“Mahlet is incredible. Our cat loves her and is endlessly loved and stimulated when under her care. When we were stranded in Florida for two days, Mahlet was able to stop by to play with and feed our cat without issue. We love Mahlet!”
“I can’t thank Elizabeth enough for stepping in last minute to take care of my cats, Daisy and Missy, over the weekend. She was incredibly kind, reliable, and made my babies feel so loved and cared for—it really put my mind at ease. It’s clear she has a genuine love for animals, and my kittens absolutely adore her. This is the second time I’ve booked her and plan to keep doing so! Highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a truly wonderful cat sitter.”
“Everything was great. Followed our pets schedule and provided plenty of love. The house was very clean when we returned so that was a huge bonus. Will definitely use again in the future”
“Alejandra was so helpful and kind. She sent us videos and photos daily. Luna loved her- and Luna can be picky. Would def. request that she watch Luna again! Also referring her to friend who needs a good sitter!”
“Maija was great with our 2 dogs! This was first time having her watch our dogs and we felt at ease while on vacation for a week. She sent us updates everyday and pictures throughout the week too so we knew everything was going okay. Even the doormen in our building were impressed with her & how she took care of our dogs. Would definitely recommend Maija!”
“We loved having Crystal house sit our two kittens! She was very responsive and sent us updates on our kittens with cute photos to make us feel assured. She left the house in a great shape, and we’d love having her back!”
“Marlene took great care of my dogs while I was away. She was very responsive and sent lots of photos and updates. I know that she loved my dogs to pieces while I was away and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker or sitter. 🥰”
“Ammon put our holiday travel concerns at ease! Our cat has some separation anxiety so we have to have someone stay with him when we leave for more than a day or two. She came over for a meet and greet as soon as we booked the stay. Right away we could just tell that our cat liked her! During the stay at our home Ammon was very communicative, sent updates each day, and everything went very well. Our cat usually takes a few days to warm up to people and within the first few hours she already had him on the couch with her snuggling! She also took great care of our apartment. Everything was very clean and left just as we had it. Thank you Ammon!”
“I have booked with Natalia multiple times for my puppy, Watson. She is a fantastic communicator and very reliable. I feel completely at ease relying on Natalia to look after my dog.”
“Rachel did a house stay with our pet rabbit for two weeks and she did an amazing job! She kept us informed every day when she was arriving / leaving and shared daily photos. She always comes on time and is super attentive to any care instructions, asking great questions if something is unusual with the pet. We came back to both the house and pet all in great shape - we are always super appreciative of Rachel! Would highly recommend.”
“Rebecca was a great sitter for our dog and cat. She was very responsive and kept us updated while we were away. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Michael was great with Major! He was very accommodating with the start and end times and did a great job with my handicapped dog who has a few special needs. I'm looking forward to working together again.”
“Nicole was such a great sitter for our 3 month old 40lb little bear. Nicole was early, attentive to every single need of puppy, kind, respectful, and just a joy to be around. We highly recommend her to anyone considering her and we definitely plan to uses her services again!”
“Paris was a very thoughtful, conscientious and professional cat and house sitter. She was very communicative throughout her stay, sending us videos pictures and updates on our elderly cat, whether he was eating and taking his meds well, etc. She has a calm and laid back energy, but was also prompt about answering our questions/check-ins and asked thoughtful questions when we did our meet and greet. She left our house incredibly tidy and clean - my husband said he had never seen it look so good except when we are preparing for company. All in all I would recommend Paris and would ask her to return again.”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I am currently a dog mom to a French Bulldog and a kitten. I am comfortable providing medicine as well. I work a flexible schedule & have plenty of availability to take care of your baby. I can be available during the week as well as the weekend. I will treat your pets like my own! I will make sure your fur baby is fed, uses the bathroom appropriately & will give lots of playtime & pets if they want that.
“Devynn treated our two pups like they were her own. One of our dogs is a little anxiety riddled guy who never likes anyone and Devynn had him snuggling with her in a short time. She was able to give him his doggy Prozac with ease. She also took great care of our puppy who is still potty training. We came home to both pups having had a great time with her. I would recommend Devynn as she is very kind and caring- and comes highly recommended by both Rowdy and Winnie.”
“I recently had Severine take care of my two dogs and two cats over the weekend, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Severine stayed at my apartment to take care of them and did an excellent job. She also took some great photos while I was gone. If you're looking for a reliable pet sitter, I wholeheartedly recommend Severine!”
