We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Sarah. She went above and beyond to make sure our cat was well cared for while we were abroad. The updates, photos, and attention to detail made all the difference. She is also incredibly warm and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. We will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!

You will not find a better person to care for your pet. Kristen is caring, attentive, and exactly the type of person I needed to care for my high energy pup while I'm at work. She cares and wants to do what is the best for you and your pet. So happy to have met her, you will not be disappointed!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve been around animals since I was little, and I started volunteering at an animal shelter in middle school, where I learned how to care for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. I’ve also helped train young dogs, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic commands, maintaining routines, and handling high-energy pups. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in school, but my class load is pretty light so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I usually wake up around 8 and would love to start my day with a walk or spending time with your pet. I’m home a lot since my school is only about 5 minutes away, so your pet will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. I have a fence dog park where I live, I have two cats who are fully vaccinated and can be held in a separate room if needed.

Molly was amazing!! Stevie loved her during the meet and greet and she had so much fun during the drop in. She is very quick to respond and attentive to all of Stevie’s needs. She even stayed longer than she needed to just to be with Stevie💗

About: Hi! I've helped taken care of my family's dog since I was 12, and since then, I've gained experience in caring for multiple dogs and cats. I'm thrilled to help serve my local community. In addition, I've taken multiple animal science courses in my studies at UConn, and have a working knowledge of animal care. I'm a senior studying the life sciences at the University of Connecticut. As a full time student (with extracurriculars), I certainly have a busy schedule, however; that helps motivate me to manage my time and set aside certain days and nights for work! Also, I don't have any class on Fridays or Saturdays, which is perfect for weekend pet sitting needs! I can also overnight pet sit on most nights. Most of my pet sitting work will revolve around ensuring your pet is taken outside (or for a walk) when needed, fed on time (this includes ensuring fresh water is always accessible 24/7!), and given time for playtime (or even time for calm activities, especially if the pet is anxious). This is a fairly standard list of care—so if your pet has needs that differ, please let me know!

Kaylee was absolutely awesome and did a great job taking care of my cats for a week while I was on vacation. She let me know exactly what she did while here and kept me updated on how they were doing everyday. She also sent pictures every visit!! Such a nice touch! She was everything I could have asked for in a pet sitter and I will definitely be in touch with her the next time. Thank you so much Kaylee!! Absolutely top notch service!!

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life, primarily dogs up until high school. In addition to caring for my own family and extended family's pets, I also often pet-sit for my neighbors. I have experience with both large and small dog breeds, as well as cats. I currently work in a lab up at UConn, so I am most free in the evenings and over the weekend for pet care services. As someone with a watchful eye, I can ensure your dog(s) will always have my full attention! And besides, who can't help but look at a dog?!

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, lizards, and a chinchilla. My friends made a joke that my house was a zoo with all the animals we had. I love animals and I can’t imagine my life without a furry pet. I’m currently in college at UConn, but finishing off my senior year so only taking a couple credits. I have flexible hours and love walking. When I’m home we don’t have a fenced in backyard but she’s trained to come back. We take her on hikes all the time to tire her out. My cats are older and have to take medication but they love snuggling up with my dog.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or a quiet walk, I’m fully present and genuinely enjoy every moment I spend with them. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. Pet care routine fits perfectly in my recent schedule, since Im working on my own business and trying to work as a photographer. My schedule is pretty open for now. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety and comfort always come first. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with lots of cozy spots and zero hazards. I follow all your instructions carefully—from feeding and medication to routines and house rules—because consistency helps pets feel secure. I also give regular updates with photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Your trust means everything to me, and I treat every pet like family.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience with both training and senior care. I trained my own dog, who is now 12 years old, and I currently care for him as he experiences arthritis. This has taught me how to recognize signs of discomfort, adjust activity levels, and provide daily massages to keep him comfortable. I understand that not every dog needs long walks, and I prioritize each pet’s individual needs, safety, and well-being. I’m currently a senior in college, which gives me a bit more flexibility in my schedule, and I truly enjoy spending that time caring for pets. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m able to plan my days around pets and give them the attention and consistency they need. I live in an off-campus house with a front yard that does not open onto a busy street, which helps provide a safe and calm environment for pets. The house is spacious, allowing pets to move around comfortably and have their own space to relax. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I’m very attentive and focused on making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I take time to build trust, follow routines closely, and make sure pets feel safe and happy in my presence.

Chelsea was amazing! I was honestly skeptical of the app and process. As i'm sure any pet parent can be but she made the process nice and easy. Her daily updates were so lovely, thoughfully written and such cute pics. I would choose to have Chelsea again anytime we go away. Anyone who's on the fence just go for it. Chelsea is great and will care for your pets as if they were her own.

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to shy cats and everything in between. I’m comfortable with any schedule your pet needs and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I am currently a student so all of my days are flexible. The semester is almost over but next semester I only have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m available for boarding during the week and weekends and everything else is flexible and able to fit into my schedule. There’s plenty of places for them to walk and play. They can easily be crated as well. Anything can be accommodated and done as needed.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I’ve grown up with a cat and two labs, so caring for both cats and dogs feels very natural to me. I’m used to everything from playtime and walks to quiet companionship, and I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and personality. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a student at UConn! My schedule and course load is fairly light so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pets! I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their own space and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box or potty needs, medication if needed, and playtime. I make sure pets get attention, exercise, and companionship, while also keeping the home clean and secure. I always respect the pet’s habits and personality and aim to keep things as stress-free as possible.

Jo was terrific! Very communicative and responsible. She sent us photos every day of our cat Olivia who seem to have a terrific time visiting with her. I would highly recommend Jo to anyone looking for someone who wants to be sure that their pet will be well taken care of.

About: I have loved all animals since I was a child. From my childhood to current, I have had many different types of animals as pets and as rescues. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, and I also volunteer at a Raptor Wildlife Rehab. Our current pet babies include 2 cats, 5 parrots, a young bearded dragon and two small aquariums. I have cared for pets of friends and family both in their homes and in my own home. I also worked at 2 veterinary hospitals as a receptionist and did some technician assistance. My heart has always been connected to animals and I would love to care for your pet babies too. I work full time as a Behavior Technician in the Tolland School District. I would be available to stop in to care for pets after work (around 4pm). I am also available on the weekends for drop in care and for boarding at (my home)-cats only in my home please. All other pets I can care for in your home. I like to have a detailed list from the owner to get a better understanding of the specific needs of the pet. I like to have specific requirements, food, routine etc for any pet I'm caring for. This applies to both drop in care and boarding (cats only) in my home.
