Dog Sitting Norwalk

About: I've worked as a dog bather at two different dog grooming salons, where I gained experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My partner and I have also owned and cared for pets our whole life—we have 5 cats and regularly dog sit our family members' dogs. My partner and I work well as a team to make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and the best care possible. We also have experience working in the cleaning industry, so we understand the importance of keeping spaces safe, clean, and comfortable for animals. We currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows us to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. We take a daily run and would be happy to bring an energetic dog along if it’s something they’re comfortable with. We also go to the gym each evening from 8–10 PM, but outside of that we are home and available. Because of our flexible routine, we can provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding, and lots of love and attention to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away, at work, or just need a break for the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. We have experience caring for both dogs and cats and currently have 5 cats of our own, so we’re very familiar with daily pet care routines. We follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, and special needs. With our flexible schedule, we’re able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I've had three dogs in my life. One turned 17 this year. She's a happy old lady but does require some medications that I have learned to administer and I make sure they are given on time and properly. I enjoy taking my pups on long walks on nice days. Aside from my personal dogs I have spent time house and dog sitting for two other people with various different dog types with different personalities. For one of these people, she is also a dog sitter and I assisted her in one emergency situation where she needed needed me to stay the weekend and care for the five dogs in her care plus her two minor children. I work full time with set hours Monday - Friday. I'm free weekends. Early morning walks are easily done but afternoon walks are after 4. Depending on location, how close a location is to my job, I do have a 30min lunch where I can run out and give a quick walk. For my personal dog I tend to do a good long walk in the morning and another good long walk after 4 to make up for the long day. I've never worried about bathroom accidents with her. I love dogs. That's just a fact. I protect them anyway I can. I have gone out to look for neighborhood lost dogs, I have seen paw prints, but no shoe prints, in the snow during a snow storm and I went out searching for what I was sure was a lost escaped dog. Before leaving my house, I do a scan to make sure there's nothing dangerous out that my dog could access, hanging cords, small items, loose treats, etc... to make sure she's always safe.

“Taylor is the best. She came to meet my puppy before taking the job which I loved. She is awesome and my Chihuahua, King Olaf, was a happy puppy upon my return so I know Taylor took very good care of him. Thank you!”

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and cats: big or small. I’m super active and love hiking and walking. I own a lovely Cockapoo, a Siberian cat and have two kids. I’m reliable, communicative and responsible. I’ve been working from home and I’m up early to take my dog for a run and feed my Siberian. Early mornings and weekend requests are no problem. I have a super flexible schedule and in case of conflicts, I can also reach out and offer my college-aged daughter, to cover so you don’t have to worry about finding another provider when I’m away. I provide updates on your pet care for your ease of mind. I do this work with my daughters simply because we love pets. We had many clients in Westchester, and just moved to CT.

“Alexis was great with communication and taking care of the dogs!”

“If I could give her 6 stars I would because she not only does all the requirements well (litter, food water, play, is neat...) but she is so loving to my kitten. It is obvious she is a true pet lover”

About: Hi there! I’ve mostly taken care of cats, but I’m open to taking care of dogs & god walking if they are good with people. I work from home so having a pet to play with on my breaks will for sure keep me entertained all day! I’m a young, energetic man who works a remote corporate job. Looking for a pet to love & play with during the day so I don’t stare at my screen all day. My schedule is pretty flexible since I work from home. I do usually eat dinner with my family, so it would be ideal if I could go back home for a couple hours in the evening to eat with them. I’m an affectionate person who loves to play with pets because they get exercise & I get to destress. Especially since I work from home, I definitely have the time to give your pet the care & attention that you request. Lastly, as someone who loves to talk, I talk to pets all the time, of course in a sweet tone because I truly believe that dogs & cats can understand the things we say to them!

“I highly recommend Lindsay for all your pet needs! From the beginning she’s been easy to communicate with, flexible, and keen to start. Lindsay came unpaid to meet the dogs and get a walkthrough of our home. From the moment Lindsay walked through the door the dogs have been growing more attached to her. Lindsay’s first and second visits have gone perfectly! She took the dogs outside immediately, played with them, fed the puppy, and let them out again. She’s been sure to give them plenty of love, companionship, and cuddles while with Tiller and Parker. Lindsay is extremely easy going and willing to help. We asked her to move one of the dog crates as Tiller was crying unless she could see Parker. Lindsay was more than happy to help, and our neighbors greatly appreciated the noise reduction. Lindsay takes STUNNING photos of the pups, which I am so thankful for as we have a dog Instagram. She fills out the care card to a tee, and often further communicates with me. Between the two days we had to make some changes to the care plan (specifically how she gets into the house) and Lindsay adapted without question.”

“Samantha provided drop in visits for our 3 cats while we were away on vacation. She was super friendly, reliable and an excellent communicator. She was also accommodating to our specific requests and we were able to relax knowing that our cats and house were in amazing hands while we were away. We will not hesitate to book Samantha again in the future.”

About: I bring several years of professional pet-sitting experience to every visit. I worked as a cat sitter with Katie’s Kitty of New York City before becoming the company’s Queens manager, where I helped oversee both pet care and a team of sitters. In the time I have lived in Fairfield County, I have had three rescue cats and two large breed dogs. I’m experienced with cats of all personalities, from outgoing and playful to shy, cautious, and independent, and I understand how important it is to respect each animal’s individual routine and comfort level. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs, including large breeds, and have plenty of firsthand experience with the needs and personalities of big dogs. Most importantly, I know that having someone care for your pet means trusting them with a beloved member of your family and with your home. I take that responsibility seriously. You can expect dependable, attentive care, good communication, plenty of updates and photos, and lots of affection when your pet wants it! I currently have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits throughout the week. I keep my service area relatively close to home so I can be dependable, punctual, and give each visit the time and attention it deserves. My availability can vary with my professional schedule, but I keep my Rover calendar up to date and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. Once I’m booked to care for your pet, you can count on me to be there! I love and care for the pets I sit for as if they were my own. I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s beloved pet and home very seriously, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they are in caring, capable hands. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and maintain the routines their pets know, from feeding and medications to walks, playtime, litter care, and companionship. Safety is always a priority. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, food restrictions, and anything else that could affect your pet’s well-being. I also pay close attention to behavior and will let you know if I notice anything unusual. My years working professionally in pet care have taught me how much trust is involved in giving someone access to your home and putting a beloved pet in their care. I treat both with tremendous care and respect. You can expect reliable communication, plenty of updates and photos, and most importantly, a pet who is genuinely loved and cared for while you’re away.

“A fantastic relationship through and through. Kim is extremely responsive to communications. Her interaction with my little dog Fred - who is very shy and tentative with new people - was great. She reassured me during my trip that Fred was doing well and interacted with Kim very well. I am grateful for the sitting / home visits Kim provided. I would not hesitate to use Kim in the future.”
