“Chris was great with my puppy! Very attentive to both my needs and my puppy’s needs during his visits. Great communication and photos to ease my nerves. I’m would highly recommend him for any of your pets needs!!”
“I had a wonderful experience with my dog sitter and would absolutely book with her again! She took excellent care of my two dogs and was attentive, kind, gentle, and professional throughout the entire process. She followed all instructions carefully, kept me updated, and treated my dogs as if they were her own. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing my pets were in such caring hands while I was away. When I returned home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my girls! 🐾❤️”
“Nicole is wonderful with my Atlas. She is always on time, communicative, and sends lots of pics. I was concerned that he might develop separation anxiety when I returned to work, but Nicole’s drop-ins keep him happy and engaged (the only separation anxiety is mine 😊). Her consistency and experience is helping him learn his manners (leash and potty etiquette) very well.”
“Maria was AMAZING! Our dog is really nervous around new people and she took such good care of him and made sure he had everything he needed. Will 100% rebook again”
“i never met elvia, only spoke on the phone, making arrangements for my dog. 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.”
“Daniela is great! She took care of my two cats while we were out of town - our first real trip since the pandemic so I had major separation anxiety from my kitties. She texted pictures, did a great job keeping them happy and fed, and even took in the newspaper while we were gone. We will definitely be requesting to work with her again!”
“Stefanie is an all-star! My fur baby is extra ornery and finicky. Stefanie managed it all. She is a fantastic communicator and kept me in the loop about her every time she stopped in. You are in good hands with Stefanie!”
“Nina is so great! She is so quick to respond and was able to accommodate a very last minute meet and greet and drop in services for our pup! She is very communicative, sends great updates, and our pup loved her. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
About: I care for dogs of all different sizes and temperaments and have specialized experience caring for reactive and skiddish doggos. I know how hard it can be but it’s also that much more rewarding. Booking with me you will have peace of mind and your dog will be cared for as if they were my own My schedule is fully flexible so your pets have my complete attention while they are in my care. I try to maintain their typical routine while you’re away to minimize their stress. I provide as much TLC as possible and as a bonus I can reinforce any training you’d like while you’re away. All pups tend to feel very comfortable around me and my experience with even “challenging” temperaments has prepared me to love every unique personality. Regardless of whether you’d like me to spend the night in your home I will be with your dog at least 3 times a day and spend quality time in the home together and exercise outside twice a day in addition to potty breaks
“We’re so grateful to Claudia for taking such great care of Luna and Beanie while we were away! She did an amazing job not only spending time with them but also keeping everything clean and tidy. One of the cats had an accident outside the litter box, which I was a bit worried about, but Claudia took care of it right away and reassured us that everything was fine. It really gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you, Claudia, for treating our cats and our home with such care!”
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs, especially caring for my family's own for 6 years, and pet sitting for the past few years as well. I am super active and love to take dogs on runs, walks, and trips to parks to roam around and play. Dogsitting is a win-win for both me and the dog! I just graduated from Clemson University and am staying with my family this summer to save for law school, as I start in the fall. I am a hard worker and have a love for physical fitness. I am extremely active and go on walks, runs, and hikes by myself all the time. I would love some company via your pets! I keep all of the attention on the pet, and I love it as if it was my own. I like to be active and go to parks often, which is perfect for pets. I plan to make each pet the priority, as they all deserve!
About: I’ve taken care of numerous kinds of dogs of all ages and sizes. I have been relied on for serval years for many neighbors and friends to feed, walk and dog sit. I am working part time and have plenty of time to take care of and walk your dog for various times during the day and extended times to watch over. I have worked with many different types of dogs and have plenty of experience watching dogs in peoples homes when they go away. I am used to crating dogs, and making sure they are safe and happy when watching over them.
“Hanaya was so great with our mini goldendoodle. she was available last minute and really helped us in a crush. Hanaya is very reliable and responsive, and I would definitely use her again!”
“LisaLeigh really helped us out when we were in a bind. She was communicative and took great care of our two pups for the night. I will absolutely be calling her again!”
“Annabel did a great job for my 2 cats while I was away for a week. She sent great pictures and even cleaned up when they got into a treat bag one day. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Ashley and Mauricio were polite, very easy to communicate with and extremely professional. They were so sweet with my dog and I would 100% recommend using them!”
“Nicole is incredible! She takes her time with our shy dog to make her feel comfortable, and we feel so grateful for that. She also sends pictures without us even having to ask! 10/10 recommend!”

Serena is amazing! I’d highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond. My cats were drawn to her from their first meet and greet. They loved her company & got attached and accustomed very quickly. She was very flexible & she listened to all instructions. She sent daily photos of my boys which we loved! Will definitely request her services again if we are ever out of town!
Danielle was an amazing cat sitter for Sasha. She was incredibly easy to communicate with from the beginning, and I really appreciated how she proactively asked thoughtful questions and made a detailed care plan instead of just doing the bare minimum. She followed all instructions perfectly, was very kind and reliable, and overall gave me a really comfortable and safe feeling while I was away. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I came home feeling relaxed knowing Sasha had been in such good hands. Highly recommend!
This cat sitter was fantastic and gave me total peace of mind while I was away for a week. They sent adorable daily photos and updates showing my cat happily playing, eating, and they kept everything food, water, litter box, and playtime—perfectly on schedule. I came home to a relaxed, healthy kitty, and I’ll be booking them again without hesitation!
Kamila is the best find I ever had for my cat. Lots of photos and detailed feedback. She looked after my cat like her own and can tell she truly is an animals lover. She checked in on time each day and I can tell from the photos that she had a bond with my cat. Will definitely use her again for my next trip!!
This is my 2nd time with Maria and I could not be happier! We usually have a friend house/ pet-sit for us, so I was a little nervous about having a stranger caring for our dog and 2 cats, but Maria immediately put those worries to rest! Our pets loved her so much they weren't even that happy to see us when we returned home ;) Highly recommend!
Connor was great watching our cat Pepper while we were away! He sent photos and a detailed check in each day, making sure she had everything she needed. He went above and beyond cleaning around her little box and taking out the trash when he noticed it was full. Pepper can be quite shy, and he took the time to coax her out with toys and give her extra attention! Would highly recommend Connor for any pet sitting needs!
Paige is incredible! She is very reliable, flexible, and also very responsive. She is great with my two very shy kitties and has even gotten them to trust her enough to let her pet them (which is not a small feat). I trust her completely with my cats and I am always assured that they will be well cared for. I’ve booked Paige’s services for almost a year now and plan to keep booking her whenever she is available to help.
