“Joey always has the best time with Shishi, Dakota, and Dusty. We’re so grateful we found them so our lil guy has another place where we know he feels safe and happy. He’s even gotten in the habit of bolting once we turn the corner onto their block out of excitement!”
“Here's a review for Zhenwei: Zhenwei is an amazing dog sitter! Cece had the best time with her and her adorable pup Lilo. They went to the park and had a blast running around and chasing each other. Cece was so happy and exhausted after their adventures together. Zhenwei is clearly passionate about dogs and provided top-notch care for Cece. I highly recommend Zhenwei for any dog sitting needs - Cece can't wait to go back!”
“We had a wonderful experience with this sitter. We are in the city for a friend's housewarming and she took care of Winston while we attended the event. She was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated. If in the area again we would be happy to ask her to sit for us again.”

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs and they've always been a big part of my life! Now I'm living in the west village so your four-legged friend awaits walks along the water and plays in the park! I'm working from home all days of the week, so your pet will never be alone! I have a flexible job which gives me plenty of time to take care of your pet and go for walks! I have an apartment in the west village which has 4 different sections: living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. It's a very safe area and the previous tenant had a very happy life with her dog so it's definitely suitable!
“Millie was great with my little guy! You can tell she really cares and loves animals. The whole process was really smooth and she was willing to accommodate with my schedule! Most of all, I can tell my baby was happy and comfortable. Thank you Millie for all the help!”
“Jennifer was awesome! Took great care of Polly, even let her have a toy that she seemed to like. Sent plenty of pictures/videos & took her on a nice long walk. Recommended!”
About: I’ve had 3 dogs and 1 cat over my life and babysat countless of them. I am patient with animals and enjoy getting to know their personalities! I have volunteered at 2 different animal shelters for months at a time where I walked and cared for numerous different animals with different personalities and temperaments. While dog and cat sitting I walked, fed, and played with the animals and accommodated all their needs! I’m currently unemployed so I can spend as much time as needed with your pet. I love to stay active, so I can walk/run with your dog a lot! I live in a pet friendly apartment. I have walked many different kinds of dogs with all sorts of different temperaments and am confident walking your dog anywhere.
