Jornelle has been watching our pups for 2-3yrs now and we (and they!) are always glad when she stays for a visit. She is reliable and caring and so sweet with our dogs. Certainly won’t be the last time she watches them!!

Great experience again with Marquis watching Braxton while I was across the country. Braxton was well cared for and he even went out of his way to buy him treats to help his stinky breath. Braxton now loves and they’ve become part of our daily routine. I will always recommend Marquis!

Jessica is a total gem! She is a great doggie babysitter, an excellent housesitter and the perfect houseguest. We cannot recommend her highly enough! We have had a wonderful dog caregiver who has looked after our babies for many, many years, but she cannot stay at our house while we are gone and the only dog we have now cannot stay at her house because he is not cat-friendly. A friend who had promised to stay was unable to come at almost the last minute, so we had to find someone new to house and dogsit. Our dog fell in love with Jessica; she treated him like the prince he believes himself to be and sent us photos and reports each day, showing his happiness. Even though we had to engage her on short notice, she came to meet our four-legged baby and help him get to know her and adjust to her in advance of her stay. She so understands how dogs think, how they behave and what they want and need that she made a great companion for him in our absence. Her knowledge of dog training techniques, her intuition and her love of dogs made her the ideal caregiver for our challenging pup. She even unpacked and organized the contents of packages we had delivered that included dog supplies and left the house in perfect order. And we like and trust her as much as our dog does. Having found her, we feel secure about planning future trips and will check Jessica's availability and book her before we schedule our travel. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jessica. Thank you, Rover.com.

Ariel is fantastic! Had peace of mind leaving my dog with her. My dog absolutely loved staying with her! Received daily pictures and had efficient communication. She gave frequent walks and went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home and comfortable! She also made sure to follow my dog’s feeding and walking schedule. Highly recommend, you won’t regret it!

In reviewing Victoria, I would like to say how responsible, professional and caring she was for our puppies! She was sure to have all the instructions down before we left, even coming the day before for a walk through, which was VERY much appreciated! She was seamless able to deal with the house, dogs and when there was a question, she was able to articulate it perfectly through the exact right cadence of communication!!  Most importantly, it was clear she not only took care of the dogs, but genuinely was happy to have the furry companionship - I would highly recommend Victoria for any drop in OR extended stay sitting and we will 100% use her again!

About: Hi! Thanks for stopping by to check out my profile. I love animals of all kinds. I’ve had dogs and cats, as pets, my entire life. In my 20s, I took up volunteer, foster and rescue work with cats and dogs. I’ve been told I have a very calming and soothing effect on little ones that aren’t feeling well or have anxiety concerns. I’ve trained several of my own pets - dogs and cats - and I’ve taken several courses on animal behavior and training. I don’t pet sit as a “side hustle.” If I spend time with your cute kitty or your pawsome pup, it’s because animals bring me great joy. I want to do the same for your furry little one. Do what you need to do. Your little one will be safe, sound and pampered with me. I'm available for boarding, daycare, or training, for dogs or cats, in my home or yours. Let's do a meet and greet and get to know each other. I live in my own house, in Harrison, just a short train ride away from NYC. The door to my living room opens up to my safe and private backyard. It’s ideal for the puppy that just can’t wait to get outside. Because it’s just me, you can rest assured that your baby will get the undivided, one on one attention that they deserve. They will be spoiled, As they should be. I’m available to care for your baby in my home, or in yours. Do you have a training issue that you need help with? Let’s meet!

She is my absolute go to when it comes to trusting someone to take care of my pets when I am away. Shes prompt, takes her time with my little ones, and is very good at communicating anything that needs my attention. I’ve recommend her to countless friends and families for their own pet sitting needs. She is a very kind person who loves all kinds of animals. Between walking my dogs, feeding my cats, or even overseeing my fish she has never let me down!

About: I started doing this for a friend that was going on vacation. I spoil Molly & treat her like I want mine to be care. I do this as a part time, I work from home, have my own routine. Like to be call three days in advance before you need my service. I don’t bring pet to my house, I believe is better not taking them out of their homes. I always treat them great. They are my baby pets.

Pet care is a priority in my daily routine, with specific time slots allocated for feeding, exercise, and playtime.

Additionally, I make sure to accommodate any special needs or requirements that pets may have, ensuring they feel loved and cared for throughout the day. my client's home, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for pets are paramount.

Nicole was the first pet sitter I ever used, and I couldn't have asked for a better person. She was professional, highly communicative, and adept at caring for my senior rabbit and cats. My senior rabbit required medication throughout, which she managed well. It was reassuring to have Nicole there for my pets, and her evident love for animals and experience shone through. Amazing Housesitting! I would highly recommend her with a 10/10 rating.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little, always giving them special 1 on 1 care and lots of love! I do believe I have a special way with animals, especially dogs. I get along with them all and I always try my best to make sure their needs are met and they feel loved and taken care of. I am a full time graduate student at a nearby university so I am not working and have a lot of free time. I am pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of your pup as long as I am given notice. I like to not waste my client's time and I would like the same respect given to me. I am always mindful of each pup's personality and quirks and am wary about other dogs being there. I will always just take care of your pup 1 on 1 or one pack (household of pets) at a time.

It was our first time leaving our dog for a house sitting service, and Marli went above and beyond to make sure Halo and we were comfortable. She was super communicative during our time away, sent me many pictures and updates of Halo, and was super respectful of our home and all the notes we left for Halo’s care. We appreciate Marli and will definitely continue to use her when we can in the future. Thank you, Marli!

About: I have professional experience working with dogs in a day care establishment. I have experience with dogs of all sizes of many breeds. I can do feedings, administer medication, and can give baths! I am CPR/First Aid certified for Dogs/Cats. I am a Dog Trainer in-training so I am always practicing engagement with dogs during walks and loose-leash handling exercises. I love to work on a dog’s resilience in our everyday world through positive reinforcement. I am currently working full time, thus I mostly have availability in the morning for early morning walks. I am available to plan ahead if asked with time. In a client’s home, I am able to provide enrichment and safety for the dog. I am on top of gate management and making sure the dog is never where they’re not supposed to be. I can offer training and enrichment during walks but also during boarding stays so that they are working on their skills while in my care.
