We knew right away it was going to be great - it was the 1st time she had boarded outside our house. But it wasn't at all like boarding; she was right at home and when we dropped her off for our actual trip she settled in without a hint of discomfort. Her stay with Greg was a total success. Greg was great and his set up was welcoming to our little furry girl.

Tom is a very caring and intuitive individual and I 100% trust him with the care of Mittens (my…read morecat,) and my home. He has pet sit for us many times in San Diego when I have gone on vacation from anywhere from 3-6 days. I feel like some people are either "dog people," or "cat people," but Tom is "animal people." He looked after my cat so well, I think she prefers him over me now! We are sad that Tom left San Diego, but know that he will make many pet parents happy in CT. I highly recommend Together By My Side.

Not only did Tom train JJ he explains everything to me. I am able to continue to teach JJ even when Tom is not here. Tom is also a great dog walker and JJ absolutely loves him. I would not trust my animals with anyone else.

My husband and I both commute into the city and Kate is so on top of the scheduling and responsive to our needs. When we had an emergency and couldn't get home she was over at our house within an hour. When our dog got a cut on her foot while playing Kate took her to the vet, got her medicine and even footed the bill despite my trying to cover it. She also runs the business like a true business and makes invoicing a breeze. Words can't describe the peace of mind it gives me having sound pups in our neighborhood!

With that said, I have absolutely no reservations about using Sound Pups. We have family in Norwalk and we visit frequently; we've needed someone to walk Molly while we're out and about with the fam. As soon as we did a meet and greet with Kate, I knew Sound Pups was the walking company for us. I expressed all of my anxieties and Kate confidently addressed each one. She understood my concerns and I walked away feeling COMPLETELY confident. I also have to admit, that doesn't happen often. When we're in Connecticut, I entrust Sound Pups to take care of Molly so we can enjoy our time with the family. A++, absolutely recommended. Thank you, Kate!!

Leah is easily the best dog walker we've ever had. I struggled a little to type dog walker as she…read morehas become so much more than that to us over these last few months. Our dogs absolutely love Leah, and we enjoy chatting with her every chance we can! We have so much trust in Leah to take care of our pups. It was a challenge when our last walker dropped us, but Leah quickly stepped in and put our minds at ease, speaking to her experiences and quickly getting along with our dogs. We have 2 very high energy pups that need to be watched closely, otherwise they will inevitably get into trouble. We've had cases of our pups getting away, and multiple scheduling issues with our last walker (NOT Leah :) ), but we have not once had an issue since Leah has taken over. With many dog walkers out there, and knowing how much people value their pets, we can not recommend Leah enough. She is super easy to work with, and most importantly, just someone you can trust!

Leah is the absolute best! I wasn't aware how expensive dog walking/ pet sitting can be, I briefly…read morelooked on Rover and wag for the cheapest sitter and realized that as with most things, you get what you pay for- Enter Leah. PawsBarkPlay was recommended to me by someone who had a particularly difficult rescue dog. Leah took time to try and get to know the dog before she agreed to walk him and she refused to charge the owner (who paid her anyway) for the first few visits because even though she spent more time than normal at the house she wasn't able to get the dog to warm up to her enough to walk him the first couple times. When I heard this story I thought two things: 1. There's no way this person was actually that nice. 2. I have to get her to walk/ sit my dog (Birdy) To be honest, everything seemed strangely too good to be true. Down to the business cards which were nicer that any I've seen (including my own) and the fact that she was licensed and insured?? Like I said, I didn't think the dog walking business was that serious but she's got it all. The card even says that she's pet first aid & cpr certified (I forgot to ask for proof but I believe her). Anyway, when she showed up I found out that she had recently moved here from the south which explained everything, she has not yet been corrupted by our New England brash way of thinking. She was the sweetest person and took to Birdy immediately. I should say that Birdy is very well behaved and not at all aggressive but she's cautious about new people. Birdy ran to her like she was a long lost relative, I was shocked and a little jealous. Leah told me that she just recently started this business but you would never know. Her prices seem middle of the road for what I've seen out there ($25/30 min walk) but her service and level of care is beyond what I expected and make her prices seem cheap. I was surprised to see that she didn't have any reviews but I have a feeling that her clients are trying to keep her a secret like I thought about doing. As a Yelper, though, I felt obligated to leave this review but she absolutely deserves it. Hopefully she'll keep it in mind when she gets busy!

Karen and Deb were patient and took the time to get to know Pepper on his terms, which is what he needed to trust them and properly bond. Karen and Deb are consistently on time, reliable, and communicative. There have been several occasions where we've been in a bind -- needing to work late or leave town last-minute -- and Karen has gone out of her way to help, making sure Pepper is walked, fed, and cared for with the same calm, responsible presence she always brings. We trust her completely and are so grateful for the care and consistency she provides. If you're looking for a thoughtful, experienced, and genuinely kind dog walker in Stamford or the surrounding area, we couldn't recommend Karen and the Ruff 'n' Tumble team more highly.

The bad news, my mom could no longer take care of her dog, Gizmo. I started out patching in different dog walkers using Rover. Very complicated with too many cancellations. SONO walkers stepped in to totally take care of all the dog's needs. They have not missed an appointment for months. Twice per day x 7 days per week. They also make sure Gizmo gets fed and they take him to groomers when needed. Since I live far away, this is an enormous relief to my family and my mother is so happy to continue living with her beloved dog.

They developed some matting and that made the brushing problem worse. After I realized that I need help, it was a challenge to find a groomer who could handle cats - they all seem to work only with dogs. A neighbor referred me to Aussie Mobile Grooming and I was given an appointment with Bridget. She is a true miracle worker! She got all of the mats out and, miraculously, both of my cats still like her! I'm so grateful to have found this business. Against my own interest, I am going to share that I think they should charge MORE because Bridget is WORTH IT!
