1. Joyce L.

“Lovely to work with! She took great care of our cat while we were on vacation for a week. She played with her a lot and was really attentive to the instructions we had left around feeding and other things. She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures. She also left our house super clean and was overall very considerate.”


2. Lars & Sarah C.
“Cody is a responsible dog owner who also loves meeting new dogs. Anytime I’ve seen him meet a new pet, he immediately creates a bond with that animal. He’s also very good at picking up on different animal behaviors and how best to respond. He will be a great dog walker for all types of dogs!”


3. Grace P.


“Grace is wonderful. She is attentive, patient, kind and professional. She took great care of our fur kids and we look forward to booking her services again in the future.”


4. Erin C.


“Erin was a perfect pet sitter. We have a mixed bag of pets, including one very old Newfoundland and a Newf-Lab mix recovering from ACL surgery. Erin was up to the challenge and our pets have nothing but good things to say about her! We will definitely be reaching out to her for future trips!”


5. Armani B.

“We are so grateful for Armani! We had a last minute trip come up, just before a longer pre-planned trip we had already scheduled with Armani, and she was so accommodating to stay with our dog on this short notice! We couldn’t be more grateful for the kind and thoughtful care she shared with our dog - it is a comfort to know our dog is in such good hands while we are gone. Armani is a lovely houseguest and the complete professional - we can’t recommend her highly enough!”


6. Carolyn D.

“Carolyn was wonderful taking care of my anxious pup! He takes a day to warm up and she handled him wonderfully and soon they were the best of pals and he was snoring all day like his usual self. She also left my home in beautiful condition. Would absolutely recommend and we'll be using her excellent services again!”


7. Benjamin S.
“Ben has made it easy for me to be at work for 12 hour shifts and know my beloved pets, including 2 large dogs, are well cared for, including being fed, walked, and given treats, as well as played with and given love! Super important to being able to go to work and not worry, Joan S.”


8. Dominique M.

“Excellent care was provided for my pets on a short notice, would definitely utilize her services again.”


9. Laura G.

“Laura took amazing care of our two boys and took exceptional care to make sure they got the exercise our young hound needed. She was super respectful of our home. We would love to have her to stay with our guys any time!”


10. Hannah C.
“Hannah is the best when it comes to taking care of my favorite thing in the world. She follows all guidelines and as a pet parent, we have some outlandish requests such as not too many treats, and a walk that's at least 30 minutes. Hannah was always on time and went the extra mile to make sure things went smoothly. The cold never bothered her and she would take the time to meet your pet before the first outing. She understands the body languages of animals, and my dog suffered from separation anxiety as well as not loving other dogs. Hannah would continue the training I was using and made sure to provide a quality experience for all. I would trust Hannah with my dog's life and know that she is in the best hands.”


11. Ariana M.

“Ariana really came through for us when our usual sitter became unavailable at the last minute! Our dog and cat really seemed to like her and she kept the house neat and tidy during her stay. We really appreciated how much she kept in touch with us and shared photos of our happy critters. If the need arises, we will be happy to hire her again.”


12. Allaire D.

“Allaire was wonderful! Communicative and easy to work with. Her beautiful dog Baloo met our boys (1 dog & 1 cat) before the stay and everyone got along beautifully! I'd highly recommend Allaire and can't wait to have her stay with our boys again.”


13. Casandra B.

“Casandra was great with my cat Coco! Coco requires some medications to be given a couple times a day, and she was able to do that. She gave me updates on Coco throughout the week, and photos of Coco every day, and I came back from vacation to a healthy happy Coco!”


14. Ashley M.

“Ashley was fantastic with our two girls. It is hart to leave them especially since our one dog is on lots of medication, but Ashley managed all the meds flawlessly and took them both for multiple long walks. I highly recommend her!”


15. Laura P.
About: Over the past fifteen years, I have provided all levels of care for pets of many kinds. Throughout high school and college, I worked at a commercial horse barn feeding, providing basic first-aid, turning horses in and out, and cleaning stalls. In addition to my extensive experience with horses, I have also owned and cared for several dogs, including a few fosters that have come through my home over the years. I currently have two of my own cats (Mia and Gus), a long term foster cat (Junior), and a golden retriever (Riggs). I currently work full-time as a Research Scientist at a local biotech company. I am able to provide services on weekends mostly, but I am also available early mornings and later in the evening as needed. Mostly able to provide care in owners' homes; however, my condo is near a large field on the Connecticut River, which is a great place for dog-walking.


16. Brooke G.

“This is our second time having Brooke dogsit for us. Unfortunately my dog he had a horrible episode of diarrhea. I'm sure it was overwhelming, but Brooke cleaned it up and handled it very well. I would highly recommend Brooke to watch your dogs. She is dependable and professional!”


17. Hilda N.

“Hilda stayed at our house and watched our dog and cat. She was wonderfully professional and as a bonus a wonderful house sitter as we came home to a cleaner house than we left it! I would not hesitate to hire her again.”


18. Morgan B.

“Morgan was everything we were looking and more! Kind, courteous, and clearly an animal lover at heart! We have two large, crazy dogs and she was confident yet gentle with them from the moment they greeted her at the door. Our 16 year old cat who doesn’t come out for many people warmed up to her quickly too. We wouldn't hesitate to have her come stay with our animals again!!”


19. K F.
About: I have lots of experience with animals of all kinds. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds for friends & family since I was very young. I currently work full time during the week & have weekends off. This works perfect to allow me to give adequate potty breaks & lots of attention, with even extra time over the weekend. When caring for your pets in your home, I will aim to maintain the routine they know & are comfortable with. I appreciate information on what they are used to, to allow the experience to be as stress-free as possible for the pets.


20. Kimberly L.

“We needed to find a house/dog sitter for the weekend due to an unexpected situation and Kim was great. She responded quickly and was able to meet me and the pups same day. She was personable and I felt very comfortable leaving her to watch my home and pups. She was very communicative through the weekend, sent lots of pictures, and even left us a sweet welcome home gift and note. 10/10 would recommend and use again.”
