1. Erica & Thomas C.
“My husband and I booked Erica and Thomas to watch our two cats while we are away for a few days, and they were wonderful! We loved receiving updates and photos of our cats- our cats hid on the first day, but we still received a detailed update about them and their care. Erica and Thomas gave us peace of mind while we were away, and we truly felt that our cats were safe and well cared for in our absence. They were also nice enough to bring our mail inside and empty our humidifier, which we really appreciated. We will absolutely be booking Erica and Thomas to watch our cats again!”


2. Angelle S.

“Angelle kept my two cats well fed and cared for! Communication was great, and I appreciated the pics that reassured me all was well in my absence.”


3. Melissa C.

“Melissa was amazing and took excellent care of our three babies while we were gone for three weeks! We have one very shy boy who normally hides when there are new people around but he loved her visits, coming up to her for treats! That tells me all I need to know about Melissa and the love she gave them while we were gone. Thank you so much Melissa! ❤️”

15. Garret N.
About: I’ve had either a dog, a cat, or sometimes both all throughout my life, and take care of my friends dog on occasion! I love animals, and my pets have always been a huge part of my life. You can even ask my cat, Lily! I’m currently looking for full time work, however in the mean time I’m looking to make some extra money. As of now I have a lot of free time, but that could change. I will be continuing to do this on the weekends even after I find a full time position In my own home, my cat has pretty free rain to go inside and outside, though we bring her in after it gets later. In your home, it’s however you would like me to! They’re your pets, and the last thing I want to do is impose on any habits you might be building for them


16. Rebecca S.
About: I have been a dog enthusiast for as long as I can remember. In my early twenties I found myself dog sitting often, and began volunteering at the Connecticut Humane Society as a dog walker and trainer. My passion for animals and nature fuels my desire to pet sit and dog walk full time. I am a student whose primary income is in dog walking and pet sitting. This means I am committed to giving your pet the attention and care they deserve! I have a family of my own but their routine is flexible. *I am on campus Mondays and Wednesdays, on these days I am still happy to house sit, however, I will be unavailable from 8am to 7pm (unless the booking is closer to campus than home). Please take this into consideration when booking, I will also discuss this with my clients before scheduling a meet and greet! I am comfortable working in other peoples' homes. I love to spend time with animals in their natural environment, and find myself tidying when I'm there. I will often leave your home cleaner than I found it! It's in my nature to take care of the spaces I inhabit, and I do so with absolute respect. I take great care to protect the privacy of my clients while I nurture their pets and living space.


17. Emily G.

“Emily was great! We did a meet and greet before the day of the check-in to make sure Maple (our dog) could warm up and be comfortable with her. She sent us pictures of Maple during the check-in and let us know Maple was behaved on her walk. We will definitely use Emily again when the opportunity presents! Thank you so much Emily!!!”


18. Sofia D.

“Sofia was awesome! She was easy to communicate with, prompt, and sweet with my dogs. We ever had an emergency at one point, not related to her care of the dogs, and she was calm and super helpful.”


19. Taylor H.

“Taylor was excellent with moose! Did a great job”


20. Libby C.
“Anyone would be so lucky to have Libby spend time with their fur baby! Libby is the most loving, caring, and genuine person I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing and most importantly, she really cherishes her animals. Your pet will be in very good, responsible hands with Libby :)”
