“Yaina was AMAZING! She took care of our dog like it was own. We got plenty of pictures while we were away which made us smile. We will definitely use her again. Rosie our dog had the best time!”
“Rebecca was wonderful with my energetic 8 month old pitbull. She constantly sent me updates and photos throughout his stay. I felt completely at ease knowing my puppy was being well cared for. I will definitely request her services again soon and I know my puppy will be happy to see her again!”
“We have had Neo at their place multiple times and I can vouch for them. They make sure to share tons of videos and photos and are always available to check in . Would definitely recommend them.”
“Nicholas did a fantastic job watching Duke during boarding. He kept us well in the loop with tons of photos. Duke seemed like he was having such a great time, I wondered if he even wanted to come home! We will certainly be using Nicholas again in the future!”
“Wow, Karine and Ryan were such attentive caregivers for our small pup, Mikoh. We felt totally at ease leaving him with them for a week while we traveled outside the country. Karine was meticulous in caring for Mikoh, and sent multiple updates daily informing me of Mikoh's play times, eating habits, and overall wellbeing. It was also nice knowing that Mikoh was having some nice social time with other pups while we were away. I would wholeheartedly recommend their care for your pup, and look forward to working with them again in the future. Thank you!!”
“Jordan is pleasant and responsive. Latke was returned happy and healthy. He let me know that he had another booking that would overlap mine, which turned out OK but would have been an issue if the dogs didn’t get along. His apartment is small and it would have been difficult to keep the dogs separated. Also I would have appreciated more photos, especially on the first day with the other dog. He responded promptly with pictures when prompted. Overall, I would recommend him.”
“Daniel was amazing with Lilo and Kylie! He sent lots of pictures and updates that really put my mind at ease. It was clear my dogs felt comfortable, safe, and cared for the whole time. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Alissa and her fiancé are very sweet & kind. Such a welcoming & safe home. They were very attentive to my dog’s needs and even with other pups that were there, they made sure mine were taken care of properly. She has a great set up to separate any feedings, go out at any time if needed. They were happy overall! I will definitely have them watch them again in the future!”
“I simply love Isabella she took excellent care for my dog' Fluff. He absolutely loves her. She gave him his insulin and he allowed her to do so. Isabella definitely has a repeat customer Mr Fluff???”
“Can't say enough good things about Judy! She watched our dog Squirt for almost 2 weeks and provided multiple updates and pictures each day. You can tell she truly cared about taking proper care of our dog, she took notes and asked questions about all of his needs. I have used a couple different sitters and she been one of the few who have followed my particular instructions to care for Squirt to a tee. We will definitely be using Judy again ☺️”
“Sarah and her family were amazing with my Morkie. Coco can be a little particular with eating and bed times and Sarah was so accommodating! I will definitely use her again to watch Coco”
“We cannot rave enough about our experience with Danielle! We used her for our Mastiff puppy while we went on vacation and we were worried because he was a puppy on how he would be with being sat for the first time. We met with Danielle prior to the stay and our first impression was terrific. We had such a great piece of mind while we were gone. She sent multiple pictures daily and likewise kept us informed on how he was doing. We could tell that he thoroughly enjoyed his stay at her home and it was a great experience for him to be with other older dogs! Danielle was also so very patient & accommodating with us getting stuck on our trip longer due to the weather! We would/will recommend her to anyone we know and if we need a sitter in the future, we know who we will ask first! Thank you to Danielle and her family for treating our Otto as one of their own. ?You can't ask for more than that!”
“Juan is great with dogs and has a wonderful calm presence. I felt confident leaving our somewhat anxious pup with Juan for two weeks and came back to a happy and well cared for pup with photo updates during his stay. Will definitely book with Juan again!”
“BEST VACAY EVER!!! This was Striker's second stay with Vanessa and her family!!! I get daily photos and updates throughout his stay with them. Truly a blessing to have you and your family taking care of our Golden Boy!!! We always know he's in good hands when we leave Striker with you!!! He'll be back! XOXO”
“Elvia and her family are wonderful. Chloe had the best time!!! Chloe is definitely looking forward to going back to Elvia. Thank you for taking such great care of Chloe ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Rich was an amazing dog sitter! He was very accommodating and flexible when my travel plans were delayed and very communicative with pictures and updates while I was away. The property is very dog friendly with the fenced in back yard and the neighborhood is lovely. I would 100% recommend Rich and will definitely be using him as my go to dog sitter going forward. Thank you Rich!!”
