Merin was AMAZING!! I really felt Moose was being well taken care of and left me with such peace of mind while on vacation. She was super thorough, gave constant updates, and reached out with any questions/concerns. Hands down we found our go to sitter which is the best feeling knowing I have someone to trust to take care of Moose when I need a little R&R! Thank you!!

Ian and Clementina were great with Tripp, from taking him to the dog park to letting him join all their errands. I really appreciated the prompt communication and daily photo updates — Tripp was comfortable and rolling over for belly rubs almost instantly with them!

We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received. From the moment we left, we had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and capable hands. They went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for, while keeping us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay

Hands down the best sitter we’ve had in New York so far. Renzo was very attentive to the instructions we gave for Louna. He and his wife gave her so much love and attention, and sent us so many beautiful pictures and videos daily, that not at once were we worried for our baby. They made us feel more than comfortable to have her with them and there is no doubt we have found Loulou’s new sitter. Thank you Renzo!!!

Michael was great! Ozzy stayed there for a few nights and seemed happy via the updates. He was in great health and seemed comfortable. Michael did a great job with making sure Ozzy adjusted appropriately, giving him his medication and going out of his way to make sure he ate his food as he acclimated. Appreciate the care!

I would absolutely leave Chico with her again He was very happy when he came back home, he definitely had a good time :)

I’ve asked Vera to look after Haru a couple of times, and she treated him with the same love and care as if he were part of her own family. Thanks to her, I was able to travel with complete peace of mind. I’d love to ask for her help again next time, and if anyone nearby is looking for a dog sitter, I highly recommend her.

Anky is one of a kind, she's the best dog walker and sitter I've had the pleasure to work with by far. She has great attention to detail, puntuality, diligence and kindness. Most importantly you can tell immediatly she does love animals and truly enjoys taking care of dogs. The moment I left little Trufa with her I knew she would be in good hands. Couldn't recommend more!!

Hands down, Angie is the best dog sitter! I had to be away from my dog Benji for 24 long days, which in general, it's hard to be away from our fur babies for any length of time, but I knew he would be in great hands with Angie and put any worries I had at ease. She kept me updated daily with videos and pictures (she is an amazing photographer btw) she gave him lots of cuddles, care and treats and even taught him some new really cool tricks! She walked him daily, followed my instructions of his everyday routines and took him to really cool places in the city and even the beach! She even helped me by taking him to his grooming appointment! He really had the best time with Angie and I know he felt super loved and got spoiled the whole time. I would highly recommend Angie to anyone that needs a sitter for their fur baby. She really cares about her client's and their dogs and it shows! I will definitely be using Angie for future pet-sitting needs.

Leaving your dog with someone is ultimately an act of trust. Caren made that trust easy. She is warm, attentive, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Freud with her and beautiful Theo again. I would wholeheartedly recommend Caren to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog as if they were her own. Thank you, Caren. Freud has already asked when he’s coming back, he woofs you 🐾

Nicole was incredible with our two dogs (an energetic italian greyhound and an anxious dachshound). I had never used Rover so i thought my dogs would be nervous, however, they seemed so happy and calm with Nicole. She sent pictures often and they were always cuddled up with her. I would 1000% recommend her to any of my friends with dogs. She’s trustworthy and so sweet with the pups. Thanks Nicole!!!!
