Aaron is great. He truly cares about animals and their well being. I trust him to come in my home and care for my dog. He understands Sarge's needs. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a dog walker. He always responds immediately when booking, is punctual and keeps me informed.

Ashley and Mauricio were wonderful with Emerson. They treated him like he was their own and made sure he had a fun, safe outing. He came back happy and tired in the best way. I really appreciated how kind and communicative they were throughout. I’d gladly have them take Emerson out again, highly recommended!

Nicole took the time to understand our dog’s needs, was punctual for the walk and communicative throughout. Ollie is typically very shy with others, but he’s already started warming up to her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker!

Absolutely awesome! Michelle walked our dog on short notice while we were in the hospital for our newborn. She provided so much relief by playing with him and loving on him so much. 10/10

My fur babies and I LOVE María. She takes her time to get to know my dogs, which was so important to me. And she understands dog body language. Most importantly, she’s gentle, kind, and empathetic towards me and my fur babies.. I’ve already rebooked for another week of walks. Thank you Maria, you’re the best!! :)

Alexa is terrific with our sometimes difficult dog. He loved her from the moment he met her! Alexa is extremely conscientious, keeping me updated on her arrival and departure and always checking his food and water before she leaves. And she takes the BEST pictures of their walks!

We couldn’t be more grateful for Stefanie! She has been a true life-saver, especially after we had our baby and needed extra help. Knowing we could count on her to take care of our dog, Astro, gave us such peace of mind during a busy and exhausting time. Astro absolutely loves his walks with her, and it’s clear Stefanie treats him like her own. She’s always on time, incredibly professional, and so caring. We feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely with Astro. Stefanie truly goes above and beyond, and we can’t recommend her highly enough!

Ally is a natural with dogs. She came to the meet and greet my Ollie immediately came over and sat next to her. He’s normally slower to greet people, but I’m sure he could sense that Ally is a genuine “dog person”. We’ll be seeing a lot more of eachother!

About: I’ve worked for shelters throughout college and fostered multiple cats, my longest foster was a year! I currently have three cats of my own, adopted from various shelters in NYC and all are super friendly! I’m very good at socializing cats for children friendly homes as well! I’m currently working full time, but I live across the street from my office. So I constantly have easy access to my cats or any fur baby in my home! My schedule is flexible during the week and I am also able to do overnight stays in areas around Stamford! I have a pet friendly apartment that is perfectly situated to house cats overnight or for a day! Fit with water fountains, toys, automatic feeders, and extra space is a cat needs some alone time. I also have multiple double sized litter boxes or a mini litter box situated in the bathroom. Lastly, I have a camera system to monitor the cats fitted with iOS notifications for any emergencies or alarms in the home.

About: I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my childhood dog was such an important part of my family, and ever since her passing, I’ve always felt a piece missing. While living in Florida, I began helping my mom at a local animal shelter by walking the dogs, and that experience only deepened my love and passion for caring for them. Since I work a full-time job, my availability during the week is somewhat limited. However, I am available for local dog walks in the mornings before work and again after work. I also have a very flexible schedule on weekends and am more than willing to work with you to find times that best fit your schedule. I am more than happy to meet your dog ahead of time before walking them just so they get a sense of my behavior and I can get an understanding of theirs. Sidenote: I do live in an apartment and due to my lease, I am unable to have them in my home.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’ve trained multiple puppies, cared for senior dogs, and have years of experience looking after cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always make sure each pet feels safe and loved. I currently work from home, so I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. At the moment, I’m not able to offer boarding, as my own pets may not adjust well to new animals in the home. My approach is calm and understanding. I like to respect each pet’s unique personality and habits. I don’t believe in being overly strict, but I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: My love of dogs led me to start a dog walking business when I was only 10 yrs old. Once I finally convinced my parents to get a dog, I was 15 and we ended up with two bichon-malteses who were the loves of my life. As an adult, my career has me traveling frequently so I haven’t become a pet owner, but I continue to dogsit for friends and neighbors because I love the companionship when I’m home. I am committed to providing your dog a comfortable home away from home where they will be well cared for and loved. I work from home Mondays and Fridays so can be available for care for a long weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon). My availability may be limited based on work travel. I live in a dog friendly building, where there is greenery and walking paths around the building for daily walks and enjoy going for longer walks in nearby parks.

Josh is everything you want in a dog walker. He is 100% reliable and he communicates often and promptly. And of course he loves pets and he will make sure that your pet is extremely well cared for. If you have any special instructions Josh will adhere to them perfectly. So if you hire Josh you will know that your pet is in excellent hands and you can have total peace of mind.
