“Irene took great care of my older dog for the long weekend. I got video and photo updates and she was very kind taking care of my dog that needs medication and more care.”
“Laurie and her son were the most wonderful of hosts. My pooch came back happy and tired. I received so many photos over the three days he stayed with Laurie. Thank you! Will see you again!”
“Farva is very responsive and has a very calm, caring nature which is perfect for our anxious dog. Jack had lots of playtime with Farva and came home very relaxed. He is looking forward to his next stays”
“Arianne and her family took such great care of Luke. This is the second time Luke has stayed with them and once again Arianne was very patient with Luke, helped him adjust and always kept me informed as to how he was doing. She sent me daily pictures and was very quick to respond to all my messages. When I picked up Luke he was very calm and he looked well taken care of. You guys are awesome!”
“Lily was warm and caring. Leo was comfortable and played with his friends. She gave the food exactly as instructed. Shared endearing pictures with us. Overall it was a good experience for all of us. Thanks Lily.”
“Jomini and her family gave our dog Piper a home away from home! She got a lot of affections, walks, and was treated like a member of the family! I was sent daily updates with pictures. Jomini coordinated with me fairly last minute and I appreciate her flexibility! Would absolutely book again.”
“First time boarding with Randi and it was an incredibly smooth experience. Randi is extremely flexible and was a life saver for when we were away on a multi city driving trip. We were watching the weather in case we needed to abandon our plans and come back home mid trip. Randi was extremely flexible and accommodating and I am so grateful for that. Our dog is a picky eater and is also on some tricky meds…and Randi kept in touch with regular updates. She persevered with attempts to get her to eat both food and meds, until our dog did finally start to eat! Our dog came home happy and healthy! We will definitely board with Randi again!”
“We had our dog stay with Joy for 8 days while we were away on vacation. She took such great care of Daisy and gave her the most fun week of her life! We looked forward to the regular updates and photos Joy sent us. She made us feel not only comfortable with leaving our dog in her care, but also that she was providing lots of attention and love for her in our absence. Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking in the future. Daisy will be so happy to stay with her again!”
“My dog had a fantastic time w Maxine and her family :) He stayed for ten days and Maxine was kind enough to send pictures and/or a video daily, which was very welcomed while we traveled! I wholeheartedly recommend her to care for your dog 🐕”
“Our dog Daisy had such a blast at Grace‘s house! She got to run around in the big backyard with other dogs and play and she came home tired, which was so nice! Definitely would bring Daisy back”
“This was Phoebe’s second stay with Kevin. He took great care of her, and I can tell she’s always happy to see him. Kevin was careful to keep to Phoebe’s schedule, which I appreciate!”
“Sara was the perfect choice for Dory while we were visiting town. She was focused on ensuring she understood Dory’s needs before and during her stay. Dory came home happy and tired… and Sara provided us with great reports during her stay and at pickup. We highly recommend!”
“Karine, Ryan and Misu are the best! If you want your dog to be treated like family while you are away and not worry at all, they are the ones to call. I am an overprotective dog mom and my little guy is super attached to us, but miraculously he warmed up to Karine right away. He ate well, played, went out for lots of walks, got along great with Misu and was so well-adjusted while we were out of the country. I could not have asked for a better experience and give Karine my highest recommendations. She also sent me a lot of wonderful photos, so I always knew what activities Chewie was up to each day. 5 stars!!!”
“Ivon was the most perfect peace of mind. We’re new to the area and she helped us in a pinch. She communicated often — and with lots of photos! We never had to wonder what our pup was up to, the updates were so frequent and thorough. And filled his day with so many fun activities. We’re so grateful!”
“My golden retrievers had a great time at Radonstina’s house. She was a great communicator and sent lots of pictures. I could tell right away that our dogs were enjoying their stay.”

“I highly recommend booking Laurie as your pet sitter. She has watched our cat twice and I feel better being away knowing our cat is well-taken care of. She sends thorough updates during the drop ins, follows up afterwards, and includes pictures of our pet which I really appreciate.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, including senior cats with more complex medical needs. I’ve regularly handled nightly medication routines, including giving pills, administering oral medications with syringes, hiding medication in food when needed, applying ear creams, and even giving insulin injections. I understand how important patience and a calm approach are, especially with cats who may be nervous or not feeling their best. I always prioritize their comfort while making sure medications are given safely and correctly. In addition to medical care, I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or requires extra care, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away.
