Pet Sitting Putnam Lake

“I was so thankful Rhea came through for me. I have two Indian Star tortoises. She fed them and changed their liner while I was away. She was super about checking in with me and sending a picture after she completed the feeding and cleaning You rock Rhea!”

About: I am looking to add light to my life in spite of current events by helping others in my community and bonding with your fur babies! I'm free in the eavnings most days and fully available Mondays and Tuesdays. Schedules may be accommodated if reached out to 2 weeks in advance. I live with my mom and uncle who love dogs and we all guarantee to provide the highest quality of care. I have two cats who enjoy the outside in our yard and have come with us on fun adventures like camping trips. So they are very open to change.

About: I've grown up in a home full of animals and have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with Shetland Sheepdogs and have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I've cared for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, so I understand that every stage of life comes with different needs. What matters most to me is getting to know each animal as an individual. Some pets are energetic and playful, while others are shy, independent, or need a little extra patience and reassurance. I take the time to understand their personalities, routines, and boundaries so they feel safe and comfortable. I'm experienced with everyday care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining familiar routines. I understand that pets are family, and I treat their care with the same attentiveness and responsibility I'd want for my own. I'm an aspiring full time artist with a flexible work schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I'm typically available daily between 11 AM and 8 PM, with some flexibility depending on my schedule. I'm happy to coordinate in advance to accommodate your pet's routine and make sure they receive consistent, attentive care! My preference is to care for pets in their own home, where they're most familiar and comfortable with their surroundings and routines. I'm happy to follow detailed instructions and take the time to learn each pet's individual needs, habits, and preferences. I believe communication is important, so I'll always ask questions if I'm unsure about something rather than make assumptions. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you're away. I'm also open to caring for pets in my own home when it's a good fit. I have a spacious, private grassy yard that my own dogs enjoy throughout the day. Please note that the yard is not fenced, so outdoor time would always be supervised and handled according to your pet's needs and safety requirements.

“Jessie was great! She took great care of my babies, communicated with me throughout my trip, and my very shy cats warmed up to her and came out of hiding when she came over!”

“Being new the area we're glad we met Richie. Flexible and accommodating are two words that come to mind. Our "girls" look forward to his afternoon visits and we have piece of mind knowing we can count on him”

“Jessica is awesome! Our cat absolutely loves her. She's great to communicate with and very accomodating. I will continue to rebook with her :)”

About: I’m a dependable, caring pet lover who understands that pets are part of the family. I’ll treat your pets like my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and playtime while keeping their normal routines in mind. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away. I am available early mornings, mid-mornings, afternoons and evenings :) I will do my best to work with your time and day requests as a daily, weekly, or on-call request. I care for every pet based on their individual needs, personality, and normal routine. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of attention and affection. I’m happy to follow any special instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, or favorite activities. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can relax knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

“Jen did drop in visits for us with our cat while we were on vacation and kept her well fed and cuddled. She was reliable and trustworthy. We received daily photos to reassure us she was doing well. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We’re very grateful to have found her to care for our cat so we could relax on vacation.”

About: Although most of my formal rescue work has been with cats, dogs have always been part of my life too. I adopted my Shiba Inu in 2019, and caring for him as he’s aged has given me real-world experience with senior dog needs. He’s now 11+ with a heart condition that requires medication twice a day, and I handle all of his care — nail trims, baths, daily walks, and occasional vet‑prescribed injections for arthritis. He’s taught me so much about patience, routine, and gentle medical handling. Beyond my own dog, I’ve helped care for many dogs belonging to friends and family, each with their own personality and quirks. I’ve worked with a loud, high-energy Red Heeler; several bold little “Napoleon” Chihuahuas; a nervous, skeptical Dachshund; a giant, gentle German Shepherd; multiple Boston Terriers; a super-smart, high-energy Poodle/Yorkie mix; and a regal Doberman Pinscher. These dogs have given me hands-on experience with everything from anxious and spicy temperaments to confident, goofy, or highly intelligent behavior. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs — playing fetch, going for long walks, or even tackling a strenuous hike. Having a good dog as a companion makes those moments even better. I may be a cat specialist by profession, but I’m a dedicated dog owner by heart, and I bring that same love, attentiveness, and adaptability to every dog I look after. Every day I take care of my own personal and foster animals (cats and 1 dog) and then start making my rounds to feed the local feral colonies. Pet care is my life, not just my routine. There isn't a day that goes by where I am not caring for animals. I will happily comply with my client's instructions about the routine for their pet. I am comfortable giving treats, playing, petting, going on walks/hikes/car rides, feeding, brushing, and crating. I understand that animals thrive on consistency and I am able to provide that for them.

