“Judy was great with my dog! She asks all the right questions before you arrive, sends plenty of updates and pictures, and really gives you the sense that your dog is in good hands. I highly recommend her!”
“I can’t recommend enough Kellwin for doing an amazing job, taking care of Khloe. From the very beginning communication was clear and prompt. He created a space for dog parents new to Rover to ask questions and share information. Throughout the entire stay we received regular updates and the cutest pictures of Khloe that helped ease our minds. It was clear that Khloe was happy and in great hands. Should there ever be another need for dog sitting, we will be looking to rebook with Kellwin. Thank you again for taking such great care of Khloe.”

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.
