“Erin is fantastic! She obviously loves dogs and took excellent care of Izzy. She sent lots of pictures so I could see what they were doing all day and all the belly rubs that Izzy was getting :-) Erin is very responsive and responsible with excellent and timely communication. I look forward to having Izzy stay with Erin again during vacations or just for the day. Thank you Erin for all the love!”


“Lisa was very professional and answered my last-minute request promptly. She took care of my cat very well in two visits and did more than was asked. Her service was much appreciated.”


About: About us 👋 Hey we’re Doug & Catherine and we’ve professionally fostered and taken care of dogs for the past 5 years. We also both grew up with dogs at home. We love that we get the ability to give dogs a safe and loving home (even if it’s just for a day!) We are comfortable leash training, helping dogs through any trauma and dealing with dogs who are timid around other animals or humans. We also don’t mind big or small! ✨BEFORE BOOKING PLEASE NOTE ✨ • If you’re a new client we kindly ask that you request one doggy daycare before booking any long term boarding to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. We have many regulars who we’ve built strong relationships with and want to make sure we can do the same for any new pups too. • We only look after one rover dog at a time and also have no dogs of our own. So yours will be the only one in our home. Our schedule ⏰ We both work from home and have very flexible schedules so walks and potty breaks are all part of our daily routine and can be done whenever needed. We often go to parks morning and night to give your dog space to run and enjoy the outdoors. Our apartment 🏡 We have a large ground floor apartment with a backyard to give your dog lots of indoor and outdoor space. We have dog blankets, toys, yummy treats and a crate to make you dog feel right at home

“Jenna provided lots of photos for her visit with Sunny. Jenna refilled the water bowl, cleaned the litter box, and gave some attention to Sunny while we were gone. She was an excellent caretaker and I highly recommend her!”


“Candice was very warm, communicative, and professional! Starbuck absolutely loved her, and I came home to a very happy cat after my first trip away in over two years. I would absolutely recommend Candice, and I'll book her again the next time I have to travel and leave my baby.”


“Sebastian took amazing care of our cat, Mars. In addition to a super straight-forward booking process with quick responses, Sebastian sent us 10+ photos of Mars each visit, which assured me that she was doing well in our absence. He also followed all of our care instructions closely, even getting Mars (who is notoriously lazy) to play with him. I will most definitely be rebooking with Sebastian!”

About: I have had dogs all my life. I know how to take care walk, train, play, feed and house sit them. I am great with teach puppies and have also dealt with senior dogs one who was legally blind. I currently work from home and take care of my mom. I am free mostly after 2:30pm-8pm Monday-Saturday and Sunday from 12pm-8pm. I have a regular walks between 11:30-2pm in the city so I am not available at during this time Mon-Sat. I live in an apartment in queens and they will have space to run around the house. I also do have dogs toys and treats and will be there to keep them entertained. I have water and food bowls, plus wee wee pads just in case if it is needed.

About: I grew up in Italy surrounded by animals — dogs, cats, even rabbits. Taking care of them has always been part of my daily life. I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs who need a bit more patience and gentle care. I’m naturally calm and very patient, which helps animals feel safe and comfortable around me. I treat every dog as if it were my own. I’m home most of the day, with a flexible schedule that allows me to focus on pet care. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding routines, or simply companionship, I can adapt easily. Eliot and I spend most of the day together, so your dog will be part of a calm and caring environment where there’s always company and structure. Your dog’s safety is my priority. I live in a peaceful, pet-friendly apartment with no hazards, and I never leave pets unattended during walks or play. Eliot, our puppy, is friendly and well-socialized, and I always supervise any interactions to ensure they are safe and positive. I follow each dog’s routine and needs, and I take the time to build trust with them through calm and respectful handling.

“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Lihan! She took such incredible care of our dogs, Boogie and Gustavo, while we were away. From the very beginning, she was communicative, reliable, and so kind. Lihan followed our detailed care instructions perfectly, including feeding schedules, playtimes, and even the little things like wiping Boogie’s paws and making sure the pups felt comfortable and loved. She handled everything with such care and attention to detail. Not only did Boogie and Gustavo get plenty of exercise and affection, but Lihan also kept our home tidy and sent us updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. We could tell our pups were happy and relaxed in her care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely great with animals, Lihan is absolutely the best. We feel so lucky to have found her and will definitely be asking her to watch Boogie and Gustavo again! Thank you so much, Lihan, for everything!”


“Nitisha was wonderful throughout her time with my pup! He clearly loved and felt comfortable with her in her visits. Lots of cuddles and play time. Nitisha also made sure to send lots of photos throughout her time with him which made me feel confident he was being well taken care and that she was very attentive. Will absolutely use her again!”


“Annie was fantastic! She was so friendly, communicative, and took great care of our cat while we were away. She spent the time snuggling him on her drop-ins and took lots of pictures and videos for us. We would definitely recommend Annie.”