“Our 2 frenchies stayed with Gabrielle for 10 days while we were out of town, and had a great time! They seemed right at home, and it was so nice to know our girls were so spoiled and well-loved while we were gone.”
“Kristen was a great sitter! She’s very responsive and easy to work with. She and her husband took great care of our puppy. She sent great updates and videos. We’d be happy to have Maggie stay with her again!”

About: I am an owner of two cats myself. A 4 year old Maine coon Nacho and a 7 year old rescue calico Annie. Throughout my childhood I’ve grown up with over 10 cats. Whenever family or friends go away I always step up to watch their cats. I am used to any kind of feedings, cleaning litter boxes, and can assist with medication if needed. I am pet CPR and first aid certified with American Health Training.
“Jessica was wonderful! We were gone for a week and nervous about our boys being left alone. She sent 10 pictures each drop in, and went above and beyond. The day we lost power while we were away, she came over and made sure they were ok. Thank you so much Jessica!”

I’m currently in school at LIU in New York and come home to Georgia for breaks. I am able to care for your fluffy friends about 5 days a week! Including walking, playing, feeding and more!! If your pet is home alone and needs some playtime I am available to come hangout with them and maybe even bring my own dogs for some company!
“Stephanie is an absolute sweetheart! I could tell she treated Saint with so much care, as if he was her own pet. ( which I love ) I will definitely be using her again for her help in the future. Not only is Stephanie nice and friendly, but she followed all the directions I left for her. Thanks 🙏”
About: I have been trusted by my neighbors & close friends to take care of their dogs over the years. I am open to accommodating different diets, cooking food for your fur baby, bathing/grooming & administering medications (if needed) & walk schedules. I have owned both young and senior dogs from when I was a child and I consider them a part of my family. Any dog in my care would be considered my family, they deserve the best and to feel comfortable and cared for while their dog parent(s) are away. I have an enclosed fenced in backyard and beaches and nature parks/(dog park) are in close vicinity to my home. I am currently available full time to take care of your fur baby. I offer both daytime and overnight boarding services in my home for up to 2 dogs, house sitting services, drop-in visits, & dog walking. Pets in my care would be on a feeding and walk schedule/itinerary that is prepared for them by their owner. Of course playtime and loads of attention and fun will be incorporated into their daily routine!

Pets I am watching are more than welcome to sleep on my couch or bed. I am also happy to oblige client requests for photo & video updates of their pets for the duration of their stay.
About: Growing up with two cats with especially different personalities has helped me understand and grow an immense love for cats. Living with two cats, since the age of 7, until the end of high school, I’ve become accustomed to not only knowing how to care for cats but also loving them! I’ve also have had privilege of taking care of my friend’s sweet kitten Lady Bug for the past year and a half. To me cats are intimate and curious animals that are loving and playful!
“I cannot recommend Tori enough! Leaving my cats for two weeks was something I was really anxious about, but she made me feel completely at ease from the very beginning. She was incredibly reliable, attentive, and caring, and I could tell my cats were genuinely comfortable and happy with her (even one of my cats who is scared of everyone, liked her!) she has such good energy and she kept me updated throughout my entire trip, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to actually relax and enjoy being away without constantly worrying about them. It’s such a huge relief to find someone you truly trust with your pets, especially for such a long trip. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and everything exactly as it should be. I’m so grateful for the care she gave them and will absolutely be using her again. If you’re nervous about leaving your pets, she is exactly the kind of person you want taking care of them!”
About: I’ve had my furry pet for 12 years before she crossed the rainbow bridge last year. I have cared about pets to a more deeper and emotional extent since I had her. I would love to spread all the joy and tenderness to another pet whenever I get the chance to. I am flexible the most during weekends and two days during the week. Pet care fits into my schedule best and I will be down to accept any gigs that will allow me to be flexible. I am very attentive when it comes to my pets needs and I do my best to keep them entertained. I make their day to day look slightly different to enhance entertainment and excitement.
About: My aunt has been breeding Maincoon and Oscicats my entire life. I’ve assisted her in the care of her litters as well as the mother cats. I’ve had two pet cats of my own who I adopted, and have helped stray and feral cats as well.
