“Marna was absolutely wonderful with our cat! She was very reliable and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a relaxing vacation and our pet was well cared for! I would highly recommend her! :)”

“Nishat graciously accepted our last minute booking, and she was able to do a meet & greet that night. Our cats seemed to feel comfortable around Nishat that very first evening, which helped us feel better about leaving our babes for the weekend. We received multiple photos after each visit and a brief update. Nishat's communications were prompt, positive, and friendly. We appreciate that she went out of her way (figuratively and literally - because she lived about 30 minutes away) to care for our cats like her own and clean up after each feeding. We highly recommend Nishat as a cat care giver! Thank you, Nishat!”

“Madeleine was great with my golden Layla! I sent a last minute booking and she was very timely with her response to my rover request and followed all instructions given!”


“Amy was fantastic! She was able to take care of Pepper on short notice and I’m so glad we were able to make it work. Pepper absolutely loved her! We’ll definitely work with Amy again.”

“Jesika is great! I can always trust her to be kind to my pets, give them attention and take good care of them! She is mature, responsible and caring. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, so I’m very comfortable with care taking, from walks, to feeding, bathroom breaks, enrichment/play, vet needs, medication, etc. My dog has unique needs I trust sitters with, so I’ll ensure your pets are taken great care of, and stick to their normal routine and get lots of pets and love. I’m a federal employee who’s currently furloughed so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your pets on a schedule that works for you and them. My dog doesn’t do great with other pets so I don’t offer services in my own home, but I will do drop in visits and walks from yours! I like being prepped with all the right information I need to find your pet’s food, toys, leash, etc. and am happy to drop in to get any extra explanation in person beforehand if needed. While I’m providing services I’ll be sure to send lots of pictures of your pet so you can see them happy, healthy, and having fun! I’ll be available if you need to contact me at any time during the period I’m caring for your pet.
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. When staying at your home, I will treat it just as my own with respect and consideration for you and your family and your privacy. I am very tidy and will leave your home cleaner than you left it!
“Sera was so communicative and responsive! She went above and beyond with my cat- made sure to spend quality time with him and sent detailed updates. I look forward to working with her again!”

“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.”

“Priscilla was so so wonderful!! She is sweet and caring and takes exceptional care of your furry loves. Priscilla gave me such peace knowing my cat Gracie was well looked after! Included pictures and great info after every visit !”

About: I've been training and caring for dogs my whole life, growing up with a mother as a vet, I have experienced every kind of pet and love interacting with them. I'm missing my animals being away from home and would love to help by walking and caring for your pets! I am a young professional in the area working a hybrid schedule during normal business hours. I have time during the day and after work to walk dogs and provide check ins! I am missing my pets and want to get outside with some pups in the neighborhood! I would love to offer to board, but sadly my housing does not allow pets at this point, I am looking mainly for walking and check-in positions!
About: if you're busy and unable to walk your dog, then I'm your gal. I will provide them the much needed enrichment that they deserve while you're away and give you updates along the way. I work three days a week and have full flexibility with the remaining four. my schedule is set with my other job, so my reliability is as consistent as it can be. I will provide personalized one on one care for your dog or pet at your discretion. With my medical experience, I am also very comfortable and adept at treating common conditions in senior animals or in sick animals.
“Melissa is great! I’ve booked her several times now and she is always great with my cat and super responsive. She provides awesome reports and pictures of her visits and I always trust her to watch my cat when I have to travel!”
