“Sabrina took wonderful care of my dog. I had to book the boarding last minite, but Sabrina was very accommodating. She responded to my messages quickly and also kept sending me photos of how my dog was doing which gave me peace of mind. When I was picking him up, Sabrina explained in detail how he ate, slept, walked and behaved during the stay. This proved to me that Sabrina paid a lot of attention to my dog. Most dog sitters in my experience didn't share this much detail. I highly recommend Sabrina!”
“Ryan was the best. He was flexible and took care of my girl like his own. He took her out for walks and sent updates and photos. I felt safe leaving her with Ryan. Will definitely book him again!”
“Euitae was great with my puppy! Communicated with me well throughout the time, sent photos and videos. I felt comfortable leaving her with a new boarder and would work with Euitae again!”
“John was great - Extremely responsive and kept me updated while my dog Ollie stayed with him. I gave so many instructions because Ollie has separation anxiety and John took them all very well. When I got Ollie back he was so calm and relaxed because John took such good care of him!”
“Bridget was great. Took excellent care of Bella. We were very nervous and worried, but things worked out great. Process was smooth and no complaints.”
“Lal, Matt & Hank were great! My doggy boys stayed with them for a week while we were travelling out of state and they looked like they were having a nice little doggy vacation themselves with their new found friends. Lal would keep us updated with how our boys were doing by also posting pictures and videos along with the texts and e-mails. Lal really took the time to get to know the boys well specially during their meet and greet. Plus the fact that their LabraDoodle, Hank got along very well with the boys made me really feel at ease. I would definitely pick them again for our upcoming travels. So happy to know that my doggy boys were in good hands while we were away. Highly recommended.”
“Wei Han was wonderful! My pup had such a great time and she even gave her a t-shirt to go home in. I could really enjoy my vacation knowing Sadie was in good hands. I would definitely use her again!”
“Anton was very kind and accommodating of my anxious dog. It was the very first boarding experience for my dog, Reiki, and he was very nervous when we arrived at Anton's place. 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 😄.”
“Heather was an absolute delight to work with! Quick, clear, and helpful. It was our first time using a sitting service and we were understandably anxious. Heather made us feel so comfortable and from the frequent updates we got on our pup, he was clearly having the time of his life!!! We could not recommend her enough!”
“Eva is such a warm, thoughtful dog sitter. She texts with any questions and my dogs felt right at home with her. She is great about taking them for walks in Central Park and sending great pics. She truly loves dogs and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Adam watched our 10 month old puppy for about a week while we were out of town, and he did an awesome job. I got so many pictures and videos the whole time. His dog Hermes gets on great with my puppy, they were playing together the whole time! We did a meet and greet before booking him to make sure that the dogs got along well together too. We needed our dog to only eat the food we brought due to allergy concerns, and Adam fed them in separate rooms which worked well. We got back a tired, happy puppy.”
“Aydrian was great! I was going out of the country for a little over a week and a nervous dog mom. He was super accommodating and gave great updates. His apartment is in an ideal spot on the UWS so I knew Penny was in great hands.”
“Michael was so communicative and supportive with Luna as my trip got interrupted last minute. I appreciated the photos and constant updates that were shared. Luna was in great hands when I left her and knew when I picked her up! Thanks again for taking such good care of Luna.”
“Jay was absolutely fantastic with my pup! I got regular updates and came home to a very happy dog. I had to book last minute and Jay was really flexible with drop off and pick up, everything was very convenient. I’d have no concerns rebooking with Jay!”
“Angie was an amazing sitter. We recently went on vacation to Mexico and Angie took care of our 16 year old, blind/deaf Chihuahua. We got pictures regularly and constant updates. We will rebook again for sure. 🙂”
“Roman was incredible. He sent us daily pictures and videos and was very communicative. He took such great care of Luna for 2 weeks, taking her for long walks in the park. We will absolutely work with him again.”
“Iliana was a great host for our 11 year old mini schnauzer. He was there 6 days. She was responsive and sent us pictures of him taking walks and chillaxing in her apt. Would highly recommend her and we look forward to dropping Ace off again when we need a dog sitter”
“Janise and her family took amazing care of my dog Faith! She suffers from some anxiety, but they were patient, brought out the best in her, and kept us updated frequently. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Neffe had a wonderful time with Maelee and Jacob! They took great care of her for the entire week when we were away. They are very detailed oriented and incredibly responsive. Thanks again guys!”

“Victoria did an amazing job taking care of my cats. She was friendly, easy to communicate. I was nervous leaving my cats with a new catsitter, one of them can be anxious with new people. Victoria was very gentle with her and the cats were happy and relaxed when I came home. Victoria also followed the instructions I left perfectly and left our place tidy and clean. Highly recommend!”

