Cat Sitting in Yantic

“Kourtney did a great job with my 4 cats and made sure their needs were met during our vacation. She was very good with communication and sending photos. I would recommend her.”

“My husband and I were very nervous about going away and leaving our cats who we have never been away from. Sadie, our 17-year old, in particular. She requires daily meds and is so set in her ways and is so use to lots of love and affection. Well, our fears were calmed with Charlene's excellent care. Her Rover Reports and added pictures soon became the highlight of our day, allowing us peace of mind to enjoy a long over due vacation. We were happy that Sadie found a new friend and that she responded well to Charlene's affections and medicine application. We would absolutely recommend Charlene for you pet care needs. She went above and beyond for us and we couldn't be happier with her service.”

About: Hello! I am Becky, I'm an Eastern Connecticut local whose been watching my friends, family, and acquaintances dogs and cats for 10+ years. I have given care to elderly dogs who had special needs and ran with young pups who need the exercise! I'd love to learn what you're looking for and see if I am the pup sitter for you. I do all the services provided on this website. I have two cats who love to meet new animals! Message me to learn more and book a meet and greet! I only work 1st shift Wed.-Fri. at my day job, so I have lots of time to give your fur babies attention! Lets set up a meet and greet and we can talk about what your pets needs are! If I am pet sitting in your home your fur baby will get lots of attention because of my limited work schedule. I'll take your dog(s) for walks daily. Dogs and other pets will get plenty of play time! I can cater to whatever needs your pet has! If you are boarding your dog(s) at my home I live on a quiet street great for walking dogs. I have two friendly cats at my house and a few roommate who can give extra attention while I'm at work during the day Wed.-Fri. Your pets will rarely be alone!

“We booked Olivia for daily drop in visits for our two cats while we were on vacation. One of our cats has diabetes and she was able to take glucose readings and provide him his daily insulin shots. We are incredibly thankful Olivia was able to add visits when our diabetic cat needed additional insulin shots. She sent pictures and videos daily and our cats loved her :) highly recommend!!”

About: Animals have held a special place in my heart my whole life. I started volunteering at my local animal shelter when I was 14, working my way up to weekend manager. I also worked as veterinary technician for many years and volunteered in the wildlife clinic. During those years, I pet sat for many clients and was happy to help ease people’s minds while they were away. Now I work with humans in medicine and my (human) children are teenagers. In my home, we have 3 dogs, 2 geckos, a tarantula and a ball python. The only reason we don’t have cats is a family member has severe allergies. I have experience with giving medication, positive reinforcement training, dealing with shy and anxious personalities and an expert snuggler. Please reach out with any questions, I look forward to chatting with you! I work full time at a doctors office. I am available from 5pm- 8am. I can visit during my lunch hour on a case by case basis. My weekends are open :) My own home is fenced in but enjoy going for walks too. If a dog requires walks daily, that’s more than okay with me :)

About: I've had cats since I was about 4 years old, and trained my own service dog (adopted as a senior from a pound) from 2016-2023, when she sadly passed. I've taken care of a range of pets belonging to family, friends, and family's friends and coworkers. I can handle pets of all ages, from kittens/puppies to senior animals, as well as working on training and house-breaking. I'm currently only working part-time with very few hours, so pet care is honestly how I'd like to spend my spare time and make my income. I'm very focused on the details of individual pet's care. I always make sure I understand the feeding schedules and amounts, how often the animals need to go outside, whether they can be off-leash in a fenced in area or if they need to be on an outside line or on a leash, whether or not cats go on walks, and I'm very careful to not leave human food around for them to get into. I always ask as many questions as possible to make sure I provide the best care for the pets I'm looking after.

“Nikki did a great time. She was on-time every day. Feed the cats, gave them their treats and cleaned the litter box. She responded to all our chats very promptly and gave us confidence that the cats were doing well.”

Martin H.

“Jocelyn was great! She was as able to come to our house last minute and gave our pups and cat lots of play and attention. I will definitely contact her again.”

Laura P.

“I can’t be more delighted to have Serena care for my girls. When I met up with Serena, she had a kind, soft demeanor with excellent communication skills. During her time, she bonded with my anxious kitty to the point kitty would follow Serena around the house and would wait by the door as she came back with the mail/trash. I am so appreciative of Serena and will ask for her to come back again.”

Jeanine C.

“Excellent caretaker for my cats! They were very happy with the attention and play time Emily gave them as well as the feeding and litter box cleaning that goes along with having cats. Would definitely use her again!”

“Kate was absolutely amazing! We were so worried about our special needs cat while we were out of town but both of our cats and dog loved her!! She was able to get out very shy cat to eat his medicine and play with her in such a short amount of time. We will definitely be using Kate in the future when we’re out of town!”

