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!
“Amber was great with my dog Mia, who can get a little anxious sometimes! She was super caring and I appreciated all the pictures and updates! Would definitely book with her again!”
“Amazing! Can’t thank you enough- above and beyond my expectations! I booked last minute labor weekend Vacation and Cinthia was able to not just accommodate the stay but also to come and meet and Greet. Justin has a very high Anxiety level without treating any Medication, An escape artist and very Suspicious.. It was great the way he clicked with Cinthia and felt comfortable she kept sending pictures and descriptions of the day. Highly recommended❤️?”
“Wendy did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs - and my home - while we were gone for two weeks. She followed instructions about their different dietary needs, and took them to local parks for longer walks. Both dogs can be a bit anxious, but they got so much love and attention from Wendy and were calm and happy when we got home. I would highly recommend Wendy and will certainly use her again!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing at housesitting and taking care of our babies. She communicates wonderfully, sends tons of questions, is able to solve problems without freaking out, and doesn’t hesitate to let you know if things happen. We absolutely loved having her watch our dogs, it made going on vacation less stressful knowing they were with her!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, looking after puppies, adults, and seniors. I understand their needs based on their energy, age, and personality, whether it’s a gentle walk for older dogs or a sprint with active pups. Friends and neighbors trust me to babysit their dogs while they work or travel, knowing I’ll keep them safe, happy, and loved. I love walking, practicing tricks with dogs in training, and spending quality time with furry friends. Your dog’s safety is my priority—I’m mindful of weather conditions, avoid risks, and always communicate about treats, routes, or special instructions. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a task; it’s truly a joy. I work from home two days a week and am usually home on weekends. My job is flexible, allowing me to take breaks during the day, which I love using for refreshing walks—especially with a dog by my side. I can also babysit dogs while working from home, as my apartment allows pets. I don’t have roommates, and my husband loves dogs just as much (if not more) than I do, so your pup will get plenty of love and attention in a calm, pet-friendly environment. I currently don’t have dogs of my own, as my pups live with my mom, so I truly miss spending time with furry friends and would love to care for yours. In my apartment, your pet will have enough space to rest and play indoors. I live less than 400 feet from a dog park, and the neighborhood is perfect for dog walking, giving your pup the chance to explore and get fresh air. My husband also works from home, so together we’ll keep a close eye on your furry friend, ensuring they’re happy, safe, and loved. If I’m caring for your pet at your home, I’ll adapt to their routine and the space they’re familiar with. Depending on the length of the stay, I’ll make sure they’re walked, given attention, and engaged in light training or play. For longer periods, I’m happy to work remotely from your location to provide consistent companionship and care.
About: Hi, I’m Kylie! I’ve been pet sitting for over 12 years and have had dogs my whole life—they’ve always been my favorite family members. I’m totally obsessed with animals and treat every pet like my own. I’m super active and always up for long walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Whether your pet is high-energy or laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away! As a full-time speech therapist, I work during standard weekday hours—but I’m available for morning walks, evening check-ins, and weekend care. I’m great at working around my schedule to make sure your pet gets the love, attention, and activity they need, even during busy weeks! I am a very responsible and caring person, your pet will be under very good care with me! I am always down to give my 100 percent attention to a pet!
About: I’m experienced, intuitive, kind, and gentle. I love the hyper, enthusiastic dog as well as the gentle and shy one. I also understand when a dog misses its owner, needs attention or is ill. I have just returned home to Connecticut from Texas and have a lot of open time while we get settled. My schedule is open and flexible for you. I will come to your house to let out, walk, feed or bathe your pup. If you are in Darien, New Canaan, or Norwalk I am a short distance away. I am very safety and health conscious with your pet. Many pets have separation anxiety when an owner leaves and it is important to keep a regular schedule for sweetie.
“Janine was everything we hoped for! We have full trust in her taking care of our animals. Our dog is very high energy, and she exercised her more than we ever expected. Our dog loves her. She was also so good with our cats, and one of them is very difficult to please. She also left our home very clean. Will definitely be using her services again! The best. Thank you Janine!”
“Maria made me feel so comfortable leaving my fur babies home during vacation. I could tell quickly they were doing great and probably had a little vacation of their own while I was out of town!”
About: I’ve raised my two cats since they were kittens, so I’m confident with everything from nail trimming to administering oral medication and managing wood pellet litter systems. I’ve also been dog sitting and walking for family, friends, and neighbors since 2006, with experience caring for puppies and senior dogs alike. I'm patient, gentle, and treat every pet like they’re my own because they deserve nothing less. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday, but I’m available for early morning walks, feedings, and evening visits during the week. On weekends, I’m fully available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. I’m reliable, flexible, and always make time to give pets the love and attention they need. In my home, I care for my cats by keeping their litter boxes clean (especially using wood pellet systems), providing daily dedicated playtime, and maintaining a tidy, organized environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine closely, whether that’s long walks for dogs, administering medication, or following any special instructions. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same love and attention I give my own.

