“Nicole is the best! She is wonderful with my cat and is absolutely top: responsible, caring, proactive, and communicative. I am so grateful to have found her as a sitter!”
“Yunwen did a great job checking on our dog Peanut! She was very communicative and sent us updates and pictures. Would recommend and we will have her walk Peanut again!”
“Kelli was exactly what we are looking for! She followed all of our instructions and made some helpful suggestions that improved the life of our cat without being imposing. She even brought some new litter when we ran out! And she was able to provide insulin injections with very minor instruction. I will continue to trust her with the life and well being of our cat.”
“Carole did an excellent job caring for my cat while I was gone for the holidays. She was very thorough in making sure all care information was clear, and she gave detailed summaries of each visit. My cat really liked her, too!”
“Emily dropped in once a day to check on our two cats for several days while we were away. She is EXCELLENT with communication. We never had a doubt that our cats werent getting enough love with Emily. 10/10 would ask Emily to cat-sit again! Thanks Emily!”
“I couldn’t have been more thankful for the service Bailee provided. She is a very caring individual and you can tell she has a love for animals. I felt relaxed and comfortable while being away from my fur baby. As this was the first trip I have been able to take I will be definitely rebooking with Bailee in the future! She was an amazing provider and very informative! Followed all directions perfectly!”
“Kelsey is great! She takes my black lab out weekly, and Kay is always so happy to see her. She makes sure she goes to the bathroom and gets a good walk in - highly recommend!”
“Sarah was an incredible caretaker for our cat over the week we were away! She has a keen intuition that allows her to adjust her activities and how she approaches new cats during visits in ways that meet them where they’re at and helps them feel comfortable more quickly. She was super communicative, sending detailed updates and photos each day, and troubleshooted some feeding issues and even helped rectify the chaos our cat created with some houseplants while we were gone! It was clear from photos that our cat loved her visits and warmed up to her very quickly. Her love of animals and ability to care for them well is obvious and we came back to a very happy cat. We’d highly recommend her services!! Thank you Sarah!”
About: I have had 4 cats and 2 dogs throughout my life. I absolutely love animals and grew up pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors!! Grew up with all kinds of pets, my personal specialty being feisty rescues. Love them all and happy to accommodate special care instructions!! I am a full-time grad student, so morning and evening visits are preferred - although I can often accommodate one lunchtime visit during the week! I care for pets in the clients home only, as I have a temperamental rescue cat at home that isn’t trusting of other animals. I am happy to accommodate special care instructions for all kinds of animals and will be sure to give lots of love every time I visit! Feedings, walks, litter pickup, play time, etc. (:
About: Life time owner of cats and dogs throughout his life. Has been watching friend and family pets for several years. Experienced with cats and small to medium sized dogs. I currently work full-time in office Mon-Fri, but am available weekends and weeknights (including overnight). I can be flexible to accommodate your needs. I will meet with potential clients face to face prior to accepting any request. Firstly, to go over any specific needs or questions of your pet and second, to get to know you as an owner.
“Olivia was very communicative, friendly, and did great with Yoshi and the cats! All the animals warmed up to her right away and she was able to manage Yoshi’s ridiculous puppy energy really well! Looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Garrett is hands down the best person to trust with your pet. We left our 7 year old, lively & sociable shepherd mix alone for the first time when we went to Portugal for 10 days. This was the first time Buster had been left with anyone outside the family, and to say I was nervous was an understatement. Garrett went above and beyond, sending messages with pictures and a brief check in, reassuring us that Buster was fine - the pictures gave us real evidence that he was indeed a happy camper, and honestly some of the photos made it seem like he was having a better time than if we’d been home! Haha, but in all seriousness, I would recommend Garrett 100% to anyone, and will definitively be going to him first whenever we need Buster care in the future. Thank you, Garrett!!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong background in animal health and professional husbandry. Through my experience shadowing veterinarians, I’ve developed a trained eye for animal behavior and wellness. I know how to recognize the subtle signs of when a pet is feeling "off" or needs extra attention. I also have professional husbandry experience working with mice in a laboratory setting. This background means I am incredibly detail-oriented, strictly adhere to feeding and medication schedules, maintain rigorous hygiene protocols, and have a gentle touch with delicate or timid animals. I currently work remote for Yale as a PhD student, which allows me a great deal of flexibility to prioritize your pet's needs. On weekdays, I am fully available except maybe a few hours throughout the week for walks, playtime, and feedings. My weekends are completely open for overnight boarding, ensuring your pup is never left alone for long periods and receives constant companionship and care. My home is a 'pet-first' environment where safety and mental stimulation go hand-in-hand. For my two cats, I maintain a strict vertical-space setup and regular 'puzzle feeding' to keep them engaged. I am highly experienced in managing slow introductions and reading subtle body language to ensure all animals feel secure. I maintain a chemical-free cleaning routine to protect sensitive paws and noses, and I’m diligent about 'double-door' safety to prevent escapes. Whether it's ensuring fresh water fountains are clean or providing a quiet, crate-ready retreat, I treat every guest with the same meticulous care I give my own cats.
