Tarah was sooo amazing with my cat, Mao Mao! My husband and I went away for 2 weeks on our honeymoon, which is the longest we've been away before so I was worried leaving her that long. But Tarah eased every single worry I had! She gave amazing updates and pictures of Mao Mao while we were gone, made sure her litter boxes were clean, her food bowl was filled, and that she got lots of love and pets while we were away! She was so responsive and easy to get ahold of and really went above and beyond for us! I would 100% book with Tarah again for any trip we take in the future!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13 years old. Family and friends always ask me for help. I have grown up around animals and know their behaviors. I take care of 2 indoor cats on my own. I also help my mom and grandma with the strays around our house taking them to the vet spaying/neutering them. I originally wanted to be a veterinarian and did shadowing at the Northford Veterinary Clinic with Dr. Minott and dealt with medication and nail clipping. I understand the signs and situations of an animal that is scared or feels danger. I have helped foster kittens and puppies from strays, preparing them to be adopted. My mom has worked at the Central Veterinary Hospital for many years. She has taken me to work many times showing me the ins and outs of the hospital. I also have experience with oral medication helping my mom with our dogs! I’m enrolled into The University of Tampa full time, but I have the entire summer free from June-August. I am an active person and would love spending time out side with your pet! In your home I will respect your property/privacy. Whatever you need me to do for your furry pet I will do! I will make sure they’re safe, loved and cared for!

Sandra was great!! My boy Logan is super skeptical with new people and it takes a little while for him to warm up, but she took her time with him and made him feel comfortable enough for their walk. I will definitely be reaching out to her in future! ☺️

After meeting Sara we felt extremely comfortable having her drop in with our guy. She is kind, asked lots of questions and confirmed the appointment ahead of time. The day of she arrived on time and sent lots of pictures- our guy loved her so much he let her rub his belly! We highly recommend Sara!

About: What sets me apart is my professional medical animal care experience and genuine love for pets. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician assistant with dogs, cats, and horses, and I am currently studying for my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. I provide patient, reliable, loving care and treat every pet like family while prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness. Pet care fits well into my current routine. I am a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine student, and I am currently on summer break. I also work a part-time job and have a couple of clinical rotations lined up, but overall my schedule is quite flexible. This allows me to dedicate consistent, attentive time to pet care and adjust to the specific needs and routines of each pet. I prioritize reliability and making sure every pet receives the care, attention, and consistency they need while their family is away. I provide care in my client’s home, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I am attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for while their family is away. Because I am a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine student, I am comfortable caring for pets with a range of needs and can recognize when something seems off. I also make sure to keep the home clean, secure, and respected, and I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re gone.

Melanie was wonderful with our cat! Our cat automatically went right up to her, which is always a great sign. She followed all of our instructions carefully, was very accommodating, and communicated well throughout the process. Her rates were also very reasonable, and she was kind, reliable, and easy to work with. We felt comfortable knowing our cat was in good hands and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!

Mary was amazing with my two goldens. They’re both very energetic and strong pullers on the leash and Mary was able to wrangle them no problem! She came over to meet the pups before hand and was so sweet to my dogs and to us. Send me photos every walk and give a full report back about everything the pups did! We all felt very comfortable with her off the bat as well. I would definitely have Mary back to care for our pups and recommend her to you 10/10!

Aniya was wonderful with her care of Missy. We had to make quite a few changes to the schedule due to an unexpected family issue and she was extremely flexible. Aniya was on time for all her visits, sent me pictures and did lots of cuddles with Missy. Would definitely use again.

About: I have had lots of different types of animal experiences since I was a child including always having a cat in the household and volunteering with animal shelters. My specialty is cats but I have a few years experience with sitting and walking dogs as well. I am always up for a new challenge and am very capable and adaptable. I have worked in many animal shelters, as well as managed a cat shelter, so I am very comfortable approaching all animals. I have a very flexible schedule because I run my own cat oriented business and make my own hours. My whole life is animals, so I love to fit them into my life as much as possible. I currently only offer services in my clients’ homes, and to ensure that their pets are always safe and secure, I am very on top of communication and checking in with my pet parents. I like to review all instructions together to make sure I don’t have any questions and know exactly what contacts are (vet, ER, friends) for emergencies. I always respect other people’s space and will leave things exactly as I left them, if not better. Letting someone into your home to take care of your fur family requires a lot of trust and I feel honored when someone allows me that privilege.

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life. Dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, hamsters, etc. I truly love all animals and enjoy making them fell happy and safe. I currently work evenings, so my mornings and early afternoons are available for walks and/or drop in visits. I’m also available on my days off at additional times. I am an extremely trustworthy individual who is compassionate to the specific needs of all pets. I’m willing to do everything necessary to gain the trust of an animal based on their personality and composition.

About: I worked for The FurKid company in New York City. There, I walked dogs, as well as provided overnight care for dogs and cats, which includes administering medication to the animals. I'm a teacher, so I am mostly available outside of the 7:30PM to 3:30PM window. I pour a lot of love into the animals I care for, no matter how much time I have with them! I have no pets of my own, so will be able to put all of my energy into yours! I unfortunately don't have a yard, but there is plenty of green space and a dog park in my apartment complex.

About: I absolutely love all types of dogs and cats! Ever since I was 10 years old I have not lived without a dog in my house. I am flexible with your pets needs from walking to running and biking or taking them to the dog park. I have experience with administering medicine orally or injections. I have a dog of my own (who currently lives out of state at the moment with my boyfriend) so I know the responsibilities of what it takes to be a great dog owner, he is large and high energy so I am not intimidated by dogs with tough personalities. I am very reliable and will respond usually very quickly to texts or calls thank you in advance for considering me to walk/watch your pet! I am currently working Monday-Thursday 7am-5pm so I am mostly available on weekends Friday-Sunday. I have an hour for lunch so I can also check on a pet then but it is not guaranteed. I treat your pets as though they are my own! I know how hard it can be to leave them so I make sure they feel like they are on vacation too by giving them walks, cuddles and permitted treats.

About: While I'm newer to formal pet sitting, I've cared for dogs and cats for family friends and neighbors so your pet won't be my first! I'm a natural with animals, patient, and attentive to each pet's personality. I love dog walking (it's my favorite way to get cardio in!), so your dog will always get an enthusiastic, energetic walker. Based in the New Haven area for the summer and completely available, your pet will get my full, undivided attention! Pet care fits seamlessly into my life! My work schedule is completely flexibility-based: I work at a restaurant where I set my own availability, and my research work is fully remote with no fixed hours. That means I can genuinely shape my day around your pet's needs rather than squeezing them in between commitments. Whether it's a midday walk, morning feeding, or overnight stay, I can make it work. Your pet's routine always comes first! When I'm in a client's home, I treat it with the same respect I'd want for my own. I'm a naturally neat and organized person, so you'll never come home to a mess! I follow care instructions to the letter because I'm very detail-oriented and deliberate, so nothing gets missed or forgotten. I also know how much pet parents worry when they're away, so I stay highly responsive to messages and love sending update photos so you always know your pet is happy and thriving. Communication and trust are everything to me!

Gillian went above and beyond what we expected. It was very reassuring to have someone with a medical background there for our boys. She always provided photos for her visits and administered medication as needed. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.
