Bravo”

“We hired Alex at the last-minute and we couldn't be more happy with the person we found and the care our pets received. She was prompt, thorough, and - most importantly - loving with our animals.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life including 4 dogs of my own, local neighbors dogs and overnight care and drop ins for my friends dogs My schedule is fully open to stop by and take care of your dogs. I can do drop ins, take your dog to the park, and take them for short or long walks. I will care for your dog like they are my own. Lots of love, lots of walks, and lots of attention. Dogs deserve the world.

“Joshua takes such good care of Layla! She’s high energy and strong on a leash and Joshua handles her with ease. She was happy and a good tired after her walk!”

“Lindsey is the BEST! She watched our cat and dog when we went away for a long weekend on such short notice. And she is very fairly priced and super responsive. She was able to come the day before so I could show her around. And she listened to everything I said, asked questions, and the pets loved her! She did a great job and went absolutely above and beyond! The amazing pics she took of our animals every visit was an added bonus to make us feel confident that we were in great hands. Do not hesitate to hire Lindsey to watch your pets! It’s always nerve wrecking to have someone watch your pets while you’re away. But you are in the best hands with Lindsey!! We will definitely use her again!”

“Mellony was a perfect cat sitter for our cats while we were away for a week. She took great care of our two cats by feeding them, cleaning up after them, and making sure everything was in order. We originally book one 30-minute visit per day, but Mellony generously offered to come twice a day for 15 minutes each visit so that both cats would get extra attention-without changing any additional fee. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in such caring and reliable hands. I highly recommend Mellony and would definitely give her 5stat rating for her outstanding service! Thank you Mellony!!”

“Ashley is amazing. I was leaving for a 2 week trip when my auto pet feeder lost connection to the WiFi meaning it wouldn’t dispense food regularly. She came over as an added visit and reconnected the feeder so my pets would get their food. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip after everything was up and running again and knowing my furbabies were in great hands.”

“Sabrina worked out beautifully for taking care of our indoor cat and feeding the stray who appears every day. Sabrina is responsible and kind. I feel comfortable with the care provided and Dori seemed very calm while we were gone and when we got home. We have already booked Sabrina for our two-week trip to Maine.”

About: With a lifelong passion for animal care, I bring years of hands-on experience to every pet I look after. From raising family pets and fostering animals in need — including those with medical requirements — to volunteering at local animal shelters and working summers at a pet boarding and grooming salon, I've developed a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. My commitment is simple: your pets will be safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. As a homebody at heart, I've found that my quiet days leave plenty of room to open my home and heart to more animal companionship. I'm looking for meaningful ways to fill my time, and connecting with new pets feels like the perfect fit. I also have a dog of my own who is wonderful with other animals — he'd love nothing more than making new furry friends, and I know he'll bring extra joy and companionship to any pet in our care. While I don't currently have a yard, that's something I'm looking forward to adding in the future. For added peace of mind, I have security cameras throughout my home so I'm always aware of what's happening. I live alone with two well-behaved, trained pets, and I'm rarely away — whether at home or just around the corner, your pets will always be close by and never left alone for long.

“Open and honest communication. I really appreciated the prompt responses and reliability. Brandi will most likely be my go to cat sitter person in the near future.”

“Angela is great with dogs. My puppy loved her. She took her on a walk and Rocky did great. Angela was on time and personable and she is a natural around dogs. And she is such a nice person too. Highly recommend her.”

“Rebecca did a great job with my kiddos. Even though they have many quirks and require a lot of time , she took her time make sure that everyone was taken care of. I would hire her again.”

“Lauren was great with our nervous rescue,”

Jennifer H.

“Giana was great! She took care of our two pups for 3 days while we were out of town and was great with communication. One of our dogs is more skittish and people shy and Giana was very patient and willing to try all the tricks to get her outside. I would book Giana again!”

Nikki D.

“Brady did an excellent job caring for our pets while we were away. I was a little nervous leaving them since we recently moved and our German Shepherd Dog recently tore her CCL and this was their first visits with Brady. We had nothing to be concerned about though as Brady was so attentive and careful. She kept us in the loop with detailed reports, lots of photos and spent extra time giving love and attention to both our dog and our cat. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

Colleen D.

“James was very attentive to all of our pups needs. He was also very flexible as some of our plans had changed on the fly. He was patient (Cash can be skittish) and made sure he was well taken care of. We would recommend James for any pet care needs!”

John R.

“Claire wrote wonderful, descriptive accounts and provided cute, distinctive photos of her 5 1/2 days with our one-year-old cat Dori. Even through the pictures we could tell that Dori was comfortable and relaxed. We just got home and see that she is calm and happy. We'll definitely use Claire again -- and soon!”

About: I've fed dogs based off their schedules that their owner informs me, walks with them, sometimes runs so they can get some more exercise. I am not a trainer, but I will give them attention and I love to follow the rules. I work full time in New York, so my availability can vary. I'm looking for a flexible schedule, sometimes can be steady in the weekday, depending on the month. I have a townhouse in Mill Hill area, and a park which is at the end of the block. I live by myself so I do not have housemates. I do not have a large yard, but I do dog sit for my best friend in New York at least once every other month.
