1. Howard & Kathleen R.
“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!”

“Malik was great with our dog, Olive, who generally doesn't like not being with us. He also sent us pictures and updates on how she was doing during the day, and was easy to communicate and schedule with. Thanks, Malik!”


3. Eileen P.

“Eileen and her husband were WONDERFUL! I am going to be regularly booking with Eileen. I got updates throughout Paco's day and felt completely safe leaving him with her family. Paco seemed to have enjoyed himself and I can't wait to bring him back :).”


4. Bianca G.

“It is a pleasure having Bianca's help. We changed the time for sending over and picking up Peanut multiple times, and Bianca accommodated our request nicely and timely. Bianca took Peanut to have long walks and sent us many updates with photos and videos of Peanut. When we picked Peanut up, he is very excited to meet us but also tired because he had a full exercising day. Definitely will reach out for her help again.”

15. Mikayla & Justin W.
About: Hello! My name is Mikayla and I am a Yale graduate student who recently moved to New Haven with my husband. Since 2010, and on my own since 2017, I took care of my family yellow lab, Molly, until she passed at 13.5 years old. Through this, I have had experience with all stages of a dog’s life, with extensive experience in senior care. I am also available for boarding other pets as well (i.e. cats). Due to my flexible school schedule I am available to walk or board your pet at most times throughout the week. My husband, Justin, and I cannot wait to welcome your pet into our home and we promise to love and take of them while you are away. Feel free to reach out if you have any direct questions. Looking forward to caring for your pet!! 😊 I am a graduate nursing student with a flexible schedule where I only go into school or clinicals 2x a week. I am also able to come back throughout the day during those times. Lastly, my husband works from home so someone is always there to care for your pet. I have a partially fenced yard for your dog to play and use the restroom. Our home is open and clean, making it easy for cats and dogs to move around. It is 2 floors, but the first floor is main living so senior pets do not need to access the stairs.

17. Mengdongxue H.

“She did an amazing job with my dog Cassidy. She was truly an angel to take care of my sweet girl while we went to a concert! She was very communicative and sent me lots of pictures and videos. Will definitely recommend her and use her again next time we're in New Haven!”


18. Allie D.
“I spent time with Allie as she sat one large and one small dog on a vacation camping weekend. It was a new setting for her to dogs sit in, and she was careful, attentive, and caring for the pups! She has a deeply caring heart, thoughtfully plans for the dogs’ comfort levels, and is fun and friendly in all circumstances.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and other animals since I was 10 years old. Neighbors and family have always trusted me with their pets! I’m currently working hybrid from home, so I’ll have a lot of time to play with your pups! I’m free most afternoons to walk and board on the weekends! I have a dog park right by my apartment and have a second unused bedroom for your pupper. The region around my neighborhood is super dog friendly and there’s always other furballs around!
