Pet Sitting in Old Lyme

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and taking care of them since I was a little girl. I have experience with kinds of dogs ranging from taking care of senior dogs to training puppies, big and small. I currently work from home on my own schedule, so I am free and flexible to take your dog on a walk throughout all hours of the day. I ensure your pet is safe at all times by driving with extra caution and using a dog seatbelt. I avoid highways and only drive on roads that are 25mph-35mph. I let you choose from a variety of dog-friendly walking locations and also provide a tracker that allows you to see where we are at all times. If your neighborhood has a sidewalk, I can walk the dog without ever having to get in the car. On top of this, I have obtained a Cat and Dog First Aid Certification from the Red Cross and a Dog Walker Certification from the International Association of Professions Career College.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and have always had dogs in my life. As an adult, I’ve trained 3 of my own dogs. I own my own home in a quiet neighborhood which I share with my brother and my 4 year old boxer Bette. My home is near many great walking areas I am a runner; and I walk with or without my dog regularly. I am patient And tolerant, but not a pushover, and I can offer your pet a very nice experience in my care I have a very flexible schedule so I can be available at many different times of the day. I can do pet sitting g at your home during the day or overnight My dogs have always been considered part of the family and I am very affectionate with my fur babies and you can expect the same from me with your furry friends

“Absolutely the best care possible. Adriana and Christopher went above and beyond to care for our pet and home. They are extraordinarily loving, considerate and trustworthy and leave you with the comfort and knowledge that everything is being looked after.”

“We really like Sam! She communicates well, was very responsive and relates to animals. We know our fur baby is in good hands with Sam when we can't be there.”

Susan M.

“Mary was so great with my dog, will be using her as my regular dog sitter going forward. Was super attentive and interactive with him from the first meet and greet. Great communication from her and loved the check ins she sent while she came to visit, very glad I found somebody so happy to spend some time with him when I’m at work. 10/10 recommend!”

James S.

“She took very good care of my cat.”

Deirdre K.

“Cayton did a great job taking care of my cat Rudy. She is very capable at giving medication. Rudy was always happy to see her. Cayton also brought in the package that was sitting on my front step. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need care for Rudy while I'm away! I'd recommend her to anybody needing pet care.”

“JoAnne is a quick study and expertly navigated her way around the quirks of each animal! This is our first experience with her, and we returned from our trip to happy, healthy babies. We appreciated her brief, daily updates and look forward to working with JoAnne again for future coverage!”

San E.

“She was very accommodating for my 2 finicky cats! She took the time to look for my shy cat in the house to feed him his treat and gave me clear notes and pictures each visit.”

Phill B.

“Megan is prompt and attentive to our pup. She is reliable and trustworthy in our home, as well. Cassie loves her sitter!”

About: I have been house sitting overnight since I was 14. I have experience working with dogs, cats, mice, and flying squirrels. Believe it or not, I have taken care of dogs who were indoor-trained only.I am also an experienced dog walker- not just with my own dogs but with friends' dogs that I've loved as my own. **serious inquiries only** please do not send me a booking request if you're going to ghost me after I respond or if you plan to book with another sitter. You'd be surprised by how often this happens. I abide by the safety precautions at the homes I stay at (fences, ring cameras, etc). When I stay with indoor cats, I take extra precautions when leaving the house to make sure the cats don't escape.

“Our cat Purmione enjoyed visits with Erin! 🐈‍⬛️ Quite a relief since she is normally a bit skittish. Erin followed our many many instructions to a tee, leaving us free to enjoy our vacation instead of worrying.”

About: We have a 6 year old Golden Doodle with plenty of energy! Always love having other dogs with him to play to enjoy our large fenced in yard. He has lots of energy so can keep up with your dog, but always knows when it’s time to chill! We limit the amount of dogs we take to ensure a stress free environment for all, especially when taking on new friends! We do have a young son so will need any dogs to be friendly with children Majority of the time myself and my wife both work from home - one of us is here at all times and love to spend time outdoors with our dog Fenced yard - approx 1/3 acre enclosed Friendly and playful golden doodle who gets along with everyone. We’ve cared for many friends dogs and would treat yours like our own

“Torie has been thorough and excellent communication in the caring of Sassafras.”

“Yvonne was wonderful with our sweet boy Bernie!! She treated him like one of her own and took such good care of him. She is kind and trustworthy and we were very pleased with her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter - we will definitely book again with Yvonne in the very near future!”

Andrea R.

“We are very happy with Binti's service. She arrived on time and notified me if delayed. She made time to walk and play with Sebastian. We will definitely use her services again.”

About: I ensure the highest quality care for my own pets, and I will make it my priority to do the same for yours! As long as I can remember I’ve had pets, and they’ve always been a passion of mine. I work full time from home during the week until 5pm! I am able to provide drop in visits in the evenings and then multiple times a day on weekends. I am unable to accept pets in my own home at the moment, however what ever you need done within your own home I will make sure is done correctly and in a timely manner!

“Sara was terrific!! She is communicative, takes lots of photos, and she's funny! Plus, she went out of her way with my plants, one of which got some mold and she found the Neem oil to treat it. From mail to putting out the trash, she really goes above and beyond just pet care. I felt like the house was safe, our cat was happy, and we could enjoy our time away. Thanks so much, Sara! Bill and Diane”

Diane S.

“It was a wonderful experience using Mary Jo and Rover. We were gone for the day and felt comfortable knowing our girl was going to be well taken care of. She was very easy going and professional. I’d definitely use her again.”

Debbie G.

“Emily was great! We did a meet and greet before the day of the check-in to make sure Maple (our dog) could warm up and be comfortable with her. She sent us pictures of Maple during the check-in and let us know Maple was behaved on her walk. We will definitely use Emily again when the opportunity presents! Thank you so much Emily!!!”
