About: I can't imagine my life without animals. My family has owned several different species of animals since I was born, and I now own a standard poodle and domestic short hair cat. I understand they are not just an animal, but a member of the family who needs to be treated as such. I am comfortable walking, grooming, and feeding any size and aged dog. Walking can either be at a slow pace, or jogging, I just have to be informed prior. If I am dog sitting, I will be sure to give extra pets and loving to each animal, and can also groom the dog if requested. Looking for consistent clients.

About: I’m a mother of 3 children and two fur babies, a Labrador and a tuxedo cat. In addition to caring for my own pets over the years, I have some experience with foster care as well as veterinary assistance. My schedule is flexible as I am a stay at home parent. Daytime is best but I am also available for night check ins and weekends. My pets are very friendly but I will respect the wishes of the pet owner on how much exposure they prefer their pet to have to other people or pets, as well as any other safety concerns they may have. I live on a low traffic cul-de-sac street, ideal for walking.

About: I am an Animal Behavior student with professional experience in dog daycare, training, educational animal programs, and wildlife rehabilitation. I have hands-on experience working with dogs, cats, rabbits, small animals, reptiles, and rehabilitating wildlife in both professional and personal settings. Through my education and experience, I have developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language, allowing me to recognize signs of stress or discomfort and create a safe, calm, and positive environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. My schedule is very flexible, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I also work part-time in animal care, so my hours can occasionally vary, but I always do my best to accommodate different schedules and provide dependable, loving care for every pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I have experience working with animals in daycare, boarding, training, educational animal programs, and wildlife rehabilitation, so I understand how important patience, supervision, and routine are. I always respect owners’ instructions and work to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me.

“We recently used Dan for a drop in while we did a day trip. She kept us posted with pictures and communication before during and after her visit, I would highly recommend Dahn because of her thoroughness and attentiveness to detail”

About: I volunteer at animal control, where I work with dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. This experience has made me patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for a variety of pets. As an EMT and college student, I am dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to providing a safe, loving environment while treating every pet like my own. I currently work part-time so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your pups! I can work weekdays and weekends as needed and flexible work hours I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. My goal is to make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owner is away,

“Lismary was great. Super communicative throughout the whole process which we really appreciated. Thank you!”

About: Hello! A little bit about me: I’ve helped raise 2 huskies growing up in Connecticut (s/o UConn Huskies 🐾). My fiancé and I adopted Shiloh, a 2 year old mixed terrier breed. We adopted him at 4 months old and know how challenging (and rewarding) it can be to train and raise a puppy. We love going on long walks, playing fetch at the doggy park, and the best of all, cuddling and watching movies together. I have experience taking care and walking dogs of all sizes and breeds. I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your fur baby or take them out for a walk. Open availability until further notice. Both my husband and I work from home, so your pet will be supervised and cared for at all times. I have a fenced in backyard for frequent potty breaks if needed. I make sure I keep your pets safety my priority at all times.

“Thank you Molly for taking care of our 3 cats while we were on vacation. Came back to find them healthy and safe, and so nice of you to sweep the floors before before we arrived!”

About: Hi! My name is Katharine, and I’m currently a social work student working toward my bachelor’s degree with a passion for helping others, which includes animals! I’ve always loved being around pets and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and caring to look after them. I’ve owned my dog for the past 10 years, which has given me hands-on experience with daily pet care, routines, exercise, and providing lots of love and attention. I also regularly dog sit and cat sit for my neighbors, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m currently a college student out for the summer, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have open availability 7 days a week. I’m able to be flexible with walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime to meet each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and any house rules or routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision while keeping the home clean and respectful. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I have taken care of dogs mainly for friends and family and can provide the best service your pet deserves. I will follow owner's exact direction to ensure your pet is excellently cared for! My schedule is very flexible and can work out any schedule to meet your criteria. I can walk the dog 3-4 times a day throughout the day. I have a small male dog (cavapoo) Teddy and he is very friendly with people and other pets. My house is completely dog-proofed and we like to turn on variety of music during their down time.

About: Hi, I’m Jessica. My love for animal care started in 2018 when my family rescued our dog, Chase, from a puppy mill in Pennsylvania. Helping him feel safe, understood, and confident pushed me to learn more about dog body language, temperament, leash behavior, and how to care for each dog based on their needs. I originally entered college as a pre-veterinary Animal Science major and gained hands-on experience with animals, including sheep. I also competed in UConn’s Little I competition and placed second. Later, I shifted toward human medicine and changed my major to Allied Health Sciences on the pre-med track, but my love for animals never left. I also worked as a kennel assistant, where I cared for pets in a boarding environment and learned how important routine, safety, patience, and clear instructions are. Dogs are my strongest area, but I also have experience with cats and small animals through feeding and basic care. For pets with more specific needs, I’m very willing to learn and follow your instructions carefully. Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know their routine, temperament, walking style, triggers, favorite activities, nervous habits, and how they do around other dogs, cats, strangers, children, loud noises, or new environments. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, reactive, slow to warm up, or just very particular, I’d rather know upfront so I can care for them safely and calmly. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, companionship, and basic routine reinforcement. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m happy to follow the commands and routines you already use. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving you clear updates and peace of mind. My schedule is currently flexible, especially for drop-ins and walks. I’m usually available during morning, afternoon, and evening time blocks, and I do my best to plan visits in a way that gives each pet enough time, patience, and attention. I’m also happy to discuss your pet’s usual routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. In a client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I pay attention to doors, gates, leashes, food instructions, litter areas, water bowls, and anything the owner tells me is important. I also like to know about each pet’s temperament, triggers, hiding spots, leash behavior, and comfort level with new people so I can keep the visit safe and calm. For walks, I make sure pets are securely leashed before leaving the home and avoid unnecessary interactions with unknown dogs or people unless the owner says otherwise. I’m patient with shy, nervous, excited, or slower-to-warm-up pets, and I’d rather move carefully than rush them. I’ll also send clear updates, so you know how your pet is doing.

“I can't recommend Kyle enough! He did drop-in visits my cat for three days and was attentive, caring, and timely each visit. He even let me know my apartment was getting a bit warm and asked how he could rectify that while I was gone. Would absolutely hire Kyle again in the future. Thank you so much, Kyle! :)”

“Jessica did drop ins for our little kitten, Mipha, while we were gone for a few days. She took excellent care of her, played and gave her affection. Throughout the whole time we were gone she sent photos and gave helpful updates about how Mipha was during each drop in. She was great! We'll definitely select her again!”

Milton M.

“I would strongly recommend Abigail to everyone! She was extremely thorough when asking about all of our pet’s needs. She was prompt, communicative, and exceptionally friendly with us. Plus, it is so apparent how much compassion and love she has for animals. Will definitely be hiring Abigail in the future. 10/10.”

About: I have been a cat owner since I was little girl and have never met a cat that I didn’t love. I look forward to meeting your fur babyz I work full time local to the west haven area. My hours are much shorter on the weekends which would allow me to spend more time with your pet during visits. My work hours are consistent each week which would allow me to schedule drop in visits in the morning as well in the evening. Any cat care needed I will be able to take care of. Such as all the cleaning of the litter boxes, feedings, and of course playing with them.
