About: Hi. My name is Bree, I'm an independent journalist working and living in Mystic, CT. I love gardening, hiking, reading, and being outdoors. I have a Golden Mountain Dog and a young child so dogs need to be kid and dog friendly. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. As I'm self-employed and work from home, my work day is very flexible. I try my best to stick to your pet’s routine and happy to accommodate their schedule. I have a fairly large fenced in yard in downtown Mystic and I would love to have your dog with me at my house. My dog is very friendly and would love to play with your dog. If you have any questions please reach out.

“We were in town visiting from Virginia and needed to find someone to watch our baby Jax for a day. So glad we found Elisa! She was very responsive to our request and was able to accommodate our change in pick up time. I can tell her and her family treated Jax like one of their own because he adapted so quickly! And I can tell he had a lot of fun because he instantly went to sleep. We’ll definitely book Elisa again if we need another sitter when we’re back in town!”

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have extensive experience caring for pups of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I truly love being around animals and treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs—whether that means caring for them in your home or welcoming them into mine, where I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always prioritize communication and will keep you updated for complete peace of mind! I work from home full-time, which allows me to be very flexible with pet care throughout the day. I’m able to take dogs out frequently, provide attention, and fit in short walks as needed. In my home, dogs have access to a safe, fully fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, along with plenty of attention, play, and comfort indoors. I stick closely to each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care needs. In a client’s home, I’m equally attentive and respectful, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment while maintaining their normal routine and providing consistent care, affection, and updates.

About: I believe that with age comes wisdom, patience, and experience that simply can’t be taught. I am lucky enough to have reached the age where I have gained said wisdom, patience, and experience that only age can bestow upon us! For this reason, in addition to my 30 years of experience caring for dogs is what I believe separates me from other pet sitters. I have over 30 years of experience caring for both large and small dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Over the years, I’ve developed not only strong, reliable caregiving skills but also a deep and genuine love for dogs. Their happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that dogs are not “one size fits all.” Every dog has a unique personality, temperament, energy level, and set of needs. Some thrive on long walks and endless games of fetch, while others prefer a slower pace and extra cuddle time. I take the time to learn each dog’s routines, preferences, and comfort zones so I can provide personalized care that helps them feel secure and loved. Our family recently lost our beloved Chiweenie, Bailey, at 14 years old. She was truly part of our family, and caring for her through every stage of her life only deepened my understanding of the changing needs dogs have as they age. While we don’t currently have a dog, we are looking forward to welcoming the next fur baby into both our hearts and our home. My posted rates are all “starting at” rates. Once I meet a prospective family and learn more about their dog’s specific needs, we can always discuss and adjust rates accordingly. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I am attentive, patient, and committed to providing individualized, compassionate care for every dog entrusted to me. New Clients Use My Code For $20 Off of Your First Service! https://www.rover.com/sit/katiel73869 I care for your pet(s) the way I cared for my own pet; with love, careful attention, (not only for signs of what s/he may need, but also to help build a bond with your fur baby, and for safety), and respect. Your dog is welcome both on my couch and in my bed. If this is something that is against the rules in your home, please let me know so that I’m not unknowingly breaking your rules! The best way to explain how I will treat your dog is, “I will treat your dog(s) like I would treat my own,” or “I will treat your dog the way I would want someone to treat my dog!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Sue! She was so incredibly accommodating and patient with my dog. My dog, Sadie, was uncharacteristically anxious and scared on our vacation. She was having a really hard time separating from me at all. Sue took the time to get her acclimated with the new environment and allowed me into her home to give Sadie time to adjust and get comfortable. She played calming music for Sadie and gave her her favorite treat- peanut butter. By the time we picked Sadie up, she was very happy and more back to herself. Sue gave Sadie so much love and attention the whole time I was at the aquarium. I was able to have a good time, knowing my dog was in good hands. Sue kept me updated on Sadie’s progress with texts, pictures and videos. I am so very grateful and would recommend Sue to anyone seeking a great pet sitter!”

“Chelsea was great. Very accommodating. Good communication. Even put out a kiddie pool to keep cool on a very hot day!”

“Molly has severe separation anxiety and can’t be left alone, which limits what we can do during the week. We have been looking for someone to watch her regularly for church on Sundays though and I’m so glad we found Madelyn! We drop Molly off in the morning and pick her up a few hours later and we know she’s in good hands. Madelyn provides prompt communication and takes good care of our girl!”

About: I’ve wanted a dog since my childhood dog passed away when I was 8. My parents never got another but now that I am living by myself I have a ton of love to give to any dog that comes to stay. I currently work full time but any free time I would love to fit your dog in my schedule! Reach out and we can figure something out. My apartment complex has a dog park right next to my apartment so I will utilize that to get the dog outside and moving around. The apartment is pretty spacious, so the dog won’t be cramped in a single bedroom all day.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by and caring for all kind of animals (even monkeys). Family, friends, colleagues, and strangers, have relied on me to care for their dogs, cats, and more for years; Knowing that I will love their pets like I love my own, my clients have confidence and trust when booking with me! As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I’m home the majority of the day and able to provide consistent care and attention. I intentionally only accept one additional dog at a time so each pet receives plenty of supervision and individualized care I have one dog, Ollie, that loves to play and keep every guest company. I am in a two story duplex with a small unfenced yard, but have an outdoor lead for potty breaks and plenty of areas for walking in my neighborhood. If necessary, for separation/calm down time, I have a baby gate available that can break up my kitchen and living room and I also have a spare room upstairs. There will be no instances where our pets are left alone unmonitored for the safety of both parties.

About: Born and raised in a family of passionate pet sitters, I've honed my skills in dog sitting from an early age. With a background of caring for Newfoundlands, cats, and my own furry friend, I bring a wealth of experience and genuine love for animals to every pet sitting assignment. From leisurely strolls to cozy cuddle sessions, I prioritize the happiness and well-being of every dog in my care.

During the school year, I’m available mornings, midafternoons, evenings, and weekends, allowing me to provide dependable and consistent care whenever needed.

About: I have helped families take care of their pets (and kids!) for over 20 years! I just moved to Westerly with my husband, rescue pup, and sweet senior cat and we just had our first child. I enjoy helping families with their fur babies as I settle into being a stay at home mom! Depending on the baby’s schedule, sometimes my husband does the visits for me or we all go together with the baby in a carrier— let me know in advance if you have any issues. Being a mother is my full time job, so my schedule is very flexible! Feel free to inquire about a date that is marked unavailable. I take into consideration what each pet needs during my visits, whether that’s a long walk, a few rounds of fetch or just some cuddles.

“Great with my pup, even with him being shy she took great care of him and let him warm up to her”

About: I I have a unique background in dog sitting that sets me apart from others. For years, I’ve lovingly cared for my own 16-year-old rescue dog, who had special needs. This experience taught me how to provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each dog’s individual requirements, especially senior dogs who need a little extra support and patience. In addition to senior care, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, gaining valuable insights into their different needs and personalities. I also have hands-on experience with puppies, ever since I adopted my golden retriever as a puppy—she’s now 2 years old and absolutely loves other dogs. Living within walking distance of the beach, I’m always excited to take dogs on outdoor adventures, making sure they have a fantastic time during their stay with me. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, playtime, or simply extra snuggles, I’m dedicated to keeping every dog happy, comfortable, and safe. I am currently self-employed and work on my own time virtually. I am pretty much home all day everyday! I love being outside and going on long walks with the dogs I sit for. I have a yard with a stake for safe outdoor time, and I live within walking distance to the water—so the dogs will be going on plenty of walks and adventures.
