“Jason was great with our animals. He sent some photos and kept in touch letting us know how everything was going and how sweet our pets were for him. We hope to be able to book him again in the future.”
About: I’ve always grown up with a dog in the family. I understand the connection piece with dogs and find great joy in spending more time with them than humans at times. I raised my own pup from 14 years old and intend to spread my love for more as it fills my heart to be with dogs and make a difference along the way. I’m pretty flexible! I have an open and flexible schedule. I can do overnights, and long hours of catering to your pet if need be so they don’t get lonely. I always love a good walk in nature and witnessing them play without rushing the experience. I talk to dogs like humans and even teach them a few tricks I taught my own pup. I make sure they feel loved and entertained and love keeping busy. I’m very attentive to time scheduling so when they need to go out again or eat, I make sure all is handled. I also give lots and lots of love.
“Patricia was wonderful from the very first contact! She was willing to help us with everything, and we had a peaceful trip thanks to the way she cared for our dog, Milo. we were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Patricia is definitely a kind and lovely person, and our dog loved being around her. His anxiety was much better, and we felt much more at ease.”
“Tara was amazing! She took care of our 3 dogs (all different sizes and breed) with much care and attention. She is an animal lover and you can tell. We highly recommend her and will be using again.”
“Kayla was wonderful with my babies while I was away. She communicted with me the whole time, sent photos and even left gifts for them! This was my first time leaving my animals with a stranger and it went better than expected.”
“Jen was absolutely fantastic! We did a house sitting and she was extremely conscientious and communicative. Dusty is a high energy, rascal of a dog and she was so great with him. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Aliyah did an amazing job housesitting our dog and two kittens while we were away. She sent a bunch of great photos and did a very good job communicating with us - and reaching out when she had questions or needed to update us. In particular, our dog was feeling a bit "off" at one point, and she took extra care to get him back on track. We returned from our trip to a happy, healthy dog and kittens that were still up to their old tricks - and a clean home that had clearly been taken care of while we were away. I really appreciated all that Aliyah did and would highly recommend her!”
“I would highly recommend Jolene as your pet sitter. This was our first time using Rover. Having a stranger stay at our house and take care of our dogs made us very nervous , but after meeting with her a few times I felt more at ease with her. She asked all the right questions, she was very professional and my dogs took to her immediately. She did exactly what we needed her to do which included giving one of my dogs medication and a brushing because of a skin issue. She kept in touch with us, sent pictures and she left our house spotless, without a trace that she was there. She even asked where my vacuum cleaner was to make sure all dog hair was cleaned up before we got home. I am very pleased with our experience with her and would use her again. Thanks Jolene!!!”
“Jordan is amazing! She took great care of our 9-month old Golden, Hallie, while we were away for the weekend. It was our first time leaving her, but Jordan immediately put our minds at ease. She sent regular updates and pictures, kept Hallie on her routine, and gave her lots of snuggles! Beyond that, Jordan took great care of our home - everything was left exactly as she found it. We would absolutely have Jordan back anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter.”
About: I have experience with all dogs sizes, especially large breeds. I watched my childhood dogs go from puppies to seniors. From this, I’m able to administer medicine. I currently work from home remotely, so it is very flexible for me. With my current houses, I am able to bring my laptop and work there to allow no interruptions into your pet’s daily routine I care for your pets as if they were my own. When I’m in your home, I tried to make it as if I was never there to allow you to feel fully relaxed up upon coming home from your time away.
About: Nice to meet you! I go by my middle name, Amelia. I'm a local physician (with many years of animal care experience) who is looking to pet-sit or house-sit in the Danbury area. I am honest, responsible and attentive. I love playing/walking/jogging with dogs, enjoy some more peaceful time with cats. If you have horses that need care, please let me know as well (I used to care for 30 horses)! I have experience giving medicine, feeding new puppies, caring for older pets etc. I'm open to caring for any kind of pet, so long as the situation is safe for everyone involved. I am very punctual and respectful. I am a good listener and follow directions well. Gigs within 15min drive of Danbury hospital will take precedence unless I specify otherwise here as my sched changes. During the week, 6am-7am and 5pm-9pm is walking availability for individual dog walks and drop ins. Essentially full availability for house-sitting (this is where I shine most)! I work locally, usually in Danbury. I will take excellent care of your pets and/or your home. I am very conscientious about ensuring gates/doors are locked, and that your instructions are followed.
“Hugo was reliable and took great care of our dog. He stayed in our home, played with, fed, and walked Mihali. He made sure she felt loved for over a week while we were away. We would definitely use him again. Thanks Hugo!”
About: I'm very patient with animals. I love spending time with them. I often pet sit for people in my social circle and enjoy it very much. I work from home 3 days a week. I'd be happy to spend my work day keeping your pet company during your work day away from home. I follow the wants of the pet parent. Whether it be no more than 2 goodies a day. Make sure they get some fresh air and snuggles.

Before she even cared for Baby Roscoe, she took time out of her schedule to do a meet and greet with me at my home. She asked all the right questions about my dog's health, eating habits, walking times, dog food, medicine, etc. During her stay at my home, Lyn took very good care of my dog and even helped me out with checking daily mail and receiving packages. She's is really an outstanding pet sitter. So, please don't hesitate to call her if you need a pet sitter. ”