“Natalie was an awesome pet sitter for our two cats! She made such a great connection with them and made sure they were well fed and played with. She takes the best photos of your fur babies and is always in contact so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands! We will definitely be using her again when we go away!”

About: I have a big heart when it comes to seniors, but I love them all from pups to seniors. I am loving, compassionate and gentle. I treat all pets as if they were my own. I also do a little grooming; bathe, nails, ears & teeth! I make pet care my #1 priority, whereas this is my primary job. I can and will make your fur baby my #1 priority when it comes to taking care of them. I am offering walks and check-ins for my services. When taking you dog for a walk, I will use the dogs personal leash & collar or harness & leash with a slip lead as well. Double the safety.

“Anna H. and Gilbert are delightful hosts for my two tabbys, Sunny and Max. The room where the stayed was warm, clean, had plenty of scratch posts & toys. Max could watch the birds all day from the window. Anny kindly sent me two Messenger pics of my cats hanging out & even described their activity level, eating habits and general disposition in the "cat room". She handed all the equipment back clean and organized. I will definitely hire Anna to board mt cats. Their farm is lovely and many animals seems happy and well fed. I thank them both for taking my cats on short notice. Wonderful people!!!”

“Tina was a fabulous cat sitter! We have a kitty who doesn't get along with dogs and tries to elope all the time. Tina did a great job keeping him inside and did not take on any dogs to watch while he was there. She constantly updated me with pictures and texts and treated our Oscar like he was her own. ❤️”

“I highly recommend Dina to care for your loving animals. She is responsive and easy to communicate with. She even sent pictures. It's not often that you find someone that makes you feel at ease knowing your animals are cared for and Dina did just that. Moving forward she is my preferred pet sitter!!!”

Erica H.

“Nicole is a wonderful sitter! She watched my cat Otis for me semi last minute on a holiday weekend. He is a shy kitty but he was comfortable with her immediately. She was on time, communicative, and super sweet. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been caring for animals for over 10 years and feel a genuine connection with them that goes beyond just following instructions. I'm calm, patient, and observant — qualities that animals respond to quickly, especially in pets that are anxious, shy, or used to a specific routine. What makes my care genuinely different is my background: I hold a biology degree and have medical school training, which means I'm not just comfortable with medications and special needs — I actually understand the underlying conditions. I know what to watch for, how to communicate clearly with your vet if something comes up, and how to stay calm under pressure. I have direct experience with: Administering oral, topical, and injected medications on schedule. Caring for senior pets and those with chronic conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, or kidney disease. Following detailed feeding protocols, restricted diets, and post-surgical care routines. Monitoring subtle behavioral and physical changes that can signal a health issue early. Handling anxious, reactive, or high-needs animals with calm, consistent energy. Beyond medical care, my hands-on animal experience spans a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, gerbils, horses and farm animals. I also spent time assisting on an organic farm in Japan where regular garden care was part of everyday life. I ran an Airbnb for several years as well, which taught me how to care for someone's home with the same respect I'd give my own — something that matters a lot in house sitting situations. I have verified 5-star reviews on TrustedHouseSitters from real pet owners, which reflects the level of care and communication I bring to every booking. On Rover I'm building my paid care profile and bringing that same standard with me. I work remotely as a Medical Qigong Therapist, which means my schedule is genuinely flexible and I'm home throughout the day — not popping in between a job and other commitments. Pet care fits naturally and completely into my daily routine. I can closely follow your pet's existing schedule for feeding, walks, medications, and rest without interruption. Your pets won't be left alone for long stretches, and I adapt to what they need rather than fitting them around a fixed schedule. I'm currently slow-traveling across the United States and available for house sitting and drop-in care in cities along my route. I typically stay in each location for days to weeks at a time, which makes me well suited to longer bookings. Message me to check if I'll be in your area — I'm happy to discuss timing and logistics. Safety and consistency are at the center of how I work. In a client's home I follow all instructions carefully — routines, feeding schedules, medications, restricted areas, and any behavioral notes you share. I treat your home as my own: tidy, secure, and respected throughout the stay. My medical background means I'm genuinely prepared for situations that would stress out most sitters. If a pet shows signs of distress, a change in behavior, or a medical concern, I know how to assess the situation calmly, respond appropriately, and contact you and your vet with clear, accurate information rather than panic. I provide regular photo and video updates throughout every stay so you're never left wondering. I'm responsive to messages and believe in over-communicating rather than under — especially for first-time clients who don't yet know my style. For pets that are anxious about new people, I take introductions slowly and follow the animal's lead rather than pushing for immediate interaction. Most animals settle quickly with calm, predictable energy.

“Rebecca did a wonderful job! Always thoughtful in her daily text updates; great photos letting us see how our pets were doing; and always timely/complete in her work. You can tell that she genuinely cares. We were 100% satisfied and highly recommend her!”
