About: I love animals, especially dogs. They bring me joy and I wish to keep them safe and sound for you. They are my family too Currently working Mon- Friday 8-5pm, willing to do weekends and if necessary, weekdays but please contact ahead of time as I work 30 mins away.

About: I have been dog sitting and taking care of pets for a few years now, words cannot describe how much I love what I do. As someone who has lost 2 Pets due to old age I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I use to be very Strict when I went on vacations to whom I would leave my dog (Charlie) with. I know what pet owners want because I was one. Trust in me and you won’t need anyone else to take care of any of your pets needs. I look very much forward to hearing from you and can’t wait to meet your pet, much love. I work from home mostly, and 3 nights a week as a food server. So walking your pet will fit beyond easily into my schedule. I can also do overnights if need be at your place or any place you need me too. I have lost 2 pets and currently moved to a place where pets aren’t allowed however this is just temporary, finding a good place that excepts pets hasn’t been easy but I will not give up. Therefore for the time being I can do dog walks and pet sitting wherever you may need me.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11. Neighbors and family friends have relied on me to watch, feed, and play with their pets. My first job was as a Recreation Assistant at a nursing home, and it helped me realize that one of my main passions is caring for others, whether that’s seniors or furry friends! I’m currently working part time, so I have ample time to watch and play with your pets! My flexible schedule and ability to commute allows me to be available for last minute bookings. I treat my clients’ space and animals with the same respect as I would my own. I closely follow owner’s specific care instructions, such as feeding schedules, walk/play times, and medication if needed. I always want to ensure every pet feels comfortable and safe under my care. I also make sure to keep your home clean and tidy before it’s time for me to go—wiping paws after walks if needed and cleaning up after meals. I send regular updates/photos to pet parents to make you feel at ease. A pet parent’s absence can be stressful, so my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible so they can be as stress-free as possible while you are away.

About: I love dogs with all my heart and am looking to help out other families around the area. I have been a dog walker and dog sitter in the past few years.

“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.”


“Stephanie was great!”


About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog enthusiast with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all shapes and sizes. I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life- currently, I share my home with the light of my life, Apple - my sweet pup of 4 years. I attend dog training classes every Sunday with her and use top-quality treats to reinforce positive behavior with love, patience, and play. I am also familiar with reactive dog training and advanced tactics to help dogs feel at ease, especially when in their own home environment. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, safe, and well-loved! Whether it's a quick walk or extended care, your pup will be treated like one of my own! I am an elementary school teacher during the school year, so my schedule is very flexible in the summertime. I'm not available for overnights, since I have my own dog at home, but I am available the rest of the day, including most weekends! I am a firm believer in a walk at least every 4-5 hours and ample play and exercise throughout the day. Dogs need stimulation, whether that be through tug, fetch, training through tricks, or sniffing walks. Oh, and lots and lots of belly rubs! I can also take care of any hygiene requests including, but not limited to baths, brushing, and teeth brushing depending on the dog.

About: I have taken care of my neighbors, family's, and friend's dogs since I can remember. Whether it be feeding, walking, playing, or ensuring daily care and routine in their lives while their owner is away, I have always been able to shown the additional furry family member the love and care they deserve and need. I am currently a working part-time student on summer break from university. So I have the extra time to be the helping hand you need to help take care of your pets when necessary, whether it be drop-in visits or taking them on a much deserved walk. Ensuring the safety of your four-legged loved one is of the upmost importance and as a pet care provider I like to ensure their safety and comfort through proper care. Such as following any additional comments left by pet owners, taking the extra step to make sure your pet is comfortable while playing in their own yard or enjoying a nature stroll, and also taking the extra step as a pet care provider to watch out for any signs that your pet might be in distress and addressing the situation in a quick and calm manner which ensures the best experience for your loved one.

