Pet Sitting in Niantic

“I cannot say enough how wonderful it was having Terri take care of our cats! We got great pics every day showing just how happy they were with her drop-ins. One of our cats is very standoffish and gets topical medication daily. We would have considered it a victory if she got him even every couple of days. Terri made him feel so comfortable that she was able to give it to him every single day! We would trust Terri with them absolutely anytime.”

About: I have taken care of just about any animal you can think of. I was a veterinary assistant for 4 years. I am 25 years old and currently finishing my bachelor’s degree online at SIUE. I am a teaching assistant for the local school district now! However, I really miss seeing pets all the time so I would love to pet sit for you! I have my own fur babies but I love to meet new pets and build connections with them as well as their owners! I am currently working part time as a nanny and looking to add more pet sitting clients to my workload! I am in college and trying to save money for my future and pet sitting is a very flexible way for me to do that, plus I enjoy it so much! I always love to spend quality time with the animals I am caring for, it helps them to become more comfortable and makes it more enjoyable for me as well! I like to learn the little things that each pet I take care of likes most and use that to bring them comfort and joy while I am caring for them!

About: I grew up with pets and truly understand their needs. I'm loving, hands-on, and always manage my time well to ensure every pet gets the attention they deserve. I'm currently working as teacher full time starting in August. I will be available on weekdays after 4pm. My availability will be open on weekends! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I’d give my own. I’ll follow your routine closely, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or cuddles—your pet will be in good hands. I’ll keep litter boxes or outdoor areas clean, give your pet plenty of attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and safe while you're away.

About: I have cared for pets of my own and friends for over 25 years. I look forward to assisting you with your pet needs while you are away! I am currently working a flexible job that allows me to satisfy almost any schedule needs for your furry family member. I am excited for the opportunity to serve. I am very detail oriented, I am able to follow your instructions well, or if you just want to provide a simple list of feeding times and amounts, I can make up the rest as we go. I love to walk and play with your pet.

“My dog's really love Emma! She is very patient and takes great care of them. Thanks Emma!”

About: I’ve been around dogs from the moment I was born. I am genuine with dogs and I have the experience of dog sitting and knowing what comes with it. I’m not afraid of poop, pee, or vomit. I know how to handle emergencies and follow owner’s instructions and routines closely. I’m available early mornings. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have more than enough time to play with your pets! I get off at 3:45 every weekday. I have more flexibility on every second/third Wednesday. I am also a Senior in college, studying to get my bachelor’s degree but I am taking my courses online so scheduling would not be a problem. Every dog I ever has become an inside dog. I think of dogs as my children so they’re more than welcome to be on couches and be inside. I also am able to keep dogs outside if thats what the owner prefers.

About: I have experienced taking care of senior dogs especially with vision issues. I can give oral medication. I used to worked at a doggie daycare. I’m currently working at the Devon part time. In the summer I’m available most days between 10 am to 3 pm. On the days I’m not working at the Devon I’m available from 10 am to 7 pm. I have a fenced in yard at my house. At clients house if no fenced yard I can take them for a walk or play with them inside to help get their energy out.

About: I have 5 dogs in my household that I have trained and taken care of when my family goes out of town for soccer, I am more than happy to cater to your babies as well! I am currently working part time at a trampoline park, so recently business has been slow. Many people are asking for more hours, but there is so much the business can do. I am no opening my options up to pet sitting, because I love animals and I am glad to see families that love there pets as well! I let dogs/puppies out every 2 hours. My personal dogs eat twice a day, but depending on how the clients feeding schedule I can feed as wanted. Water is always available to them. They will get play time with there potty breaks as well.

About: I have a lot of pet care experience from pet sitting, drop-ins, caring for medical disabled dog, pet walking. I am ready to love your pet like it’s my own and let you relax knowing your baby is in the best hands! I love to send pic updates of your pet and I playing and having fun! I have watched family members pets, neighbors pets and people I just met through referral. I am also happy to bathe your pet if requested. I had a 165lb Rottweiler, so now it seems like I can do anything! :) I work remotely and can take my work anywhere! Need me at your house during the day? I can do that as long as you can share your Wi-Fi with me! :) I have plenty of time to look after your pet and I am so excited to meet them! I am able to crate your dog safely if needed and request by you. I also will ensure when we go on walks that your pet is away from other pets to avoid any form of conflict.

