“Katherine took great care of Lily while I was away for the weekend. She is a lovely person, and I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby in her capable hands. Thanks Katherine!”


“Liz was super dependable and helpful. Our dog is a bit timid but she took the time to care for her and make her feel comfortable. Would absolutely recommend her to others!”


“We met Jen prior to her staying with our cat, Buddy and we knew she would be perfect. She was attentive, asked questions and she made us feel comfortable about watching Buddy. Jen sent photos and videos while we were gone and never left a doubt that she was the right choice to stay with our cat. We will certainly have her back.”


“Lindsay was wonderful and helped me out by house sitting at last minute. Would recommend!”


“Amanda took great care of our dog while we were away for a week. She was responsible, communicative and we would love to work with her again.”


“Steven and Claudia are kind people and great cat and house sitters! They took care of our cat Hugo for 2 weeks and kept us updated with messages and pictures. We came back to a happy cat and clean house and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again. Highly recommend!”


“We had to leave our goldendoodle for three days while out of state. She had not been left alone since being boarded at our vet 4 years ago, so we had concerns. Heather was wonderful! She came to our house twice before we left to learn our dog's habits and become familiar with her. Heather stayed at our home during our time away. She followed our dog's schedule to perfection (feeding time, potty time, nap time, bed time, play time, etc.). The day after our return, our dog was looking around for Heather. Heather also updated us regularly, including photos. I would recommend her highly, and hope to use her again.”


“Isabel was a great sitter! My dog seemed very happy, and Isabel gave daily updates. It was our first time dog sitting, and it went well—thanks, Isabel!”


“Katelyn took great care of our pets (dog and 2 cats) and our house when we went away. She came to our house to meet them and us before our trip, sent us photos while we were away, and left our house very clean. We would definitely use her again!”


“Maverick was happy and well cared for. Mai did an excellent job caretaking for him. Maverick doesn’t warm up to new well and he liked her at first meet.”


“Janalie more than exceeded my expectations, not only as a house guest but as a dog sitter too! I have two rescue beagles that are full of love, but can be challenging at times due to PTSD and trauma from their previous homes. They can have a hard time meeting strangers, but they were all over Janalie the moment she walked through the door with her radiating energy! Although we were only gone for a day and had Janalie as a guest for a night, I got several updates with pictures. I admired her motivation to go above and beyond for my dogs; they are hunting dogs, notoriously food obsessed, and race to finish their food before the other. I warned Janalie about their fast eating, and she texted me not long after I left for my trip to ask for permission to use blankets/towels to help them eat slower. She really paid attention to my dogs needs and I really loved that about her! I was so happy to receive her updates and pictures while I was gone because my separation anxiety might be worse than theirs. We will definitely be asking Janalie to come back in the future!”


About: I have about 10 years of experiences taking care of cats, dogs, and small animals. I have experience bonding/introducing new pets in the home, having taken a boot camp a few years ago and doing it multiple times with rabbits, cats (one success, one not), and a dog/cat combo. I've also leash trained my own dog, parents dog and a friends dog. I can also work on basic commands. Im comfortable brushing teeth, bathing and administering non-needle medicines. The prices on the flyer are for payments off Rover (venmo/zelle/cash app), as Rover takes 20% the prices on here are higher, whichever you're most comfortable with is fine with me! Pet care is currently my only job. Even when I have a part-time job, my schedule is very flexible and open to various appointments each day. I do not let animals off leash when outside unless in a fenced in yard/park. At my own home, I live next to a park and take walks at least 3x a day with your pup.

“Teddy stayed with Wilkie for a week and took fabulous care of him! They sent daily photos and updates and Wilkie was happy and healthy when I returned. They took great care of my place too. A great pet-sitting experience!”


“Nancy was a joy to work with from the moment I contacted her. She is very responsive when you contact her. We had a meetup with her so we could show have her meet our two dogs and she asked many questions about what the dogs needs were and liked, dislikes etc. while we were on our vacation, she updated us daily with pictures and and what the dogs were doing that day etc. It was very comforting to see photos of my dog, snuggling with her and enjoying their walks. When we returned home, our house was immaculate! Nothing out of place and everything clean as a whistle. I can’t say enough positive things about Nancy. Try her you’ll love her!”


About: Hi! I’m Lex, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for furry friends. Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats—and helping with my mom’s pet sitting business in Pennsylvania—I’ve always felt right at home with pets of all kinds. From neighborhood pups to my own snuggly cat, I know just how much love, patience, and attention animals need when their humans are away. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or just some cozy company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone. Think of me as your pet’s second-best friend (after you, of course!). Let’s give your pet the care they deserve—because they’re family. I’m currently a grad student so my time is flexible. I love spending time with animals and so this will be a fun opportunity. I’m also great at time management and a morning bird, so happy to tailor my schedule for each pets needs. Depending on the pet is how I tailor my services. Some animals need more attention and care with lots of belly rubs and pets. Others need more attention and play time. While others just need some cuddling. Depending on what type of animal you have, I can modify around that. My cat is very spoiled in my house and he has full reign of his kingdom as he’d say.

About: Hi! I am here in New Haven for the next two months for a summer internship. Im looking for something to keep me busy outside of work and to revive myself of my current deprivation from dogs! I live an active lifestyle and would love to walk and explore New Haven. I currently reside in the East Rock neighborhood. I can give walks anytime before 9:30 am, and after 5 pm! Monday-Friday! More flexible on weekends! I can accommodate when needed! Would prefer to work with happy dogs! I don’t tolerate misbehaved dogs! Will make sure that they are under control! I will take them on walks, make sure they have social opportunities if needed, and be there friend!!

About: With 15 years of personal experience as a dog owner, I understand the love and attention pets need. I have cared for dogs of all ages, from playful 10-month-old puppies to senior dogs at 16 years old. I enjoy taking them on walks, keeping them active, and ensuring they feel happy, comfortable, and well-cared for while you're away. Your pup will be in safe, loving hands! As a full-time college student with a self-made schedule, I have the flexibility to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m always available on weekends and free most afternoons and nights during the week. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, or overnight care, I can provide reliable and loving attention to keep them happy and comfortable! ensure pets stay happy and comfortable in their familiar space. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any needed medication. I follow their routine, provide companionship, and keep the home tidy. Your pet will feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away!
