Dog Sitting in Stamford

About: As a pet sitter, I am knowledgeable in puppy and elder dog care, medication administration, and reading pet body language, ensuring every dog and cat feels safe and loved. I currently have an open schedule, I am retired and I have dedicated my spare time to helping animals! You’ll find me either with my daughter’s dog or sitting a friends dog. I maintain a dog-proof home with pet-friendly cleaning products and out-of-reach plants. I’m attentive to behavior changes, prioritize owner requests, and communicate effectively to ensure pets are safe, well-cared for, and having fun!

“Alexis was wonderful. Very responsive and accommodating to what was a last minute request. Winnie took to her immediately and it was clear that she "knows" animals.”

“Stefanie was fantastic! She went above and beyond to take care of our cats. They were well loved and taken care of while we were away, and we will definitely ask her to look after them again in the future. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since having our first family dog when I was little. I trained our family dog to not only have discipline, but also do tricks! I recently trained my friend’s dog to do some fun tricks too. I love to give the pups all the attention and patience they deserve. I shared a cat all through college with my roommate and am familiar with cats needs. I currently have Friday-Sunday off so I’d love to board or do walks on the weekend. I’m also available in the mornings and evenings if walks are needed then. I live close to lots of walking paths and dog parks. It’s a great area to go on long walks or to the dog parks!

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.

“I definitely recommend using Paige! She’s very responsive, communicative, responsible, and goes above and beyond. I will be contacting her in the future!”

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.

About: Please read full bio before requesting to book 🐾 Hi! I’m Maria — graphic designer and house sitter based in Stamford, CT, accompanied by my two sweet dogs, Oliver and Touffy. They come with me on all house-sitting stays, offering built-in companionship and playtime for your pup. If your dog is friendly and social, it’s a wonderful opportunity for them to bond and have fun while you’re away. I’ve been caring for animals since childhood—growing up in Venezuela, my family rehabilitated wildlife like toucans, parrots, and tortoises, and we were always surrounded by beloved pets. This lifelong connection has shaped the care I provide today: present, intuitive, and deeply respectful of every animal’s unique needs. I’m also an animal communicator and specialize in dogs with separation anxiety. What You Can Expect During a House-Sitting Stay For your pet: • Social time with Oliver & Touffy • Daily play and enrichment (brain games, light training) • Trail walks and nature time • Personalized care that honors dietary needs, medications, and routine For your home: • Daily cleaning of used spaces • Bed linens and towels washed (if washer/dryer is available) • Trash taken out • A tidy, peaceful home to return to I work remotely and will be present throughout the stay leaving temporarily only for errands/appointments. This ensures your pet’s schedule remains intact and they’re never alone for long stretches. Your Experience: The best part of choosing us is that we LOVE capturing moments so we will keep you up to date with photos and videos throughout the day. Returning home should feel effortless — no mess, no stress, just a happy pet and a clean space. The more we know, the better: Understanding your pet’s daily routine is key to ensuring a fun and seamless stay with us. Whether it’s their favorite toy, sleeping in a crate, or receiving a special treat at a certain time, these familiar habits are important to me. By following their usual routine, I aim to make their time here as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I bring 20 years of experience in training and caring for dogs of various sizes and temperaments. My top priority is the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I’m particularly attentive during initial interactions, ensuring that all pets feel comfortable and secure when meeting for the first time. To help facilitate a smooth and stress-free experience, I strongly recommend a meet and greet before any booking. While I understand that last-minute bookings can arise, I always prefer to meet your pet in advance to ensure a positive and safe environment for everyone involved.

“We’re so grateful to Cindy for taking such wonderful care of our baby girl, Miss Saigon! While we were away, Cindy dropped by our home to feed her, play with her, and give her lots of love—and it made all the difference. Miss Saigon can be a little picky with new people, but she warmed up to Cindy so quickly. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was in such kind and capable hands. Cindy was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares deeply about the animals she looks after. Every visit update made us smile, and we came home to a very happy pup. Thank you again, Cindy—we’ll definitely be calling you next time! — Nikolas & Miss Saigon 🐶💕”

About: I grew up in a home with a revolving door of dogs, cats, and even rodents! This instilled in me not only a love of animals but a love of making sure every pet I meet and care for lead healthy and happy lives. I have raised, sat, and boarded dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments! I work part-time retail so my hours are a bit different every day meaning there’s a nice variety of life for the animals I visit but I always ensure that I have enough quality time with each pet. I make sure to know the pets needs (medical, physical, emotional) and build routines and safety from there! For client homes I always make sure to leave the house (and pet!) as clean as possible, especially after any indoor playtime!

“Katia was great with Luna! She is very sweet and responsive. She went above and beyond by bringing Luna outside to play. Luna was very happy! Would definitely book again :)”

About: Have had at least 2 dogs in my household since I was a child and love being around them. Most of my dogs have been larger breeds, so I do well around all types of dogs! Also have years of experience volunteering at various animal shelters. I currently do not have a full time job, so I am free any day of the week to take care of your pets! I typically am available between the hours of 9-5. As someone who has grown up around various types of animals my entire life, I am a trustworthy companion to your pet! I have experience caring for horses, cats, chickens, as well as dogs of course, under my own supervision.

About: Hi! My name is Gabrielle and I’m the proud owner of the sweetest St. Bernard mix that I rescued. I adore all dogs and they have always been a part of my life since I was young. I have experience caring for pets belonging to family and friends, including walking, feeding, bathing and playing with dogs big and small. I’d love to make sure your dog is taken care of and gets plenty of exercise and socialization during the day when you’re busy. I work from home so I’m able to be flexible with my schedule to help take care of your pup on weekdays with walks or drop in visits! I’m happy to cater to your dog’s needs and keep them in their usual schedule — just let me know if there’s anything specific I should know about your pup.

About: Our pets are family members and they should always be treated that way. I will be sure to take care and protect them while in my care. I work a typically 9-5 job during the work week. I am pretty flexible with my time before or after work. As well as the weekend. I will be sure to take care of your pet while respecting the privacy of your home. I will leave the household secured and your pet safe.

“Chase was responsible, timely, and had a great communication with every visit along with many pictures of a Chubbs! You can tell he is a really dog lover and treated our pup as if it was his own! Definitely will contact Chase again for any future needs!”
