House Sitting in Old Lyme

“Jessica was very attentive to our 13 yr old dog, making sure he was well fed and got his multiple medications. She kept us updated with videos and photos. He was happy to see us when we got home but I think he also missed Jessica!”

“We’ve used Lauren several times and on this trip away we hit a major delay in our return. Lauren was happy to return to make sure our pup was cared for! So thankful for Lauren and feel so reassured leaving our dog in her care in the future.”

“Kathryn took great care of our 2 beagles while we were away. I know they'll miss her. She even swept up(they are messy) and cleaned off the kitchen counters. We would definitely request her again, in fact we already did.”

“Kat did a wonderful job! Our dog loved her, and we received lots of photos and updates throughout our trip. As an added bonus, the house was spotless when we got home. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve worked on farms and worked with multiple animal types from dogs to goats. I’m accustomed to schedule planning and checking everything off each day and night. I am open in the afternoons and I work in the early mornings. I am quite flexible as long as I have prior notice. I do work a full time job aswell. I have a very relaxed home as I have my own puppy and she has full ranged of the entire apartment. She is fixed and potty trained.

“Cayton was lovely. My dog was nervous on a rainy windy evening and she was so patient and calming with him. She went above and beyond to keep him happy and engaged.”

About: I've taken care of aniamls since I was 3, I take of my friends and neighbors animals, to give feed them and walk them and bathe them. I don't work because I live on a small farm and take care of them and all my dogs and birds and cats and I can work with anyone's pets after school. I have a dog fence with a doggy door for in and out and it's all fenced in and I have very friendly dogs that will Play and keep company.

“We are so happy with Kristen as a sitter for our 2 pups! She is experienced, attentive, and professional. Our dogs and house were in perfect form when we got home, and our dogs were not stressed at all. We look forward to using her regularly and having peace of mind when we go away.”

“Jasmine was great and helped us out in a pinch this weekend. She sent a couple pictures and was responsive to our questions and comments! We definitely would hire her again!”

About: I’ve shared my life with both cats and dogs since I was a youth. I am equally comfortable with tiny lap dogs and large, powerful breeds. I understand the different energy levels and handling requirements each size needs. Whether your pet is a playful pup or a senior cat who prefers a quiet companion, I adapt my care to fit their unique personality. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to make pet care a top priority throughout the week. I am currently available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, ensuring your pets receive consistent attention and exercise. My routine is built around being present and active, so you can rest assured your animals are getting the dedicated care they deserve. Safety is my absolute priority. During visits and walks, I maintain a vigilant eye on your pet’s surroundings and behavior. I ensure all doors and gates are securely locked upon entry and exit, and I always double-check that water bowls are full and the environment is hazard-free before I leave. I provide frequent updates and photos so you can see firsthand that your pet is safe, active, and happy. I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own two dogs.

About: I have years of experience dog-sitting and cat-sitting for friends and clients, often staying at their homes to make sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. My friends and clients trust me to care for their pets as if they were my own, and I'm committed to providing the best care possible! My schedule allows me to visit or walk your pet after work, Mondays to Thursdays (7 am or 6 pm), and anytime from Friday to Sunday. I am also available on weekends, Friday to Sunday, for house pet sitting, so your pet will have plenty of attention and care even if you're away for an extended period! With years of experience in dog-sitting and cat-sitting, I understand the importance of creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I follow a consistent routine, ensuring pets feel secure and comfortable, and I take precautions to maintain a safe space within your home. I'm committed to reliable communication, sharing updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. By allowing each pet to approach me at their own pace, I foster trust and a positive bond, ensuring they feel comfortable and relaxed in my presence. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities.

About: I've rescued and taken care of Animals for as long as I can remember and will care for your pets as if they’re my own. Please schedule drop offs and pick ups between 6 am and 6 pm. If you cannot pick up by 8 pm please book a sleepover. There’s a dog door that leads to the fenced back yard. I go outside with them to make sure they are safe. My home is only 600 sf so it’s easy to see everyone at all times! There are plenty of cozy spots for your dog to relax.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11 years old. I have walked, taken pups outside, fed them meals, kept them company and I’m able to do all of that for you and your puppies too! I currently work full time however my schedule allows me to still care for your puppies! The most amount of time I’ll be away at a time is 5-6 hours. I’m happy to chat about my schedule for the week you need me. I have 3 dogs who need much attention, I make sure by the end of the night they are out of energy by playing with them and running around outside. They love getting treats after dinner too and I’m sure your puppies will be just like mine, out of energy and happy!

“Angelle house & hound sat for me for two nights. Knowing my pups are extremely shy with people, she spent the entire time "working with them". Despite themselves they started to warm up to and trust her. She was so sweet and respectful of my home. And her doggie report cards!! I almost did not want to do a review for fear she would get too many new bookings to want to sit my pups if needed! :))”

“We felt incredibly comfortable with Sharon from the moment we met her. Our dog, Bella, is usually slow to warm up to new people, but she bonded with Sharon right away! We had absolutely zero concerns having her stay in our home as an overnight sitter. Sharon sent regular, reassuring updates and took outstanding care of Bella. We will definitely use her services again in the future!”

Gina R.

“Mark and his fiancé stayed with our 8 month old puppy, 9 year old dog and our cat for 5 nights in our home. We couldn’t have been happier with his care. He sent daily updates, pictures, and videos. He is clearly an animal lover. Our home was well cared for and he shoveled the driveway after an unexpected snow storm. I was completely able to enjoy my vacation without a worry. I highly recommend Mark for in home pet care.”

Nancy H.

“Sara was absolutely incredible. She was communicative, prompt, knowledgeable, and put my mind at ease. My pup is an old girl with ailing health and a picky mind when it comes to food. Sara showed up in the creativity to hook my kid up. On top of that, my flight fell through to the next day- she was flexible, allowing me to focus on other matters. Bless. I will definitely be using Sara again in the future. HIGHLY recommend”

About: I have a strong speciality working with felines and canines. Throughout the years, having pets of my own and pet sitting, I gained hands-on experience providing safe, effective, feeding, bathing, cleaning, and enrichment (including exercise) to varying animals through positive reinforcement. Additionally, taking animal behavior courses as an undergraduate student I learned a strong understanding how to interpret and respond to different species behaviors, such as fear. I then translated this knowledge working with fearful and traumatized canines to build their trust over time and to create positive associations in my personal time. I currently have a part-time job and can ensure to make your schedule fit into mine. I'm always sure to communicate if something may come up during your booking, such as other gigs or obligations outside of work, that way there's total clarity on where and when I'll be in relation to your pet(s). I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them. When I’m caring for pets, whether it’s in my home or yours, my main goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I like to keep their routine as close to normal as possible — same walk times, meals, and plenty of play and cuddle time. In my home, I make sure there’s a comfy spot for naps, space to play, and lots of attention. When I’m at a client’s home, I treat it with respect and care. Every animal is different, so I take the time to get to know what makes each one comfortable and content.

“Anna was amazing with Honey. Very responsive and sent lots of pictures. Highly recommended if you are going out of town and need someone to care for your animals! Will definitely use again!”
