“Alan & Luis are always great with Tyson. They welcome him into their home like he was part of their family. They are flexible and I always feel confident Tyson is getting the best care when we are away.”

“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

“Maria took great care of my two dogs. She sent lots of pictures and was very responsive by text. She has a large fenced in yard for the dogs to play and get plenty of fresh air. My dogs were well taken care of while I went to visit family for a week. I hope to book her in the future.”

About: Kara proudly calls Connecticut home, and has had the opportunity to teach and assist with classes at various dog training facilities in state and in Massachusetts. She enjoys teaching family dog obedience, barn hunt, weight pull, nosework, and tricks as well as modifying fearful, reactive, and aggressive behaviors in dogs. Kara is a judge for United States Canine Scent Sports (USCC) and Happy Ratters, and is also an AKC Canine Good Citizen and Trick Dog evaluator. Finally, she also serves as a puppy raiser for various service dog organizations and works closely with several rescues in state. Kara has always been a natural teacher. She has a sincere passion and enthusiasm for learning and educating people. Kara holds a master’s degree Medieval Studies with a focus on British and French literature, and is a former college professor. However, she credits her true calling to become a dog trainer to her dad, who seemed to possess the ability to charm ant dog he met, as well as her previous dog, Angelus, a rescued Rottweiler x German Shepherd x Husky mix. It was Angelus’s struggle with separation anxiety that sparked Kara’s interest in animal training and behavior. Kara loves to learn and has benefited from shadowing and being mentored by various dog trainers throughout her career, learning about everything from obedience and sports to pets and behavior modification to service dogs and personal protection/bite work. She regularly attends conferences, seminars, workshops, and webinars to enhance her knowledge and stay up to date with the latest training techniques. Furthermore, she holds a nationally recognized dog training certificate (knowledge assessed) through The Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. Currently, and is pursuing a certification in canine behavior. She also has extensive experience raising and training puppies as well as caring for senior dogs. She holds a certificate in CPR and Canine First Aid through The American Red Cross and is comfortable administering medication. Kara’s other interests include all forms of canine medicine (including natural, alternative, and holistic approaches), nutrition, canine fitness and conditioning, and biological fulfillment. Working from home has allowed me to be flexible with my time and also focus on the animals in my care. There is plenty of time for one on one attention, snuggles, walks, enrichment opportunities, and exercise. I believe in being proactive and not reactive. I believe in thinking about something, having a plan for what could go wrong, and what can go right, and then executing that plan. Trying to foresee all potential outcomes and plan accordingly keeps everyone safe. At my house, there is a fenced in backyard, with dual gated entrances to make accidental escapes virtually impossible. Inside my house, I live in a gated community. Gates and crates are utilized as necessary in order to keep everyone safe. There are multiple entrances to help maintain an organized flow of traffic. I like to do meet and greets for new clients in order to make sure everything is a good fit and I can answer any questions you may have.

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.

“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”

“We feel so lucky to have found Katie! She watched Mac for 3 nights and was incredibly flexible and communicative. She was accommodating of our rather last minute request and returned Mac happy and exhausted. Her house is clean and so well-equipped for a big mischievous puppy like Mac. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Haoran was absolutely amazing! She took care of my pup for five days and was incredibly attentive and patient the whole time. I really appreciated how she took the time to observe and learn about my dog’s personality to help her feel more comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and my very active dog got tons of exercise — she even went on a two-hour hike that she absolutely loved! When my pup ran out of food, Haoran kindly provided her own without hesitation. My dog can be pretty anxious, but Haoran and her husband showed such patience and genuine care. I’m so grateful for her passion for animals and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Nazim is super easy to work with, and my dogs clearly love him. In general, I don’t like leaving the dogs alone, but I feel great about leaving them with him. Nazim understands and likes dogs. Ten out of ten, would book again.”

“Amber was very well taken care of. She had all the physical exertion a retriever needs, in a large fenced backyard, and in the great company of two younger and friendly dogs owned by Erica.”
“Mayra was wonderful! She treated my girl like she was hers. My Clover is very shy and doesn’t usually cozy up to people right away. But she did with Mayra and her family; she felt right at home. Mayra communicated the whole time with updates and pictures of how Clover was doing.”

“Our 14 yo dog Marley had a good stay with Kaylyn. Marley has some weird old dog behavior which Kaylyn was able to manage and accommodate. He came home healthy, happy and safe. Thank you”

“Triba was wonderful and so professional to work with! We really appreciate how she handled our dog with separation anxiety - she made him (and us) feel comfortable with a day-long boarding.”