“Becky rules. Very responsive, very communicative, did a great job of taking care of our kitties despite a snow storm. Sent great pictures and knew how to interact with our shy one. Would book again!”
“Cece was fantastic taking care of our old man kitty while we were away. She gave him lots of love, sent lots of photos, and stayed in constant communication with us. We recommend her. Thank you!!”
“Emily was great from the start. She requested a quick in-person meet with Shadow to get acquainted and to see the layout of the house, where the food, litter, etc are kept and this went a long way towards ensuring my family was comfortable with someone new taking care of our pet. She was so timely and thorough with her updates and sent along pictures daily which we really appreciated. We’ll be calling Emily again, you should do the same!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life! My family dog of 12 years passed away last year, but she definitely taught me a lot. I have experience with dogs of all ages, even senior dogs! I am a recent college graduate (Bucknell University Class of 2024!) taking a gap year before pursuing a master's degree. This means my schedule for the time being is incredibly flexible, and I can help accommodate to your scheduling needs! I happily follow all instructions left for your pet care, and am happy to send consistent updates about your pets well-being! Whatever makes you most comfortable in your home!
About: Over thirty years of cat companionship, and not a single one of my cats arrived by my own design. The Cat Distribution System has excellent taste. My current household includes two cats: Gretchen and Ice. Gretchen came to me as a tiny feral kitten I pulled from under an abandoned car. She went on to live a full and varied life — including a stint as a working mouser on a goat farm — and has now retired into a life of quiet domesticity, which she has fully earned. Ice is a chonker with tummy trouble who would simply rather not. We love him against his wishes. I can handle all the usual care — feeding, litter boxes, playtime, cuddles if your cat is into that. I'm also comfortable giving pills and injections, which not everyone can say. And after three decades of cat companionship, I know cat behavior well enough to tell the difference between a cat just being a cat and a cat who actually needs a vet. That distinction matters, and I won't miss it. Your cat will be in good hands. Even if they pretend not to care.
About: I have had years of experience with other peoples pets, and primarily my own. I have taken care of my own Dogs, cats, snakes, hamsters, horses, and fish over the years. I’ve grown up with puppies, and currently have my own 2 kittens, and also have had elderly dogs, cats, and horses before. I have always adored animals, and have always been an important part in my life so I would love to make more furry friends with your pets:) I currently am enrolled in school at The University of New Hampshire. My schedule is super open this semester since I took summer classes so my work load would be easier. In home care : I would make sure to send client photos if l was boarding their pet at my apartment, and make sure I follow the exact instructions given. When other people watch my pets , there’s always the anxiety of making sure they are treated well, and taken care of. Clients home: if I took care of the clients pets, I would make sure that I followed all the rules given and more. I understand it can be uncomfortable for a stranger to be in your house, so trust and reassurance everything is safe it’s important as a pet and home owner
About: I’ve always loved spending time with cats and getting to know their unique personalities. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure each cat feels safe and cared for. I’m happy to help with feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and giving them company while you’re away.
“Marta is always the best pet sitter! She took care of our cats while we were away for our wedding and we left with no anxieties because of her ability to care for our cats so well! Thank you Marta! We recommend her 100%!”
“From the moment we met Diana my dog and kitten both responded to her with no hesitation- my dog loved her from first meeting. Our trip was extended and she was flexible with all the back and forth changes . Which we really appreciate and was reassuring! Not only did she add on last minute service, she also was ready to adjust payment ( credit) for scheduling changes . I am thankful to have found her, and will happily ask for continued help with Diana!”
About: Hello! I’ve grew up surrounded by cats for most of my life. I’ve had lots of experience changing litter boxes, administering meds, and giving cuddles and scratches! Cats have some really unique personalities that set them apart and I would love to meet yours!
