House Sitting in Quinebaug

“Hello, thanks for reaching out! I cannot speak more highly of Kate. I have known her for about 15 years now and she is one of the most caring people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, the way she loves animals is inspiring. From short term fostering puppies on their way to a forever home, to long term fostering senior dogs making sure they have the best last years of their life. She truly cares about animals and I think she would be a great addition to your team!”

“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”

“Julie did a great job with the boys. She cleaned up after her self and took time to brush the dogs. Three Newfoundlands can be challenging she did great.”

“Katie is such a caring person! She is very in tune with Daisy’s looks and schedule. She keeps us updated with funny pictures and stories. She is the best!”

“Kayla has watched my home and two pups, twice. She is great! Always keeps us informed and send pics. We had a stress free vacation with Kayla watching our home and fur babies!”

“This is the second time we have asked Catherine to watch our dog and cat. And we would definitely ask her a third, fourth, fifth, and so on because she is wonderful caring for them! We had no worries being out of town and know that they are in good hands with Catherine. Anybody seeking Catherine's help to watch their pets will not be disappointed. Thank you so much!! - M&N”

“Stacy was very thorough in reviewing care instructions for my two pups and made sure to text me with updates throughout the weekend. She was very accommodating to one of my pups who is more nervous with strangers, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I need dog care!”

“Jess did a great job taking care of our dogs and cat while we were away. She spent a lot of time with them and gave us updates every day. She was responsible and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.”

“James & Reichel did a fantastic job with our furbaby, Oscar. They were always responsive and prompt, and we would definitely hire them again!”

“Amy was great with our dogs. She was able to meet and bond with them ahead of time and that really helped when she came back to be with them. She provided us with regular updates and the dogs seemed really happy while she was with them. It was the first time we left them for more than a day trip so it was nice to know they were being well taken care of.”

“Derek was very responsive and very flexible with how short-notice our request was. Was willing to learn about cat asthma and how to handle it if an attack occurred, which we greatly appreciated as that was a major concern for us. Overall very chill and got some great photos!”

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life and can't imagine my life without them. I will treat your animals with as much love and compassion as my own pets. I am available any weekday after 4:00 and anytime on the weekend. My availability is greater during the summer since I work at a school. I will follow your instructions with the greatest care and I will do everything I can to make your pet feel safe and happy. Can't wait to meet your furry friends!

About: I grew up on a farm and have always been surrounded by animals! I have a 25 lb terrier who I rescued 4 years ago and she is my little sidekick! I have a special place in my heart for rescues and am well versed in caring for shy, submissive/anxiety prone animals. I will care for your pets like they are my own! And will make sure they are always safe with lots of affectionate, attention and love. I'm currently working full time remotely but am available to pet sit at my home. Daily walks can be arranged after 4:30pm, Monday through Friday, as that is when my workday ends. I live in a townhouse complex and would take your pet on leashed walks every 3 to 4 hours. My dog Rosie would be your pet's companion all day. I also have a dog crate if your pet needs to be crated. But your pet can also roam free around the house as they feel comfortable and will have plenty of dog beds to choose from.

“Matthew was wonderful with my 2 dogs. One can be feisty, rude, and standoffish, but Matthew was patient with him and won him over. Thank you so much for helping and we will definitely be in touch again!”

“I’ve know Tiff for many years and she’s always pulled through last minute when we need help with our boxer, Charlie. He’s clumsy and hyper and she handles him well. I’m in the military and my wife is a nurse. Both of us work long hours and have infrequent work schedules. She’s been able to help us with last minute dog walking and short notice over night sitting. I would recommend her to any close friends or family who need help with their pets.”

“Madie was very sensitive to my dog's separation anxiety. She did a good job caring for my dog and the house. She cuddled with her and spent time outside playing with Skye. I felt very relieved knowing that Skye was well cared for. I would have her care for Skye, my dog anytime.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, big, small and special needs. Family, friends and neighbors have always counted on me to pet sit. I have many repeat boarders. *Update: I recently rescued a puppy. So a meet and greet with your pet is a must! I work M-F 7:30- 1:00 during the school year. Pets are allowed full access to my home while I’m away. I offer many different options to keep them busy during the day, snuffle mats, lick mats, puzzles and plenty of toys. I can crate your dog , if needed, or leave in a gated area. When your pet is here they are treated like our own. I have bowls, blankets, toys, treats and beds. All you have to pack is food! Check out my all my photos of the happy pups that have stayed with me.

“Tiffanie was incredible! I was gone for a week vacation & I got plenty of updates, pictures and funny messages from her. She was professional, courteous, friendly & great with the cats. She truly made me feel comfortable leaving and not having to worry knowing that she was taking care of them. I would highly recommend her for anyone!”

“Nicole is an enthusiastic animal lover known for her gentle touch, welcoming demeanor, and active lifestyle. She not only responsibly cares for her own pets but also goes the extra mile to ensure the well-being and comfort of others' pets. Her skill in training animals adds to her qualities as a reliable and caring caregiver.”

About: I am a 25-year-old working professional, looking to get my dog fill during the week and make some extra income. I have my own dog, a shih tzu, who is now a senior at the ripe age of 14! I adore her (and all dogs) as if they were my children. I've had the pleasure of watching/caring for/walking many dogs throughout my years and look forward to continuing to do so. I've also worked with bunnies and other small breed animals. I've also had the pleasure of caring for many dogs through Rover - from smaller breeds, to larger. I hope you will consider me to care for your dog(s)! Please note that I do work 8am-5pm during the week but am open to stopping by after work (after 5pm) and am usually free weekends and holidays. I currently work full-time but am able to assist after 5PM and/or on weekends! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me to discuss availability. I am most comfortable with keeping dogs leashed, but okay with unleashing if on private, fenced-in property. Additionally, open to crating dogs (as long as they are not aggressive) and giving hugs!
