I highly recommend Karla for anyone’s pet care needs. She was friendly, responsive and a delight to work with. She provided daily updates on my dog’s day with pictures. I look forward to working with her again!

I’m so happy I made the right choice and left my angel with Sam! She sent constant updates with pictures while we were on our vacation. My dog was very happy in each photo and was well taken care of. She even made sure she got her ear medication every day which was important. She got plenty of walks everyday and lots of playtime. I appreciate her dedication to making sure she feels at home. Zula blended in with her family seamlessly. I HIGHLY recommend Sam😊.

From the start Wendy was so easy to work with for scheduling and quick to respond. She sent photos and check-ins throughout, which were really nice. Would definitely book again and recommend boarding with Wendy.

Rachel took great care of Val as always! I got lots of updates and pictures throughout my trip. Val has really grown to love Rachel and her family. Rachel’s place really is her second home.

Doris is a soft-spoken, sweet and genuine person who relates very well to dogs. My dog, who has a lot of anxiety, went and leaned against Doris' legs almost immediately at our meet-and-greet, and was put at ease by her calmness and gentle manner. She's a natural!

Erica is amazing!!! She takes the absolute best care of my Lucy! Lucy is super sensitive & nervous, doesn’t go anywhere without me. I pull up to Erica”s & Lucy is jumping out of car to go in… so happy. She doesn’t normally socialize with other dogs & I get pics of her hanging out with the pack. Priceless!!!

My dog is like my furry kid. He’s very special to me so whenever I have to leave him I get super anxious. Lenford eased that anxiety. He was very warm and welcoming to me and my dog. He made me feel like I had nothing to worry about and that my dog was in caring hands. He’s also really communicative. He sent me lots of pictures and video to keep my updated on how my dog was doing in his care. Lenford is amazing and will be my go to from now on,

I needed to find a last minute sitter as my usual one is unavailable. She is local to me which is great. We arranged for a meet and greet with our dogs and all went well (her dogs are so sweet!). She is very accommodating to my dog's needs and after picking her up the next day, she was so exhausted from a great time with Lauren and her family (humans and pets). We will definitely be booking with Lauren again!

Max loves staying with Thai! We knew he was in good hands when we left Max to go out of town for a couple of days. Max also enjoys the company of Thai’s dog Dexter. I think Max finds his presence comforting and it eases his anxiety. Sometimes Max won’t eat at other dog sitter’s, but he had no problem with this at Thai’s. I highly recommend!

I am a repeat customer of Lina’s and will always trust my cat with her. I knew my cat was in great hands. Lina is very responsive and sends daily photos and shares updates. She kept my cat very entertained and clearly was great company for him. He was very happy. She has been flexible in scheduling which has also been a tremendous help. I was traveling internationally with a delayed flight back, but Lina was very easy to communicate with and make arrangements with. My Miso has a lovely time with her and will be seeing her again!

David and his wife were FANTASTIC! They treated my dog Tati with love and care. She has horrible separation anxiety so we are selective with who we trust but we would definitely hire them again. They sent regular updates and were really responsive. I’m happy to have found a reliable sitter in Bushwick and would highly recommend!

Steven and Jennifer were great. This was our first time boarding our 2 boys and we were anxious and did not want to separate them. They sent us pictures and videos of the boys playing with their dog daily. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is nervous about leaving their dogs with strangers. They are good people who will care for your fur babies with care and affection.

Karla was great, she was very communicative with messages and photos. My border collie has a lot of energy and she did a great job taking him out to play with other dogs and get a lot of outdoor time. Will 100% use her again.

Anton came through for me with a super last-min request and was great with Alfie. He took him to the park to burn off energy, sent plenty of photos, and Alfie was happily tired when I picked him up. Highly recommend!

Edith was amazing! Highly recommend her. Great communication and would send us daily photo updates. Which we appreciated so much! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone outside of family and we never once felt like he wasn't with family because of her responsiveness. She would also make sure he would get his daily walks in. I would definitely use Edith again.
