“Terri was wonderful with my two cats. She sent photos and I could tell they were in good hands. Very responsive and excellent communication. Would definitely recommend.”

“Saori took exceptionally good care of our cats and dog while we were traveling. Each visit was well documented and our pets were shown lots of attention and love. Saori kept us updated on anything unexpected while we were away and communicated extremely well throughout our trip! I feel so lucky to have found such a reliable pet sitter and would absolutely recommend her.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds from as early as I can remember. Being the oldest of my siblings I was the first to have to take on the pet care chores, and this included both our dogs and our cats, and the other types of animals we had in our household. I have pet care experience with dogs and cats, as well as other pets too. When I moved out on my own with my previous partner (2012-2017) we had adopted three rescued cats, and I was the main administer of the diabetic cat’s insulin and late IV fluid treatments. My ex kept our cats in the split, but in 2018 I adopted my first dog completely on my own. She’s a rescue pit bull mix and now, with my current husband, she is joined by another rescued pit bull mix and a rescued cat. Last year we also adopted a red ear slider turtle off the street in Philadelphia and he now enjoys his aquatic terrarium with his guppy and pleco friends. In 2023 I briefly worked for a dog walking company in Ridgefield and was bit by one of the client’s dogs, unprovoked, and because of that I left the service after being blamed for the outburst and attack (despite telling the owners and the employer that the dog was getting increasingly aggressive with me and I wasn’t comfortable walking him anymore). It was the only time I had ever had an animal turn on me like that and it made me rethink working for a service where I wasn’t listened to or given proper protection. My husband and I have been Rover clients since we moved to Connecticut in 2023 and I am very happy to say we have never had a negative experience, which is why I have decided to lend my services to other pets and families in the area that are in need of an experienced pet caretaker. I am a professional actor so I have days that are marked off for auditions and work or rehearsals, however it is not a consistent time or place. I work throughout the Northeast, NYC, and the Mid Atlantic currently with my acting opportunities, but I am also open to short term travel as well. Because of that, my availability is very open some weeks and not as much on others, depending on what projects I am currently involved in and what the scheduling is like. I would love to spend more time your pets in my downtime and give them the attention they require, since mine are pretty saturated in it regularly. I have two dogs, which are extremely friendly and love other dogs, people, and cats! Our cat is very aloof so they wouldn’t be seen much in cases where pet sitting at my home is needed. Our yard is not fenced in but I am very accustomed to taking them out for walks, or having them leashed under my supervision in our yard. Because I live in Newtown, there are plenty of places to get some quality walks in, and we are also not far from open public dog parks either if that suits your furry friend! I also have my own car which I am more than comfortable transporting your pet in or coming to you for check ins or walks. Our dogs are up to date on vaccines so that is not a worry either, and I am diligent in making sure everyone has a great time when their friends (and our human friends) are over too!

“Ian did a wonderful job with my dogs. He was so calm and caring with them, they took to him immediately. He also gave a timely & thorough report of his visit with them. Thanks Ian!!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, patience, and genuine love I bring to every pet I work with. I don’t just “watch” animals—I build trust with them and treat them like my own. My experience as a caregiver has really shaped how attentive and compassionate I am, especially when it comes to understanding different needs and personalities. I also have fostering experience, which has taught me how to work with pets who may be anxious, shy, or adjusting to new environments. Because of that, I’m very comfortable helping animals feel safe and supported. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I can help reinforce basic training, routines, and positive behaviors. With senior pets, I’m extra gentle, patient, and attentive to things like mobility, medications, and comfort. Overall, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone you can truly trust with your pet. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am unavailable mondays and Wednesdays but available all day on Saturday and Sunday. I can work after 4:30pm on Tuesday Thursday and Friday :) Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or stopping by for visits, I do everything I can to make the experience feel calm, consistent, and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and playtime. I make sure doors are secure, hazards are avoided, and your pet is always supervised and safe. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. I’m very attentive to behavior and body language, which helps me quickly notice if something feels off. My background as a caregiver has made me especially detail-oriented, patient, and calm in any situation. Cleanliness is also very important to me—I keep feeding areas, litter boxes, and living spaces clean and comfortable at all times. Overall, I aim to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels relaxed and cared for, and where you can have complete peace of mind.

“Madison did such a great job! Appreciate all the text and updates. Will be using you again soon! Thank you.”

“Annmarie took care of our two cats while we were away for the holidays. She did a great job taking care of them, kept their litter boxes tidy, and was communicative and helpful throughout our time away. She helped us out by bringing in packages, alerting us to a beeping sound in our boiler room, and keeping our kitties cared for. We will definitely hire her again!”