About: Hi, my name is Ben! I grew up in Alaska as part of a family that has always had 3+ dogs, ranging from 15 to 85 pounds across a wide range of breeds. Most we got as puppies and all were kept for their entire lives. As a result, I am comfortable caring for dogs of every age, activity level, and temperament. I have experience taking care of dogs on antibiotics as well as caring for dogs that are not my own. I am also prepared to care for dogs in various settings, from crowded urban areas to open parks with other pets present. I am a runner and enjoy exploring New Haven's various neighborhoods and parks. If you're looking for someone who is guaranteed to love your dog and knows how to take good care of it, then I'm a great fit! Sí, hablo español. Work as a high school teacher during the day, get off mid-afternoon and usually spend time with pets around then! Flexible on timing in afternoon/evening. I'm happy to walk, run, play, hike, and occasionally even swim with your pet. Whatever you (and they) want, I'm typically up for it!
“Beyond amazing. Jassmyne is sooo flexible, she was so kind to our girls and home. She exceeded our expectations. Her communication was excellent. She was punctual and helpful with all the food/attention each dog needed. If you are looking for a sitter, stop! Jassmyne is your girl!”
“Leah did an excellent job watching our cat who has some additional care needs; she provided consistent updates and photos of him while we were away, and even went the extra mile when he left her a hairball. Would highly recommend!”
“Mikayla and Justin are simply great. They took great care of my dog Thelma, who can be very skiddish as she is a rescue. Mikayla and Justin spent ample time letting Thelma warm up to them before taking her out for a walk. I would 10/10 recommend them for any pet care and I will definitely be booking them again for Thelma!”

Leah was an excellent cat sitter. She initiated a meet and greet before the booking, which was nice. After that, Leah was very responsive through the app and followed all the instructions. Would definitely book her again, especially since my cat seemed very happy for her visits.
Sarah did great with my cat! My cat is an excitable one-year-old with a strong penchant for some rougher play, so he can be a tricky cat to watch. I was really impressed with the way Sarah adapted to my cat’s moods, and figured out how to manage his quirks even just over the course of a weekend. I would absolutely trust Sarah with my cat again.
Andrea is the best! This is my second time using her to take care of my cat, and I’m so thankful. She even had some issues with getting into my building (due to circumstances out of her control) but was super patient as she waited for me to get back to her. Becoming a go-to pet sitter!
Jasie took great care of our cat. From the pictures, we could tell that our cat enjoyed her company and warmed up to her quickly. She was super communicative and took awesome pictures. I highly recommend her and will definitely keep her in mind for future bookings.
Had such a great experience with Melissa this weekend! While she had walked Nala in the past, this was the first time she stayed over while we were away. Not surprisingly she took amazing care of Nala and was so attentive, especially with her post-op care, and kept us updated, it truly meant a lot to us. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Nala (and our home!) were in such good hands. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and trustworthy!
Azeen was amazing with my cat!! She took such great care of her, and I can tell my cat really liked her. My cat is very affectionate and kind of annoying about it (i.e. always begging for attention), but Azeen was wonderful with her and gave her plenty of attention. She sent a lot of great pictures of them hanging out, playing, and her brushing my cat (which she loves). She even spent time trying to debug my litter robot when it decided to act up, and set up a backup litterbox when that became necessary. She did the dishes even though I told her it was okay not to, and she generally kept my home very tidy. Most importantly, I had piece of mind knowing she was taking great care of my cat!! Also had very easy and timely communication. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking again.
