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.

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!

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 have had dogs my whole life. My job has been to feed them, give them water, clean up after them, take them for walks, and give them medication. I also currently have a senior dog, so I have some experience with them! I have experience with small and big dogs alike. I am a college student who is home for the summer, so I have full availability. During the school year, I will work around my class schedule. Evenings and weekends will be free for sure. We have a fenced yard at home. Still, I watch my dogs just in case. In spring/summer I check for ticks every time they go out. When we go on walks, I am always diligent when we pass another dog. If my dogs aren't up for walks, especially my senior dog, we go out into the backyard and play fetch or run around.

About: I’m very experienced in taking care of dogs with physical and/or mental disabilities, both my own dogs or dogs of family members/friends. I understand the strict nature of diets and medication times, and I have experience taking care of dogs post-op, whether it’s from their being spayed, back surgery, etc. What truly sets me apart, though, is that I have experience with epileptic animals. I have a Chihuahua who gets seizures, and understand common procedure to prevent the dog from hurting themselves, myself, or the property of the home. I’m also experienced with the detailed documenting of these events. I’m more well versed with small and medium dog breeds, and specifically I’m an expert with chihuahuas as I’ve owned two for eleven years! I’m currently in college with few credit hours. I don’t take classes on Fridays, and during the school week I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings to take care of your babies! I’m very strict about medication times, feedings, potty breaks/walks, and play time with my own dogs, and intend to bring this discipline to your own pets. I’m also a very clean person, and will happily take care of any messes that may be produced by myself or your pet!

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.

I’m so grateful to have found Kat to sit for my dog Kona! I could tell Kona was at ease immediately when Kat arrived to house sit during my week long vacation. From the updates I know Kona got plenty of long walks and attention - she looked so happy in all the pictures! Kat really went the extra mile, taking care of the little every day things like mail and even feeding my backyard chickens. I felt very at ease having Kat watch over my home and dog, and would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking the peace of mind that comes with a great dog sitter for their next trip.

Hamden, CT, 06514

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

Ali was great! Having to deal with a very skittish dog, that is afraid of almost everything and especially quick movements and loud noises, Ali took the task and before we knew it, my dog Jinx was sleeping with her and would come when called. I suggested using a lead on Jinx in the "honeymoon phase", just in case Jinx decided to hide under the bed and not come out, but that didn't happen. Jinx took her time and hid for a few hours, before approaching Ali, who was very patient. I highly recommend Ali, but now I'm afraid that I won't be able to put her on the books for the future, she is "that" special.

My dogs, especially the standoffish one, of my 3, loved Ian upon meeting him. He is very patient and gentle. He is so considerate and attentive. I cant praise him enough! We are actually stuck where we traveled to, and were able to book him last minute for a few more days. We will be tipping him accordingly upon our retun thanks to his last minute flexibility. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

About: I’m a 21 year old veterinary science student, with two pits that I absolutely adore!! I got Disney at the start of Covid and had to resocialize him all over again afterwards. Then we decided he needed friend. I’ve had experience with fleas, ticks, emergency vet visits- You name it! I love any and all animals, though I understand that each pet is different and has their own set of needs. I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep your baby safe and healthy, I’ll treat them as my own!! ☺️ I work a part time job so I have more than enough free time to care for and play with your pet!! When I am not caring for your pet I’m probably caring for my own! Food, walks, coconut oil rubdown, tucked under the blanket you name it! I recognize that everyone’s schedule varies! I am great at following set routines. So if that means your dog needs to be walked fed and play with within 30 minutes I guarantee you within that 30 minutes will be well done. I will always leave your home and pet cleaner than I found them .

Sam’s great as always. If she ever stops doing this, neither of our dogs would be able to recover from the severe heartache they would develop!