“Keira has watched my cat, Suki, many times over the past several months and is easily the best sitter I have ever had. She goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable and pays attention to the smallest details. On her most recent weekend with Suki, my apartment flooded with rain. Keira spent a hour moving half of my furniture so she could pull back my rug and dry every part of my apartment, and then put everything back where it was. Expect lots of pictures, detailed updates, and a happy pet with Keira. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Ashley was great! She took care of my kitten who has a ton of energy and managed to tire her out! She sent me updates and photos throughout the day which I really appreciated! Will definitely have her watch my Suzie again!”
About: I have owned pets since I was 4 years old. I have worked in the veterinary field since I was sixteen and am starting my 2nd year of veterinary school at Long Island University. I am able to medicate any cats, as well as give any injections needed (ex. insulin). I have experience with my personal cats over the years, as well as taking care of and medicating the feral cats that I feed around my house.

“Doggy felt right at home. She had a great day, Nicholas was very communicative, sent photos that made my heart sing and took great care of Dolly. She loved playing with Nicholas's puppy and seems like a great time was had by all. Will certainly use again.”
“Mango had a great time with Rebecca & her bf! I was so happy with frequent updates and detailed info about his day with Rebecca. My pup is only 10 weeks old so def not easy to watch all day, but she really did an excellent job! I would definitely take Mango to Rebecca’s again!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Henrik than Gabrielle. She went above and beyond our expectations. She took Henrik on hikes through the woods, for swims at the beach, and even baked him fresh pumpkin treats! Henrik returned home happy and exhausted from all the adventures Gabrielle took him on. Gabrielle truly loves and understands dogs and it shows. Thank you so much!!”

I love taking photos of your pet and will send you pictures and updates as often as you need, and please feel free to get in touch any time your beloved dog is with me as I know it’s difficult to leave them behind! I am home full time so I can dedicate the entire day to care and love your pet. I only watch one dog at a time. I love walking dogs and there is a dog friendly (leashed only) park near by if your pet enjoys lots of exercise. You can trust me to keep your pets safe, engaged and happy in my home. Your pet will have free range in my house which is dog friendly. I can provide a dog bed, blankets and towels etc. I have a fully fenced backyard that provides a safe and spacious environment for outdoor play. If your pet requires medication I am happy to give as necessary.
“Amy is amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her while I was at work. Having a meet and greet before made me feel safe and excited for her to watch Alfie! She is great with updates and communication and the entire stay was so seamless!”
“This is the first time that I left Teddy with Iris and Evan and they took great care of my little guy. He is not used to being around other dogs but they made sure that he felt comfortable. They sent plenty of pictures which reassured me that he was doing good. I would recommend them to anyone who needs someone to watch over their dogs.”
“I am so excited that Coconut enjoyed his stay with Isabella. We are now booking 10 days with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter who shares lots of feedback, pictures and truly cares about your pet.”
“My two German Shepherds, Snow and Magnum returned today from a two day stay with Loraine B. and her lovely family. My dogs do not always easily adjust to new surroundings. This time that was not the case. Both Snow and Magnum settled right in to Loraine's home and they were very comfortable with her attentive care. Don't think twice if you are looking for a loving place for your pets... they are in good hands with Loraine and her family. Just make sure to leave room for Snow and Magnum as they will be back with Loraine when next we need to be away. Thank you very much for the wonderful care!!”
“Yaina is the absolute best! We did a play date today ahead of my 11 day trip and the dogs got along great!!! They love her and her dog, Boston! Her home is extremely clean and her yard is great! My babies love their Auntie Yaina!”
“June was able to get me in at the last minute, Layla is a very shy and anxious dog and when I came back to pick her up she was so calmy, happy and playing around thank you so much will def come again. :)”
“Danielle was absolutely wonderful! I left my senior Maltese, Fluffy with her for a few hours during the day. He couldn't have felt younger and more energetic with beautiful Sassy and Danielle nearby. She was excellent with communication and even showed me his staying area along with the large fenced backyard. Her husband was just great as well they were both so incredibly kind and treated Fluffy like their own pet. I'm so glad he has found a new friend in Sassy and will definitely book future dates with Danielle and Sassy!”
