About: Growing up with pets, it’s something that I’ve naturally always loved. I enjoy seeing my pets pampered and happy, and it’s a joy that I hope to express with other people. I’m currently a student and work part time. Class 9:00 AM - 12:15 on Tuesday-Thursday (in Stamford). I usually work mornings Fri-Sun (in Norwalk) and could get out 1:00 or even 4:00 but never later than 5:00 pm. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex and neighborhood. There’s a lot of space for walking or playing right outside. In my own home, I have a playpen for my pups whenever I’m not home so that I know they’re safe while I’m away.
About: Dogs are my world! I care for five of my own, groom, train, and teach tricks. I love dog sitting for friends and family, making sure every pup gets playtime, belly rubs, and lots of love. From wiggly puppies to wise seniors, I keep tails wagging and spirits high! Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I care for my own dogs every day through feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and basic training. I also regularly dog sit for family , so I’m used to planning my schedule around pets and making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and care. The pups I watch will have their own cozy space in my room with a fun playpen and lots of toys! They’ll get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. My own dogs stay downstairs, but if the owner is okay, their pup can safely hang out and play with my friendly fur babies. Every dog gets a happy, safe, and tail-wagging environment while in my care!
About: For starters, I have had animals (of all kinds) for as long as I can remember. In 2020, the peak of COVID, I was blessed with my pup, Piper. I have had her since she was about 8 weeks and now, she's six! I have had a great deal of experience with puppies, as well as older pups who may need oral or injectable medication. I would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies! I am fortunate enough to work from home, so that leaves my days/weeks extremely flexible! I am mostly a homebody and don't do much during the weekdays/weekends. I do also attend classes online finishing my pre-med which is an important focus of mine right now! I have a perfect fur baby to keep your fur baby company. If you would prefer me to stay or visit your fur baby in your home, I am also more than happy to do so! Of course, we can do a meet & greet prior!

About: I’ve had dogs growing up. As an adult I have had cats and dogs, many of whom had special needs. I have had two blind cats and cats and dogs with various chronic medical conditions. I also have a veterinary assistant certificate from Norwalk Community College and I have worked as a vet assistant. I am retired for now. This leaves me time to focus on your animals. I can do sleepovers as well as daily walks and home visits for cats. I cannot take pets in my home but can do walks and sleepovers in a clients home. If an owner has a fenced in yard and the dog likes going out in the yard I would go with the dog and not leave the dog unattended. If the dog is used to walks we would walk.
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. I understand every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat them like my own! 🐾 I do most of my work from home so I am available most days at any time to help out with any dog activities you need! Open to weekdays and Weekends. I love finding new areas and parks for long walks and open space. Our apartment is very clean and has space for any pet to rest and get comfy.

About: I’ve had my own dogs since I was 11 and have cared for family and friends’ pets. I’m experienced, responsible, and comfortable handling both energetic dogs and busy situations, including caring for a large dog while babysitting a young child. I work part-time and am usually available in the mornings and late afternoons on weekdays. My weekend schedule can vary, but I am flexible when needed. I respond quickly and try to communicate clearly to make scheduling easy. I have a dog and prioritize safe, supervised care. I usually take dogs to my backyard or a nearby park for walks and play in a secure environment.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up around dogs and have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, especially senior pups who need a little extra love and support. I cared for my mini dachshund from childhood through her older years and have looked after many pets with medical conditions, so I’m confident giving medication, staying on top of routines, and tuning into what each pet needs. As a therapist, I bring a calm, loving, and attuned presence to every visit. I treat every pet with reliability, warmth, and lots of snuggles. Whether it’s playtime, a slow walk, or just company while you’re away, I’m here to care for your pet with heart. I work remotely and make my own schedule as a therapist, so I’m able to easily build pet care into my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, and check-ins. I’m used to structuring my schedule around care and consistency, so your pet would get reliable attention, supervision, and lots of affection throughout the week. I’m especially experienced with small dogs who are curious, clever, and love to squeeze into tight spaces, so I know firsthand how important it is to stay attentive. I make sure pets are always in my line of sight or that I know exactly where they are at all times. I also check in with clients about house rules, including which areas are pet-friendly or off-limits, and I work with them to create a safe, comfortable environment. Whether it’s keeping doors closed, watching for sneaky hiding spots, or just being extra mindful, I prioritize your pet’s safety and wellbeing like they’re my own.
About: The love and respect I’ll treat your furry family with is based on my expertise in Yale-trained Canine Cognition and Pet Therapy experience with Tails of Joy. As a remote policy analyst and consultant without a dog of my own, my availability is flexible enough to accommodate you and yours! Reach out when you’re in need of trusted care(: I care for dogs in my clients’ homes by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and routine. Whether I’m house sitting, doing drop-in visits, or walking, I make sure each dog receives personalized care based on their energy level, temperament, and any special instructions you provide. For house sitting or drop-in visits, I respect your home and make sure your dog feels safe in their familiar surroundings. I follow feeding schedules, administer any medications if needed, and give them quality time and affection. During walks, I ensure your dog gets physical exercise and mental stimulation in a safe, controlled environment. I pay attention to leash manners, local weather, and your dog’s pace and preferences. No matter the service, I treat every dog like they’re my own—keeping you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pup is in good hands.

“Kelly took the time to get more familiar with my two pets and their schedules to prepare for a longer overnight stay! The extra effort and questions about caring for them was much appreciated.”

“Kevin and Ana came exactly when they said, walked my dogs and dried them off from the rain, and were very communicative. When my new address was not updated in the system and they ended up at my old address, they contacted me right away and without hesitation went to my new address 20 minutes away.

“So grateful for Leigh. She took excellent care of my senior cat for over a week. Mid-trip, my cat started refusing his medicine. Leigh was confident and able to administer his medication regardless (via oral pill, something I myself I have never had success doing - I usually get him to lick it off a spoon covered in churu). She even stayed past her contracted time to make sure that he would receive his medication. Leigh truly cares for cats. She had a very comforting effect on my Pablo, I could see from photos he looked content and relaxed. Thank you, Leigh!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stamford
We absolutely love our dog sitter, Michelle! She has consistently been wonderful with our girls, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring hands whenever we’re away. She goes above and beyond to make sure they’re not only fed and walked, but also given plenty of playtime, attention, and love. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about their happiness and well-being, and that means the world to us. Finding someone you can trust with your fur babies is priceless, and we’re so grateful to have found her! We couldn’t recommend her enough! ❤️🐾

Maria is incredibly responsive, communicative, and reliable. She’s always quick to respond to messages and keeps us updated during and after each visit with our puppy. She provides thorough feedback and does a wonderful job, which gives us great peace of mind.

i never met elvia, only spoke on the phone, making arrangements for my dog. Having never met her, leaving my house keys was honestly a bit uncomfortable for me. however, given her excellent reviews, i decided to just trust and go for it. elvia came exactly on time, fed and played with my dog for a half hour and then left. everything went just as planned. her communication was great, which was essential, and put me at ease. i had a postive experience.

Hanaya is perfect! I can only say good things! She helped us out in a terrible pinch. She was responsive and prompt about it, willing to commit to what I consider to be a challenging job, and she did it reliably and proved very flexible as well. I’m going to use her again the next time something comes up!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Stamford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
