Pet Sitting in New Haven

“Kristy was great! My cats are shy to strangers but they warmed up to her before the end of the week. My kitties were well cared for. I received a note and multiple pictures of my babies daily. She was very prompt and reliable and followed the instructions I left. She also brought in my mail and watered my plants. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need a petsitter again.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since childhood, specifically 3 dogs that were very much a part of the family. I’ve house and pet sat for multiple family members and friends including overnights with dogs and drop ins for cats. My friends all have pets (cats and dogs) and I’m no stranger to how different pets can be in different environments. I’ve been with dogs that are leash only and outdoor. I’m a homebody, so outside of work hours, I often will be hanging around in the evening. I’m available overnight stays Saturday - Monday. Walks and drop-ins anytime Mondays and Tuesdays 2-6:30 pm. Wednesday - Fridays I’m available for walks and drop-ins 6-7:30pm. In a client’s home, I make sure to pay close attention to a pet’s routine, how things are done and what makes them most comfortable. Really making sure things are smoothly done and calm.

“Thank you so much for going above and beyond for a drop-in visit. I’m sure the dogs all enjoyed some extra time outside and on a walk!”

About: My name is Casey, I'm a student majoring in creative writing, and I'm looking to expand my house sitting portfolio. I have been a dog walker and house sitter for three clients/families in 2025 so far and love popping by for walks every two hours with your pup. Size, barking, and puppy-ness are non-issues! I have extreme patience and good shoulders. My grandma always told me to leave the house you're visiting neater than when you got there, so I have an eye for cleanliness and I don't want you to feel like someone has been living in your home when you come back. I.E. I will ask you if I can vacuum. I'm starting school in the fall at Vermont State University in Johnson, so I am free to book any time this summer, unless I have another doggie booked that day. I'm a list maker so I like to write down your instructions when we have a formal introduction. Food, walks, potty time, play time, training, and housekeeping will all be done to your standard.

“Lorrie always did a fantastic job looking after my cat. He tends to revert back into “stray mode” with most new folks, but she look her time and managed to get him to feel safe and comfortable. I hope Lorrie can look after Champ again in the future. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, but in the past year have expanded my experience to include all sorts of animals, from goats to geckos to rabbits to a snail. I’m a daycare teacher by day and am looking to fill my evenings and weekends with quality animal time! I’m available for late afternoon/evening walks, weekend visits, and house sits depending on timing and location. Available after 4:30 most weekdays and on weekends! I work during the day, but may be able to handle morning visits depending on your location. Let me know what your need is and I’ll see what I can do! I live in a small apartment with my cat, so I’d prefer to care for your animal at your home. I love doing overnight housesits when I’m available! I feel this is the most comfortable option for your pet to feel safe around a new person.

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and enjoy figuring out how each dog thinks, why they do what they do, and what they need to be happy! I've boarded single dogs, and I've done overnight stays in-house with 18 dogs at once! I also have experience with all types of medicine administration. Sadly at this time I can only watch female dogs! I have an allergy to the dog allergen Can F 5 which is only found in male dogs. Hope to start allergy shots soon! I'm also a fan of training for those who are trying to train their pups, or don't mind me doing so. Our corgi now knows the following commands: Clean up your toys (she puts them into her toy box), Wipe your paws, Speak, Go to bed, Do yoga (stretch), Spin, Belly (roll over), Snout (put your collar on), Down, Stay, and more! I am completely available for your dog- I work from home as a writer and have very few meetings or obligations throughout the day, which means I get to spend all day with my own Corgi and your dog will be well-cared for! I have a fenced yard, a great neighborhood for twice daily walks, and a very large crate for sleeping if they prefer crate sleeping. We have one spayed 1-year-old dog and one 12 year old male cat who ignores dogs unless he's cuddling with ours.

About: My name is Melissa and I have taken care of animals since my first dog in second grade. I previously had a Labrador and Shih-Tzu who both lived until old age. I also fostered older dogs who could not find homes due to their age. I currently have a one year old yellow lab mix. He’s dog and cat friendly. In order to board your dog, your dog must be dog friendly. I also require a meet and greet to ensure it’s a good fit. I offer boarding in my home. I live in a second story apartment in an old building with a large yard. There is a picture of my apartment located within my pictures. I only board one animal at a time as it's a one bedroom apartment. It allows me to spend quality time with your pet! For boarding I do provide food dishes and toys, but many animals prefer to have some of their own. I also have a medium sized dog crate if required and requested. I have open availability on weekends, however I work from home on weekdays and there may be times I need to be out of my home for up to three hours. I have a camera in my home and will be able to remotely check on your pet if I need to be away for work. I will always inform you prior to the booking if I have appointments out of the home. I am experienced feeding animals in a variety of ways and will follow your instructions on feeding and walking. I ensure animals are well cared for, played with, and that they receive the attention and care needed.

