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. (Back in Connecticut as of 8/4/25) 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!

“Stephanie took great care of my beagle for three days while I had to travel out of state. He came home to me exhausted and happy after full days of playing and walks. Thanks Stephanie!”


“Briana was the best. Really respected and took time with my dog and meeting her dogs. My dog can sometimes be testy with certain dogs and needs to be introduced slowly and responsibly. Billie had so much fun and came home super tired. Briana was super communicative all throughout.”


“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.”


“This was my first time using Rover and Cheyanne made everything really easy! From the meet and greet to the actual first day of day care, Cheyanne answered messages quickly, was so kind, and was great with our pup.”


“Anthony and Monique are the absolute best! Cooper had a great time in their home. He especially had fun spending time with Lupie! I really appreciated the photos and the updates. Will definitely be back!”


“Zuly and her family took wonderful care of my poodle, Babette. She is a great communicator, and understands the needs of dogs from years of experience. Her home was neat, immaculate, and felt very welcoming. I look forward to using her services in the future!”


“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: 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.

“Eileen was so generous as to let me drop pup off at an unforgiving 7 AM (!). Sent several adorable pics, including of her kids making sure pup got her belly rubs in for the day. Thanks as always, Eileen.”


“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”


“Eliana and her fiancé made our time away so enjoyable! We recieved so many cute photos and details, we felt 100% confident we left our dog in good hands. I definitely recommend Eliana for your dog care needs.”


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!
