“I highly recommend Sofia. She is extremely professional and a natural with my (2) dogs. They love her. I always know my dogs are well cared for when Sofia is in charge. I am so happy I found her.”


2. Rose A.

“Rose walked our GSD a couple of days for us and she was great with her. She came at the time we asked and took a few pictures throughout the walk.”

“Kalie is a natural pet whisperer! My dog Penny absolutely loves Kalie and always has the best time with her. She has an instant connection with every animal she meets and has raised and trained several of her own pups and kitties. She is playful, responsible, nurturing - a true gem!”

5. Dani H.
About: I’m a college student at Sacred Heart University, and I have had a dog for as long as I can remember. I love caring for dogs and giving them the love and attention that they deserve. I am able to provide many different activities for the dog (see below) and make sure that their needs are met to the best they can be. Something that separates me from other walkers/sitters is that I have been training my own psychiatric service dog for over 3 years. I have minimal dog training and know how to handle dogs in a variety of different ways. As I am a full time college student, my schedule differs from week to week. I am free every weekend, and I am most free on Monday’s, Wednesday’s and Friday’s I have two other friendly dogs, both about 30 pounds, Australian Labradoodles. Someone is almost always home, and we have a crate so we can crate the dog if needed. We have a very big backyard (about 2 acres) where the dog can run. Please note that the backyard is not fenced as we have an invisible fence.

“Alexa is terrific with our sometimes difficult dog. He loved her from the moment he met her! Alexa is extremely conscientious, keeping me updated on her arrival and departure and always checking his food and water before she leaves. And she takes the BEST pictures of their walks!”


7. Jeanine N.

“I appreciated that she asked to come for a meet and greet and walk through so we wouldn’t have any issues. I didn’t have to worry knowing she was taking care of my dog while I was away!”


8. Valentina M.
About: For two years, I have been taking care of pets of different sizes and needs. I love walking dogs, playing with them and making sure they are comfortable and happy. I have experience taking care of both puppies and older pets that need more attention. Your pet will be in the best hands. I currently work part-time, so I have time to take care of your pet. I am available for visits or care during weekends and during the week between 9am and 12pm I take care of pets in their own homes! I understand that cats need a quiet and safe environment, so nothing better than their own home


9. Jackie C.

“Jackie is awesome! She's very patient and loving toward our high energy golden, Franklin. We trust her to give him lots of love, attention and to take adorable photos of him. Thank you for your help Jackie!”


10. Clare K.

“Clare is exactly what I needed to help me out with our family dog. She is so flexible, accommodating, understanding, the list goes on. She shows up on time, communicates any concerns when she needs to, and I will be hiring her again, no question! She’s absolutely perfect- and I don’t normally say that about any service and I’ve lived in Westport for over 50 years. What is perhaps even the most important, is that our dog loved her. And animals can sense kind spirits! Thank you Clare!!”

15. Caitlin N.

“Caitlin was so great! We hired her to walk and feed our two pups when we went out for a long date night. She arrived exactly when we requested and followed the instructions we requested with walking, feeding, and using the commands our pups are used to. She sent updates while she was there and gave us a detailed report card. We will definitely hire her again!”

“Jenny was so amazing with our dog Toby! He had never been left alone through COVID and she was able to immediately connect with him and he was so incredibly excited everytime she came to spend time walking and playing with him! She is a complete natural - warm and caring and our family highly recommends her. Thank you Jenny!”




19. Kim A.
“It has been such a pleasure having Kim in my neighborhood. Kim has pet sat for me for many years. Kim watches my dog, Max, and my two cats, Rosie and Dot. I often leave Kim in charge of Max, Rosie and Dot while I go away on vacation. Not only do I trust Kim to keep my house safe and in order, but I fully trust her to take the best care of my pets. She even takes care of my goldfish! Max, Rosie and Dot love her, and are so excited every time she comes to the house. Kim treats my pets like her own, and this really gives me peace of mind while I am away. I highly recommend Kim for any pet care. It is apparent that she has a true love for animals, and cares for them deeply.”
