“Mamdouh and his family are amazing! I have used them twice so far and fully trust them with my dog. They send photos and videos daily, which reassures me my dog is having a blast!”
“Michele was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the start, she was communicative, attentive, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her kids were completely in love with Arepa, and it was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. Michele truly treated him like her own. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter. Thank you so much, Michele!”
“Janine was amazing!!! She took such great care of my Mia when I went out of town. She sent me pictures everyday and messaged me with updates. I HIGHLY recommend her and Mia looks forward to staying with her again!”
“Nilka is a treasure. She is extremely loving to animals, showers them with attention and walks and very communicative, sending photos and updates. Boarding with Nilka is a vacation for your pooch. Highly recommended! I will use her every time she's available.”
“This was first time boarding my dog and it was a great experience. Narly made us comfortable and made this is very easy experience. She sent me pics of my dog eating and playing daily and that really put my mind at ease. There was great communication and I appreciate her for that. I highly recommend Narly to take care of your pooch.”
“Amazing experience, Vanessa is great, my babies were taken care of as if they were part of her family. Vanessa is so loving and really payed attention to every detail. Will always recommend 100 %. Trixi (Dog) and Ash (Cat) had a amazing time.”
“Wonderful job! Thank you Shushma. She did extra work for our dog like walked him, updated us from time to time by sending us videos and photos of our dog. Also she was so accommodating when we told her we can only pick up the dog at a later time. She has other dogs too so our dog really had fun on his stay at Shushma’s house. Definitely on our next vacation, we will leave our dog to her again 😀”
“From the start Wendy was so easy to work with for scheduling and quick to respond. She sent photos and check-ins throughout, which were really nice. Would definitely book again and recommend boarding with Wendy.”
“Michelle was a Godsend!!! I was referred to her for a last minute dog sitter. The moment I met her I knew she truly loves dogs. Michelle put my mind at ease and I knew Rocki would be in excellent hands. Rocki is normally standoffish and LOVED her immediately after meeting her. She sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the night. Rocki is very scared of thunderstorms and she petted her throughout the night to keep her calm. I will definitely use her again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!”
“Kierra went above and beyond to make us feel safe leaving a hope alone with a Rover for the first time. She communicated effectively during every visit, took excellent photos, and took time to really provide Hope with the care and love we wanted. She played and sang to Hope, as well as kept her food and water clean and full. We told her she didn’t need to do the litter every day, but she did anyway. Kierra was respectful of the apartment complex and timely with returning our key. Heart of gold and a friend of animals indeed. She even helped us with extending booking (when we messed up 5 times), We couldn’t have had a better experience or human to take care of Hope (who is a rescue cat but had no issues warming up to kierra)”
“This was Charlie 1st time being away from us. Grace welcomed him into her home abd made him feel comfortable. We were sent photos of Charlie during his stay. Grace was very responsive. Charlie enjoyed his stay and made some new friends. We would use Grace again.”
“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”
“Pamela is amazing. She took such good care of Quinn I didn’t worry a second about how he was doing. She sent us so many pictures and videos of him having so much fun. She definitely treats every dog she cares for like her own.”
“The best sitter to book with! Xiaoying and her family are excellent and truly the sweetest! I had an overnight cat sitting service with them for a 7 nights and they sent me daily photos and videos and made sure to keep me updated! They also brought so many toys, a cat tree, and cat hideaway spots for my cat. My cat Lucki didn’t want to leave he really liked it there and it’s like his second home now😊 will definitely be rebooking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter or boarding service! ❤️”
“Stephanie is a lifesaver! We have a very anxious non socialized 13 year old terrier. We have struggled for many years to have anyone watch him. We did a trial night with Stephanie and I’m beyond grateful that she even took him on. He is not easy and she was amazing! I would recommend her 100 times over!”
“Just a note of thanks to Carla and her family for taking such good care of our Clover. We really miss her when we go away and Carla sent daily pictures and notes to keep us informed. We had peace of mind that our fur child was happy and not missing us one bit while we were going be. Thanks again. We look forward to booking with you in the future.”

