“Nandita was patient and caring with my dog, allowing her time to natural time adjust to the new environment and meet Nandita’s dog. Would highly recommend!”


“Cooper had a great time with Judith and her family. We booked Judith for a last minute doggy daycare and I felt comfortable leaving cooper with her right off the bat. Will definitely use her again.”


About: Here’s what your dog can expect in my care: -A calm and caring home with lots of affection -Walks, playtime, and enrichment -Meal prep and medication administration -Light training and reinforcement (I’ve trained both of my dogs!) -A fun playmate in Rowdy, if your pup is dog-friendly I’ll treat your dog like family. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I mainly work from home, which means your pup will get plenty of personalized attention, playtime, and love throughout the day. Whether it’s long walks, scheduled meals, or medication, I’ve got it covered. In my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and feel at ease. I have a gentle and social bernedoodle puppy named Rowdy who gets along great with other dogs, and I always monitor interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable. I maintain a clean, cozy space with access to a crate if preferred, regular potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your pet with the same respect and care as I would my own. I follow your instructions closely regarding feeding routines, medication, walks, or preferred cuddle spots. I also provide regular updates so you have peace of mind while you're away.

“I can't recommend Nicole enough as a dog sitter! She took amazing care of my dog, Romeo. Nicole was incredibly responsive and flexible, always quick to reply and accommodating to any changes. I truly appreciated the frequent photo updates she sent, which kept me at ease knowing Romeo was happy and well cared for. It's clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. Thank you, Nicole, for your outstanding care!”


“Oriana was great to communicate with and sent regular updates and pictures! My dog, Oreo, got along well with hers. They both had a lot of activity together and Oreo came back home happy (and tired!). Would definitely work again with Oriana!”


“Erika and her family were absolutely amazing! She asked all the right questions about our furbaby. She sents lots of pictures. She was very interested in getting to know everything about our dog so she would be comfortable in her home. I highly recommend her! Very grateful she was able to take care of our dog! Very kind and loving.”


“Allie and Vanshil were great! Ally was incredibly communicative and sent a bunch of pictures, which I very much appreciated. Bruno can get anxious when he's not at home, but Ally and Vanshil took great care of him and I could tell from the pictures that Bruno was comfortable and having a good time. I'm so glad to have found a sitter that I can trust with my pup. 100% would recommend and will definitely plan on using them again. Thank you!”


About: I’m a strong believer that structured, fun walks, socialisation and positive experiences are essential for a dog’s day to day well-being. I’m here to help you provide your dog with the exercise and positive interactions they need. I’ve been a dog owner for most of my life and have experience as a dog walker and sitter on and off. Throughout this time, I’ve learned that, like us, every dog is a different individual, and I’ll ensure to provide the appropriate mental and physical support for a well-balanced routine. I have recently completed successfully a Pet First Aid Course Certification. And I’m studying and practicing Canine Behaviour and Psychology. Most importantly, I’m passionate about our pets and there’s nothing more important for me that to make them feel safe and comfortable! I’m currently studying part time while also doing some volunteering locally, so I have most of my days and hours available to pick up - walk and drop-off your dog. If at your place/home, I’ll make sure that everything stays as it is and follow your dogs routine and care. Occasionally, at my apartment, I’ll make sure introducing the environment in the correct way for your and my dog. I have a small apartment where I live with my Yorkie, so I can host small to medium sized breeds overnight, or any sized if needed for a few hours break.

“Jorge and his two dogs were fantastic with my Bernedoodle! Excellent communication and regular photo/video updates of all the fun. My dog got lots of exercise and play time, and Jorge even went above and beyond by giving him a bath. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again!!”


About: I have grown up with dogs in the family and am a volunteer at the local dog shelter in Stamford's Lucky Dog Refuge. I don't have pets of my own currently so that's why I volunteer and am on Rover so I can care for your pets like my own :) I do have a demanding full time job so I am available in the evenings as well as weekends to get my dose of playing and caring for your pets! Depending on proximity, if you are in the Old Greenwich area I may be available during the day. Great reason to get out of my home office - it's a win-win. In your home, I will care for your pet based on your specific needs and requirements outside of standard walking, feeding, watering and play time.

“Carrigan is a lovely young woman with a dog whisperer touch. Puppy Sammy immediately sat at her feet as we were preparing to leave her driveway for an overnight trip — his first stay outside of our home/with a non family member EVER. I was worried that he may not take well to the situation, but he adjusted quickly, and Carrigan took him on several long walks which exercised him and tired him out. I recommend Carrigan highly!”


“Amit and Amanda were great sitters in FiDi! This was my first time placing Fitz with them and he was super comfortable and playful with them from the start. They sent plenty of cute photos and updates throughout the day and kept me posted on how he was doing. I can tell he was well taken care of, and we'll definintely be back in the future! :)”


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.

“Stephanie was such a fabulous pet sitter for our 2 black labs. We felt so at ease while we were away knowing our dogs were in very capable and caring hands. We will definitely be using Stephanie again:)”


“Monika is the best! Our dog Beanie had such a great time with her. She provided lots of updates and pics while we were away and our pup came home so happy!”