“Ifan was a fantastic dog sitter! He was very responsive and took great care of Roro. Roro had a wonderful time with him. I booked at the last minute, and Ifan responded immediately, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Ifan to others and will happily book with him again!”


“I couldn’t be happier with Nancy and Steve as dog hosters. Pepto had so much fun with them my husband and I joked we thought she’d refuse to come home with us when we went to pick her up. Nancy sent adorable photos and info about Pepto throughout the stay. We will definitely rebook in the future with this lovely couple.”
“Andrea was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure our pup, Scooby, felt comfortable and happy during his stay. We loved receiving the regular updates with pictures and videos, it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. To top it off, she even gifted Scooby the cutest goodie bag when we picked him up! I highly recommend Andrea and will definitely trust her to watch Scooby again in the future.”

“Jessica & Christopher did a fantastic job looking after my 2 cats! They are both super communicative, friendly, and always respond quickly to messages. I booked kind of last minute and they accepted and even started the evening they returned from vacation! They followed all my instructions and the cats were very happy when I got home 😊 I was worried my older cat would have an accident on the basement floor, but Jessica & Christopher kept the litter clean to his liking and there were no accidents!! I’m so happy about that! I will definitely book with Jessica & Christopher next time I go away. They did a really great job 🩷 Thank you!!!!”

“Tyler to the rescue! We had a tried and true pet sitter for our cats since 2011 and finding someone reliable , consistent and trustworthy wasn't easy. We so appreciated his two visits a day for our very active and social/loving cats. They love to play and Tyler sent us pictures of our wild boys putting our minds at ease while we were away for 9 days. It's never easy leaving your beloved pets behind and our minds were always at ease knowing they were well loved and taken care of while we were away. Thank you Tyler!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! I've grown up with German Shepherds and have a strong bond with them. My animals are my everything, they are my children. I love training dogs to see their confidence build, and to make our relationship stronger as well. My pup is beyond spoiled and gets to go everywhere with me! I would love to be able to spend time with your fur babies and taking them for a fun time! I am currently only working a few days and have a very flexible schedule. Unfortunately I am not always available on Saturday's or Sunday's, but be sure to check in with me and we might be able to arrange something! I have a large partially fenced in yard, and dog crates if need be. The dog park is only a few miles from my house, and the bike path is right down the street! I try not to visit the dog parks as much as regular parks and hiking trails. My dog and I like to find rivers to play in and keep cool during the sumner. My 4 year old husky shepherd is more than ready to have a playdate! He has 3 big toy bins overflowing to share! Not to mention my extremely friendly cat that will be sure to make friends and play along with any dog or cat she meets!

“Meghan was perfect! I needed her last minute, and she made me feel better instantly. She dropped in on my cat while I was gone for almost a week and they were cuddle friends by the middle of the trip. The updates I got throughout the week were thorough, and included lots of pictures, so we will definitely be booking her again. Thanks Meghan!”

We had a great experience with her and very thankful of her watching Rocky.”

We trust her completely. She will even bring her own toys to help exercise our very active beagle. She sends adorable pictures and notes with each visit.

“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”

About: Kara proudly calls Connecticut home, and has had the opportunity to teach and assist with classes at various dog training facilities in state and in Massachusetts. She enjoys teaching family dog obedience, barn hunt, weight pull, nosework, and tricks as well as modifying fearful, reactive, and aggressive behaviors in dogs. Kara is a judge for United States Canine Scent Sports (USCC) and Happy Ratters, and is also an AKC Canine Good Citizen and Trick Dog evaluator. Finally, she also serves as a puppy raiser for various service dog organizations and works closely with several rescues in state. Kara has always been a natural teacher. She has a sincere passion and enthusiasm for learning and educating people. Kara holds a master’s degree Medieval Studies with a focus on British and French literature, and is a former college professor. However, she credits her true calling to become a dog trainer to her dad, who seemed to possess the ability to charm ant dog he met, as well as her previous dog, Angelus, a rescued Rottweiler x German Shepherd x Husky mix. It was Angelus’s struggle with separation anxiety that sparked Kara’s interest in animal training and behavior. Kara loves to learn and has benefited from shadowing and being mentored by various dog trainers throughout her career, learning about everything from obedience and sports to pets and behavior modification to service dogs and personal protection/bite work. She regularly attends conferences, seminars, workshops, and webinars to enhance her knowledge and stay up to date with the latest training techniques. Furthermore, she holds a nationally recognized dog training certificate (knowledge assessed) through The Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. Currently, and is pursuing a certification in canine behavior. She also has extensive experience raising and training puppies as well as caring for senior dogs. She holds a certificate in CPR and Canine First Aid through The American Red Cross and is comfortable administering medication. Kara’s other interests include all forms of canine medicine (including natural, alternative, and holistic approaches), nutrition, canine fitness and conditioning, and biological fulfillment. Working from home has allowed me to be flexible with my time and also focus on the animals in my care. There is plenty of time for one on one attention, snuggles, walks, enrichment opportunities, and exercise. I believe in being proactive and not reactive. I believe in thinking about something, having a plan for what could go wrong, and what can go right, and then executing that plan. Trying to foresee all potential outcomes and plan accordingly keeps everyone safe. At my house, there is a fenced in backyard, with dual gated entrances to make accidental escapes virtually impossible. Inside my house, I live in a gated community. Gates and crates are utilized as necessary in order to keep everyone safe. There are multiple entrances to help maintain an organized flow of traffic. I like to do meet and greets for new clients in order to make sure everything is a good fit and I can answer any questions you may have.

