“Julia has watched my 11 week old puppy a couple times now and I have nothing but good things to say about her. She is very kind and knowledgeable. She keeps me updated with pictures and texts the whole time which I really appreciate. I always feel comfortable having her in my apartment to look after my little baby. I highly recommend her!!”


“Finn was well cared for and very happy to have spent the day with Lucy. We will be scheduling more time with Lucy and would confidently recommend her to others.”


“Jillian took amazing care of our crew while we were away. She sent lots of updates and pictures and it was obvious that the animals loved her. Everyone was content and happy when we got home. We’ll happily have her back.”


“We went for a two night getaway and left our two Pitbulls and our Britney with Jade. She communicated with texts and pics while we were away which made me feel so much better about leaving our fur babies. When we arrived home the house was spotless and the dogs appeared happy and content as if we had never left. I am so hoping she is available EVERY time we go away this summer !”

About: I have been lucky enough to grow up with dogs my entire life, and have regularly dog-sat for puppies, seniors, and anything in between! This includes ensuring that puppies recieve their de-worming medication and that seniors receive their medicine on-time and feel comfortable under my care. I am also experienced in making sure that dogs who do not get along yet stay in the same household remain separate from eachother, so long as the hous can accommodate such a need! If your dog needs food, walks, or just a friend to keep company while you are away, let me know! I am currently working per diem in the Farmington Public School district and so have a flexible, but open, schedule. Come the summer months and school breaks, I am readily available! I have spent the last two years nursing, among others, a senior cat who needs medicine and as much food as he asks for. It is a pleasure to connect with him and give him the love he deserves in his remaining time. I am unable to host animals at my residence, as I have an older cat who becomes inconsolable when another pet is brought into the home, and do not wish to stress her unnecessarily. I regularly play with, walk, and feed the dogs that are in my life, and adjust the length of walks to the capacity and energy of the dog.

“Hunter was really accommodating when we got sick while trying to schedule our meet & greet for a last minute trip. She did great with the dogs & allowed us a stress free weekend away!”


“Lauren is wonderful! She went above and beyond to care for our dog and cat. Our cat needs twice daily insulin, so we are careful to choose just the right sitter, and we are so glad we found Lauren!”


About: As a dog mom myself, I know how important routine, patience, and love are to a happy pup. I’ve personally trained my own dog and have years of experience dog sitting for all kinds of breeds and temperaments. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just someone calm and kind to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule—I work from home and have a flexible routine, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s midday walks, feeding, or just keeping your pets company, I’m able to adjust my workday to meet their needs and keep them happy and comfortable. In my client’s home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, medications, or preferred playtime rituals. I also keep things tidy and make sure your pet feels calm, safe, and loved while you’re away

“I liked how she Provided daily status’ with pictures”


About: When I was younger, I would walk home from school and take care of many dogs all around my neighborhood. Whether it was taking them on walks, feeding them, letting them out to play, or simply just spending some quality time with them, it was always the highlight of my day! I am always eager to meet a new furry friend! I am a recent graduate of the University of Hartford, and am looking to move to New York City in the fall to pursue an acting career. I’m taking some time off at home right now and would love to take care of your furry friend! I can accommodate to any special need you require for your pet. As a dog owner, I understand the personalized care each home provides for their dog or cat. It is vital to me that your pet is as comfortable with me as they are with their owner!

“Paige was great ! She arrived on time and sent me pictures which I appreciated ! My house was as I left it when I arrived home ! I would highly recommend Paige and will be using her again!”


“Gina was very kind and watched our 2 mini aussies and house sat while we were on vacation. She left the house clean and exactly how we left it. Was a very respectful house guest. We will definitely book her again.”


“Delaney took great care of my girl! She sent lots of pictures so I could see how my girl was doing, and she was very happy. Then when I got home, my house was clean. I will definitely hire Delaney again.”


About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have been pet sitting on the side for over 2 and a half years now! I mostly do overnights, making sure dogs are well taken care of and attended to. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I will be available almost every day, at any given time! Whether that’s a drop in visit or an overnight stay! I try to spend as much time as much time as I have with your dog to make sure they have been let out to go to the bathroom and exercise if needed!

About: I’ve been helping take care of my two dogs for the for the past 6 years now. I have also, this past year, been helping friends and family take care of their dogs when they are not around by feeding, walking, and showing lots of love to them! I am currently working a part-time job so I have some extra time on my hands that I would love to spend helping out with some dogs! I have 2 dogs at home that are a handful so I unfortunately cannot care for dogs in my home but in my clients home I do as told and respect their home and clean up after any messes made while I am helping out.

“My dogs loved Thomas & he was able to meet my changing schedule at the last minute. Thank you!”


“Grace was very good at caring for our dog while we were away for a long weekend. She communicated often and was attentive to his needs.”


“Julie was very professional and communicative. She left our home in great condition and went above and beyond to look after our 3 pets. Thanks again, Julie!”


About: Hi, I’m Ally and I’m a lifelong animal lover! 🐾 Pet Care: I have helped friends and family with house and pet sitting for years. I’ve had cats with many different personalities since I was a little girl, and cared for our family dogs daily my entire adult life. I have experience caring for not only cats and dogs, but birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, hermit crabs, betta fish, and bearded dragons. My three kids grew up learning pet responsibility from the daily task of caring for our beloved Pitt bull, Reggie, who lived until he was 14 1/2 years old.🪽 I believe having a pet makes you live longer and have a more fulfilling life! 🫶🏼 I promise to care for your pets like my own. Gardening: Going away and need someone to water your plants? Your yard and plant babies are safe with me! I have been gardening ever since the 4-H program back when I was a kid, so I have a green thumb for vegetable, flower, and herb gardens, window boxes, and, of course, your beloved indoor plants.🪴 Whether it’s your leafy friends or your furry ones, you can relax knowing they are all in loving hands! I am lucky to be home with my kids most days of the week. I work remotely and out of the home part-time so I have pretty open availability to establish a weekly walking or pet care routine with a family or person in need. My schedule is pretty flexible to accommodate your pet and plant needs this summer! 🌞 Ideally, I’d love to find a family, person, or couple that needs weekly help at the same or similar times for a more or less consistent weekly routine, but I’m game for drop-ins and overnight stays too! Allow me to give you peace of mind when you’re away! I’ll take care of things like cleaning and replenishing food and water bowls, taking walks or hikes, and of course giving treats, brushes, or scratches, as needed. I can also take care of tasks like cleaning litter-boxes, pee pads, or possible accidents, as well as perform tick checks and removal!
