“Savana was great with our pups, giving them all the attention they needed and then some! We didn’t have to worry. They were in their home and loved for 9 days and we appreciate all she did! Looking forward to next time! 💕”


“Kayla watched our two pups this past weekend and did a fantastic job. She sent pics throughout the visit and kept us updated on how they were doing. You could tell they felt right at home with her! Highly recommend for any of your sitting needs!”

“David took care of everything and everyone—from our Velcro dog who became his best bud to our 16 year old very shy kitty who ended up snuggling up and sleeping with him. It was so nice to come home to happy healthy pets and everything at the house taken care of. I highly recommend David and will be seeking out his services again. Thank you!!!”


“I can't recommend Kristin enough! She took incredible care of Buzz, while I was away on such short notice. It was clear she genuinely loves animals and knew exactly how to make buzz feel comfortable and safe. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. She definitely became my dog's new best friend!”


“Teresa like always was very good with communicating. She sent me pics and videos of my dog constantly and asked questions to make sure she was taking care of him correctly. I felt very calm leaving my dog under Teresa’s care!”


“Nicole watched our cats for our wedding and because of it we had nothing to worry about on our special day. Five stars does not cut it when it comes to how incredible Nicole is!”


“Anastasia never fails us. She is super with our dogs and loves to watch them. Our pups and house are left in tip top shape when we arrive home. There are little extras she does that blows us away. She is our go-to for pet care these days.”


“My two Jack Russell’s had a great time with Shannon while she did a 5 day house sit with them. Shannon regularly kept us up to date on their wellbeing with pictures and texts. She also was able to help us out for an extra day when our flight was delayed returning home and ensured the dogs were still taken care of while we were delayed getting home. The house looked great when we got back and we had two happy pups. Thanks again Shannon!”


About: I’ve had two dogs in my lifetime each for 12 years and I’ve always loved to be around them and to make sure they were safe and felt happy. I treat each pet like family. My reliability, calm demeanor and love for animals make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I will walk the dog everyday and I can board dogs every weekend. I have experience taking care of a French bulldog named Randy. Sometimes I go there to take care of him and other times I bring him to my apartment. I have space in our apartment for the dog to roam around and I live in a safe dog friendly neighborhood in which we can take the dog for long walks near a park and a pond.

About: Hello! I’m Tara I’ve been taking care of pets since I was kid. I have 3 of my own. An active large dog and two sweet cats. I’m adaptive and really love animals. I work in the film industry and have insane hours. Rover has been a life saver for me. I understand the need for sitter and how important it is to have somebody treat your pets with the same love and care you do. I could help fill in for regular walkers or give full time care at the moment. My dog blue gets walked 5-10 times a week and on the weekends we plan fun hikes. I’m experienced with pet sitting in other homes or even taking pets overnight if you’re comfortable with that and if our animals get along. My dog has insane allergies and I’m used to administering medications. I follow directions very well and promise to give your pet the care they deserve. I’ll take your pup on adventures or even just come by to keep them company and let them out. My dog is always on a leash in public places. My care can vary to you and your pets specific needs! I’m here for all the funny quirks and specific personalities of any pet. I’m experienced with cats, dogs, bunnies, and even reptiles! Heck I’ll water you plants too lol.

I will give your furry friends the time of their life because I’ll love them like my own!

About: With a large yard and work from home schedule I am able to give any pet the attention and care they require. I have had pets, mainly dogs for my entire life and enjoy spending my time with them. I have a corgi that needs a lot of attention since I am home all the time I am able to provide him with the best care. I give my dog daily walks, occasional treats, on time meals and a comfortable schedule that works for me and my dog. I make sure to give my dog plenty of attention, care and love which all dogs require. I also do not believe in putting dogs in cages or keeping them locked up in rooms or anywhere by themselves.

“Julia did a fantastic job watching our Maggie. I contacted her last minute (we had her scheduled, then canceled, and when our plans changed we contacted her in a panic to see if she was still available), and she was able to do so. She visited Maggie 4 times a day and contacted us each time she was there. She sent us pictures as well. It was the first time we left Maggie alone overnight and we were a little nervous about how she would be, but Julia eased our minds with the updates and everything went well. I will definitely use her services in the future and I highly recommend her!”


“Rebecca was so great dog sitting our two jack russells for the week. She sent daily updates, pictures and even provided updates on our house and chickens. Look forward to using her services again.”


“Vanessa was able to watch our dog (and two bunnies!) overnight in our home when we had a last minute cancellation. She was also able to come and meet us to get instructions with literally hours notice, which truly was a life saver. All of our animals are happy and our house was left immaculate as well. Vanessa was in constant communication with us throughout our one day away to send us photos and ask questions if needed. Will definitely utilize Vanessa again!!”


About: I love animals and always have. I am not partial to only dogs or only cats, I love them equally but have the most experience with cats. I have had small dogs/cats/small animals since I was child. The pets in my life have always been very happy and healthy and lived well into their old age. I currently have a 10 year old cat, a 2 year old cat and 5 year old special needs cat. The vet is always surprised with how young my pets seem based on their health. I have past experience as a kennel tech at RBARI during college and comfortable with administering meds to kitties. I’ve also had kitty clients need insulin and administered that to them twice daily. My initial rate is higher as I offer a full hour visit the first time to ensure the pet is comfortable with me. After the first visit, if an hour is not needed, rates can be adjusted. *** Important Note about Availability*** July 1-5 I will be in bedside Brooklyn and only available in that region. Thank you! My work schedule varies from month to month. Please check my calendar for the most up-to-date schedule. I try to keep it as updated as possible. However, you are free to reach out and ask for dates that are booked as there may be changes that I didn’t get a chance to update. Thank you! I will treat your pets with the same love I would treat my own! I am only available in your home. I love being active and will be happy to go on lots of walks and play with your dog or cat regularly.

Beth N.

“When we lost our dogwalker of several years a few months ago, we were very nervous about finding a new one. We found Beth, and she stepped right in flawlessly. She has been walking my 80 lb terrier mix daily for several months now, and she has been great! She picked up all my dogs little nuances Immediately , and he already loves her and looks forward to her arrival each day. She is extremely reliable and trustworthy, and has yet to have missed a single day. She has also been extremely flexible and easy to work with on those couple of occasions when something popped up, and we needed to adjust our plans. She is now walking several of my neighbors animals as well. If you need a responsible, reliable dog walker that you can trust your loved one to, Beth would be a great choice!”

Leigh L.
“Leigh has a keen understanding of how to identify and handle a dog's emotions, needs, and attitude. It is a talent she has acquired through years of dog ownership, dog caregiving, and volunteer work with pets. I have a dog with anxiety who sometimes is quick to bite if he feels threatened by a new person he has not yet had time to properly grow comfortable with. Leigh astounded me with how she managed my dog in a soothing way to keep him calm and happy when she watches him. I recommend Leigh for all dog breeds and temperaments.”
