About: I grew up with a dog for most of my life, and I have recently gotten a new puppy who is almost 1 years old now! I am quite well versed with puppies but I also have lots of love and patience for our seniors as well. I love all dogs and cats! I recently began volunteering for walks at the Lucky Dog Refuge here in Stamford. I currently work full time 8-5 but available for anytime after 5. I am also available any time of day on most weekends as well! I will make sure your pup feels safe and happy when I enter your home. I will follow any and all instructions you may have for me!

Having never met her, leaving my house keys was honestly a bit uncomfortable for me. however, given her excellent reviews, i decided to just trust and go for it. elvia came exactly on time, fed and played with my dog for a half hour and then left. everything went just as planned. her communication was great, which was essential, and put me at ease. i had a postive experience.”

I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and giving them lots of love and attention. I’ve also helped care for my family dog for 6 years and have experience caring for cats. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾💗 I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide your pets with plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I love to go for walks during my breaks and in the evenings so please let me know what time frames work best for you so that I may work around them! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me.

About: Dogs have been my world for 15 years. I've worked in daycares, training facilities, grooming, shelters, and now I focus on providing reliable walks and personalized care. I offer neighborhood walks during the week, and on weekends I also offer 90 to 120 minute off-leash adventure hikes for the weekend warrior dogs that love to explore and need to burn off some energy! Every visit includes photos, updates, gps and plenty of attention! Dogs are what i do! And because this is what I do professionally, I’m able to provide consistent scheduling and care, building relationships with your pup! Almost any given day you can find me working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels! I primarily provide care through structured outdoor hikes rather than in-home services. When working in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, controlled environment.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. Our family shares our home with Kay, our friendly 40-pound Australian Shepherd and Cocker Spaniel mix. She is playful, social, and enjoys having other dogs around. Dogs in our care become part of our daily routine! We enjoy regular walks, trips to the park, and plenty of playtime. We typically take several walks throughout the day, including a morning walk, a longer afternoon outing, and an evening walk. We live in a dog-friendly building complex with access to a dog park, and we also have a spacious unfenced patio where dogs can relax and enjoy fresh air while supervised. We understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and we’ll do our best to make your pup feel comfortable, safe, and at home. We’d love to meet your dog and welcome them into our family! our routine is very dog friendly and consistent. We take our dog for 3-4 walk a day and would follow the same routine with your dog. Dogs are staying with us will be fed twice a day according to their usual schedule and will sleep in their own beds at night. On weekends we enjoy taking longer walks of up to an hour and go to our dog park at the community. Safety is our priority. Dogs are always supervised and kept securely leashed when outside, and we never allow dogs off leash outside the home. We keep potentially unsafe items out of reach and make sure the environment is comfortable
About: I grew up with two dogs who had unique personalities and required a lot of attention. No dog is perfect which is why it’s important to understand their individual needs and give them the proper care and attention they deserve I am currently teaching at Norwalk high school so my availability ranges from Tuesday to Friday anytime after 2:30 however the weekends are free range. Since my schedule runs on mostly drop ins and walks I make sure that I follow the owners leash rules and any specific paths they might like to walk. I am flexible and will always be happy to attend to any other needs the owner might require
About: I have taken care of many dogs in my life. All dogs seem to have a special connection to me. I have been known to get along with every dog I meet. I have cared for my own dogs, family member's pets and many other dogs over the years. I'm a natural with animals and will care for your pet like they're my own. I'm very excited to meet you and your dog. I hope to create a special bond with them like I have with others. I will play with them and give them all the attention that they need. I will be very helpful in giving you updates on your dog and sending pictures if that will make you feel more comfortable. Let me care for your animal!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13. I have done walks, drop-ins, overnights, and long term dog care for family, friends, and neighbors. I love all dogs, and have grown up around dogs. I am currently working part time, so I have a flexible schedule. I have a lot of time for walks, playing, and spending time with your pets! I always keep dogs on their leash, or keep an eye on them when they are outside. I am comfortable walking any size dog, and always make sure gates are closed when dogs are in a fenced in area!
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and have extensive experience with both cats and dogs. I grew up with cats, worked at a dog kennel caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and have experience caring for sick and bottle-fed kittens. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I'm currently a student, so much of my time is spent at home studying- meaning your pets will not be left alone! I’m organized, reliable, and able to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s individual needs and routine While I have cats of my own, they will be kept separate from any of our feline guests. I prioritize a clean, safe and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow owners’ instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and any other special needs. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I aim to keep pets comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away.
“Jessica was great taking care of Kikat. She was quick to respond and always immediately brought any concerns about my cat or anything she got into while I was away. Thanks for the great care!”
