Cat Sitters in New Haven, CT

Josh and his team are amazing with our two dogs Mona and Sparky. They are both rescues with difficult behaviors. Josh was the only dog-walker that was willing to take on the challenge and help us to walk our pups. After one year we can’t be more happy with the teams service.

Josh has been taking care of our 3 cats for at least 7 years and does a wonderful job. We always have peace of mind knowing he is on the job so we can enjoy our vacation highly recommend him

Highly recommend Woodbridge Pet Sitting! The staff is great! We have been using their services for well over a year and they take great care of your animals. Our dog just loves them!

I am so happy I found Woodbridge Pet Sitting when I moved to the area. My energetic Labrador greets Joshua or another staff member at the front door with wags an bounces - everyone else he barks at until he sees you! I only know this because I was here unexpectedly one day and hat he got a visit, I also got to see how much attention he gets with ball throwing and just general affection. I’m pleased to have found a company to can trust my dog to!

They will take care of all your pets as if they were their own. Always prompt and professional. Willing to adjust to your needs and your pets! Also many years of experience so you can trust them.

Woodbridge Pet Sitting has been caring for our pets (and house) for the past 10 years. They are extremely reliable and go above and beyond (including driving to our house at 4 am to meet the fire department when a faulty smoke detector set off a false alarm). We had 2 senior cats with special needs and a cockatiel, given very good care by WBPS. After those beloved pets passed, WBPS has been visiting our 2 cats since their kitten hood whenever we are away. Our house is isolated and gets a lot of snow and ice, WBPS always comes thru for us. We never have to worry when we are on vacation. Wood Bridge Pet Sitting is the best!

We hired Josh from Woodbridge Pet Sitting because our dog was old and we didn't want to bring him to the kennel. We couldn't be happier with Josh's professionalism and the great care he gave to our dog.

Great service, We have used them for years! The dogs get super excited to see them and they are reliable, trustworthy . We highly recommend their service.

I highly recommend using this company for pet sitting. They are reliable and professional. I knew my dog was well taken care of when I used their services.

Josh & team are the best. Nelson was relaxed and comfy in his own home. Thankyou....

Luke is an amazing and reliable pet sitter. He’s catsit for us the past three years, and we trust him completely with our pet! Truly cant recommend him enough.

I have used Luke as my cat sitter for my two cats for the past two years. He is always very responsive and flexible with his schedule (e.g., picking up/dropping off keys). He is great at following instructions (one of my cats has GI issues and her diet is constantly changing) and always sends me photos of the cats while I am away, which I really appreciate. He also brings in packages and mail while I am away, which is also very helpful. I highly recommend Luke!

My husband and I hired Strider Pet Care to look after our cat while we took a long trip. Before we left, Luke took the time to get to know our cat, her food and water setup, and asked thoughtful questions about her care. While there are tech-enabled solutions available for keeping our cat fed and watered, there is no substitute for cuddles and companionship, which Luke was fantastic at providing! He sent photos every day so we knew she was well looked after. I would absolutely recommend Strider Pet Care of East Rock to anyone. You can't go wrong!

I've used Strider Pet Care for nearly 6 months, and Luke is great with my 65+lb rescue dog! Even with a very strong young pup I knew he was in great hands and got text and/or photo updates every time he was being housesat or walked! The flexibility and reliability were unparalleled and I'm so glad we found Strider when we did :)

Luke is a really fantastic, reliable, organized cat sitter :) He is very flexible and ready to come visit the cats, even when my schedule is a bit crazy and I ask for help with very little notice. I really appreciate his flexibility and reliability. The cats really enjoy his visits!

Luke is fantastic. He keeps me updated about how my cat is doing with pictures, and seems to genuinely like him. I really appreciate having someone I know I can trust my pet with.

Luke has been amazing with my two dogs! Luke is consistently reliable and very communicative related to the services provided of the day with updates. I’m glad to have found Luke!

Love animals then this is the place go for it

Gina is very responsible, always on time and checks in with updates. She is very reliable so I never have to worry about my girls getting great care and attention on their walks!

