Pet Sitting in Tariffville

About: I’ve spent my entire life around dogs and bring over seven years of professional experience as a police K-9 handler. Through that role, I developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, training, safety, and care under all conditions. I’ve owned and cared for a wide variety of dogs throughout my life—from high-energy working breeds to family companions—and treat every dog in my care with patience, structure, and respect. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are always my top priorities. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m recently retired, which gives me a highly flexible schedule and allows me to prioritize consistent, attentive care throughout the day. With plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, and check-ins, I’m able to adjust to each pet’s needs and provide reliable companionship and supervision. Whether it’s regular visits or extra attention during the day, I’m always available to help care for your furry family member. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. With experience caring for many different types of dogs—varying in size, age, temperament, and energy level—I’m attentive to individual needs and potential risks at all times. I take a proactive, structured approach to supervision, ensuring safe walks, secure environments, and calm, positive interactions so your dog feels comfortable, protected, and well cared for.

About: I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I focus on patience, consistency, and reinforcing the training and routines you’re already working on. With seniors, I provide gentle, attentive care and make sure they stay comfortable and stress-free. I truly care about your pet’s well-being and happiness. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home and am home most of the day. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, meals on schedule, and companionship throughout the day rather than long stretches alone. I tailor my care based on the service and your pet’s needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on consistency, comfort, and safety. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide plenty of attention and companionship, reinforce training for puppies, and offer patient, gentle care for senior pets. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

“Jessica looked in on my dog Mona and walked her a few times a day while I was gone for a few days. Everything from the initial meeting, to taking care of my dog and sending updates and pictures, was handled easily and professionally. I would highly recommend Jessica, and would hire her again the next time Mona needs care!”

About: My career training makes me hyper aware of my clients needs whether they be human or animal. I can meet them where they are physically and mentally and cater to their needs. My work is flexible so my schedule can fit your pet's routine. I typically do my workout in the early morning which leaves the remainder of the dedicated to your pet's priorities. When I'm with your pet/s they are my priority whether it's feeding, walking, playing or just cuddling. I love animals but can't have them because of my husband's health issues. Yours is the best I can do.

About: Newly moved to Simsbury! I grew up working closely with a rescue in the Carolinas, so I've spent pretty much my whole life caring for pups of all kinds! From the energetic puppies who trip over their own ears (and may not be totally potty trained yet) to the sassy seniors who just want to chill and may need a little extra TLC, I believe all of our furry friends deserve the same level of love and care. I know we all wish we could just stay home with them every day, but for those who can't I'm here to help! I'll take care of any ear scritches, walkies and treatos your pup needs to be happy and healthy when you get back! I work weekends, which leaves me free to care for your furry friends while you do your obligatory "9-5" during the school day. Just don't tell my dogs I'm petting your dogs! Whether we are hanging out in your back yard or walking to a local park, I'll make sure your pup gets all of the attention and care needed.

“Karen came at the last minute to help me out at a last-minute emergency. She was prompt and very friendly/helpful. I will definitely use her again!”

“Liz is absolutely FANTASTIC!! She is so great with our dog, and really cares about all animals as if they were her own! She’s the best, and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!”

About: I took a break from 2021 to present and am looking forward to resume. I have cared for dogs for my family and friends previously with great joy! They love me as much! Reliable, caring, and I like to walk. I’m retiring 1/2/20 and am looking forward to meeting and loving your dogs! I do have a small dog myself who loves to walk also. I am available to watch your animals on a flexible schedule. I live on a walking trail, close to a couple of dog parks and McLeans. A big backyard set back from the road. We enjoy being outdoors.

About: I am a professional psychotherapist who works for myself. Caring for animals and others’ homes provides me a sense of connection to my community and is a way to help others—I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family at home and it’s something I know I do well. I have two pets myself—a caring and sensitive Australian Shepherd named John Prine Jr (who is training to be a therapy dog!) and a sassy and silly tortoise cat named Bonnie Raitt. I kept rabbits for 15 years and had and loved other dogs and cats that are no longer with us. I’m a responsible, experienced house sitter with plenty of experience caring for humans and animals. I’m communicative, caring, and work to be attuned to your home and pet care needs; I am comfortable with any number of tasks that pet-owning and pet-sitting involves. Specialities include rabbits (including medicine administration), as well as caring for elder and aging pets. I work for myself and remotely—I make sure my day has the needed flexibility to meet your pets’ needs. I have scheduled my own work schedule to meet the needs of my own furry family. I have excellent references and folks I’ve known for years whose pets and homes I’ve cared for. I follow directions well, ask clarifying questions if I need help, and am happy to assist if I can.

About: I have been a pet parent my whole life. I love all animals and will love your's too! Trusted by family, friends, neighbors and animals.

I have my own transportation and will provide peace of mind that your furry family members are well cared for. Background checked and references. My pets are spoiled rotten and are valuable family members. All are well taken care of and provided with plenty of love, snuggles and kisses. I will care for your pet as if it were my own.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for pets has always felt second nature to me. I also worked for a trusted dog-sitting business in my hometown, where I learned the importance of reliable care, clear communication, and treating every pet as an individual. I take the time to understand each animal’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or calm companionship, I adapt to what your pet needs most. Your pet will be cared for like family, and you’ll always have peace of mind knowing they’re in attentive, experienced hands.

On my farm, pets have space to play, explore, and get plenty of exercise in a safe, supervised environment. At a client’s home, I make sure their routine is maintained exactly as they like—meals on time, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. In both settings, my focus is always on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience, giving pets attention, companionship, and consistency so they feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I have owned my own dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I don’t have any professional pet care experience but I am very compassionate and love spending time with dogs! I am an avid hiker and outdoor lover so dog walking is a perfect opportunity for me. I work full time from Tuesday to Sunday so the Monday and Sunday are best for me. Anytime of day will work! Early morning during the week may also work. I will find safe areas to walk your dog and always clean up after them. I will also bring water and a portable bowl for them to drink from.

“Alexis is absolutely incredible. I had a last minute trip come up and in a day she had a meet and greet with my pup and made me feel so comfortable knowing she was going to be well cared for! I received regular updates and pictures while I was away knowing she was in great care with Alexis! 11/10!!!!”
