Dog Walking West Side

“Ziyi was a perfect dog walker, communicative and professional. I loved the reports and photos from each walk. I definitely will be using her services again!”

“Michelle did so great with Zephyr! We were so worried about having to leave him alone all day for the first time. He's only 8 months old, so we really needed to break up his alone time. I was so nervous, but Michelle made everything so much better! Zephyr had the best time with her and we are definitely going to have her back!”

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a small kid! If you have 3 pups or more, I just charge for 2! When I turned 17 I worked at a doggy daycare called rover retreat, where I fell in love with taking care of dogs! I went to school in Colorado, my native state, for a couple of years, where I dog sat off and on. I decided to pick my life up and move to the city of Stamford with my to be closer with my girlfriend's family. I love to teach pups tricks and enrich the lives of all animals! Even if your pup is difficult or different, I can work with it:) I am experienced with puppies, seniors, diabetics, pets with medication. I've taught dogs how to run with a bicycle and how to do new tricks like handshake and wait. If you choose me, you're guaranteed someone with lots of experience and a big heart for your furry friend(s). My schedule is currently completely open for your pups' care!! I was in school for a couple of years in boulder, met a wonderful girl, and moved with her out east to the city of Stamford. I doordash other than dog sitting so I can easily accommodate. I watch over the client’s pup and give it all the affection and attention it needs while also maintaining decency and care for the space and all beings and things within.

“Nicole took the time to understand our dog’s needs, was punctual for the walk and communicative throughout. Ollie is typically very shy with others, but he’s already started warming up to her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker!”

About: I've been around and had dogs/cats my entire life and have always had a genuine love for animals. Growing up with dogs has helped me understand the importance of patience, consistency, and providing a safe, loving environment. I have 3 years of hands-on pet care experience, including recently raising two Maltese brothers and staying actively involved in their daily care and well-being. Through this experience, I've learned the importance of maintaining routines, giving each dog individual attention, and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I treat every animal as if they were my own and want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring, dependable hands! Pet sitting is something I'm excited to incorporate into my weekly routine because caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I'm committed to being reliable, flexible, and making sure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I would plan my schedule around each booking to ensure I can maintain their usual routines, including walks, feeding times, playtime, and companionship. I also understand the importance of communication with pet parents and would provide updates and photos to help them feel comfortable while they're away. Having grown up around dogs and recently caring for two Maltese brothers, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I would prioritize their individual needs, follow their established routines, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and playtime. In a client's home, I would respect their space and follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications if needed and appropriate, and general care. My goal is to help every pet feel secure and comfortable while giving their owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being well cared for.

“Jessica was wonderful. She had an immediate rapport with my dog, and he felt comfortable going out with her right away. They went for a long walk and she was kind and patient with him. She also had the energy to deal with a playful and adventurous dog! I will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve worked for shelters throughout college and fostered multiple cats, my longest foster was a year! 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! My schedule is flexible during the week and I am also able to do overnight stays in areas around Stamford! I have a pet friendly apartment that is perfectly situated to house cats overnight or for a day! Fit with water fountains, toys, automatic feeders, and extra space is a cat needs some alone time. I also have multiple double sized litter boxes or a mini litter box situated in the bathroom. Lastly, I have a camera system to monitor the cats fitted with iOS notifications for any emergencies or alarms in the home.

“Hallie is great and very attentive.”

About: I have had a dog myself for 10 years now and he has been a blessing for me to really learn how dogs think. Being able to take of him for the last 10 years has given me the experience I need to be able to take care of your pet as well. I currently work full time but I do have the flexibility to go and check on your pet during the day if you are local to me or else I am free after 4pm during the week. I am also free on the weekends from 8am - 8pm. I would also be available for overnight boarding at your home. I always make sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable in their familiar environment. I stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding times, walks and playtime and any specific care instructions you provide as I know that some dogs are very sensitive to any change. I can also provide daily photos or videos so you know they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have several years of experience caring for both pets and children. While working as a nanny for multiple families, I was also responsible for their dogs, making sure they were well-fed, exercised, and happy. This gave me hands-on experience with daily walks, playtime, and maintaining routines. At home, I am a proud cat owner, so I also understand the unique needs of cats and how to provide them with the right care and attention. I am patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether it’s walking a dog, keeping a pet company, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. have a very flexible schedule. Sunday Mondays and Tuesdays I am super available. Most mornings before 10 am I’m free and I sometimes work from home. My schedule is adjustable, I can often adapt to different needs during the week. The care I provide always depends on each pet parent’s instructions, since every animal has unique needs and routines. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them regular walks, fresh food and water, playtime, and lots of attention. Safety is always my first priority whether that means keeping doors secured, watching carefully on walks, or following special feeding instructions. I also keep the home environment tidy and respectful, so pet parents can feel fully at ease while they are away.

About: I'm Steven, a former science teacher who turned a lifelong love of animals into full-time pet care. I've cared for my own dogs for years (John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, my senior Chihuahua) and have looked after friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and small pets for as long as I can remember. I'm Fear Free Certified and Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and I'm fully insured and bonded. Teaching taught me patience, routine, and how to read what someone needs when they can't say it in words, which is exactly what good pet care takes. Every booking is handled personally by me, so you'll always know who's showing up at your door. I do this full-time, so your pet is a priority, not a side gig. For house sitting I keep your pet on their normal routine, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime, and I send photo and text updates throughout so you can relax while you're away. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly (I give my own senior dog her meds on a strict schedule, so I take it seriously). Every booking starts with a free meet & greet so your pet and I are comfortable before anything is confirmed. Since I come to you, your pet stays in their own home, familiar surroundings, their own bed and yard, which keeps them calmest, especially seniors and anxious pets. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, mail brought in, plants watered if you'd like, everything left as I found it. I have two dogs of my own, John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, a senior Chihuahua, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior care.

About: I work from home, so I’m often available throughout the day! I’ve grown up with dogs, including a black Lab who was part of my family for many years until we sadly had to say goodbye. I currently have a rescued black Lab, Toddy, from Kentucky, who I’ve had for four years now. He is my bestest friend and is pretty much attached to my hip! We also sent him to a training camp, so I have experience with e-collars if training needs to be reinforced on walks. I also foster puppies with Fetch Rescue, which has given me experience handling dogs with a variety of temperaments, personalities, and needs. Overall, I’m just a major dog lover and would love to help anyone in a pinch who needs a dog walker! I currently work from home so I often am available throughout the day! Mornings between 8:30-10am are fairly difficult but can sometimes make work as my meetings move around. I do not have a fence at my apartment but always make sure her dogs are a leashed before opening the door. Happy to take care of Dogs at someone else’s home In which I would respect like it is mine as I would want the same! I keep a camera in my house so totally respect if someone else would to the same!

“Kelly is great. Zeek I can be a handful. He loved his walk. I will definitely be booking Kelly again.”
