“Happy with Leah’s care of our pup while we were away for 5 nights. She sent us videos and pics, and even had other pups over for playtime. We felt comfortable Sophie was in good hands and would leave her with Leah again.”
“David and his family were incredible with my Moosey. This was the longest I’ve ever been away from her and I am extremely grateful to have found care that is so considerate and joyful. Moose has a ton of energy and personality, and David and his family ensured that she was loved, exercised, and understood like the puppy baby she thinks she is. He communicated thoroughly about her day-to-day and checked in about any deviations to their or her regular schedule. He is also very flexible and understanding, which I truly appreciated before and after a long trip abroad. Though they are moving, I truly hope (and know Moose does as well) to rebook their services in the future. Amazing, loving, knowledgable family with amazing snacks! Definitely recommend.”
“Terrance was amazing! He handled our dog with care, he was professional and kept us updated on how our pup was doing. I would highly recommend his services! Thanks Terrance!”
“I did not want to put my dogs in a kennel and was looking for a quiet home for the dogs to stay. Maria provided the perfect place for them. A quiet home on a dead end street where they were given long walks and personal attention during their stay. Maria provided video and pictures to us during their stay. I plan on using Maria again on our next vacation and would recommend her.”
“Mary took great care of Cody, and our dog seemed to have a blast with her and her two dogs. Lots of walks, playtime and love. We would trust our pup in her care anytime!”
“Brittany was reliable and timely in communicating. Our fur babies had a good time with her and they came home feeling good. She was polite to interact with. We will be using her again if we need a sitter!”
“We were very happy to find Adam and Liz to take care of our dog Olivia while we were away for 2 weeks. Olivia was well taken care of and we received pictures and videos of her daily. Adam and Liz have a beautiful home that is very dog friendly along with a fenced back yard. I loved seeing the “Wall of Wagging Tails”, which shows photos of all of their dog clients. I will definitely book with Adam and Liz in the future.”
“Tara accepted to watch my basenji for me practically last minute and it was a great relief for me. We had a warm meet and greet first then Pepi stayed with her for a night a few days later. She made sure he was safe, sent me pictures and videos updates of him. Pepi was thoroughly entertained in her fenced backyard and with her other pets. As a bonus, although a special circumstance, she bathed Pepi for me and when I picked him up he was smelling like a million bucks! I intend to use her services in the future when I need it.”
“Annie was wonderful! In the past we left our dog with someone and he came back to us in shock. With Annie, both our dogs were so happy because they were treated with both care and love. I can't think of anyone who would care more for them than us. Annie cares for each and every animal she is charged with.”
“Theresa and Michael are wonderful cat sitters, true pet lovers who took care of Mr Soots for me in every way possible. From cuddles and love to pictures of Soots playing and being his cheeky self, I could see that my cat felt so at home and comfortable with Theresa and Michael right from day one. I would recommend their cat sitting services to anyone. Fantastic people and wonderful hosts for pets.”
About: With our goofy boy, your dog will have plenty of exercise and playtime. We have a spacious home and flexible schedule for pet care. I work various hours and my partner works from home. We have a yard for the dogs and separate basement area for boarding comfortably (or to keep our cat away from non-friendly dogs). We enjoy the dog park with your permission and spend a lot of time outside during the warm months. Our dog is young and energetic so playtime lasts for hours unless your dog prefers a nap, he will snuggle up or be separated. Potty breaks are often during the day in our yard. The dogs are rarely left home for more than a few hours. We have crates for our dogs, special areas for our cat to stay safe, and a basement for boarding other dogs comfortably. Our goal is to give our clients a better experience than if they were in a crated boarding facility all day.
“Daniela took exceptional care of my fur-baby, keeping me up to date with beautiful pictures and messages. I recommend her 100% 😀 Thank you Daniela, you are the pet sitter I always needed.”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care you gave Cloud while we were away! You went above and beyond—keeping us updated the whole time and sending the sweetest pictures that truly put our mind at ease. It was clear he was in great hands. Til next time!”
“Like most pet people, leaving your furry family member with a stranger can be nerve-wracking. But not with Stephany… she was fantastic! From the meet & greet to the actual stay over, the whole process was seamless. She kept us up to date with texts & videos, and responded promptly to our messages. Buddy was happy & almost seemed inconvenienced that I had to pick him up from his overnight stay with Stephany & her dog, Bentley (who btw, is the cutest beagle I have ever seen)! Not only was the stay great, she sent Buddy home with some a thank you care package & a beautifully handwritten note for me. Thank you again & we will without a doubt see you & Bentley again!”
