“Tara did a great job stopping by to hang out with our dogs one night when we had to work late! Tara stayed with the dogs for an hour. They played fetch in the backyard, ate their dinner, and had some chill time on the couch. I absolutely trust Tara when giving her care instructions, and she made a late night at work easier with her updates and communicate. Thanks, Tara!”
“Carol was great! We got to meet in person before committing to any booking for drop in visits. She was friendly, communicative, and helped our two cats in every way we asked while we were out of town. She’s great, and we definitely look forward to her help in the future next time we are out of town. I would absolutely recommend her to any friends in need a sitter.”
About: Hi! my name is Kathryn and I am a very experienced and loving pet sitter. I co-owned a pet sitting business in NJ which I stopped when I moved to CT. I currently have 1 dog of my own, have fostered 3 dogs, and I have been experienced in pet care for over 15 years. I have experience with puppies and kittens, up to senior animals. I have fostered dogs with behavioral issues, so please know that I am reliable and trust worthy. Most importantly, I absolutely ADORE animals and my 'perfect job' would be to run a pet sitting business again. I work from home so I am very available to take the dogs out for potty breaks, on long walks, and play in the house! I do love to take my dog to the dog park at the end of the work day, but would only do that with yours if you were comfortable with it and I had your approval. I treat them like I would my own! With love and attention. I will make sure they feel comfortable in any environment and will speak with the owner prior to make sure they have the pet's requirements met
About: I have always held a passion for animals and am dedicated to providing them with the best care. In my care, I strive to be attentive to your pets individual wants and needs. I will always make sure to provide them with tons of interpersonal attention, and interactive outdoor/play time to stimulate their mind and senses. I have 2 years experience in the pet care industry, and care for my own pet cat as well. I have worked with a multitude of clients and their pets, including elderly dogs and dogs that require oral medication administration. I have only worked with dogs and cats, but would love to expand and have the opportunity to care for other animals as well. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! My schedule is very flexible, and I am available for pet sitting and dog walking any day of the week. Whatever is convenient for you and your pet! I will make sure your pet sticks to their schedule and routine, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable with their favorite toy, treat, or activity.
“Wendy was a wonderful,thoughtful caretaker of my fur baby. She asked great questions upon meeting my dog, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs in the family and am a volunteer at the local dog shelter in Stamford's Lucky Dog Refuge. I don't have pets of my own currently so that's why I volunteer and am on Rover so I can care for your pets like my own :) I do have a demanding full time job so I am available in the evenings as well as weekends to get my dose of playing and caring for your pets! Depending on proximity, if you are in the Old Greenwich area I may be available during the day. Great reason to get out of my home office - it's a win-win. In your home, I will care for your pet based on your specific needs and requirements outside of standard walking, feeding, watering and play time.
About: I’ve been a dog walker and sitter for a while and love helping pups feel happy and safe. I can help with potty training and simple commands like sit, stay, and good leash manners. I’ve also cared for senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. Besides dogs, I’ve taken care of cats and other small pets, making sure they’re fed, clean, and get some love while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family! I have a peekapoo named Gracie, so pet care is already part of my day! We do walks, playtime, and snuggle breaks, and I’m happy to fit your pet’s needs into my routine too. I’m flexible and love having extra furry friends around! I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I keep a clean, calm environment, and I’m mindful of each pet’s routine, including feeding times, walks, and any medication they need. I supervise outdoor time closely and take things slow if your pet needs time to adjust. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me.
About: I have worked with dog walking companies in the past where I gained experience in leash training, crate training, and potty training. I’ve worked with small, medium, and large dogs of all ages. I also speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I am available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule. I can do morning, daytime, and evening walks. I can board dogs throughout the week and weekends. I enjoy being around dogs. I love playing with them, taking them on walks/runs, and will make sure to give them the attention they need.
“Chase was responsible, timely, and had a great communication with every visit along with many pictures of a Chubbs! You can tell he is a really dog lover and treated our pup as if it was his own! Definitely will contact Chase again for any future needs!”
“Katie was amazing all around. She did everything I asked and took great care of my cats. I was anxious about leaving them for 6 days but she made me comfortable and allowed me not to worry during my vacation.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since having our first family dog when I was little. I trained our family dog to not only have discipline, but also do tricks! I recently trained my friend’s dog to do some fun tricks too. I love to give the pups all the attention and patience they deserve. I shared a cat all through college with my roommate and am familiar with cats needs. I currently have Friday-Sunday off so I’d love to board or do walks on the weekend. I’m also available in the mornings and evenings if walks are needed then. I live close to lots of walking paths and dog parks. It’s a great area to go on long walks or to the dog parks!

I will leave the household secured and your pet safe.
About: I’ve been walking and taking care of dogs since I was 15 and have loved every moment of it. I see dogs more as family then as pets, hence why then should be taken up with good care.

I understand how important it is to allow your pet to be left with someone you trust and can rely on, I am hoping to be that person for you and your pet!
About: I have had a small dog since I was 8 years old and will pamper yours as if it were my own! In college, I fostered dogs and regularly and volunteered at the animal shelter!

Walks are a must as well as playtime and cuddles!

I have a daily job, 10-4:30, but am available for drop ins and housing sitting before or after and fully available on most weekends! Excited I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and all animals really big and small. I can crate or cage any animal as well as care and feed, and I’ve always take good care of all my pets, be it two cats or a Maltese dog who was my brother growing up in and heart and soul or frogs who outlived the dog after being sold with 1 year care instructions and advertised as a starter animal with a 12 month lifespan. I’ll clean any water dispensers and refill as needed so the pet has that available, as well as food according to a care schedule and any other specific instructions as needed. I work in a sterile lab as a day job, I will bring the same level of sterility and cleanliness to your home and your animals safety and well-being (as needed, if an animals dirty and unruly and playful sometimes that’s just them! I’m great with all animals and all personality types and enjoy becoming friends with all animals.

“Sarah was excellent when it came to checking in on our two cats while my husband and I were away for the week. I get anxious leaving them and Sarah was very communicative/made me feel at ease. She sent tons of pics and lots of texts as to how they were doing so I could tell she was spending her time well here. She was even so kind and attentive as to take out the garbage! Highly recommend!!”

She is loving, patient and kind and is enthusiastic and fun loving which makes Zegen want to be with her all the more. I trust her 100% with not only my dog Zegen but with my cat and taking care of my home when I go away. She is a trustworthy college graduate whom I have known for years. Not only me but my friends as well have used her services and have been over the top happy in every single respect. 5 stars for Kathryn, 10 if it goes that high!”

She truly understands that pets are family, and she goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Next time I need help with my pets, I won’t hesitate to reach out to Michael!”
