1. Carla V.


“She did a great job with my two boys. She communicate daily and even took the time to do somethings I told her on how to extra spoil them. I can honestly after a few years of trying I've finally found someone I trust dog/housesit.”


2. Erin D.

“Erin did an amazing job with my fur babies. Would absolutely book her again! My house was clean and she washed bedding! She also did a lot of shoveling snow while we were away! So appreciative of all she did!”


3. Jason F.

“Jason did a great job looking after my Tucker and Trixie. Even suffered through my pestering him as this was the first time I've used a service like this with a smile. I was nervous. Lol. Would definitely use Jason again.”


4. Allison C.
“Allison has been staying at my home to watch my dog and cat when I've been out of town over the last 2 years and has been nothing but wonderful to work with. She sends frequent pictures and updates and the house is always tidy when we get home. I feel especially great knowing she has veterinary experience and is comfortable giving medications and dealing with issues as they arise.”


5. Melissa H.

“Melissa was awesome with our dog, very communicative and took care of Einstein with the affection that we had hoped for. We will certainly look to use Melissa again!”

“Alexis is a wonderful cat sitter! She is professional and sent photos of our cats during her visit. We will continue to have her come by when we need a cat sitter.”


7. Emma B.
“Emma has been our farm sitter of choice for years. At 16 years old, she was far more responsible than many older adults. She is capable, knowledgeable and willing to work. She clearly loves all animals and can handle difficult situations with a calm, cool head. I have the very highest regard for her!”


8. Nathan B.

“Nate did a great job watching our pup for the weekend. Crockett had a great time, we had good communication with Nate, and received updates when expected. I highly recommend him!”


9. Michael L.
“Michael L. has done a wonderful job while watching my dog, taking her out on long walks sometimes on nature trails. He makes sure to clean up for her and also talks to other animals when going by. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone needing a dog walker or for a animal sitter.”


10. Susan C.
“Susan is one of the few people in the world I would trust with my beloved dog. She is compassionate and kind, but firm when needed. Susan is a naturally nurturing and caring person. She is responsible and reliable . I have seen her with many kinds of dogs from lap dogs to pit bulls and she is confident and relaxed with all. If you need dog sitting, I can promise your pet will be in great hands with Susan Colby.”


11. Caroline C.

“Caroline did an amazing and thorough job with our fur baby! We had last minute travel plans come up and she was still able to accommodate our crazy schedule. She took multiple walks with Zeke and was great at communicating and sending pictures. Zeke is a pretty anxious dog, but he was comfortable with her right away, as were we! She asked questions that showed she genuinely was interested in making sure he was comfortable. We will definitely be booking Caroline again and would highly recommend her!”


12. Zanae B.

“Thank you!! Zanae has watched my 9 week old pup twice and we had a great experience both times!”


13. Atlas B.

“Atlas is the best dog sitter we’ve found on this app - probably that we’ve found ever. We cannot recommend her more highly. She went above and beyond for our dogs and was quickly our reactive dog’s favorite person. We’ll be booking with Atlas for all our future travel and dog sitting needs.”


14. Julie M.
“I have known Julie for decades, and would trust her with my own beloved pet or even my children. Julie is very responsible and dependable, she also has an abundance of energy needed for keeping up with the most energetic of pets. You can’t go wrong with Julie.”


15. Hallie F.
“Hallie is the most dependable person that you could ask for! She loves animals and would be perfect for this job! She has helped me with my dog Neiko whenever I have needed it and she truly loves him! She is incredibly honest and responsible and I can't say enough good about her. You would be lucky to have her look after your pet!”


16. Haley W.

“Haley was awesome! She took care of our puppy and cat for a week. They were both so happy! She gave them so much attention and kept us informed while we were away. When we came home the house was spotless! Our pets were relaxed and you could tell she spent a great deal of time with them to keep them entertained. We will definitely hire Haley again!”


17. Ruby N.
About: I've had two dogs my whole life and I've been expected to feed them since I was 10. My family has trusted me to take care of their pets while they were away and for a little, over a year, I've been taking care of a neighbor's elder greyhound, including walking, feeding, letting it out, and picking up after it. I'm currently a sophomore at my college which is in Aurora, NY, which means I'm strictly able to do dog walking and house sitting during the summer months or breaks from school when I'm visiting my parents in Maine. During the summer, I'd prefer to walk in the morning before it gets hot, but I can walk in the afternoon if that works better for people. I'm able to do dog walking and house sitting, but I can't have other animals at my house because my dogs tend me reactive toward other animals and people, especially other dogs that are on their property. I'm very willing to walk dogs, big or small, near a client's home or at a place nearby. I'm willing to drive if the dog has a typical walking route. I'm very flexible, especially if it makes the dog more comfortable. I've also walked and grown up around Berenese Mountain Dogs, so I know how to handle every dog breed, since I've grown up with dogs as small as Boston Terriers and as big as Great Danes and St. Bernards.


18. Anna S.
About: I've loved and taken care of dogs my whole life. I grew up with a small dog, now well into her senior years, who I often still pet-sit. I have successfully raised a litter of beautiful, healthy puppies since birth, who I also successfully leash-trained, crate-trained, and potty-trained. I currently live with two high-energy dogs who I adore and dedicate most of my free time towards training and caring for. I'm currently working from home and I make my own schedule, so I have lots of time to dedicate to your pet! They will be able to get potty breaks and one-on-one care whenever they need it. If I'm pet-sitting for you, the same applies! I will be attentive to your pet's specific needs and pay careful attention to any and all instructions you leave to me for your pet's care.


19. Keagan M.
“Keagan is one of the most loving and caring people that I know. He has helped raise and take care of 3 dogs as well as owned several smaller animals while growing up. He absolutely LOVES his pets and treats them as family members. I am 100% confident that he would treat others pets with the same level of love and care.”


20. Anna A.
About: I have had dogs and cats most of my life. I also have a year of experience with dog sitting 3 dogs who needed extra care including medications. I know that not all dogs have the same needs and am well versed in caring for them. And enjoy every second of it as I love animals ! :) I live in farmingdale, me, as a case manager who works from home which gives me great flexibility. Will be happy to hear from you and meet your puppies, dogs and any other type of animal you might need cared for :) I'm currently working from home so and have great flexibility with when and where I work. I can do drop ins, home visits, or in house care but the only contingency is I wont travel farther than 30 minutes from farmingdale. So just keep that in mind when booking :) I can dog walk, feed animals, administer medications, and I do provide overnight care if necessary. Whatever the needs are I am happy to accommodate! I work from home throughout the week so my schedule lends to be super flexible and have most my days open to changing if necessary I am open to however you may desire your dog/ cat to be taken care of as far as if leashed, fenced in, or safety collar. I’m open to whatever works best for you.
