“Elvia was wonderful with sending updates daily and took great care of my dog while I was away! Super communicative and made my first Rover experience a positive one.”
“We have just returned from a three day getaway, and Nicole stayed with our dog Buster. She is excellent! This was our first time leaving our dog for more than one night and I had a lot of anxiety about it. Nicole took wonderful care of Buster! She was in touch shortly after we left, with photos and an update. This continued throughout our trip. Nicole was easy to reach and always happy to give me some news about Buster. When we returned, Buster was very relaxed and happy. In addition, our house was so clean and neat! Now that we know Nicole, we are confident about booking more trips, knowing that Buster has a great caregiver!”
About: Ive been a professional dog walker for 7 years in my neighborhood. Everywhere I go they ask where are the dogs?? Ive had many satisfied clients. I have slots for more dogs daily. Small dogs are my preference since I have in a small area for them to play in. Overnights are fine too. I have a main play room in my space for smaller dogs. Large dogs may need an overnight pen to rest in overnight for dogs over 30 pounds.
“Emma was great! She was extremely professional. She took amazing care of both my pet and my house while I was away. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be calling her again. Perfect all around.”
“Cinthia was amazing. She stayed overnight with my dog at my apartment and was super attentive and sent lots of pictures. She left the apartment very clean and my dog very happy. Nothing but positive things to say.”
“Heather took great care of our pup! She was very responsive, provided frequent and detailed updates, and was incredibly patient with Zozo who can be shy at first. She also left our apartment spotless. We will definitely use her for future dog sitting.”
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 and friends. I specialize in attentive, one-on-one dog care, from energetic morning walks to calm evening routines. I'm patient, reliable, and treat every pet as my own making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. In addition to dog walking and sitting, I also offer drop-in-visits for cats, ensuring they get fresh food, clean water, playtime, and companionship while you're away. Working from home in downtown Greenwich, I’m flexible and available seven days a week. You can count on me for loving, dependable care and regular updates while you’re away. 🐾 Located right in downtown Greenwich, I offer flexible and convenient daycare drop-offs - perfect for when you’re shopping, dining, or running errands on Greenwich Avenue. Your pup will enjoy plenty of attention, walks, and playtime while you’re out and about. I love starting my mornings with walks around town and the nearby parks, doing lunchtime check-ins for nearby clients, and providing evening care or overnights as needed. Because I work from home and have a consistent schedule, I can easily adapt to each pet’s routine - whether it’s early walks, midday visits, or evening feedings. Pets naturally fit into my daily life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them every day! Whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in yours, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I follow each pet’s regular routine - from feeding and walks to playtime and rest - so they stay happy and comfortable while you’re away. At my home, pets enjoy a calm, cozy, and pet-friendly space with plenty of attention and companionship. I take dogs out for frequent walks and outdoor time to keep them active and stimulated. When I care for pets in a client’s home, 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.
“Nicole is amazing. We were nervous about leaving it three fur babies for the week, but Nicole followed all of the instructions and kept us updated with adorable pictures all trip! We cannot recommend Nicole enough ❤️”
“Sarah was amazing with my dog Mason. She helped us take care of him after an ER visit & gave him his medicines & made sure he stayed on a schedule. She also stayed at our house to care for him while we were away and she did a great job. Mason loves her!”
“This was my first experience using Rover.com and Cadence made it a great experience!! We first did a meet and greet. She is very sweet and listened to everything I told her about Piper and her habits. Piper is the better judge of character and she liked Cadence. It was only a weekend but I have zero complaints and highly recommend her. As a matter of fact I’ve already booked her again.”
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.
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!
“Claire is absolutely the best dog sitter you could find. We came home from an extended trip to find out senior dog calm and happy after Claire’s overnight stays at our home. Claire sent photos, videos and text updates daily which were lovely and reassuring.”
About: Throughout my life I have been blessed with animals ranging from big small cats and dogs both in the work field and my personal life. I am now currently enrolled in college in Manhattan for psychology. I have an extremely flexible and open schedule and I live downtown Stamford CT. I personally live in an apartment building so my dogs and cat are fully secured inside. I walk my dogs twice and day other than that.
“I am so glad we went with Katharine to take care of our dog while we were away. She was very thoughtful, caring and asked the right questions. You can most certainly trust Katharine with your pet, and home should you need care in the form of house sitting. Communicative and professional, we would look to hire again. She was terrific”
“Maria is incredible. She not only sends tons of updates, videos, and photos but also the pictures she takes are amazing!! She catches great candids. She handled all things house related and cleans up on the way out. She is so reliable and kind. Our dog had the best time playing with her dogs -her dogs are so well behaved and sweet. Our cat is a grumpy prince and within hours he was snuggling with her. We can’t wait to use her again. Thanks Maria!”

Dana was spectacular! She was so nice and my two dogs liked her immediately...and so did I. Dana is calm and courteous and left my house spotless. When meeting her she asked great questions about the dogs and had clear answers for anything I asked her. She was responsible and on time for everything and was really good with communication. I will use her again. Dana is an all around great person who did a fabulous job.
Our first time with Zach and hopefully not our last. He was punctual, reliable and so attentive to our older dog who needs some extra care and patience. Zach sent lots of updates and photos throughout his stay. He followed Kona’s schedule to a T and even came back for an extra walk last minute the next day.
Marimar was great!! I felt so comfortable with her watching my dog while I was out of the country. She sent updates each day with a picture. Everything went smoothly and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was in good hands. Definitely book Marimar for your pet sitting!!
Kristina is an absolutely outstanding pet sitter and a true gem for any dog parent. From our very first interaction, we felt an instant connection thanks to her warm personality and genuine thoughtfulness. Before her stay, she asked detailed, insightful questions about Penny’s routines and habits, showing how much she cares about getting everything just right. During the stay, Kristina went above and beyond, sending incredible updates filled with photos and videos that gave us total peace of mind. She brings a rare level of compassion and professionalism to dog sitting. While many shy away from special instructions, Kristina embraces them—she even provides her own simple, thoughtful questionnaire to ensure every detail is covered. We loved having Kristina in our home, and most importantly, Penny had the best time with her. It’s clear she treated Penny like her own. We can’t recommend Kristina highly enough and feel so lucky to have found her.
Wendy recently watched my 2 dogs while I was away in Europe for 11 days, and I couldn't be happier with her service. She did a wonderful job taking care of my babies ensuring they were happy and well-cared for.Wendy sent pictures and was very communicative during my time away. When I returned home, I was pleasantly surprised to find the house clean and tidy, which was an added bonus. I highly recommend Wendy for anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!
Janine is truly a star sitter. Her communication from the beginning was clear and efficient. When she house sat our dog, she sent updates frequently. She also exhibited a caring and nurturing attitude towards our dog - who does well with this approach. We were completely relaxed on our trip and would wholeheartedly recommend Janine
Leca is a wonderful cat sitter! She followed all of our instructions, was very communicative, and took great care of our cat and our home! Despite our cat being very shy, she very quickly felt at ease and warmed up to Leca. We highly recommend her services!