kaitlin s.
“We have a 10YO Rhodesian mix and a 4 month old Great Dane. From the time we brought our first home, Kaitlin has been playful, loving, attentive and proud. In his later years, when she is home visiting, she is the first to jump in and help with his love and care and meds. In addition, she balances her time and attention between him and our new puppy. And I could not ask for a better partner with our new Dane. Her willingness to jump in and take over the new-parent responsibilities (crate training, feeding, outdoor time, sleep schedule, clean-up, etc.) highlights her love for dogs and a level of responsibility many of her peers haven’t reached yet.”

Katia L.
“atia has been an absolute lifesaver when it comes to caring for Puki while I travel for work. Puki has some hip issues and needs extra patience, love, and attention, and Katia provides all of that and more. The longest Puki has stayed with Katia was two weeks, and I couldn’t have been more at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Katia treats Puki like one of her own, ensuring she’s comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. I’m so grateful to have someone as trustworthy and compassionate as Katia to look after Puki. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is not only safe but also genuinely loved while I’m away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
Kylie C.
“Kylie was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She took such great care of our two dogs, treating them like her own and making sure they felt safe, loved, and entertained the whole time we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dogs can be a bit high-maintenance, but Kylie handled their routines and quirks with patience and kindness. We came home to two very happy pups and a spotless house. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them again!”
Cindy B.
“I've known Cindy for about four or five years while she was in Texas. The dog she had for many years passed away last year and she always said that getting another when the time was right was high up on her list. Cindy is energetic and very well organized. She loves her plants and all animals (even cats). I am certain that any interaction between her and a dog or dogs would be very beneficial for both of them.”

He kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was clear the dogs were happy and comfortable with him. Sergio is kind, reliable, and truly cares about animals. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Highly recommend!”

Rosa was an amazing and communicative dog sitter. Honestly we don’t know what we would have done without her! She boarded my senior dog who has a lot of medical issues and she did an amazing job taking care of him. Not a single issue and she even gave him a bath, washed his bed, and made sure everything was in good shape before picking him up. I will definitely book her again!
I adopted Winston in December, so this was my first time going away while having a pup. Alison loved on Winston, making both him and me feel comfortable and confident that everything would be okay! He’s a quirky pup, and she made sure he had a blast and was well cared for. When he had a small issue with his food, she let me know right away, and we quickly figured it out together and after that, everything was fine. I so appreciated her caring nature and patience and felt incredibly lucky knowing he was happy and loved while I relaxed on my family vacation. I’m thrilled that Winston will get to spend time with Alison again during my first international trip in September!
This was our first time using Kat and she was a wonderful dog sitter! She focused on Irie, took great care to remember our specific instructions, and asked just the right questions, and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. We look forward to working with Kat often in the future. :-)
We had an amazing experience with Janine! She took such great care of our dog, Shelby with lots of walks, love, and attention. She kept us updated regularly with pictures and let us know right away when Shelby had an upset stomach and didn’t eat breakfast, which we really appreciated. It was clear she genuinely cared about Shelby and wanted her to be happy and comfortable. She even took care of our leopard gecko and watered our plants while we were away! I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and caring sitter.
I’m so grateful to have found Sarah to care for our dog Nash! From the initial meet and greet to the end of our trip, she has been an absolute pleasure and has truly gone above and beyond every step of the way. She stayed at our home for a long weekend and took absolutely wonderful care of both Nash and our house. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Sarah kept me updated throughout the stay, and I came home to a very happy pup and a spotless house. I can’t wait to book her again for all of our upcoming travel (and I know Nash will be excited too)—she’s truly a gem and I cannot recommend enough!
This was our first sit with Nathalie and she exceeded all expectations. She was more than happy to come over before the sit to meet us and our puppies. She asked all of the right questions and was great with our larger rescue puppy who has stranger danger. Nathalie provided updates on our two dogs while we were on vacation and photos. She is extremely responsive, polite, flexible and kind. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my 2 dogs in her care. We will absolutely be using Nathalie again !!
Amazing dog sitter for our 100+ pound Great Dane. Chloe took great care of our dog and house while we were away for a week. She gave updates, photos and was a great communicator all round. Highly recommended for house stays and walking. Will definitely use Chloe again.
I am so glad I found Josh. One of my dogs can be aggressive towards the other one, and it takes a lot of vigilance and management to deal with that problem. He handled everything perfectly while I was away, and was flexible about staying a little longer when my plane was delayed.
