About: Hello! My name is Amanda. I live in Tolland, CT with my husband and son. I have a lifetime of experience with animals of all kinds. Growing up I always had dogs and/or cats, as well as several other types of pets. I worked in a pet grooming salon for 6 1/2 years, and a doggy daycare for 1 year. I have also done pet walking and sitting for family and friends. I have owned and/or taken care of many different types of pets, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, ferrets, rabbits, birds, hamsters, and mice. We currently have a dog, cat, guinea pig, and turtle! I take care of and love each pet as if they are my own. I am a kind, compassionate, patient person who can't wait to meet your pets! Pet care is my full time job. My schedule is flexible, I can usually always find a time to fit in a furry friend! My husband is a stay at home dad, so I don't have to worry about having to find childcare in order to work. I love, care for, and treat all animals as if they are my own. I would always make sure the pet is safe, loved, and well cared for. I live with my husband and son who are both animal lovers as well.

“Samantha was on time very morning to walk our dogs, was great about staying in touch with updates and photos. She was also super patient with our one pup who has been healing from a wounded shoulder so could/would only walk short distances. She was flexible and adaptable to make sure she still got attention. We were able to relax during vacation knowing Samantha was there every morning for our doggos.”

“Emma was so trustworthy and reliable in walking my dog Zoey twice daily when I was out of town for 10 days. I had left Zoey with my 86 yr old mother who was unable to walk her, so I was thrilled to find someone so capable.”

“Karinna took Toby for an afternoon walk. I know how excited he gets to be outside so I’m so happy Karinna was available. I appreciated the write up and pics of his time. I’d recommend Karinna for walks with your fur babies.”

About: Ever since I can remember I have always watched animals for friends, family members, and neighbors. I have worked as a dog walker for a company where I was responsible for letting myself in and taking their dog for a walk. I also have experience in two different animal shelters. During summer breaks I work as a veterinary assistant so I am very comfortable around animals with medical needs and administering medications. I have also had a bunny for several years and have watched other peoples bunnies so I am very familiar with bunny care. I am currently a full-time student, with a flexible class schedule. Most of my availability will be after class is over usually between 1-3pm depending on the day. Some days I will be done earlier than others. I am free all day on Saturday and Sunday. While I am unable to board your animals due to my living situation I would love to take care of your pets in other ways! My biggest priority when spending time with any animal, whether they are my own or someone else's, is health and safety. When walking dogs outside I am always vigilant regarding our surroundings. Even when in the client's home I am constantly on the look out for anything the dog should could get into trouble with whether that is a toy or food item.

About: I’ve been a nurse for 11 years, I am lucky to be able to make my own schedule for the most part therefore I’m open to doing stuff I love such as this! Animals have always been a big part of my life. **With that being said I also am very comfortable and have experience with administering medications, changing or applying dressings if needed, animals with medical conditions, and animals with disabilities. I am also very much so okay with grumpy cats! I understand the significance of pets as my cats are the world to me. I will treat your animals as my own at all times! I also know how important routines are as I have my own, therefore I will follow any an all instructions to a T. A lot of my time is dedicated to my animals and I make sure they never go without. I take their health important as well! I myself have a lot of anxiety around my pets including them getting out, getting hurt or getting sick. I am overly careful with all animals because of this.

About: I am a huge animal person and have been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a 7 year old (30lb) dog that we rescued as a puppy. She is a sweet girl and is use to having a companion (since we also had a spaniel for 17 years that recently passed away) so she is comfortable with other dogs. We also foster puppies and have experience with many different breeds and personalities! While you're away, working, or just have other plans that can't include your pet, he or she is welcome to stay with us or I can come to you. Either way, I will strive to make your furry family member feel comfortable and cared for. During the day, your pet will get plenty of attention. I currently work from home full time, which allows more flexibility with outside breaks and neighborhood walks. While I work, I will be in the same room as your pet so they will never feel alone. As far as basic care and house rules go, their feeding schedule can be flexible and adjusted to match his/her schedule at home. They are allow to roam the main areas of our home and snuggle up on the couch as they wish!

About: I have experience from dogs & cats to taking care of horses, for over 20 years. Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. I own one dog and I also foster for Rescuer's Without Boarders. I am willing to take dogs from any age to any training level. Animals are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. Your best friend will be treated as part of the family. Dogs are kept on leashes and harnesses (as owner prefers). Dogs are supervised at all times outside and inside. I can crate your dog as needed or preferred. I work from home most of the time, so I can take in pets during the day. I can do house/pet sitting in your home as well. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. We go out for short walks/potty breaks every few hours. Longer or shorter walks can be accommodated per age/breed/energy level of dog.

