Dog Walking New Haven

About: Welcome! I have over 20years experience working with dogs. I like to look at my pet boarding as an Airbnb for pets! I am a former service dog trainer. I am currently enrolled in dog training courses through Rover. I will be completing a Veterinarian Assistant program this summer. There is always someone home or available. I work & study remotely. I do provide talking dog buttons. If your dog uses them let me know & we will have them available with words your dog uses & hopefully learn some new ones! Anything that is trending that promoted positive life quality for dogs I usually have on hand or am incorporating it into use Each day I incorporate daily walks, cuddles, & basic training. Basic training is eye contact, leash & buddy walking. I provide one on one time for the dogs each daily. I make sure no dog feels left out. 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. On weekends in the summers. I am outside most days . The dog/s can enjoy ice bowls, kiddie pool, water sprinklers and shade in the backyard. In the summer I offer water play daily! They have free will to come in & out of the house into the fenced in yard all day! In the fall & winter months the dogs can enjoy outside time by a warm outdoor doggie bonfire. There are areas they can romp in the leaves & explore. I also incorporate daily walks weather permitting. On colder days or rainy days we have a rainy paw day. If the dogs are open to it they can enjoy some doggy stretches, Spaw services such as coconut oil rubs on their paw pads, homemade doggie treats, and dog related movies and cuddles!

“Makayla did not hesitate to take care of our snoopy. She did a great job both walking and house sitting. We will never hesitate to book Makayla again.”

About: I have had animals in my home for my entire life. And I do truly enjoy spending time with all animals, They keep me active. I'm currently not working which leaves me lots of time to walk, play & nap with my dog and other dogs during the day time. I have a nice grassy with cement area fenced in yard with ample shade & a friendly dog to play with & to keep other dogs company.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life, I worked in the vet field for over 4 years in various aspects, I previously worked at a dog groomers. I currently have 1 dog 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 am a Stay at Home Mom to my beautiful son so I have some flexibility. Most of my days start at about 8am and I'm unavailable typically after 730pm, but can make arrangements with my husband as needed. I do offer in home stays but can not stay at your home. With having a baby, that is next to impossible. But I have a dog at home that definitely loves company. Your pet must be good with cats as I do have one in my home.

“Kaily did an awesome job taking our two dogs out for a long walk several times while we were on vacation and my mom was sitting them! She was a great communicator and flexible to work with. She was also super accommodating to each dogs needs. Our older dog Sadie got tired out so Kaily brought her back early and then continued on with our younger pup who wanted a longer walk. Would recommend Kaily!”

“MacKenzie did an AMAZING job!! I didn't know what to expect being as this is was my first time using Rover, and I was blown away with how smoothly everything went. I was gone for the 4th of July and even though it was a holiday she walked my dog twice, fed and watered her. She made sure to update me with pictures and get all information needed to take care of my pet. Whenever I go on a trip again I will definitely be using Mackenzie's services again.”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats through pet sitting, two doggy daycares jobs, and Mayfair Veterinary Clinic, where I worked as a kennel attendant. I’m experienced with feeding, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I’ve also cared for cats both professionally and in their homes and understand the importance of giving every pet attentive, dependable care. I currently have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m comfortable with regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care. I’m happy to communicate with owners about their pet’s usual routine and make sure it stays consistent while they’re away :) I have a dog and cat of my own, so I’m used to maintaining daily routines and creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. I’m attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and I love giving them plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. I’m also respectful of each pet’s space and their owner’s home, and I always make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Sara did a great job with Riley! She respected and followed our training tenets . I would definitely ask Sara to walk Riley again.”

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.

He is 8 years old and has lived the best life by going on puppy play dates, doggy day care, and many trips camping with us. I grew up with all kinds of dogs my entire life and I truly feel they are apart of the family! Should be treated like they are apart of the family.

About: Hi there, I'm Rachel! My partner, Stefan, and I are traveling full time across the US in our Mercedes Sprinter and we are looking for way to keep our adventure going while simultaneously seeking out new fur-friends along the way! Since we are so mobile, we are extremely flexible in our schedule and can give your pup (or cat) family members our undivided attention. We also have a 10 month old rescue pup named Knoppers if you're looking for socialization, too! I've had at least one dog or cat in my household all my life! I was a pet care specialist at Petsmart for 4 years and a dog bather for 1. This means I have a wide range of experience with all sorts of animals. Experience in care of exotic pets that include (not limited to): chinchillas, bearded dragons, leopard geckos, ball pythons, parakeets, and conures! At the end of the day, our goal is to give the best care to all the animals we are entrusted to look after. Our plan is to travel the whole US while looking for pit stops to help people along the way! Our schedule is wide open. We are open to what works best for you and your loved ones. Our number one goal is to care for your pets just as you would! Ideally, if you're looking for a multi-day or overnight pet sitter, we could park our van in the driveway so we'd be just a few steps away from your fur babies. If preferred, I could stay in the home with the pets - it's all about communication! We have our 10 month old puppy who is always looking for new friends. He would be more than happy to keep your pets entertained. If your dog(s) would prefer not to have company, we are more than happy to oblige. As previously stated, I worked at Petsmart for 5 years and have even more experience with meeting new animals and noticing the signs of stress or what to do should there be a scuffle between two dogs.

“Makayla is the epitome of professional and we couldn't ask for a better person to leave our pets with. She is knowledgeable when it comes to breeds, training, and overall ways to work with you so your animal gets the most consistent care possible from all fronts.”
