House Sitting in Torrington

“Above and beyond our expectations. Kristina had great communication, was extremely accommodating, and was really accepting and happy to deal with all of our dogs' quirks. We can't wait to have Kristina look after our dogs again!”

“I’ve lived with Alex for the last 10 years, and I’ve lost count of how many times he’s come to the rescue of an animal in need. If there’s a dog lost in the neighborhood, Alex will abandon his plans to turn his attention on getting them safely home. He’s brought lost cats and dogs home, fed and nurtured them, and spent all night posting online and making phone calls to try and find their owners (which he’s successfully done 100% of the time). I’ve watched him hand feed wild squirrels, and catch a bird who accidentally flew indoors with his bare hands to help it safely return outside. He’s a true animal whisperer, and is immediately trusted and magnetic to any animal that crosses his path. He has a heart of gold and is the most loyal and trustworthy person I’ve ever known. We shared a rescue dog for years who had severe behavioral issues and aggression when he came into our lives, and Alex devoted all his time and energy to help rehabilitate our beloved friend. His patience and understanding for all animals is universal, and he loves every animal he meets the same way he cares for his own. You couldn’t find a better person to put your trust into, and I promise you that your pet will fall in love with him. Going above and beyond is just a normal day in the life of Alex, and it’s rare to find someone who cares as much as he does. He won’t just pet-sit for you, he’ll become a part of your pet’s extended family. If you want someone to love on your furry friends as close to as much as you do, Alex is the person for you.”

“I would highly recommend Jolene as your pet sitter. This was our first time using Rover. Having a stranger stay at our house and take care of our dogs made us very nervous , but after meeting with her a few times I felt more at ease with her. She asked all the right questions, she was very professional and my dogs took to her immediately. She did exactly what we needed her to do which included giving one of my dogs medication and a brushing because of a skin issue. She kept in touch with us, sent pictures and she left our house spotless, without a trace that she was there. She even asked where my vacuum cleaner was to make sure all dog hair was cleaned up before we got home. I am very pleased with our experience with her and would use her again. Thanks Jolene!!!”

“Very attentive and comfortable with my dogs. They responded very well to her. Always very prompt with communications. Very pleasant to deal with. Will definitely use her services in the future!”

“Fiona did an amazing job with our Draco for the weekend. She took him on a ton of walks, communicated great with me and left our place clean. It was nice to be at ease on our trip and know she was taking care of our pup so well. I will absloutely book future stays with her.”

“Rachel is a fabulous dog sitter!!! I had no hesitation having Rachel stay in my home with my dog. She arrived on time, took great care of Lily, kept me updated with photos of Lily while I was away overnight. I would recommend Rachel to anyone, Lily and I are looking forward to having her sit again ?”

“Tara sent beautiful photos of my girl, and it is obvious just how happy she is. Tara is knowledgeable about dog care, and identified a potential ear infection right away, and our vet told me she did all the right things and it cleared up the next day. I completely trust her with the care of my dog and my home and will definitely book with Tara again.”

“Rhys goes above and beyond to take care of our diabetic cat, Simba. Simba is 12 years old, largely cranky with strangers, and has a strict schedule due to his insulin requirements. Rhys worked with Simba over time to gain his trust and respect :-), and is now our go-to pet sitter. We are able to vacation in peace, knowing that Rhys is holding down the fort. Rhys is timely, reliable, patient and thoughtful.”

About: Hi, I am 31 and an animal lover. I have a full time job that is a flexible and I love being outside whenever I can be. I have one rescue dog and one rescue cat that get along great and love other animals. This is a side job/passion project for me that I have been doing for years and don’t plan on stopping. My preferred walking areas are the Santa Fe Trail and White Rock Lake trails, I also frequent Oak Cliff Nature Preserve and the Cedar Ridge Preserve. I am open to hearing what you would like and need and would love to find a few families to add to my roster that I can work with regularly. Thank you so much for reading! I am currently working from home with lots of free time on my hands and would love to fill that with walks with my dog and yours. I am located in New Hartford and love walking around my neighborhood, there is also a great hiking trail within a few miles of my house that I frequent.

“Sally was born surrrounded by dogs and cats. It was normal life for her to love them. After we moved to another continent, she misses them extremily. Sometimes she does as foster, but eventually we end every chapter crying. If she cares other dogs (or other pets) she can fullfill that emptiness and can also be used to give them back back in a daily basis without miss them.”

“Robin is the best. She has really bonded with Annie. She’s the only person we trust with her. Annie loves their time together. We have no guilt leaving Annie with Robin taking care of her!”

“Londiwe is and has always had shown love and caring for animals and pets in particular from an early age. She see pets far different from the most people because of her strong feeling .as a kid she used to frequent a pet store in New Jersey called ' Shake a paw' just to be closer to them because she couldn't own one. You would never convince her not to go to that pet store up until when the family adopted cat for a pet . She and the cat could not be separated , .she would make great pet sitter and or good dog walker.”

About: I enjoy the outdoors and taking a walk. Your dog will have lots of play time, as well as fun, treats, food and water. I just like having a dog around to keep each other company so they are not home alone for long time period, you know getting into mischief we can do that together and have more fun haha. I currently do not have any dogs but will get one when the time is right. I have enjoyed and attended dog shows showing for obedience and agility(Dalmatians). I also attended and passed the canine good citizenship test with my first dog. My second dog was adopted and we did agility and was a lot of fun. A dog is a companion in which you meet other dog friendly people. I'm currently working full time but would have time to care for your fur kid/s before and after work, get mail, water plants, check house. I do not have a fenced yard so would take your fur kids out on a leash at your home or if fenced and you chose for them to be loose at your home.

“Josh was amazing taking care of our English bulldogs, they were happy and relaxed when we returned. Additionally, Josh went above and beyond taking care of our house, bringing in packages, mail and dry cleaning and getting the garbage/recycling out on garbage day. Will absolutely use him again, thank you!!”

“As a dog owner herself, Kim knows how to be a loving and responsible pet sitter. I highly recommend her! She is a great person with an awesome personality.”

“Ciara was the greatest. Took good care of our pups with many updates and photos. Caring and responsible. Looking forward to next time. I do think our dogs were missing her upon our return.”

“Marisa is so kind and delightful to have as a sitter. Our dog is very shy around new people and Marisa was so patient with her. She kept us updated while we were away and responded promptly. We will definitely book her again!”

About: Since childhood, friends and neighbors have always relied on me to watch their pets! I grew up with dogs but do not own one now due to housing and have two kitties. I am also experienced with large farm animals and safety when handling and being around them. This translates to dogs as well, for safety we must remember we can never 100% predict an animals behavior. I am working multiple part time jobs and we will discuss your custom scheduling! Mornings afternoons evenings or frequent visits for medical reasons can be managed based on your needs While unable to host pets at my home, I always follow the owners instructions closely and pay attention to detail regarding the animals home turf!! I would never disrespect the animals home and space.

“Jessica did a great job taking care of our animals, some of whom are older and have special needs. I got frequent updates from her and felt great knowing the animals were being cared for while we were away. Highly recommended!”

“Julie is a fabulous pet sitter! Julie has taken care of my sweet Tipsy for years, treating her as her own. Tipsy gets very excited whenever she sees Aunt Julie. You'll be very happy with the attention to detail Julie will provide.”