About: I’ve had dogs growing up. As an adult I have had cats and dogs, many of whom had special needs. I have had two blind cats and cats and dogs with various chronic medical conditions. I also have a veterinary assistant certificate from Norwalk Community College and I have worked as a vet assistant. I am retired for now. This leaves me time to focus on your animals. I can do sleepovers as well as daily walks and home visits for cats. I cannot take pets in my home but can do walks and sleepovers in a clients home. If an owner has a fenced in yard and the dog likes going out in the yard I would go with the dog and not leave the dog unattended. If the dog is used to walks we would walk.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life, with experience caring for breeds of all sizes. I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs and have been comfortable handling and caring for them from a young age. Additionally, I have experience house-sitting and providing care for dogs belonging to coworkers, friends, and family members. My lifelong experience and genuine love for dogs allow me to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every dog I look after. I am currently playing junior hockey, with practices scheduled Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I am fully available to provide attentive and reliable care for your dogs. My availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays varies depending on my hockey schedule, but I am happy to coordinate in advance to find a time that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while giving each dog plenty of attention, affection, and exercise suited to their needs. Having grown up around dogs of all sizes, I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs. I strive to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while their owner is away. I also keep owners updated on how their pets are doing for added peace of mind.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, and I’ve had the joy of caring for just about every kind of pet you can imagine- from puppies and cats to reptiles and horses! I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy and cared for. I have experience with obedience and potty training for puppies (lots of patience, consistency, and praise are key!), and I’ve also worked with senior and special needs dogs who need a little extra TLC. Whether it’s sticking to medication schedules or adjusting to their pace, I make sure they always feel comfortable and supported. From playtime and walks to cuddles and clean-up, I bring plenty of energy, compassion, and attention to detail. No matter the species, I have love to go around! I currently work from home, which gives me the flexibility to fully integrate pet care into my daily and weekly schedule. This means I can adjust my routine to accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, or any special needs a pet may have. I’m able to provide consistent attention throughout the day, whether it’s short check-ins, extended play sessions, or administering medications on a strict schedule. Being home allows me to be present and attentive, creating a stable and reassuring environment for pets, and ensuring that their needs are always met without feeling rushed or overlooked. My goal is always to keep pets as comfortable and secure as possible while their owners are away. I do my best to maintain their normal routines—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or bedtime—so they feel consistency and familiarity even in their owner’s absence. I understand that being cared for by someone new can sometimes bring on a bit of anxiety, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment and giving them plenty of love and attention. This helps make the transition smooth, and ensures each pet feels safe, cared for, and right at home.
About: I offer years of hands-on, dedicated experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. My background ranges from managing daily care and routines for large and extra-large breeds to providing attentive, gentle support for senior dogs. Pet care is an integral part of my daily life and routine. I offer clear, flexible availability for daily walks, scheduled check-ins, and ongoing pet care. I keep consistent communication with owners to ensure seamless updates and total peace of mind while you're away. Safety, clear communication, and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets, I strictly adhere to your routines, feeding instructions, and safety guidelines. Whether we're out on neighborhood walks or spending time at home, I am deeply attentive to each dog's individual temperament, physical needs, and boundaries to ensure a secure and happy environment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Old Greenwich
Margaret was so attentive and wonderful with our two cats! She truly went above and beyond, providing feedback and making adjustments to ensure everything went smoothly while we were away. Our cats were very comfortable with her and definitely enjoyed her calming presence. I HIGHLY recommend her!
We absolutely love our dog sitter, Michelle! She has consistently been wonderful with our girls, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring hands whenever we’re away. She goes above and beyond to make sure they’re not only fed and walked, but also given plenty of playtime, attention, and love. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about their happiness and well-being, and that means the world to us. Finding someone you can trust with your fur babies is priceless, and we’re so grateful to have found her! We couldn’t recommend her enough! ❤️🐾
Maria Helena was amazing! Our cats warmed up quickly to her and she sent us so many amazing photos of our cats while we were away. I’m an anxious parent when away from my cats but this was the least anxious I’ve felt in a while. Really happy to have found such a great person to watch our girls
Nina is absolutely fantastic! Her communication was excellent, and she provided detailed daily updates with pictures. My cat needs special care, and Nina was extremely responsible and paid close attention to detail of the care routine. She went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Old Greenwich is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 18,976 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Old Greenwich. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Old Greenwich. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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 sitter.
