“Erika was amazing. She kept me posted all the time with pictures and she helped my boy with his anxiety of staying away from us. The peace of mind of finding someone we can trust our dog with its really the best.”
“Athena, watched my two pups for 5 days! She was great, she came to pick up and drop the pups. She sent me daily photos and updates of them! Very friendly and my pups spent a great time with her! I highly recommend!”
“This is my second time having my fur baby with Sue. It was a much longer visit this time (a week) amd Sue remained her kind communicative self. Would recommend in a heartbeat. She goes above and beyond. Thank you! 💕”
“Nicole and her family took wonderful care of our girls, Bailey and Ruby. Highly recommend her. She provided dailey pictures which showed the care our girls received. Will use her services whenever we go out of town.”
“Rachael was so good with Swift! He can be a little much, but she took him for lots of hikes and play time and he came home tired, happy, and better behaved. You can tell she loves what she does.”
“I could not be more pleased with the care that my italian greyhound, Zeus, received when in Annette's care for the first time over this weekend. Zeus warmed up to her immediately, which is unusual for him. I received multiple photos during his stay and he appeared very content and happy. What a feeling of comfort knowing he was with someone who provided the same level of care that I do, or very possibly better. A magnificent experience!”
“Saori took fantastic care of our large doodle Toby for two weeks while we were traveling. We received daily updates with pictures and videos, which was really great. Toby had so much fun and will be going back next time we travel. I highly recommend Saori to anyone who needs a skilled and kind person to care of their pet.”
“Rosemarie is so sweet, and warm, and clearly takes watching dogs seriously. She was careful to get to know Ollie's habits and routines. She sent lots of pictures of Ollie having fun and relaxing with her family. I would have no hesitation to have Rosmarie watch Ollie again. She is wonderful!!”
“Rich was incredibly kind and took great care of our pups. Booking was easy & everything went very well. Our dogs loved his property (lots of outdoor space!) and it was nice for them to get used to being around other dogs. Rich sent us photos of our dogs throughout their stay with him. They looked happy & content. Great experience 😊”
“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”
“I had a last minute request and Jomini responded almost immediately and saved the day. She asked questions to make sure my dog had the proper precautions to be outdoors at her place and checked with me about any specific schedule before drop off. She was super responsive and flexible with timing for drop off / pick up. She sent so many pictures of my dog and I could see he was having a great time!”
“Fabulous experience, my 2 Bernese Mountain Dogs LOVED< LOVED< LOVED Kyle! They didn't really want to leave, either! Kyle is the quintessential laid back dog lover....will definitely hire him again!”
“We are truly grateful to Lily for the loving care she gave to our little dog, Kodi. During Kodi's stay with Lily, she sent us daily pictures & videos of our pet. Clearly, he had a fantastic time with Lily & her lovely family. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness of her daily communications with us & all the care she gave to our little pet. Lily's an outstanding care taker.”
“Natasha and Hamir took such great care of Minnie! They are so sweet and clearly very knowledgeable about dogs and are “dog people.” My dog was instantly comfortable when she met them, which put me at ease. They really treated Minnie like their own and kept me updated while I was away. We will definitely be back. Thanks for everything!”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care you gave Cloud while we were away! You went above and beyond—keeping us updated the whole time and sending the sweetest pictures that truly put our mind at ease. It was clear he was in great hands. Til next time!”
About: I grew up with a loved dog and spent countless joyful hours caring for, playing with and training her. In addition to growing up with a dog, I had the pleasure of intermittently watching my neighbors’ dogs for the past four years and each experience has deepened my love for our furry friends. You can trust that your pets will receive abundant love and attention while you’re away. Having navigated my own dog’s seizures, I’m well-equipped to handle any situation and comfortable administering medication if needed. I can clean up after animals in any regard and am comfortable bathing them if necessary. Your pets will be in compassionate and capable hands. Pet care is something I look forward too every day. Each day, I will dedicate specific times for walks, play and feeding, ensuring that your pets’ needs are fully met. While I work a full-time job, I am ready to accommodate my schedule during the week. I’m available for dog walking or dog sitting or cat sitting after 5 PM on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays. On the weekends, I have even more flexibility, allowing for extended playtime and quality moments with your pets. I have no pets at home, creating a calm and comfortable environment for your pets. If it helps them feel more at ease, I can easily section off a room just for your dog or cat. I also have a long leash available, allowing for plenty of fun and exploration in a safe space. My goal is to provide a stress-free atmosphere for your pets. I’m more than happy to come to your home as well, ensuring they remain in a familiar setting that minimizes anxiety.
“Brittany was reliable and timely in communicating. Our fur babies had a good time with her and they came home feeling good. She was polite to interact with. We will be using her again if we need a sitter!”

