Jessica did a great job with our dog while we were away two nights. Our dog can be fussy, but Jessica was great with her and was also able to give our dog her medication, which is not always easy. She also left the house and yard in great condition. We definitely plan to use Jessica again!

About: I've grew up with dogs and have been responsible for taking care of them, including feeding, walking/running & playing/taking outside, bathing, and more. I have experience giving older dogs medicine, both orally and injections (especially insulin for diabetic dogs). One of my dogs developed hip dysplasia and cancer at her older age, so I am experienced with caring for senior dogs in need of extra attention. Additionally, I often pet sit for family and friends and am trusted to ensure not only their basic needs are met (clean water, food, bathroom breaks/walks), but also they receive attention and affection while their owners are away. I'm currently home for the summer as a college student and I'm unable to get a job with a set schedule because I have surgery coming up which takes a huge chunk out of my summer but I'm available for the entirety of June and first week of July. I can basically be free whenever needed, weekdays and weekends! Since I have cats at my house, I don't care for client's pets in my own home to minimize conflict. In clients homes I follow whatever rules laid out for their animals, ensuring they're fed at the proper intervals, always have clean water (and litter boxes if used). If applicable, I like to go outside with the pets to play with them and make sure they get needed stimulation. I take them on walks (and of course clean up after them), and runs when applicable. I also like to make sure the animals get lots affection (as long as approved by their owners) to make sure they're not lonely while away!

Camilla was so amazing taking care of our big/rowdy/sometimes anxious dog while we were away for a long weekend. She provided daily updates, was easy to get ahold of (not that that was needed- she had it covered), and really seemed to treat out home as if it were her own with everything as clean and put away as we left it . Most importantly I came home to a very calm and happy dog. I always feel guilty taking him to boarding or dropping him off with family and it SHOWS by the time I pick him up, but today he was acting like we had never left. I am so appreciative of the care she provided and would not hesitate to reach out again for future sits.

Having Hunter stay with our pets was a great decision. My dogs (pandemic puppies) get VERY excited when people come by so they were extra happy to have Hunter with them for a few days. I was at ease while she was staying with them and would book her again if the need arises.

Ian was the absolute best! He stayed at our house with our 2 dogs for 5 days. I received regular updates and pictures of them- which was so appreciated and needed being so far away from them. I’d have Ian back in a heartbeat!

About: I have hands-on experience working on two different farms and Hamden CT’s brooksvale park (all throughout high school) , where I cared for a wide variety of animals, including everything from dogs&cats - cows & sheep . I’ve kept close contact with multiple repeat costumers I’ve built lasting friendships with house sitting/dog walking for. These experiences taught me how to read animal behavior, stay patient, and provide attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. In addition to pet and house sitting for friends and family, I grew up with four pit bulls in the house and learned how to care for them as pups aswell as in their old age. I Have had smaller pets like hamsters and guinea pigs and currently have my own small dog with a big personality I love very much (side note I can take professional photos of your dog if you’d like) I recently graduated from art school(studying fashion design) and am currently looking for work related to my degree. In the meantime, dog/house sitting and walking fits into my open schedule I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I stay attentive to feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection (including belly rubs and treats if allowed!). I’m also happy to accommodate any special routines, medications, or care instructions to make your pet feel at home

I recently went away for 4 days and Laura watched my cat Felipe for me. As a first time cat owner and adopting Felipe almost 3 months ago, I was very nervous about leaving Felipe alone especially over night. Laura kept me updated the whole time, sent me pictures at every drop in to ease my worries and even did some extra drop ins to give him a little company. This was my first time using Laura as my cat sitter and she was absolutely amazing with Felipe. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby

About: I had a maltese puppy for 10 years from age 9 weeks onward and most recently had a shih tzu puppy that turned 1 on 5/28/25. In the oast I've had pets including hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and fish of my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your pup will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. Here's what a typical day looks like when your dog is with me: 🐾 Morning (7am–10am): Potty break, breakfast, and a light walk or play session 🐾 Midday (11am–2pm): Walks, potty breaks, enrichment games, or just relaxing cuddle time 🐾 Afternoon (3pm–6pm): Another walk or active playtime in a safe, calm environment 🐾 Evening (7pm–9pm): Dinner, a final potty break, and winding down for the night I'm available for: ✅ Drop-in visits ✅ Dog walking ✅ Puppy care Weekend and holiday availability included! I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, or specific instructions your dog needs to feel comfortable and loved. When you trust me to care for your dog, I show up with love, respect, and attention to detail — all in the comfort of your dog’s familiar surroundings. 🐶 In-Home Peace of Mind: I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most secure. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit, taking your pup for a walk, or staying overnight, I follow your routine closely to minimize stress and keep your dog calm and happy. 🦴 Personalized, Gentle Care: I specialize in small breeds and have over 10 years of experience. From meal schedules and potty routines to medication or calming techniques, I provide care tailored to your dog’s specific needs. 🚶🏽‍♀️ Safe & Engaging Walks: Walks are done one-on-one in familiar areas, with close attention to your pet’s energy level, leash behavior, and comfort. I avoid crowded dog parks or risky environments to keep your dog safe. 📝 Trustworthy & Transparent: I communicate clearly, provide updates, and send photos during every visit. You’ll always know how your pet is doing, whether I’m there for 20 minutes or staying the night. Your pet stays safe, your home is respected, and you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, responsible hands.

Oxford, CT, 06478

About: I was raised with Border Collies, Maltese, German Shepards, Norwegian Elk hounds and Huskies, between fostering, personal pets and caring for friends/families pets. Cared for and hand fed puppies my whole life as well as cared for senior dogs needing a slower, more loving pace in their later years. I run my own business and work from home allowing me a lot more free time and flexibility than most in and outside my home for care. I have 2 very smart and sweet cats (1 years old and 4 years old) as well as a 10 year old Norwegian Elk Hound. All 3 are more than accustomed to random animals being in and out of the home as anyone with animals that come over are more than welcome and encouraged to bring them along. Animals are children and completely apart of the family in our world and household. Capable of crating animals yet prefer freedom for the babies if possible.

I felt completely comfortable using Rachael as a first time Dogsitter for my fur babies. She was responsive, responsible, and gave me the perfect amount of updates during her stay. If she had any questions, she asked them which I appreciate! I would 100% recommend her, she’s definitely conscientious and trustworthy. Thanks, Rachael!
