About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I bring both heart and know-how to every pet I care for. I’ve raised energetic puppies, comforted anxious seniors, and managed complex medical needs with love and consistency. I’ve personally cared for boxers, pit bulls, labradors, and even a shih-tzu, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and strong-willed pups. One of my beloved boxers had epilepsy and DCM, so I’m no stranger to detailed medication routines, monitoring symptoms, and creating a calm, structured environment. Whether your pup needs long walks, belly rubs, medication, or just a cozy lap to rest on, I’m here to provide personalized, attentive care that keeps tails wagging and pet parents at ease. As a teacher, I’m currently off for the summer and have plenty of time and flexibility to devote to pet care. I’m home during the day, available for overnights, drop-ins, walks, and playtime—whatever your pet needs to feel safe and loved while you’re away. Even during the school year, I’m still available on weekends, evenings, and holidays. My schedule aligns perfectly with many pet parents' needs, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding routine, administering medication, or just keeping your pet company, I build their care right into my day like they’re part of the family. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful and detail-oriented. I make sure your pet sticks to their routine and gets plenty of affection and care while you're away. I always clean up after myself (and your pet!), water plants or bring in mail if needed, and send regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every animal I care for like my own—with patience, love, and a deep sense of responsibility.

“Thank you for everything, I know we probably put you in a difficult situation but you did a great job under the circumstances. I would definitely highly recommend you to all that needs a dedicated pet caretaker for your caring and professionalism. Thanks again!”

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a lifelong dog lover and dedicated dog trainer with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From cuddly couch potatoes to high-energy working breeds, I’ve built a strong understanding of canine behavior—and I absolutely love what I do. I offer dog boarding, doggy daycare, drop-in visits, and dog walks, with flexible availability to fit your schedule. Whether your pup needs a fun-filled day of play or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. My walks may be priced a bit higher, but they come with added value: if you’d like, I’ll incorporate leash manners and basic obedience training into the walk at no extra cost. It’s a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically engaged while reinforcing positive behavior. My doggy daycare service is perfect for busy pet parents who want their dogs to enjoy a full day of enrichment and social time in a safe environment. I offer transportation for daycare (and overnight boarding) within a reasonable distance in my dedicated van, which is equipped with secure crates for safe and comfortable travel. Your dog will have access to a full acre of securely fenced yard to run, play, and explore—plus a dog-friendly pool to cool off in during hot days! To ensure a safe and structured environment, all dogs will be crate rotated throughout the day. Crate rotation provides dogs with the rest and structure they need while preventing overstimulation and helping maintain a peaceful group dynamic. Safety is always my number one priority! I’ve previously worked in an animal hospital, so I’m also experienced in administering medications and providing attentive care for dogs with special health needs. Whether it’s pills, or a customized care routine, I make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for. Right now, I’m in the exciting process of growing my dog boarding and training business full-time. I’ve completely finished and transformed my basement into a dedicated board-and-train facility to provide a safe, clean, and enriching environment for every dog that stays with me. I’m currently working on obtaining all the proper licensing to operate at the highest professional standard. For now we’re going through Rover! For everyone’s safety, all dogs staying overnight will be crated during sleeping hours and when unsupervised. This helps ensure the well-being of your pup as well as the safety of other dogs in my care. Each crate setup is comfortable and designed to help your dog feel secure and relaxed. I bring energy and enthusiasm to every interaction—whether I’m caring for a laid-back senior dog or working with a high-drive sport dog. I also compete in dog sports with my own dogs, so I’m extremely comfortable handling all energy levels. While I’m not yet a certified dog trainer, I’m actively working toward professional dog training credentials to continue growing my knowledge and giving each dog the best care possible. I use only positive, reward-based training methods that help dogs feel safe, confident, and loved. If you’re looking for someone who brings both experience and heart to every visit, walk, or overnight stay, I’d love to meet you and your pup. I truly can’t wait to meet my new clients—both human and canine—and welcome every dog into my care as if they were my own. Your pup will be treated like family every step of the way!! Positive Puppy Training Sessions 🐾 I offer private, positive-based puppy training sessions designed to help your pup build confidence, learn good manners, and strengthen their bond with you. • Single Session: $90 • Training Bundle: $80/session (4 sessions total – 1 session a week for a month) The bundle covers all the puppy basics: ✅ Recall (coming when called) ✅ Sit, Stay, and Down ✅ Leash Manners ✅ Handling Puppy Biting Every session is fun, personalized, and focused on setting you and your puppy up for long-term success. ✨ Free consultations available! I’m happy to chat with you beforehand to see how I can best support you and your pup. Taking care of pets is what I do every day—it’s the heart of my business. I offer full-time boarding, daycare, and training from my home, which is set up just for dogs. Every day is planned around keeping dogs safe, happy, and engaged, making sure each one gets the attention and care they deserve. At my home, dogs enjoy a safe, structured environment with crate rotation, a fenced acre to run, and a pool to cool off. I treat every dog like my own, keeping things fun but safe. For drop-ins and walks, I follow any care instructions closely and can include basic training or medication if needed. Your dog’s safety and happiness always come first!

