About: Hi!! My name is Kimberly and I love your pets the same way I do to mine. I have a 6-year-old Pomeranian named Ozzie. I live in Shelton CT which has many different walking trains. The beach is where I like to walk the most. My availability is every day after 12:00 but my schedule is very flexible. I'm mainly at home during my free time so your dog or cat wouldn't be left alone, I also have all holidays off. If you are on a trip or planning one this summer, I work a part-time job from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. In the summer, I spend most of my downtime on my deck outside. I'd love to meet and watch your dogs and cats! I hope to hear back from you! :) I am available on Weekdays and weekends for boarding! On workdays, I normally leave at about six in the morning and return around 12 in the afternoon. I have a camera in the house that I can use to keep an eye on them during that time.!! I want to make your pets just as comfortable at my home so they feel welcomed and safe! They can sleep where ever they are most comfortable.

About: I’m bilingual in Spanish and English, responsible, and detail‑oriented — the kind of sitter who treats every dog like family. Whether your pet needs active play, gentle companionship, or structured care, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and well‑looked‑after while you’re away. I return for a longer walk or play session, focusing on exercise, stimulation, and behavior checks. I make sure they get movement, attention, and reassurance while their owners are away. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where every dog can relax and feel protected. My approach focuses on pet safety, consistent routines, and a calm atmosphere that helps dogs feel at ease. I make sure all spaces are secure, free of hazards, and set up with fresh water, cozy resting areas, and room for play.

“Karina was awesome!! Our usual dog sitter fell through just a day before a night away, and Karina was quick to respond, and flexible even with the last minute booking. She sent a bunch of videos which were much appreciated, and showed Ruth was having a great time with her dogs and other visitors. You could tell Karina really knew what she was doing and good at introducing new dogs into the mix. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I grew up with a German Shepherd, so I’m familiar with the care, attention, and patience that dogs need. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping dogs on their usual routine. I’m responsible, attentive, and will make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I can work with your pet’s routine for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m happy to communicate with you throughout the stay so you know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet and home with care, respect, and responsibility. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routines and any specific instructions you provide, while making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’ll also keep your home clean and secure and communicate with you regularly so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

“I cannot say enough good things about Destiny. My sister originally booked Destiny to watch her dog with special needs during my wedding weekend. After reading her reviews, I asked if she could watch my two labs during the reception and overnight and she happily agreed. She also agreed to watch my sister-in-laws dog at the last minute, truly saving the day. She sent pictures of all the dogs and they looked like they were having a great time which put me at ease. She was also able to feed my "nephew" his pills with no issue which is not an easy feat. Finally, she continued to be flexible with our changing schedule and when we were late picking up the dogs because my car decided to die! If we lived closer to the area, Destiny would be my go-to. My mom and sister live in New York City and they already said they definitely intend to rebook. I really cannot thank her enough. Her backyard was perfect for the dog and the house was well kept. I had no concern leaving my girls there.”

“Yajaira is an absolutely amazing dog sitter! ❤️ She was so accommodating and made time for a meet-and-greet, which was extremely important to me because I am very particular about who I trust with my dog after she experienced an injury while at a previous boarding facility. From the moment I met Yajaira, I felt comfortable with her. She has such a warm, kind, and beautiful personality, and I immediately knew she would be a great fit. My dog felt comfortable around her from the very beginning, which gave me even more reassurance. On the very first day, Yajaira sent me pictures and videos of my dog eating, playing, and going on walks. Those updates meant so much to me and truly put my heart at ease knowing she was happy, safe, and being well taken care of. She paid close attention to my dog's feeding schedule, routine, and individual needs. You can genuinely tell that Yajaira has a true passion for caring for animals. She is warm, attentive, responsible, and incredibly caring. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your fur baby, I highly recommend Yajaira! You can book with her knowing that both your mind and heart will be at peace. 🐾❤️”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My first dog was an Alaskan husky and I have walked him, fed him, and bathed him. Throughout the years I have taken in 2 more dogs and have given them the same care as my first dog. I also have extensive experience taking care of other pet animals such as quails and rabbits and watching my aunts dogs whenever she goes on vacation. I can fit dog walking, sitting, and/or caring into my schedule at anytime! I am super flexible in regards to time and place. For dog grooming, I am available after 5pm Monday through Friday, anytime on weekends :) I feed my dogs 3 times a day, and give them treats as a reward for positive reinforcement. I also bathe them once a week & take them walking right after they are done eating. I have taken care of my aunts dogs by staying in her home or caring for them in my home. I have services such as dog beds, leashes, different kinds of dog food and treats, and a few clothes!

