6. Cher D.
“I had never used an online pet sitting service before. I was on a waiting list for two boarding kennels. Went out of town for the weekend and Cher was very accommodating. She seems like a genuine pet lover. She had two smaller dogs that my small Pomeranian got along with well. She sent update photos of Cody and responded quickly to update requests. I was totally satisfied with her services and would let her watch Cody again and will be utilizing her services again in the future. Cody’s temperament when back home was normal and not like the usual shyness after a traditional kennel. I know he got play time with other dogs and did not have fear/separation anxiety with Cher and her small dogs. Thank you Cher. I am totally satisfied with the experience.”
7. Aliya G.
“Aliya has always made sure that my doze has had all the love and support needed to be a happy kitty. She is attentive to feeding and keeping the water bowls full! She always gives doze extra love and care. All around, she keeps my kitty happy and I feel safe leaving her in Aliya’s care when I am gone.”

About: I've had dogs my entire life, and have dog sat for friends and family since high school. Since then, I've worked at several animal shelters and dog daycares. I currently work at a vet, so I have interacted with every kind of dog and cat there is. I have a very flexible schedule, so your pets will have lots of one on one time with me. I have the most availability on Mondays and on weekends. If I stay with your pet, I can also do extra cleaning tasks such as take out the trash, collect your mail, water any plants, etc. Visit https://www.rover.com/sit/isaacs21378 and use the code "ISAACS21378" to receive $20 off your first booking!
11. Mariah & Max S.
“Hutch received fantastic care from Mariah and Max and definitely made a couple of new 4-legged friends during his stay. They were also very friendly and very flexible when it came to drop-off/pick-up times, which I greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!”
12. Claire K.
About: I have worked in a kennel for two years. It has given me valuable skills on how to work with dogs and understand them better. I am a student athlete and a double major so I am a little busy! However I’ll always be able to make time for pets. I will most likely be available middle of the day. It will most likely range from each pet. Each animal needs a different type of love. I would ask about your dog and want to know what they like and don’t like, so I can make sure they are happy.
13. Christin H.
“Christin was great, super friendly and accommodating! She has the most adorable puppy that kept my dog entertained. She has a nice large yard for the dogs to play in. My dog had such a blast!”
14. Erin L.
“Our dog Luna was quite happy at her home and I am boarding her for a second time . Erin sent us pictures every day of Luna playing with her dogs and her family. I am glad we chose Erin to take are of our dog. I am confident she will take good care of Luna and her boys will enjoy her company and give her lots of love. All in all, the perfect combination!”
15. Andie B.
About: I’ve taken care of my own family dogs my whole life and many dogs in NYC. I love taking them on walks and cuddling them! I am a medical student and spend many hours at home studying. I love to go on walks during study breaks and play with dogs! I live in a big apartment alone with many dog toys and treats. I am in a safe neighborhood for long walks and have a park nearby
