“Kun was so great to have during this trip! He sent us constant updates throughout the day in order to keep us posted about how our dog was doing and always was super understanding. Would definitely re-book.”

“Carolina will be the only sitter for my dog from now on. She and her family truly cared for my dog during my family's vacation and i can't thank her enough! They are true dog lover! Thank you, Carolina for your care and service for my dog!!!”

“We travel frequently for long trips and our usual sitter was not available this time and so we chose to use Rover and found Ankita and her beautiful family . From the time of meet and Greet I knew that I couldn’t have found a better dog loving home for my coco . The love care and affection they showered on coco was evident from the multiple daily updates we received in form of videos and messages . Coco was the happiest puppy ever and I bet she is going to miss them so much - especially their Dog Panther who is such a sweet heart and their little son who became coco’s best friend and companion to play all day :) Coco has found a new second home and we will surely be using them again at our next time away”

“Christina was amazing from start to finish! Amazing communication and multiple photo updates daily. She and her husband really took great care of my Bella! Will absolutely be booking her again. Thanks Christina!”

“Paola took excellent care of our little dog for a week while we were on vacation . She communicated daily with us and provided photos. Our dog was treated like part of her family. Jazzie came home happy and healthy! Will definitely book with Paola again!”

“Our dog Mowgli was well taken care of by Liz and family. We received several photos and could tell he made himself at home in their house and backyard. We appreciated that Liz asked thoughtful questions about his needs and temperament and clearly cares. We recommend!”

“Yesenia did a great job of looking after Charlie for a few days. He loved playing with her dog as well as other dogs that she was sitting. I highly recommend!”

“From the time I dropped my dog off,to when I picked him up and even after Keisy has been a total sweetheart….From sending pictures of him playing around, she even went above and beyond as to showering him and washing his blanket. In which no dog sitter as done before.It’s the small details that count and truly makes me want to use her again in the future hands down…”

“Juan and his family took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. He was quick to respond to our messages and provided us with updates as to how she was doing. We would gladly use his services again in the future.”

About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.
“Maureen was wonderful. She made Bailey feel welcome. Additionally, she helped us to have a high level of confidence in the environment that she was create for our dog. We will be going back to her in the future.”

“My dog scampi had a great time with Rhinesca and her family. She sent plenty of pictures and kept me up to date with how he was doing. I would bring scampi to her again.”

“We recently moved to the area and after an extensive search on Rover for sitters decided to meet with Raymond for an in person interview. We were immediately impressed with his willingness to meet and greet Sonny our English bulldog and it was clear there was a match. Shortly thereafter we booked his first stay and are certain Sonny felt like part of the family because Raymond sent pictures of him laying in the living room and in the evening he was resting in his crate (he loves to sleep in his crate) which was also kept in the family room. Throughout the day Raymond was kind enough to send pictures of Sonny playing in backyard and most importantly ensured that he received his medication daily and took great precautions to adhere to his strict diet given his skin allergies. Highly recommend Raymond and have already booked a number of upcoming stays. Great job Raymond we appreciate YOU!”

“Michelle is very confident which made me feel comfortable leaving Kobe with her. She sent me videos daily. Kobe was content while staying with her. If I have to leave Kobe again I will definitely book with Michelle.”

“Lisa was very kind and caring with my Junie. She sent me texts and pictures and I was put at ease immediately. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”

“Kia is excellent with Ivy and he seemed happy to be with her. We recently moved here and found a perfect fit for Ivy to stay in or day care. It was overall good experience”

“Tricia was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Lani! This was our first time booking with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She clearly has excellent knowledge when it comes to dog introductions and made sure Lani felt comfortable from the start. Her yard is fantastic, spacious, super clean, and thoughtfully designed with a shaded sand pit and a dig zone that Lani loved exploring. We also really appreciated the photo updates throughout the stay! When our flight was unexpectedly canceled, Tricia was incredibly accommodating, even on such short notice. That flexibility meant so much to us. We’re so grateful for her care and would definitely book with her again!”

