“Nathalia took amazing care of my puppy! She sent me updates during her visit. I can tell she genuinely cares for dogs and look forward to booking her again!”
2. Melissa R.
“Melissa was so sweet to our cat Hazel whom immediately took to her. Our road flooded and was closed due to a downed tree and she still came to feed her! I literally can't imagine someone nicer and more responsible.”

About: Experienced in overnight and drop-in pet sitting since 2021, I am an animal lover who is happy to care for your beloved furry and feathered friends. I work school hours (8-3:15) in Manhattan on most weekdays, so I am available for drop-ins after work. On weekends, I am often available to drop ins or overnight shifts. I will follow your instructions and your pets’ routines for feedings, playtime, walks, and medication administration if necessary. I prioritize the wellbeing and comfort of your pets as well as your peace of mind that your furry friends are in good hands.
6. Anya G. S.
“I was so thrilled to have found anya. My previous pet sitter was no longer available, so I picked Anya to help us out when we went on our vacation. we have 2 dogs and 3 cats. Actually 7 cats if you count the 3 ferals we feed outside. The 2 dogs are seniors with special needs and medication regimens. Anya came to meet everybody and they all liked her right away which I knew was a good sign. she took notes about what to do and I could tell she really cared. When we first left, I was nervous, but she sent pictures and updates which was reassuring and helped us enjoy our vacation without worry. she was even able to pet the 2 kitties who are nervous and normally hide! when we returned, everyone was healthy and happy. I could tell that they were loved and cared for while we were away. She kept the house clean, she communicated well, everything you want in an excellent pet sitter. I will be using her for all my pet care needs in the future, hoping that she will be available!!!”
7. Kyra M.
“Kyra already looks after our dogs with walks. Now Kyra has met our two cats as well. Kyra is reliable and does a great job. We've just come home and the cats are chilled and their usual selves. Thanks Kyra.”
8. Karin F.
“I'm so glad we found Karin! She went above and beyond for our cats during her drop-in visits when we were away. She also brought in packages without us asking and cleaned up after the big messes our kitten made. She also administered our older cat's anxiety medication. This cat has severe anxiety and trusts no one besides me and my husband but during the last few visits, our cat actually approached Karin, which is basically unheard of!”
9. Kelly N.
“Excellent! Helped me out very last minute and followed my very annoying specific instructions to a T. Definitely recommend”
10. Cinthia Marlenny L.
“I cannot say enough good things about Cinthia. Even from offering to come over and meet my girl ahead of the visit, I knew she genuinely cared about making sure we felt comfortable. She was extremely communicative and took every direction (and they are specific :) I had so many adorable photos and sweet videos and my dog was still happy when I got home. I will definitely book Cinthia again and strongly suggest others do the same.”
11. Alyssa P.
“She is an amazing care taker for your pups! I love the way she is with my milo! He never goes with anyone but for some reason he is very attached and I can just drop him right off at her door steps and he will go! I’ve had her watch him for a week as I was on vacation and they grew a huge bond! She sends photos and always answers the phone when I wondered how my little guy was doing!”
12. Sergio C.
“We had the pleasure of having Sergio drop in to play with our dog, Xena, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment he arrived, it was clear that he has a genuine love for animals. Xena absolutely adored him and had a fantastic time playing and exploring!”
13. amanda c.
“Amanda is the best. My golden retriever Duke is full of energy and not fond of many people. But whenever he sees Amanda he gets so excited and runs to her. She really knows how to make him feel loved and me feel safe about him being in good hands.”
14. Christina O.
“Christina was incredibly sweet, communicative, detail oriented, and super caring towards my Malio. She went above and beyond taking care of my cat and was so excited to do so. I would recommend her to anyone for their pet sitting needs and can’t wait to have her watch my boy again!”
15. Jamie-Ann P.
“Jamie-Ann is the bee’s knees! She took such good care of Chalupa and sent lots of photos and videos. When my flight was cancelled, she stopped in last minute to feed my boy. Thank you!!”
16. Ariel L.
“Ariel was so attentive and did the best job watching my two dogs! My girls are my life so it’s hard for me to leave them with anyone, not to mention this was my first time using rover, but I felt so comfortable with Ariel and knew they would be well taken care of! Thank you again Ariel, I will definitely be rebooking soon! :)”
17. Halyna K.
“Very reliable and always great service! Our kitties seem to love her.”

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

“Amir cares for my 2 dogs while I’m at work! He’s amazing with Pets and very caring & loving to any pet! Perfect person for the job!!! My 2 dogs love him dearly and I also witness how he cares for his own dog and cat! Amir has a lot of patience with animals. He has helped me so much through the years with my dogs. He is the first person I go to for any type of pet advice! Amir, would be someone you would love & trust around your pets!.”
20. Nhi R.
“Nhi was an above and beyond sitter. She took care of our cat Amelia for a week, sent us pictures and videos, and followed all instructions with diligence. I have anxiety, so her being so communicative helped my family to truly enjoy our vacation. We travel often and will definitely book Nhi again in the future! I can’t recommend her enough.”