Gina is the best! Extremely professional, conscientious, and caring. She is by far our favorite of the many cat sitters we have used over the years. Our cats love her, and we love getting updates from Gina about how they are doing when we are away. While it's never fun to leave our fur babies, it's much easier knowing that they are in such good hands. All of which is to say, we recommend Gina unreservedly. Just make sure to book in advance because her schedule gets busy, particularly around the holidays.

NHPSC is excellent! Gina is kind, reliable, and clearly communicates. We’re so thankful that Gina cares for our kitties when we can’t!

Gina has been taking care of our cat Nico whenever we head out of town over the last 5 years and we couldn’t be happier! She makes sure that daily pet care tasks get handled, but also makes sure to spend quality time playing with and providing enrichment to Nico. She’s great about staying in touch, and sends pictures and updates when she visits each day. I couldn’t recommend her services more highly. Your pet will be in good hands!

Gina has been helping to take care of my cats for almost 2 years now. She is super communicative and professional, she understands my anxiety in leaving my cats at home by themselves and she is always sending details, beautiful photos, and updates to make sure I know what is going on and don't worry while I'm away. My shy cats love her and she even takes care of my plants while I'm away. We are so lucky to have her!

Gina is the best! She is conscientious and loving with our pets. She gives a daily update with pictures! I always feel better going out of town knowing that Gina is taking care of the cat.

Gina has watched our cat for at least six years. Very trustworthy, responsive, and her care for pets is absolute. She also has been more than happy to help with other home matters that arise while we are away. Highly recommend.

Gina cares deeply about our cat Pesto and we trust her completely to go above and beyond in taking care of him when we are away!

Gina was very professional, and we'd definitely recommend her! She was very candid and transparent up front, so we knew what we were getting, and didn't need to worry. She took great care of our cats, sending us daily updates and pictures. More than just feeding and cleaning up after our pets, she clearly cared for them and got to know them, too! Thanks, Gina!

I can't recommend New Haven Pet Sitting highly enough. Gina truly cares for pets as if they're her own. She meets them beforehand, treats them each as individuals, playing with them and cuddling, depending on their needs. I've had her come care for my two cats often this past year, and I've always had complete confidence that they're in the best hands. Last summer one of my cats became ill in my absence, and Gina took pictures and went to the ER and sat with him, conferencing with me and the vet while at the office as we decided what to do. She gave him his medication every few hours according to the doctor's specifications, and even had a friend come when she couldn't. I am tremendously grateful to have found her.

Erica has been caring for my pup Cleo for over two years now and is just the best. She's reliable, professional, and goes above and beyond to try and accommodate even last-minute requests. Erica is very attentive and always lets me know if something seems off with my dog (stomach issues, etc.). She also gives recommendations without being asked, which I appreciate given her extensive expertise. Cleo absolutely loves her too!

Erica is fantastic and a life saver! We were fortunate to recently adopt a 2 1/2 year old bulldog, Maisie. She had been in a shelter for over six months, so she is still a bit skittish around new people. Maisie has adjusted well in our home, but we had two long planned trips that we hadn't thought about, that's when Erica saved the day! She was able to come to our home and care for Maisie while we were away. Maisie loves her walks with Erica! Knowing Erica was taking good care of her reduced our anxiety about being away for Maisie.

My dogs have unique care requirements. Erica didn't miss a beat and took wonderful care of our two dogs. We will continue to use them for every vacation. Editing to update post. Erica continues to provide wonderful care for our two Jack Russells.

Erica did a fantastic job caring for our cats. The best part was being able to see photos and news of them on her Facebook page. Especially appreciated her being available on holidays and on short notice. Will definitely be a repeat customer!

Erica is amazing and I’m so glad I found her! She takes such good care of our boy Baxter. We have had Bax there for day care and more recently for overnights and for the first time I am not worried about him while we are away! She posts pics and sends updates which we love and he gets so excited when we pull down the street. That is the ultimate test and compliment in my eyes. He truly loves being there. We would definitely recommend Erica and we are already repeat customers. There is no one else I trust to watch our boy more than her!!

