2. Jennifer M.
“I'm so glad we found Jennifer to walk our dog during the day! I used to be able to come home on my lunch break to take Scout out, but we recently moved to Trumbull and I'm no longer able to do this. Jennifer has been fantastic, she takes Scout for a nice walk, plays in the backyard, and gives her plenty of love and attention.”

“Robin has been fantastic with Franco! She is prompt and communicative, she even let me know when he was suddenly ill and waited with him until I could get home and take him to the vet. She helped socialize him as a puppy and brought him all around the neighborhood. All of my neighbors tell me she’s great with Franco. I highly recommend her services.”
5. Theresa T.
“Theresa has done nothing but provide the most TLC for my Zara. She's done an amazing job paying attention to her behaviors and accommodated to her wants. Zara hates the rain and wanted to turn back around before the 30 min was up. Instead of leaving, Theresa sat with Zara and gave her all the butt scratches and extra love. We will def continue to use Theresa for our old girls needs.”

7. Lauren T.
“Lauren is fantastic with all animals, she has dogs and cats. She worked on farms and have rode horses her entire life. She truly cares more about animals than anything else. She works and lives on a farm where she takes care of goats, chickens, and the two sweetest dogs. Lauren has truly a gift when it comes to dealing with all animals. I’ve never seen any animal dislike Lauren or her not be able to deal with any problem. Everytime one of her animals has an issue she always makes sure it’s okay and finds a solution. Lauren is amazing with animals to keep it short and she has a great reputation when it comes to a vast variety of animals.”

About: We love dogs!! Growing up, I wanted a huge property with a dog rescue. I am still working towards that goal and currently we have one foster fail dog and have fostered over 20 others. We are always happy to have a new friend around to play with our dog and our foster dog (if we have one at the time). We are almost always home and can offer lots of time and care to your furry friend! I work full time but my husband works from home and is home most of the day. I am a teacher so I have summers free. In our home, our dog has the freedom to come in and out as she pleases, she communicates by ringing a bell at our door. She spends time in her crate when we leave but that amounts to less than 5 hours each week. Our dog currently eats three times each day and she usually gets two walks each day (1-2 miles each).

10. Lindsay D.
“She was great! Came the day before to meet me and my dog to go over everything. Very responsive and obviously caring!”
11. Laura H.
About: I have had cats since I was a baby and had chow chow dogs since I was 13 years old. I also worked at a kennel off and on for 12.5 years. I learned a little training but not a lot. I have worked with all different breeds of dogs. I love snuggling with cats as I grew up with having them in my household. I currently work full time however, full time is 30 hours for me so it allows me to have 3 to 4 days off towards the end of the week depending on the week. We have a large back yard with a dog run and as far as my cat. He is an indoor cat and gets spoiled indoors.
12. Keleigh L.
“Keleigh is a star as always! Our dog is anxious, however, she connects really well with Keleigh and is relaxed and happy to see her. We couldn’t ask for a better match.”
13. Thea J.
“Thea was the best!! She came right on time and gave Maggie a nice long walk. She seemed so happy in the pictures and our girl even gave her the infamous sad puppy face when she was leaving. That’s how we know she loves Thea!!”

18. Drew T.
About: As a lifelong animal enthusiast, I'm thrilled to turn my passion into a career. Recently, I said goodbye to my beloved childhood dog of 15.5 years, who taught me the value of dedication and senior care. Caring for him during his golden years, including managing daily medications, only deepened my love for animals. My friends and acquaintances took notice of my animal-loving spirit and began asking me to pet sit for them. Now, I'm excited to offer my services to you! With experience in caring for reptiles, chickens, and dogs, I'm confident in my ability to provide top-notch care. Raising chickens from baby chicks to healthy, thriving layers was a rewarding experience that taught me the importance of attention to detail and nurturing. Trust me to give your furry (and scaly) friends the love and care they deserve. Let's work together to create a happy, healthy environment for your beloved pets! I am currently dedicating my time to my business. I enjoy to play disc golf in my free time and I’m an avid Patriots football fan (don’t hate me for it) Your Pet's Home Away from Home I understand the importance of finding a trusted and loving caregiver for your furry friend. That's why I'm committed to providing personalized, one-on-one attention to your dog or cat when in the comfort of my own home or when in your home. Just like my beloved Otis, your pet will receive the utmost care and attention, tailored to their unique needs and preferences. Here's what you can expect: - A quiet, stress-free environment free from other animals and children - Customized dog walking schedules to suit your pet's needs and your preferences - Cozy sleeping arrangements - either snuggled up with me or in their own bed, whichever they prefer Trust me to give your pet the love, care, and attention they deserve.
