking them for a walk, dropping in for dinner and playtime, or hanging with them for a few days, I will provide careful attention to your pets’ specific needs. Your pets will always come first and I am dedicated to ensuring their comfort and your peace of mind. I am currently interning part-time at an animal care facility, but I have a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the summer on weekdays or weekends. Please reach out to chat about your specific needs and preferences! I am available to stay with your pets during the day and/or overnight, as well as just dropping in a few times a day to walk and feed. I can manage both longer walks and shorter potty breaks/time in the yard. I will be sure to get an understanding of your pets’ routines to keep them as comfortable as possible.

About: Hi! I'm Bradley, a dedicated pet care provider with over 12 years of professional experience caring for dogs, cats, and other beloved pets. I have worked at a veterinary hospital and owned a pet sitting service. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or special care needs, I treat every pet like family. My top priorities are safety, comfort, and building lasting bonds with the animals I care for. Over the years, I’ve earned the trust of countless pet owners through reliable, compassionate, and personalized service. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am stay at home dad for our son. He is in school full-time all year and I have plenty of time during the week and also weekends to fill you pet care needs. I have two friendly dogs and one cat of my own. I can provide house check-ins for love and attention or walks multiple times a day if requested.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I’ve gone around the neighborhood and across the state to take care of all dogs, HUGE or small! Each dog I walk will be always greeted with 10 minutes of pets and love (or maybe a little longer). I’m currently a per diem pharmacy technician at Danbury Hospital, my schedule can be really light some weeks, which is why i’ve been able to add dog walks on my weekly schedule! Pets will always be treated like I treat my own dog. Always a daily walk or two, plenty of love and a few treats, and I do my best to not leave them for an extended period of time. All the walks I take are for the dog, not for me. They can stop and sniff however long they want to.

“We were very fortunate to find Julie at the last minute to stay overnight with our pup. This was the first time in the two years we have had him that we found ourselves without a close friend or family member to care for him while we were away. Julie was quick to respond to our request and even made the time to stop by and meet us prior to us leaving. While we were away, she provided updates and pictures which definitely help put our minds at ease. When we arrived home it was evident that Finn was well taken care of. Not one sign of any anxious behaviors and when we arrived home he was of course happy to see us but was also very calm and relaxed which to me is a sign that he was not stressed or nervous while we were away. We will most definitely be using Julie again!!!”
