Cat Sitting in New Haven

About: Hi! My goal is to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable while getting the best form of care I can provide. Growing up with animals, especially dogs, has taught how to be a patient and caring person. I’ve built a relationship with my own dog off of trust and want to do the same while caring for your pupper! I’m a focused and detail oriented person and will work to ensure all your specific needs are met. Currently I’m working part time, so I have a flexible and pretty open schedule to take care of your pets. I’m also good with last minute changes and can easily switch around my schedule for what works best for you! I live in a small town with plenty of areas to walk dogs and I also have a fenced in back yard. I have one dog and two cats that do well around other animals, as well as a trustworthy vehicle to take me to your location.

“Kallie was INCREDIBLE! She gave me so many updates about the kitties while she house sat, it really made me feel so much less anxious about going away. It's clear that she really cares and truly has such a huge heart for the people and fur families that she cares for. I can't thank you enough!!! ❤️❤️❤️”

About: I have had a dog almost my entire life with short breaks in-between, I have always taken care of my animals and before I was old enough to pay I'd tag along for vet visits ! I've always been the person to call for animals in my family, most recently I've watched my neighbors cat upstairs for 4 days or I've watched my step sisters medium sized dog for her multiple weekend away trips and lastly of the more recent I house/dog sat for a close friend of mine for a week with her two dogs! I'm not shy with bigger dogs I had a Pitbull/Lab mix and I now have a German Shepherd who has allergies that we take care of! I'm currently working part time making donuts overnight so I would be able to stop by after my shift ends early morning (typically 6:30-7am), after I wake up (early afternoon so 2pm), then evenings before my shift(before/ around 8pm) ! I'm available most days besides Sunday/Mondays with give and take! I always make sure pets are fed on time, they're taken out multiple times a day, even taken on walks when needed and of course playtime! I also do not mind having to give animals their oral meds or maybe some cream on the skin or medicine baths!

About: I’ve had so many kinds of animals over the years and I love caring for them! I also grew up next to a dairy farm where I helped all the time! My grandparents owned a farm and flower business as well. I hope you’ll trust me to care for your pets! I’m available during the week most days after 4:30 pm until 11 pm (no Thursdays, and random days I’m not available during kids baseball season but will know the schedule way ahead of time so I can schedule around those. I’m available on Saturdays except between 9-1 pm and available all day Sunday until 11 pm. My pets are spoiled! We have a dog, a cat and 2 birds at the moment. They each have their own beds, toys and frequent grooming. Playtime is alllll day, especially for my shih tzu who is 13.

“Marlana was so kind and caring to my cats while I was away. It put my mind at ease knowing they were well taken care of.”

“Brooke was amazing ! I’m a Paramedic in Flint so I work long days . I have a new pup that is 5 months old and he’s crated while I’m at work . She came to my house and was able to let him out and play with him . She gave him some water and a couple treats . I booked her again because she seemed to do really well with my puppy . She communicated with me and I am very grateful to her for taking the time .”

About: Got a special request Just ASK & I can probably accommodate! I treat my home like an Airbnb for dogs!! If you use talking dog boards ( not provided) or have any additional training needs I am happy to include that with booking. I do have talking dog buttons accessible to dogs in my home so they can request any basic needs they have. Not all dogs use them but we have them & will offer the option to every dog! I also can provide Spaw Services this includes all natural paw pedicures ( No nail trimming), paw pad treatment, doggy massages & stretches. Cooling collars in the summer, & warm blankets in the winter. Doggy facials & all natural doggy face wipes, & all natural coat treatments. My puppy Dutch gets a weekly coconut oil fur treatment. Also offer all natural food options for dogs! ( Price not included in boarding) At age 12 I started volunteering for Leader Dog of the Blind and Paws With A Cause training career service dogs. I have trained numerous dog and have over 20yrs of experience. When boarding dogs I take in consideration breeds, personalities, age & special needs. I provide shorter walks and shorter play times with older or special need dogs. I also rotate one on one time with the dogs I am boarding. Each stay I provide 1-2 walks per day and outdoor play times. I provide training with the dogs free of charge. Some examples are walking calmly, eye contact, and waiting calmly. I view dog boarding as a "Doggy Arb&B" & do my best to incorporate outings such as a walk to get pup cups in the summer. In colder months I provide nights by the fire with stuffed bones. Or I make all natural homemade dog treats in my experience the dogs enjoy laying in the kitchen while I make them. And of course provide lots of love & cuddles free of charge! am taking boarding, drop in visits, and other pet services. I have a fenced in backyard. Daily walks and play times are given throughout day. On weekends I am outside most days . The dog/s can enjoy ice bowls, kiddie, pool, and shade in the backyard. My son & view dog boarding as a doggy ARB & B. They are on vacation too. In the summer months their last night of boarding they get a special walk to the ice cream store to enjoy a pup cup & extra one on one time.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have taken care of them as well. I’m currently in school to be a vet tech so this is what I’m best at! I’m currently a stay at home mom but I’m available for check ins/walks throughout the week and the weekends. My schedule will be updated often. I prefer to come to your home for check ins and pet care. I feel the pet will feel safer in their own home and environment and won’t be so stressed in a new place with somebody they aren’t familiar with.

“Christie is very friendly and reliable. Our two puppies are always excited to see her! She provides great feedback. I would recommend!”