About: I’ve been an animal lover and caretaker my whole life. I have novice vet tech experience and I’m not afraid of the feisty ones, either! I’m working full time but my shift currently runs from 5pm to 1am Tues-Sat, so I am available for walks, play sessions, and pet/house sitting as needed around those hours. Working hours subject to change every few weeks. I like to have fun with my furry friends. I’m not afraid to get down and dirty, or even rough when the zoomies come out.

“Karen was fantastic! My pup was quite the handful (first time) & she was so patient & knowledgeable & really went the extra mile above & beyond. Highly recommend!”

About: Having 21 years of personal pet care experience, both on and off of a farm, I have general knowledge of dog obedience training, socialization training and general grooming of both dogs and cats. I am always willing to learn new things, especially for the sake of the animals that I am responsible for, as well as encourage them to have fun, feel loved and know that they are always in the best care! I have high standards for myself in this regard, so you can always expect that your pet will be in the best hands. Not only that, but you can also count on my loving your furry friend as my very own. I work full time, Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM; I take hour long lunch breaks, traveling home to care for my pup and taking care of business in between. Weekends are open, within reason, and I am willing to modify my schedule for the right person and pet. I will follow clients’ specific guidelines on how to care for their pet(s), observing and reporting anything and everything that occurs during each visit. Routine and consistency is everything, and I will follow these to a “T”!

“Amanda was great! She helped us out last minute on a holiday and was super patient with my dogs, particularly the shy one. I will definitely call her next time we need someone to check in on them.”

Meghan C.

“Alexandra was terrific! We were so happy she was able to take care of our poochies for us while we were out of town, and we were especially delighted that she bonded with our older dog, who is not fond of many people. We really appreciated her reassuring communications. Five stars!”

About: I have experience with cows, horses, dogs, cats, pigs, Guinea pigs, fish, chickens etc from basic feeding and cleaning to much more depending on needs I am currently working part time, and am self employed. I am willing to discuss flexibility to accommodate needs of clients, homes and their pets! I adapt to the needs of my clients and the surrounding. I do like to set up an initial meet so I can ask questions and get familiar to the space, duties and animals.

About: I grew up on a small hobby farm with goats, chickens, horses, dogs and cats. When I was younger I helped train 2 Border Collie/Australian Sheppard mix puppies. I have a good sense of what animals need and am very patient and loving with all animals. I have a infant daughter who will be accompanying me with most my drop in visits. She will be in a backpack while I take care of your furry friend. I am available most mornings, nights and weekends. I love being outside and love being around animals. I am active, friendly, and responsible. I can't wait to take care of your pet and give it love and attention. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I am flexible! I have little ones (2 young daughters) but they will be able to come with me on occasion and they are also pet lover themselves. I have a fenced in yard if needed and love going on long walks and hikes. We would get lots of play time in and happy to bring my dog along for companion if wanted.

“Excellent! Reliable and personal attention to cars and humans.”

Mimi C.

“Katelyn was great! She came over a few days ahead of time to meet Lucy. She was super flexible as I had mixed up the dates! She communicated with us on her visit and how things went. I would not hesitate to use Katelyn again.”

Kerry S.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mara. She did twice daily drop ins and walks with my 3 Australian shepherds and kitty in my camper and followed all my crazy routines/ niche camper instructions to a T. She was timely, communicative and I know my babies were loved on in my absence. My trip ended up being delayed >30 hours and ended up with 3 additional checkins. Mara and her flexibility are the only reason I stayed sane throughout my ordeal- knowing above all my family was taken care of. 10/10. I would recommend Mara to anyone looking for peace of mind any time they need to leave town!”

About: I have been a dog owner for the past twenty years and can honestly say I could not live without them! They have so many endearing qualities: fun loving, patient, non-judgemental, the list goes on and on. My promise to you is to treat your dog with the utmost respect and care that he or she deserves. After all, they are family. I am available weekday mornings and most weekends. I can offer play time, companionship, walks around town and general TLC. I can promise you your dog will not find a better friend, other than you of course! I can also help with dogs that have special needs. When my dog was a puppy he suffered a broken leg and he had a pin in his hip for quite some time. I nursed him back to health with the vets guidance. The bottom line is I will take care of your pooch!
