Carolina was great with my dog. He’s not a great eater but she sat with him and encouraged him to eat. Provided plenty of updates and pictures.

Eva was great. She sent multiple pictures, walked her numerous times and Ellie was more comfortable with Eva that she was asking for b(Ellie) rubs :) I'd recommend Eva to all my friends who have dogs.

Shannon was very considerate with our last minute request, which was appreciated. She did the meet and greet thoughtfully with her current pups, to give everyone the best chance of harmony. Bill came back from his stay with a wagging tail and was exhausted, both of which are a good sign. I wouldn't hesitate to use Shannon again!

Erica & Thomas (& their kids!) took such exceptional care of our puppy, Hudson. He came home healthy & happy! We were nervous to leave him for the first time, but we received daily updates on him and knew he was having so much fun. We are so relieved to have found such a loving family to spend time with him, and can’t thank them enough for helping us out. Would recommend them to anyone looking for awesome pet sitters!

About: I treat each animal as if they were my own and focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while their owner is away. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and preferences so their day feels as normal as possible. I’m very reliable and communicative. Owners receive regular updates and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pet, and I make sure you feel confident they are in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I can work with puppies who are still learning routines and basic training, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or medication. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions to make sure your pet receives the exact care they are used to. Above all, I focus on creating a calm, positive environment so pets feel happy and well cared for while you are away. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work from home. This allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular walks, feeding, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. 🐾 I provide a calm, safe environment for pets in my home and because I work from home I am able to follow each pet’s routine closely including feeding, playtime, and exercise. Pets have access to a dedicated fenced dog yard for fresh air and activity. I can crate dogs if that is part of their routine, and there is an outdoor ramp leading to the yard to make access easier and safer for senior dogs. My goal is always to help pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. 🐾

Terry was absolutely wonderful. She was warm and observant and compassionate; I suspect Milo might be missing her today. No doubt THAT is the best compliment I can give. He’s not like that with everyone. I’d work with Terry again in a heartbeat.

Laura went above and beyond to make sure our first time leaving our puppy went smoothly. From thorough communication before the booking, to updates during our vacation, it was such a relief to know that he was in good hands (and also having fun too)! If we travel again and need dog care, I will definitely be checking Laura's availability; I'm so glad I found her!

About: As someone who has taken care of animals for almost two decades, I've seen it all. From aggressive pets, to escapists, to pets with serious health problems. But even with those hardships I've managed to get through for those dogs and their owners. I've met some very amazing animals throughout my years, and everytime they can't get enough of me, I'm basically the Pet Whisper. And I'm always able to complete the checklist, feed, walk, take them to their appointments, and so on. My clients have been able to trust me, I'm a hard worker who doesn't give up, who goes above and beyond to make my clients proud and their pets happy. I'm currently employed as a Sales Associate at Ocean State. My hours vary quite a bit, but normally I work up to 3 weekdays and both weekends, sometimes only one of them. My hours can be from 7-1 to 11 or 1-7:30 Currently I have a dog and cat. My cat stays in my room while my dog is allowed in our stairway, hallway, living room, dining room and kitchen. My cat gets along with all cats, but is very finicky around other dogs, even my own. They are both separated by a gate, so there's no fear of them ever interacting as my dog loves trying to chase her if he ever gets the chance. My dog gets along with most dogs regardless of size but, he'll always be egging them on to play haha. My house isn't entirely large but it's enough for your pet to move around, play, and relax. My complex is very large and a great walking area for your pet. There's also a dog park right around the street that's a wonderful place for your dog to socialize. And, next to that park is a large trail that's perfect for walking. If your dog likes the beach, there's plenty of them in my vicinity.

So happy we found Lourdes to watch our girl Jewel! She was so happy when we picked her up and very calm! That says a lot about Lourdes' care since Jewel can be very anxious when being boarded. Will definitely be using her services moving forward!

Shannon is a truly professional dog-sitter. I feel very, very comfortable leaving our dog with her knowing that she can competently handle any situation. What’s the weather in you guys are in? We’re out of West Hartford but we have a lot of summer down here projects and stuff we come down. Should we start down this way and work our way back I don’t have anything here eventually I would like to do something with this area, but it’s as you can see a shady most of the time so like ground cover just take them down and that’s the end of that so that’s not a priority. I’ll think that true whatever can grow in moist and shade. I think it would look nice kind of dream of taking some of those folders to see. I’m putting them over there cause I thought it might look nice trying to make it like a rock garden. I think it would look nice as easy to maintain that way.

Left our labradoodle for 11 days. Shannon was very helpful, no drama, and our dog was relaxed and fine when she returned home. Also accommodated our pick up time request that was a change due to airline delays - and offered to keep the dog an extra night if need be. First time using her - no complaints at all. Good experience

We couldn’t be happier with the care Sara provided for our dog Mina during the past week. From the very beginning, Sara was attentive and kept us updated at all times, sending us regular messages and photos of Mina looking absolutely happy and relaxed. It was clear that Mina was in great hands-she looked so content in every picture! We feel incredibly lucky to have found Sara and are grateful for her dedication and kindness. Without a doubt, we will trust her again in the future. Highly recommended!
