“This was the longest we left our old man Gordon in a long time especially with someone he was unfamiliar with, and Jessica and her family did so great making our guy feel safe and at home! We will definitely book again. Thank you!”
“I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it was to have Bev. She was watching my dog during this last snow event and not only did she reassure me because I couldn’t get back in time (plane cancelled) that she would gladly keep her as long as needed she went to the store and bought more of her dog food as I didn’t send enough. I couldn’t ask for anything more. It certainly made me feel great that my dogs care was one less thing I had to worry about. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars.”
“Michael was great! Our one dog has anxiety issues and is VERY wary of men. He made up to Michael in just a few minutes! Both dogs were relaxed and made themselves at home quickly. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely bring them back to Michael's. Stress free for us AND our pups and none of the guilt of a kennel!”
“Very lovely, sent pictures and kept me updated the whole time while I was away. I felt very relaxed knowing my dog was safe and with a trusting person. Would 100% recommend and 100% use again. Thank you Martrice you were wonderful!”
“I am beyond happy with Kelly. She took such good care of Molly. I received pictures everyday and Molly always looked so happy. Will definitely be using Kelly again to take care of Molly.”
“Monica took care of our two pups while we were in town to catch the Bills game. She was super responsive and sent us photos updates regularly and was very accomodating of our plans. We truly appreciated her being so flexible and great!”
“This could not have been a better experience!! Heather and Joe were so kind and clearly took great care of my pup! He even came home with a cute picture their son made for him. Communication was great! They sent updates and pictures so I could see how much my dog enjoyed his stay with them.”
“Kiara & Yves, did such an amazing job with my little kitty. She was so well cared for and the sitter was super responsive sending many nice updates and photos of Lottie. I would recommend their services to anyone who was looking for a sitter!”
“As always, Jennifer and Brent were great with Copper. He loves them and gets very excited when we are entering their home and he realizes where he is going. They are always great with him and flexible with his stay times which we really appreciate. Thanks, Guys!”
“This was our first time using Rover and our first time being away from our dog Nora, so we were feeling a little nervous. Naomi and Sam were the perfect choice. They were very accommodating and put us at ease with updates and photos of Nora and Brady having the best time together. We will definitely be using their services again.”
“Rusty was clearly very happy when my husband and I picked him up, we could see in his eyes that he had a great calm time around sierra and her husband. We would definitely consider doggy sitting with them again 🥰”
“Anna was amazing and sooo very helpful! When a family member couldn’t watch out pups only a week before our trip she was able to take them all on that short notice. Not only that but she was genuinely excited to meet our pack as well. My wife and I were nervous as this was the first time 2 of our pups would be away from us and the other 2 would be away from us for more than a day. We couldn’t be happier and either could the pups. They came home happy, healthy and exhausted which was nice so we couldn’t also recuperate. Now that we have a trustworthy sitter we’ll be going away more than 1 time every ten years. Thank you Anna for everything!”
“Thanks Stephanie for taking such good care of our little Lexi. It was obvious by the videos you sent to us that she really enjoyed her stay with you. We are happy to know that we will have such a welcoming place to leave her in the future if the need arises. Anne & Jorg Seitz”
“Anna was very communicative during Barleys stay. She sent pictures videos and updates. Her dog Pepper and Barley got alone famously. Anna was also accommodating for some slight time changes we need. We have already booked again.”
“Jamie is just amazing with our two Belgian/German Shepherds! Her big heart, lovely home, and fun yard kept them so content and relaxed during their first overnight stay away from home in years. Looking forward to future stays!”
“My pup is very attached to me and leaving him is difficult because I know he misses us but Deanna and Chris treated my pup like their own family and were wonderful, attentive, loving, and kind. They go above and beyond to make sure your fur baby is loved while you are away. They truly love animals and care for them like their own. I highly recommend them for anyone who needs to leave their fur baby for a period of time.”
“First time my young dog stayed at a private home, and so there were an issue or two. Vidya dealt with them like a pro. She kept me informed and sent photos so I knew my dog was smiling and having fun.”
“Noelle did an amazing job caring for our dog, Max, overnight! She took the time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand, which made us feel very comfortable and confident leaving him in her care. She showed Max so much love, patience, and attention, and it was clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches. I highly recommend her services and will definitely continue using her in the future!”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ridgewood home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ridgewood.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Ridgewood sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
