“We needed to book a boarding at the last minute, and Janine was able to accommodate. She took great care of my dog and communicated often during his stay with photos and updates. He loved running aroun in her backyard and the companionship that her two dogs offered as well. I would recommend her to any friends and family.”
“We boarded our 3 year old Shih Tzu with Shushma & her family for 3days. Our Bria was at home as soon as she walked in the door & was greeted by Shushma & her Yorkie Poo Lily. Lily & Bria were instant BFFs. Shushma sent us pictures & videos so our trip was carefree - we knew our pup was in good hands. Bria got plenty of TLC. Val & Ed”
“Nachay was amazing! She sent us constant updates on Louie, sent us pictures, videos and even took the time to facetime with us. Louie had the best time and was very comfortable. Couldn’t recommend higher!”

“We had such a wonderful experience! Dior felt right at home from the moment she arrived and was so well cared for during her stay. We loved getting updates and could tell she was receiving lots of attention, love, and even some extra treats. Especially because Dior was in heat we were so happy she was comfortable. The thoughtful gift keychain was such a sweet surprise and really showed how much they care about both pets and their owners. We came home to a happy pup and couldn't ask for more. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog!”

“Michelle was amazing with Milo! This was our first time leaving him with someone else, so I was a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so much easier and more comfortable. She was very attentive, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs, which gave me a lot of reassurance. I really appreciated the updates and how she made sure Milo felt safe and cared for.

Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and check-ins throughout the day. My kids are grown and on their own, and I don’t have pets at this time, so I’m able to give my attention to the pets I’m caring for and adjust my schedule as needed.

“Stephanie was fantastic. We explained to her our situation with our recently adopted rescue with anxiety and she was willing to take on the task. She kept us updated and it kept our minds at ease. Having a new pup is a lot of work but when they come with a little extra baggage and require a little more attention, it can be tricky finding the right fit. I was so happy that we found Stephanie and would definitely recommend her services if you need someone to look after your pooch.”

I don't believe having multiple dogs is any harder (it's just more love to go around!) &I don't believe you should be penalized or charged extra for it, as this is a problem I have run into myself when finding a sitter for my little munchkins when I'm away! I also love puppies &do not charge extra, granted I know they're a little harder, (but they're a lot cuter!) &I have raised both my little babies since they were 6 weeks old.

“Vanessa and her family were very caring and accommodating toward my dog. She was immediately comfortable and treated like a queen the entire stay. Would absolutely recommend and, if I were not moving, would make her my first choice for dog boarding.”
“Khris was wonderful with my 2.5 year old pup. I traveled to PA for 3 nights and this was her first time staying with a sitter-she is literally attached to me at all times and has anxiety and! Khris was patient and kind and awesome with her! He sent updates throughout the day with pictures and videos as well. He answered all of my questions without hesitation and made Zoli feel at home! We will definitely be using him again!”
“Michael was so good with Ellie and was so understanding!! When my travel plans were very delayed, Michael was very understanding and was working with me to find the best time to pick Ellie up, would definitely recommend!”
“Andrew was absolutely wonderful with our Roxie. She is a 7 month old Maltipoo and Andrew handled all the puppy-ness so well. We received constant updates and pictures, and when our flight was delayed to get home he was more than accommodating. When we picked her up, we could tell she had been loved on the whole week we were gone. So appreciate all his hard work! We would definitely use Andrew again!”
“Judy was awesome with my puppy Penny! She sent lovely pictures and made sure Penny was fed and happy when I picked her up. Penny loved her right away! Thanks Judy! We will be booking you every time we're in NYC!”
“I have a 2 year old high energy Lab. Tanu took great care of her. Plenty of activities and great care. Posted lots of pictures and videos throughout to let us know how my dog was doing. Would use Tanu next time when i need someone to dog sit. Recommend 100%”
“It was such a pleasure to have Shirley watch our dog. He is a senior dog and requires additional attention. Shirley was amazing and keeping us up to date on how he was doing and he honestly was on vacation himself. He had so much fun!”
“My Claire stayed with Samantha. She gave Claire space to settle down and get comfortable in a environment that was not home. I felt at ease leaving Claire with Samantha. I received pictures even it though it was slightly over a 24 stay. I would totally recommend Samantha!”
About: Hi I'm Nicole! I’ve been dog-sitting for over 4 years for family, friends, and neighbors, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means feeding, walking, playing, or just keeping them company! I make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m a college student, so I’m home during breaks (including holidays) and for about four months in the summer. I also come home frequently on weekends during the school year. In the summer, I’m available any time of the week and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I have a large yard where dogs can play and get plenty of exercise, and I always make sure to supervise them while they’re outside. My home is a spacious two-story house where dogs are free to roam and feel comfortable. I treat every dog like my own and many have even slept in my bed! I also have experience adjusting to each dog’s needs, whether that means crating them, sticking to a routine, or giving them extra attention and care.