“Oliver loved staying at Ksenia's. Her place was clean and welcoming and he felt right at home. She is a great communicator and sent lots of picture updates. He can't wait to go back!”

“Rhea and Michael are very warm people. This was my Harleys first time away from us and he was happy and well taken care of. I recommend them to anyone is looking for a relaxing time away without worry. Rhea sent pictures and Harley looked very content!”

“This was our first time leaving Hazel & Audrey. Teresa was wonderful and so accommodating to all our puppies needs. She kept us updated on their visit with great pictures that showed they were happy and well taken care of. Her home is a great setup for taking care of dogs- especially Doxies with little legs. It made our family trip more enjoyable knowing our pups were enjoying themselves as well. Thank you Teresa.”

“Lisbeth was great with our cat, Monty! She arrived each day during our trip to feed and play with him, scooped his box as needed and even brought in our mail. When she came to meet Monty before we left, she asked great questions and made sure she had all the info for a smooth experience. Lisbeth is a real pro with animals - we highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”


About: I've always grew up with dogs, but I did always have a soft spot for kitties too! I adopted Ollie or Ollivander the Great as I call him from a friend who couldn't take care of him anymore back in 2018. Ollivander is my best boy and I couldn't imagine my life without him. I also now have experience with administering meds and with my cat and his litter boxes through the years, I've done a lot of deep cleanings... so I'm a pro !
“I am very fortunate to have found Yang to take care of my girls for a week. Yang was extremely kind, trustworthy, communicative, caring, responsible, prepared, thoughtful and generous. In our meet and greet she brought a notebook, connected with my cats and asked great questions before leaving. She offered to bring her own brush to groom my one cat, wore shoe covers to keep my place clean and even brought her own litter bags to take away each day. The level of detail and attention she provided throughout the whole experience was something I have never experienced from a pet sitter and the genuine bond she formed with my cats made me exceedingly assured, content and happy knowing they had her presence and care while I was away. I can’t recommend Yang enough and will pick her as my sitter going forward.”

“Sam was reliable and my kitties were well cared for while I was away! He cleaned their many litter boxes daily and even made sure my basil plant was watered outside. Thanks to him I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation.”


“Alex did a fantastic job checking in on our cat during our vacation. He bonded with her right away and sent us great photos on a regular basis. If you need someone to take of your cat, look no further than Alex.”


“Alexa was extremely responsive and professional throughout! She provided a thorough description of how my cat did while we w the vet away. My cat seemed very happy when we came back. Will definitely rebook!”


About: I have been caring for cats since I was 14 years old and have always had a special love for them. I am patient, gentle, responsible, and attentive to each cat’s personality and individual needs. I have experience with feeding, litter box care, playtime, companionship, and providing a safe and comfortable environment. I also rescued my own cat, Mimi, after she appeared at my window looking for a safe home. I will treat every cat in my care with the same love and attention I give my own. 🐈⬛❤️

“Megan is an exceptional pet sitter! She looked after my cat while I was away, and I could not be happier with her service. Megan was reliable, caring, and deeply attentive to my cat's specific needs, which gave me complete peace of mind.I especially loved the thorough daily reports and the adorable photos she sent. Her communication kept me connected and reassured. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a trustworthy caregiver for their pets, and I will absolutely book her again in the future!”


“I had an amazing experience with Morgan over the Christmas break. She took excellent care of my diabetic cat, ensuring he received his insulin and even administering UTI medication when we discovered he was had a mild UTI. Her attentiveness and care were exceptional, and I would absolutely use her services again!”


