“Mark and Rachel took great care of Tucker while we were away for the week. They were very communicative and attentive to his needs. We felt he was in great hands. Would definitely recommend!”


2. Eleanor L.

“Eleanor is SO caring and in tune with Preston's needs, it is really very impressive. She knows him so well and you can tell she really takes each pet's unique personalities and considerations into account while they are there at her home. I feel very secure leaving Preston in her care and know he has a lot of fun every time he visits!”


3. Daniela P.

“Best sitter we have ever had. So good with our dog while we were away and gave us amazing updates throughout our trip. Daniela also walks Arnie for us a few days a week. Her care and attention are so appreciated. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their pet”


4. Nirvana D.

“Nirvana is a really great and responsive sitter! She was watching my puppy for a day while we were away, and my puppy came back happy, relaxed and tired (obviously they had a really good time!). Would definitely book with her again :)”


5. Sam & Karen A.


“Sam and Karen are great! My pup had the best time. They were very communicative, and got some great photos to update me. Edie can’t wait to go back!”


6. David R.

“David and his partner were the best sitters we could have asked for! Our puppy, Violet, has many needs as she is highly anxious and easily terrified. David and his partner went above and beyond with their patience and love for Violet, and it was clear she loved them when we picked her up. David sent us multiple updates per day with helpful and honest information about how Violet was doing, and the most adorable pictures that I am so grateful for. It is clear David is a dog expert and dog lover, and most importantly a compassionate and kind person. I would highly recommend!”


7. Hawthorne & Wei S.

“Hawthorne was very kind. I was scheduled to go away the previous week and had to change plans at last minute for the following week. He was very understanding. I picked my pup up after two days, and she was one very happy doggie! She's unusually happy to begin with but she clearly was not pining for me! Hawthorne sent me pictures in between and she looked like she had made fast friends with him. She was happy. I'm happy. I brought her food, toys, and fave snacks. Hawthorne and Wei provided the in-person love while I had to be away. I think that says everything!”


8. Lal L.


“This is the second time Bruno has stayed with Lalkha. The first was for a week, while we were out of the country, this time, it was only for a night. Both times, we couldn't have asked for more. Her home and yard are great for Bruno who can be very active, especially when he's excited. She's wonderful with him, and his sensitive stomach and skin. She sends pictures and is great at communicating. I always get so excited to see the pictures she sends. Lalkha is a wonderful sitter. I don't think we will ever use anyone else!”


9. Amy C.


“Amy was amazing. She took care of my boy for a week and I didn’t have to worry about anything. She sent pictures and Was very communicative. I absolutely will go back to her whenever she has the availability. Thank you so much Amy!”




10. John C.

“John was such a great boarder for our Simon! We received regular updates along with photos during the 10 days we were gone. We could tell Simon had a great time and was sad to be leaving John when we picked him up. We'll definitely be using him again!”


11. Sherry S.

“I can't say enough good things about Sherry and her amazing care for my dog! From the moment I reached out to her, she was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. She took the time to ask all the right questions about my dog's routine, preferences, and any special needs, which really put my mind at ease. She treated my dog as if he were her own, showering him with love, attention, and plenty of playtime. It was so comforting to know that he was in such capable hands while I was away. Sherry also sent me regular updates with adorable pictures and videos, which was such a nice touch and made me feel like I was right there with him. I would absolutely recommend Sherry to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring pet sitter. She’s a true professional and a wonderful person. I can tell my dog had a fantastic time with her, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”


12. Andrea C.
“Andrea is the most animal-loving person I know. She had a dog, Lilly, who she loved so dearly, and currently has two cats which she cares and provides for herself. She is very experienced with dogs (and cats alike). I know she would a great and ideal dog sitter for Rover!”


13. Tory J.

“Tory was great with our doodles. She sent tons of updates and photos. She has a great setup at her place where the pups can lounge outside or inside. I highly recommend her.”


14. Justin N.

“Justin was highly communicative and sent multiple photos each day of my dog's week-long stay. Dog was happy and healthy upon our return. His modern apartment building is very convenient for pick-up/drop-off and is in a cosmo-nice area of Manhattan that has plenty of people and dogs around to make it safe and pleasant/interesting (that is, his neighborhood is chill -- not crowded-crazy like Times Square).”


15. Miruna B.

“There aren’t enough nice things to say about Miruna!! She is the best dog sitter! We had last minute plans fall through for dog sitting options so we went to Miruna a few days before we needed her for an 11 day dog sitting job. Miruna was ready immediately and took Prince in with ease. She was absolutely the best with taking care of our little guy. She was extremely communicative and sent us pictures and videos of Prince throughout the days. We were always certain he was getting the best care and was having a blast the entire time! She even got him a new toy and a little outfit to keep!”


16. Aly U.

“Sky was an excellent caretaker of my pup. I needed to leave town after adopting my rescue just a week earlier. My dog Freedom was still getting used to a walking schedule but was still unpredictable. Sky was wonderful in working with him and finding a solution that worked in my absence. Aly also took great care in walking him, taking him to parks and even a yoga class while I was gone. Flexible and a great commutator, I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”


17. Didi B.


“Didi was amazing! We were a bit worried since this was the first time we left our pup since we got him, but Didi made us feel very comfortable and took great care of our pup. We met her and did a quick trial run, which gave us great comforts when leaving our puppy with her for 10 days. During the stay, she read our instructions in great detail, kept us updated and in the loop with daily communications. Thanks to Didi we were really able to relax and enjoy our vacation! Would highly recommend her and will definitely book her for our stay.”


18. Danielle & Andres M.
“Danielle and Andres were excellent! Bean hadn’t stayed with someone new in a while so I was a bit nervous, but I could tell from their many updates and pictures that they made Bean feel extremely comfortable and felt extremely comfortable with him in Andres and Danielle’s care. I would absolutely use them again and recommend them to others! Thank you Danielle and Andres for making Bean so comfortable in your home!!”


19. Melissa K.

“Melissa was great watching our mutt, Tulip. She dog sat twice for us. The first was just for a few hours. The second was twelve hours. Both occasions were seamless. Tulip seemed happy and calm about both stays. She normally suffers from separation anxiety but if she was going through it she was much calmer than usual. Melissa was always prompt and responsive to all my inquiries. She also was very articulate about Tulip’s behavior while with her. I will definitely seek Melissa out again when Tulip needs a sitter.”


20. Lucy C.

“Lucy took such great care of Sol! I can tell he really enjoyed his stay and made some new doggy friends as well 🐶 Lucy made sure to go above and beyond and i’m so appreciative 🫶🏽”
