“Jeanne was so good with my two pups! She was so kind and caring with them! She went above and beyond giving them extra love and homemade treats! She took them out for a walk while I was getting married and made sure we had nothing to worry about with the dogs! She made sure to stay a little extra and play with them! Very personal and professional! Definitely will use her in the future!”




4. Mikayla & Justin W.
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. Looking forward to caring for your pet!! 😊 I am a graduate nursing student with a flexible schedule where I only go into school or clinicals 2x a week. I am also able to come back throughout the day during those times. Lastly, my husband works from home so someone is always there to care for your pet. 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.

6. Irving M.
“Irving was always the best with my yorkie. Always had a great time dropping my little puppy off with him because he is very responsible and never ever leaves them out of sight.”


7. Diana A.

“I have had Diana look after my puppies for the past year and a half and I have got to say, I'm stunned! It's always so refreshing to see how excited my dogs get when she arrives to take them on walks or to the park. She always has a smile on her face and I would bet that the dogs love her just as much as she loves them. I can't imagine trusting my dogs with anyone else. She even brought them little Christmas toys and remembers their birthdays. Anyone who is lucky enough to have Diana look after their pets truly is lucky indeed! :)”

I’ve cared for different types of dogs and sizes since 9 years old including some puppy training, cleaning up after them, feeding them and even washing the pet if needed also I’m pretty timely and your pet will have enough backyard space to play around or play indoors. I’ll be working part time and the days i will be available for now are Sundays after 3 pm then Wednesdays and Thursday’s at anytime. I have a dog gate inside my house if needed as well no harmful products near by . Also I have family members who love dogs and will give plenty of love and attention to your pet so they feel cared for. My backyard has a huge dog cage just in case for separation if anything. Lastly I currently have no pets so no jealously will happen.

14. Betsy S.
“Betsy is probably one of the kindest persons I know. She took really good care of her own two puppies, and handled my babies like a sweet loving pro. She is highly independent, a sensitive artist, and a multi-tasker. I'd trust her with any living soul. If one has the opportunity to hire her -- they've really 'made-out'. Oh yes, Betsy works her tail off. Thank you , Peggy K. Cross”

19. Isaih S.
“Hi! My name is Nathen Torres, I have had the privilege of knowing Isaih Scales for a little over 10 years. The first thing I can say is that, Isaih has been known to be a dog whisperer. He is an attention driven, kind hearted individual. Always pays attention to detail and any needs that may be in need. He has shown the ability to train his own do, on so many different commands. Isaih take's pride in loving and nurturing his pets, and any of his friends animals. I work a alot know and have little time to watch my puppy husky, which can be a handful. Bastian is 7months,i have had him since he was two months old. Bastian now listens to a few different commands, he is fully potty trained. I have had some put into it, but I could not have done any of it without Isaih's help and willingness to help out. I feel like I got a whole bunch of service's for free. Bastian was struggling with worms for 2 months, and after Isaih's suggestion to change Bastian's food. My puppy is pooping normal again and is full of energy. I would not leave me dog with anyone else besides Isaih and his dog T'challa. If you get to book this man, your pup/dog will be in the best care. Thank you!!”
