About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, especially cats. Over the years, I have become the go-to pet sitter within my friend group and regularly care for my friends’ cats while they are away on vacation. I also grew up informally pet sitting for neighbors and friends, giving me experience caring for pets in a variety of home environments and routines. I currently care for my own cat, Reami, a 3-year-old Ragamuffin whom I have raised since he was a kitten. Reami has anxiety-related health issues that can contribute to urinary tract problems, so I am very familiar with providing attentive, patient, and consistent care for sensitive pets. Because of his needs, I understand the importance of maintaining a calm environment, monitoring behavior closely, sticking to routines, encouraging play and enrichment, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. In addition to caring for Reami, I have also helped care for my roommates’ cats in the past, including feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and general companionship. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable caring for cats with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments — from shy and anxious cats to highly social and playful ones. While I mainly prefer cat sitting, I also have some experience with dogs, including walking friends’ dogs and taking them on hikes and outdoor outings. I am happy to provide patient, attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality and comfort level. As a sitter, I prioritize communication, reliability, cleanliness, and making sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. I am a graduate student whose lab is only a 15 minute walk away from home. My schedule is extremely flexible and except for few meetings throughout the week, my schedule is fully up to me. I am also able to leave at any point for short breaks to take pets out for walks/ check up on them. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I understand that pets — especially cats — can be sensitive to changes in routine, so I do my best to keep their schedule and environment consistent while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, exercise, and any specific routines or preferences. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for. As the owner of an anxious cat with special care needs, I am very attentive to pets’ behavior, comfort, and stress levels. I value patience, cleanliness, reliability, and making sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved.

About: I have been taking care of my own cats and dogs since I was a young child. From potty training to de-escalation, I've seen quite a bit! Oh, and that old saying is not true. You can definitely teach an old dog new tricks. I work a flexible, remote job and am flexible on when I can provide pet services. While I cannot board animals, I am open to visit your pets while away and/or take them on a brisk stroll! I try to make your pet's experience as comforting for everyone as possible. I appreciate getting a list of each pet's likes/dislikes, or even anxieties so I can get a good idea of how to keep them comfortable. I think we can all agree that new people can be scary, and I want to make sure you and your pet feel comfortable and can trust me.

“Emily was great! Availed herself last minute on Valentines Day to walk my little guy, not once but twice. She maintained communication throughout the entire time and I know my boy was well taken care! Thank you Emily, we will be reaching out again: Linus seemed happy and content!”

Lisa M.

“Paul was just perfect for my needs. He walked my two Welsh Corgi's while I was away. He was always prompt, courteous and considerate. My pups grew to like him a lot, and the walking became and happy for them. My husband, who remained at home during this trip, was very pleased. Thank you Paul!”

About: I've had cats in my life ever since I was 10 years old. Bear and Chip are two of the more important things in my life who I grew up with and took care of all the way until I moved out of my parents house a few years ago. I learned to take care of pets at a really young age because of them, and now, I rescued two cats on my own with my fiancé whom we love and adore (Benji and Clementine). I'd love to be able to extend that care onto your pets as I am super passionate about making sure pets are loved and supported properly. I work from home, so am very flexible when it comes to drop in visits or walking your dog throughout the week or on the weekends! In my home I make sure my pets are on really good terms with each other first and foremost. We give them plenty of entertainment and stimulation to make sure they aren't bored and I definitely go out of my way most of my time to make sure they're loved and comfortable in our home. In terms of being in other people's places, I can adapt very easily and know when a cat is comfortable or not. I will never be too overbearing to a pet when I know there isn't full trust there but I will still make sure they're getting the care they need.

“Gabriela was amazing with my dog and my dog really enjoyed her company!! We are grateful she was able and willing to help us last minute. Will definitely book again in the future.”

“Crystal was great, our dog Rosie immediately took to her and was well taken care of while we were on vacation. We would definitely go to Crystal again for any dog walking needs in the future.”

About: I'm in New Haven this summer on a very flexible schedule while I’m studying for the bar exam! I love pet sitting for friends and family and am very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I have lived with multiple dogs and currently live with my cat, Petunia. Happy to provide walks, play, in-home care, overnight sitting, etc. I love getting to know each animal individually and am very conscious of respecting their boundaries. I just graduated law school and am studying for the bar this summer, so I have a lot of flexibility during the week for morning, afternoon, and evening walks as well as for pet sitting more generally. I understand the importance of routine, enrichment, and play for pets and am happy to provide care according to your instructions and your pet’s needs! I like to get to know animals on an individual level since they all have varied personalities.

About: My name is Patrick, and I’m a current college student, double-majoring in Environmental Studies and Sociology. As I study society and the environment, I have a deep appreciation for the meanings we give to our pets because of the joy they bring us. My love for animals has been with me my entire life, as I can’t remember a time when my fondness for furry companions wasn’t there! I’ve owned my dog Cody for 10 years, and I still remember how, for the longest time, getting a dog was the gift I wanted most growing up. When my parents finally agreed, it marked the beginning of a series of memories and shared experiences with Cody. My love for pets has led me to spend a lot of time researching the care required for all sorts of animals, and I’m happy to provide attentive and compassionate care for your companion! (: As a college student on summer break, I have ample time to give to petsitting and will ensure I give adequate care to all pets! I care for pets like they’re my own! Even before having pets myself, I was always focused on learning how to properly care for animals. I still remember convincing my parents to let me get a hamster as a child by researching everything it needed beforehand. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow any specific routines, instructions, or care needs to make sure your companion feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I’ve never had my own dog but have BEGGED my parents for once since I was young. We settled on them letting me volunteer at the local animal shelter, where I mainly walk dogs and help out senior dogs. I’ve loved it so much I did it throughout college, but now that I’m out of college and have moved to a new town, am looking for a similar way to replicate that hobby. Currently also a grad student at Yale, so looking for a low maintenance way to make some extra allowance as well! I work 4/7 days a week, so I can walk your dog on pretty much any time of the weekend, before 10am on weekdays, after 7pm on weekdays, and depending on the week, an extra weekday! Very flexible! I am just looking to walk dogs for now, and I will promise you they will have the best time!! I love to run and hike so your dog will definitely get an amazing walk.

About: Hi there! I’m a current YSN student doing pet care on the side. I have always had lots of animals (currently two cats) and always love to meet new furry friends of all shapes and sizes :)I would love to work with you and your animals providing the best care possible! At the moment I have fully open availability and keep my rover schedule up to date! Anything changes will be kept up to date. . I have a lot of experience with my own animals and grew up taking care of the neighborhood dogs and cats as well. Since I've been around a lot of different animals with a lot of different personalities, I can make any animal feel comfortable around me and quickly pick up on each of their individual needs.
