Highly-rated overnight sitters - Babylon
“This is my first time leaving my dog with someone 6 hours away from home and I was nervous. It was last minute when I realized we had to bring the dog with us (last minute as in 8 hours before we had to leave). She responded to my request at 3am in the morning, thats great! I messaged many and didnt get many responses. There was no Hassel, she was very flexible and when we left then came back to the house to drop her off, my dog ran up to her as if she knew her forever. She did an amazing job and I'm so thankful she came by!! She is definitely recommended!”
“Delmy was amazing! She took awesome care of our puppy, Opie. She was extremely responsive and sent many updates throughout the stay with photos and messages. I definitely would trust her and her family to take care of Opie again! 10/10!!!”
“This was our first time booking with Brenda, and she did an excellent job of making my pup feel at home and putting my mind at ease. She really treated Gracie as if she was her own, with lots of affection, play, and exercise. She did a great job of communicating with me also, sending updates, pictures, and videos. I would definitely book with Brenda again.”
“We are thrilled with our experience with John! This was our first time using this site, and he was amazing with our Benny. He kept us updated with pictures and videos, which made us feel at ease. Having his dog Dallas around was a definitely bonus. Thank you, John! We would love to work with you again and highly recommend you!”
“Veronique and husband are wonderful dog sitters they we’re very caring , patient and loving with our old and grumpy baby, we received updates every day I would recommend them we are very happy with the service and time thank you 😊”
“Miss Molly had a fantastic overnight stay with Trinity. She was well cared for, and we will definitely be return customers. Thank you for the excellent care and attention!”
“As someone who based their choice on reviews, I had to share one too. Jodie was terrific from the 1st communication which was so fast. We are very protective puppy parents and this wasn’t easy for us to leave our Sonny Boy. Jodie sent us pictures throughout Sonny’s stay and it was so great to see him happy with her. He loved his stay and will definitely be back! Thank you Jodie for your wonderful care! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Staci was such a wonderful sitter to our Simon! She sent lots of updates and photos which we greatly appreciated and we could tell Simon loved being there. We'll absolutely be using her again in the future!”
“Dan and Denise are simply the best! We never had one worry while on vacation leaving our pups with them! They sent us daily videos and picture updates of our dogs having a great time enjoying themselves and being well taken care of! Our fur kids take medication daily and have dietary needs and allergies and they were completely on top of it! Our dogs loved interacting with the other pups that were on their puppy vacations too and they came home tired from all of the fun they had! HIGHLY recommend and would never hire anyone else for our babies!”
“Michelle is knowledgeable about dogs and kept me informed about how Ollie was doing including texting and sending me pictures. I am so happy that I found Michelle to look after my sweet boy Ollie. While adorable, Ollie is a large and energetic black lab but not too much for Michelle and her family. Michelle allows the dog to be cage free in her home which was very important to me. Ollie is booked for his next stay already!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Layla. We were a little nervous leaving her, since its her first time with you after so long but seeing how happy, calm and well-adjusted she was with you had put our hearts completely at ease. It takes a truly special person to make a dog feel at home away frrom home, and you have done that so beautifully. Thank you for the love, patience, and all the time to time updates. We are so grateful we found you. With Love, Effie & fly”
“My dog had a wonderful time with Joanne + family! He immediately made himself at home when I dropped him off and looked like he had the best time in all the photos and videos I received. I’m always nervous leaving him with anyone who isn’t family, but I had the peace of mind that he was well taken care of and having fun while I was out of town.”
“Jonny cat had a wonderful experience with Wenxu. Professional, flexible. caring, and a great communication! I really appreciate her ideas and suggestions for my sister-in-laws cat whom she watched for several weeks. Terrific experience all around! Thanks Wenxu and family 💕💕”
“Sandy is the most caring dog sitter. It is nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about my dog. Also, Sandy’s dog Lacy is a great companion for my dog Nora. Nora is always so happy to see Sandy and Lacy. Sandy responds instantly to text, sends pictures, and treats Nora as her own. Her house is dog friendly and Nora is welcome on the couch to snuggle. I feel blessed to have found such a loving sitter. Respectfully, Jennifer Pena Proce”
“Eliana was the perfect match for my Daytona! She was constantly sending me updates on my boy and he seemed so happy and content in every photo! Thank you for taking such great care of our puppy! We will definitely be using Eliana for future stays!!”

