It was also obvious that Archie truly enjoyed staying with her. I highly recommend Melanie — and I know Archie gives her two paws up!”

“10/10 must recommend!! Lourdes is the best sitter for Mason & he is so happy to be around her and family. Lourdes also communicates and sends pics throughout the day, which I really appreciate. During Mason’s first visit, I was a bit nervous because he was not feeling well. However, Lourdes was very attentive to Mason’s needs, gave his medications to make him feel comfortable, and came back to his normal self when picking him up ❤️ this is eased my worries and I will be sure to book his 3rd visit again😊😊”

I was worried that he would stay restless, but I was totally wrong! Anton sent me photos and updates, which made me feel safe asking more of his service again. Reiki was able to calm down within hours under his care, and very much enjoyed spending time with him 😄.”
“Ellana was a life savor! She was able to take Mae on short notice and provided her a dog vacation. I had not used rover before and was nervous to leave my dog with someone I did not have time to meet in person prior. Luckily Ellana was able to FaceTime and her responsive and transparent communication made me feel comfortable. She then sent me photos everyday. I will be using her again.”

“Mariliz is absolutely amazing! From the moment I met her, I knew my dogs were in great hands. She made the entire processs easy, from drop off to pick up, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. What really sets Mariliz apart is her communication. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which allowed me to relax knowing my dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Finding someone you trust with your pets is priceless, and I couldn’t recommend Mariliz more highly. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter, look no further. Your fur babies will be in the best hands possible! Thank you, Mariliz, for taking such wonderful care of my dogs. I will be using your services again and recommending you to others.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have my own mini dachshund who just turned 5! He loves to play with other dogs and would keep yours company throughout the day. I work from home so am able to care for your dog all day. I take my dog out to go potty 3-4 times throughout the day so your dog will get the same love and attention!

About: Emily rescued her Chiweenie “Little One” 4 years ago, who lives at home with her mom in Georgia. Littles has stayed with us in our NYC apartment for months at a time, though. All three of us have raised puppies from weeks old and been around elderly pups as well. We can work from home so there will always be one of us home during the day. The apartment is never totally empty unless we go out for a meal (2-4 hours a time). We are active and love going on runs and walks! We have a back patio which can have a pee pad. Else we are on the first floor of a walk up, with a park 2 blocks away. We love going on walks, short or long, with the pets. Our apartment has windows and space for it to not be too crowded (note: we are moving to FiDi end of the month, but can watch dogs there in an elevator building)
“Georgia had a great day with Stella! Stella was so thoughtful and planned a fun outing to the park for Georgia even on a cold day and they got in some great cuddle time, too! She made herself right at home and looked very happy :)”

“Siddhi was a great person to take care of my dog! She met up the day before to go over all the instructions, gave regular updates, and even gave me some tips how to walk my own dog. Kaisa is 60 lbs so I was worried about her pulling too much on the walk but Siddhi is very familiar with all types of dogs and this was no problem for her. Great service overall!”
About: Full-time dog walker and devoted animal lover offering the best of my humanity to the service of our dearest friends the pets. I capture priceless daily updates and insights of my services and input (videos of every walk and portraits of every pet) and I send them to you after each walk. I work full-time as an animal caregiver with deep intention and purpose giving my all for the cause. I will get anywhere I am needed, anytime; scheduling ahead is most ideal to organize other walks around the city, but I can also do last minute things if I am allowed a 90 minutes window to make it in case I am in a different area. It is well known that my care for animals transcends feeding them and giving them water; I make sure that every walk is an opportunity to build and/or maintain positive behavioral patterns while addressing any “undesirable” patterns that could be exhibited with patience, understanding and the right amount of love… at the end of the day, it gives me unmeasurable pleasure to see animals safe, content and relaxed.
“Highly recommend Sarah! She watched Winston for a week and was wonderful. She kept me updated, followed all instructions perfectly, and took great care of him.”
“Adam was extremely responsive, timely, and thoughtful. He was able to accommodate walks with our dog and did an excellent job with pictures and making our dog feel comfortable. Thanks Adam!”
“Nikki and Chris are simply the best! They are easy to work with, flexible, always on time and provide plenty of cute pictures and updates of our pup on their walk. It gives us a lot of reassurance knowing we can trust them with our pup and providing him fun walks, he looks forward to it every time! We really couldn’t think of someone better to take care of him”
About: I’ve had dogs—big and small—my entire life, and I genuinely treat every dog I meet like one of my own. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and everything in between. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just quiet company, I adjust to each dog’s unique needs. I also have experience with multi-dog households and understand how to keep the peace and the tail wags going! I currently work full time, but I have flexibility built in. I work from home three days a week and am in the office the other two, so I can plan ahead to be home when needed. Weekends are typically wide open for me, making them ideal for pet sitting, walking, or just spending extra quality time with your pup! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I aim to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding, walk, and playtime schedules closely and make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and exercise. I’m respectful of your space, tidy, and always keep safety a top priority. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, happy, and at home—wherever they are.
“Onyx is always reliable, communicative, and responsible. I have trusted her to walk my dog Lucy every day and she has never missed a day without advanced notice. She always keeps me updated and pays close attention to any changes in behavior. I always felt that Lucy was safe and I didn't have to worry about her while I was at work. Unfortunately we are moving away or I would continue to use her service. I could not recommend her more!”
