“I had a really great experience boarding Leo at Bhavani’s home! From the moment I sent her a request for boarding, I felt completely at ease. Bhavani has a calm, nurturing energy and a true love for animals that shows in everything she does. Her home is set up perfectly for dogs—safe, clean, and full of cozy spots and open space for play. It’s such a comforting alternative to a traditional kennel. My dog settled in quickly and was treated like a part of her family the entire time. What really stood out was the personal attention Bhavani gave. She took the time to understand my dog’s routines and personality, and she kept me updated with sweet messages and photos during the stay. It meant the world to know he was not only well cared for, but also genuinely loved. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. I’m so grateful we found Bhavani and wouldn’t hesitate to leave him in her care again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a home-based, heart-centered boarding experience!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Natalia and her husband! They were truly exceptional sitters for our dog, Sai. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. Natalia sent us daily updates, complete with photos, showing us all the fun activities Sai was enjoying—from walks to outings at the dog park. It was clear Sai was having the time of his life! When Sai experienced a minor GI upset, they handled it with such care and professionalism, following our instructions perfectly. They showed genuine compassion and concern, which meant the world to us. It's rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, and Natalia and her husband did just that. When we picked Sai up, it was obvious he had bonded with Natalia and saw her as part of his family. He was looking at her like he was going to miss his new friend, which truly warmed our hearts. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and highly recommend Natalia to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and attentive environment for their pets. Thank you both for going above and beyond for Sai!”
“We would like to thank Stacia for taking very good care of our Niko. We was very nervous about leaving him in a stranger care, but she was great with him, and she made us feel very comfortable from the meet/ greet and the daily messages, photos and videos.”
“Lucas & Katherine took amazing care of our fur baby. It was our first time leaving her for such a long period of time, we were happy that Coco was so well taken care of. They kept us posted sending us pictures and videos of our Coco. Thank you so much Lucas and Katherine for being so AMAZING!!!”
“I 100% recommend Dhruvit and his amazing family! They’re super friendly and incredibly patient with dogs — you can really feel how much they care. From the start, they were happy to set up a meet and greet so we could get to know each other, which made us feel very comfortable right away. Elsa had the best time staying with them — she was happy and well taken care of the whole time! Dhruvit sent us lots of photos and always replied really quickly, which made us feel super reassured. He also paid close attention to Elsa’s habits and followed all our instructions perfectly. Elsa is a super high-energy dog who needs lots of exercise, and Dhruvit made sure she got plenty of walks and playtime every day. We’re so glad we found them! They’re truly wonderful people, and we’d definitely love to book with them again in the future.”
“Jack was so excited to visit with Jacqueline! He was well taken care of and played with his new pals. Very looking forward to his next adventure with her! Thank you for the pictures and videos! Definitely gave us a sense of comfort to see our Jack!”
“Jia took great care of our cat while we were away for a week. She made sure he was comfortable and entertained. He seems to have had a good time! We also got daily updates. We’d highly recommend Jia as a cat sitter.”
About: My experience with pets stems from growing around them. It was my responsibility to make sure they were upkept. This is why it feels natural for me to include them in my life. I'm currently working from home and would like some pets in the house while I work for emotional support. I treat animals very well and they naturally love my energy. I live in a safe and secure location that is pet friendly. We also have a dog park and plenty of space to take care of your pet.
“They did such a wonderful job with both of my girls! They were treated like family from the first meet and great. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and I’m excited to continue to trust them with my dogs in the future.”
About: I have extensive experience with taking care of cats and dogs as I have always had animals in my home. Currently I have two cats and three turtles. I also work for an animal food pantry where we provide free pet food to senior citizens and low income families. I also take care of multiple cat colonies near my home and have built shelters for them! I currently am working 4 days in person in New York City but am free Thursday afternoon, all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This will be changing in August and I will be available all day Wednesday, Thursday and the weekend! I have a fenced yard and a pool if your dog likes to go swimming! I also have a fenced dog park near my home where I can take them if they are friendly with other dogs. My cats are very friendly but if needed I can separate them as I have the space in my home to do so!
“Rupali was great! She sent me lots of pictures and videos of our doggy Oreo. Oreo had to unexpectedly take some medication during his stay and Rupali took care of everything so well. Rupali’s family and dog were also so welcoming and loving to our dog. It really felt like Oreo joined their family during his stay.”
“Katie was great!!! She was super accommodating and watched my dog for about 11 days who isn’t dog friendly and typically doesn’t like men. I was super impressed that she has her home prepared to take care of dogs. I felt assured when I saw that she had a full door sized gate at the top of her stairs so that her dog and my dog are safely separated. I got pictures often to see how he was doing. My dog is a cuddle bug in which he got plenty of cuddles with Katie. I will totally reach out to her again. Thanks again Katie!”

Courtney & Sherwood L. The best sitters EVER! It can be tough to trust your pet to anyone you’re just meeting but Courtney & Sherwood L. and family, took amazing care of my dog and he came home happy and well cared for. Can’t thank them enough! I will use them again and again. I highly recommend them!
We don’t often use a pet sitter, but of the services we’ve tried, Katie was by far the best. She took wonderful care of our dog, Eve, while we were away for two weeks. Katie kept us updated regularly, responded promptly to any questions, and even sent us great photos of Eve enjoying her own little “vacation” at her house. Thank you so much, Katie, for your outstanding service—we look forward to working with you again the next time we travel!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience boarding our dog! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he was in caring and capable hands. What truly set Rupali apart was her proactive communication—we received thoughtful updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dog returned home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy to find someone who treats your pet like family, but she absolutely did. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and professional caregiver. This is someone you can trust without hesitation, and we’re so grateful to have found her!
Thank you so much Marissa for making Smores feel At home the best way you could , tho his anxiety took over his personality you were so patient with him that he was a bit better towards the end of his stay with you . Thank you again also with your guidance and professionalism throughout your service, along with great communication. Truly appreciate you ❤️
Thank you so much for taking good care of my babies. I have to french bulldogs this is the 1st time using Rover and I was very worried at first but Natti and her family made me feel at ease. She’s great at communicating and making sure of giving me updates everyday. She also send me pictures and daily routine of Rambo and Rocky with their daily behavior which led me to feel comfortable, knowing that they were doing everything they usually do. Thank you.
Jeanine is a great sitter and communicates really well . Our Neo came home very happy. We had to modify our booking due to disruption in our plan and Jeanine was so kind to understand and accommodate our request. I would definitely choose Jeanine next time we need a sitter for Neo.
I had my dog boarded with Mr Sudesh recently, they made her feel at home and sent me a lot of pictures of her enjoying and chilling with their dog. I would definitely recommend him and would love to board mine with him in the future. Thanks for treating her with love and care, really appreciate it.
Laura took amazing care of our high-energy Samoyed girl during an extended visit of 3 weeks. Her family and her pets bonded well with our dog and welcomed her into the family. She regularly sent me pictures and videos during the stay, and I could tell she was having so much fun! I also appreciated how thoughtful Laura was regarding our dog's care instructions and schedule. I highly recommend working with Laura! She truly goes above and beyond and has such a passion for animals.