I love getting them some exercise with a wand toy if that’s their thing!
“Alex was fantastic... super kind and caring to Allie. This was my first time having a cat sitter that was a "stranger" so I was a bit uneasy at first. But rest assure your pet is in good hands. Not once did I have to worry if Allie was being treated well or fed properly. Alex was really great with checking in and giving us updates. 10/10!”
“Jennifer is fantastic!! This was my first time using Rover or any pet sitter for that matter, so I was a little nervous/skeptical but Jennifer was great and made us feel at ease and that our babies were being cared for and loved while we were away! We will definitely be using her again and we highly recommend her!”
“Amy is the best! She let the cats be themselves and it all worked out perfectly. She sent daily updates with pictures of both Spooky and Cleo, which added to the sense of security we needed. She did a wonderful job and we are so grateful!”
“Ericka was wonderful! Our cat got sick during the visit and she kept us updated with such care and concern, even offering to take him to the vet if needed. We appreciate her and will request her again!”
“Michelle was awesome!!!! She dropped in on my cat when I went away. She was reliable, communicative, and even brought my mail and packages in for me! My sweet guy gets so sick in the car so I hate to try and board him but I was so worried about leaving him alone. Michelle eased my fears and relieved my worries. I highly recommend Michelle and I’d definitely ask her to sit for me again.”

“Staci was a wonderful sitter for our senior dog while we visited NYC. She was very communicative, sent me lots of updates and pictures, and took excellent care of our dog. I would highly recommend her for any NYC pet care needs. Thanks, Staci!”
“This was Layla's 4th stay with Dan and Denise and she absolutely loves it! After the first visit, each time we pulled into the driveway she realized where she was and was so excited she practically jumped out of the car when she saw Dan. She loves their house and playing with furry friends so much that she actually cries on the way home!! I couldn't believe my ears! She comes home all tired out from playing all day and it gives me peace of mind when I can't be with her in times of work, parties, etc. Thank you Dan and Denise!!”

Michelle is great with her and sends pictures of her throughout the day. Definitely a great person to trust with your pet when you need help watching them!”
“Jillian took a last minute request for us and was extremely nice. She was kind, provided updates when requested, and also was extremely flexible with our time. But a note, the bio does say non-smoking household and our dog did come home smelling like cigarette smoke, but other than that the experience was great.”
“Veronique and her husband are the best! I would definitely book with them again!! Teddy has been going there for a week now and every morning he’s so excited to get in the car because he knows he’s going to go play with his friends!”

My experience includes puppy socialization and specialized senior dog care, ensuring every dog in my charge receives the individual attention and expert care they deserve, making their time with me feel just like your home.

With every pet is different, I like to converse with the owner about the character of the dog and habits as well as any other important health information that I should keep in mind before sitting, and if it is in your home, I’m very well mannered and have respect for not just the home but pups safety too

About: I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, and more, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m especially attentive to small details — like changes in behavior, appetite, or mood — so I can make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you’re away. I have experience with energetic dogs who need structured walks and patience, as well as more sensitive or anxious pets who need a calm, gentle approach. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and maintaining clean, safe environments (including litter boxes, cages, and feeding areas). What really sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give — I don’t just “watch” pets, I bond with them. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands. Pet care is a big part of my everyday routine. I care for multiple animals at home, including dogs and cats, so I’m used to staying on a consistent schedule for feeding, cleaning, and giving each pet attention. I make time daily for walks, playtime, and bonding, and I’m very attentive to their behavior and needs. Caring for animals isn’t something I do occasionally—it’s part of my lifestyle, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. I make sure pets have a clean, safe environment, plenty of attention, and regular potty breaks or exercise depending on their needs. I’m very attentive to behavior and will quickly notice if something seems off. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they feel reassured while they’re away. Whether I’m in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: Dogs, cats and helping people all make me happy. I’ve lived with at least one dog since I was 4 years old after adopting our first family dog from the north shore animal league. I’ve had 3 years of fostering experience for the queens ASPCA where my aunt volunteered. I rehabbed overweight dogs and sick dogs into shape and health to be adopted to their forever homes. We had 2 foster failures our bond was so strong we had to keep. I currently have 3 dogs and one cat all rescues. I always form an immediate bond with any pet I meet and promise to take care of your pet like they are my own. I understand the hesitation in trusting others with your pets and proudly guarantee the best care possible. I am gladly available weekdays both mornings and afternoons as well as anytime needed on the weekends and/or holidays. I do work a full time job second shift 3pm -11pm Monday through Friday excluding holidays. I work in Hicksville for the school district doing security. I’ve found and saved several lost dogs and wild animals throughout the neighborhood over the past 9 plus years. Easily my favorite part of the job. I love to serve the community by helping others. I care as much about stray or random animals as I do my own pets. Seeing a dog or cat in public is easily the highlight of my day. I like to get down and meet dogs at their level to gain their trust and show I am not s threat. I am a good listener and will follow all orders given to take care of someone’s pet and do whatever is best for any animal in my care.
About: I am available to sit both cats and dogs. I know how hard it is to leave your fur babies when you are out of town. Cats and dogs have their routines that help to keep them feeling safe and secure. While you are unable to care for your pet for whatever reason, I can visit them and provide excellent care for them. This will help to give you piece of mind knowing that they are well cared for, and not too lonely while your not home. I have 2 cats of my own, and a dog. I have loved and cared for animals my entire life, and will treat yours like my very own. I used to volunteer and the North Shore Animal League taking shelter dogs for much needed walks. I enjoyed it just as much as they did!! I’m highly responsible and love to care for all animals.