“Michelle was very easy to work with. She gave us regular updates on our cats and dog and spent lots of quality time with them. She even swam with our water-loving dog! I will use her in the future and highly recommend.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bedford Hills
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. I owned two Miniature Pinschers growing up and I adopted one Australian Shepherd mix that has special needs as an adult. I trained all of my dogs from the time they were puppies until they passed away as seniors. I also volunteered at the Humane Society of Westchester. I've always enjoyed being around animals since I was young and animals tend to feel the same way about me. Animals who are usually timid around strangers are comfortable around me right away and they seem to trust me right away. I feel like connecting with animals (dogs specifically) is a gift that I have. Being a sitter is a great way for me to use that gift in everyday life. New clients get a free 2027 desk calendar that has photos of my clients and my dog as well (check my photos for a preview). I'm able to adapt to the normal routine of the pets that I'm sitting in order to make the process as smooth as possible. I don't have a lot of room in my studio apartment so I'm only able to watch either 1-2 small dogs or one medium sized dog. Large dogs are too big for my apartment. If I'm at a client's home, I'll change my schedule to meet the needs of the pet. I believe all animals are unique and all have different needs in order to thrive in the environment that they're in. I'm willing to meet those needs by building my schedule around the animals that I'm sitting.
“We were visiting from out of town and needed daycare over the holidays. Laurie was available and amazing. Ollie was safe and happy and she sent lots of pictures to reassure us. How lucky we were to find her!”
“Irene and family are awesome caregivers for our dog, Tater Tot, who is always extremely excited to be dropped off. Tater Tot is blind and has separation anxiety and they have been very accommodating in supporting her. I’m thankful to have them be able to take care of her.”
“Dew goes above and beyond for my puppy. Checks in regularly when he is in her care and even checks in when he is at home. As a first time user of a dog-sitter, I was anxious about leaving my puppy in someone else’s care. Dew almost immediately alleviated my concerns. I feel like her care has been a major benefit for me and for my puppy’s social development. Will continue to take advantage of Dew’s services for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!”
“Tessia was great! She updated me periodically to let me know how my dog was doing through updates via the Rover app. She was also great enough to pick my dog up and drop him off as needed! Would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I grew up in a dog-centric household, however I have taken care of my own dogs for the past 19 years. For the last 8 years, I've had the opportunity to foster dogs through different organizations, as well. It has been an extremely rewarding and educational experience with regards to learning about a multitude of different dogs and how best to deal with different dog personalities and what their mannerisms indicate. The foster dogs that I cared for ranged from puppies to senior dogs and included numerous different breeds. I've had dogs that were incredibly easy, as well as ones that were particularly difficult and high maintenance. These experiences have made me open to taking care of all types of dogs; I'm happy to help administer medicine, eye drops, insulin injections, etc. I've experienced it all! My schedule is flexible because I'm currently based from my home. This basically means that I'm available to provide care in whatever capacity needed beginning from late morning until the evening and any day Whenever a dog is my responsibility I make a point of giving them the care and attention that they require. I'm available to walk any pup beginning from late morning into the evening, including multiple times a day. I currently live in a house with 3 acres and a huge back yard with forest surrounding it, so it is not fenced. However, I'm more than happy to walk your dog if there's a fear that they will run into the forest. I'm also open to dog-sitting for anyone going on vacation! Our house is set up to accommodate dogs visiting and staying due to my previous fostering, which is how I came to have my two current dogs. Also, I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement to teach dogs acceptable behavior and manners, so no punishments that may traumatize or hurt the pup!
“Hannah took very good care of my dog including interactive play and buying her new toys. Hannah was very responsive to my texts. Last but not least she is very personable and definitely shows her love for dogs. I have already rebooked for a few more days.”
“Leidy was very easy to work with. Flexible and accommodating. Our dog Kiko seems to have a good time as she is normally anxious of any thing new. We look forward to working with Leidy soon. Thank you very much .”
“Luke took care of Haru very well. He understands she needs a little more attention than adult dog, and made her happy. He sent her photos and she looked so relaxed. Highly recommended and I will book again for sure.”