About: I’ve been a dog mom to a puggle and beagle for over 20 years. With that, I have experience with high energy and sneaky personalities! As both babies entered their senior years, I was responsible in caring for their medical needs. My sweet daughter, Ruby (the beagle in picture), recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and my home and soul has not been the same. I am not ready to fill the void with my own fur baby as of yet, but ready to share my love to others. I work remotely as a social worker 5 days a week, so your baby would have plenty of attention. I have my own car and can drive for any emergencies that may arise. Please note that I will respond to messages that are received between 9AM-10PM. I make every effort to respond within 30 minutes. However, if you do not hear from me immediately, please allow me the time to reply as I will never ignore a message. I work remotely from home, so I am flexible with caring for your fur baby in my home. With walks, I am available in the afternoon and evenings with advance notice. Important 📝: Upon booking, I will ask for a meet and greet at a neutral spot. This can be at a dog friendly cafe, a park, and/or the front and then backyard at my home to reduce any stress. For privacy and safety reasons, there will be a limited (only view certain areas) in-home tour until the booking has been finalized. I have a fenced yard if your fur baby likes to run around off leash. I would also take them on walks and/or play with them according to preferences. I have no children or other fur babies in the home but if your baby is open to children, I have two nieces and a nephew who loves dogs that are willing to share their affection! Larger Dogs: I am open and available for daycare and boarding if they are leash and recall trained. Please message me and we can further discuss if we would be a good fit!
“Marina and Dennis were so welcoming to us and our dog Georgie. Georgie out plenty of attention and activity throughout the day that by the time we picked him up he was exhausted! We received updates and pictures throughout the day, which put us at ease. We would definitely use their services again!”
“This was a perfect stay for Roxy!. Karine and her husband Ryan took excellent care of our little girl. Their home is welcoming, and they are both attentive to her needs, very friendly, and responsible. Roxy is a bit anxious about being in a new environment but she felt right at home here and had fun playing with Miso. We will be back.”
“Our dog loved his stay at Ginia’s! He came home tired from a day full of running and playing! With easy drop off/ pick up and updates throughout the day this was a great day not only for our dog but us too.”
“Julia was great! We left our puppy Sonny with her one afternoon until the afternoon the next day and she kept sending us updates and pictures of him having fun. This made us feel so good knowing that she was taking the best care of him and that he was happy. We would definitely recommend and use Julia again.”

She has two super sweet dogs of her own and her home is beautiful and cozy. She is quick to respond and has proven to be reliable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her!”

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my home. Currently, my family has one high energy black lab. In September of 2024, I also adopted my first own dog, Millie! I have watched, played with, fed, and walked dogs for many years including family and friends. I am currently in my final year of veterinary school. I also have worked as a veterinary assistant so have first aid and medical skills. I’m in my clinical year of vet school so my schedule varies by which rotation I’m on! Early morning and evening would probably be best for me most of the time. I try to update my availability calendar as often as I can! My home is very safe. There are plenty of paths and green spaces for walking. Your animal would have to get up one flight of steps.
About: I’ve taken care of my families dog since I was 13 years old. I currently have a maltipoo who’s 2 years old and I’ve had him since he was a puppy. I’ve also taken care of neighbors dogs in the past as well and they relied on me when they were out of town. I am currently working from home on mondays and Fridays so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I can walk at any point in my day if I don’t have a prior meeting scheduled. I love going for walks to keep dogs active throughout the day. Treats are a necessity and positive reinforcement is needed to be the dogs new best friend
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals—dogs(5), cats(2), and even lizards—so caring for pets comes naturally to me. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I give every pet the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I’ve adopted most of my own pets and know how to make animals feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Being away for college makes me miss my own pets so caring for yours is a joy that feels like home. Im currently in school but am in class on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:50 am and 3:30 pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I am in class from 9 am to 12 pm and free for the rest of the day. On Fridays I have on class at 11 am and nothing prior or after. The weekends are also free. I will always prioritize safety and respect when caring for pets in their own homes. I follow all the owner’s rules carefully—whether it’s about feeding schedules, playtime limits, or medication. I make sure doors and gates are secure, and keep a close eye on the pet’s behavior to spot any signs of stress or discomfort. I creating a calm, comforting environment so pets feel safe and loved while their family is away. Communication with the owner is important to me, so I keep them updated and address any concerns promptly. