“Elvia did an incredible job house sitting for our dog and cat! I had such peace of mind while away because she was punctual, communicative and great with our pets. She followed all instructions and had no problem giving pills to our cat. We came home to happy animals and a clean home. We look forward to booking her again!”
About: I've babysat for my aunts and grandparents dogs over the years. I love animals so much and hope to have plenty of them in the future! So I'm looking to get as much experience with all breeds as possible! I'm currently unemployed which means I'll have tons of availability and free-time to give your pets the best care possible! I also have a rotating sleep schedule so I'm usually available for all different times I take care of pets by keeping a close eye on them and consistently checking in on what they might need. With 3 pets of my own I'm used to constantly checking water, scheduled feedings, and making sure they get plenty of exercise
“I adopted Winston in December, so this was my first time going away while having a pup. Alison loved on Winston, making both him and me feel comfortable and confident that everything would be okay! He’s a quirky pup, and she made sure he had a blast and was well cared for. When he had a small issue with his food, she let me know right away, and we quickly figured it out together and after that, everything was fine. I so appreciated her caring nature and patience and felt incredibly lucky knowing he was happy and loved while I relaxed on my family vacation. I’m thrilled that Winston will get to spend time with Alison again during my first international trip in September!”
“Heather bonded with our dog right away! She has a lot of experience with dogs and house sitting, so I completely trusted her while we were away. I highly recommend her!”
“Nicole was absolutely positively fantastic with our two dogs. She watched them for over a week during the holidays while we were out of the country and took such special & good care of my pups. She sent lots of pictures, videos and updates to us and the dogs looked so happy to be with her. I can’t recommend Nicole more highly!!!! Will re-book many times in the future. 🙏🏼🐾♥️”
“Michelle and our dog, Meeko, are basically besties now!!! Michelle is a great sitter, we never worry when she is watching our dog, she is a great communicator, always cheerful and so trustworthy! Michelle is the best!”
“Wendy did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs - and my home - while we were gone for two weeks. She followed instructions about their different dietary needs, and took them to local parks for longer walks. Both dogs can be a bit anxious, but they got so much love and attention from Wendy and were calm and happy when we got home. I would highly recommend Wendy and will certainly use her again!”
“Frank is very easy to communicate with and professional. I also appreciated his flexibility and willingness to work with me and my last minute schedule changes. I’m sure Fez also had a great time with Frank!”
“Alyssa is absolutely amazing. She was so good with my little one. I was able to relax knowing she was in good hands and able to come home to a happy kitty.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 and I love it. Having 2 dogs of my own I know what it’s like to find quality pet care so I like to provide families with the relief of knowing their four-legged baby is being well taken care of! Through my experiences, I’ve learned how to be attentive to dogs cries, whines, whimpers, etc. and body language which helps me make sure they get what they need. I’m currently a college student and am home for the summer. I work at the grocery store 3 days a week so during those hours I wouldn’t be at the house but other than that I will be there! I can’t leave during work but as my hours are short, it has not interfered with my ability to tend to the dogs! I work with each pet parent to make sure I have all the details of the pet’s schedule. In my home, pets are always viewed as members of our family. I believe that pets require the same love and attention that people do so that’s what I share with my clients as well!
“Amber was great with my dog Mia, who can get a little anxious sometimes! She was super caring and I appreciated all the pictures and updates! Would definitely book with her again!”
“Cinthia was amazing. She stayed overnight with my dog at my apartment and was super attentive and sent lots of pictures. She left the apartment very clean and my dog very happy. Nothing but positive things to say.”
“Jessica was great with our Senior dog. She was prompt, followed all instructions. Most of all she really knows her stuff and seems to care about dogs. We came home to a happy pup and clean house. Will book Jessica again!”
About: I’m experienced, intuitive, kind, and gentle. I love the hyper, enthusiastic dog as well as the gentle and shy one. I also understand when a dog misses its owner, needs attention or is ill. I have just returned home to Connecticut from Texas and have a lot of open time while we get settled. My schedule is open and flexible for you. I will come to your house to let out, walk, feed or bathe your pup. If you are in Darien, New Canaan, or Norwalk I am a short distance away. I am very safety and health conscious with your pet. Many pets have separation anxiety when an owner leaves and it is important to keep a regular schedule for sweetie.
“Janine was wonderful with Archie! She came on short notice and took great care of our puppy! She sent pictures, kept us up to date on how he was doing (our first trip without him so we were anxious!) and was fantastic with Archie. Will be rebooking in the future and would recommend her to friends and family.”
“Raquel was more than we could have hoped for. She is kind and professional, caring for our two dogs for five days/four nights at our home. She sent so many photos of them eating, playing, and sleeping, and kept in communication with us the entire time. She is perfect! FIVE STARS!!!!!”
“Maria took great care of our German Shorthaired Pointed while we were away for 5 days. I greatly appreciated the daily photos of our pup. She has a true love for animals and treated our girl like her own - I would highly recommend Maria to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
About: I have never lived in a house without a dog. I have been dog walking and sitting for about 10 years now. I am able to take care of any dog based on breed, age or health conditions. I will take or your dog as if they are my own. I will also send you adorable pictures for you! I am able to dog sit or walk before or after work and all day on the weekends! However, I am very flexible and will discuss your needs with you to make sure the schedule works well for everyone! Although I do not take pets into my own home, your dogs safety in your house is top priority. I will ensure your pet(s) are always safe and will always recommend you leave your Vet’s information for me to easily locate in case of an emergency. You fur babies will always be in good hands!

