House Sitting in Norfolk

“Katie was absolutely lovely, and the pets got on with her really well. She sent through updates and photos, and made sure we felt comfortable (all on a holiday, too!) -- thank you Katie!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over three years. I’ve had various experiences with dogs and cats. As someone who has a dog of their own, I’ve been able to observe behaviors that’s helped when taking care of other dogs, to understand their needs and wants. I currently work remotely however, it doesn’t take time away when it comes to the fur babies! In fact, it allows me to be present and give them the much needed attention. I understand the environment the pets are settled in. I give daily updates to the home owner, making sure that any anxiety of leaving their pets behind is relieved. I bring my own food and care.

“Jared stayed over night with our dog Moose. He was very communicative, sent constant picture updates and was also very flexible on timing. He made sure Moose was well taken care of. We will definitely use Jared for any future needs for Moose.”

“Stacey was wonderful! She was so easy to communicate with ahead of watching our dog and was also super self sufficient around our house. There was a bad storm when she was scheduled to watch our dog and we live in a pretty remote area and she had zero complaints. She was fantastic all around!”

About: I love all kinds of nature and wildlife, but especially dogs, cats, and reptiles! I have experience handling many kinds of animals through my biology research, and I also trained my own puppy! I'm in the northwest corner of CT for the summer before I move out west to start my PhD in biology (did I mention I love animals?). I'd love to meet your pets while I'm around! I’m currently working part-time and have lots of flexibility to stop by for walks, especially during weekdays. My schedule is very easy to work around. I love being outside and would be happy to take your dog on walks or hikes in the area. I’m also happy to stop by and play with your pets or just give them some love!

“Sydney was completely wonderful! Our dogs loved their time with her. She took Louie on a hike and on several walks in a nearby woods. She sent us photos of them , both on walks and when hanging out together. It was clear that she had done everything that we had asked- and much more.”

“Kelly was organized and attentive to every detail about our three dogs with wide ranging needs. She visited in advance, took copious notes and followed up on everything to double check. We will use her again and are very appreciative of her services.”

“Jesse is THE BEST. After requesting the booking, he came out to meet us and our two boys, taking his own personal time to make sure it was a good fit. During his stay, he kept us informed with pictures and notes on the pups. He left our house just as he found it and, most important, we came home to 2 happy, sleepy dogs, tired after a vacation of their own! Jesse is reliable and incredibly knowledgeable and hardworking. Can’t wait to have him back!”

About: Hi y'all! I am an all around animal lover. My girls and I take any dogs that we are watching on walks with us every night, we have lots of fun. Pets are allowed on the furniture, unless you state explicitly state you don't want them to be. I prefer not to kennel overnight, but there are always exceptions to the rule! I am able to help with puppies and older pups alike; age is not an issue. Please ask any questions you may have for me, thank you so much we can’t wait to meet you! I am currently working part time but I am always available for nightly drop ins or for any early morning stops on my way in. I am always respectful of your safety protocols, gates are always double and triple checked, doors are always checked to be shut correctly. Food and water levels are consistently monitored. Instructions are always followed to the letter.

“Carol did an amazing job with my dog Dobby who is anxious and has issues with meeting new people and reactivity. Carol clearly has a lot of knowledge about anxious and reactive dogs and lots of good strategies for handling them. Dobby warmed up to her quickly and seemed quite comfortable with her after only a short time. Carol gave frequent updates with photos. She was also a great house guest and left everything very clean. We definitely hope to be able to have Carol sit Dobby again in the future!”

“Katherine did a great job with our Toby! He's a little shy around other people but he warmed up to her fast! We will definitely be asking her to watch Toby again!!”

About: Hello! I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover with experience with everything from chickens and horses to cats and dogs. I have two canine family members myself: a medium-sized mix named Bonnie and a 10-pound Italian Greyhound/chihuahua named Rio. I know how hard it can be to find loving, reliable, and safe pet setters, which prompted me to open up my own home. My dogs love meeting new friends to play with. They get along well with others (though we always require a meet-and-greet before a sit) and are friendly with cats as well. My work-from-home career and spacious property allows me the flexibility to fully care for your pet without any interruptions such as commutes or 9-5 work hours. I am fortunate to enjoy a fully remote, flexible career, which means I am always present for your canine or feline family members. I can accommodate short or long-term stays, and am home throughout the day to maintain your pet's schedule, so they feel completely at home. I think it's important to a pet's sense of wellbeing to be able to keep to their usual schedule as best as possible while in my care. I live on five acres in a log home in a beautiful hilltown in Western Massachusetts, and have a fully fenced yard. I love taking my own pup on daily walks on our property or on nearby dirt roads, so if you have an active dog who needs exercise, I'm your person! If a less active lifestyle is better for your dog, I can fully accommodate that as well. Pets are allowed on my furniture and can make themselves cozy by my wood stove in winter or on my sunny deck in summer. I am familiar with using crates (if desired, but not required) and have a large finished basement perfect for playtime in the winter months.

