“Dew was fantastic! Her communication was great, she made sure my dog was comfortable and settled in. She sent status updates throughout his stay. He came home unstressed and in a great mood all happy and healthy. I would highly recomend her to anyone looking for dog care!”
“Tinaclem too great care of Mika! She was great with communication and took her on plenty of walks and have gave her plenty of love and care and had a a wonderful home to keep her in! Tinaclem was super nice and I would definitely would suggest her and use her again!”
“Rocco and I had a pre event meet and greet with Nicole which went great. Nicole has a wonderful fenced back yard which is set up for her dogs and guests. Rocco was immediately comfortable and explored the yard with Nicole’s other dogs. Nicole herself is very knowledgeable about dogs and sensitive to their needs. I dropped Rocco off for an unexpected stay and received updates from Nicole twice a day. Apparently Nicole’s home is over night camp for dogs. Rocco came back happy but tired. (Not unlike my kids when they were young). I would recommend Nicole without hesitation.”
“Another great stay with Valerie! This is my 9 month old, Pointer puppy's second overnight stay. Valerie is very flexible with drop off & pick up times. My puppy was able to play with other dogs & had exercise even with the frigid temperatures. I also received photos & an update about how things were going!”
“We were extremely happy with our experience! Ryan was knowledgeable and attentive to our dog. We received many updates and pictures while we were away which we really appreciated. He was even willing to bathe him after a run in with a mud puddle. 😅 We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
“I was very pleased with the care my dog received from Rachel. She sent multiple pictures & videos daily. He was well cared for & had a wonderful time as per the photos! He was taken on long hikes daily. I would feel very comfortable having Rachel watch him again and highly recommend her.”
“So glad I found Rich! Apollo had a total blast playing with the dogs the 2 days he was there. Rich sent lots of videos & pictures which made me feel so comfortable that he was doing well! Rich was very accomodating & has a great way with dogs. Would definitely leave Apollo there again!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe every pup deserves to feel loved, safe, and spoiled (just a little 😉). I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including fostering, so I understand that every dog has their own quirks, needs, and favorite ways to have fun, cuz same 💁🏻♀️ My schedule gives me extra flexibility, especially on weekends when I’m kid-free and can dedicate my time to some very deserving pups! 🐾 I’m looking forward to filling that time with wagging tails, happy walks, and lots of dog love. I’d love to be the person who gives your dog some extra attention, playtime, and companionship when they need it most. 🐶💕 My home is currently pet-free (aside from my two little humans 😉), which means a calm, clean, and welcoming space for visiting pups. I have a safe home where dogs can relax, feel comfortable, and truly be part of the family. In my house, pups are welcome on the couch, encouraged to get cozy, and yes… snuggles in bed are absolutely allowed! 🐾❤️ I want every dog staying with me to feel loved, comfortable, and right at home.
“Lily took wonderful care of my dog Pippa! It was my first time working with her and I will definitely use her again. Pippa is a very playful dog and Lily kept her entertained and engaged the whole time. I think Pippa was very bummed to come back home and leave her new friends. Thanks Lily!!”
“Desi had a wonderful time with Erika. Desi is very shy at first but she warmed up to Erika quickly. The feeling was apparently mutual as she told me Desi would be welcome any time. It's such a comfort to know your dog is being well cared for when your gone.”
“What a wonderful stay and experience! Hazard is super friendly and very detail oriented. She’s very responsive with communication as well. We had a meet and greet before hand and the first stay for my pups couldn’t have been better! My dogs really enjoyed their time at Hazard’s house. We received lots of photos and videos. And we loved the report card at the end of the day! Thank you! We have another booking set already!”
“Brooklyn loved being your house guest you do an amazing job from the meet n greet to us dropping her off all the pictures you sent i can tell you love what you do thank you thank you. You are #1 in our book. Anyone looking for a sitter have to pick you. You are truly a all around guy. ❤️ TELL FRANK BROOKLYN WILL SEE HIM SOON AGAIN. THANK YOU KYLE FOR WELCOMING BROOKLYN IN YOUR HOME WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.”
“I've used Veronica at least a couple times at this point and she has been nothing less thank fantastic. She has been fantastic at communication, great at scheduling room, and took amazing care of my Mika! Definitely bwill contact her again and I would encourage anyone to do the same.”
“We have booked with Madison several times for our pups. Madison has been amazing with Holly and Murray every time they have stayed with her. She’s super reliable and really loves our pups, so we always know they're in good hands. Highly recommend her!”
