1. Ninoska R.

“I needed someone to care for my timid foster dog, and Ninoska was the perfect choice. Her glowing reviews gave me confidence, and she exceeded my expectations. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, and her fenced yard gave me peace of mind. My pup felt right at home with her, her dog, and her warm environment. Thank you, Ninoska—I’ll definitely return!”


2. Neide P.

“We went to Newyork and nearby places for a vacation. Neide was an absolute blessing to take care my little baby Leo. He is a momma’s boy and doesn’t like to stay away from me. We both love to believe that he is out of my womb 😂. Neide did a fantastic job in taking care of him and giving him the love that he was missing while we were away. I wish I have Neide near my home so I can do more vacations that I do. She is absolute best and 💯 I will reach out to her if I am around the area”

She stayed with him and kept me updated with lots of pictures, which made me feel calm and relaxed knowing he was in great hands. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being, and I came home to a very happy pup. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”

“Nitasha's welcoming attitude when we met a few days prior set a positive tone for the entire experience. I'm delighted to share that not only did my dogs come home happy, but her daily videos, photos, and detailed walk recaps demonstrated her genuine care. I highly recommend Nitasha's dog sitting service for a warm, reliable, and joyful experience.”


8. Desiree B.

“Desiree did amazing job with my little Buddy when I was away. He had some appetite changes, and Desiree was patient with him and made sure he was able to eat. He is well rested and content after his stay. I appreciate how caring and kind Desiree is with my little pup. 😊😊😊”


9. Miruna B.

“There aren’t enough nice things to say about Miruna!! She is the best dog sitter! We had last minute plans fall through for dog sitting options so we went to Miruna a few days before we needed her for an 11 day dog sitting job. Miruna was ready immediately and took Prince in with ease. She was absolutely the best with taking care of our little guy. She was extremely communicative and sent us pictures and videos of Prince throughout the days. We were always certain he was getting the best care and was having a blast the entire time! She even got him a new toy and a little outfit to keep!”

I highly recommend him and would definitely have her stay with them again on my next trip ??”


18. Noelle A.

“Noelle and her fam are THE BEST. My lil guy is a high energy, very sassy mini poodle, and they reassured me he’d be fine. And he was! They sent constant updates, and even a video of him dancing with her husband lol. Chili had an amazing time with his friends. We found our permanent sitter!!!! Thank you guys again 🫶🏻”


19. Alison & David L.


“Allison was superb updating me and very organized. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog for the first time with a service as my family always watched my dogs. It was a good way to try for only a couple of days as all I needed at this time. Allison’s family was also a plus and thank you again for this type of service I heard about through my son tho he has a person come to his house. Can I be sure my son gets his referral fee. My best and Ty! Debbie Testa”


20. David R.

“David and his partner were the best sitters we could have asked for! Our puppy, Violet, has many needs as she is highly anxious and easily terrified. David and his partner went above and beyond with their patience and love for Violet, and it was clear she loved them when we picked her up. David sent us multiple updates per day with helpful and honest information about how Violet was doing, and the most adorable pictures that I am so grateful for. It is clear David is a dog expert and dog lover, and most importantly a compassionate and kind person. I would highly recommend!”