“This was Hallie’s first time sitting for our cat and she was terrific with him! She communicated the whole weekend with updates and pictures, which we totally appreciated. It put me at ease. She was very respectful of our home and went above and beyond to leave it spotless when we got home! We have already booked Hallie again!”
“Rebecca is absolutely wonderful!! We never have to worry about our cat Pumpkin. She takes great care of him in addition to giving him kindness and love. Her pictures and messages add a personal touch that allows me to enjoy my time away knowing that he is doing fine.”

I’ve looked after pets and homes for friends and neighbors and ensured a safe and happy experience for everyone involved while the family was away! I’ve always had pet siblings growing up, and am the proud mama to a 6-year old hound/ pit mix named Chewy!

About: I currently have two long-haired domestic cats that my family and I adopted four years ago. But my cat mom life began 27 years ago when my parents brought home a kitten. He lived a healthy, active life for 15 years before he developed feline diabetes. For the last two years of his life, he received daily injections, so I am familiar with giving cats injections. Maintaining access to clean water, quality food and snacks, and a clean litter is paramount to a long healthy life for cats. I am ready and more than able to make sure your cat has access to these things while you are away.
“We can always count on Maria to take care of our 2 cats while we’re away. This is our third time with her and we trust her completely, she has done an amazing job every time! A bonus is she sends the best pictures of your pets while you’re away - which we really appreciate since we miss them so much! Thank you Maria!”
“Briana and her family are the best! Our cat is getting older and less comfortable with transitions. Briana and her lovely son gave him patience and love until he completely opened up and joined their family for two weeks. As they were getting him comfortable they asked about his favorite treats and immediately went out and bought some. They even sent him home with a new toy! Would recommend 100%.”
“Meghan did an amazing job checking in on our cat while we were away! She was professional, kept our house clean, and most importantly, our cat was happy and comfortable. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pet was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Nicole. She took care of my 3 cats while away for 1 week. She made sure they were all fed and well cared for- sending me video updates. By accident my cleaning lady let them out but Nicole made sure they all came safely home. When I arrived home the place was spotless.”
“Chloe was great at caring for Wilbur and Mesu! Mesu being the "old man", has also been very apprehensive of strangers. I swore Chloe wouldn't even get the chance to meet him. Yet, he came out t9lo greet her and even allowed for scratches! Chloe always showed up on time, and went above to make sure both cats were comfortable.”
About: Ive lived with cats ever since I remember, around 2022 I begun caring for a disabled cat, Nippet, who's jaw was broken and permanently deformed. I had to make a special blend of food she could eat, bathe her multiple times a month and feed her medicine as needed. I'm personally cats over dogs kind of gal and I understand cats have boundaries and their own set of needs. I am more then happy to fulfill any kitty needs
About: I have had dogs, cats, puppies in my life since I was born. I have had the pleasure of training all types of dogs in many different areas. When I was younger my family used to always take trips up to Marthas Vineyard, we always had to leave our dogs at a kennel which we realized later on was not the best thing to do for our dogs. Emotionally/mentally we could tell it had taken a toll on them, so we started leaving them home with Pet Sitters. That was the best decision we had made. I want to be able to provide the same love and care that our pet sitters have provided in the past, but for your pet! Im currently working privately as a Personal Trainer and a Hypnotherapist Practitioner so my schedule is quite flexible. I also offer Reiki for both people and pets (Dogs, Cats, Horses)!!! I don’t typically board pets but would be willing to work with someone if the situation was right. I am also willing and able to crate your pet if thats something you do in your home!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats of all personalities—from calm and cuddly to independent and a little feisty. At home, I care for my own sweet and feisty kitty, Zelda, so I’m very familiar with the balance of patience, playfulness, and respecting a cat’s unique mood and boundaries. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, litter care, playtime, and making sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“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!”

“Rich was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. This is coming from a dog mom who was very nervous about leaving her baby. This is the first time for our Romeo and Rich absolutely and completely understood my concern. We had a meet and greet and Rich and Romeo bonded from the very beginning. Romeo spent the day with Rich yesterday and from the photos and videos sent, Romeo had a blast! He did not want to leave. I highly recommend Rich and I am DEFINITELY using him from this point forward. Rich, see you TOMORROW! Thank you for easing me. Knowing Romeo is in good hands is a huge relief.”
“Briana was amazing! We came from California to NY and was our first time traveling with Miklo. It was a great experience! I would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a good pet nanny in the Patterson area, she was super sweet and very communicative and from the looks of it my pup looked like he had the best time!! It was my first time using Rover, but thanks to this experience I’m looking forward to booking again! Thanks Briana!! <3”
“Wanda welcomes my pups warmly each time. They really enjoy all the play time including with her super sweet pup. No matter how much energy they come with she always tires them out. She has made them feel comfortable. They anxiously jump out of the car to greet her each time. We are really happy and will continue to use Wanda.”
“Highly recommend! My baby was well taken care of! Tinaclem was super friendly. When we arrived she introduced her dog with mine and brought them both to the back yard so she can get familiar with the yard and was very welcoming!

