“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!”


“Great repeat experience. The house is in great condition and the dogs are relaxed and happy when we come home. They really seem to enjoy their time with her. Will definitely book again.”


“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!”


“Alison watched our dog for the day and was very communicative and took care of all of his needs! This was her first time sitting for us and it was a bit of a last minute request - but we’ll definitely be booking her in the future!”


“Nicole is a pro! She is calm and caring and my dogs were happy and relaxed. She is a very good communicator in planning a stay and during the stay. We had a good meet and greet and she kept in touch every day while I was away. She listened carefully to all details for meds and other needs. She took such good care of the dogs and my home. I will definitely recontact her in future and highly recommend her as a pet and house sitter.”


“Amazing! Can’t thank you enough- above and beyond my expectations! I booked last minute labor weekend Vacation and Cinthia was able to not just accommodate the stay but also to come and meet and Greet. Justin has a very high Anxiety level without treating any Medication, An escape artist and very Suspicious.. It was great the way he clicked with Cinthia and felt comfortable she kept sending pictures and descriptions of the day. Highly recommended❤️?”


“Jess was wonderful! She came very last minute to our home to take our dog out three times on Thanksgiving, and saved our own holiday as we had to leave for an entire day, and would never leave our dog alone for so many hours. Thank you Jess for being so dedicated and flexible!”


“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!”


“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!”


“Alyssa is absolutely wonderful with my pup Miley. She's watched her a few times and she always works around my schedule which is so appreciated! I receive picture updates and know she's in great hands with Alyssa. Thank you!”


“Janine was everything we hoped for! We have full trust in her taking care of our animals. Our dog is very high energy, and she exercised her more than we ever expected. Our dog loves her. She was also so good with our cats, and one of them is very difficult to please. She also left our home very clean. Will definitely be using her services again! The best. Thank you Janine!”


“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!”


“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’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 am also experienced with cats, reptiles, birds and house management. I have just returned home to Connecticut from Texas and looking to share my love and attention with your pet. My schedule is very flexible and I will accommodate yours. I will come to your house to let out, walk, feed or bathe your pup. If you are in Darien, Stamford, or Greenwich, 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.

“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. :-)”


About: I have always been a dog lover/owner. Currently have 2 mixed breed dogs (5 and 3 years old). Have dealt with puppies to senior dogs. I do dog walking and pet sitting around my kids school and activity schedules. I’m pretty open during the weekdays. I also have some availability on weekends. Will give your dog the attention they deserve on their walk. They will return happy and well exercised. Will follow any training routines you are actively working on.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, looking after puppies, adults, and seniors. I understand their needs based on their energy, age, and personality, whether it’s a gentle walk for older dogs or a sprint with active pups. Friends and neighbors trust me to babysit their dogs while they work or travel, knowing I’ll keep them safe, happy, and loved. I love walking, practicing tricks with dogs in training, and spending quality time with furry friends. Your dog’s safety is my priority—I’m mindful of weather conditions, avoid risks, and always communicate about treats, routes, or special instructions. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a task; it’s truly a joy. I work from home two days a week and am usually home on weekends. My job is flexible, allowing me to take breaks during the day, which I love using for refreshing walks—especially with a dog by my side. I can also babysit dogs while working from home, as my apartment allows pets. I don’t have roommates, and my husband loves dogs just as much (if not more) than I do, so your pup will get plenty of love and attention in a calm, pet-friendly environment. I currently don’t have dogs of my own, as my pups live with my mom, so I truly miss spending time with furry friends and would love to care for yours. In my apartment, your pet will have enough space to rest and play indoors. I live less than 400 feet from a dog park, and the neighborhood is perfect for dog walking, giving your pup the chance to explore and get fresh air. My husband also works from home, so together we’ll keep a close eye on your furry friend, ensuring they’re happy, safe, and loved. If I’m caring for your pet at your home, I’ll adapt to their routine and the space they’re familiar with. Depending on the length of the stay, I’ll make sure they’re walked, given attention, and engaged in light training or play. For longer periods, I’m happy to work remotely from your location to provide consistent companionship and care.

“Wonderful!! Katie is so kind and has the calmest demeanor. As soon as we did a meet and greet I felt so comfortable leaning my dog Sophie in her care. Katie provided photos and in depth updates so I had nothing to worry about! Great communicator and do easy to work with. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be using her again!”

Katia L.
“atia has been an absolute lifesaver when it comes to caring for Puki while I travel for work. Puki has some hip issues and needs extra patience, love, and attention, and Katia provides all of that and more. The longest Puki has stayed with Katia was two weeks, and I couldn’t have been more at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Katia treats Puki like one of her own, ensuring she’s comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. I’m so grateful to have someone as trustworthy and compassionate as Katia to look after Puki. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is not only safe but also genuinely loved while I’m away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
