“Wow! What an exceptional experience. Melanie was so lovely and attentive. Our large breed dog Jerome had major surgery so we reserved Melanie months in advance for Thanksgiving travel. She was super accommodating, visited Jerome prior to the reservation and invited us to visit her home to assure us he’d be in a secure space as he continued his healing. She regularly sent adorable photos of Jerome to show us he was content. Melanie is a GREAT caregiver, not just a dog sitter. She’ll always be our first choice in the future.”
“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”
“Laura and Daniel went above and beyond in making sure my kitten had a great stay. I’m a new cat mom and was nervous to leave him behind but I felt at ease and they made sure to send updates throughout his stay. Very accommodating of schedule too. I would highly recommend them!”
“I am so happy to have found Jenny and Geoff! They took wonderful care of my 75-lb dog, Sawyer. After checking to make sure that he’d enjoy it, they gave him lots of play time with their kids and other dogs and treated him to multiple trips to the dog park. He started to show signs of an ear infection the day before I had to drop him off, and they were so kind about cleaning his ears twice a day. And they sent me daily photos and videos of him playing and cuddling. I was pretty sure that he wouldn’t want to come home again! Highly recommend!!”
“Nicolle and Ronaldo provided excellent care for my puppy Pecan during my time away. They kept him active and engaged with plenty of walks, playtime, and even dog park visits with their dog, Luna. It was great to see my pup had company and socialization. The updates were detailed and frequent, and it was clear Pecan was happy and well-cared for. I'd happily book them again!”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“I highly recommend Jaina as a dog boarder. She truly understands dogs and spent plenty of time playing with them. Jaina is conscientious, tidy, and very responsive. Very grateful she was able to take care of my dogs.”
“This family took care of my pup as their own. I could feel the love through the ton of pictures that Katherine would send me daily. Totally will use them again. ❤️ Thank you!”
“She was extremely patient and kind. I’m a new time pet mom and I had a lot’s of anxiety about leaving my 8 months old Cockapoo. She made me feel super secure and her communication was beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
“Jessie stayed with Tynesha and her family for four days. This was the first time she stayed with someone other than a family member. She sent me photos everyday and I could see that Jessie was happy and bring well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”
“Lifu was great with Lily, seems Lily had a good time staying over with her. Very good communication and punctual on drop off and pick up times, would recommend to other dog parents!”
“Darien is everything we could ask for in a dog sitter. Our dogs always have so much fun from playing in their big, clean backyard and receive a lot of love from Darien and her family. After a fun day, my dogs always end their day sleeping peacefully and comfortably. Darien also somehow magically makes my dogs even more behaved than ever, and they always come home refreshed and happy. The dogs have deemed Darien’s home as their favorite vacation destination, and will always trust Darien with my dogs any time!”
“Ekaterina and her family were amazing with our puppy. Lots of pictures and communication during the stay. She took excellent care of the puppy and puppy clearly enjoyed her visit. We would highly recommend Ekaterina and would love to have to watch our puppy again.”
About: I am patient and will let your dog sniff around all they want. I am caring and will ensure the path your dog is walking on is safe for their paws. And I am energetic, leaving your dog tired when they come home. I will care for your dog by keeping them on a leash and bringing water for when they get thirsty. With your cat, I will first let them sniff me and warm up to me. They’ll soon cuddle up to me. I am available most days before 9am, at lunchtime (between 12pm and 2pm) and after 5pm. For house visits, I am able to stay either all day or all night and pop during the day for mealtimes/potty breaks. While in your home, I am mindful of your space and will follow your instructions. For boarding visits, I live near a park and can take your pet out 3-4 times a day. Unfortunately while I understand everyone’s needs/customs are different, I do no accept dogs that either use an indoor doggy potty or are not house trained.
“I was a bit skeptical using Rover, and a bit nervous to leave Dilon. Paloma explained the process and was very helpful. I loved that Dilon stayed in good hands and I was able to have peace of mind. Paloma kept me informed of Dilon’s day to day, she would answer promptly to the messages and would also send pictures regularly. Thank you again for taking good care of Dilon.”