I have experience watching and caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and basic grooming.

“Melissa is extremely good with all animals and I would highly recommend her! Years ago when one of my german shepherds had a behavior issue we asked Melissa to work with us and the trainer to help correct the problem. Melissa understood what the trainer was doing and helped us to learn how to work with our dog. She has also fed, walked, and administered meds to our dogs while we were on vacation. Melissa is very reliable, knowledgeable about animals and extremely good with them. I trust her with all my animals care!”
“Jess was lovely with my dog. I have a German Shepherd and I’m always a bit worried with strangers. Jess came to my house to meet my dog beforehand to make sure they were a good fit which made me feel so much more at ease. Jess even sent me pictures of their walks! She was very accommodating with my instructions and I’m so grateful for her service.”

About: I have cared for rabbits, cats, and dogs over the course of my life. I grew up with a rescued kitten who lived a healthy, active life for 15 years before he developed feline diabetes. For two years, we gave him daily injections to maintain his health as best we could. When I began life outside of my childhood home, I adopted a lion head rabbit that lived long enough to become my children’s first pet. While I was living in Queens, New York, I spent a year dog walking and pet sitting around Astoria and Long Island City. My responsibilities included individual and group dog walks, in-home care for elderly and special needs dogs and cats, cat care, litter box/wee wee pad changing, and feeding. I am currently a stay at home mom and freelance writer, so my schedule is very flexible between the hours of 8am and 3pm while my children are at school. As a cat mom, I understand how important safety is when it comes to animal care. From the moment I walk into the house, keeping your pet safe is my priority. During my time with your pet, I will do my due diligence to make sure your pet is safe and happy from harnessing and leashing, through the walk, and finally my departure. I know the importance of staying alert on walks, constantly taking in the environment for any potential dangers from other animals, people, and vehicles.
About: If you’re looking for someone to just drop a bowl of kibble and scroll on their phone, I’m probably not your person. But if you want someone who will treat your pet like a misunderstood genius or a retired diplomat, we’re going to get along great! I work for the MTA as a train operator in the city, but on my days off I love taking my corgi Zuko on long walks and playing in our yard. I've had dogs and cats since I was young, and have a special affinity for all animals. If you want your fur baby treated like the king or queen they know they are while you're away, look no further! I am currently off Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays so I will have the full 24 hours of those days to walk, play, entertain, and care for your pets. I have a large unfenced yard on a very quiet street off the main road. I also have a extremely friendly and energetic corgi named Zuko who will assuredly be your pets new best friend. There will be tons of playing, running, fetch and more to ensure your pet has the best experience staying at their home away from home.

About: Ive had multiple pets as long as ive been alive both cats and dogs! In high school I volunteered with a small dog adoption center in New Hampshire called Mary's dogs, where I worked with older dogs and puppy's in need of homes.

My preferred bookings is after 10am but I absolutely can make exceptions! I currently live with 2 dogs, a Labrador retriever and a Golden retriever, as well as 2 cats. I feed them all twice daily as well as keep multiple sources of water available around the house. I will be flexible and feed your animals with whatever schedule you give me!
About: I’ve grown up with large-breed dogs, especially Labs, and have cared for two or more cats at a time. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for over five years to walk, feed, and bathe their pets—including large dogs and bigger cat breeds. I’m comfortable handling active dogs, giving them plenty of exercise, and providing calm, loving care for all animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule is part-time and flexible, and I’m happy to work with most schedules. This allows me to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I create a safe, loving environment in my own home and will be sure to do the same in yours. I follow your pet’s routines, ensure they’re comfortable, and keep them supervised during walks or playtime. Whether it’s making sure they get enough exercise, providing calm companionship, or keeping their space clean and cozy, I always put their well-being first.
“Leilani had a great time with Kevin. They went for nice long walks and she was very comfortable with him. Kevin was very communicative about their time together and even sent pics of my furbaby. Would highly recommend!”
About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life. Growing up, I cared for many cats and dogs. I don’t have any animals at the moment. However, I did care for my cat, Susan, and Siberian Husky, Luke, for 15+ years before they both crossed the rainbow bridge in 2019. I know the tender, loving care that’s required to take in an animal and I’m sensitive to the fact that these kittens & pups are your babies! Each dog/cat/pet has a different personality and set of needs based on their breed or lifestyle and I’m prepared to take on any challenge. I’ve had prior experience home/dog/cat sitting and my schedule is pretty flexible. My phone is on hand at all times and I’m more than willing to send you pics throughout our time together! Currently, I have a flexible schedule and am looking to care for cats and pups to fill my days with more furry friends. 🐱 🐶 When I had pets at home, I would care for them by taking them on walks and playing their favorite games. I installed an electric fence for my dog so he could run around and enjoy the outdoors when I couldn’t walk him.
About: What sets me apart is deep, hands-on rescue experience. I’m a board member at an animal rescue and a Humane World for Animals Trailblazer Award recipient. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, special-needs animals, cats of all ages, and other small animals. I’m comfortable administering medications, maintaining feeding and litter routines, providing exercise and enrichment, and helping anxious pets feel calm, safe, and secure in new environments. I’m a recent University of Miami graduate with a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, and extended care, and I plan my daily routine around pets’ feeding, exercise, and comfort needs. I’ll be returning to school in the fall, but I’ll continue to maintain consistent availability and clear communication so pet parents always know what to expect. I follow each pet’s routine closely and prioritize safety, calm environments, and clear communication. I monitor behavior and health, respect household rules, and provide regular updates so pet parents feel confident and informed.

