Gabriella is wonderful! It was the first time leaving my dog with a house sitter, and Gabriella did everything and then some to make sure he was at ease the entire time. He loved the company, and I will be using Gabriella's services again!

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate Kimberly’s communication and reliability. I hate leaving my girls, and this trip was relatively unexpected and a requirement, so finding someone reliable that will love my girls as much as I do was incredibly important. I found that in Kimberly. She knew I was anxious about leaving them and she made sure to check in with multiple pics and an update a couple times a day. I highly recommend Kimberly for all pet sitting needs.

Simply put, Joey was outstanding, both with his care of Pablo as well as management of our home while staying here. As a person, he’s a young man of high integrity who is kind, thoughtful, and detail oriented! He loves dogs; kept me posted with text and pics; and maintains a positive and loving temperament. He exceeded my expectations and would give him my highest recommendation!

About: Having two dogs of my own throughout my life and always helping in highschool, I have plenty of experience exercising and playing with pups of all breeds and sizes ! I am currently a full time student athlete at Columbia University home for the summer at my dads. However, should we be a better fit, I can always take a trip home on the weekends and have my own car ! I have my own dog I can bring should your puppy prefer company. I also live nearby to a dog park that we can visit if your fur baby needs a little bit of extra exercise ! Either way, we will have fun daily walks :)

Kya’s communication during setup and throughout my dog’s stay was excellent. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care, and when I returned, he was a happy boy with no signs of distress. I would gladly book with Kya again.

Susan is amazing. Our Lola is a little high maintenance and needs a lot of attention. Susan took such great care of her that she was sad to see her leave. We will request Susan in the future and hope that she is available.

I’m so grateful to have found Emma! I came to Rover with an unusual request: someone to stay at my home and care for my two baby goats… Emma not only accepted my unusual request, but she followed all their care instructions and went above and beyond to give them special attention and activity. It’s clear she’s a natural with animals and truly cared about my boys! She sent picture and video updates, which gave me such peace of mind for my first weekend away from them. She kept things neat and tidy and was simply the best! Thank you so much, Emma!

Alexis did a great job sitting for Pearl. She came to meet her and get oriented to the house ahead of time. She confirmed the booking quickly and followed up with a message the day before the job. Alexis took good care of our cat and kept us updated with texts and photos. She followed all instructions and left the house clean. I recommend hiring her!

About: Realizing how much your dog and /or cat means to you, I will do my very best to care for your pet as if it were my own. Over many years , neighbors , friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets in their house or with daily walks and playtime. In the last year or so I have begun charging for my services and realize I would like to make it my full time job as I enjoy it . I am new to the area and look forward to being busy dog walking/ pet sitting full time. I do not have any pets of my own right now. My 14 year old rescue pup passed 18months ago. I have experience taking care of senior dogs while living in other people’s homes. I am able to follow directions as far as meals/timing but also flexible enough to know when one must simply go with the flow.

Boryana took amazing care of our senior pitbull, Brady. She was very patient with his quirks and eccentricities (e.g. he has acquired a habit of lying down for rests mid-walk). He often seems a little out of sorts after we come back from a long trip, but this time he was very relaxed and happy. Communication was top notch and our house was left in perfect condition. We can't recommend Boryana highly enough, and hope she'll be available to take care of Brady again in the future!

Andrew house sat our two dogs for a little over a week. One of our dogs is pretty shy and slow to warm up, but in just a few days she seemed totally happy with Andrew there. He was great about keeping us updated and we knew the dogs were in good hands. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a dogsitter!

Chase was great with our cat and dog! When we first met him I could tell that he had good energy, as my cat went up to him right away. He was very responsive the whole trip and sent us updates multiple times a day. Our pets warmed up to him very quickly. We needed someone who could care for both cats and dogs and Chase was great as he has owned both before. We came home to a clean house and happy pets. Will be rebooking in the future!

Joey took amazing care of my kitten while I was away. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and healthy cat. I am SO grateful to know my little guy was in caring hands. Joey took care of all of his needs and went above and beyond by giving him lots of attention, care, and cozy vibes. They were great with communicating and sending pics-you can trust them with any of your pet needs. THANK YOU, JOEY!!
