“We used John a second time for a long term board and as usual he was great! He is incredibly attentive to the care of our dogs and also keeps in touch throughout, sending videos and updates at just the right frequency so we never feel out of touch with our furry family.”


“Tina and her husband took wonderful care of my Lucy. They were quick to respond/schedule a meet and greet and were very receptive of all of Lucy’s personality quirks. They were flexible with drop off/pick up, provided great updates, and were very communicative. Lucy will definitely be back!”


“Wendy truly went above and beyond for us! She graciously accepted our last-minute request during a time when we were in desperate need (due to our friends suddenly becoming unavailable). From the moment we connected, Wendy’s warmth, kindness, and consideration ensured us that our pups were in great hands! We are grateful to have found someone so genuinely dedicated and dependable, especially on such short notice! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”


“Lindsey was exceptional! We were away for over two weeks, and our dog had the best time staying at her home with her dogs. She provided great updates, and it was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Lindsey is truly passionate about caring for dogs, and it shows in every detail. We will absolutely be rebooking!”


“Stephanie was such a fabulous pet sitter for our 2 black labs. We felt so at ease while we were away knowing our dogs were in very capable and caring hands. We will definitely be using Stephanie again:)”


“Frank did an exceptional job taking care of our puppy. On the way home, she shared how attentive (her words!!!) and caring he is. He even has a magical way of creating an open parking space right when it's time to drop her off. Highly recommend Frank for taking care of your fur baby : )”


“Wonderful with our little old girl . Took great care of her and sent adorable pics letting us know how she was doing during her stay. Responds quickly to texts which is a plus ! Highly recommend and will definitely use again for our puppers !”



“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”


“If our pup could write this review herself, it would be full of tail wags! She had the best time with Nicole and her sweet pups, Chloe and Bella! They became fast friends for endless playtime. She was spoiled with chew toys, treats, snuggles, hugs, and kisses, and we got daily photos, videos, and sweet updates so we could share in the fun from afar. We could tell she felt completely loved and right at home! We would definitely book with Nicole again!”



“Sully got lots of love and attention at Rosediane's house. He was happy and calm when I arrived to pick him up. That speaks volumes about the care he received. High marks for this sitter!!”


“As an anxious dog mom who gets nervous leaving my guy, I would recommend Lindsay to anyone I know! My pup instantly loved spending time with Lindsay and I could tell when I picked him up, he was so happy. I received pictures and videos with updates all weekend which allowed me to actually enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands! We will 100% always take our guy to Lindsay whenever we need someone to watch him! Lindsay was incredible!!”


About: Animals are my passion! I have cared for other peoples dogs and cats all of my life along with my own. The care and love I provide are boundless. I have a very special place in my heart for senior dogs who need so much in order to live their lives happily and fully, and I have a lot of experience with sick, injured and special needs dogs. I should have been a vet - people tell me that often. In short, I will give your dog(s) the very best care they can get! My schedule changes weekly, but I will always work around my and your dogs needs. I am usually at home all day and try to never leave my dog or yours alone. They will come with me in my car (weather permitting - never in the heat) as I believe change of scenery provides necessary stimulation and fun. Your dog will be treated like mine - with the utmost care, attention and love. My dog and her happiness is the highest priority in my life.

“We are the “parents” of an 11 year old English Cocker Spaniel. Gunner is great fun and a wonderful traveler, so we rarely leave him behind. In his advancing years, Gunner developed some health issues . . . all managed really well with supplements. However, his meal and supplement regimen is somewhat involved, so we were quite anxious to leave him with just anyone. But after reading Pablo’s dog savvy history, we felt that he might be a good match for our Gunner. When Pablo mentioned to me that “in our home, dogs come first . . . humans come second,” I was impressed! So, we decided to book the dates. We left Gunner for the long weekend and were very pleased to find that Gunner came back a very happy, healthy boy. He enjoyed being part of Pablo’s “pack!” Pablo has a real knack with dogs . . . and his home is set up for the convenience and comfort of the dogs under his care. Gunner was able to sleep anywhere he wanted . . . all of the furniture is covered with blankets. The back yard is fenced and there’s a lot of room for the dogs to run around and play. Although Gunner will be accompanying us on most of our travels, we will use Pablo when that won’t be possible. Also, it will be great to just leave him there for a night every now and then so that we can be freed up to do some day trips. Thank you, Pablo, for providing such loving care of our boy! ”


“Dana took excellent care of my dog Milo while we were away! She sent pictures and frequent updates. She was easy to communicate with and catered to all of my dog’s needs. I felt very comfortable and will definitely use Dana again for future stays. I highly recommend her!”


About: I have grown up with dogs in the family and am a volunteer at the local dog shelter in Stamford's Lucky Dog Refuge. I don't have pets of my own currently so that's why I volunteer and am on Rover so I can care for your pets like my own :) I do have a demanding full time job so I am available in the evenings as well as weekends to get my dose of playing and caring for your pets! Depending on proximity, if you are in the Old Greenwich area I may be available during the day. Great reason to get out of my home office - it's a win-win. In your home, I will care for your pet based on your specific needs and requirements outside of standard walking, feeding, watering and play time.

Pamela B.
“Pammie Borman is among the most responsible, caring and capable woman I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. When my life is over I wish to come back as one of Pams pets. She’s always been known among her fiends as our dog whisper. Her love and knowledge of what makes our pets tick enable her to responsibly and proficiently be in control of any dog or dogs assigned to her care. Our doggies need fun and exercise. Whiteout a doubt , you can feel confident that Pammie will provide the best for your pet. With confidence I highly recommend Pammie Borman. She’s quite a find”
