Pet Sitting in Winsted

About: From our family pets to neighbor pet sitting. I walk, play, bathe, and relax with pets at their homes or at the parks. I want them to enjoy the day and be able to explore around town on their walks. I’m currently working full time hybrid office opportunity. I am able to work from home and can spend time with the pets while working. I do have tax seasons where I am in office but can walk dogs during lunch time or on the weekends I am working from home and work is flexible with this. I follow any instructions given to me by the client on how to make their pet comfortable at their own home and be able to enjoy their time at home

About: I have over 15 years of personal experience caring for dogs of various breeds and sizes, including a Yorkshire Terrier, a Corgi, a Spaniel, and a Cane Corso. Living with both small companion dogs and strong large breeds has given me a deep understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I am comfortable handling everything from delicate toy breeds to powerful guardian dogs. I understand structure, consistency, and the importance of calm, confident energy — especially with larger breeds. I provide safe, attentive care including walking, feeding, playtime, and following detailed instructions. I treat every dog with patience, respect, and genuine affection, as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I am available early in the morning through 2:00 PM on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available after 3:00 PM for afternoon and evening visits. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure each pet receives attentive, unrushed care and consistency. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured, and clean environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions you provide. I understand the importance of supervision, especially with larger or more energetic breeds. I am attentive to behavior, body language, and stress signals to ensure every dog feels secure and respected. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own.

“Karina and Jared did a great job looking after my 2 cats while we were away. Jared did the drop in visits to feed, water and scoop. Karina was available for any questions I had and provided help with the Rover scheduling. They kept me up to date on the cat care and were great with communication. Thanks!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for and walking dogs, including my own Golden Retrievers, who I personally trained and walk regularly. I also care for two other dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and understand how important it is to keep your dog safe, happy, and well-exercised. You can trust that I will treat your pet with the same love and care as my own I’m currently working on part time and go to school, but I have morning availability, so I can make sure your dogs are taken care of early, giving you one less thing to worry about. I provide a safe, loving, and clean environment for all pets in my care. I make sure they are well fed, exercised, and supervised at all times. I follow your pet’s routine closely and ensure they feel comfortable and stress free. I also provide updates and will contact you immediately if there are any concerns or emergencies. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities.

About: I love being with animals and have experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, jumping sliders, and lizards. I enjoy learning each animal’s personality and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I am a student who goes to college out of state but is home for the month of January and is also working part time. Since losing a dog of my own I figured this would be a great opportunity to help others with their pets and still have a great time with animals. I do have a fenced in yard if I take dogs into my home but in other peoples homes, listening to the guardian is most important to me on how they coexist with their pet and respecting that. At the end of the day I want to help people care for their pets.

“Laina is a lovely person, reliable and flexible. We know our pets are in good hands with her. We are already booked for our next trip. Thanks, Laina!”

About: I absolutely love dogs all shapes and sizes, when you book with me your dog will be in a safe and loving environment with me. it’s important to me that any dog i’m with at the time will have a fun and enriching environment with me and the time we’re spending together. I have experience training puppies and pet sitting puppies. I’ve done extended petting sitting stays and have done petting sitting with multiple animals, i’ve done week long stays with 6+ animals, so I can handle a big crew if you have it. I have experience with farm animals and horses as well if that’s ever needed as well! I currently am not working and would love to add some furry friends to my day! I am quite flexible with my timing right now and offer free meet and greets for the safety and benefits of all of us. If you use me for pet sitting you can expect your dog to be fully safe! I will follow your directions and expectations to the tea because I know what it’s like to have to leave your dog with someone and not wanting to have to worry about your loved one

About: I've been trusted by many family and friends for the past ten years to care for their dogs of all ages, sizes, and zoomies levels. I'm currently working part-time and have the ability to shift my schedule around as needed. I'm very organized, so I can assure you that I will be on time and available to meet my obligations to you. In your home, I can cater to your desired care approach for your pets, so long as it remains loving and nurturing. This includes but is not limited to: playing with your animal, allowing your animal to sleep in the bed, assisting aged animals up and down stairs, etc.

“Theresa was fantastic. She sent lots of pictures and asked questions if she was concerned about something. The dogs clearly loved having her there and we didn't worry about them at all. We'll definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life. I currently live with three cats and one bunny. I have also had dogs throughout my life. So I welcome everyone! I’m currently working part time at a doggy daycare. So, I will be available weekends and some weekdays! And of course I always try to keep my schedule updated! I understand how frightening it could be for your pet to see a new person coming to your home. I can assure you, I will give them time to adjust and sniff. Then of course I can give them love!

“Lynsey is absolutely phenomenal! She took fabulous care of our wonderful cat, Inga, who is often shy with new people. Lynsey made Inga feel comfortable immediately and this continued for the entire time we were away. Lynsey was reliable, communicative, and it was a true privilege to work with her. We'd give her ten stars if we could, and cannot.say enough good things about her.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved caring for them. I currently have a mix breed, Marley who is my little sunshine. I enjoy hiking, running and watching cartoons with him haha. I know what its like finding someone who is trustworthy to care for my dog when I need to travel for work or personal vacation. It can be a bit stressful looking for a good sitter but I can assure you that your dog will be in good hands.

“My husband and I knew upon meeting Tara for the first time that she was the perfect fit with our cat, Charlie. Charlie is very shy and usually hides when people come to visit. However, this was not the case when Tara entered our home. Tara did a top-notch job taking care of Charlie during her drop in visits over a period of one month. We were so happy when she sent up pictures and updates. Tara is reliable, kind, professional, and a true animal lover. Cats can be messy with the litter, etc. But with Tara on the job, we came home to a very neat home and well-fed, content cat. We will definitely seek Tara services again. Furthermore, we highly recommend her. Thanks a million, Tara.”

“Amanda was great! She was consistent and made sure my cats had everything they needed. Including taking care of cleaning the cat bowls and picking up after one of them got sick. She gave good updates. Would use again and recommend to others.”

“Courtney was great! She sent me pictures every visit, checked in and out when she dropped in, took care of my plants, and when she dropped off my key, my cats ran to greet her, obviously having enjoyed the play time with her. I will definitely book Courtney again.”
