“Outstanding sitter!!!! George was amazingly great! He was very flexible, caring and helpful throughout our whole trip to Brooklyn. We stayed at at an RV Campsite that was switching us between their locations and George accommodated those changes kindly and easily. George helped us tremendously by taking care of our sweet old lady’s needs which gave us the opportunity to be worry free for her care while enjoying the visit to the Big Apple. Highly recommend George for your sitter needs. We will definitely look for him again anytime we come back to visit Brooklyn, NY”
“Symba is the kindest and our senior girls love him. He’s very gentle with them and always greets them (and says good bye) with so much affection. Hes also very helpful with keeping up with their training and giving them treats after saying commands.”
“Jules watched my dog Uma for 2 weeks while I was away, walking her 2x a day without a hiccup. I really appreciate the photos and videos!! Excellent dog walker, trustworthy, and all-around awesome person :)”
About: I’ve been in dog rescue before since 2018 back in Houston, I’ve taken care and trained with reactive dogs, fearful dogs, puppies and medical cases. Mornings with the dogs start at 6am, we usually go for a thirty minute walk or in the back to the dog park in my building. I always have a crate in case and dog gates and have dog proof my home. Always have the tv or music on for them.
“Alexander is extremely professional, courteous and excellent with Blues. I recommend Alexander if you are looking for a real professional to look after your pet. He is definitely my number one Rover for Blues.”
“Jazz was great with Nala and I’ll definitely rebook with her for future walks. Jazz recommended a meet and greet before the walk which helped Nala get comfortable with her while Jazz got to know Nala’s habits. Jazz is sweet, kind, and caring. Huge thank you to her for taking care of Nala!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention my dog Sage receives from Asher! He comes three times a week, always on time, and is so reliable. It’s clear that he truly cares about Sage’s well-being, paying close attention to her needs, whether it’s her energy level or favorite spots for a walk. I love seeing the adorable selfies they take together—Sage is always so happy and clearly enjoying her time out. Asher is not just responsible and professional, but also super sweet and kind. I feel so lucky to have found someone who genuinely connects with my dog and treats her like family. Highly recommend!”
“adeline was incredible! she responded with such short notice and really helped me out when i needed it. she was attentive, communicative, and patient. i absolutely recommend her and felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of my lola!!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, literally since birth. My mom used to breed dogs and gift them to family and friends, so caring for puppies and seniors alike has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve raised and loved two incredible dogs of my own: my toy poodle, who lived to 15, and my Welsh Springer Spaniel, who made it to 13. They were the loves of my life, and I stayed by their sides through every stage, from their playful puppy days to their final moments. These experiences taught me patience, compassion, and the deep responsibility that comes with truly caring for an animal, not just feeding or walking them, but noticing the little changes, understanding their personalities, and making them feel safe and loved. Today, I also help care for my family’s 100+ pound English Golden Retriever, Rio, who’s as gentle as he is massive. Whether it’s wrangling a giant goofball, nurturing a fragile senior, or guiding a brand-new puppy, I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience, genuine empathy, and the belief that dogs deserve our unconditional love, always. 💕 I work freelance and consult remotely, which means my schedule is wide open, and I really miss having a dog around to keep me company! I don’t have the means right now to fairly give a pup a full-time home of my own, so caring for yours lets me enjoy all the best parts of having a furry best friend while giving them my full attention! That flexibility means more walks, more playtime, and more one-on-one love whenever they need it. ♥️ I know every pet, and every pet parent, is different - so I start with an open line of communication to learn your pup’s exact routine, quirks, and needs. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I follow your instructions to the letter, feeding schedules, walk times, medications: so your pet feels secure and cared for. In my home, pets have a safe, cozy space with fresh water, comfy spots for naps, and zero access to anything harmful. My yard time (yes, I have a private yard) is always supervised and fenced in! No exceptions on alone time outside - so they can sniff, play, or sunbathe while I keep them secure and happy! I often sunbathe with them! ☀️ In your home, I’m careful with doors, gates, and leashes, never leave pets in unsafe situations, and keep a close eye during walks and play. I also watch for changes in behavior, eating, or energy so I can update you right away. My goal is always the same: a safe, happy pet and total peace of mind for you. Let me know you and your pups needs, and I got you. 😊
“Rachel is so caring and patient with our rescue pup who can be reticent to interact with anyone outside our family. Rachel shows up when she says she will, gives detailed reports with photos, and it's so nice to know our dog has a chance to get out while we are away. I would recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a responsible, kind walker.”

“I've tried a handful of dog sitter and a few people to help with walking my dogs but nobody have been as awesome as Devora! She genuinely enjoy being around animals and I could tell by the way my pets immediately gravitate towards her without being iffy in the beginning.
