“Can't say enough good things about Judy! She watched our dog Squirt for almost 2 weeks and provided multiple updates and pictures each day. You can tell she truly cared about taking proper care of our dog, she took notes and asked questions about all of his needs. I have used a couple different sitters and she been one of the few who have followed my particular instructions to care for Squirt to a tee. We will definitely be using Judy again ☺️”
“Elvia and her family are wonderful. Chloe had the best time!!! Chloe is definitely looking forward to going back to Elvia. Thank you for taking such great care of Chloe ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Rich is always so sweet with our pups. We always feel confident leaving them with him and his wife for a long weekend stay or for a day of doggy daycare.”
“Tina and Jon went above and beyond to ensure we felt completely at ease leaving our 5-year-old Italian Greyhound in their care while we traveled to Canada. They provided consistent updates throughout our entire trip, sending a plethora of videos and photos that kept us connected to our pup. The fenced-in backyard was a fantastic perk, and we loved seeing all the adventures she went on with them. If you are looking for a five-star pet sitter, Tina and Jon are the ones for you!”
“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!!”
“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.”
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.
“We’re so thank to have found Nandita! She’s very professional, her home and backyard are a perfect set up for dogs, and she’s a very sweet person!! We appreciated the pictures and videos she sent while we were away and she truly pampered our pup during his stay. 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!”
“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 would highly recommend Yenis. She is very responsive, willing to take on last minute boarding, and most of all, incredible with my golden! I plan to use her again.”
“Karine is the best sitter I have used! She was very patient and took really good care of my nervous Aussie shepherd. Asked question to make sure she was always well taken care of and safe. I loved all the updates and pics of ruby playing and getting along with the family. I trust her and highly recommend her to take good care of your fur babies. Thank you Karine!!”

“We love Cassidy! The cats look forward to seeing her, which makes it a little less scary to be away for the week. Thankful for Cassidy and her thoughtfulness, thank you!”
“Daniela is very responsible, thoughtful and organized. She followed all the guidelines precisely. Our kitty was in great hands and looked very happy each time Daniela visited!”
“Stefanie was fantastic! She went above and beyond to take care of our cats. They were well loved and taken care of while we were away, and we will definitely ask her to look after them again in the future. Highly recommend!!”
“They did a great job being flexible with our schedule and taking care of our cats, and being especially vigilant with one who had some unexpected medical issues.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Maria was extremely attentive and caring to my two cats. They both really enjoyed her company and play time. Also my one very shy cat opened up to her very quickly. Overall, Maria was a great cat sitter and a very pleasant person.”
“Emma is amazing! As a new pet owner I appreciate that I can count on her to help and she has also been a great source of tips as we get to know our new puppy. Very grateful I found her.”
“Ursula was great and took good care of my cat! She left detailed notes after each visit and made sure to take photos. She made sure she had fresh food and water and even cleaned the litter box each visit. I highly recommend and will book with Ursula again.”
“We had an absolutely amazing experience with Alison! She stepped in at the very last minute and took such wonderful care of our cats. There was even an unexpected fire alarm while we were away, and she handled it calmly and professionally - we felt so relieved knowing she was there. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets 💛”
“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.”
“Nicole was so great with our cat Pepper! She sent so many photos updates and was super communicative throughout the time watching her. Would highly recommend!”

“Aaron did a great job! My cat, Moo, can be shy but, mid-way through the catsitting, she was coming out for pets from him. The visits were always prompt and, as requested, a 1/2 long with accompanying pictures. Aaron is very professional and I 10/10 would hire him again.”

“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 : )”
“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.”
“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! She was super flexible and accommodating with my schedule bouncing around. Shes so sweet and sends photos to keep you updated on what your fur-child is up to! We will be back and will definitely book again!”
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.
“Judy was so kind, detail oriented, and trustworthy with my senior chihuahua. I left Milly with Judy for the day while I attended a conference. Judy provided routine photos and updates. I could tell Milly was clearly well taken care of when I picked her up - no anxiety”
“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!”
“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!”
“Ashley has taken care of my dog Zulu many times. She does a great job taking her on walks and allowing her to play with other dogs at the park. Also is very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Would highly recommend her to anybody looking for a sitter in Stamford area”
“Ryders absolute fav!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I love how much Yenis adores him. Super reliable and my #1 go to! Thanks so much for watching after him in my absence. He loves you!!!!”

About: Hi! My name is Claire, and caring for animals has always been one of the biggest parts of my life. I’ve volunteered and worked in animal rescue for years and have hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m especially experienced with senior pets, anxiety-prone animals, and special-needs dogs, including my own recently adopted blind senior pup.

I’d love the chance to care for your pets and give them the safe, loving experience they deserve. I hope to meet you and your fur babies soon! AVAILABLE ON WEEKENDS! ( and most weeknights) I work a hybrid work schedule and am mostly working remote from home so I am available my work from home days as well!!

