Top rated Hamden doggy day care sitters


“I had to find a last minute sitter, and Howard was an absolute life-saver! Within an hour of sending him the first message, I was dropping my puppy off at his house. He communicated regularly with me throughout the day, kept her active, and was very receptive to her particular needs. Overall, an excellent experience. Would recommend highly!”

“Bruce is wonderful! I’m a first-time fur parent of a beautiful puppy and was nervous about having a sitter so soon after purchasing my fur baby. But Bruce was so kind and loving and accommodating to our Bear! We are so grateful for his care and will use Bruce for any pet-sitting needs we have. If you can get Bruce to take care of your fur baby - don’t hesitate!”


“Malik was quick with responding to all my questions which was very helpful. I was able to secure him as a sitting quickly! He was wonderful with my dog Winter and I would definitely recommend him! Thanks Malik!”


“Jieun took good care of our dog and she sent us a lot of pictures and videos to keep us updated. Her dog is very friendly and our dog liked her house a lot!”


“Noemi and her family took great care of my dog while I was away! She was very accommodating and flexible. She followed my dogs schedule and routine with no problems! She also sent me the cutest pup updates! So many good pictures and videos of my dog enjoying his time at her home! My dog was very happy and excited to go back everyday! So happy we found a great attentive loving family to send my pup to while I’m away! I highly recommend Noemi and her family!”


“Mark took great care of my dogs! He and his family are friendly and kind - they clearly love dogs and have the patience and skill to care for them.”


“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!”


“Max seemed to have a great first day of daycare at Mariana's. He came come happy and tired. Mariana sent lots of pictures and communicated promptly throughout the entire booking process. Will definitely book again!”


“What a great way to spend a day! My pup clearly had the best time with Cheyenne and her dogs (as evidenced by the photos), and it was a great peace of mind to know she was happy and well taken-care-of.”


“Anthony and Monique did a wonderful job with our eight-week old puppy! He is too young to be left alone and we were definitely scared to leave him with someone we’ve never met, but after the meet & greet a few days prior-we felt a lot better! They both have been doing this for years and are extremely knowledgeable. I knew they knew what they were doing and I also knew my dog needed to socialize with the world. This was Arlo’s first time being away from us after being separated from his own parents & littermates just a few days before! Less than five minutes after dropping him off I was receiving video and picture updates, which was super awesome! I could easily see him in the videos enjoying himself and his new friend Lupie (their dog, who is super friendly, and very respectful), which Arlo also met during our meet & greet! There were no surprises.. other than the fact that the last two pictures they sent me, were the most professional, perfect portraits of our new pup 🐶!! I trust them completely & we already have our next doggydaycare scheduled! Peace of mind: they required his health records which just proves they are responsible and don’t just allow any dog to prance through their doors.. I know my puppy won’t be coming home sick 🤍🤍🤍”


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!

“Alexandra was very sweet to my puppy. She also knew that both of us (Zelda and I) were anxious about the daycare, and she took so many pictures and movies to show how my little dog was doing. I look forward to have Zelda stay with her again in the future. ?”


“My dog seemed to have the best time and was treated perfectly!”


“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.”


About: I currently have a dog, so I am well aware of how to take care of them. I have also had cats in the past, and have been walking dogs through various apps for over 5 years. I am currently on sabbatical, so am home all day! Schedule is flexible, I take my own dog on 3 40 minute walks a day and to a field to play fetch at least once. Hiking is usually once or twice a week. I choose to care for other people's pets like they are my own, I absolutely love animals and don't see it as a chore but something I enjoy!

“Vanessa was a great sitter for our dog Buttercup! We received many pictures while we were away which was very comforting. Even though Buttercup got sick during her stay, Vanessa took great care of her. Thank you Vanessa!”



About: About this sitter: Hi there! I am a local college student and dog sitting is something I have been doing since I was 16. The saying goes, "do what you love and you will never have to work a day in your life." This is especially true for my time spent pet sitting. It is one of my favorite things in life! Making sure your pet is happy and comfortable and your home is well taken care of while you are away so you can relax and enjoy your time away brings such joy to my heart. I have many reviews and testimonials written by wonderful friends, family, and of course, my lovely clients! Please take a look at those to get a better idea, and if you have any questions, I'm a quick message away! My Life With Animals I've had dogs as far as I can remember. In my first memory, I am 4 years old, and my dad had just brought home our German Shepherd, Mandy Girl! I was so excited, she was my first best friend. Back home in Connecticut are Kipper and Bradley, the two loves of my life. They are grumpy seniors now, and I wouldn't change a thing! My experience administering medication I am entirely comfortable administering medication. Bradley's eyes required daily drops, he needed heart meds as well, which I was able to administer with ease. I have watched pets who were post surgery requiring special attention and was able to provide well for them and their comfort. Whatever your needs are, simply communicate with me and we will make it all happen!

About: I grew up with pets in Sri Lanka, inheriting a deep love and care for animals from my family. I trained our dog Julius from 4 months old; he’s now known as the ‘happy dog’ in our apartment complex. My artistic background has taught me patience and empathy, ensuring your pet feels at home and loved. Julius, who is extremely friendly, will help your furry friend feel welcomed and comfortable in our home. I work from home as an artist and designer, collaborating remotely with my team in Sri Lanka. This flexibility allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs throughout the day, ensuring they receive ample care and quality time. At my apartment, your pet will have plenty of room to roam, including a spacious attic and access to a nearby dog park for playtime and walks. I can set up a crate if needed to keep them comfy. They’ll feel right at home!

“Sara did a great job caring for blue during the day while I was at work. Appreciated that she sent updates. Blue seemed to have a great time!”


About: I have been a pet owner for roughly 20 years. Small dogs have always been a part of our family but I love gentle giants just as much! My home is filled with love and round the clock care as we work from home every day. I have experience training and caring for puppies, as young as 12 weeks old. My main priority is the health and safety of your pup! I work from home everyday of the week and am home most weekends. Your pup will be included in our daily walks and play time. I have a fenced yard and designated potty areas as well. My dog Bumi will be happy to play and share his space, but your dog can also be crated if needed.

Miranda N.
“I have known Miranda for quite sometime and overall the one aspect of her that strikes me the most is her endless amount of compassion for animals in general. I have witnessed firsthand her thorough and thoughtful care-taking for both the animals she's owned and the ones looked after for. She treats them each with love and responds swiftly to issues with expert diligence, I have personally witnessed this and I am always impressed by how quickly she responds and how successful she is in watching over animals, to anyone else it seems absolutely effortless. Big or small, she works well with them all. In her time she has owned a total of 6 animals and she always puts their needs above her own. Her genuine compassion for animals speaks through her hard work and determination to take care of them, groom them, make sure they are fed and treated incredibly well. She takes each animal she cares for as if it were her own. Each new animal that she looks after stays with her in her heart like a new friend for life. She keeps excellent track in her mind of each dogs individual needs and qwerks. Like a self sustaining one woman business. Well spoken, kind, and a loving soul. Miranda is absolutely the most hardworking, dedicated, and ambitiously driven individual I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed nor have a single worry with your dogs in her care.”


Tharshana W.
“Tharshana is an extremely caring, loving and gentle person, whom I have trusted to care for my dogs Cleo (Rotterman) and Ellie (Dalmador) on many occasions. Both Cleo (4 years) and Ellie (2 years) are large, energetic dogs who demand a lot of attention. Tharshana has always been patient, loving and firm with them and been able to manage and care for them excellently. He has also cared for Ashe- 4 month old Dalmatian mix puppy- the new addition to the family. I trust Tharshana implicitly with all my dogs and can recommend him 200% to care for your dogs.”
