Tina is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of my diabetic cat Buddy! Right off the bat when I first met Tina I got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with Buddy! When I came home after my week away Buddy was relaxed and happy.

About: I grew up owning 2 dogs and I have experience working in shelters as well as pet stores. I’m an animal lover who knows meeting the specific needs of each pet is necessary and important to complete my job. Currently, I work 2nd shift full time and I am able to take short term bookings (up to 2 weeks) for animal care. My availability is varied. I work 2nd shift full time Sun-Thurs, so I am available in the mornings on those days. Fridays & Saturdays I have open availability. I will follow your instructions and care for your pet as if it were my own. As someone who has owned pets with various temperaments and medical conditions, I am flexible to accommodations that are needed.

Sarah has been amazing to work with. She’s incredibly reliable, very communicative, and just an all-around friendly, positive person. My dog loved her instantly and now gets so excited every time she sees her, which says everything. She takes her on long walks and always sends great photo updates, so I feel completely at ease knowing how well she’s doing. It’s clear she genuinely cares. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pet!

About: Hi! My husband and I are home full-time with our sweet dog, Susie—she loves having friends over. We’re in a duplex in Norwich with a private yard for safe play and potty breaks. Your pet will get attentive care, a comfy routine, and frequent photo updates so you can travel worry-free. We’re animal lovers who’ll send frequent updates and follow your instructions so your pet’s routine stays as normal as possible :) Any questions? Please reach out anytime! We’re home full-time; our schedule is flexible: walks, feedings, playtime, and meds fit easily. We can mirror your pet’s routine and send updates throughout the day :) At our home: We start with a slow, supervised intro with our dog, Susie, and can offer separate spaces if needed. Pets enjoy our private yard for supervised potty/play and neighborhood leash walks. Meals and meds follow your schedule; crates are welcome if that’s their routine. Expect calm naps, toys/enrichment, and frequent photo/text updates. In your home: We mirror your pet’s routine exactly—feeding, meds, walks, crates/litter—while prioritizing safety with harness/leash checks and weather-aware timing. We respect your home (lights/locks, tidy bowls/litter) and can bring in mail or water plants. You’ll get an update after every visit with pics and notes, and we happily tailor care for shy or special-needs pets.

Emily looked after our two fur babies for a week while we were out of state. I was initially worried about how they would cope with us being away for an extended period but Emily made sure to ask about their habits to best understand their routines. While we were away, Emily kept me fully up to date and also sent over lots of great photos. Emily worked her magic to win them over and by the end of the week they were in love. Emily is a fantastic cat sitter who kept them well fed and entertained while easing my guilt for leaving them. I returned home to two content cats and their litter box was clean and tidy. I definitely recommend Emily’s services, she's a true cat whisperer.

Melissa was amazing and took excellent care of our three babies while we were gone for three weeks! We have one very shy boy who normally hides when there are new people around but he loved her visits, coming up to her for treats! That tells me all I need to know about Melissa and the love she gave them while we were gone. Thank you so much Melissa! ❤️

Nikki took care of my dog for two days, and this whole experience has been excellent. She is caring and gentle to my animals, and also watched over my cats even though that wasn’t included in her duties. Thank you very much for that! I think Nikki genuinely cares about animals, and I would highly recommend her services. She has walked my dog, fed my dog, and played with him during the visits. I received photos from her while I was away from my home, and I feel very safe to have let her take care of my dog. Also, Nikki was very friendly and professional. I definitely would hire her to take care of my dog again next time I have to be away from home.

Jenna is the best sitter I have ever had! She is so accommodating and insanely flexible! When we got our new puppy Jenna made time to come over and meet him before me booking an appointment with her. This puppy was very unsocialized but took to her instantly. I was using her on a regular basis but my schedule changed. Now it’s just random times and she is always available! 10/10 I would and have recommended her to multiple people!

Charlene was wonderful! Today was her first time taking care of our Jack, including walks and feeding him dinner. She was punctual, followed the instructions we left, played with him, and provided us with updates every step of the way! Charlene- you are a natural. Thank you for easing our worries while we were away today and keeping our boy happy. <3

Tirzah was absolutely fantastic with Chorizo! From the initial meet and greet all the way through the scheduled drop-in, their communication was excellent — always prompt, clear, and reassuring. I could tell Chorizo was in great hands. I appreciated the update and photos, and it was obvious they genuinely cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!