About: I have cared for dogs of all ages, from senior dogs to puppies. I work from home most day of the week so I can watch your pet all day. I work full time but work from home 3 days of the week, so I have plenty of time throughout the day to take your pet out for walks and play together. My apartment is spacious and has room to play. I live 5 minutes away from green space to go for walks. The apartment building has multiple security doors which makes it extra safe.

Our dog Gobi loves Renee! He can be nervous but he warmed up to her so quickly. He even got upset when she had to leave 🥹. She sent lovely updates and pictures throughout the day and even washed all our dishes for us which was so kind of her! We feel so lucky to have found her for Gobi!
I was so happy to find Emelin in the neighborhood to take care of our 2 cats during our trip. She is communicative, helpful, and took great care of our fur babies! This was the longest we’ve ever been separated from our cats so it was amazing to find someone we could trust with our cats and home.
I always feel like the luckiest girl in the world when Kristina is free to stay with my five kitties! She’s so incredibly knowledgeable and experienced so I feel like I don’t have to be glued to my phone in case an issue arises with one of my dingbats. Her communication is stellar, my apartment is always spotless when I return, and the most important part: my cats ADORE her. There are certain cuddles my cats only do with me and no one else, even if a person visits regularly. Well, Kristina is the exception! They are doing the “mama only” cuddles on Kristina within a day!
Ella stayed overnight at our house and took good care of our 13-year-old Havanese. She was thoughtful in giving him space at the start of her stay so he could acclimate to her presence. She followed instructions and was super responsive. Rio had some separation anxiety when he was left alone and Ella made sure to return to him as quickly as possible. Thank you Ella for helping Rio feel comfortable.
Rachel was awesome! My two dogs are not left often with a pet sitter - I am always worried about leaving them with someone I haven't met. This was a last minute trip to NYC so Rachel and I talked on the phone prior to her pet sitting. I knew right away after talking to her that my dogs would love her. I left them with her in our hotel room for 4.5 hours. She sent pictures and updates. My evening was stress free, thanks to Rachel!
Rebecca beard as a dog sitter has been extraordinarily helpful. She has done the hard work of taking care of three animals all at once. My cat Swiss even looked like he enjoyed it, with his tongue out zoning out! Saying that my big dog Goliath enjoyed it is also an understatement, and same with mini! Somehow, in the photos, Rebecca made them look happier than me on vacation! Rebecca worked hard taking care of my dogs and my cat, so I would like to place more than a 5 star, but as you know, I can’t. Five stars, amazing!
Olivia was very sweet with Gobi and took wonderful care of him! He has a special lunch that needs to be mixed together which she kindly did for us. He is a cautious boy who needs a little TLC and patience sometimes but she let him warm up at his own pace and pretty quickly he trusted her and asked to play :) We would love to have Olivia watch Gobi again in the future! Thank you!
Sabrina was incredible with our pup Ricky! She sent updates and plenty of pictures while we were away for the weekend. She was very flexible and accommodating for us and I think she might have had more fun watching our dog than we did on our vacation. I would recommend her and use her services again anytime. Thank you Sabrina!
Michael was an excellent sitter for Stormi, our 5-year-old Chow Chow. She can be timid around strangers, but Michael handled her with patience and care. While his responses on the first day were a little slow, we explained our anxiety about leaving Stormi with someone new, and he completely understood. From then on, he kept us reassured with plenty of updates, photos, and videos over the next two days. Michael was punctual, polite, and friendly, and he left the room tidy and clean. We’d be happy to have him care for Stormi again the next time we’re in the city. Thank you, Michael!
We couldn’t be happier with Alia as our dog sitter! Her updates are always incredibly detailed, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She truly includes Romeo in all of her daily activities, making sure he’s part of the fun and never feels left out. From the very start, Romeo was bonded to her—so much so that he actually cried after she left the first time! Alia is incredibly attentive to his needs and has even continued working on the training we started with him to help curb his reactivity to other dogs while on leash. Whether it’s mealtime, walks, or just extra snuggles, she’s always making sure he’s happy and comfortable. On top of that, Alia is consistently punctual and dependable. We know Romeo is in the best hands with her, and we’re so grateful to have found someone who treats him like her own.
Martina has been such a gift to us. Our cat Kenai really needed someone loving to watch after him. It was his first time being here on his own, and we had Martina stay with him. When we came back, he was very happy to see us but not in the desperate way of a cat feeling abandoned. He had obviously felt safe and loved. She sent us videos and photographs. She is a gifted photographer. One photo is my phone screen. She is a lovely person. What a joy to go away and not feel worried. At all.