“Here's a shorter version: --- I recently booked Angela for two nights, and I'm thrilled with the care my dog received. Angela provided regular updates with photos and videos, ensuring my peace of mind. My shy dog quickly warmed up to them, and all his dietary and exercise needs were perfectly met. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house. Highly recommend Angela for reliable and loving pet care.”
“Alyssa is the best! She knows how to communicate very well. She is so loving and caring. She made me feel so comfortable to leave my baby with her and her beautiful family. Definitely going to be a returning customer.”

Manuel was wonderful with Sharky, our maltipoo puppy. We’d already booked a trip before the chance to adopt her came along, which meant leaving her with a sitter just two weeks after bringing her home. We were sad to leave her, especially so soon after her arrival. Manuel was kind and patient, and he put us completely at ease. He sent daily updates, photos, and videos throughout the week. We absolutely recommend him!
We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog Gigi received! Gigi is a micro American Bulldog, and this was the second time she stayed with them. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. They were attentive, communicative, and genuinely cared about making sure Gigi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Gigi came home relaxed, healthy, and clearly loved during her stay. It’s not always easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but they exceeded our expectations both times. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such amazing care of Gigi—we will definitely be booking with you again! 🐾❤️
Jennifer was super sweet and very communicative throughout the boarding experience. Our schedule kept changing and she was very patient and accommodating. Pepper returned to us happy and even smelling lovely!! This was our first boarding away from home and we are delighted it went so well. Thank you Jennifer!
Maryn and Steven took such good care of Bo! They went above and beyond caring for him since he was have some digestive issues that popped up. Maryn has lots of patience and her care reassured me he was in good hands. Lots of photos and updates. Highly recommend Maryn!
Neide is the only person I’ve trusted with my dog Champ ever since we moved to NJ. She’s amazing - very attentive, caring and great at communicating. I never worry about him when he’s with Neide and he always looks so happy to see her and happy on all the photos and videos she sends me during his stay. I couldn’t recommend Neide more!
Another excellent stay with Maisha. Bentley always has a great experience and enjoys playing and making new friends. She provides excellent care and keeps me consistently updated with photos, which I truly appreciate. I also value the way she treats Bentley with the same care and attention as her own. Thank you again!
Trust me, the reviews don’t lie! Nima was absolutely amazing watching my cat while I was away. She was very communicative, sent daily pictures and videos, and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me such peace of mind during my vacation. My cat looked like he was having the best time of his 9 lives with her and came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I will absolutely book with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive with their pets. Thank you so much, Nima! You are truly wonderful.
I boarded my dogs with Lindsey for 2 weeks and she is amazing! Both of my dogs got comfortable quickly with her, they were comfortable with her cats and dog. She gave me updates on my dogs throughout the time and also pictures which I really appreciated. I didn’t have to worry or anything the dogs were great with her and I would have her again watch the dogs in the future. She is responsive, caring to the dogs, gives updates/ pictures, very flexible with drop off and pick up times, I highly recommend Lindsey.
From the second we met Joni I knew our dog Poppy would be in great hands. Poppy immediately felt comfortable with Joni and didn't even look back as we walked away during the drop off. Joni was in touch with us with pictures and messages about what Poppy was up to several times a day. We would recommend Joni to anyone who is looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter. Thank you Joni!!!!!
I recently booked with Jamin, and I can honestly say it felt like a true blessing. I’ve been raving about this experience to anyone who will listen! For the first time ever, I was able to go on vacation without constantly worrying about my dog—and that peace of mind is priceless. Jamin went above and beyond, keeping me updated with plenty of videos and pictures, which made it so clear that my dog was not only safe but genuinely happy and well cared for. His attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism truly set him apart. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your furry family member, Jamin is simply the best dog sitter you could ask for. Thank you again, Jamin—I’ll absolutely be booking with you again!
Danielle was absolutely excellent! She was very communicative from start to finish and made the entire experience stress-free. I really appreciated the regular updates—she kept me informed and sent messages that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was in great hands and being well cared for. If you’re considering booking with Danielle, don’t think twice—just book! Highly recommend her services.
