Pet Sitting in New Canaan

“Violeta did an excellent job with our cats while my husband and I were away for the holidays. She’s responsive, attentive and my cats were in good spirits. I highly recommend her services!”

“The best! Chloe loves dogs and dogs love her. Our dog Lily has always been so excited to see her. She knows she'll get a lot of attention - playtime, down time. Chloe not only has a way with dogs, she's also has a deep sense of responsibility about her job. She arrives on time and watches over our dog with loving care. We couldn't ask for more.”

“Accepted with only 2 days notice, was very thoughtful taking away the toy he shredded so he wouldn’t shred further, and left me a few pictures. Will absolutely have her come by in the future”

“Jackie was wonderful with our dogs. They have a lot of energy and she was able to master them. Feed them let them out no problems, really happy to be able to go out for the day and know that they were in such good hands with Jackie.”

“Sydney could not be a more responsible and loving dog caregiver. Not only has she grown up with dogs, she also seeks out exposure every chance she gets. I have known her for 12 years, and she could not be more patient or empathetic. The dogs that I have seen Sydney interact with the most have been her own, many of which were behaviorally very difficult and from abused backgrounds, as well as mine, two very high-energy boxers. She can seamlessly accommodate animals on both ends of the spectrum, both timid and extroverted, and knows how to handle a wide range of behaviors. Sydney is also incredibly responsible and hard-working. She was promoted within six months of starting her first job, and she never lets anything fall through the cracks. She has a calm temperament, a love for animals, and an immense sense of responsibility, and there is no one I could think of that would be a better Rover sitter.”

“Kenisha was amazing! I was traveling overseas for 11 nights and needed someone to come in to check on my 3 cats, feed them and clean up after them. She was so sweet and caring and my cats were happy. Even my extremely shy one came out and let her scratch her head. I highly recommend hiring this beautiful soul to take care of your pets.”

“Dee did an amazing job with my 2 kitties! Professional, great communication, great attention to detail, above and beyond! Thank you so much thank you Dee 😀”

“Was great to have such a lovely caretaker take care of my kitty while I had to travel. Came out before the scheduled time to meet my cat and the reliable communication was great peace of mind! Would recommend and will absolutely use again.”

“Kimberly was lovely with our two cats. I scheduled her at the last minute and she stepped in quickly and professionally. She was great with our "girls" and took good care of them.”

“There is no one more compassionate or loving when it comes to animals!! Shannon will treat your pet just as it was her own, maybe even better :) !! Owning cats all her life and working with all sorts of animals (chickens, cats, dogs, you name it!) there is no one better to trust with your fur baby. Shannon has aided in the rescue and rehabilitation of several animals and truly always puts the pets wellbeing first. I swear my two pups get more excited when they see Shannon walk through the door than when I do! If you want your pet to be truly loved and tended to, Shannon is your girl. I cannot recommend her enough. She is trustworthy, reliable and communicative and will make sure your animals feel "at home" and 100% well cared for.”

“I am a new Rover user and was nervous about entrusting my 8-month-old puppy to someone I didn't know. But Samantha exceeded expectations in many ways! She clearly loves dogs and was excited to meet my Yogi. She gave him a wonderful walk, made sure he had plenty of water, and even adjusted her schedule to meet our preferred timeline. Yogi was happy as a clam when we got home, and we are thrilled that we now have a reliable sitter to call for future needs.”

“Lindsay takes great care of my cat!”

“I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that Maria loves dogs more than kiddos - and this is a woman who has been hailed as a phenomenal nanny by several families over the last several years. Many people will ask to pet new dogs that they meet, but Maria truly falls in love with every single one. In fact this is true of all animals, but she does have a special place in her heart for doggos. I probably do not have space to write all the stories I could about this part of her life, but here are a few. In addition to the dogs she has cared for while nannying (5 in total), she has had no less than 4 dogs of her own. She has raised newborn puppies, and she has rescued dogs (and cats) that she found abandoned in the street, or that were left by families that could no longer care for them. In fact just the other day she turned the car around when she believed she saw a dog being tied to a pole on the side of the road, but thankfully the owner was only taking a rest and did stay with the animal the entire time. Maria is from Colombia, which has a complicated dog culture. There is an abundance of dogs throughout the country, but they are not always well cared for, and many end up as strays. I personally witnessed her nurture a hungry stray dog while staying at a fancy resort. While the proprietors tried to shoo the animal, thinking it was being bothersome, Maria was actually encouraging the dog to approach. She then calmed him into trusting her so that she could give him some food and water, and he later followed us to our cabana and slept outside. We currently have two dogs in our family, and if I didn’t see it with my own eyes every day, I would not believe two dogs could ever be this happy and comfortable. She does not simply provide them food and water. She rolls around and plays with them whenever they bring her one of their favorite toys, and she lays down with them on whatever surface of the house suits them in the moment. They have so many choices, with 3 beds of their own, a comfy couch and ottoman, and even occasionally our own bed. She bathes them, grooms them, cleans their teeth, and even paints their nails (yes really!). To them, I may be one of their “humans”, but she is truly a part of their pack. Arya, Kathy (our mini French poodles), and Maria would love a chance to share their love with the special furry member of your family, and I promise they will be so very well cared for!!”

“We love Lisa! Our Goldendoodle Massimo lights up whenever she comes to pick him up and is always sad when he has to say goodbye. It's so comforting to know he's in such great hands, especially with her kids who LOVE dogs! I know he has so much fun on their walks and sleepovers and she takes the best care of him—always checking in and sending photos. We can't say enough good things about her and highly recommend her services for all of your fur babies too!”

“Evelyn was great with Lilly . Very friendly and dependable! Will use again .”

“Very sweet person! Always concerned about doing things exactly the way I wanted. Took excellent care of my baby!”

“Cindy is trustworthy and compassionate towards animals. She will make sure your furry friend receives the tender, love, and care they deserve during their daily walks.”

“She always keeps me informed about how my dog's walk went, any unusual behavior she observes, or if she notices anything that might require additional attention. This personalized attention and level of commitment to my dog's well-being truly makes Isabella stand out from any other service I have tried. I would recommend her without hesitation to any pet owner looking for exceptional care for their furry friends!”

“I would highly recommend Brooke to pet sit or dog walk. Brooke is a 'pet' whisperer, dogs and cats always gravitating to Brooke. They sense a calm, kind, patient loving being. Brooke has taken excellent care of our cats over the years. Brooke is trustworthy, dependable, mature and dedicated. Brooke treats all pets as family members. You won't be disappointed in trying Brooke out.”

“As empty-nesters, finding the right person for dog care is like finding someone to trust with your precious infant. We are lucky to have found Ollie, who did a great job of caring for our beagle Lilly in her final months, before she passed away at the age of sixteen. Then when we welcomed a new, high-energy, high-maintenance beagle puppy into the family, Ollie once again allowed us to take a break now and then, knowing that our puppy was in the care of someone reliable, responsible, caring, and, most importanlyt, loving. We highly recommend Ollie to anyone in need of dog care!”
