“Ava did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 dogs and cat. She sent lots of pictures and loved on our pets while we were gone. Will definitely be reaching out again for our pets!”


“Rachel took care of Flapjack while we were out of town and did a phenomenal job. She provided daily detailed updates and multiple pictures, which we loved. Her updates gave us reassurance that he was well cared for. Rachel went above and beyond, bringing in our mail and checking for packages for us. We appreciate the peace of mind having Rachel as a sitter brought us, and will absolutely request her again in the near future!”


About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends, neighbors and family members since I was 10. I have potty trained and taught basic commands to my dogs, fed and cared for cats, guinea pigs and ball pythons. Pets are part of the family and should get high quality care regardless of their owners scheduling requirements. I'm working part time over the summer and looking to have pets to care for in my spare time. My availability is pretty open with the exception of 9am to 12pm Monday through Thursday in July. I would love to play with your pets, bring them for walks, provide food, water, love and attention. I genuinely care for all animals and would love to get to spend time with your pet.

“Kristen is amazing with my pup and has been wonderful to work with. She is on time and ensures that any anxieties I have are lessened and has been flexible and accommodating to my schedule!”


“They were great! Incredibly responsive, sent lots of photos of our cats while we were on vacation. Played with them and scooped the litter box. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a great cat sitter, and I’ll be booking with them again in the future!”


“Bekka watched my two cats while I was away. One of my cats has some separation anxiety, but thanks to Bekka when I returned he seemed such calmer and happier than he usually does when I go away. She took great care of both cats. I highly recommend Bekka as a pet sitter!”


About: I've had dogs throughout my adult life and regularly care for a friend's three cats, so I'm no stranger to a variety of pet personalities! While I’m currently pet-free, I’d love the opportunity to care for yours. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow your instructions closely to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I exclusively house sit in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings. Whether your pet enjoys long walks or prefers lounging on the couch all day, I’m happy to match their energy. I have a special place in my heart for senior pets and bring a calm, patient presence to ensure they get the gentle care they need. I’m likely the best fit for your weekend getaways, as I work a 9–5 job outside the home on weekdays. That said, if your pet is comfortable being alone during the day — or if you're located near my workplace in Willimantic — I would be able to swing by for lunch-time drop-ins. Outside of work hours, you can count on me to spend plenty of quality time at home with your pet. I understand how important it is for your pet to receive the same level of care they get from you. I take note of all the details you share — from feeding routines and approved treats to medication schedules and special instructions. I believe this: your pets, your home, your rules. During our initial meet-and-greet, I’ll likely ask plenty of questions to make sure I have everything I need to provide the best care possible.

About: I’ve always had dogs of my own since I was little, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve looked after dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to slower-moving seniors—and I’m comfortable with things like crate training, giving medications, and sticking to your pet’s routine. I truly love being around animals. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need lots of playtime or just a calm, cozy space, I adapt to meet their needs. Even with a busy schedule as a student-athlete, I always make time for pet care. I’m available mornings, during the day, evenings, and weekends, and I’m willing to adjust things to make it work for you and your pup! When caring for pets in your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get their walks, meals, playtime, and any special care they need... all while respecting your space and keeping everything tidy. They’ll have a safe space, plenty of attention, and lots of love!

“Sarah was absolutely amazing, I really felt so comfortable that my Finnegan was in great hands with her! I was able to get away and literally not have any stress or concerns about my dogs well being! Thank you so much Sarah and thank you for the updates on every visit and the pictures too :)”


“Once again, Emma is the best! She took great care of our pups as always. Takes great pictures too. We always feel so at ease knowing she’s looking after our two dogs.”


“Lindsey went above and beyond taking care of my 2 dogs last minute for me. She followed instructions and communicated with me throughout the day, using the Rover app check-in and sending me pics and updates. She even noticed my Pekingese, Holly, was overdo for a haircut and asked if it was ok to brush/groom her. She did an awesome job and Holly very much appreciated it! Will definitely ask Lindsey to sit again.”



“Andrea was so excellent to work with - we felt completely comfortable having her look after our cats when we went out of town for a long weekend. She was communicative, professional, and made sure that she had all of the information she needed to best care for our girls. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend you do as well!”


