About: I have taken care of dogs of all different breeds. I have had many rescues myself through out the years that have giving me more experience with different behaviors also. I love all animals. Glad to be at service for the fur parents that need some extra help with their 4 legged children. I work full time and do this on the side I have one little dog of my own and know she just loves her walks. I have a very friendly dog her biggest thing is barking but she’s harmless she just wants to make friends and get lots of pets.

“Michael did a wonderful job taking care of Bella from September of 2025 to now. I was worried that she would give him a hard time because she was 15 years old but he treated her very well! 🙏💔🙌”

“Amber has been great! She worked with me and pup to get him comfortable with her before she took him on any walks! My guy has never had a dog walker and is stranger reactive, but loves Amber! His favorite part of the day is his walk with her!”

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies and seniors. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as this is my full-time job. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and bathroom breaks, ensuring pets aren’t left alone for long. While I’m not offering overnight house sitting at the moment, I’m happy to provide house sittings during the day or evening. If I have a dog walk or drop-in, I may step out briefly and return. I will always keep my clients informed of my availability so they know they can rely on me. I love shaping my day around the pets I care for—whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening routines—so I can keep their comfort and consistency at the heart of everything I do. I take safety and trust very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I closely follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and house rules. I keep the environment clean, calm, and familiar to reduce stress for the pet.

About: I have over ten years of experience with dogs. I had a rat terrier named Imani growing up so I have experience with high energy dogs from puppies to seniors. I have 4 years of experience with cats. Three years with two seven year old boys during a previous relationship where I honed my cat care, training skills and love for cats. So much so that I adopted my own cat, a two year old named Billie, last year. I have also trained her to sit, lay down and fetch as well as using positive reinforcement to dissuade scratching behaviors. I am currently working for myself as a freelance photographer and consultant so I have a pretty flexible schedule and can accommodate multiple drop in’s in one day or work from your home while pet sitting. I am dedicated to maintaining a clean and safe environment for the pet I’m caring for. I love to send picture and video updates regularly. I love to play with cats and dogs and am committed to their happiness and safety.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats before I reached the age of double digits. Bruno was the first cat my family ever got, he was found in the rafters of our garage, he was so small he had to be nursed from a bottle. He won sweetest cat at the local library, and the next year we found Gus in our bushes on me and my twin brothers 6th birthday. We slyly convinced our mom he was a gift from God and we got to keep him! A couple years later, we dropped into the humane society and fell in love with a grey kitten, and of course, my brother and I pulled out our puppy dog eyes, and Junie B Fox Fire came home with us. It was a full house, three cats, two kids, and one mom. Eventually, it was time to convince my mom to get a dog. We ended up falling in love with a golden doodle and we named her Paisley. And finally, my brother and I felt satisfied with our Animal House. Our animals all lived long happy lives. Our three cats all passed away at 20, and Paisley at 16. They were always treated like family. Those 20 so years did not come without their scares. We had a few times the vet told us there was practically no hope, but Im convinced the love our family had for our animals bent reality, and every time, they were okay. Sometimes surgery was needed, other times just hope. But I am proud of the way I was raised to treat animals, and I thank my mom for that. In my 20s I moved in with my now ex fiance, and we got a dog together. An australian shepherd (I will adopt next time!), she was a puppy. We trained her, loved her, and I was her mom. Sprinkled through the years other cats entered our orbit as we took in family cats whose owner had passed. We became another animal house! unfortunately those cats were older so we got them on their ladder parts of life, and so when our apartment had no more cats, we decided it was time for a kitten! Together we raised our kitten Henry, and Aussie Skylo. I was their mom for about 7 years until we broke up, and tragically my ex stole them, and ran away with his mistress. There are no words for the black hole that left behind. It was right after the break up my family simultaneously lost three of our cats and our dog. Yes they lived a long life, but for the first time ever, I had NO animals in my care. I didn't know how empty that could feel! I don't want to make this a sob story, but I want to explain why you are just seeing a kitten in my photos. I moved to FL after the break up, and that is where I found Roary my now cat, who was 5 weeks old dodging cars in the middle of the busiest intersection in Fort Lauderdale. I was the only one on the ground to pick her up, I wasnt ready for a cat, but life did its life thing, and I am so blessed to have her by my side now. I am back in Connecticut, and ready for Rover! I am nurturing, thoughtful, attentive, and not to pat myself on the back.. but I do think I speak fluent animal. I would be so grateful for the opportunity to watch your beloved pet! I am currently free as a bird here in Connecticut. My availability is adaptable as I am in school and a part time substitute teacher. Safety always comes first. In your home, I follow your routine exactly; feeding, meds, and house rules. On walks I double check leashes, hold a tight grip, stay alert to traffic and other dogs, and never let your pet off leash. I'll send photo updates every visit so you always know your animal is safe and happy.

I offer services for dog walking as well as drop in visits at this time! During visits I make sure that your pet is given plenty of love and compassion when you’re away! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and I’m comfortable following routines, feeding schedules and any other special instructions.

I’m happy to provide pictures and communication so you feel at ease when I’m caring for your pet! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet!

About: When you trust me with your pets, you’re not just getting a sitter—you’re getting someone who truly understands animals. With hands-on experience caring for my own two playful puppies and a lifelong love of animals, I know what it takes to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable. I combine reliable, professional care with a personal touch, making sure each visit is filled with attention, routine, and love. From tailored care plans to regular updates, I go above and beyond so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pets are cared for like family. Because I work overnight shifts at my other job, my days are free and flexible for pet care. This allows me to dedicate quality, unrushed time to walks, play, feedings, and check-ins while most people are at work. My schedule makes me especially reliable for daytime care, and I’m also available for evenings and weekends. Having two puppies of my own keeps me on a consistent routine, so caring for pets is already a natural part of my daily life. Caring for my two puppies has taught me the importance of creating a safe, loving, and structured environment every single day. In my own home, I focus on routines, enrichment, and making sure they always feel secure. When caring for pets in other people’s homes, I bring that same level of attention and respect, while also maintaining their familiar surroundings and routines to reduce stress. Safety is always my top priority—whether that means following feeding instructions carefully, keeping a watchful eye during walks, or securing their environment. Above all, I know that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I take that responsibility seriously, and I’m committed to giving your pets the same care, consistency, and love that I give my own.

“Katelyn has been coming to walk our young lab multiple times a week for a month now. She communicates so well, and sends us great pictures of our little girl from her adventures each day. We know that our pup looks forward to her visit and walks with Katelyn everyday, and we feel so fortunate for her help.”
