Dog Sitters in Stratford, CT

renee

I booked Renee for the second time and she is the best, she took great care of my kitties. They were so sad when she left!

Seela

Seela and Janna took fantastic care of our dog Cooper! They are very friendly and also left our house very clean. I would definitely recommend them!

Danica

Danica was great!! Very responsible and communicative. She sent us pictures and videos of our little corgi when we were gone. She is an animal lover and played ball and frisbee games with Bayley and took long walks. We felt at peace while we were away for the week knowing our little pup was taken care of. She left our home organized and clean. We feel very comfortable recommending her for others!!

John

John was on point with everything. He was dependable, communicated well with lots of kitty photos and advised of when he left the house and what had been done prior to his departure. His companion, Mary, left us some homemade biscotti. Yummy! I would use him again if it works out.

Elizabeth

Elizabeth was truly the best!!! Friendly, kind, and a pleasure to work with. She went on hikes daily with Finn, something we really valued as finn is a high energy hunting dog. She sent photos of their adventures and gave us a detailed daily updates. For being the first time we left him that long, we were at ease knowing they were both in her hands! She is obviously experienced in caring for animals and I would recommend her to anyone. Cherry on top - she took great care of our home. She took the time to clean the bedding and tidy things up so when we came home after a long day of traveling, we could crawl straight into bed! She goes above & beyond!

Sophie

Sophie is fantastic! I had a number of unexpected occurrences while she was here and she handled everything with aplomb! My house was spotless when I returned, my animals happy, and best of all, she had made my bed with clean sheets so I didn't have to do it at 3 am!!!! Sophie is perfect.

Kelly

Kelly, Greyson and their son were all excellent! guests in our home, provided great care and love to our dog and cat, and had wonderful communication throughout the process. Highly recommend them!

Sharlene

I am delighted to share with you that Sharlene is: • Positive • Trust worthy • Upbeat • Easy to get along with • Cheerful • And has a can-do attitude This woman delivers everything you could possibly want from a dog minder/house sitter and more. She came to our home in south of France to look after our very nervous rescue dog and won her over in no time at all. They were instant pals! Before the house sit we exchanged emails and Skyped for me to feel at ease, and during her stay she kept in touch and gave us updates to put our minds at rest. The morning we were due to leave, our transport to the airport let us down badly at the last second, and Sharlene stepped in (despite jet-lag!) and sorted the problem, making the whole thing stress-free. Everything was perfect on our return and most of all our tricky dog had been walked every day, and spoiled with cuddles from Sharlene and looked like she’d hardly noticed we’d gone! She is a truly lovely person who I can’t recommend highly enough. We would invite her again in a heartbeat. THANK YOU SHARLENE

Naomi

Naomi was incredibly easy to communicate with, always on time, and took great care of Maple. She even left me a wonderful hand drawing of Maple with a thank you note. You’d be lucky to have her as a sitter.

Gwen

Gwen was a top sitter and a very kind soul! Communicative, super friendly, clean, and easy to work with. I know my Sophie was very well cared for and appreciated the updates and pics along the way. She even asked my permission to organize some drawers and closets, she went above and beyond! Would host again :)

Daniela & Ricardo

Daniela and her husband were absolutely wonderful with my dog Domino.I could tell by the dogs demeanor that he was totally at ease with them even though I had never left him home with non family members before. What a relief to know that he was in good hands. My home was spotless when I returned home. I will definitely reach out to Dani the next time I travel.

Richard & Alessandra

Richard and Alessandra did a good job taking care of our cats while we were away for a week. We appreciated the care and felt our pets were in safe hands. The cats seemed well when we got back, and we’re thankful for their help.

Michael

Kris is FANTASTIC. The main coons loved her. She was very responsive providing daily updates. She left the house spotless. If you ever have the chance to get her do not hesitate. She is also a world class photographer taking some of the best pics of our darlings Miro and Luna. Kris is very much in demand with good reason. Kris is THE BEST!!

Kristi

Tom and Linda were great. They are dog owners so understood how to care for an older dog. They were great communicators and sent regular updates. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them watch my dog or house again.

Carolyn

Huan is a lovely caring individual who was a pleasure to meet and take care of my cat and house.
Everything was clean and tidy when I arrived home and Garfield was his usual self.
Huan made me some very tasty pork and shrimp dumplings which we ate for our evening meal.
Overall a very good experience 😌 👌

Rose Mary

Had a wonderful time at Rose Mary‘s! We met in person so she could show me everything which made me feel welcome. 
Lovely animals who kept me good company. I enjoyed keeping busy by caring for them. Still had plenty of time to get some work done (remotely).

Without a car I had to have groceries get delivered and couldn‘t explore the area/beach as I had wished to. Experience with horses is recommended.

The home and property are serene and beautiful! Would sit again anytime! Especially when needing a bit of quiet and nature 💗

David

David and Alice were lovely hosts and their cats Arthur and Bertie were an absolute pleasure to look after. Very easy going and well behaved. They like playing with their toys, work well within their routine and stay close to the house. We very much enjoyed their beautiful home and backyard. If you like cats, make sure to explore the area directly around their house for a little surprise.
