“Bella took great care of Virgil! This was our first time leaving him for the weekend and she kept us updated with pics and videos. Virgil had a great time playing with her dogs! She also folded up his crate and packed everything up so it was ready to go for pick up. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Highly recommend using their care! They sent me updated pictures multiple times a day and responded to messages promptly! We will definitely use their care again in the future!”
“Carlos and family were so sweet and attentive to my dog. They were very fast to respond, sent videos and photos of my dog, and checked in. They were also very flexible with drop off and pick up time. I would highly recommend them!”

“This was my first time ever having a dog sitter and being separated from my puppy. I was very nervous for him to be with someone else but Denise was amazing and made me feel comfortable that lucky was in Great hands. I can tell Lucky had a great time. I’m happy to have found Denise !”
“Aliyah was great with Bennie! We got him back and he was very tired which is exactly what we like when he get him back from boarding! We also got pictures and videos while we were away so we felt happy with the care Bennie was receiving! Overall, a very nice experience!!!”
“Sadie had an excellent stay with Vanessa. You can tell that Vanessa and her family treated our dog like a part of their family. Vanessa sent daily photos/videos and updates. I 100% recommend her and would not hesitate to use her services in the future. Thank you so much for taking care of our Sadie girl!”
“First time ever using a pet sitter, Was very pleased w/the care our 7 month old “big” high energy pup received. Lots of photos/videos were shared and response was quick. Friendly environment!”
“Trin and her lovely family took wonderful care of our dog Peter. He was well kept, and happy. I could not recommend Trin enough, she was a great sitter and we will be revisiting again!”
“Milo had such a great time staying with Xinyue! She’s super sweet and patient, and her dog Kiki is really friendly and playful. Their home is clean, cozy, and the private backyard is perfect for dogs to run around and have fun. Milo followed his usual routine, got plenty of rest, and even slept peacefully in their room overnight. He felt totally at home — like part of the family! We’re so glad we found Xinyue — definitely someone you can trust with your pup. Highly recommend!”
“Diana was amazing with my pup, Louis! He had an absolute blast — especially getting to run around outside and play with the other dogs and kids, which is such a treat for him since he doesn’t get that kind of freedom in Manhattan. I could tell he was well cared for and totally in his element. Communication was great, with tons of photos daily, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such a loving, fun environment. I’d strongly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible sitter — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Nav was a fantastic dog sitter for our large husky! Even her family was very friendly and showed a lot of love to Maverick. We received photos and videos daily of Maverick playing with her dog, running around and sunbathing in their spacious yard. We are so happy to have found Nav and will definitely book with Nav again in the future ! Thank you again for caring for our pup!”
“Jason was wonderful - sent us pix of our dogs hanging with the other dogs he was walking or boarding, and he kept us updated on their adventures and their friendships. We loved knowing they were in good hands.”
“Anthony!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.. so much taking care of my baby! I was so worried prior to my trip as I was not able to find a sitter and then I saw your profile on the last day before my flight and I am so happy I did. You and your family did an amazing job in taking care of Marley. And I am happy he found a new friend…Bentley! You sent me videos and pics daily and that gave me peace of mind that Marley was safe and having an amazing time. I will be booking again. Again, thank you! !”
“From start to finish, Veronique made the whole experience stress-free and full of peace of mind. They were so kind with my dog and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which I loved. I could see how happy and comfortable my pup was the entire time, and I never had a single worry. It’s clear Veronique and her family truly cares and puts their heart into what they do. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little sad to leave! I’m so grateful for their care and can’t recommend them enough to other pet owners.”
“One of the kindest, most honest and comforting people we have met! Lee was INCREDIBLE with my family dog Rosie who took to her and her husband so quickly. My family has never left their dog alone with anyone and was so nervous to leave her with someone but immediately felt comfortable when we met Lee. We received pictures and updates the whole time and the dog was relaxed and almost didn’t want to leave! We will 1000% be leaving our pups with her in the future and can’t recommend her more :) thanks again!”
“We were away for a week out of the country with limited access to texts and emails, but never had to worry about the care Tebow was getting. We’re always confident leaving him with Denis and Marina. It’s nice to go away with that peace of mind and helps to relax while on vacation!”
“Chris watched my dog who has separation anxiety for a couple days. I was so nervous (for all of them) to leave my anxious guy with someone he didn't know especially during a thunderstorm, etc... but everyone made it though and I'm grateful he had another dog he could play with, etc... Thanks Chris and Co.”
