We absolutely adore Julie. She took her time and not only had no problem with our cat's semi complicated meal routine, but she sat with our very needy cat and gave her undivided attention while we were away. We will absolutely be contacting Julie anytime we are going to be away and need our pets to be taken care of.

Tarah was sooo amazing with my cat, Mao Mao! My husband and I went away for 2 weeks on our honeymoon, which is the longest we've been away before so I was worried leaving her that long. But Tarah eased every single worry I had! She gave amazing updates and pictures of Mao Mao while we were gone, made sure her litter boxes were clean, her food bowl was filled, and that she got lots of love and pets while we were away! She was so responsive and easy to get ahold of and really went above and beyond for us! I would 100% book with Tarah again for any trip we take in the future!

About: Hi! I’m a pet sitter with 3 years of experience as an emergency vet tech and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve worked in fast-paced ER environments, so I’m calm, confident, and trained in handling pets of all personalities and medical needs. Also, I have a cat of my own who inspires me to give every pet the same love and attention I give at home. With 1 year of pet sitting experience, I provide reliable, compassionate, and knowledgeable care you can trust. I currently work part time so I am very flexible. I am driven to keep your pets comfy and happy. I will work with you on your schedule. I have a backyard and a safe friendly neighborhood to take your animals on walks. I do own a cat, but if needed, I will keep her in my bedroom.

About: I love spending time with all types of dogs- big, small, old, young, lazy, energetic and everything in between. I recently moved back to Connecticut from Colorado and now have a more flexible job that allows me the opportunity to dog sit again. In the past, I’ve cared for dogs for Rover clients as well as friends’ and family members’ pets, and I’m comfortable walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medications as needed. I also love being outdoors and am happy to take your dog on walks or hikes if that’s something you’d like. I have experience training dogs, including my own two, and I understand how important it is to follow your dog’s routine and your expectations. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I am open to working with you to make a schedule that works for both your dog's needs and my work schedule. I work Monday-Friday, with a flexible hour break for going to check on your pet midday if needed. My weekends would be planned to meet the needs of your pet, so you could enjoy your time away with our worry! I’m currently open to caring for pets in both my home and your home. My house is dog-friendly, with an unfenced backyard, and I always prioritize safety and supervision when outside. I do my best to keep each pet comfortable by maintaining their usual routines as closely as possible, while also offering opportunities for enrichment based on their personality and comfort level-whether that’s a walk, hike, visit to a family member’s home, or simply relaxing in a calm environment. I’m very mindful of each pet’s needs and cues, and I’m just as happy giving them space if that’s what helps them feel most at ease. When staying in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of your space and preferences, aiming to keep your pet’s routine consistent while caring for your home with the same level of attention and respect.

Camryn was great. She handled our three dogs very well and kept us very well-informed, and was able to stop in on very short notice. The dogs loved her, and even one of our skittish cats came to say hello. Thanks, Camryn!

About: I've been taking care of animals, including horses, since elementary school. I’ve had 3 cats, 4 horses, and 2 dogs throughout my life. I recently lost my dog to cancer, and I’m sure my kitty misses having his best friend around. So if your dog is cat-friendly, I would love to watch them! I currently work from home. Watching a dog for a day, multiple days or scheduling a break to come walk your dog would not be a problem. I’m located close to downtown Wallingford and there are great places to walk (especially with a dog!). I know how to care for all ages of dogs, including the elderly and I have experience giving medications. Requested information about your pet Please let me know the schedule of your fur baby - what time they get walked, what time they are fed, etc. I would like to have your fur baby keep to their schedule as much as possible. Also let me know any little tricks or specifics for your dogs, how long they like to walk, if they like to go out immediately after eating, etc. Please let me know the demeanor of your dog as well - are they aggressive? Get a long with other dogs/cats? Anything else! I want to make sure they receive the best care! :) Since I work from home, I am able to schedule breaks to take dogs out and go on longer walks (even hikes!). I can board in my house weekdays and weekends. I have a cat who misses his doggy sister, so he does well with dogs, but he rules the roost! I can crate dogs if needed. I also try to keep my house as non-toxic as possible (chemicals, cleaning supplies, etc) for the health of my pets.

Sandra was great!! My boy Logan is super skeptical with new people and it takes a little while for him to warm up, but she took her time with him and made him feel comfortable enough for their walk. I will definitely be reaching out to her in future! ☺️

Mary was amazing with my two goldens. They’re both very energetic and strong pullers on the leash and Mary was able to wrangle them no problem! She came over to meet the pups before hand and was so sweet to my dogs and to us. Send me photos every walk and give a full report back about everything the pups did! We all felt very comfortable with her off the bat as well. I would definitely have Mary back to care for our pups and recommend her to you 10/10!

About: I worked for The FurKid company in New York City. There, I walked dogs, as well as provided overnight care for dogs and cats, which includes administering medication to the animals. I'm a teacher, so I am mostly available outside of the 7:30PM to 3:30PM window. I pour a lot of love into the animals I care for, no matter how much time I have with them! I have no pets of my own, so will be able to put all of my energy into yours! I unfortunately don't have a yard, but there is plenty of green space and a dog park in my apartment complex.

Kenzie is fabulous. Her love and ease with animals was evident at our first meet. Kenzie is flexible and dependable. She went above and beyond to check in on our cat while we were on vacation who wasn’t feeling well. We felt such a sense of relief knowing our animals were in safe hands while we were away. Highly recommend.

Camryn did an amazing job watching my dog, Kardi, over the weekend. She was very thorough, paid close attention to detail, and made sure everything was taken care of exactly how I asked. I was actually able to enjoy my vacation without worrying, which says a lot because I’m usually very anxious leaving my dog. Kardi clearly loved her, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I’m definitely looking forward to booking with her again and would highly recommend her.

Emese has been a terrific friend to our older, shy and deaf cat. He tends to be very cautious around people and generally hides, but he clearly feels safe around Emese. We have appreciated the photos she has sent of our senior cat lounging in his favorite spot and posing for her. Thank you, Emese!
