“Serena was very quick to respond and extremely professional. She made sure to follow my instructions and my cat seemed to love her! Definitely going to book her again next time I leave town.”
“Oh my gosh, Briana is the BEST! She did such a wonderful job caring for our two kittens while we were away. She is so responsible and sweet - we loved seeing all the great photos and looked forward to her funny and thoughtful report cards each day! I would highly highly recommend her and we’ll absolutely be calling her again soon :)”
“Daniela was stellar! My cat takes different medication at different times of the day, and Daniela followed all instructions exactly. It was so great to receive pictures of my cat when Daniela visited. I would re-book her in an instant!”
“Violeta took excellent care of our 2 cats. They seemed very calm when we got home - evidence of being played with and feeling secure. There was a Hurricane warning and she made sure they had extra food in case of any disruption. I will definitely rebook in the future!!”
“This is the second time Sarah has checked in our cat, and she was great both times! She is communicative and makes sure to send updates and pictures. We feel much better knowing she is checking in on her.”
“Thanks Katie for taking excellent care of our cats! You get big kudos for getting a photo of our VERY shy kitty. Thank you for making it through the snow to make sure they got fed too! We'd love for you to come back when our kitties need you again.”
“Cassidy was wonderful. She was patient with my cats as they got to know her, she checked on issues with their water dispenser and litter box and promptly resolved them. She sent photos and took great care of my boys.”
“She is absolutely amazing!! Highly recommended. Sweet, gentle, and extremely attentive. She watched our sweet Donatello (domestic long haired cat while we were away).”
About: I'm from Colombia, and there I had different pets that my family and I rescued through the course of 12 years, birds, parrots, iguanas, cats, dogs. I moved in 2018 to the US., lived basically a year in a pet free environment and couldn't make it longer like that. Because of that, my husband and I went to Colombia, got my two dogs that were with my family, Arya & Kathy (AKA the girls) and brought them with us to the US. And they come with us everywhere that they are allowed! Teaching things to the girls, playing with them, going for walks (and spoiling them a little) is a big part of our lives, and I can surely say that your pet would love being with us because he/she/they would certainly feel part of our family! <3 I'm currently a full time photographer, I edit and do social media management from home, so I'm basically around most of the time, if I have to go out for a shoot it won't be longer than 3 hours, and if it is a big event - it would more likely to be at night or the weekend when my husband is home. He works full time, some days at home, some others at the lab. We live in an apartment and have a huge terrace, there we have a pee-potty station for the girls for when it's too cold or rainy and it's hard to go for a walk! - I am a morning rooster, get up at 5 am, let the girls out or take them out for a walk around our building, offer them breakfast and with hubby start getting ready for work. I stay home and take them out every 3 hours, then a longer walk at noon before lunch and another long walk when hubby comes back from work around 6pm, then we offer the girls dinner. During the day, I need to take short breaks for my eyes and hands, and I use that time to decompress playing with the girls (+ your fur baby), and after our dinner and chatting about our day we all cuddle on the couch or play with the craziest squeaky toys haha! We have a big dog safe terrace, and two fur babies to keep your dog(s) company when they board with us! We don't really crate the girls, instead we have a metallic foldable gate that we set when we both are out so they don't feel the anxiety of been close to the door, but instead they get to be on their space with beds, bowls, & the living room (couch and puff chair) for them to hangout! When I'm home (the 80% of the time) they can walk around the whole apartment, join me on the couch or my office set up or just chill on their beds. We also have a dog spa in our building that allow us to shower, dry and groom them easier and faster in case your baby is in need of one! When dog sitting, I'll make sure to follow your instructions and to help your baby not feel alone!

About: My name Alex Fridman, nice to meet you! Over the years through Rover and other dog sitting sites, I have gained a customer base and it’s been a lot of fun! My customers' dogs range from Germans, labs and doodles so I have experience walking and caring for all sized dogs. I also have two dogs of my own (a Goldendoodle named Brooklyn who is 80 pounds and a Yorkie named Coco who is 8 pounds) and I love them to death! So I do have experience dealing with small dogs! I have been volunteering at Lucky Dog Refuge in Stamford and have been loving it. I am just a very big dog person and any time I can get out and walk dogs, especially the ones that need it most, I am all for it. If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I’d love to come and do a meet and greet to make sure this is a good match and that you are comfortable. I can provide customer references if needed, just let me know! Thank you for considering me and hope to hear back 😊 I have, through my full time work, have met coworkers throughout the years in which I dog sit for. During these dog sits I would walk the dogs, ensuring they go potty and also feed them if necessary. It meant a lot to visit these pups and it honestly would make my day seeing them. I have a golden doodle and yorkie of my own who I love very much. I honestly don’t know what I do without my pups. They bring me a lot joy and laughter everyday and on most days, hanging out with them on the couch, are the best days!

maria alexandra v.
“I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that Maria loves dogs more than kiddos - and this is a woman who has been hailed as a phenomenal nanny by several families over the last several years. Many people will ask to pet new dogs that they meet, but Maria truly falls in love with every single one. In fact this is true of all animals, but she does have a special place in her heart for doggos. I probably do not have space to write all the stories I could about this part of her life, but here are a few. In addition to the dogs she has cared for while nannying (5 in total), she has had no less than 4 dogs of her own. She has raised newborn puppies, and she has rescued dogs (and cats) that she found abandoned in the street, or that were left by families that could no longer care for them. In fact just the other day she turned the car around when she believed she saw a dog being tied to a pole on the side of the road, but thankfully the owner was only taking a rest and did stay with the animal the entire time. Maria is from Colombia, which has a complicated dog culture. There is an abundance of dogs throughout the country, but they are not always well cared for, and many end up as strays. I personally witnessed her nurture a hungry stray dog while staying at a fancy resort. While the proprietors tried to shoo the animal, thinking it was being bothersome, Maria was actually encouraging the dog to approach. She then calmed him into trusting her so that she could give him some food and water, and he later followed us to our cabana and slept outside. We currently have two dogs in our family, and if I didn’t see it with my own eyes every day, I would not believe two dogs could ever be this happy and comfortable. She does not simply provide them food and water. She rolls around and plays with them whenever they bring her one of their favorite toys, and she lays down with them on whatever surface of the house suits them in the moment. They have so many choices, with 3 beds of their own, a comfy couch and ottoman, and even occasionally our own bed. She bathes them, grooms them, cleans their teeth, and even paints their nails (yes really!). To them, I may be one of their “humans”, but she is truly a part of their pack. Arya, Kathy (our mini French poodles), and Maria would love a chance to share their love with the special furry member of your family, and I promise they will be so very well cared for!!”
