About: As a cat owner myself, I know how much our pets mean to us and how hard it can be to leave them with someone else. I’ll treat your cat with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. Whether they want to play, be brushed, or just have someone quietly keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll also send you plenty of updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away ❤️
About: You know that person who cats gravitate towards, even if they don't usually like people? That’s me. I’ve been a cat (and dog) owner my whole life, and was an approved cat & kitten foster for 10 yrs through the Animal Rescue League of Boston. I've bottle fed newborns, syringe-fed special-needs cats. I'm quick to pick up what kind of interaction and petting each cat likes. I’m an active mom of 5 grown human kids, so patience is my middle name. Professionally, I’m a work-from-home journalist (higher ed, travel) and happy to work from yours if your cat wants more companionship than just a drop-in visit... See photos for a look at the editorial muses who've supervised my laptop.
“Hunter was great with our cat, who is usually very shy around new people. She was reliable and kept us up to date with photos etc. Would definitely recommend Hunter.”
About: I've cared for cats for well over a decade including those of family members, neighbors, friends, and clients I found through word of mouth. I am familiar with cats of varying demeanors -- the cuddly ones, and the more independent ones, as well as administering medicine as needed.
“This is the third time that Jared has taken care of my cat while we were away. Once again, excellent care and service. Reliable and attentive. He did everything I asked. I will be booking Karina and Jared again later this summer!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Simsbury
“Our dog Rocky loves to go to Maria’s house. Everyday Rocky runs up the steps and can’t wait to go inside. He has a great time playing with other dogs. Maria is flexible and accommodating. There were nights that we couldn’t pick up Rocky until late and she was always accommodating and flexible. I can tell that she really love dogs! We had a great experience with her and very thankful of her watching Rocky.”
“This was the first time that I used Eric. Eric and his wife were wonderful with Milo. Eric let me know that Milo was doing well and also sent a picture. Milo came home happy and tired. I will definitely use Eric again.”
“My mini golden doodle, Maple, had a wonderful time at Angela’s for daycare! She updated us throughout the day with pictures. Maple has social anxiety but she warmed up to Angela’s home and loved running around her big backyard with other dogs. I will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Left my baby for a trial stay. While it was hard to leave him literally crying Katie was so great about assuring me things had calmed down a few minutes later and all was good. I appreciated that peace of mind. Katie was also great about super responsive and timely communication. We would definitely reach out again.”
“Nazim is fantastic! He is professional, communicative, and calm. My dog Duke liked Nazim and the other dogs right away. The big fenced back yard and dog-friendly home made for a perfect doggie daycare experience. I appreciated receiving photos throughout the day, and a happy dog at pickup time. Highly recommend!”

She has a lot of care and compassion for animals and its clearly evident by how she interacts with them. Our pup was happy as could be when I picked him up. I would highly recommend Karina!”
“Klaudia and her crew welcomed our anxious pup for daycare and he came home happy and actually seems to a bit less reactive to other dogs after a day with Winston and Bruno! Klaudia checked in several times and sent photos, which we loved, showing Loofy getting lost of attention. We're looking forward to doing an overnight in the near future.”
“Wonderful experience! Anagha was very communicative before and during Lucy's visit. She sent messages and pictures throughout the day which gave me such peace with leaving our pup with someone new. Hoping that we'll get a chance to use Anagha again in the future!”

“Could Paula get any better? It’s impossible. In two visits she has our crazy puppy minding on leash and exhausted for the remainder of the day. Paula even helped source some strategic training in our immediate area. We are feeling blessed to know Paula and appreciate her patience and loving persistence with sweet, crazy Sophie!”
“Tara is wonderful. I recently needed someone to help walk my anxious and excitable rescue dog ( a 6-year-old Labrador-Golden Retriever mix). She bonded with my pet right away and was masterful and patient in keeping her calm and controlled. It was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving my dog with a stranger. Tara made me feel comfortable leaving my dog and she sent me multiple photos and updates of her visit. I look forward to working with her in the future.”
