“Emilia was wonderful with my dog! She took extra time to get to know him, learn his routine, and make sure we were both comfortable before even taking a dime. I really felt I could trust her with my dog and knew he would be in good hands. She took such good care of him while I was gone and updated me during each visit which was super comforting. Will deff book with her again!”
About: Many years experience of potty and crate training puppies. I have raised a St. Bernard, Husky, 2 Pomeranians, and currently have a BichaPoo. I even was able to assist my Pom Coco when she gave birth to her son. It was a beautiful moment. My schedule is very flexible and most days I work from home. Plenty of time to spend with your pet. If I do have to go into the office I will be gone no longer than 5 hours. In the evenings my husband and 4 kids (ages 15,12,7 & 7) are home as well. I have a fenced backyard and a lovable BishaPoo to play with your fur baby. Pets in our home are free to roam around our home. They are one of the family.
About: I have been taking care of my family pets since I was a child. I currently have a 4 year old cat and 3 year old lab mix (both of which I adopted at only a few weeks old). I have taken care of a large variety of neighbor pets in the past and have ample experience taking care of reptiles including turtles, snakes and lizards. My full time job is taking care of their human counter parts (as I am a physician). My schedule availability mostly incorporates weekends and nights as I work full time as an endocrinologist. Fortunately, my job does allow me to be available during most weekends. I am a reliable and trustworthy care taker. I have means of transportation to take an animal to get medical care if needed (or to bring to the park for a play date). Although I do not offer in home services, I have taken care of animals in the home setting multiple times.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life! I grew up with a senior dog and cats in their late teens, and then got puppies and kittens that I’ve taken care of for over a decade. I’ve watched pets for friends and family, and while I’m new to professional pet care, I’ll treat yours with the same care I’d treat mine. I can fit pet care into virtually any time of most days. I’m a college student home for the summer, so I’m not very busy! I’m very gentle with my pets, and I like to treat them like a friend rather than another type of entity. I respect their boundaries and comfort, and like to see what would be best for them in any given moment. I’m always respectful of other people’s homes, always respect house rules, and am super careful of others’ property.
“I just booked Christine for the fourth time! She is very responsible and has been giving my cat insulin injections 2x a day after each meal with no extra charge for the injections! Highly recommended!”
About: I am a dog mother of two amazing girls. Kala is a 7 year old Pit/Chow mix and Izi is a 1 year old Pit Chiweenie mix. I treat both of them as if they were my human kids. I also have experience with fostering. I look forward to having your dog accept me as part of their pack! I am available during the week after 5, with wide open times on weekends. I currently work full time until 5PM. I can do drop ins or walks after 5PM during week days. My weekends and holidays are typically wide open! Safety is my top priority! I will have your pet in direct eye sight at all times. I can assure they will be well taken care of whether it’s with walks, potty breaks, playtime, etc. I am willing to send you a map of the walk we took, showing the distance and the time.

About: I have worked as a veterinary technician for the past 3 years and previously worked in doggie daycare and boarding. I love cats, dogs, and even exotic pets like rabbits and birds. I am very comfortable working with pets of all ages and breeds, even pets who need specialized care or medications. I currently work full time as a veterinary technician. I am available to care for your pets in the mornings and evenings, or any time during the weekends. When doing in-home visits, I love to meet the owner and their pet prior to scheduled visits when possible. This allows your pet to become more comfortable with me in their home, and it also allows me to speak in detail about your pet's needs and typical routine. I ask that owners share their pets typical routine, feeding instructions, any behavior triggers etc. Most importantly, I ensure that your baby gets the love and attention they deserves while you are away! I also love to send owners photos/checkins to keep them up to date!

About: My name is Ashleigh! I’ve always had a love for animals of all different sizes and breeds and species. Dogs are my favorite. They genuinely make me feel better and I love seeing them happy and enjoy seeing them have fun. I’ve had experience with dogs since birth, honestly. My dad had a chow mix named Bear and I loved him so much. My family has always had a dog. I moved to Connecticut in 2011 and I moved in with my uncle who owned a German shepherd and I quickly fell in love with her. I took her for walks, fed her, took her to parks, etc. She quickly fell in love with all of the attention I gave her. My uncle now has 2 German shepherds that I go over and bathe and help take care of when he goes out. I have experience giving out medications to dogs as well. As my uncles first German shepherd needs medications for her hips daily. I would love to get to know your pup more! And help in any way I can! Thanks for reading 💜 I currently work full-time Monday-Friday. I’m available to care for your pet after work on the weekdays or fridays after 1 and Saturday and Sunday or on any major holiday! I have a fenced yard but it doesn’t enclose the whole yard. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is wonderful for walks. And my puppy would love to play with yours!

She allowed my dog bathroom breaks in the yard and fed him on time. Would not hesitate to ask her again !”
