1. Jen N.
“We met Jen prior to her staying with our cat, Buddy and we knew she would be perfect. She was attentive, asked questions and she made us feel comfortable about watching Buddy. Jen sent photos and videos while we were gone and never left a doubt that she was the right choice to stay with our cat. We will certainly have her back.”
2. Amber S.
“Amber was great with Millie she provided us with updated throughout the weekend and for our first time away without Millie she did great! Definitely will keep in touch for future visits as you’ve made us more comfortable to be able to travel in the future.”

4. Steven & Claudia L.
“Claudia & Steven took exceptional care of my furbabbies and home. My dogs easily warmed up to them and quickly became best buds! They sent daily videos, photos, and check-ins. Their communication and love for animals is top-notch. They have my highest recommendation!”
5. Ashton & Alexandra "Sasha" W.
“Ashton watched my dog Moose for a full day including overnight and Moose had the best time. Moose took to her very quickly after meeting and almost immediately sat in her lap which isn’t her tendency when meeting someone for the first time. While I was away she sent frequent updates with pictures from all their various nature walks and naps in between. I came home to a happy and well exercised pup and now every time we walk past Ashton’s house Moose pulls to go inside.”
6. Garrett F.
“Garrett was so wonderful! My girl loved him immediately and I left knowing she was in incredible hands. Garrett was so responsive and asked such great questions to make sure all information was covered. I will definitely book again!”
7. Mary Quinn M.
“Quinn has looked after three cats for me, in two different locations, as well as my dog. She always did an excellent job at being responsive to their needs, provided them with proper attention, and has taken excellent care of them. My dog always came home from walks with her in great spirits, having fully gotten his fill of the park before heading back to the apartment. You would be hard-pressed to find a better person to look after your pet. She's also a great communicator, taking plenty of photos. Whenever she's looked after my pets, it always felt like I haven't even left them!”
8. Juliana R.
“I have no worries when Juliana cares for our pup! She’s kind, caring and reliable. We always know our pup and our home are in good hands.”
9. Nancy P.
“Nancy took such great care of our two pups and our house. We were in regular contact with her while we were gone and she sent us several "pupdates" to let us know Sophie and Loki were happy. We'll definitely be rebooking her for future vacations and will recommend her highly to our friends who are looking for a dog sitter.”
10. Merina S.
About: I’ve had a family dog since 2018 who I love more than life. I also recently got my own cat who has changed my view on how sweet they are 💜 I currently work from home 80% of the week and am free on weekends. This shouldn’t interfere with my current schedule but rather fill it in. My home is not equipped - it’s an apartment. I have no problem following any/all rules. The goal is to maintain the best, safest environment for your pet!
11. Jess P.
“Jessie has cared for my pets for more than five years providing day to day visits and long term care during periods of travel. She loves them as her own and treats them with kindness, and consideration. She is prompt, reliable, and very professional. My pets are always comfortable in my absence as Jessie gives them lots of cuddles, follows their schedule, and spends time making sure they are not lonely. She provides me with updates, sweet pictures (she is a good photographer) and funny videos of their playful antics. She has a deep and abiding love and affection for the animals in her care. I happily recommend Jessie. You couldn’t ask for a better pet-friend.”
12. Anne T.
“Anne was very patient and understanding as my need for a dog sitter was due to a family emergency, and I was quite stressed. She kept in touch, shared pictures, and responded to my texts in a timely fashion.”
13. Shannon C.
“Shannon has watched our elderly dog many times over the years. Our dog is diabetic so leaving them alone with just anyone can be unsettling. Shannon has a great attitude, very responsible and trustworthy. When we travel its great to not worry about our pet because of Shannons excellent care.”
14. Abby D.
“Abby took great care of our dogs and house over the weekend. She is very communicative and trustworthy, and we felt that our dogs were in good hands while we were away!”
15. Sarah H.
“Sarah was an employee at Dogtopia of Springfield for a couple of months while on summer break, and in that time, quickly became a stand-out employee. She caught on quickly and was able to make herself an invaluable part of the team over the very hectic summer boarding season. She was punctual, communicative, knew when to ask questions and double-check with other more experienced staff/management if unsure of how to properly proceed, and was always willing to assist with any task asked of her. Sarah made it obvious she enjoyed working with animals and would make a great addition to any team/business in the industry. She is still in exceptionally good standing with our facility and we would have been overjoyed if she could have stayed around longer before having to return to school.”
16. Ellie U.
“She took good care of my sweet girl. Sent lots of pictures and my relatively sensitive dog was totally fine when we got home so I know she got love and playtime while we were gone.”
17. pauline g.
“We had Pauline step in when our other rover person had to cancel last minute. Pauline was amazing! I didn’t worry once while I was away. She looked after my Labrador and Main Coon cat. My house was exactly how I left it when I got back. Pauline was great at sending me videos and pictures of my fur babies while she was pet sitting. We love Pauline and will definitely be booking her again. I actually think my pets would’ve preferred more time with her ? A big thank you from Austin and Twyla but a special thanks from Goose ?*woof* and Hubble ? *meow*”
18. Mia M.
“Mia is such a responsible young woman! She is incredibly reliable, always showing up where she says she’ll be and following directions perfectly. She has a real love and care for all people and animals that she meets and a kind energy that I feel so lucky to have in my life. I would definitely trust Mia to care for my own fur babies and would highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

About: I have 6 years of dog walking and boarding experience. I'm used to taking care of dogs of all sizes as well as puppies and their various needs. I just moved to NYC and I'm looking to start doing the same here! I will treat your dog the way I would treat my own and would make sure to care for them in a responsible manner. As a pet owner myself, I know how important responsible care is. I have two cats so I'm not able to accept boarders at the moment, other than one small-medium dog (who is fine with cats) for weekends only. I have a full-time job so I apologize in advance if I can't make certain requested times. I can't wait to work with you and your lovely pets! I currently work full-time in a hybrid manner. On days that I do go in to work, I'd be able to complete early morning walks/checks between 6-7.30am and evening walks/checks from 6.30pm. I'm very flexible on the weekends. I'm well aware of environmental risks associated with dogs and cats. I'm overly cautious about windows, especially in NYC with cats. In addition, I'm responsible with the environment that either puppies or kittens occupy; to not leave food around or small objects/threads that they may mistakenly ingest.
