“I just moved Southington. I picked Michael to walk my dog Bella. He has been excellent with taking care of her and making sure everything is done. His customer service is impeccable, he is reliable and he’s super friendly. I’m very comfortable with knowing that he’s taking care of my dog while I’m at work because she’s my favorite thing in the world. I highly recommend him. Thank you Michael!”

“Ashley is really great with my dogs. She took them in a solid walk and made sure they had plenty of water and treats before she left. I'd highly recommend her for you pups!”

About: Im am the proud owner of two fur babies. My oldest cat is 11 years old, I've had him since he was 4 months old. I believe he chose me. I adopted him when i was going through a personal lost and he brought me so much joy. My second fur baby was adopted at 2 months old when her mom abandoned her, as she assumed she would never make it in the world but my sweet girl is now 4 years old and thriving. I stand out from other pet sitters because not only have a had cats for years but with my family & I have had fish, turtles, doves, parakeets, dogs( Great Dane, Terrier, chihuahua), and a Guinea pig. I believe it gives me a variety of experience above a-lot of others. My pets have been in my family for their entire lives and I believe pets are truly apart of the family and should be adored as such! I am awoken daily by my two lovely cats. I start my day by opening the blinds and curtains so my babies can sun bathe. Then i head to the bathroom the clean their litter box. Next comes their feedings. My cats are what you can considered spoiled lol. they have a filtered water fountain, and two different food bowls EACH (one for dry food and one for wet). My day begins and ends with checking on them. I don't not have a fenced in yard because I live in an apartment, but we have designated restroom areas for pets. So, I will need a harness/leash to take them out. I allow my pets on my furniture so your pets would be allowed on my furniture as well.
About: I have had dogs since I was very young. I have trained pups and cared for senior dogs.I love the companionship of animals! All pets will be treated as family. I am retired and have a very well behaved female GSD under 2 years old. She is very good with other dogs and loves to play with them. I have a fenced in yard where our house guest will have plenty of room to run. 1 female GSD lives here and enjoys the company. I can also keep them separate if that is the preference.
“Carly was very personable and punctual. It was the first experience with a walker for my dog Max, so he was a bit difficult but Carly was very patient and worked to bond with Max. I appreciate the service Carly provided and if I again have a need for a walker I will contact Carly.”

About: I’m a big dog person, with one dog at my house. I trained her a few tricks which I also taught my childhood dog. I also love cats! We have two cats at our house that are the best. I’m doing college starting in September but commuting very close so I’ll be home a lot when not doing classes. I can do visits in the morning, mid day between classes, and evening. I care for my pets very well giving them attention that they need, ensuring they’re fed and have used the bathroom. It’s important to me that dogs are cared for and loved when visiting them.
About: I grew up in a very paw friendly home, this is where my love for dogs began☺️ I would love to provide your dog/ animal care and your family comfort during your time away from one another! If I am visiting your home I would love to support any other animals in the home during my drop in! I would love to know more about your pets personal preferences. This will allow me to give them increased comfort during there visit, such as meeting there need for playtime, outside time, and time for cozy nap ◡̈ My dog tucker will be happy to keep your dog company in our home. Should I be visiting your home, I will make sure your dog/ animals feel comfortable and loved during my time visiting (as well as get out some energy!)
About: Hi, I’m Katelyn! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember — with over 28 years of experience caring for dogs and all kinds of pets. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs. My goal is to make each walk or drop-in visit a positive, safe, and happy experience for your pet. I’m reliable, attentive, and truly passionate about what I do. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk to burn off energy, a relaxed stroll, or a quick check-in for cuddles and care, I tailor every visit to fit their routine. You can count on me to treat your furry family member with the same love and attention I give my own. I know how important trust and consistency are when it comes to pet care — and I take that responsibility seriously. Let’s make your pet’s day brighter, one walk (and wag) at a time! 🐶💛 Pet care is a big part of my daily routine — I’m available Monday through Saturday, all day, which allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I plan my schedule around caring for pets and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well taken care Safety and trust are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to keep the environment calm and familiar. I double-check that doors and gates are secure, use leashes and harnesses properly during walks, and keep a close eye on surroundings to avoid unsafe situations. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, comfort level, and any special needs or instructions. Whether it’s giving medications, refreshing water, or offering a little extra cuddle time, I make sure every visit is safe, consistent, and full of care — so both you and your pet can feel at ease.
About: With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs and cats. I treat every pet like my own; making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I believe every animal is unique, so I always take the time to learn your pet’s specific routines, quirks, and preferences to give them the best care possible. Whether it’s long walks, cuddle time, or special feeding routines, I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home. I work Monday-Friday, 9am to 5pm but can do drop in’s for morning, afternoon, and evening. When staying at a clients home, I will leave from there to work, and return as soon as work is finished. During the weekends, I can pop in at any time. I would care for your pet exactly as you would in your own home and love them as if they were my own dogs. I take pet sitting seriously and will always send pictures and updates.