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. Rescuing chickens, rabbits, cats, horses - you name it! In my adult life, I took some time away from pets while obtaining my Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. The first thing I did after relocating to Decatur, IL for my job, was adopt an unwanted adult shelter cat that resided at Animal Control for months, Spider. He is still with me - 11 years later. I have learned the reasons why Spider was surrendered. It inspired me to get involved with animal rescue in the community. I have adopted and fostered puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats. I have probably dealt with nearly every type of cat or most cat disabilities at this point - and if not, am extremely willing and able to learn. My feline resume includes sight and hearing impaired, sick, diabetes, incontinence, behavioral issues, MORE... I am a huge believer of positive reinforcement training for dogs. If you follow dominance training or negative reprimanding, we will not get along. I have taken two doggos through AKC CGC certification awards and other courses. My personal dog, Timber, suffers from several health issues including hypertension - which caused enucleation of both eyes; chronic rhinitis; and gingival hyperplasia. I am very used to paying attention to the subtle signs of dogs when medical issues arise. Currently, i am working from home, but transitioning back to in-person office work soon. When I return back to work, my schedule does offer a lunch break and reasonable flexibility. Interestingly, all of my puppy fostering has been pre-COVID/work-from-home! My home offers a fenced-in yard. We always walk pets on-leash. In side the home, we have options for crating and our home has several doors to close off rooms to create separate safe spaces, if needed. We also have several baby gates. Crating is very useful for at least feeding times. Our resident dog, Timber, eats in his crate, and he is trained to go there if he gets stressed - even though he is blind. I can often watch cats here in a spare room. Although, I do think cats are happiest at their homes with daily visits, if an option. In a client home, I would like to try to stick the schedule the pets are used to. Arranging a visit to understand the home layout, where things are kept, and meeting the pets are very important to me. I am happy to arrange multiple visits or stay at the house, depending on the needs of the clients and pet(s).

About: I love dogs. I have my dog for 13 polmeraniam. I grew up with my two dogs and cats. The neighbor dog always love me and come running to me to pet them. I work full time! Since working from home now more flexible hours to watch the animals! This might change soon though if does will let you know! I have 2 bedroom one bedroom house. Fenced in backyard for dogs to play in go potty in! My dog has a bowel and water let him eat and drink when he wants too! I can do however u like on feeding exc!

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I rescued my pit mix, Hattie 6 years ago. I also just added Ollie (6 month red heeler mix) to my family from PCH. He started as a foster but grew on us! I still open my house to other fosters, I currently have a 2 month catahoola mix pup until he finds his forever home. I work at Rivian. I am able to stop by early in the morning or in the evenings for walks and feedings. My weekends are opens. I have a fenced in yard. My dogs typically just go out there. My pit mix is a puller so we do not go on many walks but the pup loves walks.

“Allie was great! She was great with my puppy and a genuine human being. I will definitely request a visit again.”

“Heather did an amazing job taking care of my two kitties. It was such a relief to know they were being looked after by such a caring pet sitter. The photo updates were the highlight of my day. 5 stars!”

About: I’ve had pets in the home my entire life; cats, dogs, fish, hamsters and Guinea pigs. I have been the proud owner of a pit bull, pit bull mix, boxer, lab and a St Bernard. I currently have a German Shepherd, Zeus, that is my whole heart. My son and I with help of tons of videos and research have taught our boy 20+ commands/words. I run/walk/hike with him 3-4 times a week in snow/rain/cold/humidity. We actively play and train daily. I put every effort into giving my fur babies the best life possible. I mean, we chose them, they didn’t choose us. I have owned short and long haired cats. I am familiar with the daily grooming for long haired felines. I currently am a cat mom also to a short and long haired. I am very familiar with kitten and puppy care as well. I have a full time job Monday through Friday. I am available week days after 3:30 and all day on Saturday, Sunday and major holidays. I will follow the instructions given to me for drop ins. I certainly wouldn’t put your pet in harms way playing indoors/outdoors or on a walk.
