About: I’m experienced with High energy breeds and dogs of all temperaments. I have cared for a spirited German short haired pointer daily since she was a puppy, ensuring her exercise and play needs were met to support her older owner. I’ve also cared for various needy dogs, tailoring playtime to their unique energy levels whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys. Beyond exercise, I provide plenty of cuddles to make dogs feel loved while their owners are away. My goal is to provide your dog with the same love and attention that you do! My schedule is mostly flexible. I am able to accommodate weekday bookings and weekends with advance notice. I can also offer holiday care when requested. I have experience with dogs that have a tendency to pull on the lead during walks. I have learned the best way to handle this is to shorten the leash, offer positive affirmations and treats for good behavior. Tell me more about your dog so I can ensure they will be safe!
“Amber is great! Charlie is usually shy when he meets a new person, but he warmed up to her right away! She took him on a nice, long walk and sent great pictures. I feel confident using her routinely going forward! 10/10!”
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’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!
“Bekka was wonderful with my dog Spencer! She took him for a nice walk and then threw some toys around for him as well. He loved his time with Bekka! Will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I've surrounded by domestic animals since I was very little growing up in a farm. As an adult I always had a pet and took care of family and friend's pets. I run an online business and I am home most the time. I will have plenty of time to watch and take care of your pet. I lived with my husband in a very large house and a fenced backyard. Plus a have a friendly medium side dog who loves other pets. He would be a great companion for your furry baby.
About: I love animals & have had many--from turtles & fish to cats & dogs & goats. Its such a pleasure to tend to them & just be with them. I'm super responsible & your pet will be my priority the entire time you are away. It will be such fun! Experience with older dogs & cats as well as special needs dogs & cats :) I only accept 30 minute drop-ins and walks within a 5 mile radious from my home. Over 5 mile radius requires a 45 minute or an hour walk or drop in! I am a freelance worker which gives me ample opportunity to accommodate to your pet's and your schedule needs. I have a very flexible schedule. Since I myself have had stay-in-sitters for my pets; I know how important it is to have a truly attentive & responsible sitter in order to relax while you are away. While you are away I will ensure that your pets daily feeding, walking & companionship needs are met. WE will have such a great time together!
“Emma was so trustworthy and reliable in walking my dog Zoey twice daily when I was out of town for 10 days. I had left Zoey with my 86 yr old mother who was unable to walk her, so I was thrilled to find someone so capable.”
About: Like many people, I've grown up being surrounded by pets and animals. So, what other path to take than to learn how to properly care for them? Every pet and animal deserves a special amount of attention and care based on their needs. Sometimes life becomes too busy with work or personal trips. Rather than judge you, I'm here to help you. Who says life has to stop being fun when you have responsibilities? There are ways to help yourself and I would love to be there to take one more thing off your mind. Not only am I understanding, knowledgeable, and caring, but I will ensure the absolute best for your pets as they are a part of your family. I work part-time to get myself through college, but with that, I have plenty of free time where I can look after your animals. I work online, so if you need me there for a few hours if your pet has anxiety (or just peace of mind), I can be there for a few hours. If you need me there in the early morning or late evening, I can make that happen. Besides my flexible schedule, I can primarily fit pet care into the evenings and early mornings. While Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little slim for me, I can help make it work for your pets for the right price. While I would love to care for your pets in my own home or yours, I have a lovely elderly dog who can not handle the stress of other dogs being around. However, I would be more than happy to commute to your home and look after your dog(s). All I require are the basic necessities to be provided for your dog, such as food and water supplies. If you would like me to walk your dog, then I would also require you to provide a leash and/or harness.
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
“Tennyson is wonderful with our dog! She is super responsive and responsible with him. Our dog can be a bit nervous around new people, but Tennyson’s love of dogs really shined through and put him at ease. Lotus warmed up to her right away. We know Lotus is in great hands when Tennyson walks him.”
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.
“Carla has been great with my girls Mouse and Ivy. She is super dependable. She is always prompt with her communication and always lets me know if there is anything out of the ordinary during her visits and walks, which I appreciate very much. I recommend Carla, without reservation, for your pet care.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and I deeply care for them and love them. They always bring me great joy when I get to play with them and take care of them. I love to go for walks and hikes. I also enjoy going to parks and the beach when possible for long walks. I take care of my parents two cocker spaniels when they are away. I helped train my parents dogs and helped raised them from when they were puppies. I have also fostered an older dog with medical issues and have experience dealing with dog medication. I work full time and am looking to make money on the side. I can stop in before work, middle of day and after work and I’m free weekends. I care for my own pet every day from taking her for walks, food, daily medication and lots of cuddles. Working from home allows me to be flexible with my schedule to include caring for others pets. I care for your pets just a kind and loving as you would. I fully believe they are part of a family and should be treated that way. I will respect your home and any requests you may have for your pets.
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!
About: I have been taking care of cats since my early 20s (20+ years) and I have experience with small to mid sized dogs. I can walk, feed, clean up after your pets while you are away. I am currently working part time from home, so I am easily made available, as needed. Please reach out and we can discuss our options. I have 3 cats and they are indoor cats. At my house I have a medium sized fenced in area for dog's to run and play.

