About: Hi, I’m Dagmar - a trusted Greenwich local with 20 years of pet care experience. My love for pets began in Germany, caring for family cats and grew as I looked after dogs of all breeds and ages for families, friends and long-term clients. I specialize in attentive, one-on-one dog care, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I'm patient, reliable, and treat every pet as my own making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. For dogs, I offer structured walks tailored to their energy level - from quick potty breaks to longer neighborhood walks and fun park visits. For cats, I provide thoughtful drop-in care including feeding, fresh water, litter maintenance, playtime, and companionship. I work from home in downtown Greenwich, which allows me to be flexible, responsive, and available seven days a week. You can count on me for dependable care, clear communication, and regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Living downtown Greenwich and working remotely allows me to offer flexible dog walking, drop-in visits throughout the week, with house sitting care available on weekends typically from Friday through Monday. Extended or full-week house sitting can also be arranged upon discussion. When caring for pets, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I carefully follow each pet’s established routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and preferred play or rest times. I’m respectful, tidy, and follow your instructions closely. I always provide updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is receiving attentive, loving care.
About: my combination of professional childcare experience, animal care experience, and education in Animal Science. I recently graduated from University of Connecticut with a B.A. in Animal Science and have worked as a veterinary technician, giving me strong skills in responsibility, safety, and attention to detail. I am CPR certified for both toddlers and animals I have a flexible schedule and enjoy being around dogs. Pet care is a rewarding way to stay active, spend time outdoors, and help others I follow each pet’s routine by providing food, water, exercise, playtime, and attention while ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being at all times.
“Alyssa is amazing! She was very responsive and organized. She took good care of our cat and left detailed visit notes. She was our first Rover cat sitter experience and we were glad that we were able to have her taking care of our cat while we enjoyed our vacation. Will def rebook with her for our future trips.”
“Julia was very good with our kitten while we were gone for a long weekend. She had timely check ins, sent great pictures, and was very responsive. I felt like I could fully relax knowing our little guy was taken care of.”
“Maggie was literally a lifesaver over Christmas break since our sweet kitty needed to see the vet for treatment and Maggie took him for us so that he could continue treatment for cancer. She is so reliable and lovely - we can’t say enough. 💗”
About: I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals 🐐, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is a distinguished, low-drama fellow. As a plant parent, I will watch after yours indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.
“Rachael was prompt in responding, helpful during the booking process, reliable and communicative during visits! Really appreciate the time and effort, will definitely be reaching out again for future cat sitting needs!”

About: What sets me apart is my combined expertise in pet care and property management. With years of experience sitting for a variety of pets—including dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds—I’m comfortable caring for animals of all ages, from playful pups to senior pets needing medication. My background in property management means I’m skilled at handling household maintenance and addressing unexpected issues, ensuring your home stays in perfect condition. Thoughtful and detail-oriented, I go above and beyond to anticipate needs, providing peace of mind while you’re away.

I am an early bird, so early morning walks are welcome and I am available to provide constant attention to your pet.

In the clients home, I will respect and do all the necessary needs and wants for the dog/cat and make sure they are safe and happy.
“Iris was a godsend for us! This was the first time using a petsitter for our 3 cats and Iris was much more than we expected. She took excellent care of Tiger, our senior cat with health issues and entertained our 2 younger and shy cats. By the end of the week Rocky was sitting in her lap! We can't say enough positive things about Iris, she was the best! Anyone using her won't be disappointed.”
“Jalyne went ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! This was our 2nd time having her take care of our cats. It was such a nice relief receiving daily communication and pictures while we were away. Everything we asked (AND MORE) was done on each visit. She is very reliable and HIGHLY recommended.”
About: Hi! I grew up surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, hamsters, and even birds—so caring for pets has always been a part of my life. For the past 5 years, I’ve gained professional experience caring for pets of all kinds, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and even specialized care for newborns. I understand that each pet is unique, and I’m dedicated to making them feel loved, safe, and happy while their owners are away. You can trust me to treat your furry (or feathered) family member as if they were my own! I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pet. My main goal is to find playmates for our dog, Roma. I’d love to take her—and your furry friend—to the park so they can enjoy playing together. I’m available to provide attention, playtime, and care to ensure your pet feels happy and loved. In my apartment, I have toys, beds, and plenty of space to make pets feel comfortable and at ease. I also strive to create an environment where they can relax and enjoy their time. Additionally, I’m in the process of looking for a house with a backyard to offer even more space for pets to play and explore.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Port Chester
Aaliyah is fantastic and such a professional. She is polite and courteous and clearly loves dogs. She even tackles challenges like my forgetting to leave the key out for her! She handled it so beautifully and was so patient and helpful! Many thanks Aaliyah and thank you Rover!
This was Jason's first drop-in visit with our two Great Pyrenees dogs and our Maine Coon cat. The boys met Jason at his meet-and-greet visit about a week in advance and the boys loved him from the moment he walked through the door. He's very comfortable with our big boys (115 pounds and 140 pounds!). Jason, overall, is fantastic-- professional, thoughtful, conscientious, and just a great guy. He followed all of our instructions to the last detail. We already have more days booked with him. It's such an enormous relief to find him so the boys can stay home together rather than staying at the kennel while we go out of town. Highly recommend him!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Port Chester stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Port Chester choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Port Chester with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
