Her care her time and to keep up letting us know how everything was going was excellent. I would definitely definitely use her again to babysit my baby dog Lola. Thank you so much for your care and your love and your attention.”

Benji stayed with her nearly 3 weeks. We communicated pretty much everyday. I will definitely contact her for my future trips. Once again thanks”

“Noelle was a fantastic caretaker for our dog, Dodger. She helped out last minute, watching him for the weekend. He usually gets a little stressed after car rides and being left with strangers but he warmed up easily. Noelle sent great pictures and updates during the weekend and we will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

I received plenty of pictures and communicated with her while I was away and knew that tigger, prince and lucky would have a great time with Alyona. My boys do miss her and I will recommend and will book again. Thanks so much!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have grown up around dogs. I personally trained my own dog from the ground up, and he is completely house-trained and well behaved. I’m very comfortable maintaining routines, reinforcing good habits, and making sure each pup feels safe and comfortable in my care. I have a flexible work schedule and spend a lot of time at home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and walks. I love taking long walks with my own dog and would be happy to keep your pup’s usual routine as closely as possible. As an OT, I am very patient, attentive, responsible, and observant of individual needs. I have no children in my home, so it’s a calm environment where I can give your pet my full attention. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat your dog like family! Get ready to receive tons of pictures! 🐾 I’m currently working on a part time schedule with availability all morning and early afternoons. I work 4x/week about 4 hours each day. I’m available every weekend from Thursday-Sunday. I have my own fur baby to help keep your pup company. I will make sure to keep your dog on a schedule as needed. Long walks are already a part of our daily routine!

“I booked Steve after a communication issue with the previously booked sitter very close to the holiday. It was a little nervewracking because he's new to the platform, but Steve was great with Sammy! When I dropped Sam off, he asked a lot of questions about his routines and behaviors and you can tell that he really cares about your dog's experience. He was good about sending pictures and details throughout our trip about how Sam was doing. He was even able to get Sam to play fetch a bit, which he never does! Dropoff and pickup were easy to coordinate. Even when we returned a bit later than anticipated, Steve was easy going about it. I picked up a very happy, rested pup! I'll definitely be using Steve again!”

“As a new NYC resident, I was nervous to leave my 1 year old dog behind for a trip for the first time—I could not be more thankful to have found Binta :) She took the time to meet me and Joey before drop off day so that he could be as comfortable as possible. I loved receiving daily updates about how he was doing. It was clear he was happy and very well taken care of with Binta!”

“Katherine was very communicative and JJ was well cared for. I appreciated the ability to stay in touch and loved receiving pics and videos throughout JJ's stay. It gave me great peace of mind. Thanks for taking good care of him!”

“Stephanie and Corey were wonderful with our puppy, Max. They responded quickly to our inquiry and all was settled literally within minutes. Max took to them, and their dogs, quickly! They regularly sent photos and updates while we were away. Each time we were glad to see how happy and well taken care of Max was ☺️. We hope to book them again and again!”

“Adela is a fantastic, caring sitter. She took care of our cat Simon for more than a week and we felt so at ease having him in Adela’s home. Adela is thorough, dependable, and clearly made our cat feel so comfortable and relaxed. Thank you, Adela — looking forward to having you care for Simon again soon!”

Alison E.

“Omar was wonderful with our English Bulldog! The level of care and attention prior to, during, and after our dog's stay, is in a category of its own. Omar's exceptional! We could see our Belvedere's happiness in every picture and video that we received (and there were many!). We're so grateful to have found him!”

“Samantha was amazing! She took good care of my pup and even helped me carry his things inside. Would definitely book her services again. 10/10!!”

Danyelle E.

“Natali took wonderful care of Griffin while I was away. She was very patient with all of his quirks and special needs. She was very communicative and regularly let me know how he was doing. I really felt like she made Griffin very comfortable in her home and cared for him as if he were her own. I’m also very grateful to her for being so accommodating when I realized at the last minute that I had booked for the wrong dates! I would absolutely trust her to watch Griffin again in the future.”

“I will give Kate 10/10 I can feel when I picked up my dog ,my furry daughter had been taken care of. And she keep me updated everyday which is amazing. And my dog is old and not many Dogsitter really know how to take care of old dog due to my previous experience of dog sitter. I just rebook Kate again for my upcoming gateway family and I feel assured that my dog will feels like home with her.”