“We left our pup, Finley, with Annette for 6 nights. She stayed in touch with us daily, sending pictures and videos that we were so happy to see! It gave us peace of mind to know that he was being well cared for! We used the app to send Annette questions about how Finley was doing on his walks, with his eating, etc, and she always responded immediately! There were other dogs there that he had fun playing with. We are so glad we found a safe place for Finley to stay while we were away!”
“Athena, watched my two pups for 5 days! She was great, she came to pick up and drop the pups. She sent me daily photos and updates of them! Very friendly and my pups spent a great time with her! I highly recommend!”

“Isabelle is a special caregiver. We hired her. To help care for our 2 German Shepherds, one of which is recovering from brain surgery to remove a tumor. With that, her and her partner have provided amazing care and shown love , compassion and patience to our guy. I highly recommend her if you need someone to provide that extra level of support.”
About: I had a cat of my own and I regularly cat sit for my family! I have experience with a variety of cat personalities! I understand that every cat is different and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I'm committed to giving your cat the same care and affection I would give my own.
“Rhea was absolutely wonderful with my cat while I was away! She visited twice a day, sent me lots of adorable pictures, and always left little notes with updates. She spoiled him with extra playtime and treats, and I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. I would definitely book with Rhea again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”
“Meghan did an amazing job checking in on our cat while we were away! She was professional, kept our house clean, and most importantly, our cat was happy and comfortable. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pet was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have two indoor cats of my own. I know how amazing cats are and how awesome their personalities are! I am experienced in giving cats medicine as well. I would take great care of your kitty cats! I can come over to clean litter boxes, feed and play or I can do overnights as well. I have watched cats of all ages and have rescued 5 cats of my own over the years. I am retired so I have a flexible schedule to help out!
“Finally found another really great cat person. Kelsey is fantastic! She is dependable and cat savvy. Kelsey also took care of our plants. We returned home to two calm and contented felines. Doesn’t appear that they missed us very much (:”
“Jodi is the best! She’s watched my cat a couple of times, and every time, she goes above and beyond. Seriously, my cat might love her more than me at this point! If you need a pet sitter, she’s the one to call.”
“Veronica is a very sweet woman who is punctual, caring, and communicates well. She cared for my two cats while I was away. I’m very thankful I met her! She is great at what she does and I’ll absolutely hire her again. Thank you!!”
“Carlie is FABULOUS! She had quality visits with my two dogs, and provided thorough, insightful honest feedback about how each was doing. One is an elder requiring heart meds. He showed some signs of stress on one of her visits which she described to a T. She had the good judgement to give him a pee and poo break but forego the walk with him. Next visit he was great. Based upon her feedback I felt completely confident that they were in the best possible hands. Carlie is a vet tech, and this added skill/ experience was obvious in how she handled things. She is a woman of kind and gentle temperament and great skill. I could not recommend her more highly. THANK YOU CARLIE!”
About: I've cared for cats for friends, family, and my own pets over the years, and I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. I also gained hands-on experience in an animal hospital setting, where I learned how to safely handle animals and pay close attention to their comfort and well-being. Whether your cat needs fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply someone to keep them company while you're away, I'll make sure they receive the same love and care I give my own cats. I'll also send photo and text updates after every visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Highly recommend! My baby was well taken care of! Tinaclem was super friendly. When we arrived she introduced her dog with mine and brought them both to the back yard so she can get familiar with the yard and was very welcoming! Many walks and lots of pics for updates! ❤️My baby was pooped for days! She already misses Elvis! Sweet dog she has!”
“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!”
About: Hello! My name is Daphne. Since I was a little girl, I have had a huge passion and love for dogs. I have grown up with bully breeds for my entire life. From Rottweilers to Pit bulls, to American Bulldogs. I currently have an Olde English Bulldog who is the princess of our family. I have a huge love for dogs but specifically bully breeds. I understand how strong they are when going for walks and how much love they have to give. I have experience working at a dog kennel in Putnam Valley taking care of multiple dogs at a time, big and small. I also take care of my neighbors 3 black labs when she is away multiple times a year. I currently work remote so I am available any time during the weekday. I do require a few days advanced noticed so I can plan my schedule! I am able to provide fresh food and water for dogs. I will also ensure dogs get regular walks and exercise as per their usual routine.
