About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, both personally and professionally. I grew up with dogs and have always had them as part of my daily life. I also worked at a doggy daycare, where I gained experience supervising multiple dogs, understanding behavior, and maintaining a safe, structured environment. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I’m able to provide. I work remotely, which means I’m home throughout the day and can give your dog consistent supervision, companionship, and care. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will be in a calm, comfortable environment. I’m attentive, patient, and focused on making sure each dog feels safe and at ease. I follow routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions you provide, so your dog feels right at home. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care. I’m already used to structuring my day around a dog’s needs, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and regular breaks. Because of this, dogs in my care get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long periods. I enjoy having that companionship during the day and make sure each dog feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for. I provide a safe, comfortable, and relaxed home environment where dogs can feel at ease. My apartment has multiple rooms, and dogs are welcome to move freely throughout the space, including the living room and bedroom. They’re also welcome on furniture, so they can feel right at home. I have all the essentials ready, including food and water bowls, toys, and a clean, pet-friendly space. There is also a grassy area right across the street where I take dogs out regularly for bathroom breaks and fresh air. Since I work remotely, I’m home throughout the day to supervise, provide attention, and make sure your dog is safe and well cared for. I also have a roommate who is often home, so there is an extra level of presence and support. I always follow each pet owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any specific needs, to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away.
“Stefanie was amazing! I needed some last minute help and she was super responsive and wonderful. My boy was safe in her hands and I really look forward to working with her again!”
“Nicole was great with our dog, Odey, on his first walk! She was patient, communicative, and shared lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. Especially helpful given his separation anxiety. Looking forward to continuing to work with her!”
“Michelle did so great with Zephyr! We were so worried about having to leave him alone all day for the first time. He's only 8 months old, so we really needed to break up his alone time. I was so nervous, but Michelle made everything so much better! Zephyr had the best time with her and we are definitely going to have her back!”
“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”
“Amazing thank you so so much! First time using rover so was a little nervous but they did an awesome job with communication and sending pics to let me know my Cody was doing well on his walks :) 10/10 would use again. Thank you!!”
About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter offering dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats.

I’m attentive, communicative, and easy to reach, and I’ll always keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to focus on pet care. I’m consistent, reliable, and make sure to show up on time and fully focused on each visit. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pet’s needs. To keep your pet comfortable and stress-free, I care for them in their own home so they stay in a familiar environment.

I stay attentive at all times, give them space when needed, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being.
“Chris is the absolute best!! He has walked Baxter so many times and taken care of him overnight at our house. I always know Baxter is in great hands, in the photos he sends Baxter is literally being his happiest self! I would highly recommend Chris for both walks and overnight stays! 💕”
“Stephanie is an outstanding care taker for our baby Phoebe. She goes above and beyond to make sure our anxious pup feels comfortable and safe. She pays very close attention to detail and takes care of Phoebe as if she were her own. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my childhood dog was such an important part of my family, and ever since her passing, I’ve always felt a piece missing. While living in Florida, I began helping my mom at a local animal shelter by walking the dogs, and that experience only deepened my love and passion for caring for them. Since I work a full-time job, my availability during the week is somewhat limited. However, I am available for local dog walks in the mornings before work and again after work. I also have a very flexible schedule on weekends and am more than willing to work with you to find times that best fit your schedule. I am more than happy to meet your dog ahead of time before walking them just so they get a sense of my behavior and I can get an understanding of theirs. Sidenote: I do live in an apartment and due to my lease, I am unable to have them in my home.
“Luke is wonderful - always arrives right on time and is enthusiastic. The dogs can’t want for his arrival each day! The dogs wait eagerly by the door and are exhausted when they come home.”
“Katharine is absolutely wonderful! She’s reliable, caring and clearly loves dogs. My dog is so excited every time she arrives, and I always know he’s in great hands. She sends updates and photos after each walk. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind!”
“Nicole is an exceptional dog sitter and provide individualized care to my dog who’s quite anxious. Very grateful for her and rely on her when we have unexpected trips.”

Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I’m here to ensure they feel loved and understood!
“Alexa is terrific with our sometimes difficult dog. He loved her from the moment he met her! Alexa is extremely conscientious, keeping me updated on her arrival and departure and always checking his food and water before she leaves. And she takes the BEST pictures of their walks!”
About: I’ve worked for shelters throughout college and fostered multiple cats, my longest foster was a year! I currently have three cats of my own, adopted from various shelters in NYC and all are super friendly! I’m very good at socializing cats for children friendly homes as well! I’m currently working full time, but I live across the street from my office. So I constantly have easy access to my cats or any fur baby in my home! My schedule is flexible during the week and I am also able to do overnight stays in areas around Stamford! I have a pet friendly apartment that is perfectly situated to house cats overnight or for a day! Fit with water fountains, toys, automatic feeders, and extra space is a cat needs some alone time. I also have multiple double sized litter boxes or a mini litter box situated in the bathroom. Lastly, I have a camera system to monitor the cats fitted with iOS notifications for any emergencies or alarms in the home.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’ve trained multiple puppies, cared for senior dogs, and have years of experience looking after cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always make sure each pet feels safe and loved. I currently work from home, so I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. At the moment, I’m not able to offer boarding, as my own pets may not adjust well to new animals in the home. My approach is calm and understanding. I like to respect each pet’s unique personality and habits. I don’t believe in being overly strict, but I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

If you have any special instructions Josh will adhere to them perfectly. So if you hire Josh you will know that your pet is in excellent hands and you can have total peace of mind.
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Arianne. She was our regular dog walker for Boosh and Graham, and we are genuinely heartbroken that she’s moving away. From day one, Arianne was incredibly reliable — always prompt, on time, and extremely communicative. We never once had to worry when the dogs were in her care. What truly set Arianne apart was the way she cared for our dogs as if they were her own. She was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly took the time to understand their personalities and needs. Boosh and Graham absolutely adored her, and it was obvious how comfortable and happy they were with her. Arianne consistently went above and beyond, whether through detailed updates, photos, or simply the peace of mind she gave us knowing our dogs were safe, loved, and well cared for. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her — we would continue using her forever if we could. We give Arianne our highest possible recommendation without hesitation!
Teresa was amazing with my 1 year old puppy! She had great communication from the start and made sure to ask thoughtful, thorough questions- even checking in about where I was comfortable having my dog walked. I really appreciated the detailed update and adorable photos she sent. It’s always nerve wracking having someone new watch your fur baby, but I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in her care. I’ll definitely be booking with Teresa again!
