Cat Sitting in Southbury

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have two cats of my own, and over the years I’ve cared for several dogs, so I truly understand the unique personalities and energy each pet brings. Since I’m retired, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care and be fully present for your pet. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique routine and preferences. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility to heart. I’ll always keep you updated so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“Jenna did a great job again. She took good care of my babies and kept an eye on the house too. She is very responsible and I will definitely book again.”

About: I am a dog owner of two male lab mixed breed dogs. I have previous experience at vet, in home pet care, and puppy training! I am available for local visits or boarding over the summer. Dogs will have access to fenced in yard and deck. Your dog will become part of our family when you are away! I have a fenced in yard and two pups to would love another playmate. Dogs will have their own bedroom with optional crate and bed.

“Anne was super easy to work with and did a great job checking in my cats while I was away! She sent pictures and even managed to coax out my anxious cat which I really did not expect at all. She did some playing with my friendlier girl and made sure all their needs were taken care of. I really appreciate having her stop in and I know that the next time I need a sitter I'll book Anne again! Thank you!”

About: I previously co-founded a dog training business, managing client relationships and operations, but I have since stepped away from it. Prior to that, I worked for Coaching for Paws, a renowned dog training business in northern Connecticut. I have been working with dogs for around five years and have experience with training basic obedience, dog walking, dog sitting, and overall care. I currently have most weekdays free to dedicate to your pups’ needs, which allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company. Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate different care needs and maintain reliable routines for pets, helping them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have lots of experience with different dogs and understand the needs of dogs and owners. I am able to meet any needs or criteria.

“She’s GREAT .. there’s no other way to put it !!!! Professional in every sense of the word..First time working with her and we’re already booked for another one..”

About: There are multiple reasons why I would be the perfect person to take care of your pet! I worked at Guiding eyes for the Blind where I helped train and care for labs and German shepherds. I have worked at a dog kennel and a veterinary center where I provide top care to the client's pets. I aid dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, healthy to unwell, teacup to gigantic. I have also dog sat for multiple friends for days on end. I currently have a 14 year old lab mix that I have taken care of since I was a teenager. I also have a 2 year old lab pup with tons of energy. I prefer to hike my dogs in the woods and let them explore and chase the squirrels. We play fetch and tug of war. I could do the same with your dog! With this experience, I know that dogs need lots of care and love with some fun and snuggles! I am currently going to school to be an ultrasound technician and would love some extra work on the side. My schedule changes with each semester but the best type of study breaks are outside and playing with fur babies. I will follow your instructions closely on how to properly care for your pet. I will make sure that safety is the number one concern to make sure that everyone is well taken care of.

About: Hi! My name is Courtney, and I’m a registered nurse with a lifelong love for animals. Caring for others is what I do every day—both professionally and personally—and that same level of compassion, attentiveness, and responsibility carries over into how I care for pets. I grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters, and birds. Because of this, I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, needs, and care routines. I currently have a one-year-old dog who means everything to me, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I will treat your animals with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow any specific instructions to maintain your pet’s routine.

“Claire was great with my cats and took every measure to ensure they were well cared for. I would recommend her to anyone, especially those with pets who need special attention, and would have her cat sit any time :)”

“Erika was great with my 8 year old shy dog! Her updates put me at ease knowing he was getting his medicine and being taken care of. Would definitely rebook with her in the future!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, patience, and genuine love I bring to every pet I work with. I don’t just “watch” animals—I build trust with them and treat them like my own. My experience as a caregiver has really shaped how attentive and compassionate I am, especially when it comes to understanding different needs and personalities. I also have fostering experience, which has taught me how to work with pets who may be anxious, shy, or adjusting to new environments. Because of that, I’m very comfortable helping animals feel safe and supported. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I can help reinforce basic training, routines, and positive behaviors. With senior pets, I’m extra gentle, patient, and attentive to things like mobility, medications, and comfort. Overall, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone you can truly trust with your pet. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am unavailable mondays and Wednesdays but available all day on Saturday and Sunday. I can work after 4:30pm on Tuesday Thursday and Friday :) Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or stopping by for visits, I do everything I can to make the experience feel calm, consistent, and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and playtime. I make sure doors are secure, hazards are avoided, and your pet is always supervised and safe. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. I’m very attentive to behavior and body language, which helps me quickly notice if something feels off. My background as a caregiver has made me especially detail-oriented, patient, and calm in any situation. Cleanliness is also very important to me—I keep feeding areas, litter boxes, and living spaces clean and comfortable at all times. Overall, I aim to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels relaxed and cared for, and where you can have complete peace of mind.

“Ian did a wonderful job with my dogs. He was so calm and caring with them, they took to him immediately. He also gave a timely & thorough report of his visit with them. Thanks Ian!!”

About: Began dog walking service when I was a kid. Been talking care of a dog baby of my own for 6 years now. I like to let dogs explore and be animals. I'm not a good dog walker for you if you have them so trained that you have erased their sense of wonder. I take my dog running everyday because that's what dogs need and deserve. I love dogs more than anything and will love yours too. I take my dog to a nearby field to let her run off leash, so I am comfortable taking your dog off leash if you would like that! I am happy to dog sit small dogs in my home and sit any size dogs at your home. Look forward to meeting you! I am a hybrid-remote worker with free time throughout the week and weekends to care for your pup. Happy to help and get some fresh air! I have been a dog walker in the past. Can provide a reference if needed. I am very clean and will wipe your dogs paws and dry their fur so as not to wreck your home in rainy weather and winter months.
