House Sitting in Niantic

About: I volunteered so much the guy who ran the shelter told me I need more human friends 😅😂 I jog twice a day, once in the morning and right before sunset, and would love to bring your furry friend along with me! I don’t have my own pets so your dog will have all of my attention. Volunteering at an animal shelter for 5 years taught me so much about different breeds. The main thing I learned is that every dog is just as unique as every human. Their like kids, you need to earn their trust and when you do it’s super rewarding. Message me with ANY questions I work from home and have a super flexible schedule. So our required meet and greet can be at your earliest convenience and will only take 5-15 minutes.

“Lauren was amazing. She was very easy to contact both before and during the stay. We have never left my dog ever. She comes with us on trips. However, this was my son's wedding and everyone was staying at an air b&b where there were no dogs allowed. I did not have to worry at all. Lauren sent updates including pictures every day. I am definitely going to call Lauren in the future. I highly recommend her to be your go to sitter.”

“Anna was very communicative before and during our booking. She sent both photos and videos, which were very much appreciated. We had an issue with our house while Anna was dropping in, and she was very helpful while we were stressing out.”

About: I don’t have my own pet anymore as he passed from old age. I like to take care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation and care for them with as much love as if they were my own. I will stay at your home if needed , schedule potty break services as well. I work at an elementary school so let out before I go to work and right after, evenings and bed time. I will take care of pets in clients home with care plan that fits the pets needs. Give them plenty of attention and care to take away any worries when you are away.

“Thank you Cody for taking care of our crazy GSD and Fanny. Cody was very patient and accommodating with our needs and dog sitting in our place very last minute, we appreciate your flexibility and fun photo updates throughout the day! Highly recommend.”

“Sara was absolutely lovely! She was very comfortable with my dog immediately, asked great questions, was very thorough in her approach to caring for my dog along with providing updates while I was away. We genuinely felt at ease on our first trip away since moving to CT knowing she was caring for our dog. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone for pet care.”

“Terri is fabulous! She is professional and nurturing. Both my cat and dog warmed up to her immediately. I never worry about my pets or my home when Terri is pet sitting. I highly recommend her!”

About: We care for our furry friends as if they are our children. We’ve never met a dog we didn’t fall in love with. I started training with dogs when I was in elementary school and never stopped. I got my Doberman Rowan right after graduating college and trained him myself starting at 8 weeks old. He grew into the most intelligent and obedient dog who blew away everyone with his performance and kind and calm nature. We know how important consistency is with ongoing training and we will be sure to conform to whatever your preferences are. Our Rowan had a series of health issues including several emergency events which taught us much about not only how to handle emergencies but also how to prevent them with careful monitoring, medicine administering, and providing them what they need. Our training continued when we foster-failed with our mix Suki, a friendly, mild mannered and sweet 1.5 year old. While our Rowan only lives on in spirit, Suki will entertain, play, and cuddle with your friend like they’re her sister. With my fully remote job I’m home all day. Cloé is a PhD student with variable schedules, so between the two of us your dog will get lots of stimulation, care, and attention. Please feel free to ask any and all questions. We’re here to help! If your dog is reliable off leash we have many options to get them exercised. I often run with Suki at Bluff Point and if your dog is up for it they could easily join us. We also take our dogs to several other trails in the surrounding area to provide them with stimulation through smells, meeting other dogs, and chasing squirrels. We truly know what it means to give your dog the stimulation and care they need. Our heart would hurt too much otherwise!

“Kimberly has a beautiful energy that the dogs responded well to. I could tell from the photos she sent that they were having a fabulous time playing with her. When I got home they were safe and sound and relaxed...and even a bit tuckered out, which was perfect considering I'd had a long day!”

“My stubborn old rescue chow liked her. What more could you want.”

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was a kid, my home was my zoo. Based on this, I always had a soft spot for pets and took every chance to take care of friends and family pets. As I grew up, it became my hobby to volunteer in shelters and petsit. I currently am a mom of a Husky, a Shitzu, a cat, and a fish! I would be more than happy to be there for your pet and their needs. Bonus points: As a husky mom, I can be very active. As a cat mom, I know when to give space and let them nap! I work as a Bilingual tutor in a high school in the mornings. However, this summer I will be available 24/7 to attend to your pet's needs. When it comes to my home, I have a big backyard where your pet can have the freedom to run freely and two friendly dogs who are up to play 24/7, however, there's the option of opting for the company if your pet is not comfortable around other pets. When it comes to a client’s home, I'll ensure the safety of the pet and the house, reporting everything in detail and offering extended stay periods.

About: I have hands on experience with both energetic puppies and senior pets who need extra attention, gentle handling, and sometimes medication. I’m confident in managing different temperaments, following routines closely, and creating a calm, safe environment, genuine love will never miss. I'm currently free and taking a break during summer as I wanna be home training my pup so I this time sets perfect to make connections with other pets as well and emphasize doggie daycare and my services in rover. House with a fenced, green and shade backyard, crate in case client wants use it, different cognitive toys, and a buddy to play with will make your pet feel love as safe and sound.

“I have two cats that get very upset when I'm away, but Emma took care of them like they were her own and they were two happy boys when I got back. So grateful for the care and thought she put into our boys and our home”

“Zoe was an awesome sitter! She stayed the night at our house while my partner and I visited family out of state. We came back to very Happy dogs and a house just the way we left it. Managed a lot of instruction given we have two dogs to look after, and she handled it very well. Super friendly, would recommend!”

Nick C.

“Tessa watched our sometimes nervous dog and our cat while we were away and sent us updates and photos throughout the weekend. From the pictures we could tell our dog was completely as ease and enjoying their time together which made us feel so relaxed. Tessa did a great job, we would highly recommend her!”

Bridget C.

“Julia took excellent care of both our pup and our home! Our Frenchie has back issues and Julia was very sensitive to them, and comfortable caring for her despite them. We will definitely book with Julia again!”

Carolyn Marie Z.

“Annette was amazing as an overnight pet sitter! She took great care of our pets, provided updates and we returned to a cleaner home than we left. Highly recommend!”

I'm available daily from noon to 9 PM and always happy to discuss your pet’s routine, preferences, and quirks. I’ve earned the trust of many long-term clients and can provide excellent references.

When I care for your pets in their home, I keep to their habits and routines as much as possible. ♥️ I keep the same schedule for your pet as you do.

“Sophie was the perfect fit for Newton! She was punctual, thorough in asking about his care, and, most importantly, developed a quick bond with him. Newton has anxiety which made her even more special for me. I left the house with complete comfort and confidence that my little guy would be in gentle, caring hands. I am looking forward to having her come back again and again. Thanks, Sophie!”

“Cayton did a great job taking care of our yellow lab in our home for a week. She sent pics and texts each day and let us know how everything was going. She kept our pup safe and happy while we were away and tried to stick to our schedule. Looking forward to hiring her again!!”