“Elaine was able to accommodate Enzo at the last minute for a 10 day trip. I was hesitant leaving him with someone he didn't know and what if he got separation anxiety and didn't eat. It was my first time taking a trip with him in my life (will be 2 in May) and not seeing him for almost 2 wks. But, Enzo was in great care. She has a lot of experience which made me at feel comfortable that he was going to be well taken care of. Enzo loved her home and got along with the other dogs. He felt comfortable and didn't show any separation anxiety. I was told he was a sweet boy whole time. I felt better knowing next time I wouldn't have to worry as a fur mom about how will her dog feel if left him again. Enzo was such a happy boy in her home and didn't want to leave his buddies that he met behind. Thank you for treating Enzo as one of your own and making us feel at ease when we were out the country.”


“Lisa was a fantastic sitter for our dog while we were in town for a wedding! She was very communicative and sent lots of photos and is clearly very experienced with dogs. Our girl is shy around new people but seemed to settle in super easily with Lisa and her family. Highly recommend Lisa for all your pup-sitting needs!”


“Samantha has a love of dogs!! My dog got so excited when he went for his second visit! She also sends great pictures, one of them is one of my Benny’s all time best shot. She responds quickly to communication. I plan on using her a lot.”

Stephanie P.
Star Sitter

“Stephanie or Steph is a godsend! We are loyal clients because our 6-pound drama princess Yorkie couldn’t be in better hands. I see Steph as an amazing second dog mom; she is gentle, caring and best of all, very detailed and meticulous to make sure my Dixie is always comfortable, safe and actually happy as a day camper or overnight boarder no matter the weather. Plus my baby gets lots of walks and photos every time. Steph is also very accommodating. Once, she had to drop off and pick up my Dixie from a dog care facility that we earlier arranged because she had vacation plans in the middle of our needed number of boarding days. She didn’t have to, but she lingered after dropping Dixie off to make sure she was settled and calm before she took off. Bonus: Pote, Steph’s darling little dog, has been great company for my furry baby. His healthy and well-groomed appearance proves Steph’s consistency and commitment to being a wonderful dog parent and caregiver. Her husband also connects with the dogs to make them feel at home. My Dixie just loves all of them! One last note: Steph has been our go-to long before she joined Rover, so that I am 100% confident she’ll quickly become one of the most sought after sitters and pet boarders in our area. Sincerely and truly 5 out of 5 stars.”

Renee H.
“Renee is an absolute gem of a dog walker, and I can't recommend her services enough. She really cares about the well-being and happiness of our pets! She took the time to get to know my dog, learning about their unique quirks, preferences, and energy levels. If you're searching for a top-notch dog walker who will treat your beloved companion like their own, look no further than Renee, she's fantastic!”

Holly M.Star Sitter
“Holly is the BEST pet sitter, pet care-taker ever! She is conscientious, reliable, loving and caring. She is patient and goes above-and-beyond in doing all that the pet's Mom/Dad want and need for her to do in their absence. She cares for her own dog, Bruno, a rescue, with such kindness and love; she is also very aware of each individual pet's needs and situations, and is sure to protect everyone in every encounter, for example, if some pets are OK to pet or good with kids, etc. she makes sure everyone stays safe. I would not hesitate to place any of my pets in her care. Highly recommend!”

I can't recommend Nicole enough as a dog sitter! She took amazing care of my dog, Romeo. Nicole was incredibly responsive and flexible, always quick to reply and accommodating to any changes. I truly appreciated the frequent photo updates she sent, which kept me at ease knowing Romeo was happy and well cared for. It's clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. Thank you, Nicole, for your outstanding care!

Erika and her beautiful family pampered our dog for a week. The fenced yard was perfect to get some exercise running around, chasing a ball etc and the kids were so sweet to our pup. Erika sent us frequent updates and her action shots were very helpful because we missed our baby so much. It really helped us to see her being treated so nicely and having a lot of fun with Erika and family.

Cannot say enough good things about Marnie’s stay with Manavi! Not only did Manavi watch her for two weeks, she was very accommodating in changing the start date when our travel plans suddenly changed. We got consistent updates on Marnie while away, and she was smiling in every single picture! We can tell Marnie already misses her!!

Lina is just fabulous! I have an older dog who had not been boarded for a while. My dog took to Lina instantly and spent the weekend at Lina’s home. Lina gave her lots of extra walks and love and care and sent pictures during her stay. I feel like my dog has a new best friend.

Our Lapa had a phenomenal time with Alexandra during our out of country vacation. There is a lovely dog park in the neighborhood, so the dog had plenty of zoomies, which was a big bonus. Alexandra shared photos and videos throughout as well. You can tell when people truly care, and Lapa loved staying with her as well. We recommend Alexandra and will leave Lapa with her again without hesitation!

Margaret and her family took great care of our dog Chip! She's clearly experienced in pet sitting, and made sure Chip had lots of activities and cuddle time. She gave us frequent, detailed updates--which we requested and really appreciated! I'll definitely be booking with Margaret any time we need boarding in the future.
