“Katherine took great care of Lily while I was away for the weekend. She is a lovely person, and I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby in her capable hands. Thanks Katherine!”
“I highly recommend Emily to care for your dogs. She took wonderful care of my two dogs—one almost 15 yo super-senior, and one lively but somewhat fearful 3 yo. She shared pictures, provided status updates, and left my home tidy and clean after her 3 night stay with them. A warm and professional animal care provider!”
“Isabel was a great sitter! My dog seemed very happy, and Isabel gave daily updates. It was our first time dog sitting, and it went well—thanks, Isabel!”

About: Hi there! My name is Jamie, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of professional dog walking experience. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs a good workout or a senior dog who enjoys a slow, gentle stroll, I tailor each walk to fit your pet’s unique needs. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—building strong bonds through trust, patience, and lots of tail wags. Safety, reliability, and plenty of playtime are my top priorities, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether you’re heading to work, going on a trip, or just need an extra hand, I’d love to be your go-to pet care partner. Let’s make your dog’s day a little brighter—one walk at a time! I work part time as a server in New Haven and I have a flexible schedule to meet you and your pet’s needs. Please feel free to reach out! When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and maintaining the pet’s normal routine. I always take the time to learn each pet’s specific needs—whether that means feeding schedules, medication, exercise, or just how they like to relax. For dogs, I make sure they get the physical activity and attention they need with regular walks, playtime, and affection. I also keep a close eye on their behavior to ensure they’re comfortable while you’re away. For cats, I’m mindful of their space and personality. I clean litter boxes daily, keep feeding areas tidy, and offer gentle play or quiet companionship depending on their preferences. I always respect your home, follow your instructions closely, and provide updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands.
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our dog and extremely communicative throughout all of her visits. We will definitely be using her services again in the future and can’t recommend her enough.”
“Rachel watched our 2 dogs and home for a week. We were very happy on our return. Our puppies were well cared for and she left our house very clean. We'll definitely use her again!”
About: I have about 10 years of experiences taking care of cats, dogs, and small animals. I have experience bonding/introducing new pets in the home, having taken a boot camp a few years ago and doing it multiple times with rabbits, cats (one success, one not), and a dog/cat combo. I've also leash trained my own dog, parents dog and a friends dog. I can also work on basic commands. Im comfortable brushing teeth, bathing and administering non-needle medicines. The prices on the flyer are for payments off Rover (venmo/zelle/cash app), as Rover takes 20% the prices on here are higher, whichever you're most comfortable with is fine with me! Pet care is currently my only job. Even when I have a part-time job, my schedule is very flexible and open to various appointments each day. I do not let animals off leash when outside unless in a fenced in yard/park. At my own home, I live next to a park and take walks at least 3x a day with your pup.
“Kellie was so wonderful with our dog Russell. We were abroad for 2 weeks and she sent us pictures and updated his activities for us to share. He loves her and so do we! She also took great care of the house and we found everything in tip top order. I can not recommend her more highly!! And we will hire her again to watch Russell. Thank you Kellie XXXXOOO”
“Katelyn took great care of our pets (dog and 2 cats) and our house when we went away. She came to our house to meet them and us before our trip, sent us photos while we were away, and left our house very clean. We would definitely use her again!”
“Maverick was happy and well cared for. Mai did an excellent job caretaking for him. Maverick doesn’t warm up to new well and he liked her at first meet.”

“Nancy took such great care of our two pups and our house. We were in regular contact with her while we were gone and she sent us several "pupdates" to let us know Sophie and Loki were happy. We'll definitely be rebooking her for future vacations and will recommend her highly to our friends who are looking for a dog sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m Lex, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for furry friends. Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats—and helping with my mom’s pet sitting business in Pennsylvania—I’ve always felt right at home with pets of all kinds. From neighborhood pups to my own snuggly cat, I know just how much love, patience, and attention animals need when their humans are away. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or just some cozy company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone. Think of me as your pet’s second-best friend (after you, of course!). Let’s give your pet the care they deserve—because they’re family. I’m currently a grad student so my time is flexible. I love spending time with animals and so this will be a fun opportunity. I’m also great at time management and a morning bird, so happy to tailor my schedule for each pets needs. Depending on the pet is how I tailor my services. Some animals need more attention and care with lots of belly rubs and pets. Others need more attention and play time. While others just need some cuddling. Depending on what type of animal you have, I can modify around that. My cat is very spoiled in my house and he has full reign of his kingdom as he’d say.
“Teddy stayed with Wilkie for a week and took fabulous care of him! They sent daily photos and updates and Wilkie was happy and healthy when I returned. They took great care of my place too. A great pet-sitting experience!”