“My dog, Luna, had a great day at Kyle’s. He’s got a great setup for pups to play inside and out, and he clearly understands dogs well and is able to give them great care. Luna is very nervous around new people, and Kyle was able to attend to her needs and made sure she was comfortable during her stay. Will definitely be back.”
About: I am a dedicated animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and ferrets.

My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, built around consistent feeding times, walks, and play sessions. I set aside dedicated time each day and week to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. This routine helps pets feel secure while allowing me to provide reliable, high-quality care. I provide attentive, compassionate care by following each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, exercise, and playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in a familiar environment. I also monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health and provide regular updates to give owners peace of mind.

It was my first time using Rover, but thanks to this experience I’m looking forward to booking again! Thanks Briana!! <3”
“Rachael was able to help us out with very little notice. She was so sweet with my 2 pups and they loved her. They are older and really just want someone to sit with them and give them hugs. My chihuahua is sometimes a little grouchy & nervous. Rachael put them right at ease and handled them well on walks. We hope we can have her back again soon!”

“Sara has been AMAZING to work with! Our Davy girl needed some time to adjust to a new person and Sara was so patient and understanding! Sara has always been incredibly responsive and professional and is excellent at sharing pictures and videos of our pup. Sara is a great problem solver and noticed that when a certain leash was not working with Davy was able to switch to another leash and truly met Davy where SHE was at. Davy loves spending time with Sara and we’re so happy she’s been able to work with our schedules! Thanks Sara, appreciate you!”
About: I’ve lived with pets my whole life. I’m a biology major pursuing animal science and conservation. I love everything about them and I will be volunteering at the animal shelter this summer! I have experience taking care of old dogs, and hyper ones, from helping out my family and friends over the years. I work on campus, so with my semester ending, I am completely free this summer to focus on caring for these pets! Weekends can be busy but I will account for that in my availability. This isn’t just an opportunity to make money, it’s a way to help and give back to my community. I will care for pets in the clients home by offering play to have fun and be ready to sleep at bedtime! I will also care for them by respecting their space and boundaries when needed. If they are in need of a friend, I am there.
“It's hard for us to go on vacations as we had some bad experience leaving our dog in doggie day care. This is our 1st time using Rover and we are so impressed. Melissa sent as pictures and updates for their walk and we are so at ease when we were away. Thanks Mellisa!”
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting all my life. I also fostered a mid-size mixed terrier. I have two cats of my own. I love how all animals have amazing personalities! I can do dog walking, cat check ins with waste clean-up or over nights which ever you may need. I know how to administer meds to both cats and dogs. It is so important to have your furry loved ones pampered while you are away! I am retired so my availability is flexible. I also enjoy sending photos of your four legged loved one while you are away! I have also watched chickens, turtles, guinea pigs, snakes and iguanas. Looking forward to hearing from you! I am retired so I have a flexible schedule! I can go during the day or stay overnight at your home. Whichever you feel most comfortable with would work! When I come to your house, besides walking/feeding, I do waste cleanup as well. Of course, playing is a must! I will definitely send photos and videos so you know how your furry family member is feeling!
About: I am looking to add light to my life in spite of current events by helping others in my community and bonding with your fur babies! I'm free in the eavnings most days and fully available Mondays and Tuesdays. Schedules may be accommodated if reached out to 2 weeks in advance. I live with my mom and uncle who love dogs and we all guarantee to provide the highest quality of care. I have two cats who enjoy the outside in our yard and have come with us on fun adventures like camping trips. So they are very open to change.
“Jessie is sooo patient with my energetic Pittie. They really love each other which makes me feel more comfortable. She is flexible and available, often at the last minute. Highly recommend.”
About: Rescue dogs capture my heart! Experienced walking senior, rescue and fearful dogs. Happy to check in on your furry family with a cute photo to give you peace of mind while you are away. New to the area and have a flexible day time schedule M-F to visit and walk your pets! Happy to give medicine with instructions as needed. I’m happy to follow your preferred exercise plan for your pet, a snuggle and checkin, a wander around the yard or a walk around the block.
