“Jeff provided an amazing experience for our dog, Vinnie. We received pictures each day , allowing us to feel comfortable and know Vinnie was in good hands. He is nurturing, kind, and very experienced. The accommodations for the pups were top notch and we are happy to have this option for Vinnie going forward. Thank you Jeff!”
“I cannot overstate how amazing Cherissa and her family were. They loved and took care of my dog like he was their own. I got pictures and updates every day and she was so flexible which helped us out so much. I was nervous to leave my dog with anyone because we’ve had bad experiences with boarding facilities but he was so happy the entire time he was with her and came back happy and exhausted from 4 days of playing. I would absolutely bring him back to her if I ever needed a sitter again. She is the best!!!”
“Maria, her mom and her sisters were absolute angels taking care of our 9 m/o Golden Retriever, Finn - as a puppy he is so energetic and very strong so it definitely is not an easy task keeping him occupied but Maria was so patient with him and really gave him the best attention he's ever had! Plus the daily pics and videos were so enjoyable to receive. Will definitely use her again!!”

“Mildred and her family were incredibly wonderful to Luna and to me! They lived her like their own, and even fell IN love with her! I had lots of pictures from her even showing her lying on of the beds being pet. Luna is anxious and they either with her to warm up, there are two couples in the house and her son and they all take care of the dogs. What a wonderful place to leave your pup.”
“Amruta is very easy to work with. We needed a last minute care for our dog for a day. Great and prompt with communications. Very kind and sweet. Will definitely keep her in our sitter’s short list.”

“Absolute peace of mind through the entire experience. This was only the third time with a sitter and second boarding my Whiskey dog overnight; but never have I felt as content as when he was with Judy, her wonderful family & beautiful home. Was able to completely enjoy my vacation knowing he was cared for as one of her own. I really can’t thank her enough for what that contentment was worth to me. To top it off she’s so nice!! Had pushed the date forward a day at the last minute, she was totally understanding and went with the flow. Just thank you!!!! I know Whiskey dog misses his new friends already =^_^=”
About: Hi. My name is Kiki and I love dogs!! I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I was a manager at a cage-free dog daycare for 5 years, where I handled everything from group play supervision to administering medications and managing daily care routines. I also volunteered for 3 years at Second Chance Dog Rescue, helping with socialization, walking, and basic training. In addition, I’ve provided trusted pet sitting services in Peekskill, NY for 5 years until the family relocated. I’m trained in pet CPR, comfortable administering all types of medications, and have a dog of my own—so I truly understand how important it is to find someone reliable and compassionate to care for your pets. I have a car, am highly dependable, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Although I work full-time and attend school, I have large daily time blocks available between commitments, which I dedicate to pet sitting, walking, and drop-in visits I care for every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while following their regular routine, my skills are administering medications, and giving personalized attention. Every pet has a specific personality so I try to respect that much like people.
“Couldn't be happier with the care Cristian gave my dogs! He is incredibly nice, accommodating and fantastic with the dogs. He gave regular updates with my dogs on walks and they came back healthy and happy. Highly recommend for anyone looking to take care of their dogs when away.”
“Thayla was an outstanding dog sitter! She kept me updated regularly about Khloe, and was always quick to respond to messages, which gave me great peace of mind. Khloe warmed up to her immediately, and I could see how much Thayla genuinely cares for animals. She made sure to stick to Khloe’s routine. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book her again!”
“I had never left my dog Deuce with anyone other than family in the 10 years I have had her. I was nervsous, but Deuce has a fabulous time at Donna's Doggy Den. Donna went above and beyone what was expected. Donna admistered medication once a day for Deuce. Deuce was taken to Mutt Madness ( dog festival) on Saturday with her lab Ralphie and a dog park on Sunday. Ralphie was a good friend to Deuce. Donna took multiple pictures and videos for me to see while I was out of town. It was so nice being able to see how happy she was while I was gone. I could tell Deuce was loved and spoiled while she was there. Deuce came home happy and healthy. She is 11 years old, so she was also TIRED but I can tell she had a blast! I would recommend Donna's Doggy Den to everyone!”
“❤️😳🙌I dropped my puppy Malinois off with Angel for 5 days. She came back happy, and better behaving when I picked her up. I can tell a lot af attention was given to her and she was treated well. A Puppy Malinois not the easiest dog to handle… Angel is definitely a dog whisperer 🙏🏻✨”
“Nayeli was great! Excellent communications and expectations. We did a meet and greet to make sure Rosie and her pups got along. She was attentive to Rosie's needs and personality quirks, and sent lovely updates that were very reassuring. Will definitely book again!”
“Stephanie took amazing care of my two older pups. Her home was welcoming, and her pets had a blast with their new playmates while we were out of town, Stephanie provided consistent updates and photos, we were able to relax and enjoy our getaway knowing they were in good hands. I will definitely be returning!”
“Myla was wonderful! From start to finish it was a joy to work with her. We felt immediately comfortable leaving our Bessie with her. She sent us updates and pictures, and it look like our girl was having the time of her life! I would absolutely recommend her and we will be using her in the future!! 5 stars!!!!”

Judging by her reluctance to leave Mildred’s, my dog really enjoyed her stay there. She had fun playing in the fenced-in yard with Mildred’s dogs & seemed very comfortable with Mildred & her family. Mildred kept me posted with photos & messages while I was away. Great stay - thank you, Mildred!
Nayeli took amazing care of our pup while we were away for the weekend. Super responsive and attentive, she provided many photo updates throughout the weekend, showing us our furry friend and all the care and attention he was receiving. Would absolutely recommend.
Catherine was so wonderful with our 2 dogs. We had never left our pups with anyone and we were a bit worried. Catherine kept in touch and sent pictures which really helped ease our mind. The dogs were so comfortable with her and I will definitely use her again if needed.
SO THRILLED we found Natalie!! We needed to find a reliable sitter to leave our sweet boy with while going on vacation. Natalie seemed like the perfect match and we were not wrong. Our dog needs to be boarded alone and has some quirks and anxieties while outside. Natalie was great with our dog’s needs and behavior. We received updates daily with a few pictures to help us stayed connected while we were gone. When we picked ip Nacho, he seemed so comfortable and happy to be there with Natalie. We are so lucky we found Natalie and will be booking with her again.
We were worried about leaving our nervous dog with anyone while we went away for a few days. Yaletsy was available and we felt pretty good about her after reading her bio and seeing pics of her and the dogs she’s sat for. As I drove away from dropping off Cuddles, I was a bit worried because he had never spent time away from us overnight and especially at a strangers home. It didn’t take long before we received some cute pics and updates to let us know what was going on with him. He was indeed nervous. Yaletsy asked us some questions about what might make him more comfortable so we shared some of the insight we had with our pup. Within a short period Cuddles was comfortable enough to go on a walk, have some dinner and relax with Yaletsy. Constant updates and pics made us realize that he was indeed cared for. We are so happy that we came in contact with her and had such a great experience. I know many people are hesitant to drop off their pets with someone they haven’t met but we know now that a great connection was made and we will be comfortable in asking her to help Cuddles again. We will definitely call on Yaletsy in the near future. She is a wonderful, kind and patient person more than capable of caring for your pup.
