Dog Sitters in Annex, New-Haven

We love Paw Haven! I've been taking my pup here for over a year and I'm continuously impressed. The kind staff clearly care about all the pups and are looking out for them. Benny goes for camp a couple of days and week and I've boarded him on several occasions. He loves it and I can't imagine taking him anywhere else. They have an app to use for bookings and are overall great at communicating. 10/10 recommend!

Paw Haven has been a godsend for my high energy doggo. She walks in with excitement & walks out very tired. The staff is great! Friendly, kind, & always busting their butts to get the doggos out on time. You can really tell they love spending time with every pup! They give the best silly little updates. Would recommend over & over!

Rosie (3 year old Boston terrier) loves Paw Haven and has been going there since she was a puppy! Daycare or an overnight, Rosie can’t wait to go and always comes back a happy pup. Thanks to the Paw Haven family for taking great care of Rosie and for all the awesome pictures!!

My chocolate lab mix “Edmond” and husky “Sissy” have been going to Paw Haven (dog daycare) for at least a year now. They love the staff and the other dogs and they come home tired & happy. The facility itself is huge and beautiful and the prices are on par with or less than any doggy daycare you’d find in the area (I’ve done my research, trust me). The staff does cute activities for holidays and PH also offers grooming and boarding services which I haven’t yet used but it’s a nice option to have. Some other things I like: the facility has cameras, there is a quick response time should you have any questions and the interview/orientation process was simple and straightforward. There really aren’t many cons, the only time there was any confusion/issues was several months back when more staff was being hired and a lot of people were in training all at once (which is understandable). No issues since that brief window of time. I really love this facility and know they take good care of my favorite people - my pups.

I’ve sent my dog here several times over the past two years and have always been pleased with the experience! The staff are all very kind and my dog seems so happy when I come to pick her up. The livestream webcams are a huge plus and I love being able to check in on her watch her play while I’m away. They also periodically send photo updates of your pup during their stay. I’m moving from the area which is unfortunate because I’ve yet to have another boarding experience that rivals Paw Haven!

Paw Haven is honestly a dream come true! Our dog has a lot of energy. He needs an environment where he can burn it off in a safe capacity. He pulls my arm off when we get out of the car in the parking lot because he’s so excited to walk through the door. He loves his social time and spends all day running around, instead of sitting at home waiting for us to return. Later when he gets home he sleeps from that moment on through the ENTIRE night. Tired dogs are happy dogs and this rings true over and over again. Not to mention that we love the friendly staff, we get to “check-in” periodically to see him playing with his friends through Paw Haven’s camera system, AND at the end of every day we get a handful of adorable photos! I tell my husband all the time, daycare at Paw Haven is worth every single cent!

An exceptionally bad experience! We are traveling to the area for the holiday and when I first called I was told that they can accept our dogs for daycare after I create an account, uploade vaccine records and book a meet and greet. We did all of that, called back and was told we need to upload records of a fecal test, so I had to call my Vet in Michigan and get them to send me lab test, which I did and uploaded to their account. I called back only to be told they had not sorted out their interview policy for this week and they actually aren't accepting new dogs for daycare! I spent almost an hour and a half running around to do what they asked for after two separate calls with two separate people only to be told they weren't fully organized with their holiday week policy! How is this a business? Obviously poor operations if the management can't communicate to the employees fielding calls.

Our pups love their time at Paw Haven! When we board them, we get them a Luxury Suite that they can stay in together, and it has Live Webcams that we can use to check in on them throughout the day. We love the report cards and photo updates at the end of each night, and love the optional add-ons we can purchase to spoil the pups a little extra while we’re away.

Love this place! I know I can trust them with my pup whenever I leave him here. He always comes home so tired from a long day of play! Plus they always send me a report card of how he did that day along with pictures!! They make my day. It’s nice that they always make sure to keep you updated. The website also has a camera in the playrooms so you can check on your fur baby when you miss them. Not only that but some rooms have a camera so you can see your baby after the playroom camera goes off for the night. Really saved me and my husband when we went on vacation. I always recommend this place to my friends. Pawhaven is AMAZING. Id trust them with my real children if they took them too 😂attaching an adorable pic they took of my pup 🥹

My puppy Bruno LOVE pawhaven!!! He is staying for the week in boarding and he is so so happy there! Every time he walks in, he immediately starts jumping and barking with excitement! Absolutely bring your dog here if you need day care and/or boarding!

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....

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

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.