Erica is a wonderful pet sitter! She takes excellent care of our two kitties, who hate to leave the house so Erica visits them in our home. One of our kitties is very social and the other is very shy, and Erica makes extra effort to connect with the shy kitty, being sure to leave treats and catnip where she will get them. She sends pictures (and sometimes video) of both kitties, and checks in regularly by text to let us know she’s been in and how the kitties are doing. Erica has been caring for our kitties for about a year and we feel totally at ease knowing they are under her care while we’re away. We are so glad to have found her!

This was the first time we ever left the care of our 3 cats to a “stranger”. Erica came over, met all of us, took notes, and was friendly, yet professional. Two of our cats require medication, one of which is medicated every 12 hours and is clever at hiding. This was no problem for Erica! Erica was great at keeping in touch with me over the week sending photos & updates. She also responded quickly to my texts with questions & changes. Upon return our home felt normal, as if we never left. Although there was some grumbling amongst the felines inquiring as to what I did with Erica! Cats! 😺

I'm so happy that we used Scratch 'N Sniff while we went away on vacation. Our dog has a lot of anxiety and taking him with us wasn't an option for this trip. Erica was super accommodating. She was able to make visits to our house so Rocky would be comfortable in his normal environment. She was able to give him his medication, which typically is difficult with him. We were given frequent updates and pictures to make sure we were at ease and knew he was doing well. She even brought in our mail and watered our flowers for us. We will definitely be using this pet service for any trips we take in the future.

Erica does a phenomenal job with your family's pets! We know that when our pup needs somewhere to go that Erica is reliable, professional, and provides high quality service. We never worry about our dog when she is in Erica's care...she is treated like a member of the family. We love that our dog loves going there to see her friends. We HIGHLY recommend Scratch 'N Sniff!

Recently got married and needed someone to watch our dog Blue for a few days, Erica is always the first to pop in mind! Her professionalism and great care for our pup is unmatched! She constantly posts pictures during his stay on her facebook page and keeps us updated with texts. Highly recommend and will use again and again

This was our first time using a dog sitter so we were a little nervous but Devorah was wonderful. She took great care of our two dogs, one of whom has terrible separation anxiety. She sent pics of them throughout the day and we could see they were having a good time and were in good hands. You can tell she cares deeply for her charges. We would definitely use Devorah again!

Devorah is so wonderful, and I don't know what I would do without her! It is rare to find someone so dedicated to bringing joy and fun to your dog's life. Rain or shine, she picks up my dog and brings him, with some other neighborhood doggie friends, to hike at a nearby state park or run about in a backyard. He comes back from these play dates tired and happy. She is extremely flexible and understanding about changing schedules. I trust her completely with my dog and with the keys to my apartment, and she is always willing to help out with whatever we need - including watering my plants when I'm gone, or bringing my mail inside. I could not recommend her more for any dog walking, pet sitting, or house sitting needs!

I cannot possibly praise Devorah more highly-- she is kind, reliable, trustworthy, personable, and very knowledgeable about dogs. She has been very understanding about our hectic and ever-changing schedule, and she sends pictures and updates from our dog's many adventures with her. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone who needs pet care!

Devorah was a wonderful cat sitter for our two cats! This was our first time going away on vacation and leaving them home alone. Though we missed them a lot, we were comforted to know that they were in such good hands for the week. Before leaving, Dev asked us some very thoughtful questions about each of the cats’ preferences such as; what their favorite toys were and how they liked to play, if they enjoyed being cuddled or pet, and even if they would like to listen to music or podcasts to keep them company while we were gone. Dev gave us daily text updates detailing her interactions with our more outgoing cat and included pictures as well. She also checked on our cat that hid during most visits to make sure she was okay and assured us that the air in the house was a comfortable temperature amidst the summer heat. We would definitely use Devorah if we needed her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any of our friends. She was dependable, caring, and communicative; a purrfect sitter for our kitties :)

You can not get a better Pet Sitter in the whole of 20 mile radius who would really really love pets like the way Devorah does. She took care of my dog seems like forever. Everytime she comes in Octo goes and runs to her and is always so happy to see her. For all the months that I have known her, she has brought smile back to a Beagle named Luna who I never saw smiling in the past 10 months suddenly started smiling 3 months ago since she had starting walking her everyday. She even does great pet sitting and her only priority is to keep the puppies happy. She says she is living her dream. Am glad she is in our life taking care of Octo when am gone for a trip or something,.. All her pets love her!! Highkly Recommended !

