“We love!!!! Anthony and monique, they are special people and took excellent care of our 3 year old Mila. She stayed with them for an overnight visit and I was very happy with the care they provided! She got so much attention, Anthony and Monique kept us updated constantly which is a plus. They were very flexible when our schedule changed and we needed to adjust the drop off and pick up time. And our dog came back clean, happy and tired :-) i recommend Anthony & Monique , if I can give more then 5 stars I would!!!!”

We also got in depth notes about his day along with pictures everyday, which was so helpful! We will definitely use them again -- great sitters!”
“This was my first time boarding my puppy. We were not sure how our 4 months old puppy was going to behave but Mariana provided an excellent care to our baby. She knows how to read dogs behavior and our puppy had a wonderful stay. Mariana was really responsive and thoughtful all the time and I’ll totally recommend her! Thank you, Mariana!”
“Christopher was very accommodating and flexible. He went out of his way to pick up Cameo at a more ideal timing prior to my departure for my work trip. He sent daily updates and pictures of Cameo playing and answered any questions that I had. Cameo got lots of play time and came home happy and exhausted :)”
“Zuleima did a fantastic job making my dog feel like he had a home away from home! I got frequent updates with pictures and he even got extra walks. Thank you so much!”
“Nadine and her family were wonderful in taking care of our dog, Stella, while we were away. They were very attentive to Stella’s needs and personality and kept to her regular routine. Nadine kept us updated of Stella throughout her stay which is important when apart from your pets. We will definitely be using Nadine and Daniel again as dog sitters and highly recommend them to anyone considering a sitter for their pets.”
“Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!”
“Bianka took great care of our dog Scooby, who presents with many challenges, including anxiety and blindness. She spent a lot of time with Scooby, such as by walking, petting, and playing with him. She even kept him company and played calming music for him when he woke up in the middle of the night. Bianka also sent frequent updates that included pictures. We are so grateful for Bianka!”
“Allyson took such good care of our pups! They made themselves right at home at her house. We got many picture updates which we loved. Allyson is very organized and great at communicating. We will definitely be booking with Allyson again!”

“Karina & Teresa were able to watch my baby in a short notice. I am so grateful to them. They were so loving and caring towards Bennett. They ensured he had a home away from home and kept me updated.”
“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”

Brianna was excellent! She so clearly loves dogs, and Cody was very comfortable with her from the moment he met her. She put in effort to ensure that Cody was both safe throughout his stay and having a blast/getting lots of play time and walks. We would highly recommend Brianna!
Julia was an amazing sitter. My dog loved spending time with her. She sent frequent pictures and updates. She reached out immediately with any questions or concerns she had to make sure she was taking the best care of my pup. I will definitely be using her again in the future.
Sai was excellent and amazing when boarding my dog for a couple of days. Followed all instructions given and provided updates throughout the day. Since this was my first time using this app I was a bit skeptical with everyone but I gained confidence because Sai is amazing at care for our loved ones. Will definitely book again if needed, Highly recommended.
Ashley was very reliable, excellent care giver. She walked my dog every day. I was so lucky to have Ashley available to take care of Charlie my little dog. Charlie was so excited to see Ashley’s beautiful and friendly dog , I really loved petting her dog, he was so cute and so smart. I definitely rebook with Ashley whenever I am back in New Haven. Location was great too! Near Yale.
Katherine took wonderful care of our dog, Petunia, during her stay over a recent, long weekend. She sent frequent messages and photos as to Petunia's activities which gave us great confidence that Petunia was happy and comfortable staying with Katherine. We will definitely book a stay with Katherine in the future when Petunia needs boarding.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their New Haven home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your New Haven.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your New Haven sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
