1. Ashley P.
“Ashley helped me out on relatively short notice with my new rescue when I had to go away for a night. She kept a watchful eye on him and made sure not to keep him from starting any of his naughty habits. She sent lots of pics throughout the night and made me feel better about leaving my guy for a night.”
2. Sara M.
“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”
3. Julia H.
“Julia took excellent care of both our pup and our home! Our Frenchie has back issues and Julia was very sensitive to them, and comfortable caring for her despite them. We will definitely book with Julia again!”

5. Sara G.
“Sara was absolutely lovely! She was very comfortable with my dog immediately, asked great questions, was very thorough in her approach to caring for my dog along with providing updates while I was away. We genuinely felt at ease on our first trip away since moving to CT knowing she was caring for our dog. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone for pet care.”
6. Annette M.
“Annette was amazing as an overnight pet sitter! She took great care of our pets, provided updates and we returned to a cleaner home than we left. Highly recommend!”
7. Erica C.
“Erica Clough took loving care of my little dog Molly for 2 weks while I was away. However,when I came home with COVID she took care of my little one for a few more weeks. I need nothing more to say but Erica is the most loving and caring person. Your little ones would be loved and cared for.”

11. Holly M.
“I am so impressed with the compassion that Holly has for my dog, Oakley. He’s a larger dog at 75 pounds and can be quite high maintenance. But she is such an animal lover and knows how to deal with dogs. I would highly recommend Holly for any help with your dogs!”
12. Alexandra J.
“Alexandra is a very loving individual who cares about all animals she comes in contact with. Growing up we had dogs and she loved them more than anything else. She is very patient and caring and always puts the animals first. I know she will do a great job taking care of any animal she is asked to caregive for. ”
13. Cayton M.
“Cayton watched our Great Dane at our house for 4 days. I had every confidence that she teated our dog like she were her own. She went above and beyond the time I expected her to be with her- I know she got lots of play time and snuggles. Being the first time, I was reassured with her texting and sending pictures. I will definitely have her watch Daisy again.”
14. Roger B.
“Roger has been great with a very nervous pit bull mix. I had tried other dog walkers and sitters that have not worked out. Roger is very caring and treats my dog Whiskey like his own. He is calm and patient with Whiskey. I am so happy to have found someone that can take care of him that I trust. He stayed at my house so I could get away and everything went really well.”
15. Mackenzie C.
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep, unwavering love for dogs; they are my whole world. Losing my beloved Daisy has profoundly changed how I view the love of dogs, making me even more dedicated to ensuring they live their best lives. Dogs are only with us for a short time, and I believe they deserve nothing but the best. I cherish the moments of their goofy antics, their little toe taps, their teeth stuck on their lips when they smile out of pure joy, and especially their tails wagging crazily even the smallest things you do for them. People are always amazed at how comfortable and loving their dogs are with me for the first time meeting. For me, dog sitting isn't just a job—it's a way to make sure every dog feels as loved and special as they truly are. I currently work part-time with morning shifts until noon depending on the day. I am also a part-time college student, my classes for the upcoming semester are only on Wednesdays, leaving the rest of the weekdays available to care for your fur babies. I am looking to transition from my current job to one that aligns more closely with my interests and future career. My availability is Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 10 am to 5 pm, and Friday from 7 am to 3 pm. Still figuring out weekends but if there is a last minute pop up, I would be more than happy to spend time with your pup. When I get home from work, I always give my pups a hug/pet and a kiss on their noses. After the excitement of me coming home dies down a little, I let them out to use the bathroom in their designated area and then we head to the back yard for them to get their zoomies out. For the time being, the service I am going to offer will be drop ins or stay at the pups home for how ever long you would like them to have company until you return back from work or doctors appointments or to go visit family or friends, etc.. When I drop in, I will greet my client (your dog) with a friendly & comforting hello. If your dog is crate trained or in a designated area, I will retrieve them, let them have their excitement to see me and then take them out to go potty. Depending on if your pup gets lunch I will feed them lunch and then we will play for the time being or relax & snuggle if your dog prefers that instead until the visit is up. I also have a nice size SUV to take your pup for a ride to the park for walks or drop them off at vet/hair cut appointments or even just to drop off them at doggy daycare or to your summer home, etc. I would like to expand my services in the near future when I get a home for myself with a great back yard to have my fur friends come and hang out with me all day!
16. Eliza S.
About: I have always had dogs for as long as I can remember, I currently have three of my own. When I was a freshman in high school I got my license to start training Guiding eyes for the blind dogs. I have trained 4 dogs through the program, this involves training a dog from 8 weeks to 18 months doing house training and manner training ( sit, down, potty train, crate train, etc.) while they live in my home. I'm currently working part-time therefore I will have plenty of time for puppy play! A majority of my morning are available and a handful of afternoons ! I am also available weekends ! I currently have three dogs of my own all of which are well-trained and play well with others, I have a big yard for them to play in! I am patient when it comes to training or working with a new dog therefore I like to build that connection first with walks and play time!
17. Gabrielle F.
“Gabby is the most loving and caring pet owner I know! She loves her dogs and cats and takes such good care of them. She would be an excellent choice for taking your fur babies on walks and caring for them like they were her own. She has taken care of my energetic border collie and is great with him (which is no easy task!) I highly recommend Gabby for all your pet care needs!”
18. JoAnne B.
“JoAnne was fantastic!! She was super friendly and enthusiastic with my pups, and they really seemed to enjoy spending time with her. JoAnne was easy to communicate with, and left my house in tip top shape. I will definitely be asking her back, and highly recommend! :)”
19. Samantha S.
“Samantha is WONDERFUL! She watched our dog Lola while we were out for the evening. Lola absolutely adored Samantha and loved the time she got to spend with her. Samantha was responsible, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. She is great with dogs. We highly recommend Samantha and can’t wait to use her agai. :)”
20. Heidi W.
“Our little dog, (Dogo) is very shy, she's not comfortable going with just anyone. Heidi is her magic best friend who can always get her excited to come for a walk or a visit. Heidi is the only person we trust to take Dogo for the weekends when we are away, we know that she'll be happy, well cared for, and totally spoiled!”
