About: I’ve been owned by cats since I was a little kid. I’ve had everything from 4 week old orphans to several seniors that lived to 23 years old. The only time I’ve not had cats was 2 years in the military. I just lost my last love in June - she started as a feral that became the most loving girl I’ve ever known. I’ve bathed cats, trimmed nails, emptied litter boxes and cleaned up every thing imaginable! I currently work part time but am home by 1 every day. I used to devote my off time with my last cat to cuddles, play time and deep conversations with her! I have an apartment and lifestyle that is very cat friendly. Nothing is off limits to any pets-bed, furniture etc. are all for play and comfort.
“As always, Patricia was amazing and so great with my cats. She gives my elderly cat medication on time and my shy cat warmed right up to her. I hope to always be able to book her!”
About: Experienced pet owner who loves to run around with pups in the yard. From cats to horses, I've cared for all sizes of pets since I was little. Fetch and play time are already a big part of my weekly schedule and would love to have another friend join my little one. I love lazy cuddle time while watching TV but also know exercise is critical to a pets wellbeing! I have a huge fenced backyard where my dogs love to hangout and play. They would love company as the dog park and new friends are one of their favorite things and they get along with every other dog and person they have met
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, bunnies, and birds. Growing up with different types of animals taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who need structured walks and play, to smaller animals that require gentle handling and consistency. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and mood to make sure every pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable. I currently have open availability, which allows me to be flexible and fully accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can adjust my schedule to fit their needs. Because I’m not rushing between commitments, I’m able to give each pet focused, unhurried attention during every visit. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. My approach is always needs-based, meaning I follow your pet’s routine closely and adjust to their personality. whether they need lots of interaction or a calm, low-key presence.
“Isabel was amazing, she was consistent and was great at communicating. Isabel goes above and beyond checking on your beloved pet, she even tidys up, sweeps etc in which was not required to do. I so appreciated the wonderful care and attention she gave my Seamus.”
About: My first job was pet sitting and dog walking, and I've loved caring for animals ever since! As a Connecticut local, I know many great walking trails and currently walk about 4 miles a day, so your pup will get plenty of exercise and adventure. I'm also a proud cat parent to two cats, one of whom I adopted after volunteering at an animal shelter for three years during college. I'd love to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, personalized care. I naturally build pet care into my daily routine—I love spending my evenings going for walks and relaxing with my cat, and I always make time for play, exercise, and one-on-one attention. Whether your pet needs an active adventure or a calm companion, I'm happy to adapt to their routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Creating a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment for every pet is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and social cues so I can approach them in a way that helps them feel safe and at ease. I never rush introductions—instead, I let pets warm up at their own pace and learn what makes them happiest, whether that's playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having calm companionship. In my home, I make safety a priority by ensuring all of my plants are pet-safe and that there are no hazards or unsafe items within reach. I also have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. As a pet owner myself and a former shelter volunteer, I understand the importance of providing a secure, enriching environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved.

Lynn is very pleasant, attentive, and reliable.
