About: Moved from Miami to Connecticut and starting to be open for pet sitting :). Note: Although our current home base is New Haven, we will be in Miami mid-May 2025 through early August 2025. ABOUT US: We have been taking care of a variety of pets over 20 years with our own pets or taking care of others. We have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, to even fish and turtles! We have the most experience with dogs and cats, but we are open to take care of other fuzzy, feathery or scaly friends! BILINGUAL: Hablamos Español. ❤️ OUR HOME: We live in the 2nd floor of an apartment complex. Our community is safe to walk around :). FAMILY DOG: We have a small dog (Natsu: Neutered, 9 lb, Papillon) who is good with other dogs/cats. We usually keep a dog fence between the living room and bedroom for a few days/visits as they get to know each other. For house sitting, our pup typically has to come with us. WHAT WE DO: I am a props master/scenic designer/technician and Claudia works from home as an eligibility specialist. As long as it our pup Natsu can come with us and there is internet connection then Claudia can give your pets attention and care all day with the occasional errand run/gym, treating them like our own. We take pride in our customer service, attention to detail, expectations for your pets, and your home as well. We don't mind taking care of plants if needed :). We are also open to travel long distances and out of state! PET CARE: We take care of the pets inside our home. We have a day bed that we change out the sheets any time we have a pet over so they have a comfortable place to rest, we enjoy walking frequently around our safe neighborhood. We clean dogs paws any time we go for a walk. We also use pet friendly cleaning products only. With permission, we have dog seatbelts for safety to take on short trips to the park or run errands. We can also continue with any training for the pet as long as details are given. We can provide oral medications as needed. We have not had experience with injectables but we are not opposed to learning how and there is two of us to help!

“Max had a great first day of daycare with Cheyanne and her pups. Leading up to this stay, Cheyanne was very friendly, quick to respond, answered all my questions, and seemed very knowledgeable. She sent some cute photos, and Max came home happy and relaxed. We will definitely book again!”


“Anthony and his wife were a delight! This I was Apollo’s first time being left with other pups and I was nervous about how’d he react, but Anthony sent me updates and he did very well with the others! There were photos every 2 hours or so, so that was great. We plan on coming back :)”


“My fur baby requires a great deal of attention due to some health challenges. This makes me very careful about who cares for him. I am so Blessed to have Liza taking care of my lil guy. I would highly recommend her to people that need puppy ? care”


“Zuleima accepted our request last minute and was very flexible and communicative, also through pictures! Virgola seemed very happy of her time there and loved playing with her kids—she didn’t want to leave. I’ll definitely consider booking again. Thanks!”



“I am incredibly grateful to Mikayla and Justin for being so patient and caring for my senior dog Leyla. Thank you so much!”


“Sabina was awesome. Our plans when visiting New Haven changed several times and Sabina was very accommodating to meet our needs. Plus, Sam is normally quite shy around new people but warmed quickly to Sabina.”


“Eileen and her husband are AWESOME- I don't know where to begin! My puppy stayed with her 5 days a week for 2 months and it was her second home, hands down. I have a busy work schedule and they worked with me early mornings and late evenings when my schedule was hectic. She even stayed late nights when I was out with friends! Shay was still young when I got her and she was very well socialized at Eileen's house with her dog Kujo, the cats and other visitors. Shay gets separation anxiety when she's with my other friends and I'm not around but she doesn't want to leave Eileen's when I pick her up! I definitely recommend these guys and will be using their services in the future”


“Thank you for always being amazing”


“Bianka is a true dog lover and took care of my pup like her own. He seemed so comfortable, and the updates were much appreciated. I highly recommend Bianka and her family for a reliable pet sitter!”


About: Hi! Ive been pet sitting since I was 10 years old. Walking dogs, staying over night, or driving to the groomers, I'm open to anything! I grew up with both dogs and cats. I am originally from Bloomfield Hills, MI. I currently have a one year old mixed golden retriever at my house back home. We rescued him from the humane society last May. When I am home I spend lots of time with him! I am a full time student teacher, my hours are typically 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM. I am available outside of that. I am very flexible and can often do short notice jobs. I will follow all instructions given to me by the owner to ensure they and their doggo are comfortable with the care I am providing. On walks, the dog will remain on leash unless instructed by the owner otherwise.

“Rachel did an amazing job caring for our Boston Terrier in her home for the day while we went to Busch Gardens. She was very quick to communicate with us before, during and after his stay. You could tell she loves dogs and wants to do whatever makes them happy. In our dog’s case that was fetch and snuggle. We highly recommend Rachel if you are looking for a loving person to care for your furry friend.”


About: I work primarily from home throughout the week. This gives me the time needed to care for anyone's pet to ensure a safe, fun environment. I dog sat for 2 years prior to my new full time role. I have fostered dogs and now I have recently adopted my own. I love dogs and look to care for anyone's pet when you need it most. Please reach out to set up a meet and greet so I can be introduced to your family member and also visit my place to see if it is a suitable temporary environment for your pet. Thanks! Look forward to hearing from you. I am home most of the time and since I have a dog of my own, any pet will fit seamlessly into his routine as well. I'm sure my dog would love to make new friends as well! I live in a dog friendly community, dog park nearby, have a fenced courtyard, riverwalk in walking distance as well. I take my dog for at least one long walk (about an hour) per day and two other times aside from that. I make sure he doesn't eat any food scraps, anything from ground outside that could be harmful either. Smoke free and alcohol free home. Can also ensure any diet or food allergies are monitored appropriately.

“Ski was great & Gus loved his time with him”


About: Hi! My name is Jasie. I am working full-time in healthcare and from home (which gives me lots of flexibility)! Animals bring me so much joy and I love meeting new ones anywhere I go. I am coming back from a break from the app, as I had some years to spend with my roommate’s two lovely cats but they’ve now moved away and I’d love to make some new neighborhood friends! Right now I will focus my business on caring for cats. I have experience with special needs dogs and cats (meds, extra food prep). When you want to spend some time away from home and don’t want to leave your animals alone or even just want some time to yourself, I would love to take care of them! I work from home so have plenty of flexibility to care on dogs and cats, especially dogs when potty time is more needed than usual. I can play with them as I take breaks from work as well! I can crate a dog or cat if needed. I am very careful and like to make sure your pets are in my view from wherever I am most of the time. If I have to leave, I’ll make sure they can’t find trouble!

Jasie J.
“Jasie is absolutely amazing with my lab and labradoodle ! Not only did she watch them while I was away on a trip but she would walk them while I was at work! She even went above and beyond and fed my cat while she was there! My dogs are absolutely obsessed with her and she treats them with such care! If I still lived in the state I would 100% hire her again!”