About: Caring for four-legged creatures means doing for them what they can't do for themselves. As a dog owner and pet care-giver, my time is often shared between more than one furry friend and multiple care-giving tasks. Every pet is unique and may need different levels of care. Most pets love extra attention while others look forward to a structured walk. They look forward to finding food prepared for them and someone to notice their playful smile. If your furry friend is like me, they will want to go outside rain or shine :) My professional experience pet-sitting includes walking multiple dogs, preparing food, administering oral and topical medication, participating in playtime, allowing for potty time and settling in for the night. I love working with all types of dogs :)
About: Our business has been booming with referrals and friends/family requests. Since dogs bring so much joy to life, I am dedicating more time to open bookings to new pets. I am a dog lover for a lifetime. As a kid, I would care for strays. As an adult, I have had a dog in my life for the past 30 years- I have adopted 3 full grown, mature labs from various shelters and they all had a great, long life! My current Lab is our sitting “mascot” and she welcomes all dogs to our homestay center. She was an adoptee from an elderly couple. My young adult son & dog-lover is a great co-host to care for and play with your pet. Pets are like family here and they will be loved, cared for and respected. We will give play, attention, exercise, love and create a setting where your pet feels comfortable and not stressed. We should do a meet and greet with our dogs prior to first boarding. The yard here is fully fenced, but I only let dogs out in the yard with supervision. I will give walks/hikes, as you like. Your dog can sleep and hang-out in whatever area of the house is comfortable to him or her. If they prefer a crate, we can. If they prefer their own room, they can have my lower level finished room. If they like to mix it up with the family they can. We cater to your dog and help to diminish their stress and let them be themselves. If the pup is stressed and needs extra attention at night, they can sleep in the bedroom, ( sometimes on the bed, only if you allow that) . I have cared for multiple senior and special needs dogs, providing medication, and special care routines. We look forward to getting to know your loving pet and offering them a home away from home! Pet Care is a dominant share of our daily lives. Someone is here most of the day, so lots of interaction and attention is provided. If we run out , here or there ( as you would at home) each dog get’s their own space to hang-out. Dogs visiting from different families are only together, when supervised. My Home-Away-Vacay-Stay has a fully fenced yard with plenty of toys. Run of the house and cuddles with our family make your pup feel at home.
“Richard and Karen watched my dog Babs for 2 days while my partner and I were both at work. It was fantastic! They are such loving caretakers and each day Babs was well fed, played out and sleepy when she came back to me! Will definitely use them in the future whenever we need someone to watch Babs!”

“We are so grateful to have found Joseph. Our mini poodle is quite skittish around people other than family, and Joseph showed great patience and understanding with her, allowing her to get comfortable on her own timeline. Now when he arrives, our dog is thrilled to see him and comes home from walks happy and relaxed. We also appreciate Joseph's dependability and reliability; we trust him completely.”

“Christine is fantastic! I needed someone to walk my dog Buddy at the last minute. Christine was able come over for a meet and great right away and book our walk. She definitely helped me out in a pinch and was wonderful!”
About: Hi! I’m Caitlin, a lifelong animal lover with nearly 10 years of pet-sitting experience. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, much more and I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m skilled in feeding, exercise, medications, and daily care, always making sure pets get the attention and love they deserve. As a daycare teacher, patience, safety, and reliability come naturally to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, creating a calm, happy, and stress-free experience. Whether you need walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, you can trust that your furry friends will be well cared for, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I work 6:30 AM–3:30 PM as a preschool teacher. I’m available for overnight stays during the week, and depending on your pet’s location, I may be able to stop by during my lunch break for a quick potty break. I’m also available for evening walks, drop-in visits, and weekend care. I provide care in your home, following your pet’s routine and rules to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable. I offer walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, always supervising to ensure your pet is secure and stress-free. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency, tailoring care to each pet’s personality and needs. You can relax knowing your furry, feathery, or scaly friend will receive attentive, loving, and reliable care while you’re away
“Lana did such an amazing job walking our dog for several weeks while we were away this summer. She is a great communicator and took such fantastic care of our Lagotto. We would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and professional dog walker. Thank you Lana!”
