“Jillian kept us in the loop each day that she was there. Followed our instructions thoroughly, and even included pictures and update notes. She was also kind enough to drop by to grab the keys. We came back to happy cat!”



“Reliable, friendly, good communication. Gave us peace of mind to go away and have our blind, diabetic dog in great hands! Will definitely re-book & recommend to all :)”


“Lizeth was fantastic! My cat is very shy with strangers but she opened up to Liz. Liz provided plenty of pictures and gave me a detailed summary of their time together. She gave me peace of mind while I was gone and I would definitely book her again.”


“Ashley did an amazing job with Brodi. He is a fearful little dog and she was just so patient with him and he really took to her so much better than I anticipated. I really appreciate the time she took with him patient she was with him. Ashley is a very personable upbeat person and it was a joy having her visit us!”

About: Hi there! I’m a passionate pet lover and proud dog parent to an energetic and loving husky who has been keeping me on my toes for the past two years. Through daily adventures and lots of hands-on experience, I’ve become well-versed in basic command training, leash etiquette, and, of course, the less glamorous but essential task of cleaning up after pets. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’m committed to providing the same level of care, attention, and love to your furry family member as I do for my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet is in good hands with me! I recently graduated PA school and I am free for the majority of the summer and most days of the week before I begin my job as a medical provider. I can easily drive to your home to walk your pet or drop by for visits to make sure they’re safe and taken care of while you’re gone! I also live in an apartment complex with a dog park.

“Jami did so great with our slightly anxious boy. She was very punctual and provided great updates. We were super comfortable leaving him in her hands and looking forward to doing so again.”



About: Lifelong animal lover with 7+ years caring for my own 2 dogs, along trusted experience with friends and family’s pets. I make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of availability throughout the week. I love morning walks because they get me up to start my day while also being active. As well as mid-day and evening walks allow me to take a break from any tasks and get outside in the sun while having some fun! Whether I’m visiting your home or walking your pup, my goal is to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable. For walks, I make they get plenty of fresh air, exercise, a potty break, and time to sniff and explore while keeping a close eye. During home visits, I’ll refresh their water, feed them, give potty breaks and spend quality time. I’ll also follow any instructions you leave for me and always treat your home with respect.

“Jenny dropped in to look after our cat over Xmas, she was sweet and sent me photo updates. Our cat looked calm and content when we got back :) Thank you Jenny for taking care of Miu Miu”


About: I have been an owner of my dog, Scout for 13 years. Over those 13 years, I have learned how to care for animals. I have volunteered for the humane society for the past 5 years as well! I am currently working during the mornings of each weekend so I am pretty flexible during the weekdays. I can care for your pet during any hour of the day during the week! I feed, walk, and shower my dog with attention each day. I will treat your pet the same way mine would want to be treated.

About: We’ve owned many dogs growing and are super excited for the opportunity to be around animals while living in a new state. We've house sat for neighbors, friends and family for a number of years so please take a look at our testimonials. We both have very flexible schedules this summer! Matthew is a grad student and Mary Beth works from home in finance, so we're both available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. We love walking and biking around the West End of Hartford, but we do have cars for extra flexibility. Your pet's safety and comfort are our top priorities. When house sitting, we follow your routine closely to keep things familiar and stress-free for your pet. We’re respectful of your home and aim to leave it just as we found it—if not better. For dog walking, we use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and always keep a close eye on your dog’s comfort and energy level. During doggy daycare, your pet will have a calm, supervised environment with lots of attention, play, and breaks as needed. We're happy to accommodate special needs, medications, or quirks—just let us know!

About: — First time booking with me? Use this code for $20 off your first appointment! LEANDW09173 — Being raised with dogs, cats, and other various kinds of animals since I was 6 years old, I’m not a stranger to small (or even big!) feet following me around the house. From love and snuggles after a long day, to laughing at zoomie episodes, my family has built our lives around our animals. And I would love to add your pet into my happy story. Rest assured, you can leave your fur-baby with me for peace of mind, and can expect them to be loved, cared for, snuggled, and protected as you would do. I have experience with energetic, senior, and pups with allergies and/or meds. I start grad school in the fall, so I have ample free time 5-6 days a week to provide attention and care for your furbaby. I am an avid communicator and will be making sure I follow all necessary instructions left by you (feeding needs, medical needs, etc.). If I’m not sure on something, I’ll always communicate to make sure to provide the best service to your and your baby.


About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life; my first was a black lab, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve helped train, walk, and care for our family’s three dogs, who are truly my world. I’m willing to go the extra mile for your dog(s), whether it’s playing, going to the dog park, or just giving them love 🐶❤️ I just completed my last internship at law school and now have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to petsit full time for the summer and fall of this year. I’m available during the week and on weekends! In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved by creating a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and routine. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal schedule and care instructions, keeping things consistent to help them feel at ease. Doesn’t matter if it’s feeding, walking, cleaning up, or just giving them attention: I treat every pet like my own.
