“Tracy was so wonderful with our dog. He rarely gets the chance to have play dates with other dogs so we were a little worried but Tracy reassured us that everything would go well and provided lots of updates and pictures of him playing with her dog! Would definitely book again!!”


“Sonia took great care of my sensitive dog. My pup is nervous in new settings, however she quickly warmed up to Sonia and became more comfortable as the day went on. My dog also loved being out in her beautiful yard. Sonia provided frequent updates and answered all my questions, which helped put my mind at ease. I would recommend her and will use her again for my dog!”


“Couldn't ask for a better sitter! My dog can be nervous in new places and around new people, but Eleanor made him feel right at home and accommodated for his health issues as well. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when it came to drop off and pick up times. Just a wonderful experience.”


“Joey always has the best time with Shishi, Dylan, and Dusty!!! Shishi also always gets the cutest pics of Joey. My gf and I honestly don’t know what we would have done without Shishi’s care as we’ve juggled the move back to NYC + Joey’s first time moving & living in a city. Joey has been able to adjust 10x better thanks to her + being able to feel safe and comfortable when we’re away while he adjusts. We will always absolutely recommend them in a heartbeat!”


“Matthew was a dream sitter. We contacted him on short notice and he did a great job with our gal, Otter, who has significant separation anxiety. Matthew was extremely responsive - we never had to wait more than a few minutes for a response, sometimes even less. And he was extremely flexible as our schedule shifted from day to day. We will definitely be reaching out to Matthew again in the future.”


“Our Biscuit had wonderful time with Carla, he is very comfortable with the day care. Carla took so many beautiful pictures of Biscuit we really love. Gave us a very amazing experience in New York trip.”


“Honestly, she’s more than amazing. She’s guided me to become a better puppy mom as a first time dog owner. Sungmin got out of her way to pick up my dog at 6am in morning almost everyday!!! If that doesn’t show you, her love for dogs idk what will. She sends me pictures & videos throughout the whole day and keeps you updated on everything. My pup loves her and her other dogs so much! So grateful for her. Book her please. Your dog will be in the best hands. 🫶🏼”


About: I love dogs and my friends always rely on me to take care of their pets while they’re out, whether it be for an evening or a few days. I have a dog of my own, Delilah, who is fun and friendly and gets along well with other animals. I work from home 90% of the week, so pet care is very easy for me. I take my own dog on multiple walks throughout the day. She is very well taken care of. I live in an apartment and it is pretty spacious for dogs to run around in. I work from home, so usually the dogs hang out with me and I’ll walk them throughout the day.

“Adam was fantastic with our little rescue dog. Our puppy is very skittish and scared of new people, and Adam was so warm, kind, and patient with him. We were appreciative that Adam was so flexible on the timing and that he was so comfortable taking on our difficult pup. Thanks for a great doggy daycare experience!”


About: With years of pet care experience, I specialize in training puppies and caring for senior dogs. My genuine love for animals ensures that every pet receives personalized and attentive care. From administering medication to providing engaging playtime, I prioritize your dog's happiness and well-being, setting me apart from other sitters. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize morning walks, afternoon playtime, and evening feeding sessions. My flexible schedule allows for frequent check-ins and personalized attention, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and loved throughout the day. By balancing my time efficiently, I can cater to each pet's unique needs, making sure they stay happy and healthy. In my home and clients' homes, I prioritize a safe, secure, and clean environment. I baby-proof areas to eliminate hazards, ensure proper hydration and nutrition, and use positive reinforcement techniques. I also maintain regular communication with pet owners, updating them on their pet's well-being and activities, ensuring trust and peace of mind.

“Absolutely amazing! Seung took such great care of my dog—responsive, friendly, and clearly loves animals. My pup came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”


“Artem is a gem - a first rate dog care giver. He is so attentive to my dog’s needs. Artem expresses his warmth and compassion very easily to you and is very communicative.”


