They are extraordinary!”

“Caleigh did an excellent job watching our two cats for the week. She made sure both girls were fed and their litter was properly scooped. She even went above and beyond by fixing some temporary blinds in our apartment which had fallen while we were out of town. She took out the trash as well and was in close communication with us. I’d recommend her to anyone.”
“Jessica is so sweet to our little floof! It’s important for us to have a pet sitter who really engages our cat Midge because she gets anxious without snuggles and play. Jessica does a great job!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dobbs Ferry
“The best! She does a great job and our dogs had such a wonderful time. Their excitement was our confirmation. She’s great and has a very sweet and kind persona. We will absolutely book her again! Thank you Jocelyn.”
“Dan is so kind hearted and patient towards my babies. My honey can be nervous at times and he took the time to make her comfortable. Autumn is Dans biggest fan out of all three and he was very attentive to my Pumpkins’ needs. I will definitely utilize his services again in the future and I’m very grateful for his care on such short notice. It’s hard to trust just anyone with your babies. Dan was very warm and kind from the beginning conversation. He understood my concerns and made a point of making me feel very comfortable. 10/10 experience ☺️”
“Yuri took on my request last-minute. She watched my cat during the daytime at her home while construction work was being done at mine. She is friendly, communicative, and took good care of my kitty!”
About: I’m a mom of two, and I have two Maltese of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them lots of attention and cuddles. I’ll care for your dog like they’re part of my own family, and I’ll make sure you get plenty of updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I work from home full-time and have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I love spending time outside with them, whether we’re playing in the yard or taking a relaxing stroll around the neighborhood. Because I work from home, I also offer flexible drop-in visits and dog walks before work, during my lunch break, or after my workday. Whether your pup needs a potty break, some exercise, playtime, or a little extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and I can crate your dog if needed. Since I work from home full-time, your dog will never be left alone for long and will receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. I also offer drop-in visits and dog walks before work, during my lunch break, and after work to fit your schedule.
“Tammy was an excellent choice to watch our puppy. She took great care to make sure our baby was kept cool indoors during a very hot day. Occasional outdoor breaks in the fenced-in yard were perfect. We’ll be a repeat client for sure.”
“Grace was great and communicative throughout the day, sending pictures and videos and updates!! It was great for the few hours I needed coverage for and if the need arises I'd definitely use her again”
“Evelyn and her husband took such great care of our pup, Weller. They were responsive, sent us photos, and were flexible with our schedules. Weller really seemed to get along with their dogs and I know she is looking forward to her next play date at their house. We will absolutely book Evelyn again! Thank you both so much!”
“I enlisted assistance of Bianca when I needed to board my pets over the holiday due to last minute work reassignment and Bianca made herself available on short notice. I also placed my babies in her daycare and she was more than helpful in rearranging her schedule to meet our needs.She has been more than kind, attentive and accommodating to my babies, Autumn and Pumpkin, from the moment they met. She took the time to bring her baby, Bb, to meet my pups I and ensured that everyone got along. She's focused on assuring me that my babies needs are met with contact continuously while they're in her care - with pictures videos and text updates. If you're looking for a dedicated, responsible, caring individual to care for your babies, then have found the one in Bianca. I am so grateful for the care she has provided my babies and will continue to enlist her help in the future.”
“Diane did an absolutely perfect job taking care of our Brittany cokie. Super sweet and caring and her little dog was a great companion to ours. They had a fantastic time together, and she loved every minute of it. We went back the next day, and our dog was wagging her tail and excited to go in. Thank you so much Diane for your great work! Michael.”
“Vivian is a repeat sitter for our dog Vini. Check ins are regular and our little nugget has many opportunities to socialize with other dogs while in her care. Vivian does a great job of vetting to ensure there is a harmonious pack which is greatly appreciated. She is experienced and a solid choice for a single or repeat booking.”

“Bella is wonderful. Not only is she great with my dog (and I'm sure everyone else's) she has her own dogs and cat....so she really understands how pet parents feel. The minute she met my dog, she came into my house, and started brushing him & rubbing his ears...you should have seen his FACE - He nearly fell asleep, lol. She definitely loves animals and she gets it. If she offered boarding/daycare, I'd totally trust her with my dog and I am VERY protective of my dog bc daycares in Riverdale allowed him to be attacked and harmed. She is careful and she actually cares.”
“Victor is always great with our boys. We booked a last minute walk and appreciated that Victor was available. He communicates really well and takes beautiful photos.”
“Abhilash always takes good care of my dog. I can tell she enjoys it a lot, and he also always takes pictures, and I really like seeing her enjoying the walk in the pictures!”
About: I have two senior dogs, and plenty of experience walking, feeding, and bathing dogs of all shapes and sizes! I also have a tortoise so I’m careful with animals and patient with gaining their trust. Just graduated college and work from home so my schedule is flexible. I also have access to a car so transportation shouldn’t be an issue. I like to gain the dogs trust before taking them out for a walk, so I would usually sit next to them let them come to me and reward them as they get more comfortable being around me either with treats or pets or playing with them.
“Grace was wonderful with our Jack Russell pup! She was so caring and attentive, and we felt completely confident knowing our pup was in the best hands. We highly recommend Grace and are so grateful for the wonderful care she provided. Thank you so much 🐾❤️”
About: I’ve been dog walking, dog & cat & small pet sitting since starting my own business in the 6th grade (2006). I have a dog of my own, and love spending time with animals. I have experience giving cats and dogs scheduled medication and have a lot of experience in animal care and behavior. I have trained my own dog since he was a puppy so have experience with guiding younger pups on walks and in play! On the opposite side of the spectrum I have also cared for my own elderly/senior dogs and cats and the healthcare that comes with it. I have a gentle approach and am lucky enough to usually be well received by animal pals :) I am also a photographer, and love doing pet portraits! I am working part-time with a rotating schedule so my availability will change week to week. I am happy to make things work for your schedule and love incorporating it into my weekly plans. I have a dog of my own and live on a busy street, so I’m used to being keyed in on where my pup (or a kitty) is at all times. I’ll confirm that gates are closed and always bring a pet outside on a leash first before letting them off leash to confirm that the yard is secure. Happy to confirm that windows or doors are locked whenever I’m wrapping up!

“Alyssa is great! She does really well with our energetic puppy who pulls and jumps. She is great at communicating and responds quickly. She is always looking out for Sadie’s safety and goes out of her way to remove ticks. Sadie comes back from her walks happy and tired!”
“Heather has been amazing with my Ollie! She always shares pics with me and keeps me up to date on how he’s eating! She’s punctual and responsible and Ollie is always happy and healthy as can be when I get home! Highly recommend Heather for all your dog walking needs!”

He was able to play in their big fenced in yard, play with the kids and even made friends with their hamster. it's nice to know I have an awesome sitter for my German Shepherd Dog. Milo enjoyed his stay. I would recommend Elizabeth and Oleg to anyone looking for nice family and home with fenced in yard. BTW BONUS house is right next to Glen Rock park/ Saddle River park”
“Stephanie was fantastic! Super easy to work with and was very communicative. She was kind enough to bathe our dog sunny after they went outside and had some tics. Sunny seemed to have a very good time and loved Stephanie 😊”
“Jessy did an amazing job and was so attentive to my cat and proactively shared daily messages, photos, videos to show how she was doing. My cat bonded with her quickly, which was such a relief, especially given can be reticent around new people. I’ve had such peace of mind and I’m so glad that my cat was so well taken care of. I will definitely use her again to watch my cat!”
