Pet Sitting Built on Trust & Relationships
Professional In-Home Care from Team Members Who Know Your Pets
We believe the best pet sitting comes from caregivers who already have a relationship with your pets. That's why our model focuses on building trust through regular interactions—not just one-off bookings.
In-Home Care Throughout Fairfield County
Why Relationships Matter for Pet Sitting
Our business model is built differently than most pet care services, and here's why that benefits you and your pets
Salaried W-2 Employees, Not Contractors
Everyone caring for your pets is a salaried W-2 employee earning consistent, competitive wages—not a 1099 contractor looking for side gigs. This means stability, accountability, and caregivers who are invested in your pet's wellbeing long-term. Fair compensation isn't just good ethics; it's a security feature.
10+ Year Average Tenure
Our team members average over 10 years with the company. This isn't a revolving door of strangers—these are experienced professionals who've built careers in pet care.
Background Checked & Drug Tested
All employees undergo comprehensive background checks through BackgroundChecks.com and complete drug testing. We verify that the people entering your home meet the highest standards.
The Power of Consistency
When your dog walker becomes your pet sitter, your pets aren't meeting a stranger during your vacation. They're being cared for by someone who they know and trust. This familiar face reduces stress, maintains routines, and gives you true peace of mind when you travel.

Why This Builds Trust for When You Travel
When vacation time comes, your dog gets excited instead of anxious. They recognize their walker's car pulling up every day. They wag their tail at the familiar voice. They settle into your absence without stress because they're not meeting a stranger for pet sitting, they already know and trust this person from months of daily walks together.
This is why we built our business around recurring relationships. We don't use contractors for one-off gigs. We employ W-2 professionals who build careers with us, averaging over 10 years of tenure. When you book regular dog walking, you're not just exercising your pet. You're investing in a trusted relationship that transforms vacation time from a source of guilt into genuine relaxation.
Our membership model ensures continuity. While app-based competitors cycle through contractors, your dog sees the same familiar face day after day. That relationship is what makes the difference when you're 3,000 miles away and wondering if your pet is okay.
"I used to feel guilty every time I traveled. Now I know Bill has been walking Luna every day for two years. When I book overnight sitting, Luna actually gets excited to see him. That peace of mind changed everything about how I travel."

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book pet sitting?
For holidays and peak vacation times (summer, Thanksgiving, Christmas), we recommend booking 4-6 weeks in advance. For regular travel, 2-3 weeks notice is usually sufficient.
Will it be the same sitter for my entire trip?
Yes! We assign the same sitter for your entire trip whenever possible to provide consistency for your pets. You'll meet your sitter at the meet & greet before your trip.
Can you administer medication to my pet?
Yes, medication administration is available for an additional fee. Injectable medications (such as insulin) require special handling and carry a higher fee.
Please note: We can only safely administer medication to cooperative pets. If your pet becomes aggressive, hides, or (in the case of insulin) refuses to eat, we may not be able to complete medication administration during that visit for safety reasons. We'll always communicate with you if we encounter any difficulties.
Do you care for cats and dogs?
Absolutely! We care for dogs, cats, birds, small mammals, and other household pets. Our sitters are experienced with multi-pet households.
