1. Cayton M.

“Cayton was so great with my pup, Kala! We just moved to the area and have been looking for a dog walker. We booked a drop-in appt for Sat evening and Sun morning and Cayton made a trip out prior to the drop-ins to meet us and Kala, which was something we very much appreciated! Kala has always been a good judge of character and she loved Cayton, so we knew she was in good hands. Cayton gave us detailed updates with pictures for both drop-ins, which was great. Kala was very well taken care of and we plan on using Cayton in the future.”


2. Melissa B.

“I highly recommend Melissa. She is dependable and kind. She keeps you informed every step of the way and this makes vacationing with animals a pleasure. Thank you Melissa!”


3. Reeve F.

“My two kitties loved visiting with Reeve!! I felt very comfortable being away from home knowing they were ok. Loved all of the picture updates🫶🏻”


4. Katherine L.

“Katherine did such a great job! My dog gets very shy and nervous around new sitters and she was able to get him warmed up very quickly! She is also very flexible and was able to work around my changing schedule :)”


5. Elora H.

“Wonderful as always!”


6. Holly M.

“Holly M. is amazing! She is the best pet sitter I have ever hired. It is very clear how much she loves animals and how much mine love her. My dog is initially apprehensive around new people, and Holly knew exactly how to handle it. She is so friendly and easy to work with, and she is reliable, trustworthy and she goes way above and beyond. Lulu can't wait to see her again! I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


7. Adriana & Christopher V.


“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.”


8. Carley T.

“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!!!”


9. Samantha S.


“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!”


10. Gabrielle F.
“Gabrielle possesses a genuine love of pets-in reality, more so than anyone I know. Her level of care and concern for the well-being of pets goes far beyond simply making sure they are fed and walked. The depth of her understanding of pets extends well into the realms of nutritional health and emotional wellness, on a level equal to (or exceeding) that which you would expect from the most sought-after caregivers (of animals or people for that matter!)”


11. Devin E.
“Devin watched my senior lab & 2 Persian kitties multiple times when I traveled. She took the time to exercise the dog and keep the animals on their schedule. She is a sweet and loving person I would advise for any of your pet needs”


12. Kristina M.
About: I have over 15 years of pet-care experience. I've had many pets of my own- including dogs, cats, a bunny and a fish- but I also babysit for families with multiple dogs, which often requires I feed, play with and give potty breaks for the pets. I just genuinely love spending time with animals! I babysit and dog sit most days of the week but I am looking for more work during the weekdays. Preferably between 8am and 2:30pm. I can follow any guidelines you give me for caring for your pet. I know pet playtime is important, especially for working pet owners, so I will always show up with energy, but I also understand that some pets need a more calm presence, so I can be flexible and adapt to your pet as needed.


13. Samantha O.
“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!”


14. Jillison S.
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.




15. Mary Jo M.


“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.”


16. Jennifer K.
“I can’t say enough good things about Jenni! She watched my dog while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my baby. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals—and my pup felt that too. She kept me updated with photos, made sure she got plenty of exercise and cuddles, and followed all of the routines perfectly. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such loving and capable hands. I would absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat!”


17. Olivia B.

“Olivia’s first few days with the Frenchies was great. They loved her. On to our first full week. Looking forward to seeing Olivia this week 😊”




18. Sophia R.
“Sophia was so amazing when she watched my pupper for a week while I was on vacation! She made sure Billie got everything she needed, made sure to walk her regularly and even brought her on fun adventures to the beach!!! She is definitely a trusted dog sitter and I would book her again for sure.”




19. Alexandra J.

“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!!”


20. 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!”