About: I've had my pets in my life but i've also looked after many pets. Sometimes I have had to look after more than one dog at a time and different ages and breeds. There has been times i have had to sleep over night with pets. I always feel a connection or a bond between animals as I believe they know our true intentions. m-f I Work at my main job which is at Webster Bank usually until 4 PM, But have off on holidays and weekends. Some nights I work late but I usually have a month ahead of what my schedule looks like. I treat anyone else's property as if it were my own or better than my own. I treat pets delicately and I like to find out what they are into, how they have fun, what treats they like etc. I am a very straight forward person and I am great communicating with. I work in my local surrounding towns and looking how I can serve.

“Thank you again Christine for taking such amazing care of our extended fur family. We are so grateful to you and appreciate your kindness and flexibility.”

“Clara is wonderful! Followed all of my dog care instructions, kept the house tidy and, above all, provided excellent company and love to my doggies in my absence! She would regularly share photos and video footage of how they were getting on as well which is always a plus. Would recommend her to anyone who wants top quality dog-sitting.”

“This was our second time trusting Angela with our Shelby and she was amazing. Her daily updates were to comforting and it was clear she totally "gets" Shelby and genuinely cares about her. She was able to stay at the house and not leave Shelby alone for long periods of time which is exactly what Shelby needed. When we got back, she had gone above and beyond and stripped the bed and washed a blanket. Finally, and most importantly, she's just a delight. Her upbeat manner is a joy and added to the fun of getting daily updates. We will definitely hire Angela again.”

About: When I was 10 I joined a dog training program through my school, that’s where my training experience began. I provide a premium, low-volume dog care experience for owners who want their dog to have more one-on-one attention in a calm home environment. Your dog won’t be just one of many in a crowded space. I keep my care more personal so each dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time. I have a big yard for dogs to enjoy, but my indoor space is smaller, so I am very intentional about keeping the number of dogs low. That means I can focus on your dog’s comfort, safety, and overall experience much more closely. This is a great fit for dogs who do better with a quieter setting and for owners who value quality of care over high-volume boarding or daycare. I generally only take one to a few dogs at a time unless they are from the same household. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs. I took care of my childhood dog for 17 years of her long, beautiful life. I have experience working with small senior dogs specifically and I know all the little things that they appreciate. I also have experience with large dogs and can handle very big strong dogs. I also love hiking with dogs so if you have an energetic dog you need to burn off energy I am your guy. I have an acre yard with a fenced in front yard in a nice area. Any dog that boards with me would be treated like my own dog and let out very frequently to go to the bathroom and play outside. I would always remain home with your dog. Thank you for considering me and I hope to meet your pet soon! I’m currently a fully remote student so I am fully available. If I board a pet I will be with them full time to make sure they receive the care they deserve. I have a fenced in front yard, and a good amount of unfenced land in the back. My dog is very friendly and would keep your pet great company. He loves dogs and cats. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but would love to give your dog the pet experience and treat them like my own. I live in a nice are and have great access to the woods nearby as well.

“Kaleigh did an excellent job taking care of my fur babies! She gave me daily updates and kept in contact with me throughout my entire trip. Highly recommend kaleigh to anyone looking for an in-home dog sitter!”

About: Please note: Pricing can be flexible depending on the situation, length of stay, and number of pets. I’m always happy to talk through the details! I’ve been pet sitting for over 15 years and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m one of those people who naturally gravitates toward dogs wherever I go. I also have six dogs of my own (including large breeds), so managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels is something I’m very comfortable with. These days I focus on in-home pet sitting, because most pets are happiest staying in their own space and keeping their normal routine. I know how hard it can be to leave your animals when you travel, so my goal is always to make it feel like they’re just hanging out with a friend who loves dogs as much as you do. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages — from energetic young pups to seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed instructions to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I’m very attentive and tend to get pretty attached to the animals I care for. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and getting lots of attention while you’re gone. If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pets, I’d love to connect. Pet care is part of our everyday life! My wife and I both work remotely about 90% of the week, which gives us plenty of time and flexibility to care for our own six dogs — and any visiting pets, too. Our days naturally revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles, so incorporating other pets into that rhythm fits right in. In our home, pets are treated like family. We have a spacious, safe property with fenced areas for play and exercise, and we keep routines consistent with what each pet is used to, including feeding schedules, walks, and downtime. Since my wife and I both work from home most of the week, someone is almost always here to give attention and care. For client homes, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible - from meals and walks to playtime and cuddles - to keep them comfortable and stress-free in their own environment.
