Dog Sitting Riverside

About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs—young, old, big, small, pullers, you name it. I will take care of your pets as I do my own. I work from home, so I’m available around the clock for taking care of your pets. I live in the Fairfield County area, so I’m available to help you out with your pets! I live in a house with roommates, but I have a floor to myself. I have a cat at home, so I can provide a feline companion during boardings.

“Jessica was a wonderful and reliable caretaker for our cat, Ollie! We went away for three days and had her do a drop-in visit on the second day while we were gone. She provided photos and videos of him and gave us peace of mind that he was doing well, was eating, and that he hadn't thrown a wild house party while we were gone 😅. Before the drop-in visit, Jessica also came to our apartment to meet Ollie, and so that we could show her the key system in our building. Would definitely book Jessica again!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life and have always been a huge animal lover. I had a three-legged cat for 14 years who was truly my best friend, so I understand how much pets become part of the family. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, or space to relax. I’ll always treat your pet with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I work a typical 9–5 schedule during the week, but I have plenty of availability before and after work, as well as on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love being around animals and enjoy spending my free time caring for them. I’m happy to work around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make their safety and comfort my priority. I follow their normal routines, feeding schedules, walking instructions, and any specific needs you share with me. I know being away from their owner can be an adjustment, so I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and time to feel comfortable with me.

About: I have several years of experience caring for both pets and children. While working as a nanny for multiple families, I was also responsible for their dogs, making sure they were well-fed, exercised, and happy. This gave me hands-on experience with daily walks, playtime, and maintaining routines. At home, I am a proud cat owner, so I also understand the unique needs of cats and how to provide them with the right care and attention. I am patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether it’s walking a dog, keeping a pet company, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. have a very flexible schedule. Sunday Mondays and Tuesdays I am super available. Most mornings before 10 am I’m free and I sometimes work from home. My schedule is adjustable, I can often adapt to different needs during the week. The care I provide always depends on each pet parent’s instructions, since every animal has unique needs and routines. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them regular walks, fresh food and water, playtime, and lots of attention. Safety is always my first priority whether that means keeping doors secured, watching carefully on walks, or following special feeding instructions. I also keep the home environment tidy and respectful, so pet parents can feel fully at ease while they are away.

About: I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses. I have recently retired and now have plenty of time to live the dream of caring for and playing all day with your fur children. I live on a pet friendly street (cul-de-sac) and my house is properly secure to keep pets safe (gates, crates if needed) and happily engaged in activities.

About: Dogs have always been much more than pets to me they’re genuinely one of my biggest interests. Along with caring for my own dog, I have professional experience working at a dog boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, routines, and energy levels. I’m especially interested in canine wellness, enrichment, and nutrition. With my own dog, I enjoy making homemade treats, preparing enrichment activities, and finding creative ways to keep him happy, active, and engaged. I bring that same level of attention to the dogs I care for. Whether I’m walking your dog, checking in, or staying with them, I want their time with me to actually add something positive to their day not just meet the bare minimum. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to make plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine for walks, feeding, playtime, and check ins. I can also discuss specific times and availability depending on what you and your pet need. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, especially in your own home. I’ll always follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, boundaries, or routines. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and now my love has grown even more. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and family. I deal a lot with active dogs since I have two Siberian husky of my own and a Mutt mix. Im currently working part time-usually available every mornings, mid day depending on the week, weekends available all day once booked in advance sometimes flexible if booked late, and definitely available overnight at anytime. I can do anywhere in Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, Norwalk, Westport and Southport. I will treat your furry pets as they are like mine. I will communicate with you- if the dogs need extra attention, medicine, more walks, take them to their favorite place I will do it. I will always be transparent with you. I want your pets to not be stress when you leave the house - I will be another best friend that they can play with.

About: Hi there! I am a local mom who recently lost her childhood dog, Bella. I can't find it in my heart to get myself another dog just yet so what better way to fill the void than by walking and caring for yours. I have a 3 year old daughter who keeps my hands full but am available for dog walking throughout the week while you're at work. I am a working mom but am looking for a dog or two to walk while I am on break! I am usually home all day on Tuesdays so I am trying to fill a void while keeping your pets active. My home becomes their home. I will make sure your pup is comfortable and feels right at home too. While my backyard is not fenced, I'll make sure your pup is by my side at all times.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses. Through my involvement in 4-H, where I served as president of my club, I developed strong animal care skills, leadership experience, and a deep appreciation for responsible pet ownership. Growing up, I regularly helped care for family pets and spent time dog walking for neighbors. During high school and college, I provided drop-in visits for pets, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I'm currently a proud dog mom to my hound mix, Choco, which keeps me active and helps me stay in tune with dogs' individual needs and personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with a variety of animals, my reliability, and my genuine love for pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I'll provide attentive care and treat them like part of my own family. Beginning this fall, I'll be a law student, but my schedule still allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I have excellent availability on weekends and am generally available in the late afternoons and evenings on weekdays. I also expect to have availability for early morning visits before class and occasional drop-in visits between classes, depending on my daily schedule. Because my class schedule varies, I'm happy to communicate and work with pet parents to find times that fit their needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I'll do my best to provide flexible, dependable care. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their environment. As the owner of an anxious dog, Choco, I know that every pet has different needs and that changes in routine can sometimes be stressful. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and routines so I can provide care that helps them feel secure and at ease. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to safety by ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are secure and by keeping a watchful eye on pets during walks and outdoor time. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience for every pet by being patient, attentive, and respectful of their boundaries. Whether a pet is energetic and social or shy and anxious, I'll provide compassionate care and treat them as if they were my own.

“Samantha provided drop in visits for our 3 cats while we were away on vacation. She was super friendly, reliable and an excellent communicator. She was also accommodating to our specific requests and we were able to relax knowing that our cats and house were in amazing hands while we were away. We will not hesitate to book Samantha again in the future.”

About: Constant TLC (Tender Loving Care) for Every Furry Friend! I also work at a Doggy Daycare which has given me tons of hands-on experience with dog behaviour and care. I'm currently working 30 hours a week so my availability for caring for pets outside work has increased. I have a plenty of space during week days and weekends to care for your furry pals. I have experience handling dogs who may not be used to friendly strangers. I can easily make them warm up and make them feel like I'm just a another member of their family.