If you’re more comfortable with them just getting a simple walk around your neighborhood, I’m happy to accommodate that as well!

“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!”
“My fur babies and I LOVE María. She takes her time to get to know my dogs, which was so important to me. And she understands dog body language. Most importantly, she’s gentle, kind, and empathetic towards me and my fur babies.. I’ve already rebooked for another week of walks. Thank you Maria, you’re the best!! :)”
“Elizabeth is a wonderful Dogwalker. She is prompt and informative so that I have Mo 🐶 ready to go. Elizabeth made sure that Mo was comfortable as he is a senior citizen. There were water stops along the way, which was important due to extraordinarily hot & humid 🥵 week. Elizabeth even showed up in the rain ☔️ on our last day. 💫 I received 2 to 3 📸 on each walk for 7 full days☺️. Elizabeth is truly a professional delight. Very highly recommended; 10 out of 10. This a service I enjoy part of vacation as I travel. One good long walk first thing daily supported by a good Dogwalker and then I can fill in with smaller walks, especially while we are busy visiting family and friends. Thank you so much, Elizabeth! 🤩”

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. I will make sure to be attentive to their needs, give them affection and keep them safe during our outings. I will abide by food restrictions and will adjust locations of walks depending on if the dogs are dog friendly/aggressive.
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.

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.
“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! 💕”

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!

About: I’m a caring, reliable dog lover with hands on experience raising my own Maltese and Yorkie. I understand the attention, patience, and consistency dogs need, especially smaller breeds. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs while they’ve been away, handling feeding, walks, and daily routines. It’s helped me build trust and confidence in caring for dogs in others’ homes.

I’m available on weekdays after 3:30 PM due to a school schedule, with increased flexibility during school breaks and throughout the summer. Occasional weekend availability. I always prioritize safety, trust, and your dog’s routine when caring for pets in your home. I follow all instructions closely, make sure your dog is safely leashed before walks, and stay attentive to our surroundings at all times. I also take care when entering and leaving your home by checking doors and gates, and I always treat your space with respect. Every dog is cared for with the same compassion and reliability I give my own.
“Wendy is fantastic. She walked my dog all week (who isn’t always the easiest dog to take on walks) but did a great job and gave him a great workout. She showed up on time, went for good leisurely walks and let me know if anything was amiss. One day my pup wasn’t feeling well and she even stayed late to make sure he was ok and settled in! Would definitely recommend especially if you need a repeat walker.”
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.
“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!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old and picked out the cutest black Lab/ border Collie mix named Memphis. Growing up with dogs and living with dogs has been such an important part of my life. My Mom even says I love dogs more than her! Friends have trusted me to take their dogs on walks, house-sit and just go over for some play-time. I'm currently working part-time on my next venture and can work from anywhere! This means my time is very flexible and can help out during all hours of the week. I consider myself a very caring and detail oriented person. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, per your instructions. I also pride myself on being a very clean individual and will take great care of your home.

They provided consistent updates throughout our entire trip, sending a plethora of videos and photos that kept us connected to our pup.

“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!”
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 believe pets do best when they feel safe, loved, and understood, and that’s the environment I strive to provide. Plus, you can expect plenty of updates and photos! Pets fit easily into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule to make sure pets get the attention, exercise, care, and consistency they need — whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just company and cuddles. 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.
“Anner was amazing! He made me feel so comfortable by checking in with me and sending photos of Lucy. She seemed calm and at ease at both pick up and drop off. Have already rebooked! Thank you, Anner!”
“Barbara is TRULY AMAZING with my dog Bentley . This was his 2nd stay and she’s made me more than comfortable this time around . She followed all the directions giving regarding my dog. He i truly didn’t have any worries concerns ...”
“Denise watched my dog Paddy for over a week while he was recovering from Lyme’s. She was very friendly, kind and assuring during this period. She also communicated with me daily and sent updates and pictures. I would highly recommend.”
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 .
“Our second time booking with Kevin and just as amazing as the first time! Except this time he also watched our tinier senior dog in addition to our other dog and puppy. All three pups seemed like they had a great time! He catered to each of their personalities/size/temperament and sent pictures and updates throughout their stay.”
“Katherine was so helpful taking our dog Ellie last minute on Thanksgiving. She was even kind enough to have her for one more day last minute, while we had guests in town! She sent pictures and was very responsive! Would absolutely use Katherine again in the future!”
“As an anxious dog mom who gets nervous leaving my guy, I would recommend Lindsay to anyone I know! My pup instantly loved spending time with Lindsay and I could tell when I picked him up, he was so happy. I received pictures and videos with updates all weekend which allowed me to actually enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands! We will 100% always take our guy to Lindsay whenever we need someone to watch him! Lindsay was incredible!!”
“Stephanie was so great I would recommend her to anyone! She sent pictures and updates everyday! She was super easy to contact and flexible with booking! Winston had a lovely time and I would definitely have her look after him again!”
