First time leaving my 1 year old maltipoo at a sitter and Bhavani proved to be an excellent host. She was very responsive and accommodating with my boarding request as I had to travel out of town. She sent frequent updates with videos about Flynn which was very assuring. Highly recommend her!

Enrique is excellent! He was incredibly caring and attentive to Joey’s needs. Every day, we received updates without asking. He also proactively asked about Joey’s preferences and routine. From the wear on Joey’s nails, it’s clear that he got long and consistent walks every day! We’re so grateful for the care and attention Joey received — highly recommend!

At the last minute we needed someone to watch our furbaby. I heard abt Rover and I came across Javier’s profile. I was impressed with the reviews and his overall profile.We had a meet and greet and Button showed immediate interest. Javier’s love and care for Button exceeded every expectation. He showered us with photos and videos, gave us recommendations and great observations of Button. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND JAVIER!! I live on Staten Island and have NO PROBLEMS paying the toll and potential traffic to have someone like Javier watch Button. Book him, you will not regret the experience!

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!!!!!

Highly recommend Nancy, she sends updates everyday including pictures and videos. I was kind of worried coz Tuffy was not friendly to her when we meet up but she welcomed my dog to her home and Tuffy was able to adjust in less than a day - playing with her Bowser as well. I can never thank her enough for keeping my dog comfortable during his stay with Nancy. He even cooked vegetables as Tuffy likes to eat broccoli and gave boiled rice to helped him with his tummy issues. Would take my Tuffy again to her in my future vacations. Thanks a lot Nancy and family!

Connor did a great job with my Schnauzer Margo, who can be rather "excitable" at times. She seemed to feel at home immediately around Connor and his dog Maggie and I think she actually enjoyed her time with them. I will definitely return to Connor.

I got pictures and updates continuously and would definitely rebook if needed. Thank you again!

She provided her with such great care. And even sent text messages daily letting us know how she was. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!

Veronica was fantastic! As an outdoor cat, finding someone who could care for Juno, with safety as the first priority, but also allow her to retain her sense of freedom and independence was always going to be a tough ask. We found that with Veronica - would highly recommend! Very kind, sent us lots of photos and even got Juno some special treats and toys.

I had such a great experience with my dog sitter! They took wonderful care of my husky and made sure I felt at ease the entire time. They kept me updated regularly, sending photos and little notes about how my pup was doing. I could tell my husky was happy and well-exercised when I got back. If you need someone reliable and caring, I highly recommend them!

Caroline was amazing! So kind and friendly. Pogo went for a visit to meet the pack and on the day of his stay he was so eager for her to open the door. When she took him by his leash he walked off and never looked back. She has a large fenced in yard with plenty of grass for the dogs to run around and have a sniffing feast. Will definitely use again when I come back in town!

I am so grateful for the amazing care my dog received! I had to leave out of state unexpectedly and realized at the last minute that I had made arrangements for everyone except our family dog. Thankfully, Klainer stepped in without hesitation and made the entire experience stress-free. Klainer kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was being cared for with love, patience, and attention. I truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and professionalism. I will most definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter!

It’s our first time using Rover, and we’re so glad we found Jhajanny and her husband. They constantly kept us updated, and our cat felt at home with them right away. We could truly tell he was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. They are very trustworthy and genuinely love pets. We’re so grateful for them. 😻😽

Veronica is absolutely incredible! She took such wonderful care of Tasha and truly went above and beyond. When Tasha was feeling a bit down and lost her appetite, Veronica didn't just ignore it—she actually went out and bought special food to encourage her to eat and spent extra time cheering her up. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the happiness and health of the pups she watches. Tasha came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Veronica to anyone!

This was Milo’s second stay with Jullien, and he once again provided excellent care for him. Jullien kept us updated every day and sent us pics of Milo’s adventures, and he was once again very accommodating when our flight was delayed. We are so happy that we found Jullien. It’s so reassuring to know that your pet will be comfortable and happy while you’re away. +++++++++
