“Molly was incredibly proactive, warm, and communicative in taking care of our Hecate and Loki, being willing to meet them first because Hecate's a scaredy cat and so we wanted her to be comfortable with them, giving thorough and consistent updates, and made them feel relaxed while we were away! So lucky to have met Molly and Hecate and Loki look forward to future visits!”
“Olivia was amazing looking after my baby while i was away for a while but the fact of not having to worry about her and enjoy myself was priceless so thank you so much and I will definitely recommend her to everyone I know when she is available again.10/10”
About: I adopted my Puerto Rican rescue named Leo in 2019 and he has completely changed my life. He can be reactive on walks and is a super anxious boy in general so I have experience managing nervous dogs. Leo has taught me to see every dog as a cherished family member and loyal companion.

I am open to spending time with your dog in your home during the day (but would prefer not to stay overnight). I can do mealtimes and take walks/backyard playtime. And of course, will include endless cuddles.

“Bri was awesome! She communicated with me and was able to help out with everything I asked her to do for the kittens. I'd feel totally comfortable having her watching my babies again!”
“Alice was a great sitter for our cat while we were out of town. She was extremely communicative and gave great summaries of her visits. We highly recommend Alice and would book her again!”
“Svenja was wonderful. Cannot recommend highly enough. Here we were, in Manhattan with our little Josie (miniature dachshund) for her first trip to the big city! She was absolutely freaked out by everything. So we needed to find someone quickly who could deal with our distraught pup while we attended a dinner. Svenja responded quickly, was flexible, immediately helpful, a calming force. Josie completely relaxed around her. Svenja sent us updates through the dinner. I probably needed more calming than Josie! We will continue to use Svenja to watch Josie when we’re in the city. She was great. Highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of my dog Chace since I was 10. After building a relationship with my own dog I have realized that pets are more than just animals, they are extended friends and family members!

I will make sure to keep my pup active and clean! Anytime I watch an animal for my neighbors I will ask if the dog is used to a routine and follow it as best to my ability!
“We were gone for 5 weeks overseas, and utilized the services provided by Cecily. She came every day, made sure our dog has food, water, walks and play-time. She was diligent in her responsibilities and even provided daily photos. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog - sitter, for long or short term drop-ins. We came home and our dog was there waiting for us and Cecily had done a remarkable job.”
“Emma was seriously amazing. I’m new-ish to NY and don’t have an established sitter yet, so I was anxious to find the right person, but I trusted Emma immediately and knew she was the right person for the job. She agreed to help us last minute and went above and beyond for our kitties — writing detailed daily updates, cleaned their litter boxes even though she didn’t have to, etc. She was really flexible and clearly very experienced with cats. I would recommend her to anybody and will definitely be hiring her again next time we leave town.”
“Gretchen takes tremendous care of our cat while we’re out of town and makes it possible for us to take trips confidently. She sends detailed reports of her time and plenty of videos and pictures of our fur baby to keep us connected. She does a great job engaging our cat in playtime to make sure she gets some energy out while we’re gone. Really glad to have her to keep an eye on our pet for us.”
“Chandler did an amazing job taking care of our cat. I looked forward to reading her updates after each visit. She did a very thorough job and really maximized each visit by spending time with our cat cuddling on the couch, playing, etc. She even gave our cat his ear drop medication. You can tell she enjoys what she’s doing and cares about your pet.”

She’s patient, attentive, and genuinely loves spending time with dogs, whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company.

Jiaxu G.
“I’m thrilled to write this testimonial for Jiaxu, who is applying to be a dog walker. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Jiaxu since middle school, and she has always been one of the kindest, most caring people I know. Over the years, we’ve shared countless memories, but one thing that stands out is her genuine love for animals. I have an Italian Greyhound named Rari, who just turned 4 years old. As anyone with an Italian Greyhound knows, they can be a bit of a handful—full of energy, yet delicate and sensitive. My dog has a particular routine and a few quirks, like needing extra warmth on colder days and a gentle hand during walks. Despite these challenges, Jiaxu has consistently stepped up to care for him with incredible patience and love. There was one occasion that truly showed Jiaxu’s dedication and compassion. Just a few days after Rari had been neutered, he was still healing and supposed to be resting. However, being the energetic dog he is, Rari couldn’t resist a few high jumps, and to my horror, he started bleeding. I was in a panic, unsure of what to do. Without hesitation, Jiaxu rushed over, assessed the situation, and immediately took Rari to the ER. She stayed with him the entire time, comforting him as they waited for nearly two hours to see a vet. Despite the long wait and the worry, Jiaxu remained calm and focused on Rari’s well-being. After the treatment, she brought him home and made sure he was settled and comfortable, even staying to monitor him through the night. Thanks to her quick thinking and unwavering care, Rari made a full recovery, and I was incredibly grateful to have someone like Jiaxu by my side during such a stressful time. Jiaxu doesn’t just take care of the basics; she truly connects with my dog. Whether it’s giving him belly rubs until he falls asleep or taking him on long walks that tire him out just enough, she understands what he needs and ensures he feels loved and happy. My dog, who can be quite picky about people, absolutely adores her! I have no doubt that Jiaxu would make an exceptional dog walker. Her reliability, compassion, and genuine care for animals shine through in everything she does. Any dog would be lucky to have Jiaxu as their walker, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for this role.”
