10. Mary Jo M.


“Mary Jo watched my dog and my sister’s (both anxious seniors) over the holiday weekend for daycare. We gave her weird hours and she accommodated us regardless, despite having little ones of her own. Drop off and pick up process was quick. It was late when we picked up so when a steel bowl was left behind she mailed it back, which we appreciated a lot. We trust her experience with dogs and are so happy the fur babies were safe and sound while we were away!”

12. Anthony B.

“Anthony is amazing! From the moment we met, his kindness and dependability immediately put me at ease. He took such great care of my furbabies, and they absolutely loved their time with him—they came back to me happy and completely tuckered out! It’s so reassuring to know they were safe and cared for just as I would have done myself. Finding Anthony has been a blessing—he’s truly a gem, and I’ll definitely be using his services again and again!”


13. Nina K.

About: I grew up around cats and dogs within my own home, other family members houses, & friends. We had a cat of our own until last year when we moved out of CT for a short time and had to sadly re-home him. He’s missed very much! I’ve also house sat pets and walked friends dogs as well. I work part time so I have a lot free time on my hands which makes me very flexible at all hours and time during the week! I care for pets as if they are my own. With all the love and fun that they can take whether they are in my home or I am in theirs!


14. Adriana & Christopher V.


“Very happy and relieved! I had to book last-minute for my pup when a neighbor had to cancel, and Adriana & Christopher were able to take Lucy at their house for the day. I worry about her because Lucy is a bit of an anxious mess when somewhere new (especially when I’m not around), and she was shaking like a leaf when I left. I felt terrible! But she was very interactive and played with their dog so much that she passed out and slept for hours when we got home! So, so happy and delighted with this experience for my little Lucy!”


15. Taylor H.

“Taylor was super responsive and cared for our pup for a few hours while we visited Mystic. She had an instant connection as our pup didn’t want to leave. Perfect. Thanks so much.”


16. Jikang & Leong L.
“They were awesome with my Doberman Olive! He needs a lot of walks and isn’t fully potty trained. They walked him three times a day and sent me tons of videos, which was super sweet. They also helped with her leash-dragging issue. Definitely great sitters!”


17. Joe B.

“Joe and his wife were very friendly. They watched Shiloh for about 5 hours while we visited with friends in the area. At pick up, we could tell Shiloh enjoyed her visit and playtime with the family's dog.”


18. Binti D.
“We have an older dog with health problems as well as a new, very energetic puppy. Binti was amazing! She was able to sense when our older dog needed a little extra love and balance that with the demands of a puppy. Would highly recommend!”


19. Lara H.


“We were very happy with Lara's care for our 5 month old puppy. She gave us some training tips and worked with Boo on leash while out walking. When we picked Boo up she was very calm and not needy. She seemed to fit right in with Lara's family.”


20. Katherine S.
About: I have had years of experience with taking care of dogs whether friends, family or neighbors. Within the last 2 years I have raised a puppy of my own and have skills in helping young to old dogs. I have administered medications before, I have cared for a dog with a rear leg injury, and can work flexibly with instructions from the owner. I am a full time nursing student currently. However due to coronavirus, I am home for the remaining of the year taking my classes online which allows for my full attention to be able to play, take dogs for walks, and give them great care throughout weekdays. Being able to take care of your puppy with all my free time would bring me so much joy!! I live in a three floored house with 2 other girls. Both girls are also lovers of dogs, each having 2 of their own in their families. While we do not have a yard, we do live less than a mile from a dog park where we often go for walks w one of my roommates boyfriends dog. Being a house full of dog lovers, we can ensure your puppy will be loved and taken care of!!
