About: I’ve had dogs growing up. As an adult I have had cats and dogs, many of whom had special needs. I have had two blind cats and cats and dogs with various chronic medical conditions. I also have a veterinary assistant certificate from Norwalk Community College and I have worked as a vet assistant. I am retired for now. This leaves me time to focus on your animals. I can do sleepovers as well as daily walks and home visits for cats. I cannot take pets in my home but can do walks and sleepovers in a clients home. If an owner has a fenced in yard and the dog likes going out in the yard I would go with the dog and not leave the dog unattended. If the dog is used to walks we would walk.

“Kevin and Ana came exactly when they said, walked my dogs and dried them off from the rain, and were very communicative.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cos Cob choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
