Primavera was absolutely amazing with Max! From the moment she started caring for him, I could tell how much she genuinely cared about making sure he felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She took the time to get to know Max, understand his personality, routines, and needs, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. One thing I especially appreciated was how communicative she was. She regularly sent photos and updates, letting me know how Max was doing and keeping me informed about his behavior and activities. As a dog mom, those updates meant the world to me and helped me feel connected to him even when I couldn’t be there. It’s clear that Primavera truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to provide personalized care. Knowing that Max was in such attentive and caring hands allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away. I would not hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you, Primavera, for taking such wonderful care of my boy! 🐾❤️

Melodie is wonderful. She really got to know my dog and is great with grouping together similar temperment dogs at the same time. My dog was spoiled with play, walks, treats and outdoor deck/yard time. I received lots of updates and pictures. Highly recommend her for anyone who is nervous about leaving their pup when traveling out of town!

10-out-of-10 WILL RECOMMEND! Did a introduction a few weeks prior to the date and on sight my babies ran to Margarita! Like these little Cavapoos dragged me with the strength of pits trying to get to her! Her smile and laughter is so infectious, I could see why they were drawn to her! On their drop-off, from the moment they got out of the car, I was a nobody! I didn't know weather to be hurt or relived. I decided to choose relief! I watched my babies walk into Margarita's home as if they lived there! I received updates on their sleep time and on pick-up, they were very happy to have made a amazing friend in her and her entire family! I will use her again and again and am very grateful for the care and love she showed my babies!

I have never left our pup with a sitter for an extended period but we were going to a family gathering out of state and dogs were not allowed. Maureen had such good reviews so we picked her and I am so glad we did. My Velcro dog loved it there and Maureen kept us informed and sent pictures also. She has an awesome fenced in back yard, unfortunately it was a rainy day but next time we are in the area we hope to have Snickelfritz stay there again. Our dog is a rescue and has not been with us that long, we are very protective as we do not know the conditions she came from. It was so comforting to know she was in such good, loving hands.

About: Dear Future Client, Thank you for considering me to care for your cherished dog! I know how important it is to find someone who will truly love your pet while you're away. For me, dog sitting isn't a job, it's a passion. I've been a lifelong family animal lover, and when your dog stays with us, they become a member of my family. While I love all dogs, I offer special focus and patience for pets with unique needs: Senior Care: I have specific experience administering oral medications and providing gentle, low-impact care for our wise senior dogs. I ensure they have a calm, quiet, and comfortable environment for their achy joints. Puppy: If you have a puppy, I will reinforcing your rules, maintain consistent crate training and stick your potty schedule to ensure they feel confortable and secure. Be sure that my home is completely dog-proofed, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands. I will complete your dog's exact feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule. You'll receive every morning and evening a detailed update with multiple photos and videos (if you request) so you never have to wonder how your baby is doing. I look forward to meeting you and earning your trust. Let's schedule a Meet & Greet soon so you can see where your dog will enjoy their happy stay! Warmly, Rodger (Your Dog's Second Best friend) Caring for your dog is the central focus of my day, guaranteed!. Your pet's needs are never missed because my schedule ensures continuous supervision. First potty break, feeding (per schedule), and gentle morning play. Long exercise walk (30-45 mins), dedicated playtime, and midday potty breaks. This is when I focus on reinforcing puppy training or providing calm senior monitoring Dinner (per schedule), extended backyard/safe area access, and focused attention during family time. "Rodger Report" sent with photos/updates. Last potty break, secured sleeping area, and medication administration (if needed). I believe trust is built through transparency. You will receive the "Rodger Report" (a detailed summary with photos/videos) multiple times daily, confirming their safety, happiness, and adherence to their specific schedule.

About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until late August. I can make myself and my home available as needed. I live in a townhome that features a large, lush, and open neighborhood to walk your dogs in. My home has two floors; the first floor is where your pet will stay. When your pet is in my home, they are treated like members of my family. They will be fed, walked, and enriched on your schedule, and will be allowed to sit on the couch and even sleep in my bed at nights if comfortable. I take great care to ensure that your pet’s stay is comfortable and fun-filled. In my home, I currently have two budgies in a large cage and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away or kept caged when your pets are being boarded. When I am in your home, I cultivate the utmost respect. I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet, and leave everything else exactly how I found it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Claudia was absolutely wonderful with Ace and Nino! She cared for them in her home, took them on walks, and most importantly, gave them so much love and attention. She kept me updated with texts throughout my trip, which gave me peace of mind knowing my fur babies were in great hands. I couldn’t ask for better care. I highly recommend her! 🐾💛

Jose was absolutely amazing with my boys. Big highlight that he sent up to 10 photos a day, and kept in constant contact. It definitely made my trip less stressful knowing that they were taken care of. We dropped off the boys knowing one of them had an upset stomach, but Jose navigated it perfectly, and managed to get him back to tip top shape. In the end Jose was great with communicating about pick up so it was a very quick process. My boys came home happy and tired, which was great! I highly recommend having your fur babies stay with Jose

Dhruvit watched my sweet Angel for the first time while I was out of town for the weekend. Things didn’t work out with the first two set of sitters I tried, so now I am always hesitant to leave her anywhere. I received pics/updates throughout her stay, which helped me to stay at ease. I can tell Angel had lots of fun exploring in the backyard! Thank you and your family very much for your kindness, we will be back! 😁

Lucas and Katherine were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bentley. This was the second time they cared for him, and once again they exceeded our expectations. They kept us updated throughout our trip with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Bentley experienced a minor tummy issue during his stay, and they were incredibly attentive, caring, and proactive in making sure he was comfortable and well cared for. They also showed great flexibility and understanding when our travel schedule shifted, which we truly appreciated. It’s clear that they genuinely love and care for the pets they watch. We felt completely confident that Bentley was in great hands. We highly recommend Lucas and Katherine to anyone looking for trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate pet sitters. We will absolutely be booking with them again in the future!

I couldn’t be happier with our dog sitter! From the moment I met her and her husband, I knew I could trust them. I’m extremely picky about who I leave Princess with—she’s my baby! But they went above and beyond. I got daily photos, videos, and even thoughtful little gifts when I picked her up. Princess was so loved and cared for—it was clear from their experience (she was a vet in Colombia!) and their passion. I’m beyond satisfied and relieved to have found someone I trust in New York. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, look no further. I’m so grateful for them, and Princess had the best time!

Yanina, and her family treated her like she was already part of their family. They were especially understanding when we had to drop our dog off later than our initial time. She sent us pics during our vacation and updated us. I was relieved that they had a fenced in yard because dalmations love to run. We picked up our fur baby in great shape. Thanks to Yanina and her family we will definitely rebook in future.
