“Elvia is awesome! For our pup, we were looking for someone who is confident, experienced, and trustworthy, and Elvia was the perfect fit. She is reliable, very easy to communicate with and always on time. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!”


“Heather bonded with our dog right away! She has a lot of experience with dogs and house sitting, so I completely trusted her while we were away. I highly recommend her!”


“I adopted Winston in December, so this was my first time going away while having a pup. Alison loved on Winston, making both him and me feel comfortable and confident that everything would be okay! He’s a quirky pup, and she made sure he had a blast and was well cared for. When he had a small issue with his food, she let me know right away, and we quickly figured it out together and after that, everything was fine. I so appreciated her caring nature and patience and felt incredibly lucky knowing he was happy and loved while I relaxed on my family vacation. I’m thrilled that Winston will get to spend time with Alison again during my first international trip in September!”


“This was the second time Nicole stayed at our house with our dog Buster while we were out of town. We were away for 10 days out of the country and we were very worried about Buster because he has stomach issues. Nicole was wonderful with him! She accommodated his routine and made him feel very comfortable. Nicole was very proactive - she noticed Buster having more stomach problems after a few days and she contacted me to discuss it. Medicine from the vet was delivered and Buster was back to normal! Nicole is very sensitive to his needs, and she did not mind when he woke her up one morning at 4am to go out. Having Nicole enabled us to enjoy our vacation, knowing she would address any issues that come up. She will be coming again to stay with Buster soon!”


“Michelle and our dog, Meeko, are basically besties now!!! Michelle is a great sitter, we never worry when she is watching our dog, she is a great communicator, always cheerful and so trustworthy! Michelle is the best!”


“Jess was wonderful! She came very last minute to our home to take our dog out three times on Thanksgiving, and saved our own holiday as we had to leave for an entire day, and would never leave our dog alone for so many hours. Thank you Jess for being so dedicated and flexible!”


“Frank is very easy to communicate with and professional. I also appreciated his flexibility and willingness to work with me and my last minute schedule changes. I’m sure Fez also had a great time with Frank!”


“Alyssa was great! Our dog, Kona really benefits from having someone around and Kona gravitated towards her so quickly. She was walked and given a lot of exercise. We definitely will be using Alyssa’s services in the future :)”


“Maria made me feel so comfortable leaving my fur babies home during vacation. I could tell quickly they were doing great and probably had a little vacation of their own while I was out of town!”


“Janine was everything we hoped for! We have full trust in her taking care of our animals. Our dog is very high energy, and she exercised her more than we ever expected. Our dog loves her. She was also so good with our cats, and one of them is very difficult to please. She also left our home very clean. Will definitely be using her services again! The best. Thank you Janine!”


“Wendy did an amazing job caring for our beloved beagle Daisy yesterday -- texting us updates on how things were going and even sending us a few photos. She is a great influence on our feisty beagle, and we could see how happy Daisy is to spend time with her. Friendly, responsible, attentive to Daisy's needs, we are 100 percent thrilled, and look forward to booking another session again soon. We are thrilled to have found such a wonderful dog-sitter through Rover.com!”


“Amazing! Can’t thank you enough- above and beyond my expectations! I booked last minute labor weekend Vacation and Cinthia was able to not just accommodate the stay but also to come and meet and Greet. Justin has a very high Anxiety level without treating any Medication, An escape artist and very Suspicious.. It was great the way he clicked with Cinthia and felt comfortable she kept sending pictures and descriptions of the day. Highly recommended❤️?”


About: I’m experienced, intuitive, kind, and gentle. I love the hyper, enthusiastic dog as well as the gentle and shy one. I also understand when a dog misses its owner, needs attention or is ill. I am also experienced with cats, reptiles, birds and house management. I have just returned home to Connecticut from Texas and looking to share my love and attention with your pet. My schedule is very flexible and I will accommodate yours. I will come to your house to let out, walk, feed or bathe your pup. If you are in Darien, Stamford, or Greenwich, I am a short distance away. I am very safety and health conscious with your pet. Many pets have separation anxiety when an owner leaves and it is important to keep a regular schedule for sweetie.

“This was our first time using Kat and she was a wonderful dog sitter! She focused on Irie, took great care to remember our specific instructions, and asked just the right questions, and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. We look forward to working with Kat often in the future. :-)”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, looking after puppies, adults, and seniors. I understand their needs based on their energy, age, and personality, whether it’s a gentle walk for older dogs or a sprint with active pups. Friends and neighbors trust me to babysit their dogs while they work or travel, knowing I’ll keep them safe, happy, and loved. I love walking, practicing tricks with dogs in training, and spending quality time with furry friends. Your dog’s safety is my priority—I’m mindful of weather conditions, avoid risks, and always communicate about treats, routes, or special instructions. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a task; it’s truly a joy. I work from home two days a week and am usually home on weekends. My job is flexible, allowing me to take breaks during the day, which I love using for refreshing walks—especially with a dog by my side. I can also babysit dogs while working from home, as my apartment allows pets. I don’t have roommates, and my husband loves dogs just as much (if not more) than I do, so your pup will get plenty of love and attention in a calm, pet-friendly environment. I currently don’t have dogs of my own, as my pups live with my mom, so I truly miss spending time with furry friends and would love to care for yours. In my apartment, your pet will have enough space to rest and play indoors. I live less than 400 feet from a dog park, and the neighborhood is perfect for dog walking, giving your pup the chance to explore and get fresh air. My husband also works from home, so together we’ll keep a close eye on your furry friend, ensuring they’re happy, safe, and loved. If I’m caring for your pet at your home, I’ll adapt to their routine and the space they’re familiar with. Depending on the length of the stay, I’ll make sure they’re walked, given attention, and engaged in light training or play. For longer periods, I’m happy to work remotely from your location to provide consistent companionship and care.

About: I have always been a dog lover/owner. Currently have 2 mixed breed dogs (5 and 3 years old). Have dealt with puppies to senior dogs. I do dog walking and pet sitting around my kids school and activity schedules. I’m pretty open during the weekdays. I also have some availability on weekends. Will give your dog the attention they deserve on their walk. They will return happy and well exercised. Will follow any training routines you are actively working on.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 and I love it. Having 2 dogs of my own I know what it’s like to find quality pet care so I like to provide families with the relief of knowing their four-legged baby is being well taken care of! Through my experiences, I’ve learned how to be attentive to dogs cries, whines, whimpers, etc. and body language which helps me make sure they get what they need. I’m currently a college student and am home for the summer. I work at the grocery store 3 days a week so during those hours I wouldn’t be at the house but other than that I will be there! I can’t leave during work but as my hours are short, it has not interfered with my ability to tend to the dogs! I work with each pet parent to make sure I have all the details of the pet’s schedule. In my home, pets are always viewed as members of our family. I believe that pets require the same love and attention that people do so that’s what I share with my clients as well!

Jessica S.

“Great care of our pets as always! And great communication! We have asked Jessica to look after our pets many times and she has always gone a wonderful job.”


kaitlin s.
“We have a 10YO Rhodesian mix and a 4 month old Great Dane. From the time we brought our first home, Kaitlin has been playful, loving, attentive and proud. In his later years, when she is home visiting, she is the first to jump in and help with his love and care and meds. In addition, she balances her time and attention between him and our new puppy. And I could not ask for a better partner with our new Dane. Her willingness to jump in and take over the new-parent responsibilities (crate training, feeding, outdoor time, sleep schedule, clean-up, etc.) highlights her love for dogs and a level of responsibility many of her peers haven’t reached yet.”
