“I contacted John last minute to sit for my dog in his home! He responded immediately and was very easy to communicate with. He sent daily pictures, and reassured me my dog was in good care! Definitely recommend!”
“Maria was amazing! From day 1, she was attentive and had open communication with us about Stella and Hunters' progress. She facilitated a comfortable and fun environment, and we were pleased with the overall experience. I would highly recommend Maria and would work with her in the future”
“Excellent substitute fur parents. Best compliment we can give is that we will use them again any and every time we need to ……they took wonderful care of our pups!”
“Coco had a great first stay with Cindy and her sweet family and dog Pepper. Cindy kept us up-to-date with how the stay was going by sending many photos during Coco’s stay. She was also very accommodating in terms of last-minute changes to the drop off and pick up times.”
“Diana is the best to care for my dog! Always keeps me updated and send pics of her and her family showing my dog so much love! She cares for him, like he’s her own. Would use her every time!”
“This is our 2nd time having Melissa watch our pups and we could not be happier. The photos and communication help us feel that our pups are happy and well taken care of. In fact we already booked the pups next stay with Melissa.”
About: Throughout almost my whole life I’ve been taking care of a bunch of different types of animals. I took care of a Goat once IN MY APARTMENT. HAHAHA I had her in the balcony with a lot of plants so she could eat. But then we had to let her go as she grew up because there wasn’t a lot of room in the apartment for her. Then I took care of my 4 dogs, Dory, Kylie, Kevin and Max. They were my reason to be. I don’t have them anymore, but I will always remember them in my heart. ❤️🩹 I have now a little cutie cat, called Coffey. She’s like my child, I love her with my life. I’m in college right now, so I would like to have this job as a part time. And the only reason I’m taking it as a job is because I need to pay college if not I would have been doing it for free. I like to see what are the needs of the pet first. I like to check if there’s any dietary restrictions, any medication, any allergy or any other personal indication for the pet. And after I have that covered I do whatever the owner allows me to do like playing with them in the yard.
“Kerri has been the best sitter for our Tiller! With photos everyday while we were gone and easing my nerves along the way that he was having the BEST time with her dogs in the snow and also playing inside, We would definitely use her again!”
“Lorena was the best possible dog sitter I could’ve imagined. She was quick to reply to my request, asked great follow up questions and I could tell right away how she cares for animals. Her yard was fenced in, tons of space and my puppy had such a great time. She sent pictures/videos throughout the day. I felt so safe with with my puppy being under her care. I will definitely be using her again and recommending her to others!”
“Excellent. Highly recommend. Taught my puppy how to play in the baby pool. This was miracle work! I’m still in awe that she will now play in the water. Thankful to Catherine for her kindness and patience with our pup!”
“I cannot recommend this amazing dog sitter in Pendik enough! From the moment I entrusted my furry friend to their care, I knew I made the right choice. They were incredibly gentle and caring, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. What truly impressed me was their commitment to keeping me updated; I received regular messages, along with adorable pictures and videos that made my day! It was clear that my pup was in excellent hands. This won’t be the first time, and it certainly won’t be the last time she will be dog sitting my dog again. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for both me and my dog.”
“I left Mango with Jeff when my boyfriend and I went into the city for the night and it was a great experience from drop off to pick up. I had never used Rover before so I was a little nervous about leaving Mango at a strangers house but Jeff made me feel very comfortable and reassured me Mango would be in good hands. While I was in the city Jeff sent me picture updates the entire time! It was nice seeing Mango having such a good time with the other dogs. If I ever need someone to watch Mango again when I am in town, I will definitely call Jeff!”
“Natalia has been our sitter over 1 year now and Petunia LOVES her. She is so excited to see her when we drop her off. When Petunia stays with Natalia, we know she is safe, loved and in her second home. The best! Book it!”
“I booked with Christina last year for few days and she was an excellent care giver. I would say the best pet sitter I worked with. When I picked up my pet he was clean and looked happy. I sure he had an excellent stay at Christina's. I would definitely recommend. Thank you Christina for taking good care of my buddy.”
“Carlos is such a wonderful dog sitter! He really cares about your pet while they are with him. We are returning clients and will absolutely continue to schedule with him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Ruby!”
“Tara S and her family are amazing ?. They took such good care of my Louie - including washing all of his bedding the day I came to get him. She has two good sized good natured dogs that kept him busy the entire time we were gone. I highly recommend her if you have a good natured medium sized dog they likes companionship & playtime. My Louie is about 90 lbs just so you have an idea of what I mean by good sized dog. We will absolutely use them again ?”

My Scrappy (who is a 2 year old Pomeranian/ Poodle Mix male) stayed with Maria, Eric, and Penny (their fur baby girl) for 12 days. Scrappy and Penny had a meet and greet prior to booking. They hit it off. They were like long lost loves. Scrappy is one to be pretty scrappy at times, so I had to check the fence line because he likes to try to dig. They have a very secure backyard that made me feel comfortable to leave him there too. Maria said she would be out there with them, which made me feel better. But the fence was very secure anyway. Maria sent me photos and videos daily of Scrappy and Penny playing in the snowy backyard, napping together, and enjoying each other’s company. Scrappy seemed very happy and content staying with the family. Unfortunately, Scrappy had to say farewell to Penny for now. When I picked him up there was another fur friend there too, who was an elderly regular. He seemed like a sweetheart too. It was nice to see Scrappy had so many few friends. Maria’s sending us pictures and videos made me smile while we were away. It made me feel like he was doing well and he was happy and it provided me with a great sense of comfort to know he was being well taken care of. I would recommend Maria and her family for pet sitting. Maria herself was very nice and welcoming to me and my family. Eric seemed very pleasant and sweet and Penny was a beautiful and lovable dog, whom I wanted to bring home with us. Lol. Glad we picked them for Scrappy. Thank you Maria, Eric and Penny!!! All the best, Victoria, Tom and Scrappy
Lorena took such great care of our girl when we are away on our honeymoon. We found her last minute as our previous dog sitting plans fell through and we can honestly say we will definitely use her again! Our girl can be picky but she absolute loved Lorena. She sent us daily photos and updates which we really appreciated. We wanted our dog to not miss a beat when we were gone and this is exactly what Lorena provided. She was very happy in her care. 100% recommend!
Emma was a wonderful pet sitter to our 5 month puppy. She was gentle and kind. She provided updates and pictures. Administered rx medicine daily. Provided daily exercise and active play with the help of her pup. I felt that my puppy was always in great hands the entire stay.
I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Lauren and Kenny. They took amazing care of my 9 month old pup Melo, while I was away for the week. From the very beginning communication was clear and consistent I received regular updates and videos that really helped put my mind at ease. Melo came back not only happy and healthy but noticeably calmer and more balanced which really says a lot about the quality of care he received. It’s clear that Lauren and Kenny treats the dogs they watch like their own. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!