Dev is great. Extremely reliable and thoughtful. She went out of her way to visit our two cats when there was difficulty accessing our apartment building. She genuinely cared about our pets, and everyone elses. 10/10 would recommend.

I don’t trust just anyone with my dogs. But I thoroughly trust New Haven Dog Walker. Thoughtful, attentive, trustworthy and super knowledgeable about how to handle dogs and make them feel comfortable and keep them safe in my absence. I highly recommend with no qualms!

Hira had an amazing first day at Bark Avenue! Audrey at the desk was amazing answering our questions and assuring us our puppy was having a great first day when we called and at pickup! They were amazing in answering any questions that were asked and she even sent us a photo to confirm our dog was having a blast! 🐾We cant wait to come back for another play day for doggy daycare again!

We love Bark Avenue & more importantly our dog, Newman does too! The facility is very clean, staff is very friendly & helpful. Newman is kept very busy during the day and has a blast. They take theme pictures, which are adorable. We would definitely recommend this place for your dog. Mary & Daryle Pataky

Bo loves Bark Avenue. The facility is immaculate and the staff is friendly, professional and knowledgeable🐾 …

Our dog Lou has been going to Bark Ave for nearly 8 years - home away from home for our doggie! A lovely crew bringing a great space for the pets to let loose and hang for the day -or- have a second home when they need to be boarded. Thanks for everything, Bark Avenue!

Bark Avenue is by far the best day care for your cat. 🐈‍⬛. Staff were awesome. We left our little boy Oliver for 7 days and left feeling so calm knowing he was getting the best care ever. Please if anyone needs a daycare for your Cat or dog do not hesitate to contact Bark Avenue. So happy I found such an amazing place. Keep up the good work 👏👏👏👏👏♥️ Thank you so much! Sandy & Steve

I love bringing my dog here whenever we are away. ESPECIALLY love that there is a person there overnight unlike a lot of boarding/kennels/daycare centers. MaryBeth is absolutely wonderful with all pets especially rescues.

Bark Avenue goes above and beyond to create a stimulating and comfortable space for our dogs. The accommodations are spacious, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. They have plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs and play freely. I can't thank them enough for providing such a remarkable experience for my dog Wyatt. If you're looking for a dog boarding place that exceeds expectations in every way imaginable, Bark Avenue is undoubtedly the place to go. I wholeheartedly recommend them!

My husband and I bring our dog Ollie here. We LOVE Bark Ave! They’re so nice, easy to work with, and truly love animals! Ollie loves going to daycare and staying overnight! It’s such a relief to know he’s in good hands when he’s not with us. We also love that there is always someone there overnight. We trust Bark Ave and recommend them to everybody we know.

My dog Shanti loves Bark Avenue! She comes home tired, happy… Not only are they so great for daycare, They’ll also bathe her and clip her nails. Having bark Avenue available for doggy Daycare has been a game changer when life gets busy. I don’t have to leave my dog home alone and be sad about her being bored, or lonely. She stays socialized, she plays,… Highly recommend!

The Staff is extremely nice and welcoming. Fair prices. Video feed available to watch the dogs in live time. My dog gets extremely excited when we pull up which tells me all I need to know.

Our dog has been attending Dogtopia in Milford since they opened. We could not be happier with this choice. They love our dog and treat him as if he was one of their own. The canine coaches understand Dallas quirks and personality. Dogtopia does so many fun theme days and art projects. It's clean and bright and webcams are easily accessible to peek in on your dog throughout the day.

**Amazing Care and Fun for Dogs!** Dogtopia has been a wonderful experience for both me and my dog! The staff is incredibly professional, caring, and attentive, ensuring every dog feels loved and safe. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this is a place where dogs come first. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and designed to provide a fun and stimulating environment. My dog loves the open play areas, and I love being able to check in on the webcams to see her having the time of her life with other dogs! It's clear that the dogs are always supervised and treated with care. The staff at Dogtopia also pays close attention to each dog's individual needs. They took the time to understand my dog's personality and made sure she was comfortable from day one. The grooming services are top-notch too, and I always pick up a happy, well-cared-for dog at the end of the day. Whether it's for daycare, boarding, or grooming, I know my dog is in great hands at Dogtopia. Highly recommend for any dog owner who wants peace of mind while their dog has a blast! --- Feel free to adjust based on your personal experience!