“Nya was so sweet while watching my dog. I wasn't sure where her building was and she ran to where I was so that I would not be late to church. She took care of Nikki and said that he was such a good dog. I will definitely use her again and she is sweet as pie and you can tell that she loves taking care of dogs. Thank you Nya”

“Annmarie was an excellent sitter for our cats Ivy and Alan. She communicated updates and photos to me regularly throughout our trip and left the house in amazing condition. We’ll be booking again with AnnMarie for future trips.”
“Absolutely phenomenal levels of care, thoughtfulness, thoroughness, and detail from Henry. Hands down the best cat sitter we have ever had. Thank you for taking care of our little kitty as if she were your own, Henry!”
“Leah took great care of our two cats while we were away. We appreciated the daily photo updates and notes on how the cats were doing. Good communicator and very responsive.”
“Christina is such a wonderful cat sitter. We’ve booked with her a few times now and will keep booking with her in the future. She leaves thoughtful notes about her stay when she checks in on our two cats and we feel secure and calm knowing she’s keeping an eye on their wellbeing when we’re away. Thanks as always!!”
“Jenna was absolutely fantastic! She was so sweet and attentive to our cat, Millie, and was always sure to send us a daily update and the cutest photos! Millie loved her visits and we had such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Will definitely book Jenna again the next time we’re away!”
“Jordan was great! She was so attentive to our cat's needs, and sent us plenty of updates and photos so we wouldn't miss him as much! She was very familiar with different needs and very able to adapt her care accordingly. We will definitely book with Jordan again!”
“This was our first time ever hiring a pet sitter (new cat parents!) - Christina was absolutely wonderful. Put our minds completely at ease, super communicative, and we came back to two very happy and healthy kittens!!”
“Esy is a true professional. She is super kind, does pet tasks well, gives love and care even to pets eho need supplements and are older. I would highly receommend her for any pet care job.”
“Maryline took great care of my cat while I was out of town. She was friendly, attentive, caring, and sent lovely photos - very reassuring. I will absolutely book Maryline again.”
About: I’ve walked and trained my own lab mix (10) as well as worked as a dog walker and sitter for independent clients. I’m great with energetic dogs of all sizes. I work a minimum wage job full time during the week, but am looking to supplement or replace it with dog walking on weekends and evenings. At my clients home I will sit out with the dog and crate it easily if needed. I am able to take the dog out every few hours and love taking them on long walks if desired.
“Emily showed us not only how much she cares for our boy Odin, but also that she is rooted in years of experience! Odin is a bit barky to new people and Emily was able to handle the situation with grace - so much so, that she had him at her feet at the end of the visit! She is prompt in all her communication. And being so kind to our whole family was so very appreciated. I would recommend Emily to any dog parent wanting whole, compassionate, and reliable care. 10/10 will definitely book again!!!”
“Maritza was great with our cat, Mushki. She was consistent with showing up and with sending us pictures & short videos of our handsome guy! She did a great job caring for him while we were gone. I highly recommend her and look forward to rebooking her in the near future!”
“Rebecca Z. Has been incredible taking care of our kitties while our house sitter friend had to leave to for an emergency. She took over smoothly and Ian and George (our kitties) warmed up to her fast. We received many pictures and detailed updates for every visit. I will be definitely working with Rebecca on future trips”

“Leah was the perfect combo of chill and attentive. Great communication leading up to and throughput our dogs first stay with her. Leah has a great set up for dog sitting with a beautiful and spacious (for the neighborhood) yard for the pups to play in. Look forward to using her services again!”
“Anna was awesome! Our boy stayed with her while we visited the city for two days and had an amazing time with her and her pups! They had your playtime hike river time and I'm pretty sure he smells so good he even got a bath! We were just passing through so sad we won't be able to have him stay with her again”
“Laurie was great!! I had a super busy day at work so needed someone to keep him occupied for the day and Laurie & Yoshimi did a fantastic job tuckering Hank out. Laurie was super responsive. Will definitely book again!”
“Maryline is amazing! It was my first time leaving my puppy all day, and she made it way easier than i thought. She is so sweet and caring and my pup felt comfortable right away. She sent so many pictures that made me feel as ease and her you could tell my puppy loved her sons, and they kept him playing and busy which tuckered him out. Highly recommend her for any of your fur babies needs. I know that she is now my #1 go to person for my little Theo!”
