1. Pearl A.

“Pearl was great with Mocha Kai. He was so happy and enjoyed his time. Pearl sent great photos of their time together. I will definitely use Pearl again in the future”


2. Nerissa K.
“Nerissa is a kind, patient, and very respectful caregiver not only to pets but to people as well. She is a very skilled person when it comes to patience with all animal types. The energy that she gives off makes animals enjoy being in her presence and I’ve known Nerissa for years and I’ve recommended her not only as a pet sitter but as a babysitter as well because she is able to flex and multi-task when it comes to the wellbeing of both animals and people.”

9. Ariel R.
“Ariel is amazing with both my girls so far! Today was our first meeting so we combined a meet and greet with a neighborhood walk. I was able to discuss in detail about what triggers my sweet but reactive dogs have and Ariel’s shared her knowledge and experience with me as well. Taking over the leashes from me as I walked I could see how careful and conscientious she is! It’s evident that Ariel loves dogs and I am so excited that she will be working with us! And my dogs are over the moon about it!”

11. Regina K.

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Regina K. as a pet sitter for my cat, Layla, while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Regina followed all of the instructions I left for her perfectly and took great care of Layla during each home visit. She was very nice and pleasant to communicate with, which made me feel at ease while I was away. Regina made sure Layla had her treats, wet food, and fresh water, cleaned the litter box thoroughly, and even spent time playing with her—something that meant a lot to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Layla’s well-being and comfort. I really appreciate Regina’s help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Regina!”

16. Nadja S.
“Nadja took great care of my two cats, Moo and Meew, while i was away on a week-long business trip. she made sure to check in on them, had fresh water and that they had enough dry food, then fed them their wet food as needed. She sent me pictures of my cats, easing my anxiety that they wouldn't survive without me...and made sure she spent time playing with them. It took a load off knowing that my cats were happy, well cared for and spoiled by someone who loves pets as much as our family does.”


17. Kayla W.
“To whom it may concern, I would be honored to recommend Kayla Williams as an extremely dedicated and caring pet care giver. Within her household, Kayla has experience taking care of her dog Bowser. Not only is she attentive to his needs and wants in ways beyond the foundational norm, but the love she has for her dog comes to no surprise to those around, as it is truly proven through her actions. With this in mind, I believe that her home would make a great abode for pet sitting. Kayla is also a current grad-school student and works full time as a health inspector for NYS. Despite this, she has a flexible schedule allowing her to still provide an ample amount of time to your beloved pets. Prior to entering grad school, Kayla graduated with a degree in Biology, causing her to take courses directly related to the anatomy of animals. This additional knowledge of the genetic makeup of certain species (pets included) and what they need to survive adds to my testament of how amazing of a petsitter she can be. She not only has experience working with pets, but has taken classes that can assist in how she cares for your pets specifically. I genuinely have no worries or doubts that Kayla will be the best caregiver for your pets. If you are looking for someone that you can trust to give you peace of mind and handle your pet with care, look no further!”


18. Eli W.
“Eli is kind, loving and thoughtful. They are meticulous with their work to ensure the pets are given the utmost care while following the wishes of their owners. Eli has taken care of my dogs multiple times and is the best choice when I need a dog sitter. I highly recommend their services.”


19. Arianna A.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Arianna as a pet caretaker. Arianna grew up caring for her grandfathers pets out in the country. She became a person who understands animals and treats them with love and patience as she did her own. Arianna has a warm and welcoming hand for any pet. She is meticulous and pays attention to minor things about a pet that may be important to their owner(s). She would definitely keep you in the loop about your pet’s wellbeing or behaviors outside the norm. Arianna will be an outstanding caretaker for your pet without a doubt.”


20. Mihir S.
About: I am very friendly with dogs, caring, understanding and patient. I completely oppose animal abuse and cruelty. My dog is a 1 year old rescue, I had picked him up when he was 2 months from North Shore Animal League. I socialized him to where he is friendly to other dogs and also gives space to the other dog or puppy. I can take dogs to a friendly dog park. I am available after 2pm mon-fri and all day on Saturday and Sunday. I am a careful and watchful owner. I am careful of them eating garbage off the sidewalk, running off or getting into a fight with another dog. I have experience so I am fully prepared. Thank you and I look forward to work with your pups!! Pet care will fit into my schedule according to the clients needs. I will be able to be flexible and assist the dog and client as needed. I usually ensure the pet is tired by the time they do return home so they can decompress and relax. Additionally with other services like bathes or dinner, breakfast or lunch.
