House Sitting in West Mystic

“Jennifer was great with our boy! She was so accommodating and let us add a day. She sent pictures and updates daily and we felt so comfortable with her care. We would totally recommend!”

M H.

“Angela took great care of our two dogs, braving freezing and snowy weather and sending us lots of updates and photos. We’ll definitely be asking her to watch our pups again!”

Yvonne R.

“Emi was very responsive and communicative. She kept me updated with pictures and arrival and departure times. My doggie Ezra was cool and happy when I returned home. She also kept my place very neat. I highly recommend Emi!!”

Constance G.

“We’ve used Lauren several times and on this trip away we hit a major delay in our return. Lauren was happy to return to make sure our pup was cared for! So thankful for Lauren and feel so reassured leaving our dog in her care in the future.”

Emilia G.

“John saved the day with coming over earlier than anticipated for an already long 2.5 week trip. He was responsive, communicative, and had a great calm energy- which was needed with my nervous pup. He won the nervous pup over within a day- and the photos with the happy wagging tail proved her allegiance had shifted. It was our longest trip away from the pets, but John made it easy for us with his updates. He even let us know when it looked like the pups were running out of a supplement we had just started giving them. We arrived home to 2 happy dogs and 1 ambivalent cat, all clearly well-fed and taken care of. We have already have asked John to watch the pets again next April. I am so grateful to have found John and will recommend him to our neighbors and friends when they need someone to house sit. Thanks, John!”

About: I had a maltese puppy for 10 years from age 9 weeks onward and most recently had a shih tzu puppy that turned 1 on 5/28/25. In the oast I've had pets including hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and fish of my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your pup will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. Here's what a typical day looks like when your dog is with me: 🐾 Morning (7am–10am): Potty break, breakfast, and a light walk or play session 🐾 Midday (11am–2pm): Walks, potty breaks, enrichment games, or just relaxing cuddle time 🐾 Afternoon (3pm–6pm): Another walk or active playtime in a safe, calm environment 🐾 Evening (7pm–9pm): Dinner, a final potty break, and winding down for the night I'm available for: ✅ Drop-in visits ✅ Dog walking ✅ Puppy care Weekend and holiday availability included! I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, or specific instructions your dog needs to feel comfortable and loved. When you trust me to care for your dog, I show up with love, respect, and attention to detail — all in the comfort of your dog’s familiar surroundings. 🐶 In-Home Peace of Mind: I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most secure. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit, taking your pup for a walk, or staying overnight, I follow your routine closely to minimize stress and keep your dog calm and happy. 🦴 Personalized, Gentle Care: I specialize in small breeds and have over 10 years of experience. From meal schedules and potty routines to medication or calming techniques, I provide care tailored to your dog’s specific needs. 🚶🏽‍♀️ Safe & Engaging Walks: Walks are done one-on-one in familiar areas, with close attention to your pet’s energy level, leash behavior, and comfort. I avoid crowded dog parks or risky environments to keep your dog safe. 📝 Trustworthy & Transparent: I communicate clearly, provide updates, and send photos during every visit. You’ll always know how your pet is doing, whether I’m there for 20 minutes or staying the night. Your pet stays safe, your home is respected, and you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, responsible hands.

About: Aside from having a dog of my own, I've spent my whole life around dogs of all sizes through family and friends. I often dog sit friends and coworkers and have hands-on experience caring for different breeds and temperaments. I'm also a Husky Handler for Jonathan the Husky at the University of Connecticut, where I help care for and handle him at events. I have a huge soft spot for animals and am committed to making every pet feel loved and happy in my care. When not in school, my schedule can be very flexible and I can often accommodate short-notice requests. During the semester, I'm generally more open on the weekends than weekdays; however, depending on the time and location, I'm happy to find a schedule that will work. I prioritise keeping pets comfortable and safe, while maintaining their normal routines, whether they have specific exercise schedules, medications to take, etc. I carefully follow any and all instructions provided, and I also make sure all pets receive plenty of attention and companionship so they feel secure while their owner is away. I respect each client's home by keeping everything clean and organised, and am happy to provide regular updates on pets for owners' peace of mind.

“Jessica was very attentive to our 13 yr old dog, making sure he was well fed and got his multiple medications. She kept us updated with videos and photos. He was happy to see us when we got home but I think he also missed Jessica!”

About: I’ve owned and cared for pets my entire life, with dedication, experience and loyalty. I would treat your dog as a part of my own family. As an active and athletic retiree, pet sitting seamlessly weaves into my daily life with abundant time to shower pets with attention, play time (someone say jogging?!) and care. In the literal lap of luxury, Toby and Pippin are in a world of pampering with plush beds to gourmet treats. In the 14 1/2 years we had our beloved Golden Retirever … Bozzie… he was our world and gave us the same endless affection we gave him.

About: Growing up we always had dogs and cats in our home. Once turned adult I was always the go to dog/cat/house sitter. I’m retired LEO and have a lot of time on my hands to share with my pup and yours! I’m currently retired and have no fixed schedule at the moment. My husband is only off Sunday and Monday and would prefer not to work while he’s off but am willing to compromise! I do live in an apartment but have a walking trail just 7 minutes away that my pup loves. Plus the complex is pet and walk friendly.

“Emily did a great job taking care of our 5 pets! They require some specialized care and she had no trouble doing everything we asked of her! She was also just super nice, left the house clean, and sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”

Marlee F.

“Jennifer was great with my Newfoundland and springer spaniel. She provided pictures and had a timeline with the feeding times, walks and adventures she provided for our 2 dogs. I highly recommend her staying at your home with big or small dogs as she truly loves dogs and I can tell my dogs loved having her stay the weekend with them. Bravo for Jennifer”

Dave N.

“Angelle has become our trusted and go-to sitter! We are always grateful for her support in taking care of our puppies while we are out on travel.”

John H.

“Great person to be with our Thor! Definitely will hire her again”

Joseph B.

“Jessica is the best sitter you could have, she stayed overnight with my dog and took incredible care of him. I now have a sitter for my Tucker when I need to go away.”

Renee F.

“Anna was great! She cared for our babies and our house as if they were her own. Everything was clean when we came home. We got pictures every day and she was very reliable. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up with a dog and cat my entire life. I have experience with training. I grew up walking my neighbors dogs. When my friend goes out of town I walk and feed her dog as well as her cat. I learn very easily so if there is specific needs for your pet, I will always follow those instructions. I have just started using the rover app and have had wonderful experiences with pets and families. I work some days during the week, but otherwise I am fully flexible. I’m open to discussing any needs and finding the best schedule for the pets! If there is anything I can do to ensure you feel comfortable, I am more than happy to work it out. Making sure your pet is cared for is my top priority.

“My stubborn old rescue chow liked her. What more could you want.”

Spencer M.

“Jasmine was great and helped us out in a pinch this weekend. She sent a couple pictures and was responsive to our questions and comments! We definitely would hire her again!”

Sarah P.

“Once again, Faith gives above and beyond -/ sends photos of the babies, takes meticulous care of medications, leaves house spotless -- she is the best and we'd be lost without her.”
