“Veronique took such great care of my pup! He had the absolute best time. She really treated him like a little prince. There were so many adorable pic and video updates of him playing, socializing with her dogs, lounging around comfortably and being pampered. I highly recommend her if you want the best care for your dog.”
2. Joanne B.
“Joanne was very accommodating for our puppy who is full of energy, she sent frequent updates and pictures of him playing and then napping from all the fun he had under her care.”
3. Teresa P.
“I have never left my 12 year old dog who needs medical care with anyone but family, but my son was getting married out of town and I had no choice. I am so happy and relieved to have found Teresa. She took excellent care of her and sent pictures and updates so I could have a worry free time.”

6. Amber O.
“Everything went as planned, pre-trip meet up, pictures with updates each day, my puppy came home happy as can be and now has a few more doggy friends.”
7. Daniel S.
“Thanks again for making our vacation enjoyable because we knew Bentley was having his own fun and being well taken care of by Dan and Denise . On our return home to Laguardia we were delayed a few hours - SURPRISE! So when we contacted Dan to let him know we would be later to pick up Bentley, they not only said "don't worry" they offered to drop Bentley home to save us a trip. The pics and videos throughout the week showing all the dogs playing and getting along were great. I wish I could give more stars. Thanks again for a great experience.”
8. Thomas & Lauren O.
“Thomas and Lauren took great care of my pup! He was happy and exercised when I picked him up! And they were so understanding and flexible when my flight was delayed. Highly recommend!”
9. Vanessa M.
“Literally a staycation for our pup. Vanessa went above and beyond with everything !! We received pics and updates daily which put us at ease on vacation. A real home away from home for any dog lucky enough to get time with their family!”
10. Denise I.
“Denise took excellent care of our little fur baby. At first, we were worried because he had never stayed with her, nor met her. Our regular sitter was not available and we had to find someone else at the last minute. When we came across Denise’s profile we felt confident that she would be perfect. So glad we found her as she took the best care of him, and he came home very happy and healthy. We are very grateful to Denise for keeping us posted and updated with messages and photos. Wishing her continued success in caring for fur baby families. We will certainly be reaching out again should the need arise!! Thank you, grateful and happy.”
11. Jamie G.
“Jamie is so wonderful! My puppy Penelope had a wonderful stay with Jamie. We are grateful to have found her! Thanks so much our girl will be back!”
12. Erin B.
“Erin was great! Her family had xena feel so loved and welcome with no issues during her stay. Great communication and overall competency with my pup, will stay again!”
13. Gabby G.
“Gabby took great care of Sodo and he seems to have really enjoyed his stay. While she may have several dogs at once boarding, there is plenty of room and she is conscientious about making sure all interactions among the dogs are positive. She sent pictures and daily updates and treated Sodo as one of her own dogs. Her large, fenced backyard was ideal for Sodo as well. Would definitely use Gabby again should the opportunity arise.”
14. Paula & James W.
“Paula and James were above and beyond amazing with our Teddy. We were able to enjoy our family time and have peace of mind that our dog was being treated as part of the family! They sent pics and updates every day. Even took him for a walk! I would trust them with him a million times over !”
15. Debra Z.
“Thank you so much. Debra was very accommodating to watch my two dogs. She sent pictures and communicated with me to make me feel comfortable. Would recommend she was very loving to my pups!”
16. Eliana A.
“I was traveling to Long Island from out of state last minute, and the people we were visiting did not allow dogs in their house. I admit, I was extremely nervous to leave Mambo with someone I didn’t know. At the end of Mambo’s stay, I was extremely jealous that my dog was not paying attention to me and just wanted to be with Eliana, haha. His reaction speaks to how well he was treated and all the attention he was given. Eliana and her husband were extremely flexible with our schedule (we drove 6 hrs from Virginia and arrived super late), constantly shared pictures of mambo and were ok with us picking him up for a few hrs in the middle of the day and then dropping him off. They have a HUGE and FENCED backyard, in which Mambo loves to run. You can tell Eliana loves dogs and that she cares about them. I’m already referring her to friends in the area, and will definitely reach out to her the next time Mambo and I visit Long Island.”
17. Donna H.
“Donna is a wonderful PetSitter! Our dog, Frankie, absolutely loved her and her family. They truly made him feel like he was home, to the point he misses them now! He cannot wait to see them again, and we will definitely be booking with Donna in the future! She kept us updated while we were away, and truly catered to our pups needs. Frankie really was in a home away from home!”
18. Catherine P.
“Lovely pet sitter. I felt very comfortable leaving my 14 yr old Cocker Spaniel with Catherine. Her other small doggies were good company! Highly recommend.”
19. Jodie J.
“Aunt Jodie was available very last minute for our pup and was only given 30 minutes notice before drop off. She was attentive to my questions, greeted us with love and care, and took the very best care of my boy. She sent numerous videos and pictures and updates and kept me in the loop with everything for the 3 days she had him. Best of all, he looked SO happy there, especially with all the other dogs running around. Something he doesn’t have at home… so grateful I found Jodie :) will never need anyone else!”
20. Pamela H.
“Pam is the best!! I have been to other pet daycares and they do not compare. If you want your pup to be well taken care of and have plenty of opportunity to exercise and socialize, I’d highly recommend Pam!”
