We’ve transformed pet care
into owner care

TL;DR: It didn’t happen overnight.

Olivia Connolly has loved animals since she was six—the age she convinced her mom to let her ride a pony. But it wasn’t until she began caring for animals in a professional setting that she noticed major red flags in the pet care industry.

Between her personal experience fostering hospice cats and her part-time job working as a veterinary assistant, Olivia understood the emotional toll of caring for a sick pet first-hand. She also knew that pet owners who need a day off often have to pay more for pet care, including higher rates for pet sitters.

That didn’t seem right to Olivia.

Then, there were the big-name dog training companies. After a year of working as a certified trainer at a well-known company in Connecticut, Olivia watched her colleagues intentionally leave customers in the dark about techniques that modify dogs’ behaviors. When the training sessions stopped and the dogs inevitably returned to their aggressive behavior, frustrated customers, unsure of how to intervene, had no choice but to return for more sessions.

Fed-up with other companies’ shady tactics and over-priced necessities, Olivia invested her two decades of pet care experience into starting Sit Pretty, a pet care business that puts pet owners’ needs first.

Olivia has helped hundreds of pet owners in Westchester and Fairfield counties sit pretty by offering them the ultimate treat: high-quality, affordable pet services and training sessions they can rely on.

We never charge higher rates for special needs animals, and we always spill the juicy secrets other dog trainers keep hidden on their clipboards, close to their chests.

If we’re flipping an entire industry up-side down, we may as well have a little fun in the process.
