Highlights
Pet care experience
Private care for one dog at a time
We’re a good fit for dogs who are over 1 year old, spayed/neutered, fully potty trained, and happy sleeping solo (no human beds or bedrooms). We don’t accept dogs who require pee pads or bark/whine when we are out of sight. These basics help keep the vacation smooth for everyone. Pick up/drop off: 6:00am - 7:00pm. We live with a wonderful Lab named Lincoln (no current job).
Cat care experience
Chris & Aiste also care for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
I cannot say enough good things about the experience of working with Aiste, Chris and Lincoln. Best possible solution for a doting cat Mom who has a hard time leaving her only young cat for a few days of desperately needed vacation time. The humans (Aiste and Chris) are both warm, welcoming and accommodating - they sent nice updates with photos that put my mind at ease day after day so I could really unwind. They were happy to follow my lead and met me where I was at with communication, and first longer time away jitters. Lincoln the wonder pup (such a love!!!) - he and my JJ had an amazing time together! My kitty loves people and pups and other cats too. Lincoln and he were an amazing match. They made for great companions and I got such a kick out of seeing them getting to know each other and bond. Warmed my heart and allowed me to relax knowing that JJ was on his own holiday with this great new friend! It was such a relief to have lots of companionship from all 3 (2 people + 1 pup) and updates to know all was going well. I was able to truly enjoy some time away! Great great great experience with this amazing family of care takers!! 🫶🏼❤️😊😻 Looking forward to working with them again! Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
Chris and Aiste were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Whiskey. From the moment I met them, I knew Whiskey was in great hands as they greeted us with excitement and warmth. During his stay, they took him in lots of walks and dog parks, and kept me updated throughout the day with plenty of pictures. Whiskey looked like the happiest boy, playing fetch with them and hanging out with their dog, Lincoln. They were incredibly responsive, communicative and just a pleasure to speak with. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters for my boy and I would certainly trust them with Whiskey again!
We’re visiting from LA and it was the best experience I’ve ever had with dog sitters. Chris & Aiste are very nice people, they met us together and took our doggie so well. We left Barney with them overnight, which honestly made me nervous since we were in a new city, but they made it so easy we even had to change the meeting time and they adjusted without any issue. They were warm, easygoing, and great communicators, sending us photos and updates throughout so we always knew Barney was doing great. After meeting them in person, I felt completely at ease leaving my little guy in their hands. Highly recommend if you need a sitter you can actually trust.
Our experience with Chris was a real delight. It was Bella's first boarding experience ever. So we were slightly stressed out. She seemed to have fallen in love with Chris the minute she saw him, and so did he :) She looked extremely happy when we picked her up. Thank you Chris for making it so seamless and for taking such good care of our little baby. She is definitely coming back!
Chris + Aiste took care of my dog Ackee like their own! When we arrived at their house she felt immediately at home and i knew she would be well taken care of. They truly seemed to enjoy and see the best in her and she had so much fun. They sent me many updates of her going on hikes and napping in the sun. Ackee would love to stay with them again!
My husky had such a fantastic time staying with Chris! She was happy and relaxed at the end of each day. Thank you so much,Chris, for taking such good care of her!

Schedule
We recently moved from California to Murray Hill, so we are having a great time exploring our new neighborhood. Pick up/drop off is between 6:00am – 7:00pm. Pet care is a central part of our day; we integrate guest dogs into our regular morning and evening walks (and runs!) alongside our wonderful Lab, Lincoln (no current job).

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Transitioning from a yard to an NYC apartment means we are highly attentive when navigating city sidewalks, and dogs are always securely leashed outdoors. Indoors, we maintain a safe, dog-proofed space.

A typical day
The best part of our new location is the vibrant city energy. A typical day includes strolls along the East River Esplanade or local spots like St. Vartan Park and Madison Square Park. We love to take photos, and for longer stays, we do field trips to switch each day up and provide variety.
