“Judy was amazing! It was Chief’s first time with her and he fell in love! Super communicative- great with updates and photos! We can’t wait until Chief gets to stay with Judy again!”
“Ivon Melissa did an amazing job, Jojo loved her! She took her for a ton of walks, was very attentive, and sent a lot of great pictures. 10/10 will be booking again!”
“Rosa was terrific with my dog Sage. She provided regular updates on how Sage was doing during her stay with Rosa. I highly recommend anyone needing a sitter to consider Rosa. I would be happy to have Rosa watch my dog again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since having our first family dog when I was little. I trained our family dog to not only have discipline, but also do tricks! I recently trained my friend’s dog to do some fun tricks too. I love to give the pups all the attention and patience they deserve. I shared a cat all through college with my roommate and am familiar with cats needs. I currently have Friday-Sunday off so I’d love to board or do walks on the weekend. I’m also available in the mornings and evenings if walks are needed then. I live close to lots of walking paths and dog parks. It’s a great area to go on long walks or to the dog parks!
“Karine, Ryan and Misu are the best! If you want your dog to be treated like family while you are away and not worry at all, they are the ones to call. I am an overprotective dog mom and my little guy is super attached to us, but miraculously he warmed up to Karine right away. He ate well, played, went out for lots of walks, got along great with Misu and was so well-adjusted while we were out of the country. I could not have asked for a better experience and give Karine my highest recommendations. She also sent me a lot of wonderful photos, so I always knew what activities Chewie was up to each day. 5 stars!!!”
“Frank did an exceptional job taking care of our puppy. On the way home, she shared how attentive (her words!!!) and caring he is. He even has a magical way of creating an open parking space right when it's time to drop her off. Highly recommend Frank for taking care of your fur baby : )”
“I can't recommend Nicole enough as a dog sitter! She took amazing care of my dog, Romeo. Nicole was incredibly responsive and flexible, always quick to reply and accommodating to any changes. I truly appreciated the frequent photo updates she sent, which kept me at ease knowing Romeo was happy and well cared for. It's clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. Thank you, Nicole, for your outstanding care!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Rebecca as my dog sitter. She was incredibly responsive and took excellent care of my dog. Her attentiveness and dedication gave me peace of mind, knowing my pet was in great hands. I highly recommend Rebecca for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Great communication and took very good care of my dog Percy. Treated him well and took him to the dog park even in the cold January weather. Would definitely recommend if you are in the Stamford area.”
“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!”
“Elaine was able to accommodate Enzo at the last minute for a 10 day trip. I was hesitant leaving him with someone he didn't know and what if he got separation anxiety and didn't eat. It was my first time taking a trip with him in my life (will be 2 in May) and not seeing him for almost 2 wks. But, Enzo was in great care. She has a lot of experience which made me at feel comfortable that he was going to be well taken care of. Enzo loved her home and got along with the other dogs. He felt comfortable and didn't show any separation anxiety. I was told he was a sweet boy whole time. I felt better knowing next time I wouldn't have to worry as a fur mom about how will her dog feel if left him again. Enzo was such a happy boy in her home and didn't want to leave his buddies that he met behind. Thank you for treating Enzo as one of your own and making us feel at ease when we were out the country.”
“Luna had a fantastic time! Rich is perfectly equipped for an awesome dog resort! A spacious fenced in back yard, indoor AC, very clean accommodations that are beautifully tiled, plenty of dog beds, separate eating accommodations and monitoring. Rich and his wife took extra care to make Luna feel comfortable in their home....if she could talk, I think she would’ve stayed longer! I will definitely be a repeat customer and have already referred my friends. Thank you Rich!!”
“Ally and her boyfriend were absolutely amazing with my pup Riley. From the moment we dropped Riley off we could tell she was in great hands. Ally was easy to communicate with and definitely went the extra mile to make sure Riley felt at home. It’s not easy taking care of a lab puppy but Ally is a pro! I couldn’t recommend Ally more! We are so lucky to have found somebody like her!”

About: I have grown up with dogs in the family and am a volunteer at the local dog shelter in Stamford's Lucky Dog Refuge. I don't have pets of my own currently so that's why I volunteer and am on Rover so I can care for your pets like my own :) I do have a demanding full time job so I am available in the evenings as well as weekends to get my dose of playing and caring for your pets! Depending on proximity, if you are in the Old Greenwich area I may be available during the day. Great reason to get out of my home office - it's a win-win. In your home, I will care for your pet based on your specific needs and requirements outside of standard walking, feeding, watering and play time.

West Side dog parents share their Rover experiences
Judy was great! She was very flexible and had a solid understanding of dogs. Asked great questions to be more than prepared and far exceeded what we wanted for updates and pics. I was somewhat worried because my dog is not good with other dogs and Judy’s building has other dogs who share the elevator. She handled our pooch well and Roxy came back happy and healthy. Would definitely recommend trusting Judy with your fur babies!
I can't recommend Nicole enough as a dog sitter! She took amazing care of my dog, Romeo. Nicole was incredibly responsive and flexible, always quick to reply and accommodating to any changes. I truly appreciated the frequent photo updates she sent, which kept me at ease knowing Romeo was happy and well cared for. It's clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. Thank you, Nicole, for your outstanding care!
Erika and her beautiful family pampered our dog for a week. The fenced yard was perfect to get some exercise running around, chasing a ball etc and the kids were so sweet to our pup. Erika sent us frequent updates and her action shots were very helpful because we missed our baby so much. It really helped us to see her being treated so nicely and having a lot of fun with Erika and family.
Jorge gave me updates everyday on Coco. He prioritized her needs and was genuinely involved in her daily routine giving her what she needed when she needed it. I've booked multiple stays with Jorge and feel extremely at ease knowing my dog is in a loving environment.
Cannot say enough good things about Marnie’s stay with Manavi! Not only did Manavi watch her for two weeks, she was very accommodating in changing the start date when our travel plans suddenly changed. We got consistent updates on Marnie while away, and she was smiling in every single picture! We can tell Marnie already misses her!!
I can’t recommend enough Kellwin for doing an amazing job, taking care of Khloe. From the very beginning communication was clear and prompt. He created a space for dog parents new to Rover to ask questions and share information. Throughout the entire stay we received regular updates and the cutest pictures of Khloe that helped ease our minds. It was clear that Khloe was happy and in great hands. Should there ever be another need for dog sitting, we will be looking to rebook with Kellwin. Thank you again for taking such great care of Khloe.
Lina is just fabulous! I have an older dog who had not been boarded for a while. My dog took to Lina instantly and spent the weekend at Lina’s home. Lina gave her lots of extra walks and love and care and sent pictures during her stay. I feel like my dog has a new best friend.
Our Lapa had a phenomenal time with Alexandra during our out of country vacation. There is a lovely dog park in the neighborhood, so the dog had plenty of zoomies, which was a big bonus. Alexandra shared photos and videos throughout as well. You can tell when people truly care, and Lapa loved staying with her as well. We recommend Alexandra and will leave Lapa with her again without hesitation!
