“Amber was awesome with Jag. Sent me pictures & videos of Jag having fun. I would definitely recommend Amber. I’ve never felt so comfortable leaving my dog with anyone. Thank you again Amber for making my time away relaxing & worry free!”
“I always trust that my dog will be safe and happy when he goes to Kerri’s. She is great with him but also super responsive with me. Always love seeing photos of my dog having a great time while I am away. Thanks Kerri!”
“Truly a wonderfully easy experience. I have never had someone watch my dogs before, so I was nervous about leaving them. They were amazing and made this whole process seamless from the very beginning. From the moment I was considering to book with them, I asked if we could do a meet and greet to make sure my pups get along with theirs. Without hesitation, they had us come over to do so. They were responsive and easily reachable. They sent us tons of photos and videos of our pups while they were in their care. They took amazing care of my dogs and contacted me with any questions or concerns about them. Again, we can’t thank you enough! Highly recommend booking with them!!!!!”
“Cocoa warmed up to Vanessa and her family soon after we left her at their house. Vanessa sent us updates, pictures and videos which comforted us, knowing that Cocoa was happy. We will definitely have Vanessa watch Cocoa again.”
“Axel loved his 3 day stay with Jennifer! She takes great care of her pups, and gives tons of 1 on 1 attention. We appreciated the photo/video updates during his stay. Highly recommend Jennifer and would definitely book again!”
“This is Riley’s fourth stay with Dan. I couldn’t be more pleased and am very satisfied with the care he recieves. I am able to travel in peace as I know that he is in good hands. So happy to have Dan as a sitter.”
“Delmy and her daughter were great! They sent photos and videos constantly. Her house was clean and she even let me come and meet her before I even booked. It was very comforting knowing she wanted me to feel comfortable leaving my Remi with her. Thank you so much!”
“I cannot say enough good things about the care Freedom gave to my senior dog, Chunky. He’s an older dog with some anxiety issues, and Freedom handled him with so much patience, kindness, and calm energy. They went above and beyond. They took him to the dog park not once but twice, made homemade treats, and even gifted him a sweet new bandana. When I came home, I could tell Chunky had been genuinely happy and well cared for. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your pet, but I feel completely at ease leaving Chunky with Freedom anytime. I’m so thankful we found them, and I’ll absolutely be booking again.”
“You can stop looking for a dog sitter here Alex is great I've already asked him if he could do this time next year. His communication was great he answers within minutes he sent pictures and videos. Roscoe (my dog) came home so calm and happy and actually even listen to me better. I highly recommend him”
“Denise and her family are terrific. Our two dogs were right at home and taken care of extremely well. Denise is very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Communication is excellent. No stress for the dogs or for us. We will not hesitate to book a stay in the future and highly recommend Denise. :-)”
“Donna took such great care of our pup!! She put us at ease as this was the first time Tink was away from us for the overnight stay. Will definitely go back.”
“Theresa is such an awesome sitter, who loved my dog like her own. I appreciated very much the photo updates a couple of times a day, and the fact that my Lily was the only dog she cared for at the time since my girl can get a touch territorial. She treated my baby like family.”
“Christian did a phenomenal job caring for our dog Tatertot while we were away. From the beginning, his communication was excellent—he kept us informed and at ease every step of the way. His attention to detail was clear, and we could tell Tatertot was in loving, capable hands. The sweetest surprise was receiving a photo of Tatertot at the end of the stay, thoughtfully gifted by Christian. It was such a heartfelt touch and really showed how much he cared. Would absolutely recommend Christian to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate sitter!”
“Gerald did a great job with my senior foster, Pam. She deals with significant anxiety and back-leg pain, so I was nervous about leaving her in a new space with a stranger, but I had nothing to worry about. She settled in quickly and even felt comfortable enough to trick Gerald into getting off the couch so she could steal his spot. Although she’s usually reluctant to be active, she went on several walks with him. Gerald was also great about sending regular photos and updates, and very flexible when I ran late for pickup. Highly recommended for anyone with a senior or high-needs dog.”
“Eliana was the perfect match for my Daytona! She was constantly sending me updates on my boy and he seemed so happy and content in every photo! Thank you for taking such great care of our puppy! We will definitely be using Eliana for future stays!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 16. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love on their pets like they’re my own. Whether it’s playful puppies, energetic adults, or gentle seniors, I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy keeping pets happy and safe. I’d love to give your furry friend the same care and affection! I run my own social media marketing agency from home, so your pups will never be left alone for long stretches. I’m around throughout the day to give them playtime, potty breaks, and all the love they need. I’m available for boarding everyday but Tuesday’s and walks or drop-ins on weekdays after 2pm. I have a secure fenced yard and one friendly puppy who love making new pals and is crate trained. Your fur baby will get plenty of exercise, safe outdoor time, and supervised play. I can also crate them if needed. I treat every pet like my own, keeping them happy, comfy, and safe.
“This was my first time ever letting someone dog sit my dog and I had the best experience with Gabi. Keira loved her and her stay with Gabi. She took very great care of my dog and I definitely leave Keira with her again.”
“Diana was amazing with my pup, Louis! He had an absolute blast — especially getting to run around outside and play with the other dogs and kids, which is such a treat for him since he doesn’t get that kind of freedom in Manhattan. I could tell he was well cared for and totally in his element. Communication was great, with tons of photos daily, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such a loving, fun environment. I’d strongly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible sitter — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Cathy was incredible! We knew she would be a great fit for Jefferson during the meet and greet. He got along well with her dogs and seemed to really like her and her husband. This was the first time that we were ever leaving him so we wanted to make sure he would be comfortable so we wouldn’t have to worry the entire weekend while we were away. This was the best decision we ever made. Jefferson barely said goodbye to us at the drop off and had a fun filled weekend playing with the other dogs. The pictures that Cathy sent reassured us that he was having the time of his life!! I highly, highly, recommend Cathy for any of your dog care needs. She was fabulous and made us feel like he was taken care of better than we ever could have imagined. Jefferson had so much fun from his weekend away that he pretty much slept for two days afterwards. Thank you so much for being such an excellent caregiver, we can’t wait to book his next stay!!”

Our doggos took an instant liking to Kyla, whom from this first instance of contact was so incredibly polished and professional and really helped put us at ease. She sent is pictures for updates and answered all of our questions. We will definitely be repeats, our dogs had a superb time and hardly missed us at all
My Benji was in great hands! Maria took good care of him and treated him as if he were her own. She provided picture and video updates and she was very responsive. I would certainly book her again and would have no reservations recommending her to anyone who is looking for a sitter.
Christian was absolutely wonderful — super sweet, reliable, and trustworthy with my dog, Kasper. I was initially very apprehensive about being away for a whole week, but Christian quickly put my mind at ease. He communicated clearly and consistently, sending regular updates with photos and videos so I always knew how Kasper was doing. I truly appreciated the care, attention, and professionalism he provided. I would highly recommend Christian to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate sitter for their fur babies! 🤗
I left my dog Bruno with Dannica and Chris for a week, and they took excellent care of him. They sent regular updates and several photos every day, which made me feel comfortable knowing he was doing so well. I would definitely leave Bruno with them again and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters. Thank you Dannica and Chris!
Edward is as great with my dog Ollie! He provided daily updates, was flexible and responded in a timely manner. I was nervous since this is the first time I left Ollie for a long period of time but Edward made me feel comfortable and I was confident Ollie was in good hands. Would definitely use Edward again and would recommend him