About: I grew up with a German Shepherd, and that experience sparked a lifelong passion for dogs—especially larger breeds. I’m very comfortable handling big dogs and understand their strength, energy, and unique personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for many different breeds and sizes, but I’ve always had a soft spot for gentle giants. Whether it’s going for long walks, engaging in active play, or just offering a calm, reassuring presence, I always treat every dog with love, patience, and respect. Hi there! My name is Ana (35 years old) and I’m living with my sweet cat, Libby (11 years old). I absolutely love animals and treat every pet like part of the family.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs!

About: I have had a love for animal my whole life. I have had the opportunity to take of my friend's dogs. I would pet sit for my mother's dogs for years and gained lots of experience. I currently own a 2 year old, spade, Golden Doodle named Yumi with my girlfriend. I'm in-between jobs at the moment, so I will have plenty of time to care and play with your pups. My schedule is completely open. I usually walk my dog every 3-4 hours. There is plenty of yard space for play outside. Usually feeding is 2 times a day unless otherwise specified by the owner

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other animals since I was a child. Family and friends trust me with looking after their beloved animals while they are on vacation or simply just away for the day. I love playing with, walking, or just giving them some extra love. I am currently working full time until about 5pm. I will be available for walks any day after 5pm. I am free on the weekends for walks at anytime of the day with a couple days notice. I will make sure if we are out to keep your dog on a leash and be aware of other animals that we might see while on our walk. I will make sure your dog will have ample amount to drink as well as time to use the restroom to eliminate the chance for dehydration and accidents in the house.

“Kelly is a wonderful pet sitter! She took great care of our couple of cats and had no problem with administering meds. She sent pictures each visit and was a great communicator. I’d definitely hire her as a sitter again!”

About: I have taken care of all types of animals since a very young age, I have a dog and two cats which are very spoiled. For a little over a year I worked in a dog training facility that gave me lots of experience and knowledge. I am not only capable of taking care of healthy dogs I can also care for those sick as well, I’ve had experience with tumors, cancer, Lyme disease etc. I can’t wait to meet your furry loved ones! I currently am working full time as a caretaker, looking for something to help fill my extra time. I am favored for my consistent schedule and reliability. In your home I will go over what needs to be done or certain “rules” you might have as many people do within their home.

About: From senior lads to little pups, I've been with them all! Four years and counting in the vet field has taught me every pet has their own personality. While some may prefer calm and quiet and others energetic and outgoing, my focus is, and will always be, your pet's individual needs first. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my schedule, part-time work with dedicated morning, midday, and evening availability as well as open weekends. Your pet's well being is my priority, ensuring they receive loving attention whenever you need. Shy, nervous, or extremely outgoing - I've worked with and encountered countless different personalities and breeds. My utmost priority will always be your pet's comfort. Working as a vet assistant for several years has taught me the importance of body language and patience no matter the setting!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I have been pet sitting for a little over three years now! I currently have my own pets: two cats, and a dog. I have a few families whom I sit for regularly. I have had experience caring for puppies-senior dogs with special needs, diapers, and medications, as well as kittens-senior cats! My whole life I have been caring for pets of my own, as well as those of friends and family. My boyfriend has been sitting with me for well over 2 years now and has a lot of experience caring for many different animals. We have helped a few families out with training as well so that they can stay as close to their normal routine as possible! I’m currently working full time at UConn, but my boyfriend is working remotely. This being said he would be able to provide plenty of potty breaks throughout the day. We can both provide walks and plenty of play time morning and night as well! I am very flexible with whatever routine you would like me to follow for your fur babies! Personally, I have an electric fence for my dog at home, but I still go out with her, as she does not like to be alone! Although my cats are indoor cats, they LOVE being outside, so on nice days I will take them out on a leash and sun bathe with them!
