“Olivia took such great care of our dogs and cats while we were away! She was very communicative and sent adorable photos which put us at ease while we were out of town. Thank you!!”

“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 took absolutely perfect care of our Corgi 💕 She sent pictures and updates often and always ensured Kensli was getting everything we could have asked for. 10/10 would recommend”


“Jaixa was an amazing caretaker for my dog Scarlet! They were so sweet and pleasant to work with, and kept me updated with cute pics of Scarlet on walks. I could tell she was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Jaixa—your pup will be in great hands! 🐾💖”


“Maija is a sweetheart and a natural with dogs! I had her house sit for my frenchie and I felt very comfortable while I was away. She asked questions and you can tell she genuinely cares. She is also very professional. She sent me pics and updates and I am very happy with the service. My dog loved her too! I highly recommend!!”


“This was our second time using Stephanie for house sitting. My generally fearful cat is very comfortable with her which is such a relief - I’m not having to stress being away from her. Will absolutely continue to use Stephanie until she’ll no longer have us.”


“Fatima was absolutely amazing! She houses at our golden retriever Willow for ten days and was absolutely fabulous. She was responsive, sent several daily updates, and made sure that she had daily walks/outings. She really cares about the animals she cares for and it truly shows. She took amazing care of our apartment as well! We will definitely be rebooking her in the future!”


“Ammon has been incredibly kind, conscientious, communicative, and courteous with my complicated loaf of a bulldog Ziggy. I know Manhattan is a challenging place to own a dog, but I also know that finding good, reliable care is hard to come by. I highly recommend Ammon for all of your dogsitting needs.”


“Scott was absolutely wonderful with our quirky pup! He gave great updates and was very communicative. Our dog loved him and we will definitely be using him as our sitter in the future!”



“Kayla was an incredible cat sitter! They were extremely responsive and understanding, and truly wanted the best for my babies. The night before I left, I had an emergency, and they rearranged their schedule to help out—which made the whole ordeal so much less stressful. I came home to a spotless house and a very happy kitty who clearly enjoyed his weekend! My cat is a rescue, and I wasn’t sure how he’d react to a stranger. Kayla was patient and gentle, coaxed him out of hiding, and by the end of the weekend he had made a new friend. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!”


“Wei house sat for Mochi, our 14 month old Miniature American Shepard, from 04/24/2024 - 04/28/2024 and she did a phenomenal job! This was our first trip away since adopting Mochi, so we were a little nervous about leaving her alone. From the beginning, Wei was very gentle and friendly with Mochi. Wei also fed Mochi as per our detailed instructions, took her for regular walks to Central Park, and shared adorable photos with us regularly. Wei put our minds at ease and allowed us to really enjoy our vacation. We would definitely book Wei again to house sit for Mochi!”


“Dan was an excellent sitter and we cannot wait to have him watch Pepe again soon. He provided constant communication with us and made a sincere effort to make sure that we knew Pepe was safe and comfortable. His schedule worked well with ours since we also work 8 hour shifts in the city. Pepe was able to maintain his normal daily routine. We couldn't recommend Dan more!”


“Katherine is truly a special one. Not only was she diligent in her communication, but she went above and beyond to make sure our little guy was taken care of. She is incredibly responsible, kind, compassionate, and just a joy to be around. Please book her!”



“Leta just spent 5 nights with my beloved Frankie. He’s 80lbs of love and snuggles, but he’s also particular. Leta followed his schedule perfectly, communicated every morning with photos and updates, reached out with questions when needed and most importantly kept Frankie very happy! My home was left spotless and all of the staff she encountered in my building had only wonderful things to say about her as well. My hope is that she enjoyed Frankie and our home as much as we enjoyed having her so we can do it again very soon.”


“Abby was a fantastic sitter for our two cats! She was super communicative and sent great photos and videos. One of our cats is very timid with new people but he came out very quickly for Abby - which says a lot about her! When we came back, our boys looked very happy and the apartment was in great condition. I would absolutely recommend Abby to others and would love to have her watch my cats again in the future!”


“Alexis is an absolute gem in looking after my dog. Reliable, caring, and attentive, they always ensure my pup is well cared for, happy, and comfortable. I appreciate her.”
