About: I grew up with many dogs and cats, spending several summers on farms with horses, chickens, cows and pigs as well. Few things I find more enjoyable than observing animals' personality traits through play and social interaction, their unyielding honesty and loyalty is an amazing life connection. For the past 5 years I've been the proud dad to 3 huskies who've been instrumental in keeping me in shape, teaching me a whole new dog dialect and learning to always check my food for stray fur balls. I'm enthusiastic, personable, patient, and love nothing more than spending time with animals. We start off our days with a short 1.5 mile walk around the neighborhood, conveniently located very close to one of the Norwalk River Valley Trail entry points. Dogs are usually with me for a greater part of the day as my wife works in Greenwich. Very flexible on schedule up until 630PM (most days) but generally like to have the pack back home before 7PM for dinner and the evening follow up walk. We're usually walking around 4 miles per day at different places, have to keep the variety up! We have several crates (M, L, XL) and a wide variety of toys and chews. Two large padded mats and a doggy chaise lounge, as well as a dog hammock. Our dogs don't sleep in crates but are relegated to our living room area with gates during bedtime.

16. Mariana G.
“an animal lover, she take good care of my dog as if it were her own, very special, I recommend her 100% , I will definitely continue choosing her”
17. Sarah N.
“Sarah is an amazing pet sitter! She stayed overnight with our dog, Harley, who can be very anxious and is usually hard to settle. To our surprise, Harley had a calm and stress-free night, which speaks volumes about the care and attention Sarah provided. Her calm demeanor and love for animals really shine through. We are so grateful to have found someone as trustworthy and compassionate as Sarah. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets!”

About: I have been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, and they have always been a huge part of my life. I own a photography business where I specialize in capturing the unique personalities of dogs. Over the years, I’ve always had two family dogs, and I currently have a dog of my own who brings so much joy to my life. Recently, I’ve started training some of my family’s dogs, including the newest additions to my parents’ household. I’m also experienced in giving dogs their medications, even older dogs who can be a bit tricky—like one of my previous dogs who cleverly watched us try to hide pills in their food. I’m soon planning to pursue a degree in dog training to further expand my knowledge and skills. I have an open schedule other than when I’m walking and taking care of my own pup. Yours are welcome to join along our adventures! I will take care of your dog and clean if you want me to while I stay with your pup. We will go for walks, and dog parks if that is allowed, as well as lots of playtime, treats and a bath if needed!
19. Alexis S.
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
