“My dog and cat are used to lots of attention and they clearly got that while staying with Jennifer and her family! I felt so comfortable leaving them with her.”
“Karen took our Poodle puppy on a last minute request and we’re so happy she did! She stayed in contact throughout, sent tons of photos and videos and was very flexible with pickup and drop off time. She even gave us a little parting gift! Would definitely recommend Karen if you are in the New London/Mystic area!”
“Sabina is the best sitter ever! Her dog Alphie is such a sweetheart and plays so well with dogs of any size. Sabina was so patient with my Bear when he got homesick after a longer stay, took both boys out on walks daily, and made Bear feel right at home. 10/10 will book again!”
About: With years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats, I provide personalized, loving care that keeps pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while their owners are away. I absolutely love spending time with animals and have been caring for pets for years, from playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet senior dogs who just want a cozy nap buddy. I make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just some good company, I treat every furry friend like part of my own family. Your pet’s happiness are always my top priority. I am currently a stay at home mom with plenty of time and love to give! I’m home most of the day, so I can keep your pet company, stick to their routine, and make sure they get lots of playtime and cuddles. When I’m caring for pets, whether it’s in my home or yours, my main goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I like to keep their routine as close to normal as possible — same walk times, meals, and plenty of play and cuddle time. In my home, I make sure there’s a comfy spot for naps, space to play, and lots of attention. When I’m at a client’s home, I treat it with respect and make sure your pet feels right at home while you’re away. Every animal is different, so I take the time to get to know what makes each one comfortable and content.
“Zuri was excellent. She was very welcoming and caring and her dog, Solo, and Maggie seemed to get along great. I would take Maggie to Zuri's home without any hesitation should I end up in Mystic again with her. Tom”
“We are so relieved we found someone amazing to watch our pup while we are away! Shannon was amazing with responding and sending pictures along with giving updates. Thank you again!”
“I was hesitant/nervous also to leave my dog at someone's house for a week especially since I was gonna be out of the country. However, the video of my dog happily playing with the other dogs on the 2nd/3rd day I was away alleviated all my worries. She actually seemed a little sad (whimpering) when I picked her up and drove away from Dana/Junio's house. I will definitely bring Nalu back here when I go away, even maybe if it's just a day.”
“This was our first time, sending our dog overnight in another house, and it couldn’t have been smoother! We loved that there was a whole family surrounding her and some other new dog friends to play with. We are quite sure she’s missing the whole family, but she is stuck with us now! We are grateful And will certainly be back! Thank you so much! we would 100% recommend this family as the best puppy caregivers”
“Our puppy had a great time staying at Brittany’s house for the day. I felt he was in good hands while we were gone for the day. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Brittany!”
About: I've taken care if animals since I was very little. Since I lived on a farm I had responsibilities for feeding, walking, and caring for various animals. I am currently a full time online student in college and a stay at home mom, therefore, I am free all day to care for your cats or your dogs! I take my dog for 3 walks a day around my quiet neighborhood! I have a fenced in backyard that is fairly large. My personal dog is 6 years old and LOVES other animals! My dog, Lily, is also trained for anxiety needs.
“Karissa was very accommodating and responded to my last minute request for care after the sitter scheduled cancelled on us last minute. Right away my dog sensed her good energy, that of her family and home. He was happy at drop off and came back happy, which speaks volumes of the good care he received. I appreciated the daily update and reassuring pictures. If I am in Newport next year, I hope Chapu can stay with Karissa and family again. Thanks so much!”
“Although this review comes late I cannot say enough about the care my dog Bodhi received from Sharon. He's a small dog with a big attitude and obviously anxious about a lot of new people and big dogs. Sharon took the time to be one-on-one with him and they went for walks and she was so good to him. I can't say enough about the care my dog received. Ali”
“Albert and Amanda took great care of our new golden retriever puppy! We were nervous to leave because she is so young but they were so friendly and knowledgeable that we had nothing to worry about! Thank You again for taking great care of Maggie! She had a wonderful time and I’m sure she will be back to see you guys again!!!”
“This was my German shepherd, Evie's, first overnight stay with Laura, or anyone else for that matter. I was hoping it would go well and happily Evie had a great time running about and playing with three other dogs. Good to know I have a safe place to drop Evie off when I'm away.”
“Nina was wonderful for my dogs boarding. She was responsive and let me know how Stella was doing each day. I felt very comfortable with her and look forward to booking her in the future!”
