About: I had a dog since I was in 2nd grade, for around 15 years. I have experience in young puppy care and senior dog care. Just getting into the Rover business, but eager of learn and would love to help! So I’m currently a 3rd Resident Physician at the hospital, so I do have more time on weekends to do sit ins and walks. I miss having a dog and taking care of one so this is my way to give back! I also can do late night sit ins or walks after my shift which usually ends at 630pm. I have an apartment with a doggy park and a pet cleaning and bathing area. The doggy park is fenced with toys and water. I’m great at following instructions and will take great caution and care in others home.

“Gabriela was great! She was super adaptable and stopped over on such short notice to meet Steve the night before we needed a walker. She handled all of our needs, kept us updated on everything and provided pictures of her walk with Steve! She did a great job and we know Steve had fun on his walk. We highly recommend Gabriela and we will be using her again in the future”

About: After years of for-friends & word of mouth dog & catsitting I'm making the jump to pro! I have a relatively open schedule & love to travel..my apartment in New Haven doesn't allow animals so this is how I get pet time in! I work for myself doing mostly gig stuff so am flexible when it comes to timing for potty breaks etc, & am not limited much geographically I've yet to meet a pet I didn't connect w & traveling the world I've learned a healthy respect for other's spaces while staying at their properties

About: I can’t remember a time when a dog wasn’t in my life. I love pups and I can love yours too! Taking dogs on walks and taking care of them throughout the day, I will be able to create a bond and relationship with your pup to give them the stimulate they need throughout the day. I trained my now 7 year old mixed lab, who was not an easy puppy; but through much consistency in training she is a well behaved dog who can walk on leash very well and listen to 10+ commands. I grew up with German Shepherds as well, so plenty of experience with big dogs. In high school, I volunteered over 50 hours at our local animal shelter, finding myself walking dogs, cleaning their kennels, giving them food and doing the 24/7 care for them I’m a current student in university so in between classes throughout the days I am available to give your pooch a nice walk and breeze from the great outdoors. I go at the pace of the dog and always carry poop bags and water in need of rest. I will be sure to give plenty of snuggles and affection to your pup! I can also double leash when walking in case of emergencies if the client wishes.

About: I have been the primary person responsible for my family's dogs, cat, and fish since high school. This includes walks, grooming, vet visits, nutrition, basic puppy training, etc. I have experience with both large and small dogs, including seniors and puppies. I know how to change aquarium water and do maintenance as well. As a graduate student, my classes vary day to day, so pet care will also depend on specific hourly availability. I am located near science hill. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to offer in-house pet sitting at this moment as I am living in a shared house with a no pet policy.

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 am an experienced pet sitter who has cared after both cats and dogs over the last 8 years. Through either personal favors for loved ones in my life or paid opportunities, I give all animals the time, energy and attention they thrive off of (which sometimes can be a less-is-more situation)! I will strive to make it a stress-free experience for both you and your little one! I do request that we have a Meet & Greet before finalizing bookings to ensure your I can get all relevant information and learn about the pet I'll be looking after. If I seem like a good fit we can get a booking finalized, I will be consistent with messages and updates for you, as well as enrichment and care for the furry friend! For the time being, my schedule is largely open after September 9th. Let me know what your ideal pet sitting situation looks like and I can likely accommodate. I am happy to follow the rules and routines you have set for your pets. I don't have any of my own and would prefer to keep animals at their place of residence for their comfort. If I know an animal and they are comfortable with me, I would reconsider for future sittings after an initial experience.

About: I have taken care of dogs from a young age, I started dog sitting at the age of 12 for family friends. Recently I got a dog myself that is a Havanese puddle, her name is Lily and I adore her and miss her so much since she is back home. I have always had dogs as a part of my life and want to continue this by helping people with their own dogs here. Pet care fits into my schedule either weekly or daily depending on what is being asked. On Mondays, I can help after 2 pm. As for Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am pretty busy. But on Wednesdays and Fridays I have a really flexible schedule. At home, I care for my dog by walking, feeding, grooming, and playing with her as much as possible. I think it is very important to make sure that dogs have long walks and have amplitudes of playing time, which I think I am able to do with my own dog.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments since I was 18. Now working in the medical side, I am able to make sure pets get their medications (including insulin) appropriately. I am mostly able to care for pets during the weekends or at nights. My work schedule at the veterinarian keeps me busy during the weekdays. I am unfortunately not able to offer pet care at my personal home. I am more than willing to travel to a clients house to care for their pets in their most comfortable environment.

About: I started dog walking in college, which naturally expanded to sitting. Other than the feeling of getting my degree, taking care of those sweet pets made my experience so pleasant. Community members have trusted me to not only make sure their pets are properly looked after, but that they make a new friend too. Befriending new animals is why I love this job! I have recently completed an MFA in Stage Management at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale and, now have plenty of time to take pups on walks or do sittings. I'm generally free most afternoons and evenings, with occasional morning availability. I am very attentive to a pet's needs, and will make sure to give them the love they want (and know when to back off if they'd rather be alone). Unfortunately I am not currently offering boarding for furry friends. Before visits/sitting I'd prefer to meet beforehand, to get used to the space and aquainted with the pet's routine.

Grace was wonderful with Kali while we were away! Kali is 12 years old, so it was important to us that she was with someone she felt comfortable and relaxed around. It was obvious that Kali felt completely at ease with Grace, which gave us peace of mind while we were gone. We were very pleased with the entire experience and would absolutely trust Grace to care for Kali again. Highly recommend!

Where do I begin, Lizzy was amazing…I had hip replacement surgery and Lizzy walked my boy Jack for over 2 weeks. Lizzy was easy to work with and made it easy for me to recover from my surgery and not stress on caring for Jack. She would feed him after his morning walk and doled out treats following his afternoon & evening walks. I have already referred several people in my building to Lizzy. I didn’t want to tell her but she she definitely be charging more 🤣 If you need a trustworthy person to care for your Furr babies then Lizzy is your girl.
