“We have been looking for a “go-to” dog sitter since moving to the New Haven area this summer, and we’ve certainly found one in Noemi and David. We reached out on short notice, looking to board our dog for a long weekend, and they were nothing but accommodating. We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet, visit their home, and socialize our dog with their family (and their dog, Milo). When we dropped him off there for boarding, we were as comfortable as we could be and had no hesitation in trusting Noemi and David to take care of him. We received great updates/videos over the weekend, and communication was consistently clear and prompt. Our dog seems to have settled right in and came home happily exhausted from plenty of play time this weekend. I can’t recommend Noemi and David enough. We won’t be looking to board our pup with anyone else as long as they’re available!”

We received daily updates, pictures, and even went as far to inquire what else she can do to make our girl, Kiwi, feel at home with her. Jaylese prioritized daily walks and playtime for a healthy and happy Kiwi and went as far to buy a stuffed animal pig for her. Jaylese is super kind, knowledgeable, and professional. We will keep Jaylese’s info for the next time we need care for Kiwi and will recommend her to friends and family.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10. I’ve always treated pets like family and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and patience. I’m also comfortable caring for energetic dogs and making sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I have flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to dedicate time throughout the day to walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m comfortable building my day around a pet’s individual routine and making sure they don’t feel rushed or overlooked. Whether that means a morning walk, midday check-in, some playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. I keep a clean and calm environment, follow their normal feeding and bathroom routines, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also take time to learn each pet’s personality and respect their individual comfort level. Whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer to relax and stay close to me, I want them to feel like they’re in a home where they’re genuinely cared for.

I take my Nellie everywhere except on a plane. This was Nellie’s second stay with Emma and Marco. There was no hesitation with leaving her with this couple. They treated Nellie like she was part of their family. My only fear was that she would be so happy there that she would not eat to leave them. I highly recommend this couple.

Araceli & Uciel are wonderful! Such good and conscientious carers, understand dogs well and especially senior dogs. Our little old guy came home with a pep in his steps and we are so eternally grateful for their care. Her little furbabies are so intuitive and knew how to gently treat our old guy too.

Agnes was such a pleasure to meet. She answered all of our questions and immediately made our dog feel welcome and comfortable. During the stay, she took our pet on regular walks and kept us updated with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring hands. I would definitely recommend Agnes to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter. Five stars!
