“Marna was super responsive and took really good care of my 11-year-old cat while I was away for 5 days. I really appreciated that I was able to book pretty last minute and my cat seemed happy and healthy when I got back. That’s all I can ask for!”


“Katey is lovely and responsible and I knew my kitty cat was in good hands. It is wonderful to be able to travel and not worry about my kitty. Katey takes lots of sweet photos too. Thank you Katey!”


“Haley Jo took fantastic care of my two kitties while I was away for the weekend. She stopped by twice a day to feed and love on them and I came home to two very happy cats. Will definitely work with Haley Jo again!!”

“Trevor has watched our cats, Mira and Wren, twice and he’s been fantastic every time. He’s super responsive with messages, sends adorable photo updates, and takes the time to play with them and keep them comfortable. Thank you so much Trevor!”



“Stacey is wonderful! She is friendly, reliable, and great with our cat. Our cat has some behavioral issues and is not the easiest to take care of. He's no sweat for her and he's even starting to warm up to her. Stacey is attentive and thorough with her visits with him. We will be using her again and again! :)”

“Nishat was amazing and we will certainly use her again in the future! Very attentive and caring to our kitties and followed all of the instructions. Thank you :)”


“Brian was incredible! Our dog Davey has a very hard time warming up to others but Brian was very patient with him and Davey quickly calmed down around him. He also sent us regular updates and photos to keep us posted while we were away and met up with us before his first visit so we could all get to know each other.”


“Julia was great. Responded immediately, on time for each visit and communication was perfect. Highly recommend. Our special girl Bridget would also give five paw stars.”


“Very personable, and Zoey did a great job caring for my two cats. When I returned home, they were happy, healthy, and their litter had clearly been scooped regularly. I'd definitely book again!”


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.

“Addy is responsive, honest, great with the kitties, and has a fantastic photographic eye - the daily pics we get are priceless. We come home to happy cats and clean litter box every time. Highly recommend.”


“Briana took excellent care of our diabetic cat! She really went above and beyond, playing with him and giving him affection, and is one of only 2 sitters who have successfully been able to administer insulin injections.”


“Sam was responsible, reliable, made sure to provide fresh water and scoop the litter each visit. She was communicative, adaptable and responsive to my cat’s needs. She made me confident that my cat was being well taken care of!”


“Melissa is the best cat sitter! Our cat Triscuit loves her and I know I don’t have to worry when we go on vacation. She sends lots of pictures and updates too. She’s awesome!”


“Crystal was knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind, and consistently cared for my cat via check ins while I was away. It was clear that my cat felt comfortable and adored her attention and care. It was also clear that she adored animals and treated my cat as an individual beloved pet for which I was very grateful. She was also a great communicator. I would confidently recommend her as a pet sitter and rebook in the future - thank you again!”


About: Please call me Jay. Since 2015, I've cared for anxious, reactive, or happy-go-lucky pups. From a shelter environment to dog walking, doggy daycare, and vet emergency rooms, I've had hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I'm currently studying positive reinforcement training and have successfully supported 20+ dog with day to day enrichment and desensitization and self calming. I am able to care for animals for around 30-40hrs a week. I am used to working a full time job with animals and enjoy being able to spend my day working them. Your home is your safe place and your dog's favorite place to be. I work hard to make sure your dog's routine is followed and your home stays just as neat and clean as you left it.

One of the bonds of our friendship is our shared love of animals, and she is always my first choice to watch my own pets when we go out of town.

Sarah S.
“Jay is incredible! My dog is sensitive and reactive, and she can be a challenge for dog sitters (hunger strike, anxiety barking etc). But now, when she sees Jay’s car pull up, she gets wiggly and excited because she knows her friend is here! I can tell that have a great time together, and when I’m back, my dog isn’t extra nervous or clingy. Jay has significant experience with anxious and reactive dogs, and has a really smooth, calming presence that really seems to put my dog at ease. Jay is also very responsive and great providing updates while I’m away. I trust Jay to care for my sweet pup, and could not recommend more highly!”
