Adeib was fabulous! He kept me up to date with everything going on with my dog Cookie and sent me lots of pictures. Adeib is a natural when it comes to taking care of dogs.

My dogs were well taken care of and both were happy. My dog Simone is a handful but Horace was able to walk both dogs at the same time. Awesome

Razan was a great help when we needed to book a sitter pretty last minute. She came over for a meet and greet and was really thorough in her questioning and communication as it related to Hugo. While Hugo was in her care I felt very in the know of how things were going and knew he was safe! She kept our space very clean and was a great guest and sitter to have.

Deisi was a great choice! She was on time and very personable. She connected with our anxious girls right away and seemed very calm and confident in staying with them. She sent us photos while we were out showing that they were relaxed and we appreciated the extra touch to send them for reassurance. Would definitely recommend and hope to use her services in the future.

Monique was fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs, and our apartment, while we were away. From the beginning, communication was smooth. During our trip, she sent daily text updates with wonderful photos. One of our dogs is a rescue and is initially wary of new people, but she took to Monique almost immediately. I will definitely contact Monique the next time we're looking for a pet sitter. Highly recommended!

Ali was the best! Both Poppy (cat) and Lillian (dog) loved her! I am so grateful that they were comfortable. Ali followed their schedule for eating, walking and hanging out, and they were not even that excited when we got home. Our greeting was more like, "Oh, hi. You're back" Lillian didn't even bring me a toy, which she usually does even if I've only been gone for a half hour. I loved getting reports and photos. Ali joined our dog walking pack for the morning walk and all of our friends and their dogs really enjoyed having her. I will definitely refer Ali to anyone who asks. We will definitely engage her again!! I can't recommend Ali highly enough! Julie

I had to call Jeanette really last minute when we got stranded with the blizzard. She has great communication and always made me feel like the dogs were her number one priority. I have an older dog who takes pills which ca ln be a challenge and she never had an issue. I would highly recommend and use Jeanette again.

About: Hello! My name is Patty, and I’m a lifelong cat lover who truly enjoys caring for animals. I have two cats of my own, Sol and Luna, both two years old, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I’ve cared for them since they were kittens, and I’m comfortable working with cats of all ages, from playful little ones to more independent adults. Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I know that each one has their own unique personality and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to whatever makes your pet feel safest and happiest, whether that’s playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their routine. I’m currently a student at Columbia University, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-ins and house sitting. I’m also happy to help with small extras like watering plants while you’re away. I’m open to last-minute bookings whenever possible—just send me a message, and we can find a time that works! I’d love to help make your time away stress-free, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. I am a full time student at Columbia, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am specifically looking for opportunities to pet sit over the summer when I will have the most availability, allowing me to stop by as often as you would want me to. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to their routines, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, getting in plenty of playtime, or just providing calm companionship. I’m experienced with different personalities and energy levels, so I adapt to what each pet needs. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or extra patience I am here for it. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority.

I could not be happier with Sara! This was my first time having a non-family member watch my dog while I was out of town and I was so nervous about it. I looked at a lot of options before deciding on Sara and am so glad I did - Sara stayed at my place and with Sasha for two weeks. She took such wonderful careful of Sasha and sent me multiple pictures and updates every day. Sasha clearly loved her and Sara treated her like her own, making me feel so at ease and letting me enjoy my vacation without worrying about her. On top of that, she left my apartment just as clean as I left it. I will definitely be using Sara in the future and am so relieved to have found someone I can trust! Could not recommend Sara more.

Emily is amazing! She was extremely communicative, asked questions if anything was unclear or she was unsure, and provided constant updates and photos and videos. You can tell she truly loves caring for dogs and treats them like they’re her own. She also takes amazing photos. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!

Allen was very patient with Major (as was Bean, Allen’s Goldendoodle). He achieved what I thought was impossible: he tired my boy out! They spent a lot of time outside (taking him for walks and bike rides) and quality cuddle times. When my flight was delayed, Allen was very flexible about staying late until I arrived. For my first time leaving Major, he was in great hands with Allen. I got the pics and vids to prove it!

This was our second time booking Alice and Ethan to watch Mango, and we honestly couldn't ask for better sitters! We were away in Ireland for our wedding, and having them look after Mango gave us total peace of mind. Alice and Ethan were incredibly proactive and efficient at figuring out Mango’s needs whenever anything came up. They sent constant updates and were so patient with his initially shy personality. They were also super prompt with his feeding schedule and medical needs, including his inhaler. Mango was so incredibly happy the entire time. We are so glad to have found them and cannot recommend them highly enough!

Anxhela is incredible. My dog is usually very anxious, but he warmed up to her almost instantly — something that never happens. She kept me updated the entire time and was so communicative and responsive. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and has a special ability to connect with them, which gave me so much comfort while I was away. I came home to a spotless apartment, thoughtful touches, and even a sweet card. She truly went above and beyond and I can't recommend her enough.
