“Chrissie has been walking Summer for nearly 3 weeks now and has been a tremendous help in making sure Summer gets some exercise & TLC while I am at work. If you need someone to care for your pup while you're otherwise occupied, Chrissie is the best choice and will treat your dog like she's her own. I can't recommend her highly enough!”
About: Hello! My name is Kerin. My love for these 4, sometimes 3, legged k-9’s we call family! My love for them runs through my family’s blood as we have a dog rescue, Pooches Out Of Puerto Rico. As you can imagine I’ve worked with all sorts of dogs. Some totally goofy to some begin extremely aggressive due to fear or pain. You name it I’ve experienced it. There’s nothing I won’t do for these hairy family members. DM me so we can chat about scheduling you a vacation whether it’s a long, extravagant trip or a short sweet little trip. I’m your girl and can’t wait to hear from you! It doesn’t matter if you have a fence or not. I can take your dog/s out for walks or go to play parks. You tell me what they and it consider it already done! Of course expect some pictures while your away!
About: I grew up with two dogs in my house that I was the main care taker of. We have also had Guinea pigs and rabbits. My work schedule rotates. So I would be available different days In the week. My schedule will be updated on that app weekly for my current schedule I will care for your pets like they are my own. I enjoy meeting new pets and making them happy. Dog walks are my favorite!
“Ashley is a delight. She was very communicative and caring about our elderly dog with special needs. We only needed her to come and take him for a walk, but he is blind and deaf and also wears a diaper. She let us know when she got to our house and sent pictures afterwards. We felt very comfortable with her and will definitely be using her again.”
About: I have been around animals all my life. Born in the country, cows and horses are most common, but I’ve come to love having dogs, cats, and reptiles of my own! There has never been an animal I couldn’t warm up to, and I love getting to know every pets unique personality. I DO OWN PETS, I just am not offering boarding services or requesting sitting services so I would prefer not to share their details! I am always willing to move around my schedule to better fit my clients needs! I have a ride ai depend on for now while I’m learning to drive so I cannot be out too late unless I’m staying the night. I prefer to pet sit or walk pets at other homes, not my own, as I have a reactive dog with history of abuse, and she is not amicable with other pets.
About: My black lab-ish, Bizzy, recently passed away at age 13.5. He lived a full life: hiking, walking, eating, getting pets, sniffing all the things, traveling, being with adults and kids alike. I miss him every day. My husband had rescued him from the pound (before we met) so I got to be Bizzy's adopted mom for his adult and senior life. He is and will always be my Mr. Fuzzypants. He taught me so much about what it means to love unconditionally. To have an animal's love and trust is one of the highest honors. I also took care of Bear and Murphy (pictured) for weeks at a time, living at their home. Our friends ask me to feed their cats when they go on vacation. Recently, I got the chance to take care of Bizzy's cousin, Vinnie (no joke); initially, he was very anxious to leave his home and parents, by the end of the second day, you can see and feel a noticable difference. I love making animals feel peacefu and safe. My husband is a traveling Physical Therapist. We are in Sharon, CT through November. I recently resigned from my full time Project Management/Team Lead job of 15 years to travel with my husband. Besides household and meal prepping, I am flexible and available. I can come to your home to take care of your fur babies. I'll follow your instructions as to how you'd like to operate :)
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, presence, and attention I bring to every pet I look after. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility and availability to give pets consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are—especially when someone else is caring for a beloved pet. I’m naturally nurturing, detail-oriented, and communicative, which means you’ll always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every pet like part of the family, because to me, they truly are. I’m a stay at home mom of 2 wonderful animal adoring children. Because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. During their stay, your pet will experience all the best parts of our family just as if they were our own. When caring for your pets in a clients home, I do my best to adhere to all routines and schedules so the pets can feel as comfortable as possible. I will respect your home and keep everything clean, organized, and calm. I’m more than happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to provide a loving and safe environment for you and your pet so you can rest assured knowing that they are being taken care of to your standards.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for over 15 years. I pet sat many times as a child and continued through adulthood including, walking, feeding, administering medicine, baths & snuggles! I also volunteered at a local animal shelter as a dog walker. Currently 3 cats and a rambunctious German Shepard/Siberian Husky 1 year old. I’m currently working full time 9 am - 6 pm but have a very flexible schedule and can move my hours around to meet your needs. I have worked with leash trained and non leash trained dogs if you have a fenced in yard. I prefer leash trained dogs for public walks with a standard leash. I love animals, their snuggles & kisses too! I have kids & animals so drool & slobber don’t bother me!

About: We have always had multiple dogs in our home, ranging from puppy to senior. We have also adopted a rescue, and so because of that we learned what comes with animals who have had a not so happy past. I work part time as a nurse and so I’m often home with my two littles. I have a fenced in front and back yard. We want your pups to feel comfortable! They are allowed in all areas of our home. If your dog has accidents we understand, but if there are repeated accidents on carpeting there will be a cleaning fee of $150.00 *Meet and Greet Policy* If I travel to you for a meet & greet and you want to book I ask for one night as a deposit (non-refundable). This will go toward your balance or if for any reason you need to cancel, it will go toward a future stay. I am very accommodating and am happy to offer pick up and drop off as well. If for some reason (vacations/getaways) we are unavailable it will be marked on the calendar. I do my best to confirm my calendar and availability daily. Our front and back yard is fenced in and we are set back from the road. There is plenty of room to run and play. As for feeding; All dogs and/or cats will be fed separately. This includes treats.
About: I have had a variety of animals throughout my life. Dogs, cats, reptiles(even an alligator at one point). I currently have 4 snakes as well. I currently work 12 hour shifts on Thursday and Friday. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday day are pretty open now. We can certainly discuss time frames that work for both of us I request that if there are any special instructions for your pet, that you have them written out for me. I will travel to you to take care of your fur child of any age. I always respect my clients homes and pets.

She carefully followed all directions, ensuring that their routines remained uninterrupted and that they felt comfortable in her presence.