I love this place! They have provided an amiable and reliable environment so we can finally leave our pup there for days while traveling without worrying about his health and happiness. My dog always comes home clean and neat and loves going back there! The live cameras are a huge relief, and we enjoy watching the pup play around with his tail wagging all day long.🥰

We are so happy with Dogtopia! The facilities are new and well kept, with ample indoor and outdoor space for the puppies to play. The hours are great for working dog parents and the app with webcams makes it easy to check in on your dog if you’re so inclined. The staff is really incredible, so friendly, accommodating and very dog-loving! There’s nothing more heartwarming than to catch the canine coaches petting the happy doggies throughout the day on camera! Can’t say enough good things!

My dog Reed loves going to Dogtopia! He pulls me to the door and whines in the lobby until he gets to see his friends. When we first started bringing him there we noticed they didn’t open the door to the outside area in his room, so the dogs wouldn’t get to go out and play (due to one dog being a turf eater). I do feel like I wasted a few days of my daycare package due to this, but after speaking to the manager Owen, it was corrected. They moved him into a room that better suited his energy and play style and now Reed couldn’t be happier, a room that also keeps the door to the outside open nearly 24/7. The employees are very nice there and the facility is very clean. The Dogtopia app isn’t the best, it freezes a lot. When it does work, I love to check on him and see him play. The pricing is very competitive and they offer memberships and packages that other locations don’t offer. Overall, I do recommend!

my girls LOVE it here. Not only do they have very reasonable rates but all the staff are warm and friendly to us and the pups. They have a ton of options including boarding and spa for the girls as we need it and they have optional add on activies. And there is a video feed for when we check in on them during the day and see them playing. Cannot reccomend this place enough.

My dog Lincoln has been going to Dogtopia of Milford for about a year (boarding and daycare) and he LOVES it. I love it too! The staff is super friendly and I know when Lincoln is there that he’s safe and having a great time. It’s clean, the playrooms aren’t over populated and I love that Lincoln can play both inside and outside during the day. The events calendar is great too. I highly recommend Dogtopia of Milford!

Whether it’s a half-day or a few days of boarding, we never have to worry about Rudy when she’s at Dogtopia. She is treated exceptionally well, gets to romp with the other dogs, and comes home fulfilled. We wholeheartedly recommend Dogtopia to anyone considering bring their pooch there

Very few things get Maverick as excited as he gets when we turn onto Quirk Rd to head to Dogtopia. He recognizes it immediately, and gives the biggest excited stomps and tail wags. When we walk in he is so excited to get back there he doesn't even turn to say goodbye. This place is amazing. Dogtopia is responsive, always answer the phone, always have fun and exciting treats and activities available. Occasionally Maverick will come home with an art project or something fun for us. Have tried other day cares and do not get anywhere near the same level of excitement from our dog. Highly highly recommend.

I highly recommend it to any Dog owner looking for a place other than to just board your dog at a kennel. It’s great there. It’s really like A daycare, but for dogs, they even have activities and all sorts of other things and the prices are so reasonable

I love Sarah's Pet Sitting for taking care of my fur babies when I am away. I am extremely fortunate that they have sitters who can take care of guinea pigs, because many pet sitting services do not. All of the sitters we've had have carefully followed the instructions for their care. The service request process is straightforward and rates are reasonable. I also love the reports that they send for each visit that generally includes pictures and a short video. And it's clear that the sitters who come to my house really love and care about animals. My piggies have gotten used to their sitters. And often come up to them looking for food and begging for treats. I know this is a service I can trust and will continue to use as long as I have piggies and live in Connecticut!

My family is very happy with Sarah’s pet sitting service! We recently went away and had them watch our 3 dogs. The detailed notes for each visit along with the pictures of our boys made us feel at ease they were being well taken care of. So easy to book and communicate with! Highly recommend.

