“Jennifer is absolutely incredible. Larry my puppy is 3 months so I was nervous to leave him with anyone, let alone a stranger. She quickly put my mind at ease when I watched her interact with Larry. And to be honest the best part of this review is, Larry is wildly excited to see Jennifer each morning she watches him. Jennifer is incredibly accommodating as well. My schedule changed 4x over a 2 week stretch and Jennifer made a stressful situation very comforting. I actively using her services and will continue to.”

“Good evening, Berlina is a great animal lover. She has watched my animal on several occasions while I was away on vacation or work assignments. All you have to do is leave her with instructions and she'll follow to a "T". She also owns a cute little dog herself that's full of energy. I don't think there's any other dogs as energetic as hers so rest easy your dogs will be in good hands.”

“Scott has been watching my dog for years! I appreciate the fact that he can handle my large and sometimes clumsy German Shepherd. He is responsible, trustworthy, and communicates in a timely fashion. He always gives me regular updates (and photos) of my dog during their walks and playtime. He has stayed overnight in our home and gone above and beyond - cleaning dishes, taking out the trash, and getting the mail/large packages. He spends so much quality time with my dog and I can tell he cares about him as much as I do! One time he even found a tick on my dog and removed it with tweezers. Scott is an extremely reliable walker/caretaker and I would recommend him to anyone!”


20. David G.
“Dave is a true Dog lover! Handled our Lab Riley many times with big hikes in the Catskills, weekends in the country and on the trails, and w lots of Doggie Play and company with Maggie, his dog. He gives the Dogs a lot of attention and exercise. The pets get fed on schedule, stay clean, and sleep great when in his care.”
