“Carole walked my dog for a full week and was such a lifesaver! She made sure to give my anxious rescue dog time to get comfortable with her and would even spend time with him after the walk. Very detailed oriented, trustworthy, and caring. Will book again for sure.”
“Sarah did such an amazing job! I have two dogs with very different personalities and she handled them both great! She also took them on a long walk they were still sleepy by the time we got home. Thanks again!”
“Amanda and Kimchi took to each other right away, and I was able to leave for the weekend feeling secure that he would have some good companionship while I was away!”
About: I grew up in a house with nearly every kind of pet! Cats, dogs, chickens, Guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards, you name it. I love being around animals and have quite a bit of experience sitting for them. I regularly dog sit for a dog who needs injections and medications, so I am experienced with animals with medical needs. I love being able to be around animals, so hope to chat! I work full time as a marketing manager, but most of my nights are free and I work remotely for the majority of the week! Wednesdays are my only day that are unavailable. I do not care for pets at my own home, because of my pet rabbit. I do watch at clients homes frequently though, and am used to following whatever schedule works best for their pet.
About: I've had dogs, large and small, off and on since I was 9. I'm comfortable working with them and making sure their needs are met. I'm definitely also a cat person and enjoy the chill companionship that they provide. I'm happy to work with you to make sure your fuzzy family members are taken care of as well as I would want my own to be. I am self employed and have a flexible work from home schedule. During the school year, I have flexible availability around pick up and drop off times, and during the summer my hours are even more flexible. Whatever schedule you need, I can probably accommodate (within reason). While I cannot care for your pets in my home at this time, I'm happy to work with you to care for your pets in your home following their usual routine to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible. There's no stock answer for that, as routines will be different for every pet, so please feel free to reach out and we can talk about your pet's specific needs!
About: Hello! My name is Mikayla and I am a Yale graduate student who recently moved to New Haven with my husband. Since 2010, and on my own since 2017, I took care of my family yellow lab, Molly, until she passed at 13.5 years old. Through this, I have had experience with all stages of a dog’s life, with extensive experience in senior care. I am also available for boarding other pets as well (i.e. cats). Due to my flexible school schedule I am available to walk or board your pet at most times throughout the week. My husband, Justin, and I cannot wait to welcome your pet into our home and we promise to love and take of them while you are away. Feel free to reach out if you have any direct questions.

I have a partially fenced yard for your dog to play and use the restroom. Our home is open and clean, making it easy for cats and dogs to move around. It is 2 floors, but the first floor is main living so senior pets do not need to access the stairs.

5. Amber S.
“Amber watches our dogs and elderly cat regularly for weekends away, She really cares about them and they seem to really like when she stays with them. Daggett our finicky eater, barely gives her trouble even when he's decided the latest kibble isn't up to snuff and Norbert has adopted her as his comfort person when he gets the chance. Gizmo, our 16 year old mostly blind tabby follows her around and likes to use her as a pillow. All and all Amber is a great caregiver and I can not recommend her enough.”