From dog walking to training Sarah's is top notch. No one wants to need someone else take care of their pets, but Sarah's is the only service I trust. My silly rescue pup loves his walker and they have built a great bond. With their help I am also making huge strides in training my guy with positive means only. I recommend them to anyone.

They are the best. They take the time to get to know your pets. They then report back and send pictures after every visit and include updates of what they did during their visit (empty litter box, filled their treat ball etc.). You schedule each visit within a 2 hour window, so your pets get to eat at the same time they are used to eating. Great easy to use app to update pet profiles, request what you want done for each visit, and pay. I have tried other sitters (friends, neighbors etc) and never quite knew what was going on, or came hours late. I will never again use anyone else. If you want peace of mind while you are away, these are the folks!

Sarah's Pet Sitting provides a great service for those of us that can’t bring our pets on travels. After each service visit I got an update on how my dog was doing (eating, drinking, bathroom, general mood and behavior) and which activities took place. It was personalized, so I knew there was a lot of genuine interaction with my dog. And it included photos of my dog being his best self. Highly impressed, much relieved, and will use again.

A++ service. I am a U.S. Army Veteran and local Police Officer. Sarah's Pet Sitting took care of my three dogs with lots of love ❤️. I will use Sarah's Pet Sitting again, they were trust worthy, professional, and truly showed they cared for my dogs. Communication on the web portal was A+ as they sent messages and pictures at every visit. Jess, Paul, and Tatiana words can't describe how satisfied I am with your professionalism. Thank You.

Staff that has been looking after our fur babies are awesome..both my babies luv each one of them. They never failed to shower my babies tender loving care. Im always at ease everytime i leave my babies with them. Thanks to Paul, Tatiana and Angelique. Kobi and Sophie luvs u sooo much!!

I am writing this as both a client and an employee. I can’t imagine trusting my dogs with anyone other than the folks at Sarah’s! When we got married, we were so thankful for Katelyn and the attention she gave our boys (who are never away from us for more than a few hours)! As a sitter myself, I absolutely love working for Sarah’s! I love every single client I work with, can’t tell you how much I love this job, and it’s the highlight of my day to be with everyone’s amazing fur-babies! I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them all sorts of love, affection, and good conversation! I know that this treatment towards pets goes for all of Sarah’s sitters too, which is why I am both a sitter and a client! The administration staff is supportive, professional, and caring for both pets and employees. As an adult with a wide experience of employment , a couple of degrees, and an array of hobbies, this is, hands down, the most enjoyable job I’ve ever had!

I’ve been using Sarah’s for almost 2yrs and I honestly can’t recommend them enough! Their staff is so sweet, the pet portal is super thorough and user friendly. They even send photos of your fur babies after every visit, which is my favorite part! I also really appreciate that, Sarah’s requires, you to meet the pet sitters in person prior to your first pet sitting. I had never used a pet sitting service so I was kinda worried about strangers watching my cats. But they have great vibes and really take care of your pets like they are their own. So happy I found them! They really make going on vacation worry free as it should be.☺️

Thanks so much to Melissa at Sarah’s Pet Sitting! She is caring and compassionate as are all the staff at Sarah’s. We know that when we are out ,our pup Thor is in very good hands!

We've utilized Four Paws services during our last two vacations to care for our two cats and our turtles. They have provided excellent service in every way - they leave detailed notes for each visit and always respond quickly and cheerfully to any e-mails or special instructions. Our cats can be a bit leery of strangers, so it's nice to see (via the visit notes) that both warmed up to Diane and Gary by the second or third visit. We won't hesitate to contact them the next time we are going to be out of town - their rates are very reasonable and you couldn't ask for better service. UPDATE: It's now nine years later, and we still call on Four Paws and a Biscuit whenever we need someone to care for our (many, many) cats when we're out of town. The service is still excellent and reasonably-priced, and they still leave detailed notes for every visit (even when most of our scaredy-cats won't come out to see them) - really couldn't ask for more.

My dogs have loved both Gary and Michele at 4 Paws. I trust them very much. They treat my dogs well, are aware of safety (ie wrapping the leash so the dog does not get away) and treat my home well when they come. They have my highest recommendation.