“Kiayla did an incredible job taking care of our cat Lychee during the two weeks we were traveling abroad. Lychee had a stress related accident in the car just as we dropping him off at her place but Kiayla took it in stride and let us use her bathroom to give him a bath immediately. She was patient with him when he had another accident the next day and responsive over messages as we were trying to figure out what to do. Thankfully that was the worst of it and Lychee settled right in after that and made himself right at home! When I went to pick him up two weeks later he looked so happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Very grateful to Kiayla for the love and care she has given our kitty - would highly recommend her to anyone else looking to board their pets!!”

“Anne-Marie and Steve are truly wonderful people with a genuine love for dogs. From the moment we dropped off our fur baby at their home, we felt at ease knowing he was in caring hands. They kept us updated regularly, reassuring us that he was safe, happy, and well-loved while we were away. Since our dog requires daily grooming and a bit of extra care, it meant the world to us to know he was in such attentive and capable hands. We deeply appreciate the love and dedication they showed, treating him as if he were their own. Thank you, Anne-Marie and Steve—we are so grateful!”

About: I've been a chorkie mom for 15 years and I'm happy to say Pinky is still going strong! I have 6 years of experience taking care of 2-3 dogs at a time for family and friends, including senior dogs who require a little more care and affection. I love spending any free time I have playing with and caring for animals. I'm a part-time registered nurse. During my off days, I am available to play and care with your fur babies. I am also available for boarding during the week and on weekends but will have to be notified ahead of time. Safety is my priority for pinky which will be the same for your dog. Spacious backyard with cameras surrounding the property. Dogs will not be left unattended at any moment while outside. Out of an abundance of caution, dogs in my care will get an apple air tag attached to their collar. Kitchen counter tops and table will be cleared during their stay to avoid anything potentially harmful.

She did activities with the dogs every day including taking them on hikes, playing with toys, and running on her huge farm. I never worried about Daphne the whole time we were gone because Rachael took great care of her and sent photos and videos of her everyday to keep us updated! Rachael is the best!”

About: My name is Katiana Thoby and I have been dog sitting since 2017. I am able to watch your cute pets any time of the week (unless the day is marked off)! You will love my patience, kindness, and affection towards the dog. I've watched my friends' dogs before and learned how to work with them and take care of them properly. I enjoyed playing some games like fetch and running around with them. Since my parents don't like animals, I can't have my own dog. When I have my own house, I want a dog of my own so this will be a good experience for me. Thank you and I hope to work with you soon.. I am currently working full time so I will be available to dog sit on the weekends or tuesdays after 5:30pm! Just let me know in advance and I can open a booking for you. I will be available on some holidays but I will let you know in advance! Please make sure to book at least two days in advance. That way, I can make sure I don’t have any other appointments that day. I may accommodate some last minute bookings if I am available the whole stay period. Most of the time, they stay indoors and I attend to them as much as possible! They will be fed on the times provided and well taken care of! If you would like me to provide a bath as well, please let me know. I love playing with them so I usually bring your pets to the park as long as the owner is okay with it (also provides a leash)!

Caring, attentive, and detail oriented. These are the words I would use to describe Allyson and her husband, who made a very panicky dog with big separation anxiety issues feel at ease and at home. I received regular updates, and she was very well taken care of during her stay. Would and will book this sitter again!

Our dogs, Luna and Billie, seemed to have a terrific time with Nadine and Daniel. This is the second time they have stayed with them and we couldn't be happier. The girls bounded in and seemed happy to be back. Great communication, lots of walks, pictures and updates. Will happily use them again in the future!!
