“We are so lucky to have Jillian to care for our pets! Prompt, professional, thorough, communicative, supportive, and animal- sensitive : there are not enough superlatives or stars to reflect our gratitude for Jillian’s work.”
“Angelisse dos so well with my two dogs. Rex is a little anxious and she always ensures he is comfortable and happy while I’m away. She keeps me updated on how they are doing daily while I’m away which I appreciate.”
“Callan was great house sitting for our two dogs for several days. He arrived a few mins early to the meet and greet and the dogs warmed up to him right away. Would highly recommend.”
About: As a lifelong owner and former Wag! handler, I provide expert care for your pup. I offer three years of adult handling experience, trusted by family and friends for safe overnights and walks. I just finished a graduate program at UConn and I’m looking for part-time work while I jobs search, so I have plenty of time to care for pups! Safety is my absolute top priority. When staying at your home, I follow a strict protocol to keep your dog and your space secure. I perform immediate walk-throughs to check for any hazards, loose food, or trash left in reach. To prevent door-darting, I never open exterior doors without knowing exactly where your pup is. I strictly adhere to your house rules regarding off-limit rooms or furniture. Additionally, I never leave your dog unattended in the yard, and I double-check all door locks and gates every time I step outside. You will receive regular photo updates so you always have total peace of mind. I have a dog of my own, so I would treat your dog with the same care I do with my own!
“Annie was AMAZING! She took such great care of our babies. Patches has anxiety, and unfortunately gets sick sometimes from it, and Annie went above and beyond on making sure she was OK. She also sent us pictures and a video while we were away. Highly recommend this young lady!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for my co-workers and friends for the past several years while they traveled out of town for an extended amount of time. I make sure to check-in every day, feed them, and make sure they get enough attention. I am raising money for marathons I have signed up for over the next year. I’m preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon and aim to run the Boston Marathon. I usually work evenings from 3-11pm Wednesdays through Sundays and I will have time to take care of your pet in the mornings before I get ready for work. When I am in charge of your pet, I make sure sure they have the food the need to remain healthy, give them a walk when they need it, and provide them with enough attention.
“KiAnna was willing to arrive by 6:45 AM so we could depart by 7:15 AM. She took great care of Chester and we will be asking her to house sit and take care of Chester again!”
“Renee was excellent with our girl. We felt so comfortable with her from the first meet and greet. Very responsive and stayed in touch with pictures and videos each day. She was on top of everything! We will definitely have Renee back to watch Angel again.”
“Carol was absolutely wonderful! Very communicative and provided regular photos and updates on how our pup Winnie was doing. You can tell she absolutely adores dogs and treats them with the love they deserve! Will definitely continue to use Carol as our sitter in the future”
“Joanna and her daughter watched my dogs at my house for a few days while I was on vacation. They both took excellent care of my dogs. I received frequent pictures and updates from Joanna while I was away and my dogs were happy and healthy when I got home. My house was also well taken care of and spotless when I got home. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing her to watch their dogs.”
“It felt so good going away and leaving our dog and cat and house in janette’s care. We booked her super last minute for Thanksgiving week and she came and did a meet and greet next day and was very sweet with our pets and sent pictures and updates. Highly recommend and will definitely connect with her again for care.”
“Zion took amazing care of my my dog Otto in my home while I was away. She had great communication and I was confident he was in good hands. Highly recommend and would be happy to have her in the future.”
“Once again, Allie has done an incredible job watching our pups. She took such good care of our dogs and our home while we were out of the country for 10 days. She's the absolute best sitter and is so communicative and thoughtful. And most importantly, our dogs love her! Allie went above and beyond, and we will absolutely reach out to her again. This was our second time having Allie watch the pups, and it won’t be the last!”
“Carla was phenomenal!! I was able to feel relaxed and comfortable while on my vacation as she tended to my two dogs and looked after my house. I would recommend her anytime and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Eleni was wonderful! She truly bonded with our dog, and it felt so nice to go on vacation knowing that he was being well cared for. We would absolutely work with her again!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was young. We had a dog growing up, and I've taken care of other people's dogs too. Many dogs seem to instinctively get a good reading of me and warm up to me quickly. Right now, I'm making a career switch and have a lot of open time. My work search activities schedule varies, so I can easily juggle taking care of your pets. Some people say that I'm a "dog magnet." It's not unusual for dogs, even unfamiliar ones, to instinctively be drawn to me. I also make sure to read any messages or printouts about care and routines so I can get a good idea of the How, What, and Where.
“Hector was prompt in responding to texts/inquiries and very kind and courteous. We received regular updates and pictures which put our mind at ease. Our pup has refused to eat while we were away in the past but she ate well for Hector. He took her on walks loved her as we do. He is very professional and took note of all her routines and quirks. We would definitely rebook with Hector in the future.”

Yadira provided excellent care for my dog for 3 days and nights. When I returned home, my dog, who can be nervous when I’ve been away, was relaxed and happy. I felt very comfortable knowing Yadira was caring for my home as well. She was communicative and I’m very happy with the care she provided.
Margaret (Maggie) provided excellent care of my dog while I was away for an extended time. I am very grateful for the care she provided to him as I know he had lots of walks, lots of fun and companionship. Maggie always communicated well and we talked through my dog’s routine beforehand. While I was away, I received lots of pictures and pupdates. I would highly recommend Maggies’s assistance with any pet. Thank you very much !
It felt so good going away and leaving our dog and cat and house in janette’s care. We booked her super last minute for Thanksgiving week and she came and did a meet and greet next day and was very sweet with our pets and sent pictures and updates. Highly recommend and will definitely connect with her again for care.
Erika is absolutely amazing!! We hired her for my 8 year old black lab who was staying at the hotel while we got married. She sent me updates, photos and a video! It was so nice to look at once our night calmed down. She was beyond flexible with our schedule changes. Thank you Erika so much for taking care of our special boy!
This was my first time hiring a dog sitter outside of my own family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Isabel. I was impressed from the very start, not only did my dog warm up to her right away, but Isabel immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care. She asked all the right questions, offered thoughtful recommendations, and really took the time to understand my dog’s needs and personality. During the stay, Isabel was fantastic with communication, sending regular updates and tons of happy, adorable pictures that gave me such peace of mind. Even when my dog unexpectedly needed an emergency vet visit (through no fault of hers), Isabel was completely on top of it. She could tell something wasn’t right and didn’t hesitate to act. She kept me informed throughout the entire situation and made sure my dog was okay and settled before leaving. On top of that, Isabel was able to watch my sister’s dog alongside mine, and she made the effort to meet both dogs beforehand, asking additional questions to make sure she could care for each of them properly. Every photo I received showed two happy, relaxed pups; it was clear they were in great hands. Overall, Isabel went above and beyond. I will absolutely be booking with her again!
Maya took great care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and check-in messages, and we came home to a clean house. She even went the extra step of stripping the bed and putting the sheets in the washer. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and would gladly have her sit for us again.
Alyanna took great care of our dog and cat while we were away. Alyanna was very communicative; she checked in with us regularly and sent us lots of pictures of happy pets. Our house was well cared for, as well. We would definitely recommend and book Alyanna for future visits.
