About: My love of dogs led me to start a dog walking business when I was only 10 yrs old. Once I finally convinced my parents to get a dog, I was 15 and we ended up with two bichon-malteses who were the loves of my life. As an adult, my career has me traveling frequently so I haven’t become a pet owner, but I continue to dogsit for friends and neighbors because I love the companionship when I’m home. I am committed to providing your dog a comfortable home away from home where they will be well cared for and loved. I work from home Mondays and Fridays so can be available for care for a long weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon). My availability may be limited based on work travel. I live in a dog friendly building, where there is greenery and walking paths around the building for daily walks and enjoy going for longer walks in nearby parks.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Darien
“Josie had such a lovely day with Clinton, his dog, and his son! She got lots of cuddles, time to roam around the fenced backyard, and plenty of window watching, three of her favorite things. Clinton communicated well and sent lots of great photos. I’ll definitely be bringing her back!”
“Kevin is an incredible dog sitter!!! He has the perfect set up and my high-energy pitty got plenty of exercise. She was totally wiped out when I picked her up. He has a few pups of his own who are very well socialized and made my dog’s stay even better. He’s also very experienced with slow intros and the specific needs of your pup. I will 100% be using him as my local dog sitter when I’m in town!”
“When I told our little dog that we were going to visiti Tina & Jon, she couldn't stop jumping for joy! We once took our dog to doggie daycare. They said, she just stayed with the "human" in the room. Playing with Tina & Jon's 2 little dogs has helped ours enjoy playing with other 4 legged animals with glee : )”
About: I have a lifetime of caring for my own pets, including senior care. I am loving, attentive, observant and treat every animal as my own. Rover is my sole job so there are no competing demands in my life. I am focused on the dogs in my care and my schedule allows for multiple walks in your neighborhood or mine, play time and of course hugs and kisses. No matter the age or special needs of your dog, I have the time, maturity and focus to give your dog the care they deserve. My home is safe clean and in a good neighborhood, two 2 large lawns where your dog can be walked & play. I am familiar with all local vets, emergency services and dog parks.
“Andrea is a terrific find. As a former licensed family day care provider for children, she takes the same attentive care to each dog in her daycare pack. My puppy gets so excited and runs like crazy into her house as soon as we enter the driveway. We go 2-3 times a week now. Andrea Is so flexible in the number of hours and changing schedules our dog can stay, she’s greatly improved my life and given me far more freedom than our dear but demanding dog’s constant need for socializing and play can provide, when I have to sit at my desk for long periods to work, or spend the day in NYC for many hours. We’re so grateful for Andrea’s daily smile, unruffled calm with the animals, and sense of responsibility. The assorted fur kids, with daily alternates, all seem to get along comfortably. This our 3rd CT dog, this time a King Charles Cavalier, would show it if he wasn’t really happy. Thank you Andrea!”
“Elaine is wonderful. My dog loves going to her home for day care. He comes home and is completely exhausted in the best way possible. Last time he was there, I picked him up at 5pm and he was ready for bed at 6pm and didn’t wanna run or do much of anything but sleep till noon the next day. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!”
“Daniela was great with my pup! She asked great questions that made me feel confident that he would be safe and comfortable with her. We will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I am nurturing, very reliable and absolutely adore all of my fur friends! I find so much joy walking with my client's doggos. I take care of them as if they are my own and do my best to honor any and all requests. For doggy daycare and for boarding, I create a safe, relaxing & playful home for your dog with loads of love & snuggles mixed in. I have a 5 yr old cairn terrier who gets along wonderfully with other dogs. My furry friends make themselves right at home in our house and outside in our fully fenced-in backyard. We also live in a safe walkable neighborhood that is very pet-friendly for dog walks. I have been around dogs my whole life but have been professionally walking dogs and boarding dogs part time for about 2 years. I am now looking to expand my clientele and would to love to set up a meet & greet or talk over the phone! **For doggy daycare, please note, I only have dogs that are great around children and other dogs and have updated vaccines.** For doggy daycare, your pup will never be left home alone for more than 2 hours (I can absolutely make accommodations to be home more if requested). I also love to take requests for dog walks M-Th. Pet friends are in a comfortable and loving environment here, free to play & relax indoors or out in our fully fenced yard. Sleeping preference is whatever they like best. We love to play, go for walks and chill with all our doggo friends!
“Judy was great. Met me downstairs right when I pulled up, asked ahead of time for me to bring any special toys, had plenty of different dog treats and asked which one I would prefer she give Charlie if any. She also sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was waiting for my downstairs (from her apartment) when I returned. Easy recommendation.”
About: I have lived with and helped assist in the training of multiple breeds of dogs over the last 10 years. I have fully trained my own dog myself which included house training, leash training, recall and commands. **PLEASE NOTE** - Drop-in visits are for quick potty breaks and play/attention inside a home or fenced in yard. If you'd like a walk for your pup in your neighborhood I kindly ask that you book a 30 minute walk rather than a drop-in. Thank you so much!!! As an entertainment industry worker impacted by the current WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, I have generally open availability to provide care to your pets from Monday-Friday. My furbaby, Cosmo, is a very friendly 18-pound Maltese/Yorkie mix who loves to run and play with other dogs, big or small! He will be around during overnight stays, and occasionally on walks/dog park visits with other pups unless you specify that you prefer he not be present.
“Jolysa was more then accommodating for our little pug. We were just passing thru Stamford to meet family and she watched our little guy for us, and made sure he drank some water before we arrived back to finish the rest of our drive. Thanks so much for watching him on such short notice . We definitely recommend Jolysa to watch your Furry family member.”
“Lena is a true professional dog carer..she took the time my dogs needed to feel comfortable with them. Very accomodating to their individual quirks, truly feel they are safe and happy in her care. Grateful to have found her! Also, bonus, her son is wonderful and my Midge is in LOVE with him.”
“Liza made sure Beau was so cared for! She kept him entertained throughout the day and active. He felt so comfortable with her and she was wonderful to communicate with! I felt truly at ease leaving our pup with her.”
“Another great week with monika! She always provides good updates/pictures and is super responsive. Nate has only been there a few times so far but is already excited when we get out of the car at her place when we drop him off. I think he knows where he’s going now!”
About: Hello there, Let me talk a little bit about myself, since I was a kid, I grew up with so many kinds of animals, horses, chickens, ducks, birds, and about 8 dogs. But there was always this connection between me and the puppies. so, time went by so quick, and I got older and i decided to get me the most beautiful Husky. I never thought this boy would teach me so many things. I had some struggles training him, but I accomplished something that I thought it was impossible to do with huskies. now that he is getting a little older, I decided to get him a sister but this time I went with a German shepherd. every time I get around new people, they always ask me if I'm a dog trainer because the way my 2 babies are well behaved. So as all of you can see or image, I have many years of experience, I have been around dogs my whole life, I just love them if I could give my live to safe one. Thank you I work from home between 4AM-11AM so after that I free every day. or sometimes I don't even work and have plenty of free time to play with puppies. I make sure there's always that morning walk, make sure they eat and do their business outside, but specially I make sure they feel the love from the human so they can feel safe.

