Top rated Waterbury house sitters
About: I have dog-sat for multiple breeds of dogs over the past few years, including short stop ins for potty breaks and extended house stays. I love walking and playing with dogs, and have experience in administering medications. I work full-time from 7-5 on weekdays with Wednesdays off. I can care for pets mornings and evenings, as well as weekends, and depending on location can provide drop ins. I always discuss with clients how best to care for pets in their homes, including preferred walking routes, whether runs or fenced areas are available in yards, and what additional care each pet needs to be comfortable and happy.
“Once again, Georgia provided superlative care for my cat. She also sent me some great pictures of the two of them. It was pretty obvious that my cat was having a grand old time. Georgia is very good with communication and always asks questions if I’m not clear. I hope to see her again.”
“Best dog sitter ever! Stephanie took great care of my dog and made her feel like she was on her own little vacation. She sent daily photos and updates and made me feel at ease while I was away!”
“We left our menagerie of animals in the care of Stoph for a week and in that time, all creatures great and small, came to love her as their own. Our dogs and cat, although shy, found comfort, food, and water, and frequent walks. The barnyard animals looked as healthy as they ever could. Everyone was well fed and watered. The house looked amazing for she kept it tidy and orderly. Stoph will be our go-to house sitter from now on anytime we’re gone and she is available.”
“Holly is a fantastic pet sitter! She was extremely thorough when she met us and our dog Wolfie. She asked all of the right questions and got to know him before sitting for us. While we were away for the weekend, Holly came to visit and take our dog for a number of walks throughout the day. She sent us updates and photos which were exactly what we asked for. We would highly recommend Holly!”
“Sydney was great - very responsive and kind. She took care of my dog and my two cats. Looking forward to having her watch my animals again soon!”
“Anna and her pup were great house sitters and dog sitters for our two great dogs! It was great knowing our house and dogs were well taken care of while we traveled..”
“Abby took wonderful care of our senior cat! I was nervous about leaving him as he has advanced CKD and was worried our absence would stress him out and potentially lead to a crash. Abby was extremely communicative and responsive. The regular videos and pics she sent assured me my cat was doing great while we were gone! Her love of animals shines through in her communication. She left our house spotless. We would happily book Abby again!”
About: I have been the go-to pet care taker around the neighborhood forever! I am more than willing to do house sitting, as I feel like the animals are more comfortable that way and I have cats at the house. I work short 4 hour shifts 2 days during the week and then 6 hour shifts on the weekends, so I have plenty of time during the week!! I do not have a fenced in yard but I live in a quiet neighborhood with more than enough space to take a walk. I also have a pretty decently sized backyard!
About: Animals are children to me. Grew up with many dogs/cats & birds! Offer great at home visits to exercise, play & feed your pets! Strong, driven individual that can handle multiple large dogs at a time. Also have trained many puppies through my youth and adult life, so can handle the little ones too! Respectful to clients and pets alike, understanding the value and security of your home and neighborhood. Will always walk dogs until they poop and pee; will pet and play with them during walks and visits. Please do not hesitate to ask questions or request supplemental services. You will not regret picking me as your animals caretaker!! I am working part time with a flexible schedule, so boarding your dog takes priority. I wake up early each morning and retire around 9p I have many trails in the back of our property, with hills and fields to run in. Dogs are given all the love I can muster in the home and out on walks or hikes! Very safe environment for your dog
“Ariel was a great dog/house sitter while we were away for a weekend. She made sure all the dogs needs were met and then some, I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Lillian is great! She has watched our 2 dogs and cat 3 times. She always keeps us updated and sends us photos! We always feel better going away knowing the our pets are taken care of.”
About: I had a dog (pitbull mix) that passed at 14 years old last year and I often took care of my aunt’s dog (redhound mix) that lived until she was 16, so I can handle senior care for dogs. I have lived with cats in the past and have experience cat sitting. I have a flexible schedule in the summertime and have a job outdoors that I can take dogs to, though they would just have to get along with other dogs if I bring them to work. My home is just as welcome to pets as it is to humans. I have a large shared (unfenced) yard space and love taking dogs on (leashed!) walks around my neighborhood and surrounding mountains/natural areas. I have cleared litter boxes before.
“Clara saved me in an extremely stressful situation. She provided pictures and updates periodically, cleaned up after my pup, and made sure to take care of maples medicines, feedings, and health conditions. Clara was perfect and has helped ease my mind about being away from my puppy.”
“Rory and Liam made my dogs (and us) feel so comfortable and taken care of while we were gone! We came back to happy healthy dogs and a perfectly clean house and got lots of cute photos and updates along the way. She is respectful and kind and our dogs instantly took to her calm energy. We're pet owners with a lot of rules and instructions and Rory followed every one respectfully and I could tell how happy our dog friends were from her pictures! Can't wait to have Rory pet sit for us again on our next getaway.”
“Liz was on very short notice for us and made us feel secure in leaving our pups with her in our home even though we had not had her sit prior. She updated us with photos and video, and left our home as she found it. Thank you Liz for taking care of Tuna, Budgie, and Bug!”
“Bella and Cameron were very attentive and responsible pet sitters and they were so good at drawing out our shy cat! We loved the cute photos from them playing with her!”
“Taylor went above and beyond with Maple and house sitting. She tended to my puppies strict food diet, she administered meds. She stayed an extra night when plans were switched. She provided constant updates and reassurance that Maple was in good hands. She cleaned up messes that Maple made. And she bonded with Maple, not wanting to leave in the end! I will definitely be back to have Taylor stay with Maple if ever needed!”
“Frankie was great and responsive while I was away! She checked in with pics and updates on the pups and she made sure they got out at the times that they needed, it felt good to know they were in good hands!”

Andrew C.
“Andrew has done a wonderful job with my dog Tunechi. He always takes him out for long walks to the park and knows he doesn't like to play in the dog run.

I cannot recommend Andrew more!”
