House Sitting in North Franklin

“Orion cared for my home and pets for a week. I was very happy with his service. He stayed with my two dogs and went above and beyond to ensure their well-being. Orion provided updates, pictures and videos which gave me peace of mind. He even reported on medical concerns that arose, showing his attentiveness and dedication. Orion took care of other household tasks as requested. He watered my plants, collected mail and even handled deliveries that arrived during my absence. Coming home to clean floors and surfaces, free of pet hair, was an added bonus. Orion's accommodating nature during a flight delay was also very helpful. His flexibility and understanding were greatly appreciated. I recommend Orion as a house/pet sitter and plan to rebook him for future pet-sitting needs. His professionalism, care and attention to detail make him an outstanding choice. Thank you, Orion!”

“Emily was AWESOME. Very communicative upfront and during her stay watching Koby. I came back from vacation to a happy dog and a perfect house. Will 100% rebook the next time I vacation.”

“Charlene did an outstanding job. She communicated with us the entire time supplying pictures and video of our pets. She followed the feeding and caring directions for our cat, chinchilla, bunny and fish perfectly. Our cat, who is somewhat judgmental, loved her. Don’t hesitate to book Charlene”

About: I went to Highschool at Edwin O Smith where I took animal science class for four years. I then went to UConn and took a livestock animal class for a year. I have pet sitted for all types of animals from dogs and cats to goats and horses. I owned a small goat farm for 5 years as part of an FFA project learning to be an entrepreneur. I know basic veterinarian technician skills from my animal science classes. I have personally owned dogs, fish, birds, rabbits, hamsters, even squirrels for a short period. I have the experience to deal with more difficult animals and train them to be better if needed. At the moment I am a stay at home mom doing online courses for accounting. Since I’m always home it’s perfect for watching pets 24/7 or going out and feeding, walking, etc.. for periods of time. At my house I have an empty barn with a huge fenced in area for pets who can be outside. I also have a fenced in porch and animals can be brought inside if they preferred. I can also take care of animals in owners homes or barns.

“Karen was excellent with my anxiety ridden senior beagle. She sent me photos during the sit and he loved her from the moment he met her. She has a lifetime of experience with animals and I will be booking her in the future. ? recommended”

“Alyssa was great! Took great care of our pup, Bug. She was very responsive and friendly. Overall 10/10 would definitely use her service again!”

“He did great with our dog. Will use him again”

“Vicky is great with both dogs and cats! She is loving and will always make sure to take very good care of your pets! My cat and dog absolutely adored Vicky! She is and will always be my number one option for pet/home sitting.”

“Kiara was the best sitter for our little guy! She made sure to send lots of updates/ pictures to appease any of our separation anxiety- and she was incredibly professional. We’d highly recommend hiring her!”

“Anastasia is awesome! I felt so comfortable with her staying in my home and taking care of my fur babies. The dogs were loved and spoiled while I was away. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Awesome experience”

“We could not have asked for a better puppy sitter! Julia is personable and kind to both 2-legged and 4-legged creatures; she is an absolute professional. We received daily pictures and updates from her and any questions we asked were responded to quickly and comprehensively! She even tidied up after herself and left our apartment probably better than she found it. Look no further for a trustworthy, reliable pet sitter or dog walker—I know we wont!!”

“Terri was beyond wonderful taking care of our home, and fur baby. Her updates are extremely thorough and consistent. We have used her before, and will be using her in the future for our sitting needs.”

“Elena is wonderful! The dogs absolutely love her, and it’s very clear from her communication, questions, etc., that she is taking great care of them and of the house. Would recommend her to anyone looking for their sitter”

About: I have had the privilege of taking care of a toy poodle and mini poodle for the last five years. I have spent the last two summers watching over my cousins two dog as well. I have relocated and am now to far from the pups. Looking forward to being able to play and care for yours! I currently have a full-time position between the hours of 10am-4pm but my office is down the hall from where I live so I can always check on your pet! I am free most weeknights and weekends as well! I live in a decent sized two-bedroom apartment, with the guest bedroom being used for the pups I watch. I love to go for walks and go to the park so your pup will get tons of exercise and fun. My girlfriend does spend weekends with me which we enjoy watching movies so your pup will get a lot of quality time and snuggles as well!

