About: Hi! I’m very experienced with dogs as well as cats. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. I have a lot of experience watching pets while there owners were away for a long period of time as well as stopping to let their dog out. Including puppy’s, dogs and cats. I would love to meet your pet and take care of them as my own! I’m currently a part time waitress and have a very flexible schedule. I’m very happy to help especially with any last minute bookings! I’ve had both dogs and cats my whole life of all different breeds. Ive grown up with dogs my whole life so Im very comfortable in most situations. I care for your animals as if they were my own. I know how worry some it is to leave them but I promise they are in good paws ;) with me! I make sure to take them on proper walks, pick up after them, give any medicine if necessary, and love them as if they were my own!

About: i’ve have many types of breeds. i currently have two border collies and love working with animals. i can’t wait to meet yours, im excited it’s in my everyday routine , i have a very hyper breed so they are very active. i wake up and my dog is the first thing i take of , and i do the same throughout the day. i make sure she’s taken care of before other things. i do what is more comfortable for the dog , if they are hyper i’ll play with them until they are tired. if they are calm dogs i’ll feed them and make sure they are cared for either way.

About: I have been caring for neighbor’s, friend’s and family’s pets when needed since I was a teenager 8 years ago. It is one of my favorite ways to give back to the people and pets in my life! I am currently working part time, leaving plenty of time to pet sit both cats, dogs, and bunnies. I also have experience walking friends and family’s dogs and would love to do that for others as well. I regularly feed, provide water, and take my family friend’s pets on walks. I also spend time with their dogs in their back yard playing with them!

About: I absolutely love going for walks and runs with dogs! Please see updated photos for some of my previous pet clients. Recently took care of a few hairless cats as well as a big dog! I’ve taken care of pets in many settings, including messier households! (Not a neat freak so messes do not bother me!) I trained my Doberman on Couch to 5k, running through all the trails in RI. I’ve taught my cat how to shuffle cards, play piano, and spin in a circle on command, and my mom’s old cat would always practice Pilates with us at 6 in the morning. Recently I dropped in for a friend’s 2 cats, even the shy one eventually warmed up to me! They required medication in their food so she left detailed, neatly handwritten notes on the table, which helped a lot! Known for my positive and caring energy as a music therapist (who works alongside a pet therapist!) and music teacher, and with a mom with a college degree in animal science, I have a passion for animals in general. She is now dating a farmer and we now have a baby cow named clover who I help take care of occasionally on Sundays. Generally I am available in the middle of the day most days of the week for one-off visits. My boyfriend is a biologist and also has a small dog who I walk frequently in the mornings and at midnight (she’s a night owl like us!) Available to do drop-ins at your home within 45 mins of Montville - please message me at least one week before your trip to solidify the booking! Please be kind, respectful, and professional in your requests - I do not take last minute visits but would love to help you out with your furry friend. Not a veterinarian, just an animal lover with a lot of compassion!! One of my favorite activities is running, I can always walk or run with your pet, or if you prefer us to lounge, I have lots of great pet-friendly shows on our nice TV. I love driving so I’m happy to drive to you if it’s further away - as I am regularly back and forth between Westerly, RI and Uncasville, CT. Outside of teaching in a formal studio, I’ve worked in client’s homes for therapy-related meetings as well as for music lessons - and believe it or not often times there are pets who love to sing along to the music! I usually stay home in the morning so I can easily take care of your pet between 7 am and 2 pm. I used to have an office job but found it too sedentary and draining; I discovered I thrive in outdoor and home environments. I’m excited to enter this new chapter and care for animals! I have a partially fenced yard so I would generally take pets out on a leash but it is a non-busy road and very safe - the lawn is freshly mowed and we have a playground your dog can weave around! I also have a cute little neighborhood that we can circle around that is far from the highway and if your pet loved car rides, we can always go to the park and get ice cream! Occasionally our neighbor’s dog likes to come over unsolicited but he is always very gentle and friendly! My cats are also used to my mom’s boyfriend’s rambunctious dogs coming in and out from time to time and we have plenty of doors and rooms in the house and baby gates if we ever needed to keep pets separate! We also have a spare pet bed if needed that was gifted to us - we always want to make sure your pet is comfortable sleeping at night!

About: Having cared for 13 dogs and 4 cats (yes, we keep count), we've seen it all. Daily exercise and even bathing is quite familiar to us. Leo has hands-on experience with animal shelters, and I have biological based experience with both nutritional needs and animal anatomy, and we both can provide basic training. We currently have a year-old golden retriever and a tabby! We've dealt with a couple lovable (but difficult) pets and can deal with issues like stubbornness, biting, and basic potty training. Leo works from home, and I'm a commuter-basically, there's always someone home! We are both the "outdoorsy" type and frequent the devil's hop yard, as well as hike through our property. As STEM majors, animals keep us sane! We can also transport your pets (we have the seating and everything). Our property has a spacious (but secure) 100-acre forest, perfect for supervised walks and exploration! At home, our pets—a friendly Golden Retriever and a sweet Tabby—ensure your furry friend will never feel lonely. We can also provide crate time if needed for safety or comfort, and (given our flexibility) tailor care routines to meet each pet’s needs!

“My dogs love Shannon! So much so that after a meet-and-greet with her, one of my dogs was ready to go home with her. Something I had never seen him do before. It was adorable! Shannon was responsive, reliable, prompt, and sent me the cutest pictures of my dogs during her drop-in visits. Shannon gave me total peace of mind while I was away from my home. I will be using her in the future for any pet-sitting needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats, and spent my entire life taking care of them. I have watched many friends and neighbor's pets growing up. I have also volunteered at a dog adoption agency and shadowed a veteranarian. I have experience watching puppies, kittens, and senior dogs. My experience includes bathing, walking, feeding and general care. I love animals and could not think of a better way to spend my time then taking care of pets! I am still asked by friends and loved ones to watch their animals, and I will treat your pets as my own. I work part time for several theatres so I have a flexible schedule and have plenty of free time to take care of pets! I am always free in evenings and on weekends, as well as certain free weeks when I am not needed at work. I am not intending to house any animals, however I will follow any instructions you have on taking care of pets in your home. I will be responsible with the animal and it's surroundings, making sure it is safe and happy.

“Emma is simply the best. She is responsible and dependable. She’s a great communicator and takes plenty of pet photos and videos. Best of all, my pets love her! With Emma, I always feel like my animals are in good hands”
