Madison was absolutely amazing! She was super great with my dog and cat. We were traveling all day and she made sure the dog went out for walks and that he had food and water (plus ice cubes)! I definitely recommend her and her services!

About: There’s never been a moment in my life where I wasn’t around a dog. I love dogs and treat them the way they deserve, like family. As a bartender I have a pretty flexible schedule. Mostly open during the day when people are at work I am home or running errands. I can give the care and attention your fur baby needs in your home or mine. 💗 I do have my own baby, but that doesn’t take away from how much love I can give yours. I can assure you my cat is shy but friendly and we will introduce them before any long or short term stay if you choose the option of pet care in my home.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and I currently have a dog back in Costa Rica who has a special condition and uses a wheelchair. Caring for him has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve learned to adapt to his unique needs and rhythm, provide extra support when necessary, and ensure he feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. This experience has taught me patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of how every pet has their own personality and pace. From energetic pups to those with special needs, I know how to adjust activities, offer affection, and create a stress-free, happy environment. My goal is always to make each dog feel valued, cared for, and truly at home while in my care. Hi! I’m available throughout the week, depending on the service you need. I usually offer dog walks from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and I’m flexible to adjust to your schedule whenever possible. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Feel free to message me so we can discuss details and find a plan that works for both of us. 🐾 I live in an apartment, with a small space, however the complex has a dog park and a large green area. It is a calm and quiet place

About: I’ve taken care of not only my own pets, but family and friends that trust me and continue to rely on me to walk, pet sit over night, and just stop for feeding, attention, and walks! I’m currently in school at University of Connecticut. As of now I am available week and weekends until January 10th which will then change to Friday-Sundays only! I have a fenced park near me which I walk my own dog to each day. My dog is very friendly and would love to keep your dog company!

About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds after I graduated from college and finally have my own place and free time. Been a professional dog sitter for 8 years. Their needs is always my priority. When I dog sitting, I don’t normally go in and out, I always make sure I stay with them because they feel lonely and nervous about their owner is not around. I walk them every hour, take them to park and dog park. I am now between jobs and taking care of my dog whole day at home. He is a super friendly 11 month old Aussie. Fixed male, he loves all dogs and get along with everyone I have been sitting before. He loves when there’s other dogs around. He has no problem with sharing treats and mom’s attention. We have a 1.5 acre big backyard to let them do business, running and play fetch and I always make sure I am at the yard with them. Our neighborshood is away from traffic, quiet and safe for walking dogs. I take dogs to dog park everyday around 5:00 pm for 1-2 hours to burn the extra energy and boost appetite for dinner. I love just looking at them for hours, pay close attention to dogs. How many time they scratch the ears and how many times they pee and poop. I am also good at cooking fresh nutritious dog meal. My dog loves chicken breast, chicken liver/beef liver, carrots, pumpkin and sweet potato meal. I hope my dog Keanu and I can make the stay feels like a vacation and fun for your dog. I have a 3 floor house with big yard, 2 people 1 dog live in the house. The whole first floor is for dogs, with big living room, couch, beds and a crate. Many windows allow them to look front yard and back yard. They can wander around to any floor and room they like, so even if they want some alone time, there are plenty of space for them. I can’t host cats due to my husband allergies, but I always love to go to your place to clean and feed the cats. I am between jobs so I am home 24/7. I go to the yard with dogs every hour to do business or play. Their schedule is always my priority. I always make sure to go to the yard with the dogs. I also have a super friendly 11 month old dog to keep them company

About: We’ve owned many dogs growing and are super excited for the opportunity to be around animals while living in a new state. We've house sat for neighbors, friends and family for a number of years so please take a look at our testimonials. We both have very flexible schedules! Matthew is an PhD student and Mary Beth works from home, so we're both available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. We love walking and biking around the West End of Hartford, but we do have cars for extra flexibility. Your pet's safety and comfort are our top priorities. When house sitting, we follow your routine closely to keep things familiar and stress-free for your pet. We’re respectful of your home and aim to leave it just as we found it—if not better. For dog walking, we use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and always keep a close eye on your dog’s comfort and energy level. During doggy daycare, your pet will have a calm, supervised environment with lots of attention, play, and breaks as needed. We're happy to accommodate special needs, medications, or quirks—just let us know!

About: At home I've been taking care of Ramsey, my small, high-energy, dog for almost 9 years. In these 9 years I've gained a larger a sense of responsibility and my love for animals has grown tremendously. I know how to communicate with dogs and read dog body language in order to cater to their needs and give them best care. As a recent graduate, I have more flexibility in my schedule, I can dedicate ample time to caring for my pets. This includes feeding, grooming, walking, and spending quality time with them to ensure their well-being and happiness. Engaging in activities like playing, training, and companionship not only enriches their lives but also brings a sense of purpose to my day. While job hunting, I find solace and a sense of responsibility in taking care of my pets, creating a positive and fulfilling routine amidst my current situation. At home I make sure my dog cannot access anything that can harm him. I close doors to the bathroom so he can’t access the trash can and I put gates up around the house to areas he can’t be in. During walks I am very careful and aware of my surroundings. If I walk at night, I walk in a well lit area with a few friends.