We love Shoreline Pet Lodge! More importantly, our beloved Capone loves it even more, and we are so happy with the care and loving attention he gets whether at daycare or being boarded. It’s so reassuring to have a place where we know he is safe and happy and gets to play and run around with his friends! The staff is wonderful and take great care with lots of TLC to their four legged friends. We highly recommend this wonderful place and are so thankful for it. Cyndie, Lisa & Capone

For the past three years Barbara and the team at Shoreline Pet Lodge have been wonderful for our lab Penny, and were so amazing when we needed their help! When our twin boys were born they spent two weeks in the NICU at Yale. Shoreline had Penny for those entire two weeks and I don’t think we could have gone through that time without them. The twins are perfectly healthy now, and Penny loves them almost as much as she loves going to daycare and seeing her friends at Shoreline. When Penny has a bad reaction to a spider bite while lodging at Shoreline, Barbara rushed her to the animal hospital on a Sunday and got her the best immediate care I could not. I was informed throughout the process and Penny could not have been in more capable hands. I would not hesitate to trust Shoreline Pet Lodge with your family’s pet, and I strongly recommend them for boarding or daycare.

Shoreline Pet Lodge is the best, they took care of my two beagles and during their stay I was able to extend it with no problems because my plans had changed. My girls had walks, play time and baths. Much more than other places that they stayed. The staff is friendly and caring, treat you like family. I don’t want to use anyone else ever again. 💕

My dog has been going to Shoreline Pet Lodge for three years now. She gets so excited once we turn that corner and knows she is going for a play date! I appreciate all the people there who take good care of my baby, I love seeing all the pictures of her while I am away and the new report card we receive at the end of the visit is always fun to get as well. I would definitely recommend Shoreline to my friends and family.

Our dog angel has gone their for boarding and day care. She loves going there. The staff is amazing and treats her well. I feel they treat her well like familly! Thanks to the staff for everything they do. Angel loves u!

Our Havanese, Pepper, has been a regular at the Shoreline Pet Lodge. Barbara and her staff have been wonderful with him , going above and beyond when necessary. Recently, Pepper had a health issue while under their care. Barbara took him to our Veterinarian for assessment and cared for him personally until we could pick him up. It is extraordinary in my experience to find such commitment and professionalism. It is with great pleasure that I recommend them highly. Randy Frankel

Our pets have stayed at Shoreline Pet Lodge for over 11 years. We most often use their boarding services and sometimes daycare. Our dogs get excited when they’re in the parking lot. The staff always remembers them by name and all seem to be genuinely happy to be working with animals. I also appreciate the pictures they post in their app so you get peace of mind your pet is doing well while you’re away.

Thank you Barbara and staff for always taking such good care of Bindi, our large breed French mastiff 130 lb girl - you all handle her well and she comes home happy. She’s been visiting the Shoreline Pet lodge for 9 years and we’ve not had a problem. We’ve had to leave her there two weeks plus, to go overseas to family and all was well other than a little homesickness….

We rescued our dog Louie last year. When we got him he was already a year old from Louisiana and didn't realize he has had a hard time with separation anxiety. The staff at Shoreline has been so caring and kind to Louie. They took the time to assess him so that he is comfortable and relaxed. He loves going there. The staff at Shoreline have been an integral part of Louie's growth and confidence. We love how they treat the dogs like family. Louie recently celebrated his 2nd birthday with his doggy friends with a photo op, playtime and treats! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe comfortable place to bring their dog.

We had a HORRIBLE experience with our dog staying at Shoreline Pet Lodge. They are not equipped to handle large breeds and were honestly afraid of our dog. He was there for a long weekend, and we got a phone call on the second day that they were having “trouble” with him. They had him in a very small area with a small doggie door to access the outside area. They were insistent that he wouldn’t come through the gate because he was aggressive, however it was simply because he wouldn’t fit! As a large dog, he doesn’t like crawling through spaces smaller than him. They lack of effort on their part to help our dog and make him feel comfortable was pathetic. They promised us he was eating and could use the bathroom, but when we picked him up he smelled horrible, like he had been laying in his pee and poop. We picked him up early, and the owner had the nerve to charge us full price. Our dog needed an immediate bath, peed in our house, and pooped 7 times within 12 hours of being home. Shoreline Pet Lodge ruined our vacation, because of the guilt we felt for our dog once we say how distraught he was. Our dog is not aggressive, at all. Shoreline Pet Lodge used his size as an excuse to be scared of him. Don’t take your big dog here- they are not able to handle them. Thank god our dog is home safe.

Carol is amazing. She is detail oriented in the best of ways, making sure to provide for our dog, Teddy, just as we would for him. Teddy is always happy when he realizes he is going to Carol's which makes it easy to travel and not be worried about our cuddliest family member. If you are looking for a responsible and professional care giver, who will walk, play, cuddle, and otherwise spoil your pet, look no further.

What a wonderful experience for our new puppy! Carol treated her as her own and gave her so much love and attention! We received daily photos and updates and felt completely at ease that our puppy was extremely well taken care of, safe, and most of all, happy!!!!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!
