11. Alixeanaly R.
“i trust alix with my cats’ lives!!! she’s so good with them and i see how much they love her. i get tons of photos everytime she’s with them :). she even made them a little pet report card when taking care of them for the first time, which i thought was the sweetest thing ever. her passion for taking care of animals is apparent in her work. alix has done tons of drop ins at my apartment. she always made sure the water was always full and litter box was clean. i traveled for 2.5 weeks and i was in awe at how amazing she was. my cats’s food ran out while i was traveling and i freaked out but she picked up my package and did everything for me. once, the electricity in my building went out and she even went back in AGAIN to make sure their automatic feeder and water fountain were back on. it’s not easy trusting strangers to come into your home, but im so glad i found alix. i genuinely recommend her, she’s amazing.”

18. Caitlin D.
About: I have lots of love and a unique appreciation for rescue dogs of all types and sizes, having worked with local rescues for 5 years. I have also walked, trained and fostered dogs of all sizes, from 12 to 200 pounds, including dogs of senior age, and dogs with accessibility needs and/or vision impairment. I have experience fostering dogs who are anxious or nervous around new people places and things, with special attention to body language, each pet’s comforts & routines, and positive reinforcement tools. I have stayed over numerous neighbors and friends homes to adjust to their pets’ schedules, maintain their home space, and keep their K9 loved ones comfortable in their absence. I am a full time worker in downtown Hartford, with capability to work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me flexibility on those days to walk and care for the pets of friends and family. I love getting outside, for at least an hour daily, and love animals, so this satisfies two of my favorite past times. I also like to go for a run and sing / play the keyboard in my free time! I come to you for daytime walks, outs, and in-house day or overnight care! Unfortunately I do not have the capability to bring your furry friends into my home. However, I would love to care for your pet through stop in walks and outs during the day, full day care on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays while you are working or away, and am flexible to stay over and include holidays and long weekend care, per your level of comfort!


19. Kristin K.
“Kristin is an animal lover who is patient, attentive, responsible and caring. She grew up with both dogs and cats and is experienced with different species so your dog, cat or reptile will be in good hands with her. She is easy to work with and is an excellent photographer, so expect lots of photos of your little one. You will be happy with the service provided by Kristin as she is naturally a good listener and will take care to address the special needs and care of animals of all types, having personally watched as she cared for both senior and junior pups.”
