Dog Walking in Wooster Square, New Haven, CT

About: I use empathy to connect with the animals, which allows me to build a bond - that's why there is an angry toothless chihuahua that considers me part of the family even though I'm just a parent's friend. My schedule is very flexible, so I will easily adjust my morning/afternoon/evening to make sure that your fur-child has exceptional care and all the necessary attention I will ensure that all the messes are cleaned up, you'll be informed of anything that might be happening between visits or if anything happens that concerns me. You'll have a detailed report on what I do to provide perfect care for your baby and a picture of them (should they wish to interact)

“Our dog can be very shy and nervous around new people, but with Melissa, she felt comfortable from the very beginning. It was incredible. It feels so good to have someone you can trust. Thank you, Meli.”

“Thank you so much for taking lucky on a walk!!! He looks like he had so much fun with you, and I really appreciate how you went above and beyond to refill his water, clean his paws, and help get him back in his cone post-surgery. We can’t wait til next time :)”

“Patty was great! I utilized her for walking mine and my roommate’s dogs. She responded quickly, was flexible with my situation, took good care of the pups, sent some lovely photos of them from their walk. Would definitely use her again.”

About: I have experience caring for big and small dogs, cats, rabbits, and bearded dragons. I grew up with a dog who had occasional seizures - so I am comfortable administering oral medications and dealing with high stress situations. Pet Drop In's / Walks: I work from home in East Rock so I am available to do pet drop-in’s and walks most days (mornings, afternoons, and evenings) and can adapt to the schedule that works best for you and your pet! I prefer to meet your pet and learn more about their routine before caring for them. I will give your animal the care and level of attention that they prefer - whether that’s long walks with your energetic pups, putting out food and not disturbing your shy cat, or monitoring your rabbit as they get some free time to hop around!

About: Dogs love me, I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I talk to them in a baby voice like they’re the kid I never had…or maybe it’s the pupperoni treat that’s been forgotten in my pocket for two months. I’ve cared for the family dog/s while growing up from the age of 8 to 25 (including playing, walking, picking up the poo, training to sit/stay/come/play dead/shake, swimming and chasing squirrels together). I’m really good with dogs. Nah, I’m GREAT with dogs! If cats are you jam, I single-handedly loved and cared for two at the same time. Cat One was a challenging gal who was a selfish, particular, mean-spirited, chubby princess. I kept this diva alive for 18-years with no thanks or gratitude. I suspect she lived so long out of pure spite. Her step sister, Cat Two I loved for 16-years. She was a purebred Persian (ie: I know how to brush). She actually acted more like a friendly dog really, so maybe she doesn’t count under my cat experience? I work from home, ten hour shifts M-Th from 7am to 5-ish. I can take breaks during the day for feeding, walks or a little pettin’/pee break. I score higher than a kite on the Big Five personality traits under ‘conscientiousness’. Your fur darlin’ and belongings are safe with me. We’ll laugh, we’ll play, we’ll have quality petting time.

About: Hi! My name is Jasie. I am working full-time in healthcare and from home (which gives me lots of flexibility)! Animals bring me so much joy and I love meeting new ones anywhere I go. I am coming back from a break from the app, as I had some years to spend with my roommate’s two lovely cats but they’ve now moved away and I’d love to make some new neighborhood friends! Right now I will focus my business on caring for cats. I have experience with special needs dogs and cats (meds, extra food prep). When you want to spend some time away from home and don’t want to leave your animals alone or even just want some time to yourself, I would love to take care of them! I work from home so have plenty of flexibility to care on dogs and cats, especially dogs when potty time is more needed than usual. I can play with them as I take breaks from work as well! I can crate a dog or cat if needed. I am very careful and like to make sure your pets are in my view from wherever I am most of the time. If I have to leave, I’ll make sure they can’t find trouble!

“Very sweet and pays attention to detail! Got along really well with my pup!”

About: I’ve had several large breed dogs since I was a child. I am comfortable handling dogs that pull and are like little tanks. My rottie used to stop and sniff everything, and he set our pace on walks. I’m an adjunct English professor, so I can also help your pets with their college admission essays.I am open all summer, but will be teaching in the evenings this fall. I can’t currently care for your pets in my apartment, because my cats said no, but I will be respectful and careful in your home.

About: I have been pet sitting and boarding through middle school, high school, and now through medical school. Whether it's caring for energetic puppies who need extra attention and playtime or providing gentle support for senior dogs with mobility issues, I tailor my approach to each pet's unique needs. 100% of clients will receive photos of their furry friend in my care. My personal commitment goes beyond just basic care—I prioritize building a bond with each pet, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. A majority of my schooling is online so I have a very flexible schedule for walks, home visits, etc. I am free on weekends as well. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I maintain a secure environment by following all instructions closely, keeping doors/ gates locked, and ensuring your pet is always supervised. I strive to build trust with your furry friend through patience and positive reinforcement. I also stick to your pet’s regular routines, including feeding, walking, and playtime schedules, to minimize stress. With each visit, I treat your home with the utmost respect, leaving it just as I found it (or tidier, if needed).

“Azeen looked after our yellow lab while we were on vacation. She was terrific. She walked him twice a day, took him swimming, dried him off, and looked after his needs. She even helped with our pool, and turned on our AC on the final day. I highly recommend her, and would not hesitate to use her again. She's also very friendly”

“Super helpful, thank you!”

About: I have 6 years of dog walking and cat sitting experience. I'm used to taking care of dogs of all sizes as well as puppies and their various needs. I just moved to New Haven and I'm looking to start caring for pets here! I will treat your pet the way I would treat my own and would make sure to care for them in a responsible manner. As a pet owner myself, I know how important responsible care is. I have two cats, so I totally understand the concerns when hiring a new person to care for your loved pet! Due to my cats, I'm not able to accept boarders at the moment, other than one small-medium dog (who is fine with cats) for weekends only. I am a local graduate student so I apologize in advance if I can't make certain requested times. I can't wait to work with you and your lovely pets! I am a full-time graduate student but have a flexible schedule. I do not have a car so would only be able to service requests in New Haven. I'm well aware of environmental risks associated with dogs and cats. I'm overly cautious about windows expecially with cats. In addition, I'm responsible with the environment that either puppies or kittens occupy; to not leave food around or small objects/threads that they may mistakenly ingest.

About: Hello! I grew up taking care of dogs and cats. Neighbors and friends have always trusted me to take great care of their pets. I love all animals and I have experience with many different types of breeds and ages. I have been using Rover for a few years now and really enjoy it :) Currently, I am available during the week or weekends to dog/house sit. I am a grad student so I have some flexibility and I can adapt to your dogs needs! I am extremely responsible when taking care of your pets. I will always ensure they are always treated with love and care. Your baby will be in good hands with me!