“Emily is a very pet friendly person. She took the time to come to house and learn about Baileys needs and preferences and was timely, helped me figure out Ro er process and successfully accomplished visit while we were away and followed up. Recommend her.”
About: Our pets are a very special part of our families. They each have their own quirks and personalities, and they all bring so much love and joy to our lives. I will meet your pet’s needs, and spend time with them in the way they like the most. I have been a dog walker and pet care provider for 17 years now, and I still love my job! Each pet that I meet makes me smile. I like to think that I am able to give some of the happiness these animals bring to me, back to them. Over my 17 years of being a pet care provider, I have had experience with dogs of all different breeds, sizes and ages -from puppies to seniors. I am fully insured. I am willing to work with your pup on basic training, or put them in my car, for a short drive to a favorite walking area. If you need me to feed your dog or cat, please let me know. I can also spend time playing or cuddling with your dog or cat. When I am not enjoying the company of pets, I am drawing or painting pet portraits for commissions. I look forward to meeting your special pet. I will give them the activity, affection, and attention that is right for them. I am dependable, professional and most of all, caring. You can count on me to take good care of your pet, and you can feel confident, knowing that your pet is in exceptional hands, when you are not able to take care of them yourself. I have been walking dogs and taking care of pets during the day for 17 years now, and I spend my evenings drawing and painting pets for commissions as a pet portrait artist. It’s all about the animals with me! I would love to come to your home and walk your dog in your neighborhood, or perhaps drive them to a close by favorite walking area. Some dogs have invisible fence collars, and need to be driven off the property, or they live on busy streets, that are not safe streets to walk on. I can drive them to a quiet side street or a park, if you prefer. You can request a feeding, if you would like, and I could do a quick scan of the house for any unexpected accidents, and clean them up for you. I can do drop-in visit (15 minutes), or a full 30 minute walk or play in the yard. More time can be requested, if necessary. For cat care, I can clean the litter boxes, feed your cat/refresh their water, and play or cuddle with them. I can also take a quick scan of the house for messes for them also.
About: I have taken care of friends and family pets over the course of this year some long-term and some short term. Frequent dog park visits and timely feedings. I can accommodate all types of diets, raw kibble, and specialty foods. I currently work full-time however I have a rotating schedule so I can often pet sit and drop in weekdays if needed and weekends. I am off in the mornings so drop and visits are easy for people who work 9 to 5 and just want their dog to have some extra time out or to just check in on the cats. There is an option of having your pet here in my space all to themselves or with my personal pets. I have different options of sleeping accommodations for your pet cage, cot and cushioned. Though I do not have a fenced in yard, I have a dog park in my complex as well as a dog park 4 minutes away by car. I can accommodate all diets, including raw diet.

About: Hi there! My name is Kat, and I have a deep, well-rounded background in animal care. With 3+ years of hands-on experience in animal rescue and 10 years of personal pet sitting (and 22+ years of animal-loving!), I bring calm expertise, safety awareness, and specialized care that goes far beyond standard pet sitting. I'm also a certified Wilderness First Responder and American Red Cross CPR Certified. Rescue Training: My time in animal rescue taught me to read subtle animal body language, prevent stressful situations, and keep pets safe and relaxed in any environment, while also serving as a friend and comfort to animals in need! Medication Administration: I have experience giving oral, topical, and routine medications to a wide variety of animals, ranging from kittens to senior dogs. Experience in All Sizes & Energy Levels: From toy breeds to giant dogs, I understand how to handle different temperaments and physical needs. I love taking high-energy dogs on extensive, engaging walks (especially on our local hiking trails!) to keep them physically exercised and mentally happy. I am a full-time student supporting myself while working toward my paralegal certification. I take my courses online from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Monday-Thursday), so I am available for in-house sitting, drop-in visits, or whatever your pet may need! Since I offer only In-House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, and walk services, your pets will receive 1-on-1 attention without leaving the comfort of their familiar surroundings. My priority is maintaining their daily routine while keeping your home secure and your pets safe. With every visit, I will provide consistent photo updates and detailed reports after each drop-in/day! Flexible, personalized pet care (drop-ins & sitting): Regardless of whether it's a quick 30-minute stop-in for food, meds, play, and potty breaks, or an overnight stay, I adapt entirely to your pet’s individual needs and routine. I strive to keep homes tidy, secure, and maintained, reducing travel stress for everyone and helping pets feel their best! Outdoor Safety: During walks and outdoor breaks, safety is paramount- I practice attentive situational awareness and strive to maintain large distances from any off-leash dogs, as well as ensuring your pet is safely and securely harnessed/leashed. Overall Safety Precautions: From my rescue experience, animals are curious!- In this, I ensure all doors, gates, and deadbolts are latched securely during every entry and exit, double-check that food and medications are sealed out of reach, as well as keeping a watchful eye out for subtle changes in pet health or behavior. Home Maintenance/Overall Peace of Mind: During house sits and drop-ins, I am happy to bring in mail, water plants, keep your living spaces spotless, or help with any other tasks.
