“This is my second time having my fur baby with Sue. It was a much longer visit this time (a week) amd Sue remained her kind communicative self. Would recommend in a heartbeat. She goes above and beyond. Thank you! 💕”
“Rich was very communicative throughout the entire process. Shared lots of photos and videos of our two dogs who always seemed to be having fun playing with all the other dogs. This was our first time boarding with him and will definitely return the next time we need boarding.”
“Saori took fantastic care of our large doodle Toby for two weeks while we were traveling. We received daily updates with pictures and videos, which was really great. Toby had so much fun and will be going back next time we travel. I highly recommend Saori to anyone who needs a skilled and kind person to care of their pet.”
“Dew is the best of the best! From our first meet & greet to everything in between, Dew was responsive, flexible, and loved our pup as if he was her own. Our Bucky is quite the energetic pup and she went above and beyond to assure he was taken care of in just the right way. We can’t thank her more and will be booking with her again soon.”
“Gus loved Kyle the moment they met. Supper attentive to the needs of my four legged friend and treated Gus like a king. I will definitely be using Kyle for boarding again!”
“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!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience having Erika watch our dog, Gotham, for the week! She took amazing care of him and treated our furbaby like her own. Erika stayed in touch the entire time, sending pictures and updates that gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Gotham was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. We highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”
“Jess and Ian were wonderful with my two boys. They communicated with me while on vacation and it eased my mind to know they were ok. Wonderful and honest couple”
“Annette was very easy to communicate with and got back to me quickly when I was setting up Charlie's visit. She is enthusiastic and immediately put Charlie at ease when we arrived. Annette wanted to talk to me about Charlie and learn as much as she could about him and that put me at ease! She is very kind and I am so happy I found her. I do appreciate her experience working with dogs and already have a weekend boarding visit scheduled with Annette. I highly recommend Annette.”
“I am so happy to have found Clementina. She is lovely and warm and took such very good care of Ezzy. She has a huge backyard and a dogpark nearby and Ezzy got great exercise daily. She sent me lots of pics and was flexible and accommodating when I asked if Ezzy could stay a little longer than I had planned. Her daughter also was there and Ezzy kissed everyone goodbye when we left and wagged furiously. 5 stars.”
“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!!”
“Very nice experience for Rufus esp with her 2 dogs , I think Bark is Rufus additional best friend ? ! No fence yard is a No problem !!! And thank you Michele for considering too for another day , I was on mistake with my booking days and I’m so happy & appreciate the extension right away . I wouldn’t hesitate to book again if time permits.”
“Laura,Carolina and Enrique were great, they were very informative with pictures and texts. This was my First time leaving stormy with anyone and they made me feel comfortable with there hospitality and vibe… stormy was very happy when I picked her up also. I would recommend and rebook again.”
“Isabel was incredibly with our Lola. Trying out a new sitter is never easy but Isabel made the process seamless. Lola had plenty of room to run around and drop off and pick up was so easy! We will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much Isabel!”
“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.”
“Kathryn is probably the best Rover sitter we’ve had (and we’ve used some lovely sitters). Our dogs are anxious when they’re left, and Kathryn really helped them feel at ease - her fenced yard was perfect and they just seemed to trust her. I’d highly recommend booking your pet’s stay with her!”

“Sara has provided drop-in visits for our 2 cats a number of times. She always takes lots of pictures and sometimes a video so we can see what our kitties are up to when we are away from home. It’s such a good feeling to know they’re in warm, caring hands when we are away!”
“Melissa made us feel so comfortable knowing our dog was being so well taken care of. Her updates and pictures are great. She is reliable and compassionate. Thank you Melissa!”
“Rhea was excellent - on time, responsive, took plenty of photos and from those photos I could tell that my cat was enjoying his time with her. Would absolutely hire again - thank you!”
“Happy to have found Jessie to watch our cats while we were out of town! She did an excellent job making sure they were well fed and hydrated and kept us posted with visit updates and didn't hesitate to ask questions. Would absolutely book her again for future visits.”
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.
“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!”
“Tara is fantastic! She is so sweet and took great care of our cat. She also sent us pictures while we were away for our peace of mind. Our cat is pretty skittish and he warmed up to her so quickly! Definitely recommend her :)”
“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.”
“Sarah was so wonderful with Kimbo! She kept us updated the whole time and always made us feel reassured that he was in great hands. She was punctual, reliable, and genuinely caring. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. We really appreciated all the communication and attention she gave Kimbo. Highly recommend her! We would absolutely trust her again!”
“Isabelle is so sweet and she was great with our boy Boone! We didnt have enough time for her to meet Boone prior to booking so our boy was nervous when she first got there, but she made sure to give him his space and time to warm up to her. It paid off because they spent the evening on the couch together 😊 She followed the schedule we provided and she sent photo and picture updates throughout their time together, which was great. Boone made a new friend so we’ll be sure to book Isabelle again!”
About: I have been taken care of animals since I’m 25 dogs and cats me and my wife love Animals we have French bulldogs and 2 cats I work full time but have a lot of spare time and looking to do something I love which is taken care of peoples animals Walk my dogs and have a big yard I take them out in to play and run around so I’m always with my dogs and cats
About: I have had dogs, cats, puppies in my life since I was born. I have had the pleasure of training all types of dogs in many different areas. When I was younger my family used to always take trips up to Marthas Vineyard, we always had to leave our dogs at a kennel which we realized later on was not the best thing to do for our dogs. Emotionally/mentally we could tell it had taken a toll on them, so we started leaving them home with Pet Sitters. That was the best decision we had made. I want to be able to provide the same love and care that our pet sitters have provided in the past, but for your pet! Im currently working privately as a Personal Trainer and a Hypnotherapist Practitioner so my schedule is quite flexible. I also offer Reiki for both people and pets (Dogs, Cats, Horses)!!! I don’t typically board pets but would be willing to work with someone if the situation was right. I am also willing and able to crate your pet if thats something you do in your home!
“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!!”
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.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life! My family and then myself have adopted and taken care of dogs and cats of all ages but more recently, I have adopted senior dogs and taken care of all their needs. I work at Western Connecticut with lots of flexibility in my schedule! I’m usually available to come and go during the day if needed and only live a few minutes from work. The complex I live in is very dog friendly! I had my dog with there until she passed. There are lots of designated dog walking areas, dog grooming and wash rooms.