About: I have owned cats my entire life and have had my own beloved dog for 11 years. Working as a private instructor and teacher, I routinely enter clients' homes and have mastered the art of reading animal body language. I consider myself a bit of a dog and cat "whisperer"—I have zero fear or nervousness around animals, and pets quickly sense my calm, positive aura. I treat every animal I care for with the exact same love, respect, and high-quality attention that I give to my very own pets. As a teacher, my summer schedule opens up beautifully! While I will still be working with a few students, I schedule my lessons earlier in the day to ensure I have maximum flexibility for your pets. My weekends are 100% completely free and dedicated to pet care, and my late afternoons and evenings are entirely open as well. I am highly organized and communicative, so you will always know exactly when I am coming and going. Security, safety, and a calm environment are my top priorities. Because of my professional background as an in-home private instructor, I am deeply respectful of my clients' spaces, privacy, and household rules. I know how to keep a home secure, stick to strict feeding and medical routines, and handle any unexpected situations calmly. I excel at maintaining a stress-free environment so your pets feel completely relaxed, safe, and loved while you are away.
About: I’m reliable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve been around and caring for dogs for most of my life, including my own dog Max, who I got when I was 14 and truly consider my soul dog. He passed away in July 2025 from complications related to megaesophagus, but for a year and a half before that, I helped manage his condition after we were initially told he only had 30 days to live. That experience taught me so much about patience, consistency, and providing attentive, specialized care. Because of these experiences, I’m especially comfortable with dogs who may need extra patience, have medical needs, or experience anxiety. I work full-time during the week, but I’m always available for morning and evening visits, including feeding, walks, playtime, and general care. I’m off every other weekend, as well as some Mondays and Fridays, which gives me extra flexibility for longer visits or overnight stays. I’m also happy to accommodate overnight care when needed, so your pet can stick to their normal routine and feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and will make sure your pet gets consistent care and attention. In a client’s home, I aim to keep things as consistent as possible—following feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or picking up after pets, and making sure they get plenty of attention and care. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy while you’re away. For overnight stays, I help maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable in their environment.
“We’ve used Richie several times to walk and feed our 2 pitties and could not be happier. He was professional, communicative, and loved on our babies while we were away. We are super picky about who we allow not only into our home, but to care with our doggies. Richie never disappointed! We will absolutely utilize him again in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for a great person to take care of your animals needs. Thanks Richie for being so great!”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and have worked in an animal hospital, where I gained hands-on experience safely handling pets, walking dogs, assisting with their care, and working with animals of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I've also cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors over the years. Whether your pet needs feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, or simply some extra love and attention, I'm happy to help. I'm dependable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I understand how important it is to follow your pet's routine exactly as instructed. I'll provide photo and text updates during every visit so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, allowing me to provide dependable and consistent visits. Whether your pet needs a morning check-in, a midday visit, or evening care, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I understand how important routine is for pets, and I’m committed to providing reliable care and giving each visit the time and attention your pet deserves. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big decision. During every visit, I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, make sure they have fresh food and water, provide walks or playtime as needed, clean litter boxes or pick up after your dog, and spend quality time with them so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also send photo and text updates after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same care and attention I give my own.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I could walk, so caring for animals has always felt second nature. I also volunteer as a dog walker, socializer, and trainer at Danbury Animal Welfare Society, where I work with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. My style is calm, patient, and attentive, whether your dog needs a real exercise walk, your cat needs a quiet check-in, or your older pet just needs someone gentle and consistent. I know trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big deal, so I take reliability seriously. I’ll show up when I say I will, pay attention to your pet’s routine, and send clear updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and cared for. I currently work full time, but my evenings and weekends are often free. I’m a good fit for weekend walks, evening check-ins, drop-in visits, and occasional pet care when your regular routine needs extra support. Because I value reliability, I only accept bookings I know I can show up for fully and on time. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language, comfort level, routines, and boundaries, and I never force interactions with people, dogs, or unfamiliar situations. For walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and adjust the pace to the dog’s age, energy, and temperament. I’m comfortable with shy, anxious, energetic, and older pets, and I believe patience and consistency go a long way. For drop-ins, I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, check food, water, litter, doors, and gates, and send clear updates so you know how your pet is doing.

“Dew was fantastic! Her communication was great, she made sure my dog was comfortable and settled in. She sent status updates throughout his stay. He came home unstressed and in a great mood all happy and healthy. I would highly recomend her to anyone looking for dog care!”
“Rocco and I had a pre event meet and greet with Nicole which went great. Nicole has a wonderful fenced back yard which is set up for her dogs and guests. Rocco was immediately comfortable and explored the yard with Nicole’s other dogs. Nicole herself is very knowledgeable about dogs and sensitive to their needs. I dropped Rocco off for an unexpected stay and received updates from Nicole twice a day. Apparently Nicole’s home is over night camp for dogs. Rocco came back happy but tired. (Not unlike my kids when they were young). I would recommend Nicole without hesitation.”