About: I have had dogs my whole life. I grew up with a Rhodesian Ridgeback. Once married, my husband and I rescued two Black and Tan Coonhounds and most recently we rescued two Redbone Coonhounds. We currently have one dog, Cliff, who is a Redbone Coonhound. He is like most dogs - spoiled! We usually take three walks a day…it’s what we do and love! We have also fostered a handful of dogs for local animal rescues. I am looking forward to helping other people with their dog's needs! Thank you! I work from home except on Mondays when I go to the office. I am very fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Safety is incredibly important when it comes to pet care. We have an electric fence at home that our dog is completely trained on so he's lucky to have the freedom to come in and out as he wants. Using proper leashes and harnesses is very important to me when walking dogs in addition to always having water on hand.

About: I’m passionate about helping dogs and their owners. I’ve worked with several rescue dogs and understand the special care and attention they need. I recently had my own personal foster pup find her forever home!! Now, I have the time to assist other dog owners with walks and daily routines. Whether you have a busy schedule or just need an extra hand, I’d love to help keep your dog happy and active. Let’s connect to discuss how I can support your pup’s needs! I have a masters degree in social work and work in an elementary school! I love working with kids and giving back to communities. Although, that does make me unavailable for the furry friends until 4/5 pm M-F (depending on your location). I have full availability on the weekends. I can do mornings M-F depending on your location and time. Please message me with any questions or concerns. I am flexible and happy to work collaboratively to figure something out! I always keep the safety of your pet as my top priority, making sure they’re secure and comfortable at all times. 🐾 I also believe in giving each animal an active and fun experience, whether it’s through exciting walks, playtime, or adventures that keep them engaged and happy! 🐕💨 Whatever you might or might not be comfortable with, please communicate that with me! . I am flexible and happy to work collaboratively to figure something out!

“10/10 fantastic dog watcher/walker/sitter and overall person. I immediately could tell she cared about my pup and I trust her to take care of him the same way I would! Absolutely recommend 👌🏼”


About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve grown up around dogs and have personally raised both a German Shepherd and a Yorkie Terrier, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’ve also cared for cats, horses, and farm animals for years, so I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and ages. From feeding and walking to bathing and playtime, I’ve done it all. I’m great at reading animal behavior and helping them feel safe, happy, and well-cared for. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I work part-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m available on my days off as well as before or after my shifts. I love spending time with animals, so I’m excited to fill my free time caring for pets and helping out fellow pet parents whenever I can! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow your routine as closely as possible so your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. I stick to feeding and walk schedules, give them lots of love and attention, and always keep an eye on their behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. I also treat your home with respect—keeping things clean, secure, and just the way you left them. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel totally comfortable and at ease during the time I’m there.

“Olivia is awesome! She did a 30 min check in for our pup, and it went super smoothly. She sent some awesome pics and had good communication. I would choose her again!”


About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. Even through college and grad school, I had roommates with pets. Now I’m living in a rental that doesn’t allow animals, so I’m hoping to find some local pets to care for and spend time with! I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages and activity levels since I was young, and I enjoy taking dogs for walks any time of year! I’m a middle school teacher, so I have a pretty consistent schedule from August-June. Most days I’m able to leave work by 3, so I have all afternoon and evening to care for pets. In the summer and on breaks, I have a lot more flexibility with my schedule. I do have a small fenced in yard in case I had a client’s pet in my home, though I’d more than likely care for the pets in the client’s home. I have experience feeding, bathing, crating, giving meds, walking, and snuggling dogs of all ages and activity levels, as well as feeding and giving meds to cats.

About: I grew up with an Aussie and an Australian Lab, now housing 2 cats as well. Very patient, physical aptitude for in case of larger dogs. When I am home from breaks I enjoy taking out my two pups for a walk, or taking them on a car ride to the dog park! Personal home not suitable for pet watching. But I will ensure the utmost respect and care for every individual client’s home as if it were my own.

About: My family has always had pets. In my adulthood, I have owned and trained a yellow lab and chocolate lab and currently have a black lab named Kingston. He is my best friend and his amazing. We also have a tabby cat named Biggie Smalls. He is very sweet. I am looking forward to the opportunity to spending time with your amazing pet friends and caring for them as if they’re my own. I am a 20 year teacher with the summers off and I’m available six days a week. I spend my summer months catching up on yardwork and vacationing with my family and can be available to assist in times of need for your pets. I can be available to care for your pets both at your home and take them for walks when needed. I am flexible with requests.

I also can attest to this because she takes care of my dog all of the time and he adores her!!”