“Erika was amazing. She kept me posted all the time with pictures and she helped my boy with his anxiety of staying away from us. The peace of mind of finding someone we can trust our dog with its really the best.”
“Athena, watched my two pups for 5 days! She was great, she came to pick up and drop the pups. She sent me daily photos and updates of them! Very friendly and my pups spent a great time with her! I highly recommend!”
“This is my second time having my fur baby with Sue. It was a much longer visit this time (a week) amd Sue remained her kind communicative self. Would recommend in a heartbeat. She goes above and beyond. Thank you! 💕”
“Nicole and her family took wonderful care of our girls, Bailey and Ruby. Highly recommend her. She provided dailey pictures which showed the care our girls received. Will use her services whenever we go out of town.”
“Rachael was so good with Swift! He can be a little much, but she took him for lots of hikes and play time and he came home tired, happy, and better behaved. You can tell she loves what she does.”
“Saori took fantastic care of our large doodle Toby for two weeks while we were traveling. We received daily updates with pictures and videos, which was really great. Toby had so much fun and will be going back next time we travel. I highly recommend Saori to anyone who needs a skilled and kind person to care of their pet.”
“Rich was incredibly kind and took great care of our pups. Booking was easy & everything went very well. Our dogs loved his property (lots of outdoor space!) and it was nice for them to get used to being around other dogs. Rich sent us photos of our dogs throughout their stay with him. They looked happy & content. Great experience 😊”
“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”
“Fabulous experience, my 2 Bernese Mountain Dogs LOVED< LOVED< LOVED Kyle! They didn't really want to leave, either! Kyle is the quintessential laid back dog lover....will definitely hire him again!”
“Natasha and Hamir took such great care of Minnie! They are so sweet and clearly very knowledgeable about dogs and are “dog people.” My dog was instantly comfortable when she met them, which put me at ease. They really treated Minnie like their own and kept me updated while I was away. We will definitely be back. Thanks for everything!”
“Brittany was reliable and timely in communicating. Our fur babies had a good time with her and they came home feeling good. She was polite to interact with. We will be using her again if we need a sitter!”
“Katharine is wonderful! We love the constant updates and pictures throughout the day letting us know how happy our dog is with her! She’s always so accommodating and Alfie cannot wait to stay again.”
“I cannot recommend Stephen enough. He took amazing care of our Buddy while we were away. He communicated and sent us videos and updates every day. He was cautious when introducing Buddy to the other dogs in his care and we had a meet and greet prior to the stay which I appreciate, he goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in his care are compatible to keep all dogs safe. I look forward to using him in the future and I know Buddy will too. You can see that dogs in Stephens care are treated as his own and that is so comforting when leaving your dog in his care.”
“I cannot express how pleased I was with the level of care and love my boys received from Candice. She treated them like her own. Her home was spotless. They were loved and cared for just like I care for them. She updated me numerous times a day because she knew that is what I needed to feel comfortable, she sent pictures and videos. If there were 10 stars that is the rating I would give her. Highly recommend!!!!”
“I had an exceptional experience. Mildred was so kind and responsive to all my inquiries. I was a little nervous leaving my Max since he's only been with my daughter and I for a few months. but he was well taken care of! I will definitely recommend Mildred for boarding services, and I will be definitely using her in the future. Thanks again Mildred :-)”
“Kathryn is probably the best Rover sitter we’ve had (and we’ve used some lovely sitters). Our dogs are anxious when they’re left, and Kathryn really helped them feel at ease - her fenced yard was perfect and they just seemed to trust her. I’d highly recommend booking your pet’s stay with her!”
“Very nice experience with Anner. We did a pre-boarding meet and greet with my dog which went well and then a one night boarding. The house has a fenced yard which is safe when letting dogs out. House is very clean and dogs feel at home. There was even another dog there at the same time so they kept each other company.”
