“Excellent communication and very thorough during first meeting - even remembered to ask about medications (good thing since I neglected to mention it). Happy cat & guinea pig upon our return. Will definitely book again!”
“Thank you, Janice and Noah! I can see that B basked in your attention and amazing that E is overcoming her shyness to come out to see you. It’s so good to be able to rest easy while we’re away knowing that the girls are in good hands.”
About: I have had dogs growing up all my life. I am currently s bio (pre - vet) major with experience from internships in animal care. But its not just about the skills I’ve gathered, I have always genuinely cared about the animals around me! Whether they are pets, wild animals, etc. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to fit pet care into my schedule!! Other than Mondays and Wednesdays, my schedule is very flexible!! I have two friendly dogs. They are both elders so they need rest and cuddles more than anything. When they were younger and more active, we would play fetch and take walks around our neighborhood!
“Ashley took amazing care of our two kitties while we were on our honeymoon. We were able to have a stress-free trip knowing we could count on her to be there twice a day to feed them AND spend time with them! I will definitely be booking Ashley next time we go away, and you should too! She’s very sweet and intentional with animals. ❤️”
“Christine was not only friendly and helpful but she was understanding of our dog’s breed and gave us such a piece of mind! She went above and beyond making it easy to highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pup. Thank you Christine!”

About: Hi there! I have 15 years of pet experience, especially with dogs, but most importantly love animals. Beyond prior pet care and volunteer experience, I've spent the last 5 years fostering dogs and have had my own dogs, one stubborn pup currently (house sitting without her), giving me the opportunity to care for and work with dogs of a wide range of needs both health wise and behaviorally. I love getting to know new pups of all ages, shapes and personalities and will be sure to provide them with the best time away from their family possible, following any routine and needs they have. Although notice is great, I am happy to take last minute bookings. With my work I can easily fit my schedule to your dog's typical exercise, engagement, and feeding routine. I would care for them however you request, and however they’re used to being taken care of. I’d follow whatever care instructions you provide along with any notes shared with me during our meet and greet.

About: I’m a passionate animal lover and dedicated pet caregiver based in Sharon, CT. I’ve always had a deep connection with animals and believe they bring joy and unconditional love into our lives. As a pet sitter, my goal is to provide your pets with the same level of care, attention, and affection that you do. With years of pet sitting experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a wide range of animals. I have a special soft spot for dogs having cared for breeds of all sizes and temperaments. My experience includes administering medications, handling special dietary needs, and providing ample exercise and playtime to keep your pets happy and healthy. As the assistant manager for my family’s business, I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to accomodate your pet care needs for bookings When caring for pets in their home, I priortize maintaining their regular routine to keep them comfortable and stress free.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for more than 10 years. I have done long term house sitting for multiple dogs, as well as walking or day care. I am comfortable with all types of dogs. My schedule follows normal school hours. I am available on weekends, evenings after 5, all holidays and all summer long. My schedule is fluid during the day, so I can leave and come back as well. I have one fur baby who is very friendly, but I can also crate her. Whenever we go outside I make sure to have her leash on, and respect other’s privacy.
About: I have had pets throughout my life, and my deep love for animals is what makes me a great pet sitter. Regardless of the creature, I will love your animal and will provide the best care possible. I am infinitely playful and loving. I’m currently a stay at home mom and have a very flexible schedule. I have a lot of freedom while my children are at school between 7-3 and after 4:30 when my husband returns home from work. We have a very sweet miniature Dachshund who LOVES playing with other dogs. I do not have a fenced in yard and will take your pup for walks to ensure he/she is getting exercise. Our Dachshund can play with your dog inside, and can either accompany your dog on a walk or can stay behind while I walk your pup.

Alexander S.
“I’ve had the pleasure of trusting Alex with my dogs multiple times, and I can confidently say he is one of the most skilled, compassionate, and reliable people I’ve met when it comes to working with dogs—of any breed. Whether it’s a high-energy shepherd, a stubborn bulldog, or a timid rescue, Alex knows exactly how to approach each dog with the right balance of patience and kindness. His calm demeanor put both dogs and owners at ease. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely passionate about dogs of all shapes and sizes, Alex is the one. I highly recommend!”

Chrissie D.
“Chrissie is an extremely attentive and patient dog-lover who is currently the owner of a beautiful medium-sized dog named Nadia. I have watched Chrissie train Nadia, who suffers from severe separation anxiety, with a firm and loving demeanor over the last year, and it is clear that Chrissie is very calm and keeps her composure in high-stress situations for Nadia's benefit. She has watched my own terrier-mix, Rocco, on many occasions, and Rocco absolutely adores her. Chrissie has been reliable, consistent, and adaptable with Rocco, and she obviously knows how to read dogs very well. She is also super flexible with her time, which has been a huge plus for me! I am 100% confident that Chrissie would make an excellent dog-walker for any pup, and you should most definitely consider her for Rover!”

Mai H.
“Mai is the best! She recently took care of my golden retriever and three cats while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I met Mai, I could tell she genuinely loves animals. She followed all my instructions and even took the time to learn about each pet’s unique needs and personalities. Mai went above and beyond by spending extra playtime with my dog and ensuring my cats felt comfortable and loved. She sent regular updates with photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. My pets seemed happy and content when I returned home. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family.”
Abe B.
“Abe watched out two dogs for us. He did a great job taking them on lots of walks, playing with them, and making sure all their nutritional needs were met. He was so kind to our dogs and made us completely comfortable with him taking care of them. He sent lots of pics and gave us updates on how they were doing. I highly recommend him!”
Hannah S.
“I can’t say enough positive things about our new pet sitter Hannah! She went above and beyond what I asked of her. I have an older Labrador retriever that has never been boarded and has only stayed with family. Hannah took her into her home, walked her several times a day around her beautiful land, sent us daily pictures and updated us everyday. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that she was having a good time and being well taken care of. We will definitely be using her again!”