“We are so happy with Juliana’s services. We felt safe and comfortable at all times. She took the greatest of care of all of our cats. We travel often and will absolutely thrilled to have Juliana watch over our babies again. Thank you!”
“Lisa went above and beyond in caring for our cat Zorina, she spent time with her during her visits and played around with her all while making sure her food and litter were taken care of. Lisa always provided very detailed responses about each and every visit, which let us know so much about how our cat Zorina was doing while under her care. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and would certainly use her again in the future for any time we may be going away. Excellent sitter!”
“Karla was great and we can't thank her enough for taking great care of our cats on short notice. The cats are usually extremely shy around new people and will hide when they come in to the house. But they warmed up to Karla quickly and we got lots of pictures of happy cats being played with and entertained. A+++”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was my first time working with Kristin, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! 🐱💙🐱💕 From the moment I met her, she had such a gentle, kind demeanor that I immediately felt comfortable trusting her with my two cats, Oreo and Nala. She even started taking notes during our meet-and-greet, which I truly appreciated. Even though I already had detailed written instructions, it showed me that she was prepared, proactive, and genuinely wanted to make sure everything was done perfectly. 📝✨ Kristin followed every instruction carefully and thoroughly, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. The biggest surprise of all was my super shy girl, Nala. She normally takes quite a while to warm up to new people, but by just the second visit she was already out and about hanging out with Kristin! 🥹💕 That is a huge deal and really speaks to how patient, calm, and caring she is with animals. Knowing that Oreo and Nala were comfortable, happy, and so well cared for made my trip so much more enjoyable. This was such a wonderful first experience that I’ve already booked future visits with Kristin! 🐾❤️ I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, attentive pet sitter. Thank you again for taking such amazing care of my babies! 🥰”
“Victoria did an amazing job! Really appreciate her helping us out last minute with checking on our cats and fish. She even helped with putting our trash out on trash day. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first booking with Patricia and we're really happy with how everything went. She's exactly what we were looking for in a cat sitter and we will definitely be booking her again in the future. She handled everything we asked for and then some. It was a relief to know that our cats were being well looked after twice a day. We also really appreciated the updates and pictures she sent after her visits. Highly recommended!”

About: I have been a in-home pet sitter for the past six years for a medium size dog who had special needs as a puppy. I also am a pet photographer and have done pet portraits and holiday cards! I recently lost my beloved dog Zoey, who I had for over 12 years. I love dogs deeply, and welcome them into my home. I am available on a part time basis with more availability during the summer months. Weekends are ideal but I can be available after 5pm on weekdays or early morning. I live in a pet friendly apartment building, in a dog friendly neighborhood! My apartment is in the smaller side but dog and cat safe!
About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Jane. I’ve been caring for dogs in their own homes for 10 years and I can honestly say, I love what I do. There’s something really special about a dog who barely notices their owner left because they’re too busy having a good time. I enjoy leaving clients to wonder if I even stayed — everything is just as they left it, with one exception: a happier pet. I specialize in walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting, all in the comfort of your pet’s own home. I learn their routine, respect their quirks, and treat your space the way I’d want someone to treat mine. You’ll hear from me regularly with updates, photos, and videos of your dear girl or sweet boi. If you like the mundane, you’ll hear from us — me and your dog (or cat, or gerbil, or boa python — we’re all inclusive here). If you’d love to see the reasons strangers fall for your sweet girlie or darling boi, you’ll definitely hear from me while your loved one is in my care. Once you reach out, I’ll schedule a complimentary meet and greet to make sure me and your special four-legged loved one are a good match. Spoiler: we usually are. 🐾 🐾 Providing care for your loved one is built into my week, not mushed into it. Available weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. 🐾 🐾 This is where the complimentary meet and greet pays off for you. Because we’ve spoken ahead of time, it’s even easier for me to keep your pet on their usual routine, respect your home, and stay in consistent communication so you always know your dog is doing well. There are legends abound of me leaving my client’s place a little cleaner than I found it too. 🐾
“I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the wonderful care Anna provided for Ramsey while we were away. Her daily photos and updates truly reassured us that she was happy and comfortable in your care. It was clear to see how much she enjoyed spending time with you! Your kindness and attention to detail made all the difference, and I can't thank you enough for being such a fantastic sitter. We highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets! Thank you once again for everything!”
About: Cats are one of the most misunderstood creatures. Independent? Sure. Mysterious? Absolutely. But pound for pound, they are as loving, loyal, and protective as any dog. They just make you earn it first…and honestly, fair enough. My appreciation for cats came later in life, after finally outgrowing a stubborn allergy. I've since made up for it with time as a shelter volunteer and the go-to sitter for the cat people in my life. (And I never walk into a corner store without checking for the resident kitty 🐈) Whether I'm being honored with headbutts from my dad's cat Sweetie, surviving the bunny kicks of my cat nephew Loki, or mastering the art of multi-cat household diplomacy for my friend's trio, one thing stays the same: Every cat gets treated like the enigmatic little royalty they are.

