“Elvia is amazing! All I could say is wow after getting home and reading handwritten report cards for all three dogs and my cat individually. She has great attention to detail, care, and professionalism and is adaptable under tight time frame. She sent me pictures every day and spent time to get to know each of my animals so kindly and professionally. Very impressed 100/10!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 and I love it. Having 2 dogs of my own I know what it’s like to find quality pet care so I like to provide families with the relief of knowing their four-legged baby is being well taken care of! Through my experiences, I’ve learned how to be attentive to dogs cries, whines, whimpers, etc. and body language which helps me make sure they get what they need. I’m currently a college student and am home for the summer. I work at the grocery store 3 days a week so during those hours I wouldn’t be at the house but other than that I will be there! I can’t leave during work but as my hours are short, it has not interfered with my ability to tend to the dogs! I work with each pet parent to make sure I have all the details of the pet’s schedule. In my home, pets are always viewed as members of our family. I believe that pets require the same love and attention that people do so that’s what I share with my clients as well!

About: Hi, I’m Kylie! I’ve been pet sitting for over 12 years and have had dogs my whole life—they’ve always been my favorite family members. I’m totally obsessed with animals and treat every pet like my own. I’m super active and always up for long walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Whether your pet is high-energy or laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away! As a full-time speech therapist, I work during standard weekday hours—but I’m available for morning walks, evening check-ins, and weekend care. I’m great at working around my schedule to make sure your pet gets the love, attention, and activity they need, even during busy weeks! I am a very responsible and caring person, your pet will be under very good care with me! I am always down to give my 100 percent attention to a pet!

“Jessica was absolutely amazing at housesitting and taking care of our babies. She communicates wonderfully, sends tons of questions, is able to solve problems without freaking out, and doesn’t hesitate to let you know if things happen. We absolutely loved having her watch our dogs, it made going on vacation less stressful knowing they were with her!”


About: I’m experienced, intuitive, kind, and gentle. I love the hyper, enthusiastic dog as well as the gentle and shy one. I also understand when a dog misses its owner, needs attention or is ill. I have just returned home to Connecticut from Texas and have a lot of open time while we get settled. My schedule is open and flexible for you. I will come to your house to let out, walk, feed or bathe your pup. If you are in Darien, New Canaan, or Norwalk I am a short distance away. I am very safety and health conscious with your pet. Many pets have separation anxiety when an owner leaves and it is important to keep a regular schedule for sweetie.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, looking after puppies, adults, and seniors. I understand their needs based on their energy, age, and personality, whether it’s a gentle walk for older dogs or a sprint with active pups. Friends and neighbors trust me to babysit their dogs while they work or travel, knowing I’ll keep them safe, happy, and loved. I love walking, practicing tricks with dogs in training, and spending quality time with furry friends. Your dog’s safety is my priority—I’m mindful of weather conditions, avoid risks, and always communicate about treats, routes, or special instructions. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a task; it’s truly a joy. I work from home two days a week and am usually home on weekends. My job is flexible, allowing me to take breaks during the day, which I love using for refreshing walks—especially with a dog by my side. I can also babysit dogs while working from home, as my apartment allows pets. I don’t have roommates, and my husband loves dogs just as much (if not more) than I do, so your pup will get plenty of love and attention in a calm, pet-friendly environment. I currently don’t have dogs of my own, as my pups live with my mom, so I truly miss spending time with furry friends and would love to care for yours. In my apartment, your pet will have enough space to rest and play indoors. I live less than 400 feet from a dog park, and the neighborhood is perfect for dog walking, giving your pup the chance to explore and get fresh air. My husband also works from home, so together we’ll keep a close eye on your furry friend, ensuring they’re happy, safe, and loved. If I’m caring for your pet at your home, I’ll adapt to their routine and the space they’re familiar with. Depending on the length of the stay, I’ll make sure they’re walked, given attention, and engaged in light training or play. For longer periods, I’m happy to work remotely from your location to provide consistent companionship and care.

“We had an amazing experience with Janine! She took such great care of our dog, Shelby with lots of walks, love, and attention. She kept us updated regularly with pictures and let us know right away when Shelby had an upset stomach and didn’t eat breakfast, which we really appreciated. It was clear she genuinely cared about Shelby and wanted her to be happy and comfortable. She even took care of our leopard gecko and watered our plants while we were away! I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and caring sitter.”


“I wish I could leave 10 stars!! Catalina was amazing with my two pups! One senior and one 9 week old. She was professional and loving towards them. Catalina was very respectful while sitting in my home. I will 100% be using her services again!”

kaitlin s.
“We have a 10YO Rhodesian mix and a 4 month old Great Dane. From the time we brought our first home, Kaitlin has been playful, loving, attentive and proud. In his later years, when she is home visiting, she is the first to jump in and help with his love and care and meds. In addition, she balances her time and attention between him and our new puppy. And I could not ask for a better partner with our new Dane. Her willingness to jump in and take over the new-parent responsibilities (crate training, feeding, outdoor time, sleep schedule, clean-up, etc.) highlights her love for dogs and a level of responsibility many of her peers haven’t reached yet.”


Kylie C.
“Kylie is an incredible dog walker and our pups absolutely adore her! She’s reliable, friendly, and always shows up with a smile and lots of energy. Our dogs get so excited when they see her—they know they’re in for a fun and safe walk. Kylie takes the time to understand each dog’s personality and needs, and she treats them with so much care and attention. We feel completely at ease knowing our dogs are in such good hands. She's truly the best!”

Cindy B.
“1) There are 7 groups/breeds of dogs judged at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, and each group has the four top dogs receive placements/awards based on their performance. If you took the best pet loving and caring attributes of all 28 winning owner/trainers and morphed them into one person.... that person might come close to Cindy's innate warmhearted love and attachment for dogs. 2) If there was a new TV series entitled "The Dog Whisperer" and forty people signed up to take part in a one hour audition for the lead role. And if Cindy was one of those forty people, and she was chosen to be the first to be auditioned........ten minutes into the audition, the other 39 would be sent home. 3) Dogs, like humans, have moods. Cindy has an ability to read them, and adjust walking paths and standing still time to match those moods. 4) Dogs owners need to have trust in the person they allow their special family member to spend time with.. They need to be assured the upcoming temporary substitute caring and protection meets their elevated standards. Upon their return, they will be pleasantly surprised that their expectations were not only met, but exceeded. That's just the way Cindy B. rolls. 5) In our world, there are four types of physical bonds holding everything together. From weakest to strongest, they are: Van Der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds and the strongest being covalent bond. The bond that Cindy had with her dearly departed, Stella, dwarfs them all.”


Nicole G.

“Nicole stayed at my house and watched my German shepherd for a week and was great! House was left clean and my pup was very happy and well taken care of!”


Katia L.
“atia has been an absolute lifesaver when it comes to caring for Puki while I travel for work. Puki has some hip issues and needs extra patience, love, and attention, and Katia provides all of that and more. The longest Puki has stayed with Katia was two weeks, and I couldn’t have been more at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Katia treats Puki like one of her own, ensuring she’s comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. I’m so grateful to have someone as trustworthy and compassionate as Katia to look after Puki. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is not only safe but also genuinely loved while I’m away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