“Tara was amazing! She helped me out last minute and was super communicative the whole time. She sent regular updates and clearly cared about Finn—he loved being with her! So grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Daniela was really wonderful, attentive and patient and flexible. Goguma is still in his puppy phase and got to play with her dog. She checked in several times. I felt like Goguma was in great hands and look forward to future dates with Daniela.”
About: I have a very special connection with all animals and will love and care for your pet as if it were my own! I have a lifetime of experience with cats and a few years of experience with dogs, namely raising and training my own dog from ~2 months old. He’s the sweetest, happiest pup and he is very loved! I work from home and have plenty of time to spend with your pet, whether that’s walking them, playing with them or bringing them to appointments!! I don’t have a fenced in yard but have plenty of space to walk and play with your dog outside (or inside!). I can crate the dog if necessary, and my puppy is extremely friendly and welcoming with new dogs!
“David took excellent care of our two pups! He was very attentive and made sure to ask good questions ahead of time. He communicated frequently with us and kept us updated! We picked up 2 very happy dogs. Would definitely recommend”
“Annie was great! She was super responsive and helpful. I dropped Parker off at Puppy Paws while visiting Storm King, which is conveniently about 5 minutes down the road. The shop itself is super cute and Parker was very well taken care of.”
“Stefany made sure Marty was happy and comfortable. Communication was excellent and she went above and beyond keeping me informed and meeting Marty's needs. Her home is SPOTLESS and very cozy for a dog. We will definitely be booking a visit again in the future.”
“I feel beyond lucky to have found Krystal to watch over my sweet Sky. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely cared—not just about the job, but about building a real connection with Sky. Throughout the entire week, Krystal went above and beyond in every way. She made sure Sky had a safe and comfortable way to enjoy the outdoors by providing a lead and took her on frequent walks to keep her active and happy. What meant the most to me was seeing how excited Sky was every time she saw Krystal. That kind of bond and trust doesn’t happen easily, and it gave me so much peace knowing Sky was in such loving hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly dedicated, I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Krystal, for everything!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and understand them very well. I now have a cat of my own and looking to look after both. I am currently working part time so will have plenty of time to tend to your furbaby. I can go to your place and take care of them. I can easily handle different temperaments of cats and dogs and look after them in your own home. I also have 1 cat that is friendly.
About: I've always loved dogs and caring for them, I grew up in a house full of children and well-loved pets. My current furry friend is Pippin, we've been inseparable for 5 years now. I'm a freelance puppet designer and am often working from home. My schedule is super flexible and I love spending time outdoors as much as possible! I am dedicated to treating every dog, even those I pass on the street, with the same love and care I give to my own! Making sure their needs are met and they're happy and loved is my utmost priority- and I have lots of energy and love to give!
“It was my first time using this app, and definitely I am happy I did with Brittany. She is so lovely, gentle and she knew how to approach to my babies since it was their first time staying with a stranger. When I picked them up, 3 hours later, they were looking so happy and very confident. Brittany is very professional and She showed love and care for my babies, definitely I will go to her if I need to leave my babies again. ☺️”
“Alexis took excellent care of River Rose during her two-day stay. From the moment River was dropped off, I felt confident she was in great hands. Alexis sent daily photos, videos, and updates, which meant so much to me as a very overprotective dog mom. River Rose is incredibly special to me, and Alexis made me feel completely at ease the entire time. It was clear that she genuinely cared for River and treated her as if she were her own pet. The love, attention, and care she provided exceeded my expectations. I can't recommend Alexis enough and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. I'd also be happy to serve as a reference for anyone considering her services. Thank you, Alexis, for taking such wonderful care of River Rose!”