About: Having grown up surrounded by furry companions, I understand just how special the bond is between pets and their owners—and I truly cherish the joy a wagging tail or gentle purr can bring. Though I work a 9–5 during the week, I’m available on weekends to give your pet the care, attention, and affection they deserve. With my childhood dog recently passing, I’m hoping to connect with new furry friends, spreading the same love I’ve always had for animals and honoring his memory in the process 🤎 As a dedicated pet sitter, I take your furry friends on 3-5 daily walks, ensuring they get their exercise and fresh air. I engage them in interactive sensory games to ease their stress and burn energy. With your pet's well-being in mind, I occasionally offer safe fruits and veggies after seeking your approval as the owner. During my stays, I'm all about creating a cozy atmosphere at home, whether it's binge-watching TV or getting creative with arts and crafts. I prioritize not leaving your beloved pets alone, making their comfort my top priority. Your pets are in good hands with me! 🐾 Safety is my top priority as a pet sitter. When your pets stay with me, I ensure their well-being: For doggies: I take them out 4-5 times a day, even providing puppy pads on hot days. They're fed after walks and before the final outing. I keep them cool with homemade chicken broth popsicles in the LA heat! With your approval, I like to also offer boiled chicken as a special treat. 🍗 Healthy treats are always on the menu! I shower them with cuddles until they're content. Whether we're out or indoors, I'm vigilant, watching over them at all times. Your pets are in safe hands with me! 🤗

“Angela was wonderful. She was responsive throughout the whole visit. Theo had woke up sick and she was kind enough to inform me all day regarding his progress. I could tell at the end of the night he was sad to leave! Will be rebooking (:”


“It was my first time with Ikea and my dog Coco and I had a great experience. Ikea is very kind and flexible. I greatly appreciate the care she provided for Coco. I recommend her without hesitation.”


About: I am a life-long pet person who is ready to make them an even larger part of my life by helping you care for your beloved dogs and cats! I have been pet sitting for my friends, my neighbors, and my family for over 20 years, basically since I was old enough to have responsibilities. I have great love for all dogs and cats but have a special affinity for seniors, and have adopted multiple senior pups over the years. I have cared for dogs with disabilities like blindness, as well as behavioral issues like separation anxiety and leash reactivity. I am very familiar with giving medicines and syringe feeding. I’m not a dog trainer but do have some training background with my own dogs and foster pups as well, from 10-week-old puppies to 12-year-old grumpy older ones. I’m currently working from home so I’ll have plenty of time for your fur babies. I’m available for weekends and holidays as well as regular work weeks. I have a mellow, friendly senior pup who can keep your dog or cat company, but mostly she stays to herself. Pets are always treated like my own, meaning they basically have free run of my rooms, including furniture, but I’m also able to crate them for a bit if you prefer. If you have any special rules for your pet, let me know and I’ll follow them.

“Shannon was wonderful. She was quick to respond to all my messages, very flexible with longer dog sitting days (so appreciated) and took wonderful care of Frieda. She sent photos and updates throughout the day and was very proactive about asking my preference for communication. Frieda - 9 month old mini Australian shepherd - enjoyed her days with Shannon and was always happy to see her and trot right into her apartment on the mornings. Will definitely book with Shannon again!”


“Kate was wonderful and took great care of my dog, Ari! She was so nice and reassuring since Ari does have separation anxiety, and I'm always nervous to leave him with a new sitter. I could tell Ari had a great time with Kate and her pup.”

Michele was wonderful with my puppy Woody. She was amazing helping us watch him while we had a lady minute engagement and was very flexible with time as the end time for our event was unpredictable. She was very sweet and gentle with our puppy and we can tell her really liked her. We will definitely be seeing more of her.

Francesca was an amazing sitter! This was my first time leaving Louis with someone, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He instantly connected with Francesca and her sweet pup, Alvin. She kept me updated with lots of cute pictures. Louis looked so relaxed and happy in every photo. I’m grateful Francesca was available to care for Louis. I will definitely reach out for future bookings. I highly recommend!

I can't say enough great things about Seung! He took care of my dog, Hunter, as if he were his own. Not only did Seung make sure Hunter was happy and well-cared for, but he also went above and beyond in every way. He didn’t just stick to the basics — Seung brought Hunter along for errands (which Hunter loved), took him on exciting trips to the dog park, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. It was clear from the updates and photos that Hunter was having an amazing time and was completely comfortable with Seung. I felt totally at ease knowing my dog was in such kind, attentive, and capable hands.

Carla was great with Sasha for our “test run” daycare before she watches Sasha while I’m out of town for a couple weeks. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the day, and Sasha seemed to settle in right away. I always get very nervous looking for someone to watch Sasha, and I feel comforted that she will be well taken care of when I am out of town next!
