“Kevin and Ana are wonderful! We had our dog, Buddy, stay with them for in home boarding and he had a fantastic time playing with their dogs. Kevin provided frequent updates with photos and videos. Our dog had a minor injury right before our trip and required daily medication and a little extra TLC. We were so grateful for the great care he received during his stay.”



“We were so grateful to find Richard before a week long trip to Iceland. Riley had a great place to stay with a big, fenced in back yard and lots of love and play. He had a few puppy friends to play with, but he doesn't take too many dogs at a time so it wasn't overwhelming for our only-child pup. I highly recommend him!”


“I’m so glad we found Tina. Kallie who can be skeptical about unfamiliar situations seemed to take to her and her daughter right away. Since we rarely leave her for any length of time, we were so relieved that her stay worked out so well. Tina went beyond the call of duty - keeping us updated and sending pictures often, even cleaning Kallie’s eyes and ears. Thanks for everything Tina, and I’m sure anyone would be happy to have their dog stay with you Taffy and Mike Rodell”


“Kylie was so great with our dog Maisey! She was so attentive and Maisey with great care and sent lots of updates to us via text! We would highly recommend Kylie to any future people that might need a dog sitter and look foward to using her again!!!”


“Ally and her boyfriend were absolutely amazing with my pup Riley. From the moment we dropped Riley off we could tell she was in great hands. Ally was easy to communicate with and definitely went the extra mile to make sure Riley felt at home. It’s not easy taking care of a lab puppy but Ally is a pro! I couldn’t recommend Ally more! We are so lucky to have found somebody like her!”


About: I believe every dog is unique and deserves personalized care. I take the time to understand your dog’s individual needs, whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just a peaceful walk. With me, your pup will enjoy fun, engaging activities that keep them happy and healthy. I pride myself on being attentive, reliable, and treating every dog as if they were my own. You can trust me to create a safe, loving, and joyful experience for your furry friend! As someone who works part-time from home, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care for your dog throughout the day. My routine allows me to schedule plenty of walks, playtime, and check-ins to ensure your pup feels loved and comfortable. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I can easily adapt my schedule to accommodate your dog’s needs, making sure they get the care and attention they deserve without interruptions. My home is pet-friendly, safe, and designed to ensure your dog feels comfortable and relaxed. Located just two blocks from a beautiful dog park, I’m able to provide fun outings and plenty of exercise in a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking paths. Inside my apartment, your pup will enjoy a cozy, secure space where they can rest and play. If I’m caring for your pet at your home, I’ll make sure they feel at ease and maintain their usual routines to ensure a stress-free experience.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets and family and friends pets ever since I was 15. I have 2 yorkies that are in Brazil with my mom and one have diabetes and it’s blind, which made care a little tougher but not with any less attentiveness and love. I’m nurse so when it comes to care I’m always on top of it, even for furry friends! I’m currently unemployed due to a recent move to Stamford, CT for my husband’s job. As i mentioned before, I’m an RN so I’m transferring my license to Connecticut so I can apply for nursing positions here. So because I’m unemployed at the moment, pet care will be my only responsibility and I’ll have most of my time for it. I recently moved to a new apartment! It’s ground floor which gives more safety around windows and allows me to take the pets out on walks, I live in a gated community and walking the pets will be easily accessible.

“Lindsey is excellent! I would enthusiastically recommend her. She was detailed and caring with our coonhound Reba. Lindsey carefully introduced her dogs to Reba and they seemed to hit it off (including cute videos of them playing together). Her dogs are gentle and friendly, so it was nice to know Reba was getting social time in while we were away! Lindsey was detailed about Reba’s diet, schedule, walks, etc. She asked questions to make sure she understood all her needs. She was completely responsive and available. She sent just the right amount of pictures and videos. Thank you so much, we are so glad we found you!”


“Stephanie was a great sitter for my nervous dog. By the end the boarding my dog was sitting on her lap. She gave many updates and was very happy to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend and plan to use her again”



About: I’ve been around dogs for ten plus years and have loved every moment of it. I raised two pups from 17 weeks old and 8 weeks old. I care deeply for them and treat every dog like family I’m currently on summer vacation and I’ve available during the week for the next couple of months. I’ll be home walking my dog, playing with her outside and enjoying the hopefully warm weather. I care for pets by giving them what they need. A couple short or long walks a day along with playing. Feeding them along with making sure there is enough water. Giving all the cuddle and pets

“I can’t recommend enough Kellwin for doing an amazing job, taking care of Khloe. From the very beginning communication was clear and prompt. He created a space for dog parents new to Rover to ask questions and share information. Throughout the entire stay we received regular updates and the cutest pictures of Khloe that helped ease our minds. It was clear that Khloe was happy and in great hands. Should there ever be another need for dog sitting, we will be looking to rebook with Kellwin. Thank you again for taking such great care of Khloe.”


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.

About: I’m experienced with cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life mostly big dogs. I now have small dogs and cats. But I have love for them all❣️ I have a lot of free time on my hands and would love to help any fur babies out there! My hours are flexible everyday I treat them as my own babies. Let me know what you’re comfortable with and I’ll manage! You can trust your fur babies would be in good hands.
