“Elizabeth was fantastic with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We returned from our trip and found our animals were happy and well cared for. Elizabeth went above and beyond and made sure our dogs had comfort during fireworks which typically cause them to have high anxiety. I’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Beth was fantastic. Sent great updates (even when my cat was being skittish) and made last minute extra drop ins for my cat when we got delayed getting home. Very friendly and communicative.”
“Mary was amazing! She was professional, accommodating, and thorough. She was patient and thoughtful about addressing each my pets’ needs. Mary was clearly experienced in dealing with dogs with shy/fearful personalities and did really well with my dog (a rescue) who can be challenging to dog-sit. She was incredibly kind and treated my pets as if they were her own. I felt so comfortable leaving my pets in her care, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t have been happier with the pet care service that Mary provided! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much for caring for our baby boy while we are gone. We have such peace of mind knowing you are visiting him each day and we love our photos we get. Again, thank you!!!”

“Emma was extremely reliable and communicative. She let Leo express his needs (play, cuddling, chilling) and gave him the attention and time he needed. Her updates and pics let me know my cat was in good hands. I would highly recommend Emma for your cat sitting needs!”

About: Who better than a veterinarian to take care of your best buddies while you're away? I am a new DVM graduate, and am happy to take care of your pets, no matter how old or young, especially those with special needs! I am certified in dog/cat CPR, and am comfortable providing any care needed. *Please note*: My providing pet sitting/dog walking/pet care services does NOT constitute a VCPR, and I cannot provide medical advice unless a VCPR is explicitly established in accordance with NY State Law* I prefer to stay in the client's home especially for dogs as this is generally much more comfortable for the dog to stay in their own environment. For overnight stays, I like to meet the dogs beforehand with owners present. This way they are assured it is okay to have me in their space for staying with them.
“Venita was so amazing! She did a drop in and my pup was sick. She cleaned up his crate and played with him. She communicated well throughout everything. She even stayed later when asked, which I appreciated immensely! She sent photos of my pup as well, which was great. Will definitely book her again.”

My schedule is extremely flexible, even with short notice. And I love pets of all types of sizes. While I do not currently have pets of my own, I lived as both a kid and adult with both dogs and cats. I'll keep them safe and shower them with love!

John G.
“I have known John for about 18 years now. In that time he has shown the utmost respect towards animals from caring for his own personal pets to helping the hurt animal on the side of the road. John is a hard worker and will be able to see any project through to completion. He would quickly become a top worker in your organization and would show his care for animals through his work.”

Aaron F.
“Aaron is one of the most kind, gentle souls I’ve ever met. I’ve known him for over 22 years, and I can confidently say there are few in this world I trust more than him. Every animal I’ve ever seen him with, including my own dog, is both safe and loved in his presence. I never let anyone other than my mother watch my dog, but if I needed to, I’d hand her to him without a second thought. He’s trustworthy and dependable in ways most could never achieve. I couldn’t possibly recommend him more to care for anyone’s pets. He is a diamond in the rough, and your pets will always be in great hands.”
