“Deibi and Tiffany took wonderful care of my two dogs over a long weekend. I received detailed updates, photos, and videos everyday. Tiffany was super responsive and she’s so kind! My dogs didn’t want to leave!!!”
“Sanaz was so great for agreeing to watch Roscoe last minute. She sent update photos and messages every day. He also was in such a happy mood when I went to pick him up. Will definitely be requesting her again in the near future.”
“Thanks Onelsis! Really appreciate you taking care of Boy again! Everything went so smoothly with lots of communication! Look forward to working with you again soon! Thanks, Anna”
“FIVE STARS!! I had some somewhat last-minute travel changes come up and Patrice was available and super-communicative. Usually I have the same sitters so I was a little bit nervous (mostly after some back-and-forth with other potential sitters, it's a bit of a wild ride on Rover last minute HUH?!), we met and my pup got to meet Patrice's pups and get comfortable in their space. It was so appreciated to take the time to do that. NOT ONLY that but she worked around my pup's feeding and walking schedule, AND even offered to make homemade food when we ran out (my fault, last-minute!!). Betty had a GREAT time at Patrice's - the photos and videos were SO reassuring while away. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Anna was AMAZING! She took incredible care of our 10 month old pup while we were on vacation. She gave us updates every day and truly gave our dog Harley her own vaca. We will definitely be booking with Anna again! Thank you!!!! 💕💖”
“Chandni & Isaac took amazing care of Carla. They are truly wonderful to work with, who are reliable, kind, and loves animals. They updated me with photos every day. I can tell my cat was so happy & well-loved. She was very comfortable staying at their place. Wonderful experience all around & happy to have found great cat sitter! Highly recommend!”
“Ethel is incredibly kind and handled our very large and high energy dog with ease. She provided consistent updates accompanied by photos and videos of our dog playing and having the time of his life. Our dog got so much exercise with Ethel and her golden, and was dropped off happy and exhausted. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Elizabeth was incredibly communicative throughout the entire week we were away. She sent daily photos and updates, and it was clear that Edison was very well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone we feel completely comfortable leaving him with during longer trips!”
“Adam was awesome. Charlie and I met Adam before his stay. Adam was communicative, flexible and attentive. I highly recommend Adam to watch your fur baby and I will be using Adam when I need him to watch Charlie again.”
“Jennifer was great with Wonton. I could tell he was extremely happy with the pictures and videos she consistently sent. I wouldn’t hesitate to board wonton with Jennifer again.”
“Heather and Noah took great care of Inky. They made her feel at home and gave her plenty of walks and much requested butt scratches! Heather sent us lots of pictures and updated us daily. Would be very happy to have our dog board with her again.”
“Heather was great with my Rikki and he had so much fun! He had lots of attention, play time, and came home happy and tuckered out. I'm a nervous dog mom and felt completely secure with Rikki in Heather's care.”
“Angelique was a lifesaver. She took care of our sweet boy while we were away for the weekend. She was so attentive and communicative when he had unexpected stomach issues and made sure our boy was well taken care of. Truly appreciate her and could not recommend more highly!”
“Stella is amazing!! This was the first time we were leaving Norman for longer than a weekend so we were a bit nervous knowing he’s a high energy dog. Stella kept us updated every day with a mini recap of videos and pictures. She made sure he got enough exercise and play time throughout the day as well as stimulation. We were so appreciative of her helpful tips and thoughtfulness throughout his stay including giving him enrichment toys, lots of outside time, and maintaining some training habits. Her dog Koukla is also incredible and Norman had the best time playing with her (although I’m sure she is excited for some quiet time back). We couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“Can’t say enough nice things about Maria. She took great care of our Husky-Akita (Lily). Sent us photos and video updates of their adventures while we were out of town, and coined a few new nicknames for our fur child during her stay. She’s thorough in the questions she asks about the dogs she takes in, spends the time to get to know them and makes sure everyone is comfortable. 5/5 🐾.”
“David and his partner were amazing with my Tater :) They know so much about rescue dogs and helped with his anxiety while I was away. This is the longest I’ve been away from Tater and they helped me too by sending lots of pictures and updates on him! Highest of recommendations! Thank you again!!! Such a wonderful experience!”
“Anky was an outstanding sitter for my French bulldog! She gave very deliberate care. I was very thoughtful and the instructions for feeding and walking my dog. She’s very consistent and punctual with communication, and I always felt like my dog was in his happy place. I would definitely recommend booking with her, I look forward to doing the same in the future.”
“Tiffany and Joel are the best! Me and my wife were visiting NY for a concert and didn’t really plan where we will leave our pet. We found Tiffany and Joel last minute and they were really accommodating , flexible and took a great care of our little putty! We will definitely use Tiffany and Joel if we visit NY next time!”
“We boarded our dog chuco with Meilin and couldn’t be happier with the experience! She was super communicative- sending us daily updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were abroad. Chuco absolutely LOVED her. He is a bit shy but he warmed up to her right away and was so happy and relaxed in every photo. She was also very sweet with him and clearly made him feel safe and loved. Highly recommend and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

This was the first time I left Maxine with a sitter instead of family or friends, and it was a great experience. I felt comfortable with Sanaz, even after the first meet and greet. She communicated regularly and sent photos, reassuring me that Maxine was well cared for - allowing me to have a great weekend away.
Ziyao and her mom took wonderful care of Poke and treated him like family during his stay. They kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Poke received lots of love, attention, and care. Would highly recommend Ziyao to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Grace was amazing with Joey! He was clearly happy and well cared for. We loved receiving lots of photos and videos of him having a great time. We also had to unexpectedly extend our booking, and Grace was incredibly helpful and accommodating. We’re very grateful for her care and would highly recommend her!
I had an amazing experience with Sophia as the caretaker for Sasha, my Malinois Belgian Shepherd. She took phenomenal care of her—great communication all the way through. Every day, she sent me videos and pictures from their walks, which really gave me peace of mind. She kept Sasha active and happy, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend her services
Christina was AMAZING! She took great care of our baby especially administering his medicine. She sent pictures and updates the entire time. She made sure he was loved and cuddled as well. I could tell Olly fell in love with her during his stay. Highly highly recommend Christina!! Will be using her again in the future ❤️
Kecia was fantastic! She is so welcoming, cheerful, and easy to talk to. From the first day I met her, I felt completely comfortable leaving my dogs with her. The backyard was a huge plus, and it was clear my dogs were happy and well cared for during their stay. Knowing they were with someone so kind and attentive gave me real peace of mind while I was away. So many good morning and good night updates while I was away for two days! I am so grateful I found Kecia and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!!!!