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.

“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”

“We feel so lucky to have found Katie! She watched Mac for 3 nights and was incredibly flexible and communicative. She was accommodating of our rather last minute request and returned Mac happy and exhausted. Her house is clean and so well-equipped for a big mischievous puppy like Mac. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Haoran was absolutely amazing! She took care of my pup for five days and was incredibly attentive and patient the whole time. I really appreciated how she took the time to observe and learn about my dog’s personality to help her feel more comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and my very active dog got tons of exercise — she even went on a two-hour hike that she absolutely loved! When my pup ran out of food, Haoran kindly provided her own without hesitation. My dog can be pretty anxious, but Haoran and her husband showed such patience and genuine care. I’m so grateful for her passion for animals and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Nazim is super easy to work with, and my dogs clearly love him. In general, I don’t like leaving the dogs alone, but I feel great about leaving them with him. Nazim understands and likes dogs. Ten out of ten, would book again.”

“Amber was very well taken care of. She had all the physical exertion a retriever needs, in a large fenced backyard, and in the great company of two younger and friendly dogs owned by Erica.”
“Mayra was wonderful! She treated my girl like she was hers. My Clover is very shy and doesn’t usually cozy up to people right away. But she did with Mayra and her family; she felt right at home. Mayra communicated the whole time with updates and pictures of how Clover was doing.”

“Our 14 yo dog Marley had a good stay with Kaylyn. Marley has some weird old dog behavior which Kaylyn was able to manage and accommodate. He came home healthy, happy and safe. Thank you”

“Ifan was a fantastic dog sitter! He was very responsive and took great care of Roro. Roro had a wonderful time with him. I booked at the last minute, and Ifan responded immediately, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Ifan to others and will happily book with him again!”

“I would highly recommend Allison to take care of your dogs! She is so caring and definitely communicates with you to let you know what's going on! Her dog, Mollie is so sweet too! She has 2 fenced in areas- a front yard and back yard with a pool! There is definitely plenty of places for your dogs to roam and play outside. She also has a nice area inside for them to play and where she gives tons of cuddles! She honors whatever your routine is, as I wanted my dog to sleep in her soft crate and be fed twice a day with pottie breaks every 4hrs. She is very reliable, dependable, efficient and a total sweetheart! She knows how to slowly introduce dogs and makes sure everyone is safe and comfortable besides having fun! I was so calm knowing that my Lola was in good hands and given so much attention by her, her family, and the other dogs! A definite 5 star rating in my book!”

“Jan and Russ were AMAZING with my pup! They made sure to keep me updated while I was away on an extended weekend and it’s the first time I left Bowden for such a long amount of time. They really made me feel comfortable about my decision to board him for my trip! I will absolutely be using them in the future! Thank you both so much!!!”

“Liz did an amazing job handling separation anxiety with our Brady for a first time sleepover. Thank you Liz for also easing our anxiety too! 😊 and sending pictures ❤️”

“Karina and her husband Jared are fantastic! This was our second time having them watch our dog, Nova, while we were away on vacation. Nova ends up getting her own vacation when staying at Karina & Jared's house! They always take such good care of Nova and Karina always gives us updates on Nova twice a day! We are so grateful that we found such amazing people to care for our pup when we are away! We (especially Nova) look forward to seeing Karina and Jared again soon! Thank you both so much for always being there and taking such amazing care of our Nova!! 10/10 recommendation!”