“Steve was a very caring and loving pet owner. Bucky his dog for many many years was well trained, well loved & well taken care of. He has taken care of my 2 cats for days at at time. They are always happy to see him when he comes for them. I trust him unquestionably with my pets and so should you. Have no worries.”

About: I’ve been a huge dog person since I was born! I own 4 dog at my house and even a service dog for my partner. I’ve had a litter of frenchies in 2008 when I was 15 and instead of volunteering I took care of puppies all summer. Im home with my roommates dogs on the weekdays where I watch them and take them out for potty breaks. We all have a special bond together and are excited to start off days when I am dog sitting Now adays when other roommates in the house have to work I watch the dogs and the cat to make sure to take them outside for potty breaks. During the afternoon when the small dogs eat I go to the park with the big dogs for an hour and a half. Then bring them home to eat and socialize once again. For the big dogs I like to test them on basic commands to mentally stimulate them for the rest of the night so they can sleep throughout the night! The dogs I have now are a shitzu, pittbull/Lab, German Shepard/Rottie, and a cocker spaniel. But I do have a pretty kitty starla. I make sure for every dog to have their own space to eat and hang out. I separate the small dogs with the big dog especially for eating times. Puppies that I own eat twice a day depending on the pup and they get multiple times to go to the dog park to get their energy out.

“Cierra is a caring and affectionate person and she has always demonstrated a love of animals. She has a keen interest in training, and has the ability to connect with animals in a way that lets them know they are loved and safe. While it is obvious that she loves to play with and train dogs, her ability to work with dogs should not overshadow her other skills as a carer. She has compassion for all animals, and they all seem to gravitate toward her. She works hard to make sure that animals in her care are getting what they need and I trust her to care for all of my animals.”

About: I have lived with a dog in my family for as long as I can remember. I have had three dogs (Cherry and Dutty) and am currently petsitting my sister's dog (Thor) on weekday mornings. Thor used to live with me and my family but my sister has recently moved out. I love being around dogs because they show you so much affection without speaking. I always look forward to taking care of my sister's dog. I walk Thor around my neighborhood so he can get some exercise and lead a long healthy life. My sister went to the vet for a check-up and told her he has lost three pounds since I started walking him more :). I also bathe Thor on a monthly basis. My past dog, Dutty, was a smaller dog but I took care of him with the basics such as walking, baths, etc. I was still in my child/adolescent years when Dutty was around. I also have four guinea pigs with two being male (Coconut and Milo) and the other two being female (Peanut and Peanut Jr.). Peanut Jr. is the daughter of Peanut and Milo. Having four guinea pigs is not easy but it has helped tremendously with taking care of dogs. I would say it has made taking care of dogs much easier! I am currently free for most of the week. If you ask for a schedule that I can't attend to, I will let you know. Every day on a weekday, my sister drops off Thor in the morning at our house. Usually, Thor has already been taken out before my sister drops her off but I take him out if that isn't the case. He is also fed in the morning. Thor seems to be very picky with his food so I have to mix up wet food with his dry food. After this, I leave Thor with my mother so I can feed my guinea pigs and clean their cage. They are in a locked room that Thor can't access for their safety. I try to give Thor as much attention as he likes to cuddle and also be around someone. Even when he is sleeping, he prefers that someone is in the same room with him. Sometimes, I have to watch my nephew for a bit because my mother babysits him while my brother and sister-in-law are at work. Thor is usually happy being around my nephew so it all works out! I make sure Thor isn't rummaging through garbage and pick up anything on the floor that is toxic. Since Thor sheds constantly, I always have to clean the floor to keep the house tidy. I try to walk Thor every three hours and I also would go to my backyard to play with him so he can get some sun.

“Anna absolutely loves dogs and is so sweet with our mini dachshund. She shows her so much love and is very attentive. She pays close attention when we tell her about the specifics of our dog’s care. She loves and is great with all dogs - small, big, energetic, or older.”