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel confident and comfortable.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and safety-focused pet sitter based in Brooklyn, with years of hands-on care for dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’ve worked long-term with local families, volunteered with NYC Sean Casey Animal Rescue, and currently work part-time with a Westchester-based pet care company. I’m confident handling everything from high-energy pups to more sensitive or reactive dogs, and I always prioritize calm, structured, and attentive care. What You Can Expect From Me: * Reliable, communicative care and insight (updates + photos) * Safety-first handling, especially in busy NYC environments * Experience with different temperaments and behavioral needs * Respect for your dog’s routine, boundaries, and training Boarding & Home Setup My apartment in Brooklyn and family home in Westchster is pet-friendly and set up with safety in mind: * No toxic plants within reach * Pets allowed on furniture unless you prefer otherwise * Supervised outdoor time with long-lead setups * Quiet, controlled environment away from heavy street traffic While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it with structured walks, enrichment, and safe outdoor exposure. My apartment has a large gated patio, and my family home has two large grassy areas between a patio with a long lead for supervised outdoors time. I currently work freelance in roles that allow me to be home and present throughout the day. I also work part-time with a pet care company based in Westchester on a flexible schedule which has strengthened my hands-on experience with a wide range of dogs and routines. I’m based in Brooklyn and have access to both my apartment and my family home in Westchster for boarding, depending on what best suits your pet’s needs. My schedule allows me to provide consistent care, regular walks, and attention throughout the day rather than long periods of absence. I’m also open to traveling across the Tri-state area for house sitting and extended stays. I’ve been a trusted pet care companion for years, working with local families for both long-term and short stays (up to three weeks), as well as drop-in visits. For boarding, my home is fully pet-friendly, with no restrictions on furniture (unless you prefer otherwise) and no toxic plants within reach. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I provide safe, supervised outdoor time using a long lead in nearby grassy areas, along with access to a private patio. We’re also set back from the main road, which creates a calmer environment. For house sitting, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while respecting your home. I’m clean, responsible, and low-impact, and I treat every space with care. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions closely so your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. Safety is always my top priority. I’m attentive, cautious, and respectful when interacting with all animals and other dogs we may encounter. I always follow each owner’s guidance when it comes to socialization, ensuring your pet stays within their comfort zone.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiancé, Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. He is great with more high energy and active dogs, going on long walks, or runs and hikes with them. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.
About: I have been surrounded by all kinds of animals growing up: dogs, cats, bunnies, even reptiles so I absolutely love animals! I have experience with all kinds of dog breeds like pitbulls, english mastiffs, german shepards, and of course the smaller guys! I’ve always trained my own dogs. I have taken care of friends’ and family’s dogs since I was 14, but I have never been without a dog my whole life! I’m currently a college student studying nursing, so I have clinical until 3:00pm on Mondays and class until 12:00pm on Thursdays. Other than that I’m pretty available throughout the week and flexible on weekends, so I have plenty of time to care for your dogs! I currently live in dorms so I don’t offer boarding. But I would love to play with your dog inside/outside of your house for drop-in’s and walks!

“Yaina was AMAZING! She took care of our dog like it was own. We got plenty of pictures while we were away which made us smile. We will definitely use her again. Rosie our dog had the best time!”
“Rebecca was wonderful with my energetic 8 month old pitbull. She constantly sent me updates and photos throughout his stay. I felt completely at ease knowing my puppy was being well cared for. I will definitely request her services again soon and I know my puppy will be happy to see her again!”
“Nicholas did a fantastic job watching Duke during boarding. He kept us well in the loop with tons of photos. Duke seemed like he was having such a great time, I wondered if he even wanted to come home! We will certainly be using Nicholas again in the future!”
“Jordan is pleasant and responsive. Latke was returned happy and healthy. He let me know that he had another booking that would overlap mine, which turned out OK but would have been an issue if the dogs didn’t get along. His apartment is small and it would have been difficult to keep the dogs separated. Also I would have appreciated more photos, especially on the first day with the other dog. He responded promptly with pictures when prompted. Overall, I would recommend him.”
