Dog Sitting Suffield

About: As a certified and insured pet sitter I am qualified to care for a variety of pets. I am a calm and nurturing which helps me to gain animals' trust. I have had a lot of experience with shy or feral cats. As a pet owner of a severely asthmatic cat, I am adept at giving medications, such as pills and inhalers. I am a special education teacher and am off for the summer. I am also available after school and on weekends to do visits or pet sitting. I prefer to care for pets in their own home so that they are more comfortable and less stressed. I can do check-in or longer visits.

“Arin was responsive, reliable, and my pup adored her. Will definitely use her again.”

About: Dogs are my full-time career and lifelong passion. I specialize in creating low-stress, individualized care using Fear Free and positive reinforcement methods, with a special interest in fearful, reactive, and special-needs dogs. My experience includes: * Fear Free Boarding & Daycare: 6-hour course and exam covering canine body language, facility design, safe dog interactions and play, positive reinforcement training, behavior, physical health and wellness, and medication administration to minimize fear, anxiety, and stress. * Victoria Stilwell Academy Dog Training Fundamentals graduate (positive reinforcement). * American Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR Certified. * 3+ years volunteering with Dakin Humane Society, specializing in fearful, reactive, and behaviorally complex dogs. * Assisting with positive reinforcement group classes at Tails U Win. * 5 Years of fostering rescue dogs. * Experienced in training, enrichment, behavior modification, wellness monitoring, and medication administration, including oral medications and injections. * Specialized experience working with deaf dogs using visual communication and American Sign Language (ASL). I also share my life with a deaf, reactive special-needs dog who has earned her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title and participates in agility, Fast CAT, Happy Ratters, and other dog sports. * Licensed wildlife rehabilitator, providing medical care and rehabilitation for injured and orphaned wildlife. * Dedicated to caring for one family at a time, allowing every dog to receive individualized attention in a calm, low-stress environment. Pet care is my full-time profession, so my schedule revolves entirely around the dogs in my care. I typically care for only one family at a time, allowing me to provide personalized routines, enrichment, exercise, and constant supervision. I want every dog to feel at home, so I do not use kennels, pens, or crates unless you request it or it's necessary for your dog's safety. I also sleep in the dog care building overnight, so your dog can receive companionship and attentive care 24/7. Your dog's safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my highest priorities. Because of this, I care for one family's dog(s) at a time, unless otherwise discussed, which allows for us to create a calm, low-stress environment without unfamiliar dogs. Dogs stay with me in a dedicated, professionally designed, climate-controlled dog care building with heating, air conditioning, and continuous Wi-Fi and cellular temperature monitoring. Outside, they enjoy a fully fenced 2-acre yard with secure 5-foot fencing, dog-safe vegetation for natural enrichment, shaded rest areas, play structures, agility equipment, and supervised swimming in a 700-gallon chemical-free dog pool (owner approval needed). Every stay includes individualized enrichment, toys, and treats tailored to your dog's preferences, routine, and any dietary needs, allergies, or sensitivities.

About: Hi! I’m Abby, and I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was young. From tiny pups to large breeds, energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, I have experience with dogs of every size, age, and personality. I’ve spent years dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, always treating each dog with the same love and attention I’d give my own. Whether we’re out for a walk or enjoying some extra playtime, your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. As a PA student in my clinical year, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks and check-ins at various times during the day. I provide care for your pet in the comfort of their own home, sticking to their routines and providing walks, play time, or cuddles. I’m always happy to send a photo of your pet so you know they’re happy and safe while you’re away!

“Sam is coming consistently to let out my Daisy and I couldn’t be more at ease knowing she is taken care of every day!! Thank you, Sam!!”

Debbie A.

“Sarah is an amazing help! I used her consistently for almost 2 months while I was busy in school. She came by multiple times a week (sometimes with short notice) to check on my pup. She cared for him like he was her own and I never had any hesitations with her. I would HIGHLY recommend Sarah!”

Caitlin H.

“Adriana was WONDERFUL. I was nervous leaving four shy cats and a 14 year old dog for three days, but she put my mind at ease by being on time, sending informative rover cards, and providing great care (even to the one cat who’s SO shy she never even saw him.) You’ve got to be good to care for an invisible cat but she did it!”

