About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 16. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I am comfortable taking dogs for long walks around the neighborhood or to the dog park, and I have stayed in home as a pet sitter. My family has a dog and I am involved in her care and play time on a daily basis. I have a very flexible schedule and have lots of time for your pup. I am available for late morning and afternoon walks and playtime. I have an energetic 60 pound dog. I am used to walking a strong dog and can easily handle a dog that may pull. I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood and/or play in your yard. I will work with whatever routine your dog is accustomed to.
About: Hi, I’m Lyanny! I have over 10 years of professional pet care experience with the privilege of caring for pets of all kinds. I am the Manager of Mew Haven Cat Cafe and directly work alongside our partner rescue’s farm with adoptable dogs, cats even rabbits! I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routines, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I adapt my care to what makes them happiest and love to send photos and videos so you don’t miss your fur baby too much! I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and treating every pet like family 💕 I work as a manager so I make my own schedule, my main job is also just a minute away so I’m flexible and able to pop in as much as needed. I’m never away for more than 4 hours at a time. I have a fenced balcony for rainy days or just wanted to hang outside safely. I do have gates that can block off the upper and lower level and adjust my space as needed. I adhere to make your pets stay as comfortable as possible
“Emily is amazing !! She was able to dog sit for us on Easter while we attended a wedding!! She communicated with us through out the day, sent pictures of Panda! We felt so at ease knowing Panda was in great hands!! We will definitely continue to use Emily!”

“Arabelle was a joy to work with! She was meticulous in her planning and knowing what needed to be done for Floki, plus making sure she had all emergency numbers and what to do in case of an emergency. She made sure Floki was was very well cared for while we were away and even brought him a new ball to play with! He was walked, fed on time and played with in our yard with frequent communications so that we could see all of the fun he was having. I would highly recommend Arabelle to anyone that needs overnight care or even daily check ins. She was just what we needed and expected for our fur family and will be using her again for future day trips and longer vacations!”

“Jen was great with our three pups! She was super responsive and a great communicator. She made sure to send lots of videos/pictures throughout the stay. The dogs seem to have really enjoyed her company :)”

“I was so impressed with Heather. She did a great job with my two furbabies (two small dogs). I was so nervous to leave them, but she took excellent care of them. She was commmunicative and responsive the entire stay. My younger dog can struggle to warm up to new people, but she was incredible with him- he clearly liked her a lot. Heather was also flexible about changing the booking dates around so that I could spend more time with my dying parent. It meant the world to me to be able to spend an extra day at home. She also kept the apartment clean and tidy and even washed the sheets for me. I was so grateful and appreciative for Heather’s help with my dogs while I was away. Would definitely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”


“Ellyana & Alexander went above and beyond to care for our beloved Frisby. Thank you! We had discussed some of Frisby's health issues before we left home but did not expect Ellyana to have to immediately deal (perfectly) with Frisby when she needed close care and attention. We got home asap to follow up and Frisby is ok. 5 stars plus to both Ellyana & Alexander plus taking care of all the basics of her care and special attention when she was ill.”

“Sophia was great with our dogs! One of our pups had some tummy troubles while we were away and she was especially a trooper for handling that for us! Would definitely recommend!”

About: My first “job” was dog sitting when I was in first grade. I included snuggling them every night in my promise to owners, and to this day nothing has changed. I work at the children’s hospital as a pediatric audiology extern from 7:30 am-6 pm every day. I would love to dog walk on weekday evenings and I am available to pet sit and dog walk on weekends. Pets’ safety is always the number one priority. With me, your pet will never be unattended or in dangerous situations. I also value other people’s space and home.
About: Dogs are like magnets to me. We just get along. I have volunteer and personal experience caring for and tending to dogs of all sizes and breeds. Hi! I am a full time pet sitter, my availability is open and extremely flexible including weekends! Any special requests? Just ask and we can work something out! I pay great attention to the care instructions provided by the pet owners and make sure my services match the same form of care and high regard.

