“We are so happy to have found Erika! She takes great care of our 19lb doodle and sends lots of photos. She’s super easy to communicate with and is very personable as well.”

“Desi had a great time. She received lots of love and attention and also ate well. Rosemarie sent photos several times and it was great to get them while I was away. It was great to find Desi a home away from home.”

“I had a last minute request and Jomini responded almost immediately and saved the day. She asked questions to make sure my dog had the proper precautions to be outdoors at her place and checked with me about any specific schedule before drop off. She was super responsive and flexible with timing for drop off / pick up. She sent so many pictures of my dog and I could see he was having a great time!”

About: I grew up with a loved dog and spent countless joyful hours caring for, playing with and training her. In addition to growing up with a dog, I had the pleasure of intermittently watching my neighbors’ dogs for the past four years and each experience has deepened my love for our furry friends. You can trust that your pets will receive abundant love and attention while you’re away. Having navigated my own dog’s seizures, I’m well-equipped to handle any situation and comfortable administering medication if needed. I can clean up after animals in any regard and am comfortable bathing them if necessary. Your pets will be in compassionate and capable hands. Pet care is something I look forward too every day. Each day, I will dedicate specific times for walks, play and feeding, ensuring that your pets’ needs are fully met. While I work a full-time job, I am ready to accommodate my schedule during the week. I’m available for dog walking or dog sitting or cat sitting after 5 PM on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays. On the weekends, I have even more flexibility, allowing for extended playtime and quality moments with your pets. I have no pets at home, creating a calm and comfortable environment for your pets. If it helps them feel more at ease, I can easily section off a room just for your dog or cat. I also have a long leash available, allowing for plenty of fun and exploration in a safe space. My goal is to provide a stress-free atmosphere for your pets. I’m more than happy to come to your home as well, ensuring they remain in a familiar setting that minimizes anxiety.
“My family and I loved Annette! We wanted to go on a short getaway but we didn’t want to leave Our Cockapoo Miles in a kennel or in the hands of someone careless. We were so lucky to find Annette... what a sweet soul!! She treated Miles with love and care, send pictures and videos daily, spoiled him, took him out on walks and even offer to have him sleep in bed with her every night❤️ Every time we go on vacation and came back to pick Miles up from other places he was nervous, he used to run to the car in a hurry to leave... this time Annette came out holding Miles and he was in no rush to go anywhere... she even had a present for him to take home inside a really cute bag! We are extremely thankful and happy with Annette and there’s no reason for us to take Miles anywhere else when we go away. Thank you Rover and thank you Annette for truly caring for our fur baby. ❤️❤️”

“Ryan went above and beyond was expected. I got update pics and even a call just letting me know my pup was doing great. Maverick received dinner and breakfast exactly as instructed. He even got to visit the dog park (and yes I was ask before of that would be okay to do). Would highly recommend.”
“Daisy lived her overnight stay with Saori. She came home happy and super relaxed. I loved getting photo updates throughout her stay. I knew Daisy was in good hands and it helped make my trip so much more enjoyable knowing she was safe and well cared for. I’ll be booking again soon.”

“Rachael was so good with Swift! He can be a little much, but she took him for lots of hikes and play time and he came home tired, happy, and better behaved. You can tell she loves what she does.”

“Sonia is an amazing dog sitter! Very kind, caring and responsible. Treated my dog like her own. Lives in a beautiful neighborhood to walk dogs. Very easy to talk to and arrange dates and times. Sent pictures every day. My dog made new friends and had a nice vacation with Sonia and her family.”

“I am so happy to have found Clementina. She is lovely and warm and took such very good care of Ezzy. She has a huge backyard and a dogpark nearby and Ezzy got great exercise daily. She sent me lots of pics and was flexible and accommodating when I asked if Ezzy could stay a little longer than I had planned. Her daughter also was there and Ezzy kissed everyone goodbye when we left and wagged furiously. 5 stars.”

About: If you’re looking for someone to just drop a bowl of kibble and scroll on their phone, I’m probably not your person. But if you want someone who will treat your pet like a misunderstood genius or a retired diplomat, we’re going to get along great! I work for the MTA as a train operator in the city, but on my days off I love taking my corgi Zuko on long walks and playing in our yard. I've had dogs and cats since I was young, and have a special affinity for all animals. If you want your fur baby treated like the king or queen they know they are while you're away, look no further! I am currently off Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays so I will have the full 24 hours of those days to walk, play, entertain, and care for your pets. I have a large unfenced yard on a very quiet street off the main road. I also have a extremely friendly and energetic corgi named Zuko who will assuredly be your pets new best friend. There will be tons of playing, running, fetch and more to ensure your pet has the best experience staying at their home away from home.
“Dew dog sat my dog for 3 days and 2 nights. I am very happy with his stay. He was individually cared for, even though there were other dogs there. Dew sent emails and pictures daily. I would definitely use her again to watch my dog. Thank you Dew 🦋”

“Rich was a lifesaver! We needed last-minute help watching Honey, and he responded quickly and made sure we got to do a meet-and-greet. He’s got a great doggy daycare/boarding going from his house with plenty of room in the backyard for the pups to have fun! Rich was a gem in being around all the time for the dogs, being available, and sharing updates. I recommend Rich and his services, even if you are looking more for doggy day care- he is where it’s at!”

“Lily took wonderful care of my dog Pippa! It was my first time working with her and I will definitely use her again. Pippa is a very playful dog and Lily kept her entertained and engaged the whole time. I think Pippa was very bummed to come back home and leave her new friends. Thanks Lily!!”

“Our dog Laika had her first experience of being with a sitter for several days and we were fortunate to have met wonderful people in Natasha and Hamir. Their kindness and attentiveness are extraordinary and they ensured to make our dog as comfortable as possible giving her love and care which made her feel as if at home. Natasha and Hamir were communicating daily with brief recap of the day and Laika’s photos from her walk and during her cozy downtime. They were willing to accommodate any requests we had. Natasha and Hamir are one of a kind and we can only wholeheartedly recommend them as wonderful people and dog lovers. We surely found a place we can call a “home-way-from home” for our Laika in the future as well.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Nicole. She took such good care of our dog and sent pictures throughout the day. The house is perfectly set up for dogs to have a safe and fun time”

Erika is absolutely amazing with our dog, Gotham! She is incredibly responsive, reliable, and truly caring. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Gotham is in such loving and attentive hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and it shows in everything she does. We feel so lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!

Our elderly black lab Sadie received very good care while staying at Marie’s home. Marie sent me several photos of Sadie enjoying herself in her large, fenced in back yard. I can tell Marie is a very kind person who loves animals, as is her husband. I would definitely feel comfortable leaving Sadie in her care again.
Our dogs had the best time! The fenced in yard is secure and gave them a great area to run around and play in. Jen sent a lot of pictures and updates and made us feel really comfortable while our dogs stayed with them. Looking forward to having them watch our dogs again!!
