“Leila was amazing! Would highly recommend her. She was very communicative and always went above and beyond to treat my dog with care. Will definitely use her again!”
“Lakshmi is very kind, friendly and caring, not to mention punctual and responsive. She was wonderful with my dog and I will definitely work with her again. She kept updating me with my dog’s pictures while I was away, which I really appreciated.”
“Heather is so sweet with Henri and he loved getting all the snuggles and walks. She is also very patient with him while he gets the hang of potty training.”
“Sarah was so easy to work with and sent soo many photos and made our little baby so happy on his first rover experience! Would definitely book again ☺️”
“We had a last minute cancellation 30 minutes before a sitter was to arrive. Samara responded to our request immediately and was quick to set us up to watch Poe. Poe was staying home for the day after an emergency care visit, and Samara was so kind and attentive. We informed her our concern with his loss of appetite and she took time to gently hand feed him during our suggested meal times. We were sent picture and video updates to ease our mind throughout the day. So thankful for her care and we hope to book her to watch Poe again in the future!”
“It was our first time booking Aiayana and she did a fantastic job taking care of my dog during the holiday season. We loved her personality right from our first meeting! Aiayana kept us updated by sending pictures of Ginger's daily routine and she went the extra mile when my dog had an accident on the carpet. Additionally, she left the house spotless and even cleaned my cat's litter box, which was not a part of her job. We'll definitely book her again!”
“Elizabeth was patient and understanding with my dog Day 1 was very anxious for me cuz my dog always has "stranger danger" alert on but it didn't take awhile for my dog to get used to her and they became best friends right away! She sends updates and very prompt/ attentive when there was issues with my dog. She definitely knew what to do. would 100% recommend 😀”
“Meric stayed at our place and looked after our dog, Bowie for 2.5 days. He took her out for frequent walks and sent us a variety of pictures and updates. He was able to come early on arrival and stay late on the last day as I had a late flight returning home. He kept our home very tidy and our dog seemed happy when I returned home. He was very responsible, responsive on text message and flexible. I would recommend Meric and would not hesitate to use him again.”
“Rebecca was wonderful to my 2 senior Shiba Inus. She came to the house and pet-sit for 2 nights. Followed all the instructions and was able to give medication as instructed. Was responsive, friendly, professional, and clean. Pearl who tagged along was super sweet with calm energy. Would book with Rebecca again to help me watch my dogs.”
“Rebecca is great, took great care of my Penny and I felt comfortable with her the whole time. Rebecca is punctual, communicative and awesome to work with.”
“Jane was so great with Pepper! She paid attention to all of the care instructions and asked insightful questions to make sure Pepper was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Eric is an exceptional dog walker and sitter, especially for challenging dogs. As the owner of a reactive dog, Lucy, I was incredibly nervous about finding someone capable of handling her difficult behavior. From our first contact, Eric filled me with confidence, assuring me he was up for the challenge and could 'walk the talk' (pun intended!). Despite reaching out semi-last minute and feeling stressed, Eric put us at ease from the very first walk. We took a leap of faith having him dog sit, not because of doubts about Eric, but due to Lucy's challenging nature. Our concerns were unfounded - Lucy adored him, and they worked well together. Eric promised to over-communicate while we were away, which was exactly what we needed. He never missed a beat, sending regular updates and photos that allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. My fiancée and I are grateful to have found someone so reliable and skilled in our area. You can book Eric with absolute confidence. What sets Eric apart is his ability to handle reactive dogs with patience and expertise. Thanks to him, my fiancée and I have regained a bit of our life back. Having a reactive dog is challenging, but Eric's dependable service allows us to finally enjoy some 'us time' now and then. He's not just a dog walker - he's a lifeline for pet owners dealing with difficult dogs. Eric's skills, reliability, and genuine care for animals make him an invaluable find. Highly recommended!”
“Emily was so great with my small dog. She was responsive and considerate (wiping down paws, asking questions, being punctual) as well as super friendly and, of course, great with my dog. Thanks, Emily!”
“Julie was absolutely AMAZING with my cat, Pywackett. He had accidentally scratched his eye and needed to take oral medication and get eye ointment 3x a day and I was so nervous being away for a week from him. However, Julie eased all of my anxiety and was patient, caring, and loving with Py while he was sick and I was out of town. Highly recommend Julie as a pet sitter!!!”
“Fernando’s wife Milena was an exceptional dog sitter for our puppy! She was everything you could ask for: communicative, caring, prompt. And our puppy clearly loved her!”
“Jason was incredible! He helped us with a week-of sitting and was so communicative, resourceful, and made everything easy so we could enjoy our day in NYC stress-free knowing our dog was having a great time. Highly highly recommend!!”
“Cassie was so great with Mia! She was flexible and accomodating, and I can tell from the pictures she sent that Mia really loved spending time with her. Will definitely book Cassie for sitting again!”
“Dona is absolutely wonderful. She took great care of our 2 kitties and our giant Irish Wolfhound. Our pets are usually extremely shy but they warmed up to her so fast! She also sent great updates and photos. We look forward to booking her again in the future!!”
