“Thank you Fang! I’ve been boarding my dog with Fang for the last year, and I’m always confident that she’ll be in great hands under her care. This time my dog was on antibiotics for a UTI and Fang took great care of her and made sure she got all her meds!”
“Anne took great care of our dog Ruby! She was very attentive and patient with our girl. She sent us photos and checkins during her stay. We are so happy to have found such a caring sitter and will absolutely use her again!”
“Amanda and Kevin are amazing! They are so sweet with our pup, who is very shy but warmed up to them almost immediately. They kept us updated with lots of photos and we felt so at ease knowing our dog was in such great hands.”
“We always feel confident leaving Billy, our special needs dog with Karin and Charlie. They take great care of him and keep us informed of their adventures together.”
“Suzana was awesome! This was our first time using Rover, and we were a bit nervous, because we had found all of our prior sitters through personal connections. But we got a great vibe from Suzana's Rover bio, and our actual experience confirmed that vibe. Our dog Dee Dee LOVED Suzana immediately, and we felt totally comfortable leaving her. Suzana took excellent care of Dee Dee. She also sent frequent photos and updates, so we could see how well Dee Dee was doing. We will definitely ask Suzana to watch Dee Dee again.”
“Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe! Best communicator , so warm and friendly, and genuinely cared about Lucy’s comfort. So grateful to have found Kylie!”
“My pup had the best time! When I arrived at Mari’s home, she showed me to the outdoor play yard. I received quite a few pics of my pup full on sprinting and having the best time meeting other pups in the neighborhood. Mari’s communication was excellent. I received pics every few hours and my very high energy pup arrived home after her stay and immediately passed out. Not an easy feat for a high energy doodle! We will most definitely be back!”
“Kira was the absolute sweetest to my pup and I’m sure he can’t wait to be back with her and her family. I wish we would have found her months ago but will definitely be using her moving forward. Thanks Kira!”
“David is fantastic. I’ve used his services one other time and can safely say he’s my go to for watching our sweet girl. We went on an 8 day vacation, our first time leaving Rue for a long period of time (she’s 9 months old,) and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable and at ease. David regularly sends updates, photos, and more! So reliable, so fun-loving, and more importantly our Rue absolutely adores him. Would highly recommend David for all of your dog needs. Simply the best!”
“Nadia and her family were wonderful to Ralphie. He really enjoyed his stay. We never felt worried about his well being and Nadia was constantly updating us on his progress. It was our first time leaving him with people he didn't already know!”
About: Hi! I’m Aygen. I love all animals! I’ve taken care of both dogs (puppy, adult, senior) and cats (kitty, adult) since I was a young teen. I’ve watched my family and friends’ dogs and cats whenever they needed. I also took care of neighborhood cats, dogs, and birds when I was living in Istanbul. I’ve volunteered for shelters for so many years and helped cats & dogs to find forever homes. I gained experience with giving oral medicine, cleaning wounds, applying topical medication, and grooming throughout the years. I plan on getting my pet CPR certification next year. I’m a lucky human of a rescued cat since 2018. She is a Scottish Fold mix. I love her so much! I will provide care for your pet as much as I do for my own and send so many updates+pictures during the stay. I understand how you feel as a pet parent myself. 🥲 Also, I have a background in photography. I’ll take the cutest pictures of your pet. 🐕🦺🐈⬛ I have been working from home for awhile now and I have very flexible schedule. I can do cat or dog drop-ins and dog walks basically any time of the day. However we need to plan ahead for boarding or doggy daycares! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in Dumbo. I don’t have any plants that are toxic for pets. I only use non-toxic cleaning supplies to clean my apartment. There is an emergency veterinary clinic (Heal Dumbo) ~5 minutes walking distance.
“Katherine & Ale were beyond amazing! They gave so much care and attention to my little pup and kept me constantly updated with photos, videos and text messages. I could tell my pup was comfortable, well taken care of and happy with his stay and in their home! I will certainly rebook with them again whenever I need someone to watch my pup when I am away. :)”
“Susan was great. We were very nervous to leave our young (1.5 year old) dog for the first time, but Susan reassured us and kept us informed everyday with how he was doing. Susan made sure to play him and walk him often. We could tell from the videos Susan sent us that he had a fun time.”
“Ellana has taken care of my two pups a few times and has done a wonderful job. The boys come back happy and well cared for. Ellana has also been great working around travel difficulties and delays by being flexible and keeping the boys a few extra days. She’s a total lifesaver! Highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again!”
“I have gone back to Jennifer multiple times ever since she first sat my fur baby. She is truly amazing. She keeps me updated and I never have to worry about my dog when he’s in her care. She loves him like he’s her own and brings him comfort. She also responds quickly and willing to accommodate in any way. Jennifer is an amazing sitter❤️”
“Excellent sitter! Aksel took wonderful care of our dog and gave us daily photo updates throughout the weekend. We will absolutely be using him again.”
“Alik watched my dog Gumbo for a week and took great care of him. Gumbo was able to enjoy the company of other dogs during his stay, so he was never lonely. I would recommend Alik to anyone looking to board their dog.”

Aygen E.
“I would trust Aygen with all or any of my pets, she loves animals and is a kind person. Back in her home country she grew up with 2 big dogs and 1 small dog and takes them both on walks everyday and gave them medicine when they need like ear drops. She has rescued cats and birds and have looked after them. She also has a cat herself who she rescued as well. Plus she has strong hands so your dogs will be in good hands.”
