“Hanaya was great with our anxious mini-Golden doodle. She took great care of him, and was extremely flexible with dates and times. We will definitely use Hanaya again!”


2. Daniela L.


“Daniela was an amazing caretaker for my cat, Hex. This was my first time using the Rover app to find someone to watch him, and it was also my first time leaving him for a two week vacation. I was worried about so many things, but Daniela eased all of those worries. She was friendly, accommodating, understanding, and followed my instructions for care perfectly. She also sent daily photos and let me know how Hex was doing during each visit. She was very responsive to my messages during the day, even outside of her visiting hours with Hex. I cannot thank her and her mother enough for their expert care of my pet. Daniela, you are amazing! Thank you!”


3. Briana C.

“Briana—you truly took forth into making me feel extremely comfortable leaving my two fur babies with you for the weekend. All instructions were followed & the level of detail you gave each time you visited along with multiple photos of my little kitties, truly gave me some encouragement that they felt comfortable enough with you. I can’t begin to express my gratitude for your kindness and effort into ensuring my cats were in good hands. I will 100% be booking with Briana again! I cannot recommend enough.”


4. Katie V.

“First time booking Katie- she did a great job. Prompt communication, took care with the instructions we left, and kept us abreast of how our cats were doing. Will reach out again next time we need a petsitter- and do recommend to others!”


5. Gabrielle S.
“Gideon absolutely loved having Gabbi as his sitter! He can be a bit of a handful with his playful energy, but Gabbi handled him with such patience and affection. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. I highly recommend Gabbi to any pet owner, especially those with high-energy dogs like mine. She's a true animal lover and a fantastic sitter!”


6. Rosa C.


“Rosa communicated well and our cats were very happy with her visits while we were away.”


7. Alexis B.

“Alexis is fantastic! What initially drew me to her was her vast experience with animals in her personal and professional life. My cat has a big personality and can be a bit feisty— Alexis’ animal experience definitely put my mind at ease. She sent great photos/updates, was punctual and very communicative leading up to the visit. Most importantly, I trust her ability and intuition when it comes to animal stuff. I will definitely be booking Alexis in the future and highly recommend her!”


8. Barbara P.

“Barbara is AMAZING! Her attention to our baby was nothing short of fantastic! Barbara went above and beyond by even taking it upon herself to help with our house while we were away! She helped run our heater and took our trash bins out! If you’re looking for someone who has a true bond with animals and sets them at ease Barbara is your girl! Thank you Barbara from the bottom of of hearts:) we had a better vacation not having to worry about the type of care our baby was getting!”


9. Kenisha M.

“Kenisha was amazing! I was traveling overseas for 11 nights and needed someone to come in to check on my 3 cats, feed them and clean up after them. She was so sweet and caring and my cats were happy. Even my extremely shy one came out and let her scratch her head. I highly recommend hiring this beautiful soul to take care of your pets.”


10. Maria C.

“Maria Corina is an incredibly loving and responsible dog owner and caregiver. On multiple occasions she has proved this, whether it was taking care of her Peekapoo when he was sick or the numerous times she has taken care of friends and family dogs while they were out of town. I would recommend anyone to leave their dog with her, knowing they will be in good hands.”


11. Margaret B.
“Margaret is truly gifted with animals, she connects with them easily and takes their care seriously. She works well with dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, turtles and other animals. Pet companions that are fearful or shy are treated with respect and she works hard to form positive relationships with them where they feel safe in her presence. As a sitter, she is incredibly responsible and keeps in regular touch with her client, sending them pictures and providing them updates on how things are going. She can be trusted to do a great job watching or caring for your pet in a variety of capacities. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”


12. Ivon C.

“Ivon and Jojo got along really great! She was very attentive! We will be booking her for a vacation we have coming up.”


13. 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.”


14. Mikaela M.

“Mikaela is amazing! We had one visit so far and she arrived right on time, played with our 9 week old puppy and sent many pictures and videos of the visit! Would definitely recommend!”


15. stefanie o.

“Stefanie was fantastic! She went above and beyond to take care of our cats. They were well loved and taken care of while we were away, and we will definitely ask her to look after them again in the future. Highly recommend!!”


16. Annelyse L.
“Annelyse has always loved animals of all kinds since she was a child. She watched endless animal documentaries and always sought to learn what more we can do for animals in need. She grew up with her own dogs and hamsters as dear pets and family members and was always the go to pet sitter from friends, family and neighbors. She is passionate about animal rights and is actively involved in volunteering as a foster for the SPCA of Westchester. She always watches my pets for me when I go out of town and sends hourly updates and pictures of my happy fur babies. She spends quality enrichment time with any animal she is caring for and treats them like her own. There is no one else I would trust more with my beloved pet than Annelyse.”


17. Wendy R.

“Wendy is super sweet and responsive to all of my messages ! She texts me pics and short videos & responds timely to all of my requests . She is attentive to my puppy even when the weather is a bit chilly and it’s mostly indoors apart from a potty break . I would book her again :)”


18. Janet M.
“I can’t say enough good things about Janet! She has been an incredible blessing for my dog, Ash. While I'm at work, I know Ash is in the best hands. Janet is not only reliable and punctual but also genuinely loves dogs. Ash always comes home happy and well-exercised after his walks. What impresses me most is the personalized attention and care Ash receives. Janet takes the time to understand Ash's personality and needs, ensuring each walk is enjoyable and safe. I receive regular updates and photos, which really puts my mind at ease. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, caring, and passionate about dogs, look no further! I highly recommend Janet to anyone in need of a fantastic dog walker.”


19. Josh C.

“We couldn’t be happier with the services provided by Josh! His understanding of our needs, and his communication were above and beyond what we could have hoped for. Would absolutely use again and recommend to friends!”


20. Wendy Johanna B.

“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!”
