“She was great and we were so grateful for her walk with our dogs! We booked on only a couple days notice and were still able to get a meet and greet! We recommend her!”
2. Carole N.
“Carole walked my dog for a full week and was such a lifesaver! She made sure to give my anxious rescue dog time to get comfortable with her and would even spend time with him after the walk. Very detailed oriented, trustworthy, and caring. Will book again for sure.”
3. Jen N.
“If I could leave Jen 6 stars, I would. She is not only communicative and easy to work with, she’s also so kind. I don’t know about you, but that is so appreciated when you’re stressed about getting some last-minute care for your pup. She’s also great with Jax and he loves her. Highly recommend contacting Jen for fur baby needs!”
4. Sarah H.

6. Mikayla & Justin W.
About: Hello! My name is Mikayla and I am a Yale graduate student who recently moved to New Haven with my husband. Since 2010, and on my own since 2017, I took care of my family yellow lab, Molly, until she passed at 13.5 years old. Through this, I have had experience with all stages of a dog’s life, with extensive experience in senior care. I am also available for boarding other pets as well (i.e. cats). Due to my flexible school schedule I am available to walk or board your pet at most times throughout the week. My husband, Justin, and I cannot wait to welcome your pet into our home and we promise to love and take of them while you are away. Feel free to reach out if you have any direct questions. Looking forward to caring for your pet!! 😊 I am a graduate nursing student with a flexible schedule where I only go into school or clinicals 2x a week. I am also able to come back throughout the day during those times. Lastly, my husband works from home so someone is always there to care for your pet. I have a partially fenced yard for your dog to play and use the restroom. Our home is open and clean, making it easy for cats and dogs to move around. It is 2 floors, but the first floor is main living so senior pets do not need to access the stairs.
7. Katie L.
“Thanks for taking excellent care of our puppy today. We would be happy to have Katie walk Rosie again. Great communication with photos and updates through the app.”
8. Emmery K.
“Emmery is fantastic. She shows up on-time. She is super sweet and my dog loved her. She was so good with Nyx that the next day, when Nyx heard the knock on the door, she was already up and heading to the door in excitement! What more could you ask for?”
9. Sarah Y.
“Sarah has helped take care of our dog, Luka, for a number of years now. She is compassionate, reliable, and treats every animal like her own, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you're away. Sarah is an excellent communicator and is an exceptional choice for any dog-walking/ dog-sitting service!”
10. Jessica A.
“Jessica has both personal and professional experience with dogs. She has walked and cared for my own german shepherd and looks out for the pets wellbeing. She has even gotten out of her way to educating kids and giving tips on how to care for pets.”
11. Yiran L.
“Yiran is a very thoughtful, responsible and attentive caregiver to my dog Leo. My puppy is a 20-lbs mini golden doodle full of energy but also very affectionate. He loves staying with Yiran because she understands both his needs to have a full and active lifestyle, while also nurturing his loving nature. She takes him on long walks and brings him with her whenever possible, which helps with his separation anxiety. I never have to worry when I am on a trip and Leo is with Yiran because I know he feels as loved as he does at home!”
12. Diana A.
“I have had Diana look after my puppies for the past year and a half and I have got to say, I'm stunned! It's always so refreshing to see how excited my dogs get when she arrives to take them on walks or to the park. She always has a smile on her face and I would bet that the dogs love her just as much as she loves them. I can't imagine trusting my dogs with anyone else. She even brought them little Christmas toys and remembers their birthdays. Anyone who is lucky enough to have Diana look after their pets truly is lucky indeed! :)”
13. Tomomi Y.
“Tomomi is an animal lover and she is very kind and gentle too them all. She owns a dog herself and she takes very good care of her. She walks and plays with her often and makes sure she is well fed and hydrated. Tomomi is absolutely the loving pet caregiver anybody would wish for!”
14. Julia C.
“Julia was great walking and checking in on our dog Franklin. She was very thorough, prompt with responses, and sent a lot of updates with pictures. We’ll definitely use Julia again in the future.”
15. Azeen K.
“Azeen looked after our yellow lab while we were on vacation. She was terrific. She walked him twice a day, took him swimming, dried him off, and looked after his needs. She even helped with our pool, and turned on our AC on the final day. I highly recommend her, and would not hesitate to use her again. She's also very friendly”
16. pauline g.
“Goes above and beyond to take care of our German Shepherd puppy. There was an issue with the key. On us. She went above and beyond. Thank you!”
17. Mayella V.
“If you’re looking for someone who will provide not just excellent care, but also kindness and attention to your furry family members, Mayella is the perfect choice. She is reliable, responsible, and has a natural talent for making pets and their humans feel at ease. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
18. Anthony C.
“Anthony did such a great job when he took care of my dog, Zeus. I always get a little nervous when leaving my furry friend for a weekend but Anthony was always very response whenever I needed to check in on my pup. When it was time to pick Zeus up, he barely payed any mind to me and wanted to stay! He was taken great care of. I would 100% use Anthony’s services again. Whenever I need to leave town again, I know who I am going to reach out to!”
19. Jacalyn G.
“Thanks Jacalyn. Definitely I will continue to ask for your help.”
20. Shauna D.
“Shauna is one of the most loving and caring pet sitters I've met in a long time. I have a nutty hound dog that needs more than the normal amount of attention, and I know Shauna has been a great addition to my dog's day! There is nobody I trust more to watch, walk and stay with my pup than Shauna!”
