Pet Sitting in Old Saybrook

“Allie took great care of blue for us today, she sent lots of pictures and was great!”

“My dog, Jesse Lee, was glad to see me when I got home, but I could tell Christine took good care of him. Jesse was the same happy healthy dog I left. I will use Christine again.”

“Sara did a great job. I am very happy that my pets were well cared for.”

“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!”

“Carley was amazing with Marley! Very thorough and mindful of her needs and gave her snuggles and attention (which she loves) Would love to use Carley again!!!”

“We are very happy to have found Eliza. She has been very good at communicating and punctual and our dogs are always calm and happy when we return. Highly recommend Eliza...except for when we need her!!”

“I know Kaitlyn Cipko to be a trustworthy, honest, reliable, dependable and caring person. I have had her pet sit in my home more than once, for long durations, for my two cats. She is neat and clean kind, respectful of my property and my pets love her. Whether it's long term or day to day, I wouldn't let anyone else watch my pets! I was so impressed with her, that I hired her on a temporary side job as an administrator for my business. Paperwork/internet/pets? She can do it all. I cannot recommend her enough. Any pets (or people) would be in the best hands with Kaitlyn.”

“Cayton is very kind, personable, and flexible! She has great communication and provided us a thorough report and photos on every single visit with our dog. She even sent us a notification when she was checking in and out of her visits. She was kind enough to bring up both of our garbage cans up our long driveway as well and she did that out of courtesy! Highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”

“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!”

“Roger is a fantastic cat sitter. He is super reliable, communicative, flexible and great with felines. He took really good care of my cranky and cantankerous (and sweet) 15 yr old kitty. Roger went above and beyond to accommodate her while we were away for a week. He also knows kitty CPR which made me feel extra secure! I recommend him highly!”

“What a wonderful cat sitter. Alexandra is an excellent pet sitter. We have a timid cat, yet she was able to sit on our couch and pett her. She was responsible for giving our cat pills for asthma and never missed the correct days. Our cat Mocha loved Alexandra taking care of her!! Can't say enough!!”

“My kitties enjoyed Carol’s visits. Both were well fed and cared for in my absence. Carol was very attentive to Elsa, my spicy 2 year old, and interacted well (see pics of her checking Carol’s hair out!). My 9 year old feral cat, Stela , stayed in her favorite closet, but let Carol get close enough to take her picture. Definitely will request Carol for my next cat-sitter job! A great experience.”

“Completely trust worthy and attentive, let’s out my German Sheppard and spends ample time playing with him in the yard. Walks needed occasionally. Would recommend 10/10”

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!

“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.”

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.

“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!”

“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!”

“l have known Nicolette for several years. She has over 20 years experience in fostering and adopting dogs . She is a dedicated and loving pet owner. Very responsible ,I would trust her completely with my pets.”

“Sara was so great w our 17 year old cat. She also communicated extremely clearly and has an easy kind demeanor. I look forward to working with her again”
