About: Experienced with senior pets, medication administration and individualized attention. Patient, reliable, and committed to keeping your pet safe, happy and loved. Senior Pet Care Experience. I am happily retired at a young age and have scheduling flexibility. Retired and home full-time, offering flexible availability for walks, visits, boarding (at your own home) and reliable care. I always provide a very caring and individualized environment. Each pet should be evaluated individually to ensure their specific needs are met, supported and reached.
“Katie is very patient with my pup and understands her attachment to me. It takes Bella a while to settle and enjoy her self and Katie is perfect for this. She always ensured me its not a problem and she takes care of it. This is her 2nd time keeping Bella, thus time Katie was more forthcoming with updates then the first time, which I loved. But in her defense she also had a injured arm in a high anxiety pup. So I really understood it, did not let it bother me, because I know where her focus was.And I appreciated that, but when I did reach out to her, she immediately sent me a response back and updates. Bella loves walks and she was great at walking her a few times a day. I will be going away soon and hope Katie is available to keep her. Thank you Katie.”


“Mikayla and Justin were incredible! They took such great care of my GSP Goose and sent very detailed and organized updates on how he was doing and made sure to get him an ample amount of exercise everyday. He looked so happy! Also they were extremely understanding and flexible when I had to pick him up a little late due to my return flight getting delayed. Will definitely be using them again!”


“Pam was great. She posted a lot of pictures to let us know Luna was having fun and communicated daily. You could tell she had a lot of experience with dogs and with petting sitting/boarding. We would definitely use Pam again for the next time we go out of town.”
About: I am a Marine and Army veteran with a passion for dogs. I love all dogs no matter what size they are. I’m a decent sized guy so hyperactive or stronger dogs are no problem for me. The more playful, the better. If your pet loves to run, I’ll run right along with them. If your pet is more inclined to be on the inside, I’ll be right there. I’ll take care of all needs. Please Note: Although I love all pets especially dogs, I’m unfortunately allergic to cats. My most available times are on the weekend but I am also available during the week and can fit almost any time into my schedule. I will provide your pet with all the attention they’ll need plus more. I will be able to take them on walks around your neighborhood, play games with them, feed them, and give them their needed bathroom breaks. The house rules you have established for them will be maintained at all times.
“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 take care of my friends and neighbors pets (boarding) for them to go on vacation. They have peace of mind that they are in a safe and loving place I’m currently working part time and close to home. I have plenty of time to play and care for your pet. I’m able to provide various potty breaks, and follow eating schedules, morning and afternoon walks I have a fence yard and I live close by parks and nice places to walk and provide the right amount of exercise that your pet needs.
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.”

About: My love for my own pets inspired me to continue working with animals during college! With a major in psychology and a goal of working with therapy animals in the future, I love learning and growing as much as I can. I have multiple years of professional experience in animal shelters, and a therapy animal program! I'm hoping to spend more time gaining experience working with animals. Not only is it enjoyable to hangout with furry friends, but it will be beneficial to my future career working in animal assisted therapy! I recognize that every animal is different with their own little personality. Hearing from owners about their recommendations, and getting to know the animal has never failed!
“We were extremely happy with our experience! Ryan was knowledgeable and attentive to our dog. We received many updates and pictures while we were away which we really appreciated. He was even willing to bathe him after a run in with a mud puddle. 😅 We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”

“I had to fly back to Montana and was not able to bring my fur babies. Lilly and her husband took such great care of both my fur babies. I would highly recommend using them. As I will be using them again.”

“Luci is and was Amazing. She treated my puppy Treasure like part of the Family. I will continue to ask Luci to take care of Treasue as long as she'll have him. I want to Thank Her over and over for giving me piece of mind while I was Away.”

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!!

Stefanie and her family were so wonderful with my dog Winnie. They sent me photos of her having a great time every day and I felt so comforted knowing she was safe and happy. In fact, Winnie had such an awesome time that she didn’t even want to leave when I came to pick her up! 😂❤️

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