About: I’ve had cats since I was 13 and have many years of hands-on experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs. I was able to help an older rescue cat become comfortable and affectionate over time, which taught me patience and how to build trust with shy or nervous cats. I currently have a tortie of my own, so I understand how important routines, playtime, and a calm environment are. I treat every cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time as a paraprofessional from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays and am currently earning my master’s degree in elementary education. I’m available for pet care visits in the late afternoons and evenings after 4:30 PM, as well as weekends and school breaks. For cat sitting, I’m happy to stay for extended visits and can sit with your cat while I complete my schoolwork so they have calm companionship and supervision while you’re away. My schedule is consistent and dependable, and I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable and on their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routines closely so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I provide feeding, litter box care, playtime, and calm companionship during visits. As a paraprofessional and graduate student in elementary education, I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to details and instructions. I also communicate regularly with updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe, cared for, and relaxed.
“Gabriela was our very first experience with overnight (multi-day) dog sitters outside of our immediate family and we could not have been happier! She came to visit us at our home prior to booking and sweet, calm demeanor put us right at ease. She was communicative the entire time- sending regular photos of walks, playtime and sleepytimes. She alerted us of any minor concerns and even kept up with a special diet and doggie eye drops! She was respectful of our home and left it tidy and even took her sheets off the bed and emptied the garbage. Our dogs were excited and clearly well cared for upon our return. We would not hesitate to book Gabriela again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Maya took great care of our senior dog and lively teenage pup for a weekend! They can be a handful together and she did great with them. We also gave her detailed information on how to care for them, and she followed them really well and kept our babies both safe and loved. We are very thankful for her help.”

“Archie was an amazing cat sitter for my two babies!! This is my first time using a pet sitter for my cats. I have a senior girl who was just recently diagnosed with IBD and requires a special diet and daily meds, and a rambunctious kitten who will do his darndest to be the cutest troublemaker you’ve ever met. Archie was amazing to work with, has extensive experience working with cats, and made me and my partner feel at ease! If you are looking for someone to watch over your feline friends, Archie is the best! I will definitely use them for future bookings.”
“Aidan did a wonderful job housesitting our pets! One of our dogs needed meds and he had no problem with that either. Our dogs were well cared for and our spot was spotless when we returned! Would recommend!”

“Karime was amazing! She accommodated a very last minute request and took great care of my girls while they were dealing with some serious allergies. She communicated consistently and promptly and also took note of when things seemed concerning. Great and caring sitter!”

Pauline is my most cherished dog sitter. She has watched my two dogs multiple times over the past two years and always does such a great job. She is so good with them. She gives them their medication without any problem, she takes them on long walks, and she is attentive to their needs. She is communicative with photo updates. She also keeps the apartment clean, takes the trash out, and washes the sheets. She really goes the extra mile. I’m so sad we’re moving away because I’m scared I won’t find anyone as good as Pauline. I’m grateful for how much she has helped me out while I’ve lived in New Haven.

Jassmyne continues to be our go to cat sitter for when we are out of town! She is so easy to communicate with and provides plenty of updates and pictures while we are gone. She’s super thoughtful and goes above and beyond to make sure not only our cat but also our home are both so well taken care of. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

When I had a night shift, Christopher came and took care of my dog, Honey, and did a spectacular job! He followed every direction/request without an issue, went above and beyond by offering to give Honey medication before he left, took photos promptly, and cuddled her when there was a bad thunderstorm, will book again!

Kat was an absolutely awesome dog sitter. My husband and I were looking for someone to stay in our home last minute and care for our dogs and Kat was immediately responsive and proactive. She was timely, followed instructions, provided updates throughout the day and the dogs were very well cared for. I would highly recommend Kat as a dog walker or dog sitter. We hope to work with her again!

I was so pleased with Joo’s ability to connect with my 2 dogs. Both are rescues and have specific needs: Lizzie is fearful and very anxious; Quigley was a stray—perhaps for years—and is house trained only when his human is home. She handled both of their needs with compassion and kindness. They warmed up to Joo quickly. Joo sent my photos and videos of my kids while I was away. It was obvious that they were having a really good time. That put my mind at ease and a smile on my face.

Veronica is amazing no other words can describe her. She house sat and took care of our little Luna. She was patient, caring and loving toward her and they became best friends really fast. She went on daily walks with Luna fed her exactly as instructed, played with her and really she was just exceptional. Before we returned and at the time that she was supposed to take off, there was an 1.5 hour interval, first of all she was happy to stay but we asked that she should not because it was very late at night and we wanted to make sure she gets home safe but when she was leaving our Luna she was so sad to see her leave that she was howling! At that point I had found a competition as I have been the only person Luna has howled for so that says a lot about how much Luna loved her. She respected our home and when we got back everything was as we left it. I would say she is exceptional and look no further if you need your dog happy and safe.

Leah is a wonderful dog/house sitter. She took amazing care of our lab retriever who requires long walks and lots of attention. He was very happy when we came home. She also was very respectful of our home. Overall very communicative and responsible. Can’t wait to work with her again. Highly recommend!!!! Thanks for everything Leah.

Karria was fantastic with Peewee! She kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and videos, was incredibly respectful of my home, and was overall a pleasure to communicate with. I felt completely comfortable leaving Peewee in her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!