About: Reliable, responsible will care for your dog like it is my own. Will follow all instructions to the letter. Comfortable with sick and older dogs. As a nurse, I have very flexible schedule and can easily accommodate last minute requests and scheduling demands to accommodate your changing schedule. Willing to work out what is needed for your dog. I believe that your dog is your dog so I will follow all instructions. I will only give the food that is allowed. Watching your dog in your home provides the least disruption to your dog while you are away.I love all dogs and will care for your dog like it is my own.
About: For the past three years, I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter with my mother. I completed my senior internship there and now volunteer on my own. In my time at the shelter, I’ve gained lots of dog walking experience, especially with young puppies. I’m familiar with shelter training techniques and with cleaning and sanitation. I have two dogs of my own, one of which is a difficult walker. I know how most types of dog harnesses work. My internship involved spending time in the cat room, during which time I worked with cats of all temperaments. I don’t currently work in an official capacity and don’t play any sports, so I’m free pretty much all the time aside from my volunteer work. I’m going to college in September, so I’m not available for long term arrangements that go past summer. I’m used to animals with a wide range of play styles. I have a dog that loves to play fetch and go for swims, and I live near a large trail system, so I’m most familiar with those forms of enrichment. I have a minivan and can drive dogs to dog parks, trails, and fields.
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life and know how to make animals feel comfortable and cared for. I offer dog walking and cat boarding from my home in Yorktown Heights. Guest cats stay in their own private room with fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. For dog walking I keep things low stress, consistent, and fun. I work from home regularly so I'm around often and take every pet's routine seriously. I treat every animal like my own. I work from home frequently which means pets in my care are never left alone for long stretches. For dog walking I'm flexible on timing and can work around your schedule for morning, afternoon, or evening walks. For cat boarding, guest cats get visits multiple times a day including morning feeding, a midday check-in, and an evening wind-down with fresh food, clean water, and a scooped litter box. Weekends I'm generally very available and weekdays I can accommodate most requests with a little advance notice. I genuinely enjoy spending time with and meeting new animals so this isn't a job to me, it's a passion. I have a dog and two cats of my own so I know firsthand what animals need to feel safe and comfortable. Guest cats are kept in their own private, dedicated room completely separate from my resident pets, giving them a quiet space to decompress and settle in at their own pace. For dog walking I keep things calm and consistent, always on leash, through the safe residential streets of Yorktown Heights or local parks where my dog frequents himself. I pay close attention to each animal's personality and adjust my approach accordingly. Whether a pet is social and energetic or shy and cautious, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. My home is peaceful, clean, and genuinely pet friendly.
About: I have cared for puppies to seniors. Knowing their needs is very important for their ultimate well being. I have also have hospice care experience. I am currently taking care of pets full time. Consisting of daily walks, hiking, snuggling and lots of love. Whatever their needs are I am here to help. Home is a sacred space The pet parent’s home will be kept exactly how it was when I arrived. I am happy to make the pup feel at home.

“Irene took great care of my older dog for the long weekend. I got video and photo updates and she was very kind taking care of my dog that needs medication and more care.”