About: I have owned two dogs when I was a teen. Currently I take care of a golden retriever owned by my cousin when she needs to be out for errands. I have morning availability since I work an overnight shift. I am mostly free on Saturdays and Sundays. My morning availability is from 9am to 3pm I live in a neighborhood that is friendly to walk around. But I would prefer to sit the dog in the clients home for ease

About: I’ve cared for cats for over 7 years and understand that every cat has their own personality, boundaries, and needs. I’m experienced with everything from playful, energetic cats to seniors and cats with chronic medical conditions, including caring for my own senior cat with ongoing medical needs. I believe great cat care means meeting them where they’re comfortable. I’ll always give your cat space when they need it and plenty of love and attention when they ask for it. Enrichment and play are also a must, helping keep your cat happy, stimulated, and comfortable while you’re away. Through my experience working at a Humane Society, I’ve cared for cats with many different personalities, backgrounds, and care requirements. I bring that same patience, compassion, and attention to detail into your home and will always make sure your cat feels safe, respected, and loved. 🐱❤️

About: I've taken care of one cat for the past few years by doing check-ins when needed. Her name is Kiwi, and she is a Siamese. I would stay with her for a few hours to play with her and pet her. I would also feed her and make sure she's well.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was in middle school. At home I have an 11 year old rescue named Copper who has become my best friend. Apart from Copper, I have years of experience stepping in as a walker and sitter for the pets of many of my friends while they are traveling. I have walked both big and small dogs in Chicago, as well as cat sat for a month long period. I understand how important my pup is to me and I look forward to taking care of your pets with the same love I give Copper. I am excited to meet both you and your pets soon! I am a recent college graduate living in Glen Rock, NJ with a very flexible schedule at the moment and would love to help out with your dog or cat! I love being outside so I am happy to take your best friend wherever they want to go. Please let me know if there is anywhere in particular your dog loves to visit. I am also very flexible, so if your dog has any special needs I am happy to work to make sure they are getting the best care.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years, and I have two small dogs of my own that I love. I’m organized, responsible, and attentive, and I provide each dog with personalized care, walks, and playtime. I also prioritize clear communication with owners, just as I appreciate when someone cares for my own pets. I’m available all week, including weekends. Just reach out and we can discuss your schedule. I kindly ask owners to be honest about their pets’ needs and behavior so I can provide the best care and avoid any issues during their stay. I prefer to care for pets at my home, where I can provide a safe and comfortable environment. I offer boarding only for small dogs, as I live on a 2nd floor, and I have a backyard where pets can play at least twice a day, along with neighborhood walks. My goal is for every dog to have a happy and enjoyable stay. For any specific details or questions, feel free to contact me.

“Stefanie was great! We went on vacation for four days and she handled our dog with love, care and discipline. We found everything neat and organized at home. She listened to our directions and communicated very well. I appreciate the photos and reports. Our lovely dog was so lucky. We highly recommend Stefanie!”

“I am beyond happy that I found Katherine this is the second time she watches my 3 pups. She sends me updates throughout the day. She sends me videos as well. I’m at peace knowing that my pups are in good hands. I’m moving to a different area in El Paso but I will definitely be driving to Katherine’s when I need her services. I wouldn’t leave my girls with anyone but her. Thank you Katherine Jade, Rosie and Bella love you 🩷🩷🩷”

“Liz and her family were great! They took excellent care of my pup during the day. I felt at ease knowing that Louie was safe and having fun. I would definitely use Liz again for doggy daycare!”

“Zuleyka took Blue in for 8 days. She was very flexible with the reservation since I confirmed almost last minute. There was not one day without many updates and pictures, and she also bathed Blue as he got dirty. Zuleyka was very professional and friendly since the beginning to end, not to mention that Blue was not behaving too good at first and she was still ok with him and communicating all Blue’s needs and moods as he was sad without us. I could see how his fave changed to a quick “Happy” a couple of days later. I would definitely book Zuleyka again in the future.”

