1. 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.

7. Azeen K.
“Azeen looked after our yellow lab while we were on vacation. She was terrific. She walked him twice a day, took him swimming, dried him off, and looked after his needs. She even helped with our pool, and turned on our AC on the final day. I highly recommend her, and would not hesitate to use her again. She's also very friendly”
