“Would give 10 star review if I could! Louis was absolutely amazing with our girl! He sent tons of pictures and provided quick feedback while we were on vacation out of state. He took her on walks and play time at a nearby park. Copper had an amazing visit, will definitely book again.”



“My pups loved staying here. We got pictures every day of the fun the pups were having! She always had contact with us regarding the pups and how they were doing. Honestly wouldn't trust my pups with anyone else!! When we picked the pups up, you can see they had a lot of fun and were happy. She has a big backyard for the dogs to run around all day!! Big plus for high energy dogs like mine. I would highly recommend the meet and greet, and you get to see where your dog will be staying. There is no one else I will send my pups to, she did a great job watching them for almost a week!”


“Bridgette had such a nice stay with Jennifer! We received regular photos and updates on how she was doing—it looked like she had a great time and was well cared for; she immediately crashed out for a long nap when she got home after all her fun with another dog! We wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay again; strong recommend!”



“5 stars! I was very anxious about leaving my pup for the first time and Suzanne made the process so smooth! She took plenty of time with me on the phone and during the meet and greet so by the time I dropped my pup off I had no worries and he didn't even look back as we drove off! The updates were great and I was glad to know he was in good hands. He was perfectly worn out when he came home. Oliver is looking forward to his next stay with Suzanne. Many thanks!”


“Alejandro & his fiancée were wonderful with my Cody. They gave him plenty of attention & love. I could tell he was very happy staying with them & enjoyed playing with their dog. Sent plenty of pictures & videos. Will definitely be using them again!”


“I highly recommend Gaileen! I had never left my senior dog with anyone other than family before and Gaileen was great at making my dog comfortable and sending me updates! She has been professional, reliable, and caring. My dog is looking forward to more overnights with her! 😊”


“I am so happy we found Apryl! She treated my fur babies (3Poodles) while we were away with such great care. She was able to take my dogs with last minutes notice. Apryl sent daily pictures, videos and responded to our texts quickly. This made me able to truly relax on my vacation. I highly recommend Apryl and we will definitely be using her again. My dogs loved her too. Our boys got along great with her dog as well.”


About: My love for dogs knows no bounds! While I started actively caring for dogs about three years ago, I’ve had them in my life since I was 10. Taking my dogs to the beach or on trail walks is part of my daily routine. I realized that if I’m already bringing my own pups on adventures, why not share the fun and include other dogs too! I’m currently working full time Tuesday-Friday 9am-5pm but available after work too! Available anytime Monday, Saturday and Sunday. I usually take my dogs to the beach for a 1 hour walk in the riverhead and Hampton bays area I have a fenced yard at my house and can definitely train your dog some tricks if you are okay with it! My hobby is to teach my dogs new tricks. I also do agility training!

“Donna took such great care of our pup!! She put us at ease as this was the first time Tink was away from us for the overnight stay. Will definitely go back.”


“Alyssa is the best dog sitter! Our dog Zeke stayed with her for two nights so far, she sends us updates and pictures of him hourly! Highly recommend her services. We will be using her in the future.”


“OMG!!!! Last minute booking and we could not be more happy. Alissa responded promptly to our last minute booking after us choosing her due to the many great reviews. We can definitely understand why all the great reviews. Not only did our fur baby have the time of his life meeting new friends, they kept us up to date with all his great interactions by sending us photos and texting us to let us know how he was doing. Also a great plus, our fur baby came home cleaner than we sent him. Excellent do sitters, an absolute recommend.”

I like to follow your pets normal routine, maintain a clean environment as well as keep everyone safe! I'll be able to provide you with regular updates and many photos of your pets so you can have peace of mind!


“Our 1 year old dog Theo had such a great time at Maria’s! Her house is beautiful and clean. She has her own dog, an Australian shepherd, who was a great playmate for Theo. She sent photos and pupdates daily. We can’t wait to use her again!”


“Lisa & Michael were the absolute best caretakers for my 3 month old baby!!! They are sweet, loving, and patient! I was a nervous wreck leaving my puppy for a long weekend, but they were so reassuring and sent me updates and pictures every day. Wilson came home happy and healthy. He misses his new friends already! We will certainly be back.”


“Christina was amazing with dudley. She sent photos every day as well as text updates to let me know what they doing at the park and on walks and how my snugglepuff was adjusting and settling in. She gave me early notice that the food was running low so I was able to send her more well before it ran out and became an emergency. He also enjoyed playing with onyx, the neighbor dog, and I was thrilled he had the canine company. She was very loving and kind towards duds, and I am sending him back next week for 3 more days to board while I wrap up a work event.”



“Heather was amazing. She had never even met my VERY high energy Australian shepherd doodle puppy who chews ALL things and took her for her first overnight away from us. It’s clear how much she and her family love dogs. I felt super comfortable leaving Parker with Heather. I’ll definitely use her again!”


“I had the absolute best experience with Lindsay K. and can't recommend her enough to anyone who needs pet sitting services! She took care of my two cats for a week while I was in the process of moving, and from the very start (booking on the app) she made everything so easy and completely stress-free. She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and accommodating with scheduling - which I really appreciated while things were a little hectic on my end. She sent me at least three updates a day, complete with photos and little notes about how they were doing, what they were up to, and how they were eating and behaving. It was so reassuring and honestly a huge relief to know they were being so well looked after. One of my cats acts like she owns the place (any place) and the other is pretty shy and takes a while to warm up to new people. Lindsay easily accommodated their individual personality preferences and silly sibling dynamic so that both cats were clearly getting lots of love and attention every day. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with my scaredy cat that he warmed up quickly and was comfortable and happy in her care. It’s not easy to find someone like Lindsay who is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely thoughtful and caring when it comes to bonding with pets. I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in her care, and was happy to bring home two very content and well-cared-for kitties. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, look no further — she’s the best! 100/10 stars and would 100% book again the next time I need a cat sitter!”


“Leo had a great time with Lorena. Lorena has no problems giving him all his medication. He enjoyed his time with Lorena and got to sleep in her bedroom and take fun walks and dance to Spanish music. I received many pictures and videos during Leo’s time with Lorena.”


“Christine completely understands what it means to be a dog mommy! This was the first time I had to leave my Finley with anyone for an extended period of time and Christine was nothing but accommodating. She kept me constantly updated about Finley’s day and always added a photo to put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Christine’s services to my friends and family.”

Christina C.
“Christina is the most caring sitter I have ever met. My dogs, Ginger and Sonny, are two large golden retrievers that need a lot of attention. They love her ! She also gives Sonny his medication and once brought to my attention a growth he had on his hip, which I wasnt aware of..She is always dependable and follows my thorough directions to the letter! From fog walking, dog sitting and daily pet care I would rate her services out of 10 out of 10, if you need a sitter Christina is the one for you!”
