“Jae is a lifesaver! She walked my dog, Bear, while I was recovering from surgery and even showed up reliably during a snowstorm. She is punctual, professional, and clearly a 'dog person.' Bear was always thrilled to see her and came back happy after every walk. Highly recommended!”

About: I‘ve had dogs and cats my entire life and hopefully forever. I currently have 3 adorable dogs and 2 amazing cats that are apart of my family. I have also cared for other pets in my experience working at a Veterinary Hospital and Boarding House. I worked in the boarding facility as well as the hospital so I’m no stranger to caring for cats and dogs (sometimes exotic animals). I also assisted the techs with various procedures. This means I can administer medication orally if it’s ever needed and I have the knowledge to be aware if something doesn’t seem right about your pet. I was additionally in charge of walking the dogs, even those in e-collars and paw protectors. I am working part-time as a photographer, but I will always have time for any animals! I enjoy early morning walks and afternoon play dates! My daytime schedule is between 7 am-10 pm Monday-Friday. I walk dogs usually between 9 am-9 pm to give myself enough time with each animal. When it comes to your pet, because I have schedule flexibility I’ll be able to drop in whenever it’s needed to make sure things are going smoothly while you’re away. I’ll be able to provide your pet with the snuggles and care that they need all the while keeping you updated with notes and photos so you feel confident and comfortable that your pets are being taken care of properly! My animals play daily and get loads of attention! I would treat your pets the same way. I don’t believe your pets are just pets. They’re apart of your family. All of the animals I’ve had have been treated the same way any one of my human family members are treated. Whatever is needed for them to be happy and content I will help provide.
About: Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets. I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs. I’m a cat person myself, I have two sibling cats Bonnie and Clyde, but I love dogs just as much and will take care of all animals with love. My current schedule at the University of New Haven is Sunday and Monday 7am to 1:30pm and Tuesday through Thursday 1:30 to 8pm. I always make pet safety my top priority by carefully following the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and keep pets in their normal routine. I also make sure fresh water is always available. I respect each client’s home, keep communication open, and send regular updates and photos so owners feel comfortable knowing their pet is being well cared for. If a pet seems nervous or shy, I stay patient and let them adjust at their own pace.
“Rosie (our puppy) loves David. We've had other walkers when he's booked, but you can tell when David has been there versus others (walkers). He definitely makes sure she gets her exercise :) my only advice m, make sure you book him in advance otherwise you may not be able to get him!!”
About: I rescued a very temperamental dog and we have learned a lot from each other. Waffle loves her walks and I would love to extend that joy to your dog. I’m retired and would love to extend my love of dogs to others and help them out with daily life. I know how much Waffle loves her walks. I will not be boarding just doing walks but Waffle is very cared for and I would make sure on my walks that all the dogs will be cared for.
About: I currently have 1 senior dog, a 6 year old dog, and a 2 year old dog. I have volunteered at a doggie daycare. Additionally, I am a volunteer puppy raiser for the service dog organization Canine Companions and I am currently raising a 1 year old puppy for this organization. I am also a dog sitter for the organization Guiding Eyes for the Blind. I care for my own dogs and the future service dog daily. The service puppy turns into professional training in August and with more free time I am looking to add clients! Also, I have experience with cats! I am a new graduate from UConn and pet care is my side gig until I get a fully time job! I am free to care for animals any time that is needed and I can’t wait to help you! I walk all my dogs every day. I walk my 20 pound senior dog and then my 55 pound service dog puppy separately. Then I take my 90 pound dog and the 60 pound dog on a walk as well. I am experienced with walking dogs of all sizes and I know how to handle them.
“Mikala is the best with both our kitty and our puppy, she always takes great care in paying attention to the details that make your pet feel most comfortable and happy! Our dog loves his time with Mikala!”
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: Hello!! My name is Erin. I am a medical student and animal lover who would love to care for your best friend in my free time! As a student, my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to take care of your pet whenever would be the most helpful for you! The safety of your pet is my #1 priority. I believe the best way to ensure safety is to communicate. I will take attentive care of your pet and update you as frequently as you would like.
About: I am my friends & family's go-to person to babysit their dogs. From the shy & timid to the outgoing & playful, I haven't met a dog that didn't feel comfortable with me. I've grown up with dogs my whole life and know them so well. I can't wait to meet your pup! I work from home right now, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can pop over to let your dog out while you're at work, or house sit if you're going on an overnight trip. I will follow your lead when it comes to caring for your pet. They need time to play to let some energy out, or need to go for a walk, or need to be in a crate at night - I take my experience plus their routine with you to make them comfortable & have some fun too!
“Andrea was so great to communicate with - she sent lots of videos and was clearly so sweet with our dog. Very happy to have connected with her, and highly recommend!”
About: I grew up on a farm with goats, cats, dogs, and a chinchilla. Taking care of pets is second nature to me and as a child free millennial, I have all the time and love to give. My cat Karen will attest to this and would love to share the attention with other pets and get me out of her hair (quite literally). I currently work 8:30-5 M-F, but have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends to spend time with your kitties! I may even be available on my lunch break depending on location. I would love to build trust and comfortability with your cats prior to drop ins. It’s important for us to be comfortable with each other, and I encourage all pets to interview me thoroughly before signing on.
“Aisaia was great!! Very prompt on time, gave me dog a wonderful long walk and she returned very happy and relaxed. I will definitely reach out to him again in the future! Thank you Aisaia!!”
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.
About: I’ve always cared for dogs for friends and family since I was in my teens. I’m comfortable with dogs of any breed large or small. I’m very active and can assist with walks and playing to get that energy out in a productive way! Currently transitioning careers so I have plenty of time to play and walk with your pups! Weekend availability also, just kindly let me know in advance. I’m very clean and organized and always leave a place better than I found it. I would bring that level of care to your home

Sarah is the best! I’m an anxious dog mom with a high energy lab and I’m at ease every time she does drop-ins. She’s very reliable and so patient and loving with my dog and he absolutely loves her. She sends lots of pics during her visits, takes him on long walks, plays with him, etc. I really wouldn’t trust many other people so I’m so happy we found her! Highly recommend!
Devin was great with my dog, Sailor! I appreciated how she constantly updated me on how she was doing. I also received many photos of my animals, which I loved. Devin understood that Sailor would be apprehensive since it was their first meeting, and gave Sailor the space she needed until she became comfortable, along with some yummy liver treats. Would recommend!
