Top rated Darien house sitters


“Elvia was excellent with our mini-goldendoodle who doesn’t like most sitters. She played with him and sent us great photos. She is dependable and asked a lot of questions that showed she cared about our pet. We definitely use her again!”


“WOW! Brandi was the BEST fit for my fur baby, Chaka. Brandi is an excellent caregiver, kind, patient, she followed our routine, took extra time and care to make sure that my anxious puppy was comfortable and got plenty of exercise, cuddles and playtime. I have never had a dog sitter take better care of my dog. Typically when I hire a sitter, they take her outside on a quick walk and just bring her back inside, but Brandi went above and beyond! She spent the entire day keeping her company and updated me with photos and videos of their adventures together around the house and at the park. I was blown away by her care and expertise. As far as Chaka and I are concerned, Brandi is family now and I am absolutely booking her again.”


“Nicole is a wonderful pet/house sitter! She communicates with us daily and shares photos of our dog frequently! She is trustworthy, and will leave your home neat and clean! Highly recommend!”


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

“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!”


“Frank was very communicative with me and attentive with our shy pup. This was our first time with Frank sitting for the day and I was completely at ease and will definitely be booking him again in the future!”


About: Hi! My name is Keira, and I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds my entire life. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior and currently work as an animal caretaker at my local nature center. I have hands-on experience with everything from daily pet care to administering medications when needed. Whether you’re looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, or just someone who genuinely loves animals—I’m here to help. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority! I have my own pets as well including a dog, cats, bird, chickens, gerbil, etc. I have some experience in grooming and training if you would like any extra services let me know! I currently work part time at my local nature center 9am-2pm, 4 out of 7 days a week. Not long hours so I am able to walk dogs earlier and right after work. Or come back after work to pet sit if needed. At an owners house I would ask the pet parent what they think would be best but at my own house I have a big backyard to play with any dogs in my care (leashed or off leash). Any food provided will be fed by instruction and if medicine is needed to be given I can assist with that as well. Always fresh water nearby for any fur baby in my care.

“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!”


About: I have a huge passion for dogs and know the struggle of work/life/pup balance. I have had two rescue pitties in my life and worked closely with dog trainers and skill classes to learn new techniques. I have two nephews and love to have them teaching dogs! I am self employed so I have a flexible schedule throughout the day, I also have the ability to work from home when needed incase I believe in positive reinforcement and also care. I have two nephews and I consider pets to be treated just like them! I will dedicate time to make sure the pets are acclimated to the environment

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.”


About: Hi! My name is Rachel and I am a lifelong animal lover. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or walk time, I treat every pet like my own. I am ready to keep your pets happy while you're away! I am a teacher in graduate school looking for part-time work this Summer. I am free for the Summer aside from two vacations. June 18-June 23 and July 19-26.

I always strive to care for my clients pets as if they were still taking care of them. I am happy to keep up with specific schedules and routines to help animals feel comfortable while their owner is gone.

“Jessica was absolutely amazing at housesitting and taking care of our babies. She communicates wonderfully, sends tons of questions, is able to solve problems without freaking out, and doesn’t hesitate to let you know if things happen. We absolutely loved having her watch our dogs, it made going on vacation less stressful knowing they were with her!”


“Highly recommend Shannon, she was so easy to communicate with, took care of our sweet dog as if she was her own, send updates throughout the day and was generally wonderful. Our dog was happy and calm at the end of every day she spent with Shannon. So grateful for Shannon and excited to work with her again!”

“Patricia stayed in our apartment overnight to watch our animals for two nights and she provided the best care for them!

Daniel C.
“Truly my go to when I need someone to walk and or/petsit my dog. He is not only extremely loving with my Pitbull but makes sure to follow my requests regarding correcting her behavior. I leave my dog knowing he’ll upkeep her training and when I return she’s in great shape. Daniel is cautious and diligent in watching my sweet girl and I trust him wholeheartedly.”


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.”

Rachel N.
“Rachel is always our go-to person to watch our cats. She is very responsive when we reach out, and you can just tell she has a soft spot for animals. Rachel is responsible, caring, and puts the extra effort in to send us pictures of the cats and keep us updated. Rachel has helped us on many occasions, even for several days at a time, and we couldn’t recommend her enough!”