About: Hello, I am Grandma Cindy, I have been taking care of peoples homes and pets for years. Pets included dogs, large and small, cats, horses, goats and chickens. Your home will be kept clean and safe, your pets loved and cared for. Start planning your trip today! I am self employed and work from home. My work hours are flexible and I am available to attend to your homes or pets needs. I am ready to care for your home and your pets in their home environment. Keeping beloved pets in an environment in which they feel safe and comfortable is most important to me.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have had a variety of pets since I was a child. I currently have 3 dogs and a cat. Our family & friends reach out to me when they plan on going on long trips or vacations because they know I jump at the opportunity to take care of their pets! I’m currently working full time during the week so right now I can only manage drop in visits throughout the weekend. Depending on the situation I could make drop in visits available during the week in the evenings as well! I will care for your pet(s) at your home in any way that is needed. If they need special care/medications or anything if that nature I am more than willing and able to take care of it.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life, I worked in the vet field for over 4 years in various aspects, I currently am a Dog Bather at a local groomers. I currently have 2 dogs (one of which is in service training) and a cat, I used to have lots of reptiles as well! I'm never afraid of any dog and welcome them with open arms. I currently work part time Wednesday - Saturdays pretty consistently, but my days don't start until earliest 830am and I'm normally done between 4-5 (unless we have a late day scheduled). Sunday - Tuesdays are my off days outside of doctor appointments and any other extra curriculars I do ☺️ I do only offer in home services as my older dog is a bit of a rough player and my younger is in service training and I can't take the risk of him being injured. In you home, I will stay with you pet overnight if that is what makes you the most comfortable. They can sleep with me or be crated, whichever is preferred by you. Feeding will always be on schedule and meds can be administered as needed (I have a lot of experience keeping meds straight for my own dogs). A daily walk will happen (distance dependent on dog and weather) and we will play in the yard and enjoy lots of cuddles and belly rubs!! While I love spoiling my own babys, I'll make sure to keep everything as consistent as possible for you!

About: I've had a dog for the past 5 years ( shiloh ) she's a German Shepard! She is wonderfully and well trained also is fixed. she does love to greet people so she might jump. I've also dog sat for many years as well and I worked for a dog company back in 2017 where I took care of daily task as well as medical needs when necessary, and worked along side pregnant and and birthing mothers. I have had a couple cats growing up, none to call my own though. So I am also acquainted with the care of cats and kittens as well as shiloh was raised around all types of animals and children of various ages so we are comfortable saying there should be no issues with her. However we can make other accommodation for her if you don't feel comfortable with another animal in the home. One final note I have 2 children a 1 year old and a 3 year old. I hope you enjoy my profile and to hear from you soon! I have a 5 year old German Shepard who lives full time with me and my children at home. I know how to give medication, shots aswell as cut nails and bathe but I do not feel comfortable trimming or giving the dogs a hair cut. I don't have a fence, i do have a little yard but I have harnesses and leads to walk and take the dogs out side to play. I do have a crate available if needed my dog is trained as well as crate trained. Shiloh ( my dog ) love the company of other fur babies to run around as play with. My two children are also in love with animals but I do have a vary large second living room and attached mud room that I can limit off for dog access if it would make having a dog stay here more comfortable due them not being used to children!

About: My love for animals has been an extension of me for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats so I am well phased in caring for both. I do not claim to be a dog trainer but I will care for your animal in all ways that fit their needs, whether that means senior or puppy care! To me, every animal has their own unique personality and I am so excited to get to know them! 😊 I work full time so I will need two weeks in advanced for in home pet care including overnight stays, however dog walking is something that I set time aside for daily so I can fit time for that into my schedule every day! I can offer client in home care your your pets and daily dog walking. I am familiar with crate training, scheduled feeding and daily exercise.

About: I've owned pets of all kinds starting as a child! Animals bring me incredible joy, and I'd love to bring that joy into your home when I watch yours! I've owned, rescued and loved cats, dogs, rabbits, ducks, raccoons, birds, and squirrels! I currently own 4 cats, all of which were rescues. Two of them brother and sister who I hand raised and bottle fed. I also have 3 dogs, A gaggle a blue heelers, so I'm especially used to high energy pups. Though they very recently left my care due to a separation. I take great pride in the attention to detail I give to the animals in my care. I'm experienced in giving all kinds of medications, to both dogs and cats. In fact, one of my own kitties has kidney disease, and I've been managing his treatment and care 100% alone. Cooking him three meals a day, hand feeding, administering any medications needed, and even giving him at-home subcutaneous fluids. But as always, let's please communicate about the details of your pet beforehand if any special care is needed so we can make sure we're a great fit for eachother! I'm a corporate professional who is very fortunate to work from home, and has really great control of their schedule! So I can very likely work my schedule around your needs! For those whose pets I will be dropping in on to feed or walk, I take great care in making sure instructions are followed, and all the needs of your pets are met! I have an abundance of love to give, so rest assured that they'll get as many scritches as they can handle, and as much fulfillment as I can give while I'm there. I know what it's like to have to leave your fur-family alone, and I'll do everything I can to make this time a positive one for them, and you! I also offer cat boarding, which seems rarely offered. I wanted to offer this because I myself have been in a situation where I've needed this service, and I've never found a place that offers it, and it was absolutely so stressful so try and find a solution! For the kitties that stay with me, I have a completely separate spot in my house that I will have them stay in, since I have kitties of my own. The previous owner of my house actually had this section designed as an in-home salon, so it has a completely separate entrance into my home. As cat owners, we know how sensitive and stressed they can get, and introducing cats to other new cats just adds more unnecessary stress. This separate entrance and room allows for a stress free, safe environment that's large and clean to play and hang in, all to themselves! They will have their own sanitized, fresh litter, litterbox at the ready for them. No need to have to haul your own supplies here! Just bring any food and treats (or any special toys or blankets that you feel might be good things for them to enjoy their stay better, or be more at ease!) Your pets must be fully vaccinated in order to come stay, so please be ready to show proof of up to date vaccinations prior to any boarding bookings. This is for the safety of both your fur babies and mine.
