“Nandita took great care of my rambunctious, attention seeking golden retriever Alf! She sent update pictures frequently and seemed to genuinely love spending time with Alf. Her dog Ozzy had lots of energy and played so nicely with Alf and I’m sure he’s be happy to stay at their home any time!”
“Kevin was super kind and easy to work with! Communication was great from the beginning as he was prompt with accepting my request. I received pictures during the stay which I appreciated and helped keep my mind at ease. He asked plenty of questions to make sure everything went smoothly. My baby was her jolly self when I picked her up which lets me know she was well taken care of. He clearly has a true love for animals. I would absolutely use Kevin services in the future and recommend you give him a try 10/10.”

“Tina and Jon went above and beyond to ensure we felt completely at ease leaving our 5-year-old Italian Greyhound in their care while we traveled to Canada. They provided consistent updates throughout our entire trip, sending a plethora of videos and photos that kept us connected to our pup. The fenced-in backyard was a fantastic perk, and we loved seeing all the adventures she went on with them. If you are looking for a five-star pet sitter, Tina and Jon are the ones for you!”
“Carrigan was a wonderful sitter for our pup, Shea. We just moved from NYC and I wasn’t sure how Shea would fare in the suburbs but Carrigan and her dogs were so sweet and playful. Shea had a wonderful time and I would definitely recommend her as a sitter for anyone looking.”

“Let me tell you, ANNER was so wonderful with my furbaby, Denim!! He was patient at the first meeting since my pup needed to get acquainted first. Denim got comfy and from the video and pics sent to me, my pup was a happy camper🥰🐶Anner will be our sitter from this point on. I recommend him highly🥰”
“Wow, Karine and Ryan were such attentive caregivers for our small pup, Mikoh. We felt totally at ease leaving him with them for a week while we traveled outside the country. Karine was meticulous in caring for Mikoh, and sent multiple updates daily informing me of Mikoh's play times, eating habits, and overall wellbeing. It was also nice knowing that Mikoh was having some nice social time with other pups while we were away. I would wholeheartedly recommend their care for your pup, and look forward to working with them again in the future. Thank you!!”
“Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”
About: I love going on walks with the pets and treat them as my own. I have experience with small and big dogs, and some that need extra care. I am available daily to dog walk or dog sit in someone’s home. Also free on the weekends all day. Weekdays- early a.m. until 3pm Weekends- all day I make sure to stick to their schedule and treat them like my own. Love to play, walk, give them belly rubs/groom and go to the dog park.
“Rich was a great sitter for our dog! We had two back to back weekend trips so Rich watched Shea for 11 days. Additionally, my husbands flight home was delayed and Rich was very accommodating and flexible with picking up Shea. I would highly recommend him and would use him again!”
About: My love of dogs led me to start a dog walking business when I was only 10 yrs old. Once I finally convinced my parents to get a dog, I was 15 and we ended up with two bichon-malteses who were the loves of my life. As an adult, my career has me traveling frequently so I haven’t become a pet owner, but I continue to dogsit for friends and neighbors because I love the companionship when I’m home. I am committed to providing your dog a comfortable home away from home where they will be well cared for and loved. I work from home Mondays and Fridays so can be available for care for a long weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon). My availability may be limited based on work travel. I live in a dog friendly building, where there is greenery and walking paths around the building for daily walks and enjoy going for longer walks in nearby parks.
“We're so glad that we found Tanya! Daisy had a wonderful time, and I had a rare opportunity to meet a friend for a nice evening in New York City! We will definitely be calling on Tanya again. Highly recommended!”
“Our dogs love going to Barbara's house! I always know we found a great sitter when our lab runs right up to the door instead of trying to go back to our car. You can tell she has a profound love for dogs and is very careful to make sure yours feel like home. I will use her over and over again! Thank you!”
“Excellent. Will hire Ariel again. Pleasant and capable, she followed all care instructions to a tee for my 17 yr old dog. Responsive to all communications and kept me up to date on his well being, which I'm skitzo about because of his age.”
“Ashley was awesome with Spence! She watched him overnight and took such great care of him. The photo updates she sent were the best and totally put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so nice to see him looking relaxed and completely at home with her. Everything went so smoothly from drop-off to pick-up. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Cassidy was amazing!! I needed someone to check on my cat while I was out of the country. It was such a relief knowing that Cassidy was keeping an eye on everything and giving Katniss plenty of attention while I was away. She kept me updated everyday and was super accessible for communicating about a few questions that came up while I was gone. I would not hesitate to ask Cassidy to watch my cat again, or any other pets for that matter! Highly recommend!”

