“Doggy felt right at home. She had a great day, Nicholas was very communicative, sent photos that made my heart sing and took great care of Dolly. She loved playing with Nicholas's puppy and seems like a great time was had by all. Will certainly use again.”

About: Registered nurse and stay-at-home mom and dog lover providing a cozy home environment for your best friend. Fenced in back yard. Comfortable and very experienced at giving medications and injections. Open-home environment, your pets are invited to our entire living space and are treated as part of the family! Pets must be dog and child friendly and up-to-date on vaccines! I want your mind to feel at ease when you are away, so communication is a top priority for me. I send updates via text with pictures and videos of your pets, so you know they are same and feeling loved! I was a Pediatric ICU nurse and former school nurse in my town, who transitioned to remote health care. I am home 24/7 with the animals (unless quickly running to pick up a child from school or quick stop at the supermarket). I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs (Rusty is a 3-year-old Cavapoo and Ollie is a 2-year-old Aussiedoodle) to keep your pup company. As the community school nurse for years, I have a trusted reputation in our community. Families felt safe having me care for their children, and now I care for many of their pets! Plenty of local references upon request!
“Ashley was very communicative leading up to Maisy and Peppers’ stay, and she asked all the right questions which showed she was knowledgable about dogs. She sent plenty of updates and pictures throughout their stay, and was very reassuring while she was watching them which made us feel nice and comfortable! We would recommend Ashley for your dog sitter needs!”

“Katsui is wonderful - kind, accommodating, reliable, and trusting. Her home is "out of the way" - not even between my house or workplace - but she is worth the commute!”

About: I’ve dealt with dogs of all ages. I also used to work at a pet store that’s locally.. petco in Glen cove taught me a lot I’m currently working part time, but I have availability to where I can go home at pretty much whatever time during the day as well as I’m off on weekends I care for the pets as if they’re my own . I made sure they are fed. I make sure they go on multiple walks. I make sure they get to play and I make sure they get to go to the bathroom. If they aren’t comfortable, I do everything in my ability to make sure I get them to that point

“My two German Shepherds, Snow and Magnum returned today from a two day stay with Loraine B. and her lovely family. My dogs do not always easily adjust to new surroundings. This time that was not the case. Both Snow and Magnum settled right in to Loraine's home and they were very comfortable with her attentive care. Don't think twice if you are looking for a loving place for your pets... they are in good hands with Loraine and her family. Just make sure to leave room for Snow and Magnum as they will be back with Loraine when next we need to be away. Thank you very much for the wonderful care!!”


About: I love dogs of all types and have two dogs of my own- a mini Australian Shepard and a Catahoula. I had experience in training, raising, and grooming them, and also love taking care of dogs from family and friends. They are a joy to take care of and I can’t wait to be the next caretaker of your dog soon! I am currently working part time and am flexible in my schedule, especially on the weekends, and can care for your pet during the day and overnight if needed. I have lots of square footage indoors and outdoors for your pet to play with, complete with a large fenced yard for safety and perfect for playing fetch! I also have two medium sized dogs that are very friendly and love playing with other dogs.
“I was very nervous about leaving my 11 year old havanese since he had only stayed with relatives. Phinny liked Kris right away, and Kris was sensitive to working with an anxious pup. Furthermore, all communication has been prompt and easy. We will definitely be using Kris for longer visits now!”

“Lu and his family took wonderful care of Lani for the day! They shared plenty of photos and updates, took her on walks, and gave her lots of time to explore outdoors. They were very patient and accommodating with her puppy teething needs. We felt completely comfortable leaving Lani with them and would absolutely book again.”

“This was our first time using a dog sitter outside of family or friends our dog was already familiar with. We are preparing her for a longer trip we will need to take. Juan was our first choice, and our dog seemed quite comfortable with the experience. It was great that his wife and son were there to greet us and our dog. We think the "family" environment is positive for helping our dog feel at ease. The pictures Juan sent very few hours were quite thoughtful.”

“Robert is the best sitter that any dog owner could ask her. He is friendly and flexible. You can really feel for the love he gives to dogs. Thank you so much for looking for Dooly on our busiest day of our lives :)”

“My dog ("Beans") was at ease with Wenxu and her husband from the moment we arrived. I was provided with regular updates and pictures regarding her care and status. Communication response time was quick and efficient. I will definitely use Wenxu to watch Beans when the need arises again and would highly recommend her!”

“Grace was great and communicative throughout the day, sending pictures and videos and updates!! It was great for the few hours I needed coverage for and if the need arises I'd definitely use her again”

About: We are a dog-loving couple who had the pleasure of caring for our own dog for 14 years. We live in a spacious private home with a large fenced yard, and like to take nice long walks. We are also well trained in administering insulin and other medications, or feeding special diets. We both work from home most weeks and are available to care for your dog either during the day and/or overnight, while you are away. We have a large fenced yard, and ask that your dog be potty trained so that they could use it if they need to. We will also gladly send you photos while you are away and surely miss your dog.
“Alissa is super nice and down to earth. We met with her for a meet and greet and my dog was comfortable with her and her home right away. She has two super sweet dogs of her own and her home is beautiful and cozy. She is quick to respond and has proven to be reliable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her!”

“Great stay for our black Labrador Marco. Last minute reservation for Thanksgiving. Easy, fast communication. Usha sent me updated photos of Marco playing. Definitely will use Usha's services again!”
About: Ive been a professional dog walker for 7 years in my neighborhood. Everywhere I go they ask where are the dogs?? Ive had many satisfied clients. I have slots for more dogs daily. Small dogs are my preference since I have in a small area for them to play in. Overnights are fine too. I have a main play room in my space for smaller dogs. Large dogs may need an overnight pen to rest in overnight for dogs over 30 pounds.
“Rebecca and her husband had a such a nice time with Hobbes. He got a 4 hour playdate with their dog Kodak who is very sweet and greeted us with open arms. Highly recommend, I'll certainly be coming back.”
