House Sitting In Shippan

“We highly recommend Elvia for your cat/house sitting needs! She took care of our cat Dolly and was able to meet all of Dolly’s hands-on needs including a very detailed and intensive feeding protocol. Elvia was very communicative and followed all of our instructions beautifully, and Dolly even began warming up to her despite being a very timid and shy kitty who takes time to trust.”

“Nicole took such good care of our two pups! They loved her. She took them on a lot of walks, gave them snuggles and sent us lots of pictures. We will definitely book with her again.”

“We had Donald watch our Irish setter for a week while we were away. He was absolutely amazing! Checked in very frequently, sent lots of photos, and went out on long walks. Would definitely recommend using Donald and will do so again!”

“Cinthia was amazing. She stayed overnight with my dog at my apartment and was super attentive and sent lots of pictures. She left the apartment very clean and my dog very happy. Nothing but positive things to say.”

AARON S.

“Emma is an incredible dog sitter. She is super confident in taking care of anyone’s dog, no matter what. Our dog is new to the family, so he still has some things to learn, but she had no problem taking care of him in our apartment for three nights. She’s super communicative, and put our minds at ease, since this was our first trip away from him. I would recommend to anyone. Thanks Emma!”

“If you want to leave your dogs with someone and never worry at all about their mental well-being, their feeding needs, their exercise then you need to hire Jesse as your sitter. He's taken my care of my dogs for many days and I will say there is no better. Not only were my dogs, completely relaxed and happy, but my house was also immaculate and every instruction was followed to the tee, including the complicated medical things that one of my dog needs to have followed. Jesse is all around the best I've had!”

Robin G.

“Shannon took excellent care of my girl Meera. She was wonderfully accommodating and had amazing communication throughout the process. Highly recommend!!”

James W.

“Hanaya was every bit as great as her reviews said she’d be. I have rebooked. Thank you!”

Susan J.

“Nicole stayed at my house and watched my German shepherd for a week and was great! House was left clean and my pup was very happy and well taken care of!”

Ola F.

“Have had Nicole housesit twice with us. Each time she is prompt, extremely communicable, and able to navigate not only complicated instructions for each of our two dogs, but also how complicated our house is with codes, alarms and construction workers. She looked after my middle-aged slow Bichon who needs constant food and attention and our new rescue dog who is 10lbs of energy and desperate to escape. She handled them both with grace and sent lots of pictures and videos. I am happy to know I don't have to worry now when I travel!”

About: I’m an avid animal lover and have been caring for pets since I was 6 years old. I grew up with three dogs and a cat and was always actively involved in their daily care, from walks, feedings, to playtime, and vet visits. I currently have two dogs who live in Florida with my parents, since moving to Connecticut for work I don’t get to see them as often as I’d like. That’s a big reason I’m excited to dog and cat sit — I truly miss having animals around and the joy they bring. I treat every fur baby like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I work a full time hybrid job with no requirement for being in office and also have half days on Fridays. If I need to be in office, I have an hour lunch break to allow for potty breaks and can flex my time to best accommodate your fur baby. If your pet is more comfortable staying at your house, I can drop by to let them out or stay over if that’s your preference. Whatever makes you and your fur babies the most comfortable. My roommate has a 1 year old Maltese Pomeranian named Dune, who is house trained and very sociable. There are space within my apartment where I can crate your pet away from my roommate Dune or I have space to have them roam if you prefer. I love to play around with animals if they like to play or I can hang around and read my books. Here to make your time away as stress free as possible.

“Chris did a great job taking care of my dogs while i was away on a work trip. We did a meet and greet beforehand where he asked a lot of good questions. During the stay he kept me closely updated on how my dogs were doing and sent a lot of pics which was nice. Would definitely recommend. Professional and a big dog lover.”

Rob T.

“Claire is absolutely the best dog sitter you could find. We came home from an extended trip to find out senior dog calm and happy after Claire’s overnight stays at our home. Claire sent photos, videos and text updates daily which were lovely and reassuring.”

Deborah M.

“LisaLeigh did a great job providing frequent text and photo updates so I knew how my puppers were doing”

Will B.

“Janine was wonderful with Archie! She came on short notice and took great care of our puppy! She sent pictures, kept us up to date on how he was doing (our first trip without him so we were anxious!) and was fantastic with Archie. Will be rebooking in the future and would recommend her to friends and family.”

Joey F.

“I am so glad we went with Katharine to take care of our dog while we were away. She was very thoughtful, caring and asked the right questions. You can most certainly trust Katharine with your pet, and home should you need care in the form of house sitting. Communicative and professional, we would look to hire again. She was terrific”

Bruce U.

“Great care of our pets as always! And great communication! We have asked Jessica to look after our pets many times and she has always gone a wonderful job.”

Eric O.

“Brandon completely went above and beyond to care for our two cats and home while we were gone for a week and a half! He asked thoughtful questions, followed all directions to a T, and often sent some greatly appreciated picture/video updates (and prompt responses). We were SO grateful to return home to find our cats in amazing spirits after clearly having some solid companionship, and to find our house exactly as we left it. Would absolutely book with him again!”

Laura J.

“Alyssa was awesome with Robbie! She was so reliable and communicative. We were away for the weekend and she sent updates and reassured us that he was happy and calm. He's an anxious dog, so we need a dog/house sitter who is able to establish a nice tone with him. We are so grateful for Alyssa!”

About: Pets have always been part of my family, so caring for them feels natural to me. As a young teenager I learned how important it is to give them consistent attention, love, and structure. Over the years I have taken on the responsibility and privilege of caring for folks’ pets while they traveled, making sure they felt safe and happy in their routine. I would love to offer that same peace of mind to others. Your pets will be treated like family, receiving steady companionship, playtime, and affection while you are away. I work early mornings as a bread baker, which means my afternoons and evenings are wide open for pet care. I have plenty of time during the hours most people are busy at work, so your pet will get attentive care, regular walks, and the companionship they need throughout the day. I have experience caring for pets in their homes and always follow each owner’s specific routine. However you care for your pets day to day, I will keep that same structure in place so they feel comfortable and secure while you are away.