“Excellent care and attentiveness. My dog was comfortable right away, during a rough week of meeting lots of new people and lots of change. But my dog loves Matthew’s son, which is the secret sauce 🤣”
About: Whether we’re talking dogs or cats or hamster or frogs or birds… you name it. My family and I have cared for an abundance of pets throughout life. I now have the sweetest beagle mix aka my best friend Toby! I work 24 hour shifts as an EMT so I am able to cover my full time hours in only two days. This allows the other 5 days to spend time and play with the pups! On my days off you can find me and Toby walking around town or hiking Mnt. Beacon. I have much experience with many types of dogs— different sizes, breeds, strength, temperaments. I can assure you pup is in good hands! : )

“Gretchen was very responsive and able to fulfill my last minute needs. My dog looked very happy on his walk with her and her son, and I would happily ask Gretchen to look after my pupper again. Thank you Gretchen.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, so I take the time to follow specific routines, dietary requirements, and any special instructions you provide. In addition to general care, I have skills in administering oral medications, handling anxious pets, and reinforcing basic commands for dogs. I’m also experienced in recognizing signs of stress or illness, which allows me to respond quickly if a situation arises. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or giving attention, I make sure pets feel loved and secure while their owners are away. My goal is to provide the same level of care and affection they would receive from you. Pet care is an important and enjoyable part of my day! I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get their walks, meals, and attention right on time. Spending time with animals is something I look forward to, so I always make sure they have the care and love they need every single day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my first priority. When I’m in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and make sure everything is secure and pet-friendly. I give your pets plenty of love and attention so they feel happy and stress-free while your away. If I care for them in my home, they’Ll have a clean cozy space with fresh water, a comfortable resting area, a big fenced in backyard, and lots of playtime. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved and well cared for in any environment.
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. My family has always assigned me daily dog chores, such as taking them for walks, feeding them, playing with them, ensuring they sleep well, and giving them baths I'm currently working part-time, so I can adjust my schedule to care for your pups. I’m usually available on weekends or during the afternoons on weekdays I don't have a fenced yard, but my apartment complex has a dog trail and a small lake nearby. It's a great spot for your dog to relax by the water, enjoy a walk along the trail, or play with other dogs

I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week for walks, drop-ins, or pet care.

“I was very happy the care and exercise Leah provided to our dog, Walter. She was very communicative on the days when she walked him and kept me regularly updated by sharing photos and videos of their walks (and it always looked like Walter was having a great time). I would highly recommend Leah, and I hope she can spend more time with Walter in the future!”

About: I’ve owned dogs that I have actively taken care of for years now! Raising my own boxer puppy and helping out family and friends by dog sitting and taking care of dog their dogs for them! I’m currently a freshman at UB! My classes are pretty short and spread out throughout the day! I would have ample time to check on your dog multiple times day! I am also available almost every weekend! I can actively take your dog out, play with it, take it for walks! Whatever is needed to make sure your dog is in a good environment!
About: I’ve had pets most of my life, I love animals and being outdoors. I’ve also rescued a few animals and have taken care of my friends and family’s pets before. I have a open schedule so wether it’s just checking or going for walks you can be sure your pet will revive the same care as my own. In general I keep them safe especially when it comes to my friends or clients. I make sure they are feed, watered, exercised, played with and most importantly they are loved.
About: I personally have a cat that was initially my daughter’s but I inherited her and have grown to love immensely. I have cared for my daughter’s chameleon and tortoise in her absence on several occasions. I’m a big dog lover!!! They bring me lots of joy. I have had shepherds, Belgian Malinois, mixed breeds, and labs in my life. Currently I continue to have two full grown labs, and a yellow puppy lab in my life through my great friend. I could not imagine life without them. They are the definition of unconditional love. I’m currently working full time, but if needed I can be available in the evening for dog walking. And on the weekends I have availability for dog walking, feeding, or playing. I will care for them as if they were my own with care, compassion, and love. And ensure that they are always safe in my hands.
“Kalyna, did an amazing job with bishop while I was away for the holidays. She is reliable and great with dogs. If you haven’t booked her yet. You need to stop thinking and BOOK HER NOW!!”
“Jr was the best option for taking care of my girls while I was gone. They made sure they knew every detail of care before I left and sent me updates while I was gone. I could not have asked for a better sitter!!!”
About: I've taken care of my own dog and cats for over 10 years, as well as others' fur babies. My love for animals makes this a job that I actually enjoy and feel passionate about. Your pets will be safe and happy with me. I am stepping down to part time at my current job so that I can make more time for sitting/walking! My schedule will therefore be much more flexible. Whether your yard is fenced in or not, I will cautiously watch your fur baby and make sure they are safe at all times (doors closed/locked, leashed when walking, etc.)
“Emily has been walking my two pups for a couple days and she has been great. She’s goes above and beyond for our pups who she just met! Glad I went with Emily, she sends me updates on each walk and has been helping us tremendously! Our pups get excited to see her! I highly recommend.”
