“Yinuo (Angela) was great! We had to find a sitter last minute and she was extremely responsive and willing to accommodate. She always sent us multiple pictures during her walks with our dog, Bobo, and would update us throughout the day. Bobo has separation anxiety so can be anxious when settling into a new place. However, Angela made him quickly feel at home, and he looked extremely comfortable and settled in in the photos she shared after we left. We will definitely be booking Angela again next time!”
“Bridget was absolutely amazing with my fur baby. We were on a business trip and my pup was having a hard time adjusting to the hotel and a new environment. Bridget was able to give him a comfortable place to stay for a couple of days, and he felt right at home. I would highly recommend Bridget. She was a life saver during my trip to the city.”
“I cannot recommend Amanda enough! She truly cares about Leo as if he were her own. She is incredibly diligent with his feeding schedule, daily walks, and potty breaks, making sure he stays on his routine while I'm away. It’s such a peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. I’m so impressed that I’ll be a weekly customer from now on. Thank you, Amanda!”
“This was the second time my Noodles spent time with John. He came home super calm, happy and tired which is so unusual for this energetic puppy. Thank you so much!”
“Sherry and Walter are just amazing ! They took really good care of our Luna , sending us pictures and updates on a daily basis Sherry’s pictures are professional level We would use them as our cat sitters in a heartbeat Thank you again”
“We left our pup in Bailey’s care for a week for much-needed vacation. We received regular updates every day and never had any doubt that he was being given the best care. He got along with Bailey’s pup Duke and seemed to have a great time! I would definitely recommend her services. She cares about your dog like they are her own.”
“Lal is an amazing sitter! She is always so accommodating and makes sure my dog Margot is well taken care of. She sends plenty of updates, which gives me great peace of mind while I’m away. She’s incredibly responsive, responsible, and clearly cares for the pets she watches. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Ryan was a phenomenal sitter! He was quick to accept my last minute request. He was attentive and followed all my instructions while sending video and picture updates at my preferred cadence! Ryan is great with dogs and even offered a few toys and treats of his own while checking with me first to see if ok. Ryan was an amazing sitter and I plan to use him again!”
“Michael was incredibly accommodating and patient in caring for my senior dog on such a short notice. He was attentive, communicative, and responsive.”
“Sabrina is incredible and took special care of my dog. She keeps in constant contact with photos and videos. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely book with Sabrina again. 10/10 fully recommend her!”
“Angelique was absolutely lovely! She was extremely communicative and her love for dogs is apparent! Charlie was very well take care of during his stay. She made sure to stay in contact and provide updates. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Loved having Anastasiia watch my cat, Dimsum. She was great with updates and letting me know how our cat was doing during the stay. Thank you again for everything!”
“Ana and Luis are our choice for caring for our dog when we travel so we are “a repeat client.” They are caring, responsive and make our dog feel at home. It was a great stay - again.”
“Tingli and Samuel are AWESOME! Cleo loves spending time with them and always leaves calm and relaxed as a husky can be! Most definitely recommend them!”
“Adam watched our 10 month old puppy for about a week while we were out of town, and he did an awesome job. I got so many pictures and videos the whole time. His dog Hermes gets on great with my puppy, they were playing together the whole time! We did a meet and greet before booking him to make sure that the dogs got along well together too. We needed our dog to only eat the food we brought due to allergy concerns, and Adam fed them in separate rooms which worked well. We got back a tired, happy puppy.”
“Stella was great! Austin is a little anxious & reactive but Stella was so accommodating & patient with him. I get nervous leaving him with new sitters since we just moved but I knew he was in good hands with Stella & Koukla. Stella provided me regular updates & took Austin on walks, to the park & kept him so busy & happy while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Merin was AMAZING!! I really felt Moose was being well taken care of and left me with such peace of mind while on vacation. She was super thorough, gave constant updates, and reached out with any questions/concerns. Hands down we found our go to sitter which is the best feeling knowing I have someone to trust to take care of Moose when I need a little R&R! Thank you!!”
