“I can’t say enough good things about Trevor! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to make my dogs feel comfortable with him. He showed incredible patience, especially with one of my pups who can be a little shy around new people. It was clear right away how great he is with animals — calm, attentive, and genuinely caring. He followed every single instruction, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my dogs absolutely loved him — their tails were wagging nonstop when he arrived, and they came back from their walks happy and relaxed. It’s not always easy to find someone you fully trust with your pets and I’ll definitely be using his services again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Rose is fantastic with our dog. Kind, prompt, and compassionate. He’s not the most active guy and can be stubborn and Rose has embraced it all. We are so lucky to have found her.”
About: I bring a lifelong love of animals and a wide range of hands-on experience. I grew up caring for animals of all kinds, have walked dogs and supported adoptions in shelter environments, and have provided reliable in-home care through years of house sitting. I’ve also lived with and fostered cats for most of my life—including young, feral, and undersocialized ones—which has given me a strong intuition for reading animal behavior and offering calm, compassionate care. I'm skilled in administering all types of medications and am happy to handle the day-to-day tasks, from walks to litter box deep cleans, with real care and attention. As a self-employed person with a very flexible schedule, I’m able to accommodate pet care throughout the week—including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to tailor my availability to meet the specific needs of each pet and household, whether it’s daily visits, drop-ins, or walks at off-peak hours. When boarding cats in my home, I provide a calm, private room just for them—completely separate from my own cats—to ensure they feel safe and stress-free during their stay. In a client’s home, I’m attentive to any specific routines or safety needs, including crating dogs if requested. I always prioritize a pet’s comfort and well-being, keeping their environment clean, secure, and aligned with what they're used to.
“Christine was very reliable, great communication through the app and was so lovely with caring for our newly adopted 1 year old dog Annabelle. We will be booking her again soon!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up in Alaska raising ducks, chickens, rabbits…even a ferret! I’ve always had dogs and a cats. I currently live with a senior pup and a young cat. We have several backyard chickens too! I worked as a professional dog walker/pet sitter for a number of years in Connecticut. I’m used to being outside rain or shine. I also know the importance of being able to adapt to each pets’ individual needs including special diets or medication. I work from home with a lot of flexibility so with proper planning and coordination I can be there to meet you and your furry friends’ needs. I have a fenced yard and a dog who doesn’t mind the company of other well socialized animals. We do have a cat and small child so please consider that before booking. If staying at your home, I will treat it just as my own with respect and consideration for you and your family and your privacy.

Whenever she comes to the house, the dogs go bananas because they know they're about to have an adventure. Akemi might be small in stature, but she handles two big dogs and their weird personalities with ease, and knows when to take breaks for my senior dog. I highly recommend her as a dog walker!”