Dianne D.

“Rachel was awesome and kept us updated while we were gone and appreciate all the love she gave our cats. It allowed us to enjoy our trip without stressing about our two cats.”

Carrie S.

“Lindsey is the best with our pup! Always sends great updates and gives our dog the care and exercise she loves! Will continue to recommend and rebook.”

“Isabelle is a special caregiver. We hired her. To help care for our 2 German Shepherds, one of which is recovering from brain surgery to remove a tumor. With that, her and her partner have provided amazing care and shown love , compassion and patience to our guy. I highly recommend her if you need someone to provide that extra level of support.”

About: I've loved to cat and dog sit for my neighbors, friends, and extended family since I was young. I'm sensitive to different pets' needs and have always had a way of connecting with more timid and distrustful animals. I also have over 10 years of experience caring for and working with horses, so I'm comfortable with handling larger animals. I’m super outdoorsy so I’m always happy to take your pets out on a hike or little adventure. I used to take my aunt’s dog out to hike, camp, and swim in rivers! I’ve just graduated from college, so I have a completely open schedule! I’ll be able to go on walks multiple times a day, hang out and play in the house, and give them all the attention they need. I won’t be having your pets stay in my house, but I’m comfortable coming into your living space and accommodating your pets in their home environment. I can stay overnight in my own house or yours, whatever’s easiest!

About: I’ve helped care for eight family dogs throughout my life, so I’m very comfortable around different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and understand how important it is to keep pets safe and comfortable. I’m available on weekends with flexible hours, and I’m also available every weekday after 2 PM. This allows me to give your dog plenty of attention in the afternoons and evenings, whether that’s for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. I will always communicate clearly about scheduling When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I also give lots of attention and supervision so they feel safe while you’re away.

About: I have 2 labs (1 lab German Shepard mix and 1 lab), who love to play and romp around, as well as the finer things in life like relaxation.My working schedule allows me to work from home full time, huge plus for the pups and kiddos. We travel about once a year for 2 weeks, and mostly spend our time in town as our boys do sports. I was a dog walker and sitter for 2 years in college, had a dog growing up as a child and I’ve rescued and adopted 5 pups with my husband. Since I'm use to the early mornings, walking the fur babies early is not a problem. I believe a tired dog is a happy dog and I try to make sure they get as much play time and attention as needed. Treating the fur babies as family members, means they have their beds, own couch, toys and free range in our house.

About: Since childhood, I’ve owned multiple dog breeds, cats, rabbits, and birds.

I volunteer in an animal assisted therapy program that caters to children with special needs, in addition to my career as a hairstylist. 🐶 🦮 🐾 I will be caring for your animals in your home, walking them outside in your neighborhood, or at a local park if you’re comfortable. I’m currently unable to care for or board any other animals in my own home.

“Anne was super easy to work with and did a great job checking in my cats while I was away! She sent pictures and even managed to coax out my anxious cat which I really did not expect at all. She did some playing with my friendlier girl and made sure all their needs were taken care of. I really appreciate having her stop in and I know that the next time I need a sitter I'll book Anne again! Thank you!”

About: As a dog lover for as long as I can remember, I truly enjoy expanding my caregiving services to others. My household has raised many types of breeds, from German shepherds to golden retrievers to miniature schnauzers. For the last 10 years, I’ve cared for my close friends’ and neighbors’ dogs for their vacations and trips, and would like to offer my services to those who are looking for peace of mind while away! I live very close to a state park for long walks, a fenced in pool area, and spacious backyard. Since my yard is not fenced in, I allow the dogs to roam freely within the pool area or take multiple walks per day in my neighborhood. I also understand what it’s like to worry about my pups while traveling, and would love to be the sense of relief for your four-legged family members! I currently work part-time and my daily schedule tends to vary; however, your pet is my priority before and after my scheduled shift. I understand the importance of consistency in a dog’s routine and will try to stick to it as closely as possible. A lot of love. Additionally, as someone who loves the outdoors, I am happy to host or take care of pets who need a lot of exercise. In terms of safety, I never let them off leash unless the area is fenced in.

About: Big dogs and little dogs are all happy dogs. I enjoy taking care of and spending time with animals. I have had experience since my childhood I will be more active in my life physically walking them and taking care of them. It’s a perfect job cute animals and taking care of them for money. It’s perfect. I will take the best care of your pet at your home. Just let me know if they need something or have a certain routine and I got it!