“We used Andrew to dog sit our 7 month old St. Berdoodle puppy Stewart, and our daughters 3 year old Old English Sheepdog, Oswald, while we hosted an enngagement party at our home. Everything was wonderful. Andrew was very accomodating and we met prior to the day to check out the house and have Stewart meet Andrew. The dogs were well cared for and happy when they returned home. We will definitely use Andrew again in the future!! Thank you Andrew!!!”
“Peggy was great! Easy to work with, flexible, and really cared about our dog. We were traveling through her area and she walked Maple both right when we arrived after a 3 hour car drive and right before we picked up Maple with another leg of travel ahead of us- I think she really thought about the fact our dog had been traveling and would need a good long walk ♥️”

“Juliana is wonderful ! We haven’t walked Dewy the last 2 days and totally forgot about the weather. I confirmed with Juliana then my husband reminded me it’s going to rain. She still came and took my boy to the dog park. The rain wouldn’t stop so I ask her to bring him back if the rain keeps on going. We can’t wait to see Juliana again in a nicer weather.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who enjoys spending quality time with pups of all sizes—though I do have a soft spot for the little ones! Long walks while listening to music and bonding with dogs is one of my favorite things to do. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, which is why I take a gentle, kind-hearted approach—using soft touches, a calm voice, and plenty of patience to build trust and connection. Whether it's playtime, cuddle time, or a peaceful stroll, I'm here to make your pup feel right at home. I am currently working full-time, so I can only provide care on weekends. I am a teacher, so once the summer hits on June 28th I can care for pets all hours of the day! Safety and trust are always my top priorities—whether your dog is staying with me or I’m visiting them in their own home. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and needs so they feel at ease from the start. I create a calm, cozy environment by using soft tones, gentle touches, and lots of positive reinforcement. In my home, I make sure the space is safe, clean, and dog-friendly, with plenty of room to relax, play, or nap. I follow any feeding, medication, or exercise routines you provide to keep things consistent and comfortable. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I give my own—keeping things tidy, sticking to your pup’s routine, and making sure they feel safe in their familiar surroundings.

With a lot of love and as if they were my own. I have a yard but mainly love going on walks or hikes (depending on the dog). I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule and I don’t ever leave a pet alone more than 3 hrs at most I care for them as I do my own. My husband and I are usually home and if possible (depending on the furbaby) we always include the pups in any outdoor errand/activity
“Karla did an amazing job walking my dog, Jr. She brought along her dog, Woody, and the two dogs had a fantastic time together. It was clear that Karla is caring, attentive, and great with dogs. Jr came home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed after a fun and engaging walk. I really appreciated the extra socialization and companionship Woody provided. I highly recommend Karla to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog walker!”
“Jane was not only wonderful with our dogs, but proved extremely reliable during an extended weekend where we were out of town and all of our discussed plans were disrupted by the unforeseen—storms, road closures, etc. She provided clear and timely communication in dealing with changes, and we quickly felt comfortable trusting her best judgment to both attend to and care for our two dogs.”

Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.

