“Thank you, Mindy for keeping Embie company ALL weekend. Your being available for staying overnights with her and spending the days with her were very reassuring for her…and us! Embie sure did bond with you instantly. I know she will be happy to see you again, the next time we need to be away. Thanks again! Don and Cindy Ehre”


2. Gabriella C.

“Gabriella was an absolute lifesaver! I got stuck out of town for 3 more days due to winter storms and cancelled flights and she was so helpful and accommodating. The dogs are always so happy when I get back and she sends plenty of pics and updates. Thank you Gabriella!!”


3. Riley J.

“Riley was great and paid special attention to our cat less than a week after he had a medical procedure. She provided updates and made sure he got the attention and love that he needed while my kids and I were gone. I would 100% recommend and look forward to future bookings!!”


4. Olivia B.

“Olivia was everything we could ask for in a sitter. She watched our 8 month old Aussie and kitty for a weekend and at no point did I worry about how things were going. She is very knowledgeable about Aussies as she has them herself, which added another layer of comfort for me. She also shoveled our driveway for us, as she had been there during a major snowstorm. Her willingness to help out made our arrival back home so easy. We were welcomed with the sweetest note she had written us about the weekend as well. We will DEFINITELY be hiring her for our future sitting needs!♥️”


5. Kali C.
“Kali will care for your fur baby like she was one of her nephews!! She is very kind, loving and attentive and will make you feel comforted with how much she cares for your pet. She is reliable, professional and will quickly become one of your pet’s favorite people! Who’s a good human??? Kali is!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life. Ive had dogs that ive raised from birth which includes feeding, bathing, trimming, walking, and teaching. I even made my dogs food for the week every week instead of buying kibble. So I thought why not help and do something I love and walk some doggos! I work full time in management so my days do change every week, but, i do plan ahead so ill be able to list my hours that I am available. Mornings and nights are the best times but feel free to reach out to me anytime with any questions I currently don't have a space to be able to house any companion. For the time being. If needed I have my bedroom to for a resting point (and away form the sun). Your pet will not be left unattended and with me the whole time =)


7. Dennis B.

“Dennis was able to accommodate our needs, very last minute. He was responsive and flexible. Dennis is very friendly, the pups took to him right away. I will be scheduling again the next time we are in the area!”


8. Jessica F.

“Jess did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 dogs while we were away. She kept us updated and is always responsive. Definitely recommend and will be using her in the future for our dog sitting needs!”


9. Paola C.
“I have known Paola for many years, she will be a great dog sitter. Paola is kind, loving and dependable. Paola loves dogs and will be a great addition to the company.”


10. Alex M.

“Alex was great Remington loved him Boxer’s can be a little temperamental but he liked Alex right away Alex did an excellent job keeping me informed and sent pictures of Remington”


11. Nina J.

“Nina watched our two dogs after we had a last minute trip. She was very accommodating and understanding the entire time as our plans kept changing. The dogs seemed to like her, and she wasn't shy about giving them commands (like not letting one of our dogs jump on her) which we appreciate. Additionally, she left the house clean and tidy! I definitely recommend Nina.”


12. Gregory C.
About: I’ve had my own pets or taken care of pets belonging to family and friends for most of my life. I recently retired and am looking to fill my time and make a little money in the process. I’m an Army veteran and worked for NY State for 27 years. My Gizmo passed away 2 years ago. I’m unable to have my own pet right now due to my living situation so the next best thing is to help others and be around their pets. I’m retired and available most days and evenings when I’m not bowling or traveling to visit family. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I can’t have pets in my current residence but I am available to stop in for a walk or a potty break for your pets. I’m also available to stay in your home for short or long term boarding.


13. Madelyn F.

“Maddie was great! Very reliable and wonderful with my pups!”


14. Jordan C.
About: I strive to care for all animals with love and compassion! I’ve taken care of both small and large breed dogs for friends and family for several years. I bring love and connection and with every dog I care for. I treat your fur baby like family—showering them with affection, attention, and respect for their unique personality and needs. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs, and I tailor my care to match their energy levels, routines, and quirks. I work full-time 8–5, but I’m available for morning and evening visits, walks, and plenty of weekend care. I make sure each visit is full of love, attention, and care, just like I would want for my own! When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I keep doors locked, follow all instructions closely, and treat your home with respect. Whether it’s a walk, a feeding, or just some quality playtime, I’m there to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved!

18. Susan L.

“Susan took excellent care of our dog, two cats, and home while we were away for a long weekend. She was communicative, caring, and very thoughtful. Highly recommend!”


19. Cynthia E.
About: I would love to be there for your friend when you can not be. Living with my best friend Peanut a Bichon I know how important it is to ensure our animal friends are in the best care. I don't know what I'd do without him. I am an animal rights advocate and love our little furry angels so much that I am caring for them full time now. I am self employed and am adding this to my artist work. This makes it possible for me to work around others schedules as best as I can or even for a last minute sitting need. I don't leave my dog outside alone and would do the same with yours. I consider dogs as toddlers in a way smart but needing guidance and protection to keep them safe. I can accommodate any requests for in your home, for outings, and for boarding at my house. I have one dog living with me now and would separate them if there was any issues. Peanut is very playful at a year and a half and not aggressive.


20. Rachel S.

“Stayed several days with our pups in our home. Followed our instructions well. Cleaned up after herself and took excellent care of our two dogs. Will definitely use her services again if we go on a trip. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.”
