About: I am passionate about animals, taking care of them, loving them, especially since they are not able to communicate for themselves. Dogs are amazing creatures and full of unconditional love and being with them every day is a pure joy and doesn't feel like a job. I go above and beyond to take care of these animals, which are family. I am very loving, kind, reliable, dependable and enjoy being with dogs, petting them, being affectionate with them and taking care of them is very rewarding. This is not just a job for me, it is a passion and a joy to be with dogs of all kinds, walking with them, taking care of them, talking to them is very rewarding. Thank you very much. I’m available for pet care because pet care is my full time job and it’s my passion for the past decade and I love it I will care for them as you tell me too. I give lots of love and care and petting. Animals love to be pet continually
About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience, starting with caring for family dogs and continuing professionally at a doggy daycare. I work with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments, ensuring safe play, proper routines, and individualized attention. As a dog owner myself, I understand the trust involved in pet sitting and treat every dog with patience, consistency, and care. I can do Mornings from 5:30 or 6am to 11am, I work from 12-6 pm so after work I can do 6:30pm-whenever is needed. from Monday-Friday. Weekends I can do anytime. I always make sure that the pets are safe, are always feed, always have water, and I take them out on walks very frequently. If the parents are ok with it I also like to take them to dog parks to learn socialization and to be able to run around and have fun without possibly breaking anything in the house.
About: As someone who knows that your pet is a part of your family, you can trust that I will do my absolute best to take care of them. I have been a pet sitter for 4 years, providing exceptional care to the pets of neighbors, family, friends and clients. I have experience caring for pets with special needs, dietary restrictions, and medication. I’m currently working full time, but I’m available for overnights with any pet! I’m okay with traveling the distance to your house to watch your pet as well as house sit if needed! I understand that animals feel most comfortable around familiar surroundings, and wouldn’t want to displace them. I’m very flexible, just let me know when I’d be needed. The environment will be your own home. Your pet will not feel displaced, and will remain comfortable in his or her own bed. I understand that familiarity is key when owners are away.
About: With a lifelong passion for animals and decades of hands-on experience with personalized pet care, you can rest assured your pet is in great hands while you are away! I have been a show jumping horse trainer for most of my life, and caring for client’s pets while they were away just fell into place! From horses and dogs to a wide variety of different types of pets, I bring my knowledge, empathy, and commitment to every animal. After years of caring for many “regulars” in Santa Barbara, CA while their owners were away, I recently relocated to Roxbury, CT, where I offer high-quality, attentive care in a safe and serene environment. My property spans over three manicured acres, with more than one acre fully fenced and wired—complete with automatically closing gates—providing a secure, pet-friendly space for dogs to play, explore, and relax under supervision. Whether providing in-home pet care, or hosting animals on my property, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with love, patience, and respect. I look forward to meeting new pets and their owners here in CT! I don’t accept pets from different families at the same time, and when I take on caring for your pet, that is my full time job. My dogs tend to like to run errands with me, when weather permits, so your pet is welcome to join, or they are all also welcome to hang inside my home while I am out. I am never gone for longer than 2 hours at a time, and I am yet to leave my dogs outside in the yard when away with all the wildlife around… I adjust to whatever your pet is most used to when they are in their own home. Fenced in and wire lined 1+ acre grass manicured yard and over two acres of manicured grass outside the fenced yard for those pups once they bond with me and will reliably come when called. Your dog can sleep on my bed or in one of the plush dog beds I have around my home. Each door has an alarm system that sounds when the door is opened, and cameras surrounding the property... I always have eyes even when I am out running errands.
