“Bryndon was terrific with Rome. We needed a new sitter for a 5 day, 4 night stay and Bryndon took the time to get to know Rome beforehand, asked excellent questions in preparation (as well as answering all of my questions), and handled Rome’s separation anxiety with being away from us flexibly and creatively so this was relieved quickly. Bryndon also communicated clearly and was entirely receptive to feedback. By the end of the stay when we picked Rome up, I could tell they had formed a bond and Rome has a new buddy in the nearby neighborhood. I’m so glad we met Bryndon. His jokes and updates on Rome were amazing , especially since I love humor and silly puns. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Bryndon for drop-ins, walks and future stays.”


“Lorena is a wonderful pet sitter, she took care of our new puppy. She alleviated any worries that new puppy parents have. Lorena was very responsive while she took care of our puppy: she gave us daily updates along side pictures and videos. Our puppy looked like he had such a fun time!”


“Andrew was great with our dog Buzz. He kept us updated with pictures and videos and even gave our pup some training lessons during his 3 days stay. Would definitely book again, for boarding or even daily.”


“The Best Dog Sitter Ever! I can’t say enough good things about Keka! From the moment we met, I knew my dogs was in great hands. She went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt comfortable, loved, and well-cared-for while I was away. I got regular updates, and adorable photos, that showed just how much she truly cares. When I came home, my dogs were happy, and relaxed. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely kind who will treat your pet like family, look no further. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly, highly recommended!”


“Wan and her husband were so kind and loving to my dog Sandy. They have a large fenced in back yard for playing and bathroom breaks. Wan's dog George is very friendly and made Sandy feel welcomed. I will definitely trust Wan to watch Sandy in the future. I highly recommend Wan.”



“John was great - Extremely responsive and kept me updated while my dog Ollie stayed with him. I gave so many instructions because Ollie has separation anxiety and John took them all very well. When I got Ollie back he was so calm and relaxed because John took such good care of him!”


“Our pup Leo had a great stay with Amy. It was our first time leaving Leo with a sitter while we were out of town so we were a bit anxious. Amy sent photos twice daily from their walks in the morning and at night, which helped put us at ease and were greatly appreciated. She was also very responsive to all of our messages. Thanks again Amy!”


“Susan took great care of Indy while I was away. I received frequent updates which helped keep me at ease while I was out of town. Susan was very diligent getting Indy’s food/ outside routine down. Thank you, Susan!”



“Lola was very happy at Saylor's. She made friends and came home calm and rested. Saylor sent me pictures of her and was very responsive and accommodating. He's a pro!”


“Angelica took great care of Kora again!! Kora wasn't eating in the morning and Angelica hand fed her until she started to eat on her own, thankful Angelica is this caring of the pets she sits for. Thank you Angelica”



“Amazing service for our two pups! Iliana sent pics everyday and even taught them to use a new leash to make it easy to walk 2 dogs at a time. Super accommodating and worked with me when there was a delay at jfk and I had to pick up later than expected.”


“Lauren was great with Rupert. She sent multiple pictures and videos during his stay. Her dog Lila seemed like a perfect play match. See you around the neighborhood. Thanks again for accommodating on short notice! A+”

“Vivian and her husband were wonderful; they were flexible, sent frequent updates and photos, took our Pip to the park/walks and generally cared for him very well. This was our first time boarding with them and we’ll certainly be coming back!”


“Heather was amazing! I was very nervous at first with leaving my dog over night with anyone but she made Asher feel at home and that was very comforting. She kept me updated through the day with pictures and videos and was very responsive with all my questions. I will definitely be reaching out to Heather for the future. One more thing, Asher gained a friend (Luna)!! This was a plus!!!”


“Sara is a hardworking, caring, responsible individual who took great care of my puppy. She gave my five months old puppy her full and undivided attention. She asked about our routines and kept to them. She gave my puppy plenty of exercise, love, attention and the puppy was never left alone. She sent updates and pictures. I would very much recommend Sara”


“Lauren was awesome and patient with our lovable giant GSD. She was so patient and listen to all of the details concerning his care. She was also very observant, and gave us good advice on further care. We highly recommend her to anyone.”


“Anna was Bleecker’s first dog-sitter ever, and she made the experience for both of us a breeze! She was actively updating and sending me photos of him throughout the day, which gave me a peace of mind considering it was Bleecker’s first time with a dog-sitter. I highly recommend Anna!”
