“We were so grateful to find Yvonne for our little pup on such short notice! She is very kind and friendly. Our puppy loves her very much. Yvonne was very gentle and patient with her. She is prompt with arrival and sent us pictures to let us know how our puppy was doing. I would highly recommend Yvonne to anyone, as you can tell that she really is fantastic and skilled with dogs!”

3. Carley T.

“Carley, thank you for your excellent care of our two kitties, keeping up with our big boy's meds, getting our shy girl to come out and enjoy time with you, giving them loving attention, and managing their food/water/litter. Much appreciated & will contact again when we need coverage. Thank you!”

5. Charles D.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs ever since I was a kid, walking feeding and bathing. My family has fostered dogs my whole life and I grew up with pets. I’m currently working Tuesday through Friday but I’m available anytime Saturday through Monday. I’m available to book with short notice and happy to commute. Thank you! Every dog deserves a walk. I enjoy exercising and why not help dogs stay healthy while I’m at it. I’m committed to give your dogs a good experience daily.


6. Sara G.

“Sara was incredibly professional and appeased all my needy cat mom wants. I so appreciate her time and am so happy to have found a kind and reliable sitter for our cats when we’re out of town.”


7. Cayton M.

“I can't say enough great things about Cayton! We have a different type of situation with our dog Jax as he is paralyzed and has no use of his back legs. This leaves him incontinent so we were very nervous booking anyone just knowing that it's a little difficult to express jaxs bladder. Cayton had some previous experience with bladder expression but on a female. So it's a little different. Even though it was a learning curve, Cayton didn't give up and really came through for us! It gave us peace of mind knowing that she was determined to figure out how to express our dogs bladder and we will definitely be booking with her again. Just knowing she has jaxs best interest at heart and really did care for him was really nice to see as this was our first time leaving him with anyone other than family.”


8. Jamie M.

“Jamie was absolutely fantastic with my cats! She went above & beyond during her drop in visits to give them lots of love & play time - she also did a great job with some mess cleanups. She was professional & communicative throughout the week I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”


9. Carolyn C.

“Carolyn was fantastic! This was the first time we used a cat sitter while we were away, but we had nothing to worry about with Carolyn. She was so great with our cat- she really took lots of time with him and made him feel comfortable and loved while we were gone. She kept us updated each day (and made us laugh with her daily reports and photos of our cat). Would highly recommend Carolyn!”


10. Tara S.

“Tara was awesome. Punctual and our pup loved spending time with her! Highly recommend!”


11. Adriana & Christopher V.

“I’ve known Adriana for over 10 years and I’ve always remembered her with so much fondness. She took care of our sweet Saluki boy, George. She was amazing with him. He was a bit of a character, but Adriana knew exactly how to make him feel comfortable and loved. Now, 14 years later, our boy has passed, but we’ll always be so grateful for the time he had with her. She really made a difference in his life, and we’ll never forget how great she was with him. Adriana has such a natural gift with animals, and we’ll always appreciate the love and care she gave our dog.”


12. Reeve F.

“My two kitties loved visiting with Reeve!! I felt very comfortable being away from home knowing they were ok. Loved all of the picture updates🫶🏻”


13. Samantha O.
“Samantha is a wonderful pet owner, as she has taken care of pets her whole life. I've seen nothing but love from her when she's around animals. She's not only a great person around animals, but people as well! You'll be happy to have her around!”


14. Jillison S.
About: Hi, I enjoy all ages of dogs and cats. I have had many, many dogs and cats growing up raising them from newborn puppies or kittens all the way into their senior years. I am well experienced in training puppies, playing with active cats/dogs and caring for sick or aged pets as well. I have also volunteered for many rescue organizations, most recently Meriden Humane Society. The joy animals bring me, far surpasses any other career I've had throughout the years. I currently am transitioning into part-time retirement of running my own HVAC company and I would like to start doing what I enjoy more; caring for animals(and plants!). I currently have a very active, under one, golden retriever and a 6 year old golden retriever. We love to go outside and throw the ball, play in the wading pool, or let the dogs play together in the backyard.


15. Marley H.
“Marley loves dogs and they love her in return. She is gentle and caring and I completely trust her to take care of my dog. Cary H”


16. Amanda W.

“Amanda is organized, prompt and professional. She dropped in to take care of Piper at dinner time, followed all instructions and did a great job!”


17. Samantha S.


“Samantha is a super-pro, timely, dependable, friendly caretaker for our Luna! She is also an excellent communicator and goes above & beyond during her drop-in visits for our kitty, Luna, caring for her and also letting us know what’s going on at our home while we are away. If we could give her SIX STARS, we would! She’s FANTASTIC!”


18. Erin G.

“Thank you so much Erin for dropping in on my pups last minute. You were very clear on your arrival expectations and you followed my care instructions perfectly. The dogs clearly were excited to see & play with you!”




19. Nicolette P.
“I have known Nicolette for more than 30 years. She is passionate about the care of animals. In addition to her own two dogs, she has fostered many dogs over the years. She has taken care of three of my dogs over the past several years. I couldn’t be happier with her care of my dogs. She treats each dog that she cares for as if they were her own. She is gentle, caring and compassionate. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter or dog walker with Rover.com”
