“Stella is amazing!! This was the first time we were leaving Norman for longer than a weekend so we were a bit nervous knowing he’s a high energy dog. Stella kept us updated every day with a mini recap of videos and pictures. She made sure he got enough exercise and play time throughout the day as well as stimulation. We were so appreciative of her helpful tips and thoughtfulness throughout his stay including giving him enrichment toys, lots of outside time, and maintaining some training habits. Her dog Koukla is also incredible and Norman had the best time playing with her (although I’m sure she is excited for some quiet time back). We couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“Jen was incredibly attentive and loving with our 11-week-old puppy. We are truly grateful for the exceptional care she provided. Without a doubt, Jen will be our first choice whenever we need a doggy sitter again. P.S. – Goose already misses you! -Paul & Alexa”
“Viktorila was amazing! Before booking, we did a meet-and-greet, and I immediately felt at ease. After meeting her, I was confident that my pups would be in great hands. Throughout the stay, she communicated frequently and sent plenty of photos of my fur babies, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. As an added bonus, she even brushed out my puggle, who has been shedding like crazy. I have to say, she did a better job than his groomer! I would absolutely recommend Viktorila to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable pet sitter. I have already booked her again. :)”
“Nicole was a dream! She took care of my shy dog like her own for 3 days. While my dog is shy and scared of people, Nicole had lots of love, toys and walks for a whole weekend to make him feel at home. Will definitely rebook!”
“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!!”
“David and his wife were FANTASTIC! They treated my dog Tati with love and care. She has horrible separation anxiety so we are selective with who we trust but we would definitely hire them again. They sent regular updates and were really responsive. I’m happy to have found a reliable sitter in Bushwick and would highly recommend!”
“We can’t imagine a better human to care for our pup than Meiqi. She is so kind, professional, and communicative. She sent us daily updates and photos to help us miss our pup less and to give us the peace of mind that he was having a great time on walks, taking naps, and eating healthy meals. We are so grateful to Meiqi.”
“Kiersten & Casey really are the best sitters!! I am always at ease whenever Nalu stays with them, they do such a great job at always keeping me updated with lots of pictures!”
“Mykala and her partner took great care of my dog Tails! It was a fairly last minute request for multiple days of boarding so I was very relieved to find good caregivers for him. They provided lots of updates and Tails enjoyed spending time with their dog Boots. I would book again!”
“Eva was kind, flexible, and communicative. She clearly loves dogs and took good care of Wallace. But appreciated her accommodating my schedule around the busy holidays.”
“Farrah had another fantastic stay at Ian and Clementina’s! They shared numerous updates, photos, and videos during her multi day stay at their apartment, and came back super happy!!”
“Lillian and Picasso took great care of my dog with incredible attention to detail, especially during her heat cycle, and I’m so grateful for that. I also appreciated her frequent updates.”
“Meilin is so friendly and took such amazing care of my dog! During the meet and greet I could tell she was very knowledgeable about dogs. During my dog’s stay with her she sent me daily updates and I could tell my dog felt comfortable with her. I highly recommend Meilin and would definitely trust her to watch my dog again.”
“Alexandra was communicative, reliable, and took great care of my senior dog. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and easy. I’m glad I found her and would definitely book with her again.”
“Tallin was a truly wonderful dogsitter! I've left my dog with very few sitters before, so I was a bit anxious about leaving him with a stranger, but Tallin put me right at ease with twice-daily updates and lots of photos. I will absolutely try to book with her again next time I need a sitter!”
“Eleanor was amazing! She treated Mango like her own and was incredibly easy to communicate with. He had a wonderful stay at her apartment. Would absolutely recommend.”
“Renzo took great care of Biggie! I could tell how much love he got when he got home and seemed sweeter even than when I dropped him off. He was very communicative and caring.”

Camila took such great care of Atlas and kept us updated on how he was doing throughout our trip. She sent photos and videos frequently, which we appreciated since we’ve never left Atlas with a sitter before! Atlas clearly enjoyed himself with Camila and came back to us happy and healthy! We would definitely rebook with her in the future.
Gillian was absolutely wonderful! We booked super last minute and she was so accommodating. She took great care of our pup and we loved the daily updates with several pics so we could see what they were up to. We would highly recommend Gillian and will certainly book her again!
We could not have asked for better dog sitters. Breana and Adam took amazing care of our dog while we were away. They sent photo updates every single day and were warm, and professional. We will absolutely have Crush stay with then again and highly recommend them to anyone who wants peace of mind while traveling. Thank you both so much!
Tony and Sofiya are the sweetest! I was really nervous to leave Winnie because it’s the first time I left her with someone who wasn’t family, but Tony and Sofiya took such good care of her and sent me regular updates with pictures of her snuggling with their little pug, Dulce. They even brushed her teeth and dealt with her leash reactivity on walks with ease. It was easy to see that Winnie was in good hands!
Kamil was wonderful with my dog Bruno, especially since I needed someone last minute. She was incredibly accommodating, responsive, and made the entire experience feel easy and stress-free from the start. I felt really comfortable leaving Bruno with her, and it was clear he was well cared for while staying in her home. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed his time there. I’m so grateful for how seamless and positive the experience was, and I would absolutely trust Kamil with Bruno again. Highly recommend!
Jessica took great care of our dog Kenny for 5 days while we were on vacation. She was flexible on pick up and drop off and very responsive. We got a lot of great photos as well! This is the 2nd time that Jessica cared for Kenny and we would definitely ask her to watch him again in the future.
Lillian has always been so amazing with Max! I really trust her to take good care of him, and I always feel comfortable leaving Max with her when I’m out of town. She's always so communicative, attentive, and caring toward Max. It puts me at ease knowing he’s with her and her sweet Picasso.
would definitely book with Dinh Dinh again! she did an amazing job with Charlie and stepped in last-minute after our previously arrange care fell through. she sent lots of photo updates with descriptions of how Charlie spent his day! felt very relieved having Charlie in her care
Grace was a fantastic sitter, would absolutely ask her to watch my dog again! Sent lots of photos where my pup, Lara, looked thrilled to be there :) Also realized that I had miscounted my dog food cans and really kindly picked up more. Lara was definitely sad to leave and clearly had a great time hanging out with her! Would absolutely recommend her and book again!
