“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.”
“Kevin was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover, my dog usually stays with family or friends, and he made me feel at ease having Roni with him for the day. He asked great questions beforehand that made me feel confident he would be good at handling dogs. And when Roni was with him for the day, he sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on how he was doing. I will definitely use Kevin again! It made me feel better knowing Roni was at someone’s house, being watched by someone who’s really good with dogs, and had dog friends to play with.”
“Judy is an amazing sitter! She was extremely communicative, prepared and responsible. I’m very picky and have had bad experiences with other sitters in the past but I feel totally at ease when my dog is with her. I’d recommend her 100%! :-D”
About: I have been caring for and grooming dogs and cats since I was 12 years old, and I am comfortable with both dogs and cats. I am always available for pet sitting, I work from home and I am more likely available for the weekdays and weekends to pet sit. I have a big yard that my two dogs love to run around in. My dogs are friendly and can keep your dogs company if you want and if not I can separate the dogs and they won’t have to interact with each otherr, and I have crates if needed.

“Dew goes above and beyond for my puppy. Checks in regularly when he is in her care and even checks in when he is at home. As a first time user of a dog-sitter, I was anxious about leaving my puppy in someone else’s care. Dew almost immediately alleviated my concerns. I feel like her care has been a major benefit for me and for my puppy’s social development. Will continue to take advantage of Dew’s services for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!”
“I am a first time dog mom and my Shih Tzu went to stay with them for the day last min and she was so nice. Communication was great because I cried at first because he has not been with other people since I got him. Max loved them he was so happy & excited when he was me .The update videos and pictures reassured me that he was in great hands. Will be booking again very soon”
“Jay is great with my pup. He is attentive, caring, and great for doggie day care. His pup is a great playmate and snuggle buddy. He is flexible and understanding and is always able to work with me and my work schedule.”

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. I also make sure the home remains clean and secure while providing pets with plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I am attentive to each pet's individual needs and committed to creating a safe, loving environment while their owners are away.

“I highly recommend Sofia. She is extremely professional and a natural with my (2) dogs. They love her. I always know my dogs are well cared for when Sofia is in charge. I am so happy I found her.”
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.

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.”

They came back happy and well taken care of. Kyle was very responsive and punctual. There was a little miscommunication during their stay, but Kyle was so quick at resolving the issue and offer alternative solution without me even asking. This is a major PLUS! To any pet parents, you are in good hand when booking with Kyle.”
