Dog Sitting in Pomfret

“Steven did an incredible job taking care of our Siamese cat, Monroe. He was patient with her the first few days as she warmed up to him and then loved on her once she came around. The daily pictures and updates were appreciated and helped ease our mind during our two week trip. We will definitely book with him next time and will include our deaf and blind Great Dane. His love and care for animals is obvious. Thank you Steven!”

“Katelyn was very nurturing to our two dogs. She was kind enough to comfort our 10 year old Great Dane whom is suffering from cancer when she was having a difficult day. She also played with our two year old corgi who is very playful and has quite the personality. I recommend her as a trusted and compassionate dog walker and sitter.”

“Faith was great, made herself available with short notice and communicated quickly when I reached out. She pivoted quickly when I changed the number of visits from 8 to 4. Would use her again.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was in middle school. I first had hermit crabs, then parakeets, and in April 2022 I got my first dog named Luna. I had her since she was about 2 months old so I have a lot of experience with puppies who are going through potty training etc. Luna is fully grown and is about 4lbs. She is a ball of energy and will definitely give your pup a run for their money! My aunt has had plenty of dogs and she has relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe her pets! I am definitely reliable when it comes to leaving your dog with me and I will make sure to provide updates throughout the day or night of your fur baby. I’m currently working full time during the week but I will have plenty of time to play with your pups on the weekends! I am available anytime Sat- Sun for boarding, house sitting, day care, dog walking, or drop in visits. I am also available Friday evenings but I do not get off until 4:30pm from work. I live in an apartment complex with dog parks surrounding it. I have a 4lb Toy Poodle named Luna who has a lot of energy and will keep your fur baby entertained. While in the the house, I can let both our fur babies play and entertain each other or crate Luna to give your fur baby some space. I allow dogs on the furniture so they are free to roam and figure out their new surroundings. If I house sit, I am efficient with checking in on your fur baby, making sure they are okay, and love giving walks. I can stop by for as long as you need on the weekends. Your fur baby will be well taken care of around me!

About: Returning to pet-sitting and walking as I rejoin the freelance world! I've always had a pet in the house, be it a cat or dog. I was the person who got to know the pet and their needs personally and cater to them. With siblings who travel often knowing I'm a pet person, I am often asked to check on their dogs (3 poodles in one household, 2 pugs in another) while they're away. Friends and family have asked for my help with cat care as I am especially versatile with cats. I have experience with pet care in a professional setting as well as I volunteered for my local shelter, caring for both the cats and dogs. Currently, I freelance so my schedule is open to provide for your pet when you need it most! Please contact me to ensure my availability lines up with your needs. I have personal experience with big and small dogs and am comfortable with any size. I also care for a social cat and a shy cat on my own so I'm familiar with respecting cat boundaries and their distinctive needs. I'm also comfortable providing oral or topical medications as well as ear and eye drops.

About: I'm a dog mom of 14 years who recently lost my baby Sky. I still have a dog but he's young and we're still growing on each other. I got comfortable with having more than one dog at a time in my life and find that loving more than one comes with ease. However, I feel like substituting the cost of multiple dogs I chose to optimize your dogs time and attention with mine. I love going to dig parks and I enjoy larger breeds. The bigger the better! I love small fries too... Every pup can be cared for by me. I look forward to caring for your fur babies just as I would my own. Let me know when you're ready to go!

About: With years of experience, I pride myself on being a sitter who listens closely to both you and your pet’s needs, and have an understanding of how dogs behave and communicate. I've had dogs my entire life, and grew up on a farm around all kinds of other animals too. My husband has had similar experiences, as his father was curator at several zoo's from Philadelphia to Seattle. I take the time to understand your preferences and ensure I provide care exactly how you want it. My own fur babies get walked daily and spend a lot of time outdoors, but are also used to staying in and having a chill weekend. I’m responsible, attentive, and detail-oriented, always ensuring your pets needs are handled in whichever way you prefer. I respond promptly to any questions or concerns and maintain open communication throughout. Rest assured, your pet will be treated with the same love and respect you give them, making their time with me both enjoyable and stress-free. I'm available Friday afternoon to Sunday evenings and will pick up and drop off your pet if needed. If your dog can handle being alone for the work day 7am-4pm week I am available to care for your dog during the week as well. I can schedule meet & greets in the afternoons. on most weekdays. I have a fenced in yard, two fur babies for your dog(s) to play with, and a large house for playing in, being crated if necessary or for lounging in our 3 large dog beds. When our queen size bed isn't being used (by humans), I convert it into an extra large dog bed where my pups have plenty of leg room. My husband, Mike, and I, go on walks daily and will visit our neighborhood dog park/beach area if your pooch likes to swim. Mike and I have cared for Miles for the last 11 years, but both have had dogs our entire lives. I have a tub and years of experience bathing large dogs too! Rest assured, when your pets are here, they are the guests of honor.

“I will definitely be booking with Samantha again. We have a rescue who was recently neutered. His cone came off during her visit in which he can become very frightened when trying to put it on. Samantha was VERY patient with him and for that i am grateful. She sent pictures, a copy of her walking route, and explained potty breaks and feeding.”

“I will definitely be using Taylor again. My cats are a little shy and did not initially come out when she arrived. She waited to ensure they ate .”

Shay K.

“I recommend Alexis wholeheartedly. Alexis did an amazing job on drop-in visits for my puppydog Luna! Every photo and video made me smile. Alexis ensured trust and I am confident enough to book her again. Alexis: Thank you for such wonderful work and meticulous care about Luna and my home (you can open the patio door lol!) :-)”

About: Working with animals has always been my passion. Right now I'm going to school to get my veterinary technician license. I have 2 pets of my own, Pepper and Teddy ages 8 and 6. I am currently working at a pet hospital as a veterinary assistant. We see a variety of dogs and cats, so I am comfortable around different breeds, big and small. I can provide plenty of belly ribs and TLC! I love working with puppies! It's so much fun when they come to the hospital. They are so playful and cuddly! I'm easy to get a long with. I'm a very dedicated and organized person. I would show your fur babies the love and care they deserve.

If you have any question please ask When I'm not working, I'm spending time with my own pets. We go on walks in my neighborhood. There are two ponds in my neighborhood both dogs have a fun time sniffing anything and everything. We'll play a bunch of games, and explore all the smells around the neighborhood. I am comfortable feeding, administering medications. I will check fence or gates before letting a dog outside. Before leaving, I'll make sure to lock the doors and do one last check. Making sure the area the dog will stay in is clean and check that all trash can lids are locked, no food is on the counters, and that any gates or crate are secure.

“Excellent attention to detail and communication. Would highly recommend.”