About: I'd love to have the pleasure of meeting and taking care of your dog or cat. My belief is that there is no bad dog there's only bad owners. You just have to be patient and persistent. Each dog/cat has a different different personality but once you figure out what makes them tick the sky is the limit. Ever since the beginning of high-school I've had to care for our family dog "Necko" & Neighbors/ friends dogs. Always enjoyed doing it. since then I've had Multiple dogs, a bulldog, Australian shepherd, 2 Docsons, Staffordshire terrier pitbull & a Labradoodle. I love spending time with my dog "Marley' weather it's just laying watching TV together on the couch to going fishing, running the trails of dog parks together to swimming in the lake. People forget that as long as you have patience & show them love & affection & let them know they can trust you they will be your best friend, they trully are the most loyal animals. You can depend on me to treat your animal with all the same love & affection I'd show my own! I'd be more happy to have the chance to walk/ play with you're dog I currently am helping get my dad's house prepared to sell. Since my mother just passed away I took some time off to help dad get the estate in order. So I'm very flexible, just ask me. Weekend/days in the evening am always aviable from 6:30pm - 11pm. During the week depends on the day just double check with me, more than happy to answer ANY questions you have or requests you would like ask about. If I were to take your dog or cat overnight in you're home I'd be willing to take them out every 2hours. If special exceptions need to be made just let me know. Or there are certain requirements just let me know.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school. I am known as the dog-sitter in my neighborhood. When my neighbors go on vacation or away, I am always the first one called to watch their animals. While they are away, I feed and walk the dogs. I also have experience staying over night at various houses to dog sit. I’m currently working as a teacher, but we are off during the Summer. I have a lot of free time to take care of all of your pets needs. I am available Monday through Sunday. I will follow all of the instructions of the pet’s owner.

About: *UPDATED 6/25 (I will gladly overly love and take care of all the animals I've learned 🙈🤣 if not comfortable with your animal getting attention x10...I'm not your girl 🤣 I set this up randomly one day with spare time wanting to work with animals and not wanting to full time do it, come to my surprise that has not been the case...I currently walk two AMAZING elderly dogs 3x a week and am very strict on breeds I'm willing to board after 2 boarding situations with the most amazing sweet dogs and one that made my animals want to abandon me 🙈🤣 if requesting boarding or day care please understand if I decline requests from breeds I'm hesitant about my dog and 2 cats being comfortable with ❤️ always up for a meet and greet before deciding!)* I was raised with Border Collies, Maltese, German Shepards, Norwegian Elk hounds, between fostering, personal pets and caring for friends/families pets. Cared for and hand fed puppies my whole life as well as cared for senior dogs needing a slower, more loving pace in their later years. I run my own business and work from home allowing me a lot more free time and flexibility than most in and outside my home for care. I have 2 very smart and sweet cats (1 years old and 4 years old) as well as a 10 year old Norwegian Elk Hound. All 3 are more than accustomed to random animals being in and out of the home as anyone with animals that comes over is more than welcome and encouraged to bring them along. Animals are children and completely apart of the family in our world and household. Capable of crating animals yet prefer freedom for the babies if possible. *BONUS happy if great off leash staying with humans and our dog!*
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I bring to every animal I work with. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, which has taught me that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I’ve also been a lifelong pet parent, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust caring for your pets. I tailor my care to each pet’s age, temperament, routine, and health needs, whether that means extra patience with a senior pet, medication assistance, reinforcing basic training, or simply giving them the love and companionship they’re used to at home. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication, and reliability, and I care for every pet as I would my own. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and for their people to have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to accommodate drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and last-minute requests based on your pet’s needs. I provide care in my clients’ homes to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions, maintain routines, and prioritize safety at all times. I communicate regularly with updates, photos, and messages, giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for my own dogs and a deep love for all animals, I’m dedicated to providing your pets with the best care possible! From playful pups to gentle giants, I believe every animal deserves love, respect, and attention. My passion extends beyond dogs to horses and other animals, as I see their innocence and the joy they bring to our lives. You can trust me to treat your furry friends like family, ensuring they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to dog sitting. My classes are spaced out, giving me availability throughout the day and evenings to care for your pets. Whether it’s daily walks, check-ins, or overnight stays, I can accommodate a variety of needs. I’m organized and reliable, so you can trust that your pets will always be well cared for, even with my studies. I’m here to make sure your furry friends are happy and comfortable whenever you need me! In my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your pets. I adapt to their individual needs, whether it’s sticking to their usual routines, providing plenty of playtime, or ensuring quiet moments for rest and relaxation. In your home, I maintain cleanliness and respect your space, keeping things just as you left them. In my home, pets have plenty of room to roam and enjoy attention while staying safe and secure. I provide regular walks, feeding, and lots of love and cuddles to ensure your pets feel happy and cared for while you’re away!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
