“Casey was great! Very friendly and responsive. Her communication was timely and while we were away she sent lots of pictures of the dogs. One of our dogs experienced some health events and she was right on it letting us know what was going on. I will definitely hire her again!”

About: Hi all! My name is Veronica. I'm an Amherst College alumna ('17) and current 4th year med student (Dartmouth, Geisel School of Medicine '26). I spent my childhood in rural NY, TN, and VA with my grandparents and our dogs, cats, and parrot. In my household, animals were viewed as family, and were always treated as such. I've been taking care of/loving cats & dogs of all sizes (we have owned a daschund named Mr. Wiggles, an Irish Wolfhound named Hobbs, a collie named Blue, to name a few) and ages (puppies to salt&pepper seniors) since I was 5. My partner and I are also proud cat parents to two bonded, adopted cats (Gaston & Basil). I have cared for several friends', neighbors', and strangers turned clients' cats and dogs while they were away/traveling! I hope to bring the same love, respect, and care to your pet that I show my own when you are not there. No pet is too small, too big, too silly, or too drooly for me! I will be based in New Haven, CT working on my residency application, research, and other personal projects with much free time in the upcoming year (2025-26). I am happy to house-sit your pet in your own home, be a dog-walker, or drop-in to feed/walk/play with your pet. For dog-walking & drop-in services, I would prefer if clients are within a 10-15 minute drive from New Haven, CT, though I will consider each request individually. Unfortunately, I cannot accommodate dogs or cats in my own apartment.

About: With a genuine love for animals and years of experience, I provide attentive and compassionate care for your furry friends. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I ensure your pets are happy and well-cared for while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pets! Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine. I schedule specific times for walks, feeding, and play, ensuring each pet gets the attention they need. This consistent routine allows me to provide high-quality care while balancing other responsibilities. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets. In my home, I maintain a secure, clean space with pet-friendly amenities. When in clients’ homes, I follow their routines and safety guidelines, ensuring pets feel at ease and cared for in familiar surroundings.

“Courtney was a great house/dog sitter for us! She was prompt, professional, eager and enthusiastic. She took great care of our dog, taking her out for multiple walks and play-times each day. Gogo was a happy pup when we returned home! We’ll definitely book Courtney again in the future!”

“I am so happy I found Kenzie and so is Sheba! I now can go away and not worry about my animals. Kenzie is very responsible, trustworthy and an animal whisperer. I highly recommend her. Anne W.”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 16 years old and volunteered at an animal shelter for a year. My neighbors, family, and friends have always been able to count on me to take care of their pets. I’m currently available after 5:00 PM Monday-Friday and any time on the weekends. I have a full time job, so I’m able to work around it! I am able to come to a client’s house and play with your dog in the yard, or take them for walks, whichever you may prefer!

“Bella has been the absolute greatest sitter for our dog, Winnie. Our poor girl has anxiety whenever we are not around. This was the first time we left her with a sitter, so we were not sure how she would react. Poor Winnie struggled at first when we left and even had some health issues which required medical attention . Bella sprang into action and got her the care she needed and Winnie quickly got better with her love and support. She also kept us updated on her progress daily and sent us great pictures of her which my family really appreciated since we were all worried and missed her. Once Winnie adjusted, Bella became her “person” and Winnie followed her everywhere. When we got home everything was neat and clean and our mail was brought in for us. We really loved using Bella and she will be our go-to sitter for any future trips. We are very lucky to have found her. If you want someone who cares for your pet just like you would, Bella is the best person for this. Winnie looks forward to future care with her!”



“JJ was a lifesaver. She was able to house sit with my 10 year old Lhasa Apso, Gus, when I had to be out of the house for hours. Gus suffers from separation anxiety but JJ was able to keep him calm and cuddling and distracted and engaged the entire time I was away. JJ sent me texts and pictures all day because she knew I would worry. It wasn’t long before I was 100% confident my little guy was in caring, capable and loving hands and I had nothing to worry about.”

“Veronica was a dream come true for our two cats, who loved her instantly. She was incredibly reliable and responsive, and she went well above and beyond the call of duty to care for them, cleaning up after them, spending playtime with them, and sending us adorable video and pictorial chronicles of their time together (she also happens to be a very very talented photographer.)
