About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and have proudly raised my Mayflower (16 year old Boston terrier) since I was 12 years old. I see all dogs as our best friends and family and will care for your dogs with the same love and dedication that I care for mine. I am an incredibly active person, I spend my spare time backpacking and hiking and love to bring my dogs with me on my weekend camping trips. My dogs are my world, and I think all dogs deserve to be surrounded by loving people even if I’m just a dog sitter! I can’t wait to meet your pups and dogs and make more amazing dog friendships! Thank you for considering me and I hope to meet you soon I currently work as an intern from home and have lots of extra time for cuddles, playtime and long walks! I consider myself fluent in speaking dog after learning to communicate with my newly blind senior boston! PLEASE READ! My husband often joins me for dinner on overnights, he is also available as a back up walker in case of any emergencies. At my home we have a small back yard and our apartment is very dog friend, both of my dogs are good with dogs and up to date on their shots. When caring for your pets in my home or away I will schedule my work around your dog and work from home.

About: I have 6 years of dog walking and cat sitting experience. I'm used to taking care of dogs of all sizes as well as puppies and their various needs. I just moved to New Haven and I'm looking to start caring for pets here! I will treat your pet the way I would treat my own and would make sure to care for them in a responsible manner. As a pet owner myself, I know how important responsible care is. I have two cats, so I totally understand the concerns when hiring a new person to care for your loved pet! Due to my cats, I'm not able to accept boarders at the moment, other than one small-medium dog (who is fine with cats) for weekends only. I am a local graduate student so I apologize in advance if I can't make certain requested times. I can't wait to work with you and your lovely pets! I am a full-time graduate student but have a flexible schedule. I do not have a car so would only be able to service requests in New Haven. I'm well aware of environmental risks associated with dogs and cats. I'm overly cautious about windows expecially with cats. In addition, I'm responsible with the environment that either puppies or kittens occupy; to not leave food around or small objects/threads that they may mistakenly ingest.
14. Vanessa B.

17. Mary Quinn M.
“We could not have been happier with the care Calligan and Seaver received from Quinn. Highly communicative, timely, responsible, and clearly loved our pups as much as we do. Will definitely use again.”
18. Gabriela H.
“Gabriela has been wonderful at taking care of my little dog! My Yorkie adores her and she’s always someone I trust in caring for her.”
19. Ashlyn B.
“Ashlyn has been walking our little PeekaPoo for several years. She is punctual, very responsible and our little guy loves her to pieces. She always ensures to pickup the waste and dispose of it properly and checks that his harness and leash are put back in the right spot. His water is always filled when she is done and if he gets wet she dries him off. We highly recommend her to anyone who wants their pet cared for like they would themselves.”
20. Angela M.
“Angela is very professional and dogs LOVE her! She has taken care of all of our 4 legged family members over the years! I would highly recommend her!”
