“Thank you so much! Appreciate you giving Didion his walk and medicine. He seemed like he did well especially given that he hadn’t met you prior to his walk. Thank you, Dani, for being reliable and trustworthy.”

About: I have two adult Golden Retrievers that I care for daily, including feeding, walking, and training them. Through this, I’ve gained hands-on experience managing energetic dogs, understanding their needs, and making sure they’re happy and safe. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring plenty of love, exercise, and attention. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I walk, feed, and play with my two Golden Retrievers every day. I enjoy being active and always make time to ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and love they need. I am flexible and can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, loving environment and treat every pet as if they were my own. In my home, I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs for companionship, and I can also crate if needed. In a client’s home, I maintain routines, follow instructions closely, and make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and loved.
About: I am an active volunteer at the humane society which consists of walking dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. Aside from that I have fostered puppies who needed weight gain and I have fostered a senior dog. I am a student so I often have large gaps of time between classes and I have weekends off making my schedule for dog walking very flexible. I care with great intent, to respect the owner, the pet, and the home. It is a job like any other so attention to detail and care are very important especially because they are living creatures!
About: With over 30 years of experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, and fish, I’ve dedicated much of my life to making sure animals are happy, healthy, and loved. From playful puppies to senior cats, energetic birds to peaceful aquariums, I understand that every pet has unique needs and a personality all their own. I’ve also spent years volunteering at animal shelters, giving my time and heart to animals in need. Those experiences taught me patience, compassion, and how to quickly build trust with pets of all temperaments. Whether it’s long walks, cuddle time, feeding, administering medications, or just providing a calm presence, I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pets feel safe and cared for, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I retired from my corporate career in high level accounting and finance roles. Now I am focused on spending my time doing things I love. I love animals! So, my schedule is very flexible. I have a fenced in yard and a walkable neighborhood. I also have a mature female dog who is calm and friendly. I believe in making my guest feel welcome and loved.
About: I've been showering cats and dogs with love for over 10 years! Growing up with a house full of pets, treating them like family is second nature to me. My experience goes beyond just pets; I'm also a dedicated caregiver for my mom, grandpa, and baby brother, which has made me incredibly patient, reliable, and super attentive to everyone's needs – furry or not! I know firsthand the special care our senior companions need. I recently cared for my Frenchie who, despite his age, brought so much joy. We navigated his mobility challenges with a wheelchair and diapers, and I was always there to carry him when he was tired, showering him with endless love. Building trust with him was a journey, especially after he experienced past abuse. It taught me the importance of patience and gentle reassurance, and I'm proud to say we developed a beautiful bond. Currently, my home is shared with two wonderful cats: one is a total cuddle bug who's always up for some 24/7 pets, and the other is a charming lone wolf who secretly loves his quiet cuddles. This diverse experience has given me a deep understanding of different personalities and needs, from energetic pups to anxious rescues and laid-back felines. My pet care plan is all about keeping things fun and smooth for your furry pals! I make sure they get plenty of walks each day to stretch their legs and get their wiggles out. Feeding is always on point, tailored to exactly what your pet loves and needs. And don't even worry about messes – keeping their space super clean and tidy is my jam! Plus, I’m happy to take on the extra stuff too. Think awesome baths, neat nail trims, and brushing out all that fluffy fur for both dogs and cats. Need to hit the vet or want a whole fresh litter box? I've got you covered! It’s all about making sure your pets are happy, healthy, and looking their best. When it comes to your furry friends, I'm all about building trust and making sure they feel safe and comfy! I'll follow your instructions to a T, making sure their routine is just right. On our walks, your pet's safety is my absolute number one priority. I'm always on guard, keeping a watchful eye. Plus, I'll send you fun pics and videos so you can see all the adventures! I respect your pet's space and your home, ensuring everything is left just as you like it. Basically, I'm here to give your pets the best care, and give you peace of mind!

My schedule does change each week so I do require some flexibility. I have two dogs at home, both with their own medical needs so I am vigilant about any changes in their behaviors and carry that over to how I take care of all my clients’ pets and will immediately alert them to any changes or behaviors that may need further monitoring. While I cannot board pets at my own home, I am happy to do drop-ins at my clients’ homes to take care of their pets.

“Alexis came in for two weeks on last minute notice. She was extremely reliable, communicative and hard-working. Frankie clearly loved her as well from the photos we received. Highly recommend!”

“Clare is exactly what I needed to help me out with our family dog. She is so flexible, accommodating, understanding, the list goes on. She shows up on time, communicates any concerns when she needs to, and I will be hiring her again, no question! She’s absolutely perfect- and I don’t normally say that about any service and I’ve lived in Westport for over 50 years. What is perhaps even the most important, is that our dog loved her. And animals can sense kind spirits! Thank you Clare!!”

Lexi was great! She took care of our senior, old and slow pit-mix like he was her own. She came over ahead of time to meet Mason and get a lay of the land. She communicated very well while we were away, and took lots of pictures and videos of Mason along the way so we knew he was being treated well. We look forward to using Lexi again!