“Farva is very responsive and has a very calm, caring nature which is perfect for our anxious dog. Jack had lots of playtime with Farva and came home very relaxed. He is looking forward to his next stays”
“First time boarding with Randi and it was an incredibly smooth experience. Randi is extremely flexible and was a life saver for when we were away on a multi city driving trip. We were watching the weather in case we needed to abandon our plans and come back home mid trip. Randi was extremely flexible and accommodating and I am so grateful for that. Our dog is a picky eater and is also on some tricky meds…and Randi kept in touch with regular updates. She persevered with attempts to get her to eat both food and meds, until our dog did finally start to eat! Our dog came home happy and healthy! We will definitely board with Randi again!”
“Our dog Daisy had such a blast at Grace‘s house! She got to run around in the big backyard with other dogs and play and she came home tired, which was so nice! Definitely would bring Daisy back”
“Sara was the perfect choice for Dory while we were visiting town. She was focused on ensuring she understood Dory’s needs before and during her stay. Dory came home happy and tired… and Sara provided us with great reports during her stay and at pickup. We highly recommend!”
“My golden retrievers had a great time at Radonstina’s house. She was a great communicator and sent lots of pictures. I could tell right away that our dogs were enjoying their stay.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Samantha! She took excellent care of my dog and went above and beyond to keep me updated with regular messages and adorable pictures throughout the day. It really put my mind at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. Samantha was also very easy to communicate with, accommodating, and professional from start to finish. I highly recommend her to any dog owner looking for a reliable, trustworthy sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Ryan was great with our dog, Sprint! He was very responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, which we really appreciated while we were away on vacation. Sprint got plenty of exercise and trips to the dog park every day. I also appreciated that Ryan was attentive and always followed up with questions if he needed clarification on anything related to Sprint’s care. We felt like Sprint was in great hands and would definitely use Ryan again!”
“Arsenii was fantastic with our two dogs. Wonderful communication from the very start, updates with pictures and two very happy dogs on pickup. Recommend him VERY highly! Thank you Arsenii!”
“Nandita was absolutely wonderful! We set up a meeting ahead of time to make sure my rescue would get along well with her dog Ozzy and my pup was immediately comfortable with her (you can tell she’s a dog person!) and she helped him get comfortable and acclimate to her space before we confirmed- this really put me at ease. During my dog’s stay Nandita sent regular photos and videos so that while I was away I always knew that my pup was content and happy. She has excellent communication throughout the whole planning and visit and as an added bonus her space is perfect for a dog stay especially her backyard, dog friendly neighborhood, etc. I look forward to booking with Nandita again and really think she is an incredible dog sitter. Thank you Nandita and Ozzy for a great vacation for our pup and I look forward to booking with you again for future trips!!”
“Karen and Richard were absolutely amazing! We were very worried about leaving Bentley for the first time with new humans, as he has always been with family members while we have gone away. We did a full day and an overnight, and we could tell that Bentley had a blast when we picked him up! They sent us pictures throughout the entire stay and Bentley had a great time with the other dogs there. Definitely going to rebook!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience having Erika watch our dog, Gotham, for the week! She took amazing care of him and treated our furbaby like her own. Erika stayed in touch the entire time, sending pictures and updates that gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Gotham was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. We highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Anner took wonderful care of our English lab and King Charles Cavalier for a week while we were traveling - he was very responsive and took great care of them. They came home bathed and brushed, looking better than when we dropped them off. We'll be reaching out again next time we need coverage for our pups!”
“Yasmeen is great! I appreciate that she was open to taking my dog on short notice. She was very patient with my anxious pup and made her feel comfortable. Yasmeen sent me regular pictures and updates, which made me feel comfortable. She even sent us home with a new toy!”
“Our dog Jeremy had a wonderful time with Doreen. She is very calm and caring and was very kind to me as it was our first time leaving Jeremy with her. Doreen reassured me that everything would be fine and it truly was! I would definitely recommend Doreen and will book with her again.”
“This was my first time using Rover as a sitter and the choice was amazing thanks to Judy. She updated me often and sent pictures. My dog always looked happy and was enjoying herself. I feel safe leaving her with Judy as she is made our first experience a great one!”
