1. Jennifer M.


“I'm so glad we found Jennifer to walk our dog during the day! I used to be able to come home on my lunch break to take Scout out, but we recently moved to Trumbull and I'm no longer able to do this. Jennifer has been fantastic, she takes Scout for a nice walk, plays in the backyard, and gives her plenty of love and attention.”

“Amber is great! Showed up on time, actually walked my dog a good distance (thank you!) and played with her in the yard. Much appreciated!”


5. Elena C.

“Elena is punctual, professional, and super welcoming to my very zealous and demanding Cocoa. She's great!”


6. Erin D.
“Erin has been my dog sitter for a couple of years. Anyone who meets her, dogs included, will immediately notice her calm and caring demeanor. There were two occassions which Erin dog sat that might have been difficult for someone less competent. The first time, our house was in disarray from renovations. All of the furniture had been moved from the family room to the living room so the carpet could be replaced. Meanwhile, the floors in the room above the living room were also being replaced, and the workers stepped through, creating a hole in the ceiling. Erin stayed in our home: covered furniture, construction dust, and a hole in my ceiling, keeping company with my dog in a chaotic environment. Another time, right before Erin was to come over and dog sit, my dog tore her ear chasing a squirrel into a sticker bush. The vet recommended pumice powder to manage the bleeding. Erin didn't flinch at the injured ear or the additional care our dog needed that day. She sends text updates and photos while she's dogsitting. You and your dog will adore her!”

10. Ally M.
About: I have a dog and two cats of my own. They’re very friendly and love to be around all kinds of animals. I have had dogs all my life and know how to care for them well. I know how important it is for dogs to be active and be in the outdoors. I would love taking your dog on walks or even go hiking. I just graduated college at Clemson University and am hoping to attend veterinary school in 2026. I am back home for now and would love to help out taking care of your pets. I have dog sat before many times for friends and family and have loved every second of it. I hope to get the chance to meet even more loving pets! I just graduated from college and back home now. My schedule is very flexible as I am in the process of applying to veterinary school. I have a dog I just recently adopted that is very friendly and loves being around other dogs. She is leash trained and crate trained.


11. Laura H.
About: I have had cats since I was a baby and had chow chow dogs since I was 13 years old. I also worked at a kennel off and on for 12.5 years. I learned a little training but not a lot. I have worked with all different breeds of dogs. I love snuggling with cats as I grew up with having them in my household. I currently work full time however, full time is 30 hours for me so it allows me to have 3 to 4 days off towards the end of the week depending on the week. We have a large back yard with a dog run and as far as my cat. He is an indoor cat and gets spoiled indoors.


12. Kaylee B.
“When I consider pet care there are several criteria that I begin with. These include work ethic, personality, responsibility, attention to detail, and how the candidate handles my dogs. Kaylee checks all the boxes and then some. Her love of animals is obvious, but she is also firm with them. The dogs understand that Kaylee is in charge. In the end my best test is how my dogs respond, and they love and trust Kaylee. So we do too.”


13. Lindsay D.


“She was great! Came the day before to meet me and my dog to go over everything. Very responsive and obviously caring!”


14. Jessica & Joseph A.
“Jessica is a very kind, responsible, nurturing person and dog lover. I have a dog and would trust Jessica with her without any worry or hesitation. Jessica has experience tending to doggies and making sure their needs are met. You can be assured that your fur babies will be well taken care in Jessica’s home.”


15. Kaylynn G.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and just recently left my job as a pre-k teacher. I am able to administer medication, oral and injections, take care of puppies as little as newborns, and will love any pet like it is my own. I have experience house training puppies along with minor obedience training. I am currently working towards finishing my degree and finding a career as well as being flexible enough to spend time with my two and a half year old daughter. She will accompany me on my walks unless there are any issues with that! I have a super sweet 6 year old Catahoula who loves having playmates. My yard is almost fully fenced in, for now. We are working towards finishing the fencing. I can also accommodate to your home needs with leash walking and crating.


16. Madi C.
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, birds, chickens, fish, and horses since I was little. Anything from feeding to exercise to medical needs I can handle. As I am taking online classes for college as well as commuting from home, my schedule is super open and I’m ready to care for your animals! I have a large fenced in yard with a park right next door for easily accessible walks and exercise. I also have two dogs who are very friendly and love to be around others. I can easily separate if necessary
