“Patrícia was great! It was our first time having a rover sitter in our new house so our cat was a little scared but Patrícia handled it well. We absolutely trust her with our pet and property! Thanks!”
“We highly recommend Elvia for your cat/house sitting needs! She took care of our cat Dolly and was able to meet all of Dolly’s hands-on needs including a very detailed and intensive feeding protocol. Elvia was very communicative and followed all of our instructions beautifully, and Dolly even began warming up to her despite being a very timid and shy kitty who takes time to trust.”

We will not hesitate to book Samantha again in the future.”
“Paige is incredible! She is very reliable, flexible, and also very responsive. She is great with my two very shy kitties and has even gotten them to trust her enough to let her pet them (which is not a small feat). I trust her completely with my cats and I am always assured that they will be well cared for. I’ve booked Paige’s services for almost a year now and plan to keep booking her whenever she is available to help.”
“Kate dropped in on our cat, Bruno, for three days and was amazing! She gave very detailed updates daily, hung out with him for a little bit each day, and shared tons of pictures as well. Thank you so much Kate!”
“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!!”
“Bianca has amazing communication skills! I’m reassured my pet is well loved by her. She bonded with him right away! She’s considerate to his needs. She went above and beyond when my dog didn’t want to “make”.”
“She is absolutely amazing!! Highly recommended. Sweet, gentle, and extremely attentive. She watched our sweet Donatello (domestic long haired cat while we were away).”
“Thanks again KathyG. and thanks for the pics of Norris... outside, inside, eating, then shacked up in his cave. i like the side view pic of him eating bcuz it gives me a chance to eyeball his collar and make sure its still on.”
“Annabel did a great job for my 2 cats while I was away for a week. She sent great pictures and even cleaned up when they got into a treat bag one day. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you so much Daniela!! We were in Stamford for the week and instead of leaving Annie at the hotel all day we contacted Daniela and she was so awesome!

We will be back and will definitely book again!”
“Rafa LOVES Andrea. Rafa had a very full visit with Andrea and came home happy and exhausted. Andrea is very friendly and (obviously) loves dogs. She treats your dog like he is her own and I felt so comfortable leaving Rafa there. It was wonderful to have an evening out, knowing he was well cared for while also having a ball.”
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 6 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 3 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!
About: I've worked as a dog bather at two different dog grooming salons, where I gained experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My partner and I have also owned and cared for pets our whole life—we have 5 cats and regularly dog sit our family members' dogs. My partner and I work well as a team to make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and the best care possible. We also have experience working in the cleaning industry, so we understand the importance of keeping spaces safe, clean, and comfortable for animals. We currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows us to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. We take a daily run and would be happy to bring an energetic dog along if it’s something they’re comfortable with. We also go to the gym each evening from 8–10 PM, but outside of that we are home and available. Because of our flexible routine, we can provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding, and lots of love and attention to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away, at work, or just need a break for the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. We have experience caring for both dogs and cats and currently have 5 cats of our own, so we’re very familiar with daily pet care routines. We follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, and special needs. With our flexible schedule, we’re able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Bruno had an amazing time! He got to sunbathe, go on a walk, and clearly enjoyed himself all day. I was really nervous at first, but they sent me pictures throughout the day, which completely eased my fears. It meant so much to see how happy and comfortable he was. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him—highly recommended!!”
About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of dogs and cats, including pit bulls, golden retrievers, poodles, senior dogs, and tabby cats. I’ve also cared for pets with medication and dietary needs, including both oral and injectable medications. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether that means a long walk, plenty of play and attention, sticking closely to their feeding routine, or simply giving a nervous or senior pet some extra patience, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I’ll keep you updated with how your pet is doing and treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I currently work evening shifts at my family’s restaurant in Darien, so I’m generally available for pet care during the mornings and afternoons, as well as some evenings. My work schedule does not interfere with housesitting, and I’m able to provide attentive care throughout the day and overnight. For walks and drop-in visits, I’m happy to work around my evening schedule and coordinate times that work best for you and your pet. I have a fenced-in yard and a very docile and friendly golden retriever. She’s 11 and gets along with every animal she meets. When taking care of a pet at client’s homes, I prioritize leaving it in the same or better condition than I found it.
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.
“Chandi watched Vinnie for the day when we had a last minute request. Vinnie had the best time at her house! He played in the yard and enjoyed being with Chandi! Chandi sent photos and frequent updates about Vinnie’s day. We are so grateful for her help!!”
“Karen is an absolute gem! We did a meet and greet beforehand and immediately felt comfortable leaving our senior dog, Kuro, in her care. Kuro had such a great time with her, and we felt totally confident knowing he was in good hands. Karen was attentive, kind, and clearly loves what she does. She also sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, which we really appreciated. We’re definitely planning to rebook with her again!”
“Julia was so great with nori! She sent lots of pictures and communication was quick, easy and efficient. I felt so safe leaving her with Julia at her house and they spent a lot of time outside.”
About: I am a doting dog-mom to an anxious, rescue shih-tzu mix, and I’ve had dogs my whole life! Whether your dog is big or small, great on a leash or not, I am happy to spend time with them and attend to their individual needs! I am currently between jobs and I have a car, so I can come to your home with flexibility and ease! I am available most days after 10am! I am happy to walk your dog, spend quality time with them in the home, or play with them in the yard! I can also feed them and give medication or treats as needed!
“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.”
“Luke took care of Haru very well. He understands she needs a little more attention than adult dog, and made her happy. He sent her photos and she looked so relaxed. Highly recommended and I will book again for sure.”

“Josh is everything you want in a dog walker. He is 100% reliable and he communicates often and promptly. And of course he loves pets and he will make sure that your pet is extremely 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.”
“Iyanna and Tatiana were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They had to deal with a couple of obstacles and came through like champs. They are not only polite to us humans, they were great with our almost 15 year old Morkie. Their communication was second to none. We cannot thank them enough. Thank you both for making our lyric so much easier. We hope to see you again soon. ❤️”

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.
“Kerry is a gem!! My senior dog needs lots of TLC and patience (he's lost most of his vision and hearing, has trouble with stairs and occasionally gets confused), so I was nervous about bringing in someone to walk him. Kerry immediately put my fears to rest -- asked all the right questions, was wonderful with my dog, and communicated well and often during the visit. I won't hesitate to have him visit again and am relieved I found him.”
“Regi is friendly, reliable, and great with our 5 month old puppy. She is teaching him how to walk and she is so patient and loving with him. We are so grateful to have found her. We can’t recommend her enough!”

Deployed his bed, carrier and blanket around their home to give him a choice of comfort locations. Flexible as to time of pickup and drop-off. Could not have been happier with their service. And most important, our dog seemed comfortable while he was there. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and friendly place to leave their dog.”

I will definitely use her again.”
