“Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”
“Kevin was super kind and easy to work with! Communication was great from the beginning as he was prompt with accepting my request. I received pictures during the stay which I appreciated and helped keep my mind at ease. He asked plenty of questions to make sure everything went smoothly. My baby was her jolly self when I picked her up which lets me know she was well taken care of. He clearly has a true love for animals. I would absolutely use Kevin services in the future and recommend you give him a try 10/10.”
“This was my first time using Rover as a sitter and the choice was amazing thanks to Judy. She updated me often and sent pictures. My dog always looked happy and was enjoying herself. I feel safe leaving her with Judy as she is made our first experience a great one!”
“Richard and his wife are caring and took very care of my dog Paddy. My dog had a couple of great stays and we appreciate the daily updates and photos. We will continue using Richard and I highly recommend him if you are looking for a pet sitter whose house feels like home!”
“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”
“Clinton and his son Lincoln were fantastic. Lots of pictures and videos along with walks and play sessions. Our pup might have had more fun on vacation than we did. Highly recommend!”
“Nandita was amazing with our dog. Her house is lovely with a nice fenced yard. She sent us videos throughout the stay to make us comfortable. Would 100% recommend her!”
“Anner was very accommodating. The dogs were very happy with him. We did a trial run for an overnight stay to see how they managed. They were happy dogs. When I dropped them off for their stay they were both excited. Thank you Anner, you have two fans. I will definitely use your services again.”
“Juan took great care of my puppy! I was very nervous to leave her for the first time for the weekend, but she did great. Juan provided updates and my puppy seemed to be happy and tired when I picked her up! I think she loved being with Juan’s dog, and the large back yard to play. I highly recommend Juan.”
“Ivon was the most perfect peace of mind. We’re new to the area and she helped us in a pinch. She communicated often — and with lots of photos! We never had to wonder what our pup was up to, the updates were so frequent and thorough. And filled his day with so many fun activities. We’re so grateful!”
“Debbie took such great care of Bacca at her home while we were away overnight. Our sweet girl came home happy and tired. Debbie was wonderful with communicating and has such a warm personality; it was a pleasure working with her!”
“Yenis was great! She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos! Looked like our dog Tex had a great time and felt super comfortable! Would definitely book again 😊”
“My girls just spent the weekend with Barb and had a wonderful time. Barb was very easy to communicate with and kept me updated on how everyone was doing. Will definitely work with Barb again, she’s a very kind and caring pet sitter!”
“Irene was so sweet with our Oliver! She was very communicative and accommodating with our 4 month old pup! Thank you again for your help this week and we look forward to booking with you in the future!!”
“Excellent. Will hire Ariel again. Pleasant and capable, she followed all care instructions to a tee for my 17 yr old dog. Responsive to all communications and kept me up to date on his well being, which I'm skitzo about because of his age.”
“John was an outstanding Rover while my wife and I were out of town for thanksgiving. He provided us pictures and updates daily. He truly loves animals and it shows through his work, our golden retriever had an absolute blast. I’d highly recommend John to anyone in need of a dog sitter!”
“Yvonne was great with our dog Chopper. We couldn't take him with us for the holidays and after a desperate search for the right match, we chose to board him with Yvonne. We were quite anxious to leave him behind for a week but from the start Yvonne was very accommodating, reassuring and great at communicating before and during boarding plus she patiently guided us through our first experience with Rover. Yvonne's house is very clean, spacious and has an awesome enclosed yard and safe neighborhood for walks. Her lovely dog Ziggy kept Chopper company and overall the process felt like leaving our dog with a good friend. I can highly recommend trusting Yvonne with your dog.”
“Ashley was awesome with Spence! She watched him overnight and took such great care of him. The photo updates she sent were the best and totally put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so nice to see him looking relaxed and completely at home with her. Everything went so smoothly from drop-off to pick-up. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“I’m so glad we found Tina. Kallie who can be skeptical about unfamiliar situations seemed to take to her and her daughter right away. Since we rarely leave her for any length of time, we were so relieved that her stay worked out so well. Tina went beyond the call of duty - keeping us updated and sending pictures often, even cleaning Kallie’s eyes and ears. Thanks for everything Tina, and I’m sure anyone would be happy to have their dog stay with you Taffy and Mike Rodell”