kaitlin s.
“We have a 10YO Rhodesian mix and a 4 month old Great Dane. From the time we brought our first home, Kaitlin has been playful, loving, attentive and proud. In his later years, when she is home visiting, she is the first to jump in and help with his love and care and meds. In addition, she balances her time and attention between him and our new puppy. And I could not ask for a better partner with our new Dane. Her willingness to jump in and take over the new-parent responsibilities (crate training, feeding, outdoor time, sleep schedule, clean-up, etc.) highlights her love for dogs and a level of responsibility many of her peers haven’t reached yet.”

Rosa was an amazing and communicative dog sitter. Honestly we don’t know what we would have done without her! She boarded my senior dog who has a lot of medical issues and she did an amazing job taking care of him. Not a single issue and she even gave him a bath, washed his bed, and made sure everything was in good shape before picking him up. I will definitely book her again!

This was our first time using Kat and she was a wonderful dog sitter! She focused on Irie, took great care to remember our specific instructions, and asked just the right questions, and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. We look forward to working with Kat often in the future. :-)
We had an amazing experience with Janine! She took such great care of our dog, Shelby with lots of walks, love, and attention. She kept us updated regularly with pictures and let us know right away when Shelby had an upset stomach and didn’t eat breakfast, which we really appreciated. It was clear she genuinely cared about Shelby and wanted her to be happy and comfortable. She even took care of our leopard gecko and watered our plants while we were away! I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and caring sitter.
Amanda is awesome! She responded very well & understood my reactive dog. Followed directions to a T, making the whole process so easy! She sent lots of updates of my girl while I was away & took great care of her. 10/10, I recommend Amanda to anyone as she is super trustworthy, kind & patient.
I’m so grateful to have found Sarah to care for our dog Nash! From the initial meet and greet to the end of our trip, she has been an absolute pleasure and has truly gone above and beyond every step of the way. She stayed at our home for a long weekend and took absolutely wonderful care of both Nash and our house. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Sarah kept me updated throughout the stay, and I came home to a very happy pup and a spotless house. I can’t wait to book her again for all of our upcoming travel (and I know Nash will be excited too)—she’s truly a gem and I cannot recommend enough!
This was our first sit with Nathalie and she exceeded all expectations. She was more than happy to come over before the sit to meet us and our puppies. She asked all of the right questions and was great with our larger rescue puppy who has stranger danger. Nathalie provided updates on our two dogs while we were on vacation and photos. She is extremely responsive, polite, flexible and kind. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my 2 dogs in her care. We will absolutely be using Nathalie again !!
Amazing dog sitter for our 100+ pound Great Dane. Chloe took great care of our dog and house while we were away for a week. She gave updates, photos and was a great communicator all round. Highly recommended for house stays and walking. Will definitely use Chloe again.
I am so glad I found Josh. One of my dogs can be aggressive towards the other one, and it takes a lot of vigilance and management to deal with that problem. He handled everything perfectly while I was away, and was flexible about staying a little longer when my plane was delayed.