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 will also ensure dogs get regular walks and exercise as per their usual routine.

Many walks and lots of pics for updates! ❤️My baby was pooped for days! She already misses Elvis! Sweet dog she has!”

“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.”
“Isabelle was great with Jimmy! We just moved to the area and she was able to watch our dog for the day and she was great about sending updates and letting us know how he was doing.”
“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: I have a certain way with dogs. Even the most skittish chihuahua would find it difficult to hate me! My sister's dog, Marvin, is one of these skittish chihuahuas. At first he hated me. Now we're best friends. I have a soft spot for pitbulls. I am available seven days a week from 7am to 10pm. I am currently a student at Iona College working on my masters in childhood education. The only thing I love more than teaching (besides golf) is spending time with animals. I try to feel out the animal's environment and their relationship to it. If the animal needs space, I'll provide it. Though, I love nothing more than a good snuggle with a cat or dog. My lap is always available.

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.

About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my life - from little Boston Terriers to German Shepards and Beagles. I am open to caring for any type of dog. I am available to walk your dog anytime from 11 a.m - 7 p,m. Monday through Friday. I am flexible in terms of my hours. I will take your dog for a nice walk! He will be treated like he is one of my own pets. I have a high degree of trust and will take care with your animal.
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.
About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life. Growing up, I cared for many cats and dogs. I don’t have any animals at the moment. However, I did care for my cat, Susan, and Siberian Husky, Luke, for 15+ years before they both crossed the rainbow bridge in 2019. I know the tender, loving care that’s required to take in an animal and I’m sensitive to the fact that these kittens & pups are your babies! Each dog/cat/pet has a different personality and set of needs based on their breed or lifestyle and I’m prepared to take on any challenge. I’ve had prior experience home/dog/cat sitting and my schedule is pretty flexible. My phone is on hand at all times and I’m more than willing to send you pics throughout our time together! Currently, I have a flexible schedule and am looking to care for cats and pups to fill my days with more furry friends. 🐱 🐶 When I had pets at home, I would care for them by taking them on walks and playing their favorite games. I installed an electric fence for my dog so he could run around and enjoy the outdoors when I couldn’t walk him.

Erika stayed in touch the entire time, sending pictures and updates that gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Gotham was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. We highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”
“Very nice experience for Rufus esp with her 2 dogs , I think Bark is Rufus additional best friend ? ! No fence yard is a No problem !!!

I wouldn’t hesitate to book again if time permits.”
“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.”
“Kathryn is probably the best Rover sitter we’ve had (and we’ve used some lovely sitters). Our dogs are anxious when they’re left, and Kathryn really helped them feel at ease - her fenced yard was perfect and they just seemed to trust her. I’d highly recommend booking your pet’s stay with her!”
“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.”
About: I currently own two dogs a mini Australian Shepard and a cocker spaniel. But, my family is a huge dog loving family and I have also owned labs, retrievers, and collies. I have a fenced backyard with a doggy door that holds about an acre of land and I live on a very quiet road with hiking trails across from my house that I bring my dogs into all the time! I’m work 3 times a week at Ridgewood Country Club in Danbury. I can leave during my breaks to tend to your pets. If they are staying at my home I have a doggy door and fenced in backyard. And then the remainder of the week I am free! I have a doggy door inside my home with a fenced in backyard for the 3 days I can’t be at home all day long. All other days I would love to take the dogs hiking and make sure they have a great time! I do own two dogs that are very friendly. But they can also be seperated into my basement if other dog is not friends with them. I also have a lot of experience with cat sitting my neighbors cats.
“Valerie & her family were wonderful with our 5 month old puppy. Her house & property are very well kept & great for pets. Valerie put me at ease with her messages while we were away. I will use her again.”
“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.”
“Claudia was heaven-sent when I had to find a last minute sitter for my baby, Harley. Claudia was helpful, friendly and available. She has a beautiful dog of her own, who was also very social, Harley loved playing with Gracie! claudia even sent me picture texts of my happy puppy through out his stay in her Monroe home. Harley has had 2 seperate stays with Claudia and Came home a happy puppy both times. Truly pleased with her service and very happy to have met her!”
“First thing- Meghan was great! Finn states with her fior 4 nights and I couldn’t have asked for more out of a sitter. She communicated well with us during his stay and is overall a very kind, responsible sitter. I will (and I’m sure Finn) be looking forward to booking with her in the future!”
