“Julia was wonderful with our pup Koda! She gave him lots of love and attention during her visit, and even managed to coax our cat out to say hello, which never happens with friends she is familiar with, let alone new ones! We felt very comfortable knowing she was taking care of our furry family members, and we couldn’t be happier with her visit. Highly recommend!”


“Katie was a wonderful sitter for our two cats. She was very responsive and always gave us updates on how they were doing. Our cats loved her! Would definitely book Katie again the next time we’re away.”


“Jasmine was excellent with both of my dogs, they really loved her. She was patient and followed instructions very well. I will absolutely be hiring Jasmine again in the future.”


“Elena did an amazing job doing drop in visits with my cat while I was away. She sent lots of pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was healthy and happy.”


“Patricia has been wonderful to have walking the dogs. She has responded quickly to my requests and makes sure to understand what my girls need from her visits. Patricia has gone above and beyond on their walks, sends me lots of photos, and even refreshes their water bowl once they are back home. I know that my girls are well cared for and safe when they are with Patricia and I will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Megan was an awesome cat sitter! She was reliable and attentive. She communicated well and her updates were very thorough. Most importantly, our cat loved her. I would recommend her services and would definitely work with her again in the future.”


“Rachel watched our two dogs for a weekend while we were away. She did drop in visits multiple times a day. Her visits were detailed with pictures and updates. She took them for walks and handled our reactive dog very well. They looked like they had a great time hanging with her and loved the attention she gave. Our dogs are pretty low maintenance (youthful enough). We had no issues, will probably book again sometime, and would recommend to others.”


“Incredibly attentive during his walkthrough and helpful during his visits, very thorough with communication and updates, and an all-around swell guy. Will be our go-to cat sitter when we go on vacation!”


“Kelsie does an amazing job with our two pups! My husband and I work third shift and she is beyond accommodating when it comes to drop in visits at odd times. One of our dogs has severe anxiety and was immediately at ease upon meeting Kelsie. Highly recommend ☺️”


About: I have had dogs in my family for well over 20 years. We have recently lost both our fur babies and would love to help you with your dog boarding. It's been quiet in our home and as much as we would love a new fur baby or two we are currently looking to move and I told myself no more pets until after we move! So why not help others out where we can.. I am currently unemployed and I am home Mon-Fri and always around on the weekends, my husband works a remotely 2 days a week as well and is home... Extra money right now is what we need... We are open and would love to give your dogs the extra attention while you can't be with them. I personally hate having to board ours but sometimes it has to be done. Board with us and know your best friend and family member will get that extra attention that they may not at a kennel. I am currently unemployed and working on gaining my Cottage License to be an in home baker... So I thought why not reactive our account and see what could be. I could really use some puppy love after the loss of our two over the last two years. Dogs will either be walked or can be on a lead for more area with someone outside with them. Dogs will receive a lot of attention from all of us.

About: I have had dogs all my life, I am very well-versed in dog walking, feeding, and playing, and I have taken part in training all my family dogs. I have dog sat since I was a teen for a neighborhood Dalmatian growing up. I am loving and caring for dogs and cats. I have a 1-year-old wolfhound mutt who loves other dogs and people and loves play dates. I work in west Hartford so I can dog walk in that area T-F 3:45-4:45 Vernon areas T-F 4:45-7:45 pm Saturday and Sundays time are flexible I work full-time as a preschool teacher at the American School for the Deaf and am currently in my last year of grad school for my Special Education Master's. I live in Vernon with my fiancée and our son and dog. we are well versed in extra curricular for our son, taekwondo and swimming lessons but always have time to take our pup for a walk or to the dog park for some fetch. I am comfortable letting your dog in and out of the crate, taking them on walks, and taking them for a playdate with my dog if they are dog-friendly. there is a fenced in dog park in Vernon we can play at as well

“Karinna, you were the best sitter I have ever had. Simba had so much fun with you I guess. Pics you clicked of him being happy made me happy 😃 you cleaned the whole space and kept neat and tidy.”


“Rebecca was absolutely incredible with our pup! She took excellent care of him and went the extra mile each visit to mix up his activities between walks and playing ball outside! Rebecca was timely, sent plenty of updates and truly cared about our pup! I highly recommend Rebecca for any of your pet needs!”


“Megan watched our two kitties for the week while we were on vacation and we would definitely book with her again in the future! She was very communicative, punctual, and took great care of both our cats and the house while we were away. We did not have much cell service on vacation, but consistently received updates with notes from Megan and photos every day which was great.”


“Maryssa was just the sweetest, most caring, and dedicated sitter I have had on here. She left so many pics and detailed notes, giving me a peace of mind knowing my dogs were very well taken care of. Thank you so much for caring for my babies. Will definitely be booking you every time!”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and began taking on more responsibilities/dog-sitting around the age of 10. I have experience with a whole spectrum of puppers: youngins, adults, and sugar-faced sweeties! First thing in the morning: dogs. First thing when I get home: dogs. Last thing at night: dogs. Walking, playing in the yard, and maintaining at home grooming are must-dos! Attentive and vigilant: making sure dogs stay out of trouble by keeping a watchful eye while also showing the love through cuddles, pats, or even just being company.
