About: I’ve worked at an animal shelter and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I love both dogs and cats and will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently a graduate student, which gives me a flexible schedule and free days to dedicate to pet care. I’m able to plan my routine around walks, drop-ins, feedings, and quality time so your pet gets consistent attention. Because I’m home often, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and will get plenty of care and companionship. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family with a safe, calm environment, structured routines, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m mindful of keeping spaces clean, secure, and stress-free so they feel comfortable and settled. In clients’ homes, I respect your routines and preferences to keep your pet’s schedule consistent, whether that’s specific feeding times, medication, crate training, or favorite walking routes. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on making sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.
“Dani is great -- my dog loves her! She's communicative, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and clearly loves dogs. She takes great care and even sent me a photo of something she noticed on my dog, which I truly appreciated. I can relax knowing my dog is in great hands with Dani!”


“Kristen L is a perfect dog sitter. She was prompt and sent pictures of my dog to me. She did exactly what I asked of her. My dog appeared very happy when I got home. I will absolutely be using Kristen again.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life growing up. They radiate such happiness that not having one should be see as a crime. I am good with dogs and they always tend to like me. I have tons of time during the week because I’m a senior at fairfield. I love to go on walks so I’m just looking for a companion for those walks I have no pets currently at my home but I well ensure the safety of your dog as if it was my own. Every dog deserves at least two walks a day
About: Hello! I'm a kind and caring local mom who is looking to make extra income. I love ALL pets - they are true gift in this wild world of ours! I'm very organized and a great communicator -- you'll find it easy partnering with me, I promise! I'm currently only working part-time -- and from my home office -- so I have a lot of flexibility. I am available weekends as well, with full flexibility 6:30 am - 10 pm on weekends. Weekdays I can do anytime 6:30-10 am; 12 - 1 pm and 4-10 pm I prefer to come to your home to care for your pets but am flexible on having pets into my home as well -- let's talk more! I have a 1.5 yr old rescue mix (8 breeds!) named Tank.

About: I have over 40 years experience caring for dogs and animals. My experience includes employment with a veterinarian, employment at a kennel, and a lifetime of dog ownership. We custom built our home to be a perfect paradise for a dog's life. We have a beautiful fenced in private backyard that offers a grass area, deck area, and a woods area for those adventuresome puppies! We have a dog door for those dog guests that want frequent outings or door service by us for those less ambitious doggies. A typical day at doggy paradise includes numerous supervised romps in the fenced in backyard, walks in the neighborhood, lots of love, and plenty of water and meals as per owners instructions. As a little background we just lost our last two dogs within the past two years, one to old age, and one young to cancer. We still want dogs in our life so we are now boarding. Note: An additional daily surcharge will be collected for dogs over 55lbs, details will be addressed at booking depending on dogs weight and age. Thank you Full time care. We will take great care of your pet in our home and fenced in backyard. Typically there is an adult present for full 24 hr care. I have a fenced in yard where dogs are let out. I follow your specific dogs instructions and routine, depending on what they are used to.
About: I am a former vet kennel aide with decades of experience providing calm, attentive, in-home care. I am skilled in safe handling and have worked with and owned a variety of pets. Pet care is a part of my everyday routine - I start each morning feeding my own dog and cat making consistency and reliability second nature. I care for pets in their own homes, following your routines closely while keeping your pet safe, comfortable and your home secure. I care for your pets as if they are my own and bring positivity and my best care to each visit.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a kid, and I’ve picked up some valuable tools since then! I love animals so much that I got a degree in Animal Studies. I know some basics in training, understand animal body language, and have a passion for enriching animals’ lives. At the moment, my schedule is open for pet care! I can take your dog out in the middle of the day, or care for your pet overnight. I offer services at your home because my apartment is too small for your pet. When I go to a client’s home I’m careful about not startling any pets when I enter, introducing myself to the cat or dog, and not disturbing anything in the home.
About: I have grown up my whole life in an animal friendly family. I have had 8 dogs and 3 cats, and I am well experienced with cats and dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. I have pet sit for friends, family, and neighbors from the age of 16 on. I understand first hand the stress and anxiety of leaving your furry friends behind and will make your experience with me stress free. I currently attend Fairfield University with a very flexible schedule of no more than two classes a day. I usually up at 8:30 but I am more than happy to work around your schedule. Something I have learned from growing up with animals is to always listen to what the dog or cat is “saying” whether directly to you or not. I will care for them as if they are my own and always put them first.
About: I’m a young adult who misses her dog and works from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day :) I live in StuyTown and am happy to provide walks, drop-ins, boarding, and lots of care and cuddles. I treat every dog like they’re my own! I have references if needed, your dog will be in great hands! I have a flexible schedule, and although my work calls may vary weekly, I’m usually available. I’ve always lived with dogs, so integrating walks, playtime, and care into my routine comes naturally. I care for all dogs as if they are my own. My walks are 30 minutes minimum, and I always make sure to have water ready after every walk.
“Jocelyn did a fantastic job with drop in visits for our cats Cacio and Pepe. She covered all their basic needs and favorite things on each visit. She even cleaned up when one of our cats got sick. Loved receiving photos each time she finished a check in! Would definitely book again in a heartbeat.”

Katie did an excellent job taking care of our two cats when we were out of town for a week! Great communication, very reliable and personable. It was fun to get to see the cats warm up to her in the pictures as the week progressed. We would definitely book her again.

We are so thankful to have found Alexis! When we first met her, she instantly put our minds at ease. She is punctual, communicative, and responsible. She stayed at our house with our dog for a week and took wonderful care of both our dog and our home. We got updates and pictures daily and quick responses to our texts. With Alexis watching our dog, we were able to have a worry-free vacation!
