“Devora was very good watching our dog and other animals for four days while we were away. She came to our house three times per day to walk our dog and feed her at night. She is very good with all animals. Definitely recommend her.”
“Victoria is absolutely AMAZING! I feel so lucky to have found her. Gus is an older guy and means the absolute world to me, so I’m incredibly particular about who I trust with him. Victoria is kind, reliable, communicative, and so genuinely caring with him. I have complete peace of mind knowing Gus is in such wonderful hands. He absolutely adores her — and so do I! Could not recommend Victoria more highly! ❤️🐾”

I have my own cat and understand the nuances of pet care. • Trusted by Friends: I’ve provided pet sitting services for multiple friends in NYC while they traveled, ensuring their pets were happy and well-cared for. • Personal Touch: Your pet will receive personalized attention and care, just like my own. Contact me to ensure your pets are in good hands while you’re away! I work from home, so I can be flexible with my schedule. I am free on weekends, and during the week, I am available early in the morning, around 12:00 PM, and in the evenings. I will take care of your pet as if it were my own. Having been a nanny, I bring the same level of care and attention to pet sitting, treating my cat like my own child. Safety is my number one priority.
About: Hi everyone! My name is Kim A. and I am a passionate animal lover. I have cared for all different animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and even deer for over 50 years. I grew up spending my summer's on my grandfather's ranch, so animal care and the love of animals has been a part of my life since a very young age. I have had eight dogs in my lifetime, from golden retrievers to sheep dogs, to cocker spaniels to cockapoos and more. I've also had a lop eared rabbit, who roamed freely throughout my house and had his own personal fenced in garden! I treat all animals like family, even the wildlife that find their way into my backyard. I will treat your animal as part of my family as well. I cant wait to meet your loving family members! I’m available 24/7 to be with your pet.. when you book with me I only leave the home to get food and to run quick errands. I don’t board pets.I prefer staying in there environment.. it helps with separation anxiety and the pet feels safe while the family is away from home.
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and cats: big or small. I’m super active and love hiking and walking. I own a lovely Cockapoo, a Siberian cat and have two kids. I’m reliable, communicative and responsible. I’ve been working from home and I’m up early to take my dog for a run and feed my Siberian. Early mornings and weekend requests are no problem. I have a super flexible schedule and in case of conflicts, I can also reach out and offer my college-aged daughter, to cover so you don’t have to worry about finding another provider when I’m away. I provide updates on your pet care for your ease of mind. I do this work with my daughters simply because we love pets. We had many clients in Westchester, and just moved to CT.
About: Between 10 years of fostering dogs and assisting with Rover boarding, I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. This background taught me how to read body language, introduce pets safely, and help new or nervous dogs settle comfortably into a routine. My hands-on experience covers everything from puppyhood to the golden years. Having raised and trained my own dog from a puppy, I am very comfortable with early training foundations, structure, and positive reinforcement. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, administering medications, and managing attentive post-surgery recovery care with a gentle, patient approach. I treat every dog with the same dedication, comfort, and safety-first mindset I give my own. You can always count on prompt communication alongside frequent photo and video updates throughout the day, so you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Because I work part-time at Fairfield University, I have a ton of flexibility throughout the week. My Fridays through Mondays are completely open for house sitting and extended visits, while my mid-week schedule is easily adaptable for walks and drop-in check-ins. Pet care is a genuine priority in my day rather than something squeezed in. When I am caring for your dog, their daily rhythm for walks, meal times, play sessions, and plenty of cuddle breaks comes first. Your pup will get consistent company, regular potty breaks, and lots of dedicated attention. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping their normal routine as seamless and stress-free as possible. Staying in their familiar environment keeps anxiety low, so I strictly follow your specific feeding times, walking routes, and house rules. Safety and trust always come first. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert to our surroundings. In your home, I make sure doors and gates are properly secured, keep anything dangerous out of reach, and treat your living space with complete respect. You can always count on regular photo and video updates so you know both your pets and your home are in dependable hands.

About: I am an animal lover through and through! I grew up with both cats and dogs and now have a British longhair and 2 rescue kitties who are everything to me and a few adorable niece and nephew pups. Outside of my own and my family's pets, I have always helped out with friends, family, and neighbor's pets whether on vacation or just have a longer day out of the house. I love to go on long walks and play with dogs and am also very familiar with the complexities of cats and getting them to play and/or eat. I would love to help out with your pets and look forward to hearing about their needs!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Norwalk
These 2 ladies are excellent with their care and walks for my dog Frankie. They take the time to get to know her and what she likes. They communicate before they come and when they are walking her. They are timely and caring. They let me know when they are back from the walk. I will definitely use them again!
Alexis was so great with my dog while I was away. She coordinated with my MIL whose house he was staying in. She was very attentive to his health and safety. Most importantly my dog was always so excited to see her for his walks. I would absolutely love to work with her again - kind and trustworthy!
Jennifer has been absolutely wonderful with our dog. Our dog is always so happy to see her. We’ve also really appreciated how available and flexible she’s been, especially when we’ve needed help last minute. Its such a relief knowing we can count on someone who is so competent, safe, and dependable. We’re so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her!
We were SO lucky to have Emilia as our dog walker! She was flexible if we had to adjust the schedule, always left detailed reports after walks, was overly communicative, and our pup Willow always had the best time with her. We’re so sad to be moving out of the area and will no longer have her as our dog walker!!

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