“Another great stay with Valerie! This is my 9 month old, Pointer puppy's second overnight stay. Valerie is very flexible with drop off & pick up times. My puppy was able to play with other dogs & had exercise even with the frigid temperatures. I also received photos & an update about how things were going!”
“We were extremely happy with our experience! Ryan was knowledgeable and attentive to our dog. We received many updates and pictures while we were away which we really appreciated. He was even willing to bathe him after a run in with a mud puddle. 😅 We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
“I was very pleased with the care my dog received from Rachel. She sent multiple pictures & videos daily. He was well cared for & had a wonderful time as per the photos! He was taken on long hikes daily. I would feel very comfortable having Rachel watch him again and highly recommend her.”
“So glad I found Rich! Apollo had a total blast playing with the dogs the 2 days he was there. Rich sent lots of videos & pictures which made me feel so comfortable that he was doing well! Rich was very accomodating & has a great way with dogs. Would definitely leave Apollo there again!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe every pup deserves to feel loved, safe, and spoiled (just a little 😉). I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including fostering, so I understand that every dog has their own quirks, needs, and favorite ways to have fun, cuz same 💁🏻♀️ My schedule gives me extra flexibility, especially on weekends when I’m kid-free and can dedicate my time to some very deserving pups! 🐾 I’m looking forward to filling that time with wagging tails, happy walks, and lots of dog love. I’d love to be the person who gives your dog some extra attention, playtime, and companionship when they need it most. 🐶💕 My home is currently pet-free (aside from my two little humans 😉), which means a calm, clean, and welcoming space for visiting pups. I have a safe home where dogs can relax, feel comfortable, and truly be part of the family. In my house, pups are welcome on the couch, encouraged to get cozy, and yes… snuggles in bed are absolutely allowed! 🐾❤️ I want every dog staying with me to feel loved, comfortable, and right at home.
“Desi had a wonderful time with Erika. Desi is very shy at first but she warmed up to Erika quickly. The feeling was apparently mutual as she told me Desi would be welcome any time. It's such a comfort to know your dog is being well cared for when your gone.”
“Brooklyn loved being your house guest you do an amazing job from the meet n greet to us dropping her off all the pictures you sent i can tell you love what you do thank you thank you. You are #1 in our book. Anyone looking for a sitter have to pick you. You are truly a all around guy. ❤️ TELL FRANK BROOKLYN WILL SEE HIM SOON AGAIN. THANK YOU KYLE FOR WELCOMING BROOKLYN IN YOUR HOME WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.”
“I've used Veronica at least a couple times at this point and she has been nothing less thank fantastic. She has been fantastic at communication, great at scheduling room, and took amazing care of my Mika! Definitely bwill contact her again and I would encourage anyone to do the same.”
“We have booked with Madison several times for our pups. Madison has been amazing with Holly and Murray every time they have stayed with her. She’s super reliable and really loves our pups, so we always know they're in good hands. Highly recommend her!”
“Athena, watched my two pups for 5 days! She was great, she came to pick up and drop the pups. She sent me daily photos and updates of them! Very friendly and my pups spent a great time with her! I highly recommend!”
“Our two year old lab had only been accustomed to one pet sitter who moved away. Finding Michele was a nice experience. She has a lot of experience with larger dogs and there appeared to be just enough energy in the home that our pup adjusted to quickly even with a few other dogs there. She treated our pup like he was her own. We were very comfortable leaving our pup with her for the week and will definitely ask her to watch our pup again.”
“Kylo had a great stay with Anner! He was really accommodating of some hectic scheduling for the meet and greet, and we were able to see that Kylo would be comfortable for his stay ahead of time. Anner sent videos and some photos while we were away of Ky enjoying the yard and playing with other pups. When we picked Kylo up, he seemed like he had a great time! Thanks, Anner, for taking great care of our slightly older, very goofy boy!”
“Kathryn took such good care of Marley! She sent me updates every day and pictures! So happy to have found such a reliable, flexible, and easy to communicate with sitter for our fur baby!”
“I can't say enough great things about Jonathan and the care he provides for my two babies Louie and Chase. Like many pet owners, my babies mean the world to me and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with them. Jonathan cares for my dogs as if they were his own. He is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. His scheduling system is very easy to use and he provides very personalized care easy to reach and gives updates after her visits. He is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a dog sitting service.”