About: As a furmama of 14 years to my sweet chocolate lab and now caring for my 3 year old German Short-haired Pointer I know how important they are to us. I have trained both of my pups to walk without pulling and at a heel. Would love to meet your furbaby and help get them some exercise while you are busy. I'm available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays anytime. I work full-time so during the week my flexibility is worked around my work schedule which fluctuates. Message me to check availability. I do have a fenced in yard and a 3 year old GSP that loves to play. I have had dogs my whole life and love to play and spend time with them as long as they are friendly.

“Ermelinda is truly amazing. Our skittish dog warmed up to her after the very first walk. The care instructions for our dog, Bella, was a laundry list and Ermelinda followed them to the letter. Your dogs will be in great hands with her. I highly recommend her services!”

About: Dog and cat mom 🐾 I have dog sat and walked for family members, friends, neighbors, and strangers, and I have experience working with both puppies and senior dogs. I also worked with a CT-based company walking dogs off-leash on both private and public hiking trails. Comfortable with pets of all sizes and behaviors I’m currently looking for work so I am available 24/7! I stay at home with my dog and cat most days of the week and can fit pet care anywhere in my schedule. I live in a dog-friendly apartment complex that has a dog park and lots of grass to play on. Your pet will be accompanied by my dog, Rango, and my cat, Tallulah!

About: My veterinary assistant experience with small and large animals sets me apart as I keep a close eye on your animal’s health and well-being. I am not easily spooked, but I want your pet to receive the best care I can give. I am not a trainer, but I am comfortable dealing with some pets with behavioral issues. I want to create the safest and most comfortable environment for your pet, your sanity and myself! I currently work four days a week and have a three day weekend. I am looking to pet sit for people who are going on a short trip or need routine weekend care. I can be flexible with week nights, but it will need to be established well in advance. I am looking to house sit in the owners residence. My cats would not be happy to have any new comers to our family. I am very punctual with breakfast and dinner time, and I am typically one to spend time wherever the pet would like to whether that be indoors or outdoors!

About: I’ve worked with various types of pets, providing reliable care for dogs and cats. I have extensive experience pet-sitting for friends and neighbors, many of whom have repeatedly entrusted me with their beloved companions. My commitment to attentive and compassionate care ensures that pets feel comfortable and well-cared for in their owners’ absence. Pet care is an essential part of my routine. I have everything a pet owner needs—except for a pet of my own. Whenever I have someone else’s pet in my care, I always prioritize their schedule over my own. I care for every pet equally and with diligence. I treat each one as my own and provide everything I can to ensure their happiness.

About: Hello pet parents! I find great fulfillment in caring for and nurturing your pets. Caring for pets also gives me a wonderful outlet to indulge my intense and immense love for dogs! While I might lack decades of experience working with our furry friends, I believe I more than make up for it with my enthusiasm for learning and affection for doggies! All I can promise is that you shall not regret working with me! I work from home remotely for my day job, which affords me plenty of spare time to spend with your fur babies! The nature of my job also enables me to take my furry friends out for a walk during working hours no problem. I am available for walks and drop in visits on all weekdays; for your dog boarding or house sitting needs, I am available seven days a week. I have a family member living with me who is retired and stays home full time, so there will be at least one responsible adult looking after your precious pet(s) at all times!

“Rachael is a great walker! Even when I had a last minute walk, she was available and always with a smile. I hope to be able to hire her again!”

About: I have 4 dogs of my own. I absolutely love every single kind of animal. I am very passionate about animals. I dog sit my best friends dogs & co workers dogs as well as family pets. I work Sunrise hours Tuesday-Friday. I’m off of work by 11am and have the rest of my morning & afternoon to take care of my babies & play with them as well as take care of anyone else pets. All 3 of my dogs are very friendly. I have 1 dog who is a small cranky old lady with no teeth but she’s usually laying in bed relaxing while the other dogs play. My back yard is semi fenced in. The whole back portion is fenced but you are able to go to the front yard from the sides of the house.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I have been pet sitting for a little over five years now! I currently have my own pets: two cats, and a dog. I have a few families whom I sit for regularly. I have had experience caring for puppies-senior dogs with special needs, diapers, and medications, as well as kittens-senior cats! My whole life I have been caring for pets of my own, as well as those of friends and family. My boyfriend has been sitting with me for well over 4 years now and has a lot of experience caring for many different animals. We have helped a few families out with training as well so that they can stay as close to their normal routine as possible! I’m currently working full time at UConn, but my boyfriend is working remotely. This being said he would be able to provide plenty of potty breaks throughout the day. We can both provide walks and plenty of play time morning and night as well! I am very flexible with whatever routine you would like me to follow for your fur babies! Personally, I have an electric fence for my dog at home, but I still go out with her, as she does not like to be alone! Although my cats are indoor cats, they LOVE being outside, so on nice days I will take them out on a leash and sun bathe with them!
