Pet Sitting Riverside

About: I grew up with a dog for most of my life, and I have recently gotten a new puppy who is almost 1 years old now! I am quite well versed with puppies but I also have lots of love and patience for our seniors as well. I love all dogs and cats! I recently began volunteering for walks at the Lucky Dog Refuge here in Stamford. I currently work full time 8-5 but available for anytime after 5. I am also available any time of day on most weekends as well! I will make sure your pup feels safe and happy when I enter your home. I will follow any and all instructions you may have for me!

About: I grew up with two dogs who had unique personalities and required a lot of attention. No dog is perfect which is why it’s important to understand their individual needs and give them the proper care and attention they deserve I am currently teaching at Norwalk high school so my availability ranges from Tuesday to Friday anytime after 2:30 however the weekends are free range. Since my schedule runs on mostly drop ins and walks I make sure that I follow the owners leash rules and any specific paths they might like to walk. I am flexible and will always be happy to attend to any other needs the owner might require

“Emily is an exceptional pet sitter. We recently left her in charge of our two cats while we travelled abroad. She not only sent us daily check-ins and photos which eased our minds, but she also spent time playing with them and giving them the loving attention and affection that they needed and were missing. Emily was responsible, reliable, responsive and even left our house clean and tidy. But most of all, our cats seemed happy and stress-free when we arrived home. I highly recommend Emily and will most definitely request her service in the future.”

“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: I’ve loved dogs since I was a small kid! If you have 3 pups or more, I just charge for 2! When I turned 17 I worked at a doggy daycare called rover retreat, where I fell in love with taking care of dogs! I went to school in Colorado, my native state, for a couple of years, where I dog sat off and on. I decided to pick my life up and move to the city of Stamford with my to be closer with my girlfriend's family. I love to teach pups tricks and enrich the lives of all animals! Even if your pup is difficult or different, I can work with it:) I am experienced with puppies, seniors, diabetics, pets with medication. I've taught dogs how to run with a bicycle and how to do new tricks like handshake and wait. If you choose me, you're guaranteed someone with lots of experience and a big heart for your furry friend(s). My schedule is currently completely open for your pups' care!! I was in school for a couple of years in boulder, met a wonderful girl, and moved with her out east to the city of Stamford. I doordash other than dog sitting so I can easily accommodate. I watch over the client’s pup and give it all the affection and attention it needs while also maintaining decency and care for the space and all beings and things within.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. Our family shares our home with Kay, our friendly 40-pound Australian Shepherd and Cocker Spaniel mix. She is playful, social, and enjoys having other dogs around. Dogs in our care become part of our daily routine! We enjoy regular walks, trips to the park, and plenty of playtime. We typically take several walks throughout the day, including a morning walk, a longer afternoon outing, and an evening walk. We live in a dog-friendly building complex with access to a dog park, and we also have a spacious unfenced patio where dogs can relax and enjoy fresh air while supervised. We understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and we’ll do our best to make your pup feel comfortable, safe, and at home. We’d love to meet your dog and welcome them into our family! our routine is very dog friendly and consistent. We take our dog for 3-4 walk a day and would follow the same routine with your dog. Dogs are staying with us will be fed twice a day according to their usual schedule and will sleep in their own beds at night. On weekends we enjoy taking longer walks of up to an hour and go to our dog park at the community. Safety is our priority. Dogs are always supervised and kept securely leashed when outside, and we never allow dogs off leash outside the home. We keep potentially unsafe items out of reach and make sure the environment is comfortable

“To say Leigh went above and beyond would be an understatement. She was excellent with my cat. Leigh is patient, accommodating, and was able to interact with my shy cat almost immediately. She pointed out some potential issues and gave suggestions on what to do. She was great, and I very highly recommend her!”

Right now I have 3 small dogs( all were adopted), one is a senior and one is handicapped. They go out for walks at least 30 min per day in the parks, and I groom them myself. We trained them well and they dont beg by the table, they dont bark for no reasons, and they are well socialized. I am so grateful for able to take care them. One of the dog is 15 years old she got adopted by us at age 7, she came with anxiety issues. we retrained her to relieve herself outdoor, she learned fast, and she was rehabilitated into a wonderful, fun, loving dog.

About: My love of dogs led me to start a dog walking business when I was only 10 yrs old. Once I finally convinced my parents to get a dog, I was 15 and we ended up with two bichon-malteses who were the loves of my life. As an adult, my career has me traveling frequently so I haven’t become a pet owner, but I continue to dogsit for friends and neighbors because I love the companionship when I’m home. I am committed to providing your dog a comfortable home away from home where they will be well cared for and loved. I work from home Mondays and Fridays so can be available for care for a long weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon). My availability may be limited based on work travel. I live in a dog friendly building, where there is greenery and walking paths around the building for daily walks and enjoy going for longer walks in nearby parks.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages through walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’ve cared for my own two family dogs as well as pets for multiple families, so I’m comfortable stepping into different routines and environments. I also worked in an emergency veterinary clinic in an administrative role, where I was around a wide range of pet personalities and situations. That experience helped me better understand animal behavior, stress signals, and the importance of clear routines and communication between owners and caregivers. I’m reliable with following instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and administering medications when needed. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. My approach is to match each pet’s energy—whether that means calm companionship or active play—while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is always to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel at ease until you return. My schedule is built around a full-time job, working Monday through Friday from 7–4. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and have the most flexibility on weekends. I can occasionally do midday check-ins depending on my workday, and I’m open to walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m reliable and do my best to accommodate requests with some advance notice. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable care that fits smoothly into both my schedule and your pet’s routine. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in the client’s home. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific care guidelines to keep pets consistent and comfortable. I’m respectful of the home and make sure everything is kept clean, secure, and as I found it. I’m very mindful of doors, gates, and leashes during walks and visits to ensure pets are always safe. My approach is calm and attentive so pets feel at ease while their owners are away. My goal is to provide dependable care and give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands.

“Jessica was so wonderful with our bunny Macho over the holidays! He even escaped before her first visit and she was able to lure him with blueberries safely back into his enclosure area while we were away. She is professional, communicated very well and lovely to work with! Thank you Jessica for making our holiday stress free and taking great care of Macho :)”
