“Sam and her family hosted our cockapoo Diamond for a week. Working with Sam was an amazing experience from the first day we inquired! Diamond's stay was amazing, he had lots of fun which we could tell by all the photos that were sent to us. He was loved and taken very good care of for the week. Sam is also a great communicator which was very important to us because Diamond can be a little particular and a picky eater. Sam kept us informed about how Diamond was eating and how he was adapting to his new environment. Hands down we give Sam 10 stars🌟!”


“Rachel took great care of my dog. This is the second time he stayed with Rachel and I think he really enjoyed his stay there. The regular photo updates were great. It was good to know he was well taken care of while we were away.”


“I was such in a rush when leaving and packing my pets things, that I forgot to pack my dogs bowls and didn’t even notice until I was back from my trip. Elizabeth is such a great sitter and always willing to help and go that extra mile. My dog has had no issues and he requires a lot of daily exercise. Definitely a sitter to always consider.”


“So awesome! She sent tons of photos and updates. She was available for all questions and very kind to my special pup. Highly recommended! She's right on the beach, too!”


“I am absolutely thrilled to leave this glowing review for Doris! She has taken care of Milo several times now, and each time I’m blown away by her warmth, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Milo always comes back happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved — it’s such a relief knowing he’s in safe, caring hands while I’m away. Doris is attentive to his needs, communicative throughout the stay, and truly treats him like her own. I can’t recommend her enough — she’s become a trusted part of Milo’s extended family. Thank you Doris!”


“Our 2 pitbulls, Bully and Jada had a great weekend stay with Judith! Our plans for a pet sitter fell through the day we were due to fly out of town, and Judith quickly came to the rescue! We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures she sent us of our pups. We were able to enjoy a nice vacation knowing they were well taken care of and being shown constant love and attention. She even took them to play in the park, one of their favorite hobbies! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She is very experienced and a true animal lover.”


“Could not have asked for a better sitting experience for our 8 year old Tina! Kecia was kind, communicative, and clearly cares about all the animals she watches. We met up a few days ahead so our dogs could meet and everything was totally seamless - we felt completely confident and comfortable out of town knowing Tina was with Kecia. Will absolutely rebook and recommend to others!”


“Erica and her husband are as amazing as the reviews say. They are knowledgeable about dogs and puppies. They sent plenty of pictures and videos. Took great care of my puppy rocky !”


“Yiqi is such an amazing sitter. My dog is typically pretty anxious and he felt so safe and trusting with her. Yiqi is so communicative and always provided me with photos of my pup. I will 100% be using you as my sitter in the future!”



About: I have been a dog lover since I could remember! I have had dogs ranging from a small chihuahua to a large cane corso. I currently have a Siberian Husky that enjoys flinging toys everywhere and going out to run whenever possible. She loves people and other dogs and wags that fluffy tail the second she sees a new friend coming her way.I feed and walk the dogs on set schedules that work for them and myself. Other than that, they are free to just lounge around, play with some toys, people watch out the window, or just watch some tv with me. I did self train my young Husky Nova and if another dog shows interest in picking up a new trick or two, then that's fine with me. I believe that all dogs have the capacity to learn something new and thus should be rewarded for their good behavior whether it be with treats, cheerful praise, or a nice long belly rub. If your dog wants to take a shot at tiring out mine then by all means you'll get no complaints from me. I have a Husky at home so we try to stick some kind of schedule that works for us both. My schedule is pretty flexible so I'm sure you're furry one will feel right at home. I allow the pets pretty much free roam around the place. My only no go areas are the kitchen and the bathroom. Other than that, my home is their home.

“Emmie was so kind and patient with my pup Milo and all of his special needs. She made me feel confident that he was well taken care of, went above and beyond to make him and me feel comfortable, and was in regular communication to let me know how he was doing. I’m so grateful for her thoughtfulness in making sure Milo had a good stay, and know I am leaving him in good hands when she watches him again in the future. Thank you, Emmie!”


“Vanessa is a wonderful sitter. You will feel her warmth and care for your fur baby. Her place is safe and secured. Our Flynn had a great time with her and other dogs. She sends you updates, photos & videos. Thank you Venassa! Will definitely choose you again and again.”


“Kristin took such good care of my little dog Coco. And made sure he took his daily medication. She also updated me how how he was feeling and sent me photos and videos. Kristin was also warm and welcoming and you can tell that she loved animals. I highly recommend her 🔝”


“Margaret took good care of our dog Leo. She sent daily pictures and updates throughout his stays. I would highly recommend her to everyone looking for a dog sister ❤️”


“Lina did a great job taking care of my cat! Lina is caring, trustworthy, and you can tell she loves cats and cares for them well ☺️. I dropped my cat off with her for 2 weeks of boarding as I went travelling, and she sent pictures everyday. I could tell my cat was having a good time with her, and I never felt worried about leaving my cat as I travelled as a result. I've already booked another boarding with her knowing my cat will love to be back with Lina!”


“She was amazing ! She took care of my dog yaya , walked her , bathed her , was very sweet to her and made her feel at home , she went out of her way above and beyond of what I was expecting , she even went out and spent her own money on pads my dog needed , I couldn’t make it on the day I was suppose to pick her up and she pushed her schedule to take care of her another extra day , she is decently someone I will continue to use , she was great and I felt really comstarable knowing yaya was with her and that’s a rare thing”


“Kitty was friendly, responsive, and understanding towards us and our dog’s needs. We were feeling quite nervous leaving our anxious dog with someone from Rover for the first time, but our Hazel quickly warmed up to Kitty and her partner. It was clear that Hazel was comfortable and happy during her stay! Kitty kept us updated multiple times a day with photos and was easy to contact, which helped put our mind at ease. We were glad we chose Kitty to board our dog for a long weekend!”


“Ariel was great. Flexible with both pickup and drop off times, sent plenty of photos and seemed to genuinely enjoy having Kiara for the weekend. Would happily book her again.”


“Sarah was amazing! She was flexible, communicated with me timely and shared updates and pictures me with me throughout. Sarah was very sweet towards GG, and Sarah’s calm demeanor allowed GG to relax quickly while in her care. Sarah was diligent about GG’s care instructions and even incorporated her favorite activities. I would, without hesitation, use Sarah again.”


“I gladly drive to Flatbush from BedStuy so Jake can stay with Sophia! She’s a great and caring dog sitter. Jake loves spending time with her and her dog and I can always rest assured knowing he is well taken care of!”