About: I grew up with pets all my life especially dogs. whenever my family has went on vacation they would call me to watch and take care of their pets. I also have a 15 year old shih tzu. my dog has allergies so I am well rehearsed in caring for dogs with allergies and administering oral medication or cream/ointment medication. He is also going blind so I have experience on handling dogs with vision impairment. I work full time during the week. tuesdays and thursdays i would be available after 4, monday wednesday and friday after 6. my weekends are completely open! my dog is a rescue so I have a lot of experience with anxious animals. I'm also very good at keeping a set schedule for the animals if needed for food or play time.

“Sanchali was great with our cat Millie. We went away for over a week and had her drop in twice a day. She was always on time and very communicative with scheduling, and above all, took great care of our cat!”


“Emily does a great job! We always come home to happy kitties!”


“Katherine was great! She took care of my cat like she was her own! She was extremely communicative and doesn’t hesitate to ask questions if needed. I’m grateful Katherine could pet sit for me so I could relax while I was away.”


About: Hablo español! I’ve had animals my whole life and began to work with them when I was around 7. I did volunteer work along with being the main caretaker of my own pets. As of 2022 I have been studying Pre Veterinary Medicine at the University of Delaware and will be applying to vet schools this summer. I have also shadowed and assisted many vets including during consultations, vaccinations and even during surgery! I will be able to administer medication as needed and provide knowledge from classes I have taken in this field such as behavior, anatomy/physiology, nutrition, and more I will be doing an internship Monday-Wednesday so I will not be available for drop in’s or walks often during those days. Thursday through Sunday, although I’ll be working part time, I am more than happy to check in on your pets during breaks and when I am clocked out. It will be a nice break for the hectic work day and a great time to gain experience before vet school! Comfort and safety is my top priority. I have learned about animal behavior in a previous class, meaning I will be able to detect when you pet feels stressed or anxious. I will uphold your house rules and how you care for your pet to the best of my ability and knowledge.

Luis C.
“I’ve known Luis for some time now and he has been amazing with my dog Rudy. Rudy is a rescue and very particular about who he likes—especially men—but he warmed up to Luis almost instantly, which is rare. Luis has a natural way with dogs. Rudy not only trusts him, but actually gets excited to see him which is a huge deal for a dog like him. If you’re looking for someone who truly connects with dogs and treats them with love and care, Luis is someone you can count on. He’s not only great with animals but also very reliable, and I trust him completely when he is looking after Rudy while I am away.”


Kayla H.
“I could not have asked for a better dog sitter for my pup. I have a very energetic cavapoo, Cora, who I adore, and I was usually uneasy when I had to leave her with someone until I met Kayla. Kayla is just amazing with pets. She is extremely responsive, patience and very loving. Kayla always communicates with me when I am not around keeping me updated on how my dog is doing, she sends pictures and videos to make sure I know that everything is ok. Kayla definitely has a very special way to care for my dog. I highly recommend Kayla as a pet sitter!”

“We can't recommend Zoe enough! I have never met anyone who loves dogs - and knows as much about them! - as Zoe does. She did an outstanding job with our two pups Mari and Spencer. She was always on time, went above and beyond with their playtime and exercise, and was just the consummate professional through and through. I can't imagine trusting anyone else with our two doggos! We will be contacting Zoe every time we need an extra hand, and we have told all of our dog owner friends in Norwalk to do the same!”


Liliana S.
“Liliana did a great job helping take care of my dog while I was away on a trip for a couple days. She was able to drop by when needed and ensured that my pup was set with everything he needed; food, walks, enrichment, and ensuring that he was fine to be home by himself before she left for the day. Working with Liliana was a great pleasure and I would definitely trust her to look over my dog, Brutus, again.”

Victoria S.
“Victoria is a persevering and detail-oriented person, which allows her to contribute positively to the care of our pets, in addition to the well knowledge from pre-veterinary studies. Victoria has always lived with different kinds of pets (fish, rabbits, cats, and dogs). Victoria pays attention to the details of pet behavior, so she can recognize the signals they give us and help them with their needs. Victoria is my source of consultation with our dog Mateo (5 years old) and our cat Rose (13 years old).”