“Cannot endorse Lillian (and Picasso) enough! Chase and I have known both from the neighborhood for 2+ years and Lillian’s love, enthusiasm and understanding with the local pups was abundant. Chase just completed an awesome boarding stay and he is for sure still missing his adopted family. Lillian was patient and accommodating with some of Chase’s small quirks and scheduling adjustments when my flight was delayed. Chase had the time of his life and Lillian kept me updated with pics and funny stories of their adventures hanging out, walks and trips to the dog park. And of course Mr. Picasso is an awesome temporary step-bro—easily one of the sweetest, gentlest and most easy-going pups I’ve ever met. Huge thanks to Lillian & Picasso for caring for Chase so well and all the peace of mind while I was away 😁🐾🙏”
“Mykala was awesome! She took great care of Saffy and was really flexible when my travel plans changed & I had to book an additional night. I've already booked Mykala again for my next trip and I know Saffy will be excited to see her.”

Fantastic experience! Angela was caring, reliable, and kept us updated throughout our dog’s stay. Our dog was happy and well cared for, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. We would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them. Thank you!
This was the fifth time our Neon stayed with Seoyoung and Donguk. During all stays, Neon was well taken care of and we had good faith our beloved dog was in good hands. We received lots of pictures and updates, so we could travel with peaceful mind. Thank you so much :)
Baso is having a blast with Alexandra! Great communication, regular updates, and he looks so happy and comfortable during his stay. It's been a wonderful experience, and we'll definitely be back for longer stays in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of him!
Theo was so happy when we picked him up! We’re so glad we found our go-to sitter in the city. Michael and his wife kept us updated with great communication and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Theo was well cared for and having a great time. We would absolutely book with them again in the future! 🐾😊
Tony and Sofiya were amazing with Bonnie! This was my first time leaving her with anyone outside of family, and they made me feel completely at ease with multiple daily updates, pictures, and great communication. They gave Bonnie so much love and attention and even took her to a doggie party. It was clear she had an incredible time and was treated like one of their own. I could not recommend them more highly and would absolutely trust them with Bonnie again. I think she was a little disappointed to come home 😄🐾❤️
Clay and Lu are absolutely exceptional dog sitters and we couldn’t have felt more at peace leaving Lucy in their care. From the very first night, they sent detailed, thoughtful updates full of warmth and genuine affection, making it clear that Lucy wasn’t just a guest but truly part of their home for the week. They kept up her training routines, practiced her tricks daily, took her on long walks, and brought her to the dog park to help her build confidence. Lucy thrived with them, gained noticeable confidence, and came home happy and healthy. Their communication was consistent, sweet, and reassuring every single day, which made our time away so much more enjoyable. We are so grateful to have found them, we wouldn’t hesitate to book again in a heartbeat. 🖤
Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Jae is very caring and compassionate, which was especially nice for Martini who has severe separation anxiety. Jae was able to understand Martini and attended to her needs in a way not many sitters are able to. When I picked her up she was calm and resting which was a rare sight to see as she is usually stressed when I pick her up. Would definitely recommend Jae as a sitter!!
We had a wonderful experience with Gabrielle and would absolutely book with her again! Jupiter stayed with her for 5 days, and she took amazing care of him. She sent us photos and updates every day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Gabrielle has a beautiful backyard where Jupiter loved spending time sunbathing, and he also enjoyed playing with her dog, Bao, who was such a great companion for him. One thing we really appreciated is that Gabrielle works from home, so Jupiter had plenty of attention and company throughout the day. She also took him on multiple walks every day and made sure he stayed active and happy. Gabrielle was incredibly sweet, caring, and communicative from start to finish. It was clear that Jupiter was comfortable and well-loved during his stay. We highly recommend her and will definitely be rebooking in the future!
I am beyond happy with the level of attention and care Bettzabe provided for my Emma! She was really happy, and I received multiple pictures and videos throughout her stay. Easy to communicate with, lots of attention to detail, and excellent care. Would definitely book again!
Emily was absolutely amazing! Our pup, Bear, had the best time with lots of belly rubs and walks down the east river! She sent multiple updates each day so we never had to wonder how Bear was doing which put us at ease. We would 100% recommend Emily and would have her watch Bear again.
Kendall is the best! I left Betty with her while she was recovering from an injury, and I couldn’t have felt more at ease (despite her visit to the emergency I knew she was in good hands). Kendall treated her like her own — calm, patient, and so attentive throughout. She kept me in the loop with regular updates and photos, which meant everything during a stressful time. I’ve already recommended her to friends and would do so again without hesitation.