When I returned home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my girls! 🐾❤️”
“Jessica was so wonderful with our bunny Macho over the holidays! He even escaped before her first visit and she was able to lure him with blueberries safely back into his enclosure area while we were away. She is professional, communicated very well and lovely to work with! Thank you Jessica for making our holiday stress free and taking great care of Macho :)”
“Aaron did a great job! My cat, Moo, can be shy but, mid-way through the catsitting, she was coming out for pets from him. The visits were always prompt and, as requested, a 1/2 long with accompanying pictures. Aaron is very professional and I 10/10 would hire him again.”
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and grew up with three cats at home, so understanding their different personalities comes naturally to me. During college I was hired by local families to care for their cats while they traveled, and today I still cat sit for friends whenever they need help. I also have my own cat, Steve, who is shy around new people, so I know how important it is to be patient, respect a cat’s boundaries, and let them warm up at their own pace. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Chris was great with my puppy! Very attentive to both my needs and my puppy’s needs during his visits. Great communication and photos to ease my nerves. I’m would highly recommend him for any of your pets needs!!”
“Elvia truly went above and beyond in her latest house sit for our cat Dolly. We had an incident at our home shortly before we were scheduled to leave town that required our home to be aired out while we were gone. Elvia was extremely accommodating, understanding, and helpful. All the while taking excellent care of and spending quality time with our sweet kitty. We could not be more grateful to Elvia, and recommend her without reservation!”
“Nicole was so great with our cat Pepper! She sent so many photos updates and was super communicative throughout the time watching her. Would highly recommend!”
About: I grew up caring for a Maltese and a cat and now own two Belgian Malinois mixes. I’m experienced with high-energy dogs, daily walks, mental stimulation, and maintaining consistent routines. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I’m reliable about schedules, walks, feeding times, and consistent daily care. I treat every pet as my own, with a strong focus on safety, supervision, and comfort. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain a clean and secure environment, respect your home, and will provide updates for peace of mind.

“Judy was great. Met me downstairs right when I pulled up, asked ahead of time for me to bring any special toys, had plenty of different dog treats and asked which one I would prefer she give Charlie if any. She also sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was waiting for my downstairs (from her apartment) when I returned. Easy recommendation.”

Large dogs may need an overnight pen to rest in overnight for dogs over 30 pounds.

