“I have known Maria for quite some time and have never had anyone else watch Jake but Maria. I have to say she is insanely loving and very responsible with pets. I have a beautiful yellow lab ~ Jake and Maria has house sat for me multiple times. Jake absolutely loves her. Maria and her dog Ollie are a wonderful pair. Ollie loves all dogs, plays and cuddles with no territory issues. Maria is very conscientious about any needs or special instructions though I have always felt when I am on vacation Jake is on vacation so have fun!!! I refer friends to Maria often. I am a nervous nelly when it comes to my pooch. He has never been in a kennel and I am truly blessed to have Maria as my sitter. She gets Jakie boy next month...he can't wait!!!”

14. Margaret B.
“All her life Margaret has loved animals; from rescuing newborn squirrels when she was a child, to taking the lead in caring for her family feline, to finding homes for abandoned cats in Brooklyn as an adult. Margaret truly loves all animals. Henry, her beautiful black cat, is currently the love of her life. Although Walley, her Cairn Terrier, now deceased, was also. She is extremely conscientious and reliable in all that she does. She can be trusted. I truly would not hesitate to have Margaret be responsible for ANY pet of mine.”
15. David S.
“We feel so lucky to have found David; truly, we only wish that we had found him sooner! He is reliable, considerate, and, most importantly, our dog LOVES him. Our dog is older, with some medical issues, and can be standoffish to new people but David won him over almost immediately. We always have complete confidence and peace of mind that our dog is well cared for.”
16. Wendy R.

18. Annelyse L.
“Annelyse is my go to person for watching my baby, Luna. I trust her whole heartedly because she cares for others pets as if they are her own. She has watched Luna on many occasions now and is always communicating with me throughout her stay, sending me pictures and any updates that she knows I would want to be aware of. She is extremely responsible and follows any scheduling/regimens I have in place to ensure that Luna is the most comfortable when she’s away from her home or me. Annelyse was well trained when she signed up to be a foster mom so she is very aware of what it takes to care for your pet. I highly recommend Annelyse to be your pet caregiver!”

“Wendy is great! We had her come walk our dog for two days in a row and then a drop in while we were gone for the day, all in 1 weeks time, and each visit went great! She is very attentive to updates and making sure our Haruki is safe and sound for all walks and visits. Definitely recommend her services!”