Cat caregivers near you - Cove-East Side
“Ursula took care of my kitty during a holiday break when I was in a pinch which I appreciated so much! She followed all instructions and communicated well. I felt at ease that Zoe was in good hands. Thank you!!”
“Anna is a true animal lover! She came prior to her 1st visit to meet my cat and she also met my 2 puppies and they loved her! My cat that is very shy and reserved, was really happy to see her while we were away. I’ll be definitely asking for her help again!”
“Cassidy was amazing!! I needed someone to check on my cat while I was out of the country. It was such a relief knowing that Cassidy was keeping an eye on everything and giving Katniss plenty of attention while I was away. She kept me updated everyday and was super accessible for communicating about a few questions that came up while I was gone. I would not hesitate to ask Cassidy to watch my cat again, or any other pets for that matter! Highly recommend!”
“Daniela did an excellent job of taking care of my cat while I was away. She even went the extra mile and traveled in the snow to make sure my cat was fed, as well as checked in with me about the heating in my apartment to make sure he wouldn't be cold. She sent photos from every visit and I came home from my trip to a very happy kitty. Thank you for taking excellent care of Hex!”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly respect each cat’s personality and space. I let them come to me on their own terms and never force interaction. If they want space, I give it; if they want affection, I respond gently and calmly. I focus on low-stress, attentive care—observing quietly, stepping in only when needed, and making sure their essentials are always covered: feeding, clean environment, and playtime when they’re in the mood. My approach is patient, respectful, and cat-led.
“Stefanie is an all-star! My fur baby is extra ornery and finicky. Stefanie managed it all. She is a fantastic communicator and kept me in the loop about her every time she stopped in. You are in good hands with Stefanie!”
“Michelle took great care of my dog when I was away. She was on time, communicative and responsive when needed. I’d highly recommend her to other local pet parents.”
“Allison took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were happy and well cared for. We came home to two relaxed kitties 🥰”
“Jessica is the best! She really cares about the animals she takes care of and always makes sure to send lots of videos and pictures. My cat absolutely loves her! I will definitely ask her to watch my cat again, and I can’t recommend her enough. I feel so lucky that she was available last minute and on a holiday nonetheless!”
“Elvia truly went above and beyond in her latest house sit for our cat Dolly. We had an incident at our home shortly before we were scheduled to leave town that required our home to be aired out while we were gone. Elvia was extremely accommodating, understanding, and helpful. All the while taking excellent care of and spending quality time with our sweet kitty. We could not be more grateful to Elvia, and recommend her without reservation!”
“Nicole is wonderful with my Atlas. She is always on time, communicative, and sends lots of pics. I was concerned that he might develop separation anxiety when I returned to work, but Nicole’s drop-ins keep him happy and engaged (the only separation anxiety is mine 😊). Her consistency and experience is helping him learn his manners (leash and potty etiquette) very well.”
“Extremely impressed with Maria taking care of my cat. My cat is newly rescued and very scared of people. While I was away my cat found some places I didn't even know were possible to hide that were probably not very safe for a cat. Maria went out of her way to get my cat out, and prevent her from going back. By the end of the week my cat was even opening up a bit towards her.”
“Zoe was excellent! She went above and beyond to make sure that Dandy was comfortable with her. Dandy was calm and happy when I returned, so I know Zoe did a great job. I will definitely rebook her.”
“Ashley was AMAZING! We just moved into our house a week before the holidays and were very nervous about leaving our three kitties so soon after moving into a new space. We didn't need to worry though because they were OBSESSED with Ashley and immediately accepted her as a member of their pack. Ashley sent us the most adorable photos, too. Highly recommend!”
“Thanks Katie for taking excellent care of our cats! You get big kudos for getting a photo of our VERY shy kitty. Thank you for making it through the snow to make sure they got fed too! We'd love for you to come back when our kitties need you again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Cove-East Side
“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 had dogs, cats and birds my whole life. I love all animals and my pets are my kids! I left the corporate world in January 2019 to do what I love, which is caring for and spending time with animals! My schedule is extremely flexible. I can go to your home for walks, feeding, playtime and administering meds. I work weekends and well as weekdays. Overnights would need to be at my home, because I have a a 6 year old Shihpoo who is the sweetest dog you could ever meet! I live in a dog friendly apartment complex in the Harbor Point section of Stamford. There are three nearby dog parks and plenty of sidewalks and safe potty areas right outside my building. I’m very active and love to go on long walks. My apartment is spotless and always safe for dogs. I am very careful about leaving anything around that would harm them. In addition to the insurance covered by Rover, I have my own liability insurance and am bonded as well.
“Kevin and Ana were wonderful and I would certainly use them again to watch our beloved dogs! They made sure that our dogs had a meet and greet with their 3 dogs to ensure they got along, which I found very responsible. I can confirm that all 3 of their pups are kind and calm. They were communicative from the time I booked them to the time they dropped the dogs off at home and also sent photos and videos to assuage any nervousness we had about them being at a new place. Highly suggest!”
“Andrea is the absolute best, I am so happy I found her. My dog did not do well in traditional daycare but loves staying with Andrea. She takes care of my pup as if she were her own.”

I just moved to the area and am currently working part time. I would love to spend my free time caring for your cats and dogs! Making sure my cats and dogs are happy and comfortable has always been a priority and I’ll make sure to do the same for pets! I completely understand how important communication is, so I will always be on top of that when caring for your pet. I make sure to provide photos of your pet when you’re away:)
About: Playing with them, taking them for walks and giving them lots of love is part of my experience. I love working with them and making them feel safe with me. Working with animals is my passion. I feel that they are part of my life, that they are essential, they are part of our families and they deserve to be loved and respected. I am responsible for their care and feeding. I like to take them for walks. It is very essential for them to give them love and affection. Playing with them is part of their environment.
“Wonderful experience with Lindsay! My 17-year-old Havanese has pretty bad separation anxiety, but he felt right at home with Lindsay and her three pups. From the moment we met, I knew he was in good hands. She has such a calm, caring energy, and it was easy to see how comfortable and relaxed he was while staying with her. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust completely — highly recommend!”

We were a little worried about leaving Spence alone during the holiday chaos, but Ashley and Mauricio completely put our minds at ease. From the initial meet and greet, we realized that Spence was very comfortable with them, so we knew that we didn't have anything to worry about. Ashley and Mauricio are very reliable and trustworthy and great with communicating and keep us updated as to how things are progressing. We received adorable pictures and updates after every walk, letting us know how much fun Spence was having. It was such a relief to see Spence enjoying the holiday weekend just as much as we were.