Ollie is booked for his next stay already!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Layla. We were a little nervous leaving her, since its her first time with you after so long but seeing how happy, calm and well-adjusted she was with you had put our hearts completely at ease. It takes a truly special person to make a dog feel at home away frrom home, and you have done that so beautifully. Thank you for the love, patience, and all the time to time updates. We are so grateful we found you. With Love, Effie & fly”
“Eliana was the perfect match for my Daytona! She was constantly sending me updates on my boy and he seemed so happy and content in every photo! Thank you for taking such great care of our puppy! We will definitely be using Eliana for future stays!!”
“Jennifer was so lovely and very accommodating. I know Lexi loved all the love and attention she was receiving (as she is a spoiled brat). She had the house all to herself and all the humans lol. Would definitely rebook when the time comes for my next adventure.”
“So grateful to have found Vanessa and her family to look after our beagle Max for the weekend. They took care of him as if he were one more of their family, and Max had a great time playing with their dog Luna. Definitely recommend!!”
About: I had a pet dog when I was younger and took good care of him, I like pets and animals, I am good at giving them attention My schedule is flexible so pet care would be a good fit for me. I work part-time and will be able to manage pet care I can easily crate your dog if needed. Attention given to pets do house sitting, visits, and walks. Good care and attention given to pets
“Lisamarie was amazing w/ our pup Ryder! I was so nervous to leave him for the 1st time but felt confident doing so as soon as I met her. I will definitely be using Lisa’s services again bc Ryder had a blast! Thank you Lisa…for taking such good care of him & for all the great pics 🧡”
“Gerald did a great job with my senior foster, Pam. She deals with significant anxiety and back-leg pain, so I was nervous about leaving her in a new space with a stranger, but I had nothing to worry about. She settled in quickly and even felt comfortable enough to trick Gerald into getting off the couch so she could steal his spot. Although she’s usually reluctant to be active, she went on several walks with him. Gerald was also great about sending regular photos and updates, and very flexible when I ran late for pickup. Highly recommended for anyone with a senior or high-needs dog.”
“I am SO grateful to have found Pamela. She took all the steps to make me feel comfortable AND THEN SOME! Her home is super cozy and welcoming. She sent me so many photos showing just how much fun my dogs were having. The yard is big and plenty of room to run… as a matter of fact my dog woke up crying today because he got so used to being outside with all the other fur baby’s. Thank you Pamela for making my dogs feel like your home was their own, and making my trip enjoyable by knowing they were so comfortable. You’re a special person and I am forever grateful to have met you! Until our next vacation :)”
“Just an incredible experience. Michelle was a pleasure to have dog sit Hero. She sent tons of pictures and videos and also gave Hero a bath! I would recommend her to anyone. 10/10.”
About: What I think truly sets me apart is my tailored approach to each dog's needs, ranging from feeding medicine, to early walks or even just lovey extra attention, I’m always here for it. I like combining enthusiastic play with disciplined training techniques. Whether your furry friend is a playful pup needing playbite training and endless games of fetch, or a cherished senior who thrives on gentle care, medication reminders, and comforting companionship, I really try to provide a safe, loving, and happy environment. My experience includes puppy socialization and specialized senior dog care, ensuring every dog in my charge receives the individual attention and expert care they deserve, making their time with me feel just like your home. At the moment now, I am unemployed so that gives me more then enough time (even every day) to help take care of your pup when you need it! With every pet is different, I like to converse with the owner about the character of the dog and habits as well as any other important health information that I should keep in mind before sitting, and if it is in your home, I’m very well mannered and have respect for not just the home but pups safety too
“We are very happy with our dogs stay with Troy! Our beagle fit in perfected with him and his family. Troy sent lots of photos and was very responsive. He was thoughtful when it came to our dog’s preferences and made sure to accomodate the best he could. He has a big backyard which was like our dog’s little paradise, lol! We will definitely be using his services again!”
“Great experience as usual! Everything went as planned, ready for drop off, sent the perfect amount of pictures daily and had her ready for pick up on time! Angel was super excited to see me and happy as can be when I picked her up, loves to play w her other dogs and even the cats. I will definitely contibue to utilize her service's, Thanks,”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They kept my dog at their home for 2 days, sent updates and pictures, and were kind and attentive. It was clear my dog was happy and well taken care of. I’m very grateful and would absolutely book with them again.”
