About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my life. I currently volunteer at Lucky Dog Refuge in Stamford. Have my own dog Ellie who’s 5 years old. I’m currently retired and volunteer at Lucky Dog Refuge in Stamford 1-2 days a week so I have plenty of available time to care for other dogs. I walk and play with my dog regularly and give her lots of loving care. Lots of experience walking dogs at Lucky Dog Refuge in Stamford.
“We couldn’t be more grateful for Stefanie! She has been a true life-saver, especially after we had our baby and needed extra help. Knowing we could count on her to take care of our dog, Astro, gave us such peace of mind during a busy and exhausting time. Astro absolutely loves his walks with her, and it’s clear Stefanie treats him like her own. She’s always on time, incredibly professional, and so caring. We feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely with Astro. Stefanie truly goes above and beyond, and we can’t recommend her highly enough!”
About: Experience caring for dogs, cats, & rodents Capable of administering medication Comfortable accommodating additional needs I sometimes think I like animals more than people, so you can trust they’ll be well taken care of! I am a weekend nanny and work from home as a media & marketing assistant. Rover helps with extra income and getting active outside, away from my computer! I do not give the option to personally house-sit pets due to the fact that I still live with some of my family members, my apologies!
About: I truly love dogs and treat them like family. I currently have a puppy that I care for and train daily using positive reinforcement. Through this experience, I have developed strong skills in routine care, structure, and understanding dog behavior. I provide multiple daily walks (usually 3–4 per day), playtime, and mental stimulation using puzzle toys, interactive games, and enrichment activities. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and secure. I am patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to pet care. I understand how important routine, consistency, and emotional comfort are for dogs. I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. I only study part-time in the mornings two days a week, so I have plenty of time to focus on caring for dogs. I already have a daily routine that includes multiple walks with my own puppy, so adding walks and care for other dogs fits naturally into my schedule. I truly enjoy spending time outdoors and making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and love they need. I provide multiple daily walks (3–4 times per day), playtime, and mental stimulation using puzzle toys, interactive games, and enrichment activities. I am patient, attentive, and focused on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet.

“Katharine is absolutely wonderful! She’s reliable, caring and clearly loves dogs. My dog is so excited every time she arrives, and I always know he’s in great hands. She sends updates and photos after each walk. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind!”
“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”
“Nicole was fabulous I expect at a minimum that dog walkers would be good with dogs, but what really makes the difference is they’re able to navigate challenges and get the job done. It provides a lot of peace of mind. Not only did Nicole navigate my complicated building but she got what was once a very timid puppy to be less afraid. Nicole is a star.”
About: I am a life long lover of all animals and am looking to share my time and dog love with others! I have experience caring for and living with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, so I understand how unique each one can be in their personality and needs. I work full time, but my hybrid schedule allows for flexibility to be available at most hours on my home days, in addition to the general early morning and later afternoon availability. On fridays and the weekend, I have open availability all hours. I always prefer to allow you as the owner the opportunity to share as much as you can about your pet’s unique personality and quirks, to ensure I can adjust my approach with them accordingly.

Their personality, needs, and what they like to do. Safety is always my number one so I make sure to double check that the door is closed and the fences are locked!

“Daniela was reliable and on time for all of our walks. Her communication was fantastic letting me know when she was on her way and sent pics of the walks. I would hire her again.”
About: My family and I have owned multiple dogs and I have dog sat for others dozens of times. I have been told that I am very good with Dogs. I am a former human resources administrator, I am not working currently. I suffer from chronic migraines and I need an opportunity with a flexible schedule and I love dogs and have been told that I am very good with Dogs. Recently I had to care for my nieces dog and he is very friendly with most humans but is reactive to other dogs. Taking him for walks around the house required patience and attention if another dog presented themselves.

Ridgeway dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ashley is the best! Ashley is extremely reliable. She comes when she says she will come and when walking will send you pictures and updates of how the walk is going. She is extremely friendly, personable, and a pleasure to work with. Ashley is wonderful with my dog and I can go away and know with 100% confidence that my dog will be well taken care of. The only problem is my dog is so disappointed when Ashley leaves! Hire Ashley and then just relax!
I recently used Nicole to have a meet /greet and walk my dog Aria. I couldn't be happier with the experience! Aria is anxious and Nicole was warm and incredibly reliable and professional during her time with Aria. Aria responded so well to her ease and confidence. She seems to have a special way with dogs; Aria was happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Arianne. She was our regular dog walker for Boosh and Graham, and we are genuinely heartbroken that she’s moving away. From day one, Arianne was incredibly reliable — always prompt, on time, and extremely communicative. We never once had to worry when the dogs were in her care. What truly set Arianne apart was the way she cared for our dogs as if they were her own. She was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly took the time to understand their personalities and needs. Boosh and Graham absolutely adored her, and it was obvious how comfortable and happy they were with her. Arianne consistently went above and beyond, whether through detailed updates, photos, or simply the peace of mind she gave us knowing our dogs were safe, loved, and well cared for. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her — we would continue using her forever if we could. We give Arianne our highest possible recommendation without hesitation!
Teresa was amazing with my 1 year old puppy! She had great communication from the start and made sure to ask thoughtful, thorough questions- even checking in about where I was comfortable having my dog walked. I really appreciated the detailed update and adorable photos she sent. It’s always nerve wracking having someone new watch your fur baby, but I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in her care. I’ll definitely be booking with Teresa again!
Katharine is absolutely wonderful! She’s reliable, caring and clearly loves dogs. My dog is so excited every time she arrives, and I always know he’s in great hands. She sends updates and photos after each walk. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind!
Sarah is the absolute best! Super reliable, trustworthy, communicative and my dog absolutely adores her. She really goes above and beyond to provide the best service and make sure the dogs are happy, safe and loved. 10 out of 10 service. She’s also very flexible and has saved me a few times in last minute requests. Would highly recommend.
