Just some super good boys enjoying the sun before the storms! I hope all of your weather-averse babies are calm and cozy and getting some extra treats š¦“
Home for your pet, for when you're not I'm a vet tech taking a break from clinical work.

With over 20 years experience - personal, professional, academic, and everywhere in between, I've cared for a variety of animals in a variety of settings, with a variety of needs. I continue to develop and polish my knowledge and skills, to ensure that your pet is safe, happy, and healthy while you're gone. Whether you're going on a much-needed vacation, or just working a really long day, your cat
/dog/chicken/goat/horse/whatever is in good hands with me! I primarily serve Bethel, CT and the surrounding areas, but am happy to travel further for round-the-clock sitting or special events! Reach out to schedule a free meet and greet, to see if my services are right for you and your furry family members.

How precious is Precious?
When your housesit comes with an accoutant š Dan the man being ever so helpful while I do my taxes.
An extra hour of daylight means an extra hour of playing outside! These guys are certainly going to enjoy it.
Artemis sure knows how to enjoy a Sunday!
Your pets are not only in my hands, theyāre in my heart. And often my lap! Even when theyāre bigger than me.
Who else has dogs enjoying the snow day? My girls are having a blast bouncing around and tearing up the play yard!

Remember, no matter how cute your pets are or how soulful their begging eyes are, many of our holiday treats are dangerous for our furry friends! Show your love by keeping them safe.

Itās been an absolutely WILD few months since I last posted, as my buddy Biscuit can attest to! With how busy I have been with cats, dogs, pigs, bunnies, goats, llamas, sheep, chickens, and more, I havenāt had the mental bandwidth to keep up with blogging and social media. I promise I am going to try my best to get back to posting regularly!
I hope everyone has had a wonderful end to 2023, and hereās looking at a new year full of love and belly rubs!
Sleepy and beat up, but Desi is home! Still a long way to go before heās recovered but from such a bleak prognosis just two days ago, to where he is now is absolutely astonishing.
Thank you all for the good vibes and well wishes, and so many thanks to for saving our boy! Dr Galano, Dr Flint, Anna, and everyone else whose name I regrettably missed in all the turmoil - you are true heroes and this house cannot express our gratitude enough.
CW: wildlife attack.
This is one of my own pets. Desi got outside yesterday and was attacked by something (thinking a bird of prey, but canāt be sure). I found him unresponsive and bleeding from the neck. Thankfully we were able to get him to Shoreline alive. Their INCREDIBLE team has gotten him stable, but as it stands now, Desi has function in only one limb. For a young, strong, healthy cat, this is heartbreaking. Heās only 4 years old.
We have no idea whatās going to happen yet, but whatever it is, the little dude has a long painful road ahead of him.
I ask for your patience and understanding over the next few days. My visit updates will likely be less entertaining than usual, but rest assured your pets will still receive their top-tier care and love.
Also please consider insuring your pets if you havenāt already! Their survival can become insanely expensive in a flash, and without Trupanion coverage, Desi wouldnāt have had a chance.
Sweet Ollie the poly!
Polydactyly is a genetic mutation resulting in extra toes. It is generally harmless (and adorable), and in some cases can even be beneficial! Just make sure that you donāt miss anything during nail trims - it can be hard to find all of them!
Remember my project dog, Simone? Weāve been having a great time together!
Feeling right at home with these guys! Did you know that in addition to cats and dogs, I love working with farm animals? Early mornings in the barn, crisp air, the smell of livestock, and throwing haybales is in my blood. I come from a long line of dairy farmers!
It may not be Tuesday, but itās never a bad time for puppy tongues!
Quick photo dump from the last few (hectic) days! Greta, Snicklefritz, Basil, Phoebe, Harper, Juicy, Griff/Tess, and Neil! Honorable mention to Cinnamon, Carmine, Buster, Tuck, Ptolemy, Charlie, and Otis š»

House Sitting: Guinea pig edition!
I finished the sit with all those fluff monsters, and went straight to another sit with these cuties! Jaāam, Belial, and Leah are some pretty cool kids.
Living with the best security system for the next week! Being away from home is always hard, but being accepted into a pack like this makes it fun.
Look at these good girls sitting pretty for their picture! Fae and Kelpie are Canine Good Citizens and it shows.
My sweet lil dude Oliver was freaked out by the storms, so he got an extra visit today with lots of snuggles!
Itās been a busy couple of weeks! New friends, old friends, big changes, and lots of puppy snuggles. Iām going to try to get back to posting regularly, so please bear with me!
Itās been a dog-centric kind of June but hereās some wonderful kitties! Snowflake and Pip, two affectionately murderous beauties š»
New friend of the day: Scout! This beauty is about a year and a half old, incredibly smart and responsive, and gets to spend her days running around on a horse farm. Weāre going to have a lot of fun together with lots of playdates coming soon!
Look at this precious princess! My heart canāt take how stinkinā cute she is.

Your pets are my priority, but if I find a backpack vacuum, I WILL have a dorky moment. Especially if you have heavy shedders! #petsitting #ghostbusters #mosshillpetcare #bethelct #fairfieldcounty #doglife
Spot the difference! The changes in Simoneās body language arenāt huge but theyāre there and they mean a lot! Her eyes are softer, her body is more relaxed. We still have a long way to go together, but weāve come pretty far and achieved the basic version of what we wanted!

Laugh of the day, featuring Phoebe! She was mad at my skull candle, while Nyx was dead asleep on the couch next to me. Does your dog take up issue with any random objects? #funnydogs #petsitter #bethelct #fairfieldcounty #rescuedog #instagood #adoptdontshop #dogwalker #mosshillpetcare
Itās tick season, and itās a nasty one! Protect your furbabies (and yourself!) by getting them before they bite. I use a combination of Nexgard year round, and a sticky roller after every outdoor excursion (yes, even just around the yard). Itās also a great way to keep an eye on your dogās entire body, giving you a chance to find anything unusual early! This one is from @acehardware and each sheet holds up to 2-3 full body rolls on my girl. Iād never be able to see a tick on her, so the right tools make all the difference in preventing Lyme and other tick-borne diseases! #pettips #protectyourpet #connecticutproblems #bethelct #fairfieldcountyct #dogsofinstagram #rescuedog #adoptdontshop #petsitter #roversitter #lymedisease #doglover #dogwalking #petcare #petservices #reddingct

So grateful to these amazing people for trusting their furbabies to me! My priority is building relationships with clients and their pets, so they can go out of town, work doubles, or take that vacation feeling confident in Fido and Fluffyās care. #petcareservices #bethelct #newtownct #brookfieldct #eastonct #westonct #danburyct #reddingct #ridgefieldct #fairfieldcounty #supportsmallbusiness #adoptdontshop #vettech #supportlocal