About: Hello! My name is Skyler and I am currently a mammal trainer at an AZA accredited aquarium with a background in veterinary care. I would love to help walk your dog, whether you have certain training goals or just needing extra help while you are at work! I started my career by walking my friend’s crazy, (but adorable) puppy in high school. I was able to help train the puppy during every walk, and left her tired out when her owner got home. I am off two of the busiest days of the week- Monday and Tuesday. I have full availability to do drop ins, daycare, or dog walks! I have an unfenced yard and plenty of grass out front. I take frequent trips to my local park that has tons of room to play.

I maintain your pet’s normal routine to minimize stress. I keep food/water fresh, clean litter boxes, and handle any medications exactly as instructed. I offer playtime, brushing, cuddles, or quiet companionship—whatever your pet prefers. I also keep your home tidy, bring in mail, water plants, and ensure everything is safe when I leave. Above all, I focus on professionalism, compassion, and keeping your pet comfortable and happy while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of several dogs in the past of different ages. This care has included walks, dog sitting overnight and drop in’s. Some of the dogs have required medication and specialized diets. I am currently in a masters program for Occupational Therapy. I am available Monday-Thursday in the morning, Friday nights and Saturday-Sunday all day. I am near some parks with lots of grassy areas and am in a good neighborhood.

About: I have cared for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs of different ages and needs. I am dependable, attentive, and passionate about animal care. I enjoy spending time with dogs and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently work from home so I have a lot of free time. Why not spend time with furry friends! It’s also a great opportunity to take a breather and get fresh air during daily dog walks. When caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure that their daily routines are maintained to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

“Alexis came in for two weeks on last minute notice. She was extremely reliable, communicative and hard-working. Frankie clearly loved her as well from the photos we received. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life — four dogs, a cat, hamsters, and even reptiles, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and personalities. Since I was 10 I’ve taken care of neighborhood dogs, from quick walks to full days of care while owners were away. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I’m currently home for the summer with a flexible schedule, so I can offer consistent care — whether it’s a single walk, daily drop-ins, or a longer house sit. I always leave the home exactly as I found it. I’m currently home for the summer with a flexible part-time schedule, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I’m generally available afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and can often accommodate short-notice requests as well. I’m not able to host pets at my own home, so I focus on drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting at the owner’s home. When caring for pets in their own environment, I follow the owner’s routines and instructions closely, make sure all doors and gates are secure, and keep a close eye on the pet at all times to ensure their safety and comfort.
“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!”
“Kate is very reliable and sweet with my senior dog Oliver. She really has helped me out in a pinch when I unexpectedly have to be at work. I have such peace of mind when I know Kate is taking care of Oliver!”

About: I’m the type of sitter who pays attention to the little things — routines, favorite toys, energy levels, and comfort needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I adapt to what each pet needs.

I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel happy and comfortable. I care for pets by creating a safe, calm, and loving environment while following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised playtime, walks, feeding on schedule, and a comfortable space to relax and feel at home. In a client’s home, I respect their pet’s routine, environment, and instructions to help keep things familiar and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, dietary needs, and comfort, and I make sure owners receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Lindsay saved the day! She was absolutely wonderful with our admittedly nervous little guy, and was utterly helpful as could be. We literally cannot give her a better review. I wish there were more stars. Thank you Lindsay.”
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Spending time with animals is my happy place and nothing brings me more joy than caring for and playing with them. I have a great deal of experience taking care of many dogs of various breeds and sizes. I currently have the flexibility to fully dedicate myself to what I would call my dream job which is working with animals. I can go on long or short walks and have an enclosed dog park around my area. I have taken care of dogs with medical problems and have experience giving dogs medicine such as eye drops and pills. I am a quick learner when it comes to the specific conditions the owner has for their dog .