“Giovanna is absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our two dogs and communicated with us the whole time we were away. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have had dogs, cats, puppies in my life since I was born. I have had the pleasure of training all types of dogs in many different areas. When I was younger my family used to always take trips up to Marthas Vineyard, we always had to leave our dogs at a kennel which we realized later on was not the best thing to do for our dogs. Emotionally/mentally we could tell it had taken a toll on them, so we started leaving them home with Pet Sitters. That was the best decision we had made. I want to be able to provide the same love and care that our pet sitters have provided in the past, but for your pet! Im currently working privately as a Personal Trainer and a Hypnotherapist Practitioner so my schedule is quite flexible. I also offer Reiki for both people and pets (Dogs, Cats, Horses)!!! I don’t typically board pets but would be willing to work with someone if the situation was right. I am also willing and able to crate your pet if thats something you do in your home!

“Gabbi was great! My little cat loved her, she was attentive to all details, and she even got some amazing action pics of him during playtime!”

About: Dogs and cats have been a part of my life since I was a baby. I have experience with many type of dog breeds from Shepherds, Dobermans, Keeshonds, Malamutes, Golden Retrievers, Labrador retrievers, beagles, etc. Dogs have always been part of my family and my everyday life. I am a mommy to two Keeshonds, Cuda and Chili, who are twins - fraternal twins. They will be 8 years old in November. Having dogs all my life has taught me that every dog has their own personality, needs, routines, quirks, and a way of communicating. I pay attention to those little things. When your dog is in my care, I want you to feel the same thing I feel when someone cares for mine: "My dog is safe. My dog is loved. My dog is in good hands." I have hands-on experience with everyday responsibilities that come with caring for dogs, including giving oral medication. I give both my dogs medication. I understand medication isn't something to casually overlook-it requires attention, consistency, and responsibility. I also have experience taking care of dogs who have anxiety (as my Cuda has that) and senior dogs (that need extra attention) I don't want to simply "walk your dog." I want to get to know your dog: their personality, routines, what makes them comfortable, what makes them nervous, their favorite things, and most importantly, what makes them feel safe. I believe pets deserve love, care, patience, kindness, and individual attention - whether I'm taking them for a walk, spending time with them in your home, or simply making sure they're comfortable while you're away. My promise to you: I will care for your furbaby with the same attention, patience, and love I would want someone to give my two furbabies- Cuda and Chili. Because to me, your dog isn't "just a dog." They're someone's best friend. They're someone's family. And while they're in my care, I'll treat them that way always. I am currently working part-time so I have plently of time to take care of your pets. I am available Monday - Friday from 4:15 to 8 pm. Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 3 pm. Individual attention, exercise and plenty of affection. Potty breaks, meals, fresh water, medication and companionship. Keeping your pet comfortable in their environment they are familiar with. Tell me your preferences. What do you feel comfortable with?

About: I have worked for a company where a strict protocol was needed to be followed regarding watching any animal. Between walks,feeding, medicine etc I would follow when caring for your pet along with having my own at home. My husband is also a trainer as well so we have experience with almost every breed and temperament ! I am home 24/7 so I would have all day home with your furry friend. I can do long term or short term and I am also very flexible and respond quick ! Not only Will I be giving your furry friend love and attention but I have two pups that love to run and play who will also be able too! They get along with everyone and are super playful!

“Joseph always goes above and beyond as a pet sitter. He is an incredibly good communicator and I know that my dog is being well loved and taken care of under Joseph’s care. My dog is very active and still has lots of puppy energy, but Joseph remains patient with him and makes sure that my dog can safely get his energy out.”

About: Animals have always been at the heart of my life, and I bring both professional shelter experience and personal pet sitting expertise to every visit. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies and kittens to seniors needing extra patience and medication. My background at the New Fairfield/Sherman Animal Welfare shelter gave me hands-on training in daily care, enrichment, and health monitoring, while my 3+ years as a trusted in-home pet sitter taught me the importance of consistency, communication, and lots of love. I have a flexible schedule. I'm available in the mornings, afternoons and evenings during the week/weekend. I can also provide overnight pet sitting as needed. I always schedule a meet and greet with the pet owner before beginning services. I confirm with them how they would like me to care for their pet.