“Janine was amazing!!! She took such great care of my Mia when I went out of town. She sent me pictures everyday and messaged me with updates. I HIGHLY recommend her and Mia looks forward to staying with her again!”
“Amazing experience, Vanessa is great, my babies were taken care of as if they were part of her family. Vanessa is so loving and really payed attention to every detail. Will always recommend 100 %. Trixi (Dog) and Ash (Cat) had a amazing time.”
“Kierra went above and beyond to make us feel safe leaving a hope alone with a Rover for the first time. She communicated effectively during every visit, took excellent photos, and took time to really provide Hope with the care and love we wanted. She played and sang to Hope, as well as kept her food and water clean and full. We told her she didn’t need to do the litter every day, but she did anyway. Kierra was respectful of the apartment complex and timely with returning our key. Heart of gold and a friend of animals indeed. She even helped us with extending booking (when we messed up 5 times), We couldn’t have had a better experience or human to take care of Hope (who is a rescue cat but had no issues warming up to kierra)”
“Stephanie is a lifesaver! We have a very anxious non socialized 13 year old terrier. We have struggled for many years to have anyone watch him. We did a trial night with Stephanie and I’m beyond grateful that she even took him on. He is not easy and she was amazing! I would recommend her 100 times over!”
“Just a note of thanks to Carla and her family for taking such good care of our Clover. We really miss her when we go away and Carla sent daily pictures and notes to keep us informed. We had peace of mind that our fur child was happy and not missing us one bit while we were going be. Thanks again. We look forward to booking with you in the future.”
“This is our second time leaving our dog with Ingrid. She continues to maintain her well earned 5 star status and took amazing care of Dexter. I was amazed that Dex remembered her house as soon as we reached her block. He marched into Ingrid's home like he lived there! Ingrid was able to accommodate our needs on very short notice and I appreciate her for that. I will definitely return again!”
“Karina took great care of my Archie while we were on vacation for 10 days. She kept in touch and sent pictures/videos frequently. Archie came back acting totally normal like we never left. Highly recommend Karina for your fur babies!”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for the last 15 years, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including seniors, and I provide a safe, comfortable home with a fully fenced yard, plenty of attention, and lots of love. My goal is to make your dog feel right at home while you're away. Pet care is built into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, so dogs get consistent potty breaks, meals, playtime, and supervision in a safe, fenced yard. I care for pets in a calm, safe home environment and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and rest. Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard and are supervised throughout the day. I adjust care based on each dog’s needs and any instructions provided by the owner.
“Tanu and her family are amazing! I have an older dog and she treated him so very kindly. I received photos and updates as to how his stay was going. I would highly recommend Tanu and without hesitation use her again.”
“Alex was amazing with our 3 year old lab Ruby! He kept us in the loop with updates and pics, which gave us such peace of mind. Thanks to his care and attention, we enjoyed a long weekend without worry. As a professional trainer, Alex also helped work on some bad habits like counter surfing — huge plus! She returned happy and calm! Wonderful experience and would highly recommend!”
“We loved Vanessa, Storm and family! She was quick to respond, Sent plenty of pictures and videos and was very accommodating. Chance had such a good time, to the point we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home. We will gladly use Vanessa again!”
“Cannot say enough great things about Sam and her family. You can truly tell they love animals and took care of my dog like he was their own. She kept me updated and send me pictures for the week I was away. My dog truly did not want to leave when I went to pick him up. I know he cannot wait to go back!”
About: I believe that pets need individualized attention and needs. I ensure that senior pets receive the gentle care and attention they need, whether it's administering medication or simply providing companionship. I'm also attentive to each pet's individual needs and personalities, which helps create a comfortable and loving environment for them. This combination of skills allows me to cater to a wide range of pets and ensure they feel secure and happy while in my care. If you have any specific questions or would like to know more, feel free to ask. I am currently doing this full time so your pet will have my undivided attention. I will be able to take them for walks, play in my enclosed backyard and make sure all theirs needs are taken cared of. I have a fenced in yard. I have an entire home where your pet will be able to roam freely around and find there spot!
“Was wonderful about updating us and sending photos while we were gone! Alfred and Rex looked like they got a good amount of time outside playing under supervision, were so thankful for Michael! He even monitored an injured claw for us that seemed to heal wonderfully. We were gone for two weeks and this was convenient for flying out of JFK if that’s part of your plans.”
“We had great communication with Shirley throughout the entire process. We did a meet and greet before the stay, and she asked thoughtful questions beforehand to really get to know our dog. During the stay, she shared lots of photos and videos, which we truly appreciated. She was also very flexible and accommodating when we had to change our plans due to the snowstorm. Highly recommend!”
“I’m so happy I made the right choice and left my angel with Sam! She sent constant updates with pictures while we were on our vacation. My dog was very happy in each photo and was well taken care of. She even made sure she got her ear medication every day which was important. She got plenty of walks everyday and lots of playtime. I appreciate her dedication to making sure she feels at home. Zula blended in with her family seamlessly. I HIGHLY recommend Sam😊.”
“Katherine was amazing, she took great care of my two small dogs and gave updates and was very accommodating when my flight was delayed and was able to extend my service. I would highly recommend her!!!”