“Fantastic sitter. Very responsive and shares many updates throughout the day. Their dog was also very well trained and got along so well with our puppy. Can definitely recommend”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years through family, friends, and people in my neighborhood. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, boarding, giving lots of attention, and keeping up with each pet’s usual routine. I know every dog has a different personality, so I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and I’m available seven days a week. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my home or in their owner’s home. I pay close attention to instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm environment, make sure doors and leashes are secure, and give pets plenty of patience, affection, and supervision.
About: Hi, I’m Ev :) I enjoy collecting vinyls, hiking, and cooking. I have experience in dog and cat sitting. I consistently dog-sit a beautiful Beagle named Felix, whom I love and treat as if he were my dog. He is turning 11 in a few weeks, and I have been dog-sitting him since he was 3 years old. There are a few photos in my profile with Felix. I celebrate his birthday every year and spend some holidays with him as I have developed a close bond with him. I have more time now, and I would love to expand my services to more people around northern New Jersey and care for more animals. I have my own 4-legged baby at home named Mango; he is also pictured in my profile, the small little blond dog. He is a Peruvian Inca Orchid mix rescue from Peru; he's really sweet, trained, and is friendly with other animals; he just likes to sniff them first :) Under my care, your dog will be given plenty of attention and love. I work from home, so I can be with your pet all day. I also have a fenced-in yard, so your dog can have as many potty breaks as needed or to simply enjoy the outdoors. I would walk your pet twice a day, morning and night, for a 20 minute walk minimum; if the weather is nice, then it extends to 30 minutes each time sometimes even an hour. They will be let out multiple times a day for potty breaks. I provide a playful environment for any dog; I have plenty of toys and treats for them. I also have a fenced-in large yard so that they have plenty of space to run around. I am also very cautious and observant when having a dog at the house or walking them; they will be supervised at all times.

“Desi and Marilyn are such warm people. Leia has gone for 2 days and she’s come home exhausted from playing with her new friends especially her crush Baxter. Leia can’t wait to go back but unlucky for Leia mama is off work a couple of days. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Growing up in Colombia, I had 4 dogs, several birds, and even an armadillo, which taught me patience and responsibility at a young age. Later, while raising my two daughters, we welcomed 2 cats and even cared for turtles together. I also spent many years babysitting my daughter’s Husky, which gave me plenty of hands on experience handling high energy and strong willed dogs. From playful puppies to senior pets, from calm cats to energetic breeds, I treat every animal as if they were my own making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am available all week and have a very flexible schedule since I do not work outside the home. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets, whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays. I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and provide consistent care whenever needed. I provide a safe and loving environment for all pets in my care. I am patient, responsible, and always treat animals as if they were my own. In my home, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow instructions carefully, maintain clean spaces, and make sure pets are happy, safe, and well cared for at all times.
“My senior dog stayed a full day at Tricia’s. Her yard is full of fun things for the dogs to explore and both Tricia and her daughter are very experienced and knowledgeable about dogs which I really appreciated. Her own dog is such a sweetheart and he quickly adapted to my dog’s boundaries. Great communication overall! Tricia sent me lots of photo updates and checked in throughout the day. My dog was in a great mood when I picked her up which was such a relief for me since my dog has anxiety. So happy to have found Tricia and will book again!”

“Laura and Kevin are amazing sitters! Very clear communication and very accommodating. My dog Kai is always excited to see their family and always comes home tired from a full day of fun!! Will definitely use them again.”

About: Nature, animals and science-- always a huge part of my life! I've been teaching middle school science for 26 years. My classroom animals include a hermit crab, fish, a frog and a tank of Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches. At home we have a cat and a fish tank (and over the summer, the school menagerie comes home). I'm a mom to two young men on the autism spectrum; I understand patience and unconditional love. I am teaching my 26th year of middle school science; my classroom is filled with all sort of animals! My availability to care for your baby will be wide open during the summer. Your baby is in good hands with me. Tell me your pet's normal routine (exact feeding times, medication administration, and preferred exercise or walk routes) and it will be followed. As a mom (human and fur babies), I understand the need for security and keeping gates and doors locked securely.

“I’ve been using her dog walking service for several months, and she’s been outstanding. She’s dependable, attentive, and treats my dog like her own. I really appreciate her updates and photos after every walk. She’s far more than a dog walker — she truly loves and understands my dogs. I can always feel her kindness and patience in the way she treats them.”

