“These 2 ladies are excellent with their care and walks for my dog Frankie. They take the time to get to know her and what she likes. They communicate before they come and when they are walking her. They are timely and caring. They let me know when they are back from the walk. I will definitely use them again!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by different types of animals my whole life! No breed is too big or too small, I love them all.

Each pet has different needs and care. Getting your pet comfortable and to trust me is very important for great service. Your pets are safe with me!
“Janira is fantastic. She was great during our initial meet and greet and my dog instantly liked her. We booked two walks. She was communicative and responsive and had Summit’s best interest in mind. I definitely recommend her!”


About: Growing up with a dog taught me how to care for them naturally, and now my fiancé and I are putting our love for dogs into raising our own puppy, a 7-month-old Cockapoo named Kenai! What sets me apart is that I provide the same meticulous, loving routine at home that I would bring to your pet. From daily care to managing his vaccines and vet visits, I know what it takes to keep a dog healthy, safe, and happy. Your pup will get my undivided attention, supervision, and plenty of love! Best Regards, Daniel Pet care is seamlessly woven into my everyday life. As a business owner, I have wonderfully flexible availability throughout the week and also weekends to ensure your dog receives constant attention. I maintain a safe, secure environment by actively supervising pets at all times, keeping hazards away, and following your exact routine.

I will also make sure to send lots of pictures :) I will be available on weekends and week nights. It would be very important to me to meet your dog before sitting so they know me before sitting. I do not have any pets. I recently lost my beautiful Choco to cancer. He was a beautiful brown golden doodle but looked more like a brown golden retriever. I have a small fenced yard and the neighborhood I am in is very quiet and pet friendly.
About: Caring for dogs has always been my passion. For more than 10 years, my family and I have opened our home and hearts to pets—fostering, rehoming, and even providing medical care when needed. My daughter had worked in a veterinary hospital, so I know how to give medication, insulin, and special attention to senior pets. But what really matters is this: when your dog stays with us, they’re never just a guest—they’re family. We’re home full-time, so your pet will always have company, love, and care. Their happiness and safety are my top priority. Here we meet professionalism, Medical care and Vacation time for your pet. My daughter is currently working remotely.

About: Having grown up in a household bustling with three dogs and three cats, I've been immersed in pet care from a very young age! My hands on experience ranges from raising a German Shepherd to managing the boundless energy of a Husky and the loyal companionship of a Lab—each breed presenting its unique challenges. As a college student, I continue this passion with my beloved dog, Dewey, who is a constant companion. My specialties include embracing long walks (hiking is a favorite), potty training, and dedicating quality time to ensure pets are happy and healthy. As a recent college student with a vast amount of flexibility, I find more time to dedicate to my passion for pet care. Though I work part-time nannying , my free moments are often spent on long walks with my dog, Dewey, or those of my friends. These outings range from early morning walks to peaceful nighttime walks, seamlessly integrating into my daily routine. In my home, I create a welcoming environment for pets by ensuring they have a safe, comfortable space for their little vacation! I prioritize routine, from feeding and exercise to play and rest in my acred fenced backyard, adapting to the individual needs of each pet. When caring for pets in a client's home, I maintain their familiar routines to minimize stress. Since each pet is different, I have to adapt to what they are used to at home to make them comfortable. I also keep thorough communication with owners, providing updates and seeking guidance to tailor my approach according to the pet’s habits and preferences. Whether in my home or theirs, I am committed to providing a nurturing and attentive care environment that meets each pets unique personality!
About: I have been care dogs since my 8 years old,I always had dogs and I love to spend my time with them,playing,walking ,I like the connection with the dogs and of course life is so much better with them! Weekly routine I am always free and I like to go walk with the dogs. Weekday usually I am free between 9 am until 1 pm. I like to use some toys to play with the dogs, ball or anything that I know the dog likes, also I try to keep all organized after the dogs play.
About: Our pets are our babies, and we want someone to love and treasure them as much as we do. I've been a dog mom my whole life, I'll incorporate the best dog park play, long walks and runs if your pet is up to it plus medication management if needed, and of course the necessary TLC your furry baby loves and deserves! I’m available for overnight care, walks, feedings in and near Westport any day of the week to maintain your pets routine to stay well cared for in your absence. N/A currently hosting pets on a case by case basis. Have a labradoodle who needs to meet your pet before I can decide. He’s the boss!
About: Between 10 years of fostering dogs and assisting with Rover boarding, I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. This background taught me how to read body language, introduce pets safely, and help new or nervous dogs settle comfortably into a routine. My hands-on experience covers everything from puppyhood to the golden years. Having raised and trained my own dog from a puppy, I am very comfortable with early training foundations, structure, and positive reinforcement. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, administering medications, and managing attentive post-surgery recovery care with a gentle, patient approach. I treat every dog with the same dedication, comfort, and safety-first mindset I give my own. You can always count on prompt communication alongside frequent photo and video updates throughout the day, so you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Because I work part-time at Fairfield University, I have a ton of flexibility throughout the week. My Fridays through Mondays are completely open for house sitting and extended visits, while my mid-week schedule is easily adaptable for walks and drop-in check-ins. Pet care is a genuine priority in my day rather than something squeezed in. When I am caring for your dog, their daily rhythm for walks, meal times, play sessions, and plenty of cuddle breaks comes first. Your pup will get consistent company, regular potty breaks, and lots of dedicated attention. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping their normal routine as seamless and stress-free as possible. Staying in their familiar environment keeps anxiety low, so I strictly follow your specific feeding times, walking routes, and house rules. Safety and trust always come first. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert to our surroundings. In your home, I make sure doors and gates are properly secured, keep anything dangerous out of reach, and treat your living space with complete respect. You can always count on regular photo and video updates so you know both your pets and your home are in dependable hands.

Alexis was so great with my dog while I was away. She coordinated with my MIL whose house he was staying in. She was very attentive to his health and safety. Most importantly my dog was always so excited to see her for his walks. I would absolutely love to work with her again - kind and trustworthy!

Jennifer has been absolutely wonderful with our dog. Our dog is always so happy to see her. We’ve also really appreciated how available and flexible she’s been, especially when we’ve needed help last minute. Its such a relief knowing we can count on someone who is so competent, safe, and dependable. We’re so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her!

We were SO lucky to have Emilia as our dog walker! She was flexible if we had to adjust the schedule, always left detailed reports after walks, was overly communicative, and our pup Willow always had the best time with her. We’re so sad to be moving out of the area and will no longer have her as our dog walker!!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