Tyler R.
“Tyler has always shown a deep compassion towards animals and will be a great hire to take care of your pets. He helped take care of our two childhood golden retrievers, and more recently has helped care for two GSP dogs. Outside of his ability to care for pets, especially dogs, Tyler's compassion is what makes him stand out. When visiting me, he would immediately gravitate towards my husband and mine's two senior cats, providing them with the love they desired. In particular, we had one very shy cat and Tyler immediately picked up on that and simply sat near him until our shy cat was ready to engage. When my husband and I have used Rover for our cat care, our preferred caretakers were those who clearly loved animals and went above and beyond to give our animals love, as opposed to simply stopping by to check food/water and then leave. I am very confident Tyler will be a caretaker who will not only ensure your pets have what they need, but he will provide them with all the love and affection that they want. If you're looking for a true animal lover to trust with the care of your fur-babies, Tyler is a great pick!”

Kelsey W.
“Kelsey is a phenomenal pet sitter! She has taken care of my cats for years and not only follows their care instructions to the letter but took the time to get to know them, play with them, and spend quality time with them when I couldn’t be there. I have always been able to leave my pets in her care knowing they would be well cared for. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets!”

Renata G.
“While Renata has never taken care of my pets (I don’t yet have any), I’ve known her for a long time, and have no doubt that she would make an exceptional pet sitter! She has a deep, genuine love for animals, which I’ve seen firsthand in the way she cares for her own pets. She is incredibly loving, kind, and patient, treating them as if they were her own children. Renata goes the extra mile—she spends time shopping for and cooking homemade pet food, and she’s always playing and engaging with them. Even the way she speaks about all her past and present pets, with such passion and warmth, shows just how much they mean to her .She has cared for animals her whole life. In fact, I happen to know that her very first pet was a street dog she rescued as a child. She cared for my partner’s pets while they were alive, and, based on his comments, I would trust her 100% to take care of any furry loved ones.”
Tiffany R.Star Sitter
“Tiffany's attention to detail assures me that Kooshina will be well cared for when I'm gone for a night or two, or more. She really connects with my cat, and not only feeds her as directed, and cleans her litter box, but she'll spend quality time playing with her, interacting or just being. She sends pictures and shares their adventures! My plants even get attention and water, when she cat-sits! As a dog and cat, and turtle and fish parent, Tiffany knows how to talk to the animals! Her kindness and genuine love for animals shows up for the assignment.”
Emma G.Star Sitter

“Sarah was great! She walked our dog on last minute notice when we had to go out of town for the day. Our dog seemed happy and well cared for. Will definitely book again!”
Katherine B.
“I went for a two week vacation to poland to see family and I needed someone to watch my dog for the weeks so I ask around and Katherine accepted the task. She is always super friendly to me and my two dogs . I think she is the very best person to ask for anything. She texted pictures daily to let me know how they were acting. She is one of the best people who I can always rely on.”
