Hannah is a thoughtful and experienced sitter cuz she always kept me posted on how’s QQ doing. QQ usually would be a bit nervous and anxious when being in a new place, and it takes days for her to get used to it, but I can tell that QQ is pretty comfortable at Hannah’s place on the 2nd day. I can tell QQ was in good hands. So I’ll definitely reach out to Hannah again if I need a dog sitter!😁😁

Lena and her husband were incredible with my puppy. Loving to him and kept up with his schedule and socialization. Their dog Canela was so welcoming too. They got along great and Canela was tolerant of my puppy’s energy. Lena kept me up to date everyday on everything. She took care of him as if he were her own. He came back happy, clean and fluffy. I highly recommend Lena.

My dog sitter canceled on me when i was flying out the next day for a week, I was desperate and anxious! I requested her the same day and she accepted less than 2 mins later. She came over for a meet and greet and felt she was a great fit. I dropped my furbaby off later that day. She treated my furbaby as her own. She would send videos and pics to keep me updated. Would definitely not hesitate to use her again!

Dedicated compassionate knowledgeable sitter— I boarded my Weimaraner with Neide for 9 days. Anyone knows and understands this breed knows the energy level that Weims possess, and under her care my dog was loved and cared for as if he was her own. Thank you, Neide.

A week before we were leaving to visit family for the Christmas weekend, I realized I had not secured boarding for our pitbull mix Piper. As luck would have it, we got a mailer in the mail for DogVacay and I started looking for available hosts. It was really important to me that I found someone who had the same love for the breed as I do. Then I found Te'Ana. I loved her profile, as I saw she also had a pitbull in her home. We scheduled a meet n greet for a few days later, and Piper and her dog Dior ran around the yard and got along great. Te'Ana and Dior were great hosts! I got pictures and videos each day - and it was such a relief knowing my little girl was in such good hands. I have a special place in my heart for people who also love my dog! I will definitely use Te'Ana again!

Mary Ann has been watching my dog over the last 5 yrs. I would trust no one else to do this. She is so loving and compassionate to my dog. When I’m away and she is watching my dog, it’s so seemless and easy. My dog loves Mary Ann and does not miss me being there in the least. I highly recommend Mary Ann she is extremely dependable and has a passion for animals. Sam Silverman

Molly was very nervous about her first stay with a new sitter and was well taken care of! Vanessa is very responsive, kind, understanding, and sends lots of updates. She clearly has a lot of love for pups and even has her own toys and snacks for them. We have already booked her for our next trip!

About: Hi! Thanks for stopping by to check out my profile. I love animals of all kinds. I’ve had dogs and cats, as pets, my entire life. In my 20s, I took up volunteer, foster and rescue work with cats and dogs. I’ve been told I have a very calming and soothing effect on little ones that aren’t feeling well or have anxiety concerns. I’ve trained several of my own pets - dogs and cats - and I’ve taken several courses on animal behavior and training. I don’t pet sit as a “side hustle.” If I spend time with your cute kitty or your pawsome pup, it’s because animals bring me great joy. I want to do the same for your furry little one. Do what you need to do. Your little one will be safe, sound and pampered with me. I'm available for boarding, daycare, or training, for dogs or cats, in my home or yours. Let's do a meet and greet and get to know each other. I live in my own house, in Harrison, just a short train ride away from NYC. The door to my living room opens up to my safe and private backyard. It’s ideal for the puppy that just can’t wait to get outside. Because it’s just me, you can rest assured that your baby will get the undivided, one on one attention that they deserve. They will be spoiled, As they should be. I’m available to care for your baby in my home, or in yours. Do you have a training issue that you need help with? Let’s meet!

Carlo is an outstanding dog sitter! His genuine love for dogs shone through in his exceptional care and attentiveness towards our dog. He kept us in the loop with regular, heartwarming updates, photos, and videos, making us feel completely at ease. It’s clear he treats every dog like his own, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind he gave us. Highly recommend him for anyone needing a caring and reliable sitter for their dogs!

If I could I would give Diana and Harish more stars. I first booked them for a whole week but decided- last minute -to book them for a night to get our dog use to their place and they accommodated us right away. The meet and great was great, they showed us their place and our dog loved their backyard, it has plenty of space for his favorite game: fetch 🎾 They are friendly and profesional. They sent pictures, videos and updates. We will keep booking with them! Thank you 🫶🏼