Heather S.

“Brittany’s amazing and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my cats were in great care! She took the time to go out of her way and stop over for a meet and greet before we left which made me feel at ease. Great communication and sent pictures of our cats snuggling up. One of my cats is shy to warm up to new people but she truly is an animal whisperer and he was laying down right by her feet the second he met her! Thanks Brittany!”

Julia A.

“thank you!”

Maxwell A.

“Deborah provided excellent consistent service to check in on my 2 cats while I was on vacation for a weeks. Deborah provided great communication and detail about each visit. I will look forward to booking her in the future. Thanks”

“Liz is amazing! She was incredibly attentive and caring with our cats and kept us updated throughout the whole process, which really put my mind at ease while I was out of the country. She went the extra mile, and we’re so happy we found her. Thank you, Liz! 💗🐱”

“Lissette is very communicative and easy to work with. She took great care of our cat while we were away on vacation.”

About: Hey there! I’m Milo, a pet sitter of 6 years, and a dog walker since childhood. I have a diverse range of experience with all ages and breeds of dogs, and am confident that I can find a way to work well alongside your pup! Whether a quick check in for a game and a potty break, a 30 minute walk around town, or a few overnights so they never get lonely, I am excited to get to know your furry friends and give them the best day possible! I work part time at a dog daycare, where I am responsible for working with up to 45 dogs at once. This means that I will be able to give your pup corrections in the right way, as well as being able to handle any stubborn, stressed, or scared temperaments. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as high energy or low/stubborn energy. I am not grossed out easily, so any pups with stomach issues are in great hands. Feel free to ask about medication administration if needed as well! I am open to any and all questions, so please reach out so we can make a good match! I am currently a college student working part time, but with close visits I can fit in a walk or potty break almost anytime during the week. Overnights are available Thursday through Sunday, or upon special request. Any scheduling issues please reach out, as my schedule is flexible. I am happy to settle into any type of home, and with the appropriate fenced yard I can play, run, or even just watch from afar to meet your pups needs. I am able to administer medications upon request, and will make sure they are in bed on schedule if I am staying overnight. Overall I am simply happy to adjust and be flexible to meet any of your pups needs.

About: I've taken care of my family's dogs since I was a child, but I've especially loved the joy of having my own pets over the last 5 years. I've trained and grown two healthy fur babies of my own, and have loved helping dozens more. Would love to help you care for your fur baby when & in the way you need it! I currently have a flexible full time job where I'm used to driving all over. Would love to have moments making your dog's day throughout my day! I am committed to making everyone have a good & safe experience, to the best of my ability - your pup, you as the pet parent, and myself!

“Erica was wonderful . I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies.”

“Maryann did a wonderful job and truly went above and beyond for my cats. She gave great daily updates, left the home cleaner than we left it, and I can tell she really loves animals and they love her! Highly recommend her to be your sitter.”

About: I've had a passion for caring for animals ever since I can remember. I would often pet sit for friends and family and I quickly learned I wanted to spend my life working with animals. Fast forward to the present, I am a full-time pet sitter that keeps a special place in my heart for each and every four-legged friend I've been able to care for! Pet care is my full-time job, so your pet is my top priority! I am available every weekday, weekends, and most holidays. I am available for overnight stays and drop-in visits. Overnight stays allow your pet to have someone there all day and all night to get the love they need while you can't be there; and drop-in visits allow your pet to get the care they need at the times they are used to at a frequency you pick. Feel at ease knowing your pet is in the comfort of their own home able to carry out their normal routine- whatever feeding, potty, and walk times your furry friend is used to.

About: I’ve always wanted my own pet, but because my friends had their own; I’ve been able to take care of pets since 2015. I have an abundance of love to give to my friends pets everytime I see them. My friends have trusted to leave their pets with me to take care of and pets love to see their aunty (me) when I come over ☺️ I’m currently working part time (from home mostly) & contract (in person). Depending on everyone’s schedule I’m pretty flexible. I try to have breaks around 12-2pm, and finish the rest of my work day around 7pm. Depending on the house, I let pets out in the backyard to potty or I will walk them around the neighborhood. I feed them at their designated time. I make sure to play and love on them through out the day.