About: If you don’t have these social media platforms, you can message me through here for my email for us to set up any appointments. Thanks! I am currently working part time with a dog- walking business so I have time for pop ins, house sittings and walks depending on scheduling's with the other business. However, my business (waggingtailsandscales) provides mainly house sittings that we can book through here! Once I get a full time job else where, I will update all my availability for drop ins and walks along with the dog walking business I work for. I mainly want to grow my business through here and gain a good clientele before making a website for scheduling. Sadly right now I live in an apartment that I can't provide boarding for dogs or cats. However, depending on small critters or reptiles I may be able to provide boarding for an extra fee....
About: I’ve had dogs and cats by my side my entire life, and caring for animals has always been more than a hobby—it’s truly my passion and calling. I have 13 years of pet-sitting experience as well as hands-on experience working at a Humane Society, where I cared for animals of all ages, from young puppies to seniors. I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including administering medications, supporting pets with chronic medical conditions, caring for seniors, and keeping up with happy, high-energy pups. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes each pet feel safe and happy. Trust and loyalty are at the heart of the care I provide. My goal is not only to make sure your pets are loved and well cared for, but also to give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in dependable, compassionate hands. I’ll always care for your pets as if they were my own. ❤️🐾 Pet sitting is my full-time focus, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. Your pets are my priority, and I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits based on their individual routine and needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my number one priority. While my home does have a fully fenced yard, I prefer caring for pets in their own home whenever possible, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was in middle school. At home I have an 11 year old rescue named Copper who has become my best friend. Apart from Copper, I have years of experience stepping in as a walker and sitter for the pets of many of my friends while they are traveling. I have walked both big and small dogs in Chicago, as well as cat sat for a month long period. I understand how important my pup is to me and I look forward to taking care of your pets with the same love I give Copper. I am excited to meet both you and your pets soon! I am a recent college graduate living in Glen Rock, NJ with a very flexible schedule at the moment and would love to help out with your dog or cat! I love being outside so I am happy to take your best friend wherever they want to go. Please let me know if there is anywhere in particular your dog loves to visit. I am also very flexible, so if your dog has any special needs I am happy to work to make sure they are getting the best care.

About: In the past I have recognized the needs of my pet and responded to them. I always recognize when my pet doesn't want to play anymore and give him/her space.

“Carolina will be the only sitter for my dog from now on. She and her family truly cared for my dog during my family's vacation and i can't thank her enough! They are true dog lover! Thank you, Carolina for your care and service for my dog!!!”

“We travel frequently for long trips and our usual sitter was not available this time and so we chose to use Rover and found Ankita and her beautiful family . From the time of meet and Greet I knew that I couldn’t have found a better dog loving home for my coco . The love care and affection they showered on coco was evident from the multiple daily updates we received in form of videos and messages . Coco was the happiest puppy ever and I bet she is going to miss them so much - especially their Dog Panther who is such a sweet heart and their little son who became coco’s best friend and companion to play all day :) Coco has found a new second home and we will surely be using them again at our next time away”

“Christina was amazing from start to finish! Amazing communication and multiple photo updates daily. She and her husband really took great care of my Bella! Will absolutely be booking her again. Thanks Christina!”

“Our dog Mowgli was well taken care of by Liz and family. We received several photos and could tell he made himself at home in their house and backyard. We appreciated that Liz asked thoughtful questions about his needs and temperament and clearly cares. We recommend!”

“Maureen was wonderful. She made Bailey feel welcome. Additionally, she helped us to have a high level of confidence in the environment that she was create for our dog. We will be going back to her in the future.”

“Michelle is very confident which made me feel comfortable leaving Kobe with her. She sent me videos daily. Kobe was content while staying with her. If I have to leave Kobe again I will definitely book with Michelle.”