“Elizabeth is a wonderful Dogwalker. She is prompt and informative so that I have Mo 🐶 ready to go. Elizabeth made sure that Mo was comfortable as he is a senior citizen. There were water stops along the way, which was important due to extraordinarily hot & humid 🥵 week. Elizabeth even showed up in the rain ☔️ on our last day. 💫 I received 2 to 3 📸 on each walk for 7 full days☺️. Elizabeth is truly a professional delight. Very highly recommended; 10 out of 10. This a service I enjoy part of vacation as I travel. One good long walk first thing daily supported by a good Dogwalker and then I can fill in with smaller walks, especially while we are busy visiting family and friends. Thank you so much, Elizabeth! 🤩”
About: I have cared for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs of different ages and needs. I am dependable, attentive, and passionate about animal care. I enjoy spending time with dogs and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently work from home so I have a lot of free time. Why not spend time with furry friends! It’s also a great opportunity to take a breather and get fresh air during daily dog walks. When caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure that their daily routines are maintained to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also make sure the home remains clean and secure while providing pets with plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I am attentive to each pet's individual needs and committed to creating a safe, loving environment while their owners are away.
“We couldn’t be more grateful for Stefanie! She has been a true life-saver, especially after we had our baby and needed extra help. Knowing we could count on her to take care of our dog, Astro, gave us such peace of mind during a busy and exhausting time. Astro absolutely loves his walks with her, and it’s clear Stefanie treats him like her own. She’s always on time, incredibly professional, and so caring. We feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely with Astro. Stefanie truly goes above and beyond, and we can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Michelle did so great with Zephyr! We were so worried about having to leave him alone all day for the first time. He's only 8 months old, so we really needed to break up his alone time. I was so nervous, but Michelle made everything so much better! Zephyr had the best time with her and we are definitely going to have her back!”
“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”
“Nicole was amazing with my dog snowy. She always comes on time, communicates with me about snow’s walk and feeding and is super professional and helpful. She accepted a late notice booking which was a big help when I’m not home to walk my dog myself!”
“Alexandra is absolutely lovely!! She has been so patient with my 11 month old puppy, Kinley, who can be quite shy. Kinley has really warmed up to her in such a short period of time and now loves her! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and grew up with three cats, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. During college, I was hired by local families to pet sit while they traveled, often caring for their pets for extended periods. Today, I continue to pet sit for friends and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and other animals, and I always take the time to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know every pet is different, whether they love to play, go for walks, or just want a calm companion. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so I have plenty of flexibility for daytime drop-in visits. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m available in the evenings. I love fitting pet care into my routine and enjoy spending time with animals throughout the week. I’ll always communicate with you and provide updates so you know your pet is in good hands. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pet. I’ll always follow your care instructions carefully, make sure doors and windows are secure, refresh food and water, clean up after your pet, and give them the attention they need. Whether your pet is energetic or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll respect their routine and personality while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Aaron is great! He is a great communicator, always on time and understands the needs of my dog. Mia received the care and attention she needed while Aaron was with her!”
About: I have taken care of several dogs in the past of different ages. This care has included walks, dog sitting overnight and drop in’s. Some of the dogs have required medication and specialized diets. I am currently in a masters program for Occupational Therapy. I am available Monday-Thursday in the morning, Friday nights and Saturday-Sunday all day. I am near some parks with lots of grassy areas and am in a good neighborhood. I will make sure to be attentive to their needs, give them affection and keep them safe during our outings. I will abide by food restrictions and will adjust locations of walks depending on if the dogs are dog friendly/aggressive.
About: I love all pets. I’ve taken care of over seven different dogs ranging from 8 weeks old to 15+. I’ve administered medication orally and topical long walks and assistance after medical procedures.

Feel free to reach out. I’m available at all times of day and night to make sure our babies are okay I have a dog and cat we feed both twice a day the correct amount needed for them. Our dog goes on a daily walk. Other client care I do whatever the pet parent needs and wants to ensure the safety of their pet and whatever they are comfortable with.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’ve trained multiple puppies, cared for senior dogs, and have years of experience looking after cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always make sure each pet feels safe and loved. I currently work from home, so I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. At the moment, I’m not able to offer boarding, as my own pets may not adjust well to new animals in the home. My approach is calm and understanding. I like to respect each pet’s unique personality and habits. I don’t believe in being overly strict, but I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I’m the type of sitter who pays attention to the little things — routines, favorite toys, energy levels, and comfort needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I adapt to what each pet needs. I believe pets do best when they feel safe, loved, and understood, and that’s the environment I strive to provide. Plus, you can expect plenty of updates and photos! Pets fit easily into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule to make sure pets get the attention, exercise, care, and consistency they need — whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just company and cuddles. I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel happy and comfortable. I care for pets by creating a safe, calm, and loving environment while following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised playtime, walks, feeding on schedule, and a comfortable space to relax and feel at home. In a client’s home, I respect their pet’s routine, environment, and instructions to help keep things familiar and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, dietary needs, and comfort, and I make sure owners receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Spending time with animals is my happy place and nothing brings me more joy than caring for and playing with them. I have a great deal of experience taking care of many dogs of various breeds and sizes. I currently have the flexibility to fully dedicate myself to what I would call my dream job which is working with animals. I can go on long or short walks and have an enclosed dog park around my area. I have taken care of dogs with medical problems and have experience giving dogs medicine such as eye drops and pills. I am a quick learner when it comes to the specific conditions the owner has for their dog .