“Daniel was amazing with Lilo and Kylie! He sent lots of pictures and updates that really put my mind at ease. It was clear my dogs felt comfortable, safe, and cared for the whole time. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Can't say enough good things about Judy! She watched our dog Squirt for almost 2 weeks and provided multiple updates and pictures each day. You can tell she truly cared about taking proper care of our dog, she took notes and asked questions about all of his needs. I have used a couple different sitters and she been one of the few who have followed my particular instructions to care for Squirt to a tee. We will definitely be using Judy again ☺️”
“We cannot rave enough about our experience with Danielle! We used her for our Mastiff puppy while we went on vacation and we were worried because he was a puppy on how he would be with being sat for the first time. We met with Danielle prior to the stay and our first impression was terrific. We had such a great piece of mind while we were gone. She sent multiple pictures daily and likewise kept us informed on how he was doing. We could tell that he thoroughly enjoyed his stay at her home and it was a great experience for him to be with other older dogs! Danielle was also so very patient & accommodating with us getting stuck on our trip longer due to the weather! We would/will recommend her to anyone we know and if we need a sitter in the future, we know who we will ask first! Thank you to Danielle and her family for treating our Otto as one of their own. ?You can't ask for more than that!”
“BEST VACAY EVER!!! This was Striker's second stay with Vanessa and her family!!! I get daily photos and updates throughout his stay with them. Truly a blessing to have you and your family taking care of our Golden Boy!!! We always know he's in good hands when we leave Striker with you!!! He'll be back! XOXO”
“Elvia and her family are wonderful. Chloe had the best time!!! Chloe is definitely looking forward to going back to Elvia. Thank you for taking such great care of Chloe ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Our 2 frenchies stayed with Gabrielle for 10 days while we were out of town, and had a great time! They seemed right at home, and it was so nice to know our girls were so spoiled and well-loved while we were gone.”
“My wife and I needed a last minute dog sitter, and we found dilania here on rover. Her response was quick. When we dropped our dogs off she gave updates and took great care of our pups.”
About: I’ve been a dog mom to a puggle and beagle for over 20 years. With that, I have experience with high energy and sneaky personalities! As both babies entered their senior years, I was responsible in caring for their medical needs. My sweet daughter, Ruby (the beagle in picture), recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and my home and soul has not been the same. I am not ready to fill the void with my own fur baby as of yet, but ready to share my love to others. I work remotely as a social worker 5 days a week, so your baby would have plenty of attention. I have my own car and can drive for any emergencies that may arise. Please note that I will respond to messages that are received between 9AM-10PM. I make every effort to respond within 30 minutes. However, if you do not hear from me immediately, please allow me the time to reply as I will never ignore a message. I work remotely from home, so I am flexible with caring for your fur baby in my home. With walks, I am available in the afternoon and evenings with advance notice. Important 📝: Upon booking, I will ask for a meet and greet at a neutral spot. This can be at a dog friendly cafe, a park, and/or the front and then backyard at my home to reduce any stress. For privacy and safety reasons, there will be a limited (only view certain areas) in-home tour until the booking has been finalized. I have a fenced yard if your fur baby likes to run around off leash. I would also take them on walks and/or play with them according to preferences. I have no children or other fur babies in the home but if your baby is open to children, I have two nieces and a nephew who loves dogs that are willing to share their affection! Larger Dogs: I am open and available for daycare and boarding if they are leash and recall trained. Please message me and we can further discuss if we would be a good fit!
“Michelle was wonderful! Our dog did great with her and her family while we were away. We got lots of photos and updates. Will definitely use again for our next trip away”
“If you are looking for a person(s) to care for your dog look no further. Denis and Marina are your go to for animal care. Your dog will not want to go home with you!”
“Diana was amazing with my pup, Louis! He had an absolute blast — especially getting to run around outside and play with the other dogs and kids, which is such a treat for him since he doesn’t get that kind of freedom in Manhattan. I could tell he was well cared for and totally in his element. Communication was great, with tons of photos daily, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such a loving, fun environment. I’d strongly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible sitter — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“Chris watched my dog who has separation anxiety for a couple days. I was so nervous (for all of them) to leave my anxious guy with someone he didn't know especially during a thunderstorm, etc... but everyone made it though and I'm grateful he had another dog he could play with, etc... Thanks Chris and Co.”
“My dog Lucy was so well taken care of. Lorraine and her husband and girls were wonderful sitters. They have a beautiful fenced in yard for her to run around in. Lucy seemed very comfortable there. Lorraine was very accommodating, I can't say enough good things about the care she gives her visitors. Great experience! Thanks Lorraine and family!”
“Our boy has a great time with Cristina! He loves playing in the yard and snuggling up with some blankets at her place. She’s super communicative and takes amazing pictures of him. Highly recommend!”