“Lisa was very kind and caring with my Junie. She sent me texts and pictures and I was put at ease immediately. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”

“Tricia was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Lani! This was our first time booking with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She clearly has excellent knowledge when it comes to dog introductions and made sure Lani felt comfortable from the start. Her yard is fantastic, spacious, super clean, and thoughtfully designed with a shaded sand pit and a dig zone that Lani loved exploring. We also really appreciated the photo updates throughout the stay! When our flight was unexpectedly canceled, Tricia was incredibly accommodating, even on such short notice. That flexibility meant so much to us. We’re so grateful for her care and would definitely book with her again!”

“Oliver loved staying at Ksenia's. Her place was clean and welcoming and he felt right at home. She is a great communicator and sent lots of picture updates. He can't wait to go back!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a teenager. My own, family and friends. I feed them, walk them, bathe them, and even hand feed them if necessary. I work hybrid and I can care for pets Monday to Saturday from 8 to 6 pm for now. I can do some weekends if arrangements are made in advance. My backyard is fenced, we have plenty of indoor space for the pet to use and I can crate your pet if have them accustomed to it. We have a central air conditioning for those hot days.
“Karla was great with Cooper and Lulu. Lulu is uneasy around strangers because she is deaf, but Karla was patient and gained Lulu’s trust. Karla sent us lots of pictures so we could see what they were up to while in her care. We will definitely reach out to Karla when we need a sitter again.”

“Repeat stay and experience with Katherine is once again very helpful,communication is great. Provides proper care ensuring dog receives medication. Provides updates and truly cares for well-being and health of fur baby. 🤍”

“We had such a great experience with Michaelangelo! We had a last-minute need for someone to watch our almost 2-year-old Boxer, Walter, who is VERY energetic and has some separation anxiety. Michaelangelo said yes without hesitation, which we really appreciated. He has two Pomeranians of his own and a great fenced-in yard where Walter could run around and get all of his energy out. Michaelangelo sent us pictures and updates every day, which really helped us feel comfortable knowing Walter was doing well. He was also very quick to respond anytime I had a question. Walter had a great time and came home happy! We’re so happy we found Michaelangelo and would definitely recommend him to our family and friends. We will absolutely use him again! ❤️”

“This was our first experience with Desi and Marilyn, We boarded our dogs for 3 days and they received excellent care. It's clear that Desi and Marilyn are dedicated to taking care of pets and they definitely take it seriously. My dogs were well cared for and seemed to have really enjoyed their stay with Desi & Marilyn, I would recommend them for your pets and we will be back.”

“What can you say when your dogs are treated like royalty and given their own sunroom to lounge in? Marisol and her family welcomed with open arms, my boys, one 22 lbs and one 120 pounder, without hesitation! We were allowed to enjoy our daughter’s wedding celebration without worrying for one minute about their care. We highly recommend them and Derby and Finn agree.”

“Excellent! It says a lot when a dog goes back to the dog sitter (Enis) for a final goodbye pet before we got in the car to go back home. This was the first time our dog was away from us, in all the pictures she seemed so happy that she was playing with other dogs. We felt at ease knowing Lucy was having a great time. I highly recommend Enis.”


“We are so happy we found Peiyi to board our dog Jackson. We were going away and we needed someone we could trust for an extended stay of 17 days. Peiyi and her husband is amazing. From the start she was very responsive to our request and to all of our questions which ensured us that Jackson will be in great hands. She is flexible with our requests of our specific pick up and drop off times. She gave updates and sent us pictures. Jackson after coming home seems happy and the same and not sad at all since we were concerned that we were away for quite some time. You can tell she’s very knowledgeable about dogs and loves dogs. We also loved the fact that she was 30 min away and her rates were affordable. This was our first time with Peiyi but definitely won’t be our last. We would definitely use her services again in the near future and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Florence is a sweetheart and took great care of Paco. She sent daily updates with adorable pictures and videos of my pup. 10 out of 10! Will definitely book with Florence again!”

“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”

“My dog loves going to Gargi and Sourav’s. She instantly felt at home there and loved playing with Archie, today. I’ve never seen her get comfortable so quickly!”