“Mary is the best! She is very knowledgeable in caring for animals. Mary provided updates and the cutest pictures of my fur baby! When I returned from being out of town, my kitty told me how much she loved Mary's visits. :) It was so comforting knowing my fur baby was receiving wonderful care by Mary while I was out of town.”
“Angelique did a wonderful job caring for my cat while I was away. She would upload pictures after every visit, and it’s obvious that she loves cats/animals and genuinely cares for them. She even helped me grab some time-sensitive packages from the mailroom and watered my plants.”
“Mackenzie was perfect! Despite waiting until the last minute to book a sitter, I was able to enjoy my weekend trip stress-free thanks to Mackenzie. She was very prompt with responses, followed my instructions to a T, and sent pictures every day. She was also willing to come by before the booking window to meet my cats and learn their routine. I highly recommend Mackenzie and will certainly be requesting her help again in the future.”
“Monique was so compassionate and hooked a sit up for me last minute. She took great care of my cat and is such a lovely person, cannot recommend her enough.”
“This was our second time booking Claire, and our second absolutely stellar experience! Multiple photos every single day, sometimes including a little video, followed all instructions to a T, and came home to happy and cared-for kitties! Thanks again <3”
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Maribel, and once again she did an amazing job! She took great care of both my cats and my apartment, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals. She gave me complete peace of mind while I was away with her detailed updates and photos. She is reliable, thoughtful, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of my family dog since I was 10. I’ve also watched family friends and relatives animals for them when they are away on vacation! I’m currently working hybrid so I can be home most days if needed when boarding an animal! I will enjoy being able to get out of my apartment every few hours to take the dog for long walks! I live in an apartment with a roommate and we always keep the door locked when we are in and out of the home. My roommate has a standard poodle who is super mellow and great with other dogs!

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember! I've dog sat, been a dog walker, and have taken care of all sorts of breeds and dogs with special needs -- feeding, walking, bathing, and snuggling! I work from home full time so I’m able to meet whatever needs your pup has and I’m happy to be with them all day! I live with two dog-loving roommates who would be tried and true playmates for your pups! Our apartment has a good size living room and hallway for inside play, and we live right near Riverside park. I've stayed in others' homes while caring for their dogs for extended and overnight stays and I am courteous, clean, and respectful of your space and privacy.
About: Hi! My name is Nana, and I would love the opportunity to care for your dog. I have many years of hands-on experience as a dog owner and have also cared for dogs for friends and family. After spending 15 wonderful years with my beloved dog, I realized how much I enjoy providing loving, attentive care and would love to share that experience with more dogs and their families. I am a Certified Senior Dog Caregiver and a Certified Dog Trainer. I believe every dog deserves individualized care, so I only accept one family’s dog(s) at a time. This allows me to provide your pet with my full attention in a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. For everyone’s safety, I currently accept dogs up to 25 pounds. This allows me to safely lift your dog if needed during an emergency and helps keep them safe from reaching kitchen counters or tables where food or unsafe items may be left. My apartment is small but very dog-friendly, with low furniture and protected non-slip flooring to help prevent slips and injuries. My building also has a private dog run, and we’re just steps from Carl Schurz Park, making it easy to enjoy plenty of walks, fresh air, and exercise. I’ll happily follow your dog’s normal routine, whether that means frequent outdoor walks, setting up wee-wee pads indoors, administering medications (if needed), or simply providing lots of love and companionship. I carefully follow every owner’s instructions so your dog feels comfortable, secure, and at home. I am reliable, organized, tidy, and detail-oriented. Communication is very important to me, and I’ll send regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your furry family member is doing. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else because I felt the same way with my own dog. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can spend plenty of quality time with your dog. On Mondays and Thursdays, I am away for approximately 6 hours, but I’m otherwise home and available. If you prefer care in your own home, I’m also happy to provide drop-in visits within the Upper East Side area. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about scheduling or your dog’s specific needs. I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs whenever possible! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I only care for one family’s dog(s) at a time, allowing me to provide personalized attention in a calm, low-stress environment. My home is clean, organized, and dog-friendly, with non-slip flooring and low furniture to help keep pets safe. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, potty routines, exercise, and any special needs. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing how your dog is doing. For drop-in visits in the Upper East Side, I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect as my own while ensuring your dog stays on their familiar routine. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Haziza was wonderful! I had to take a last minute trip into the city and traveling with my pet (Scout) was tough. I made the request last minute and Haziza responded immediately! I was nervous as I have never used a Rover in the city, but Haziza has us meet and immediately I felt at ease! She went above and beyond for sending me photos and videos of Scout at the park and even enjoying her family time in the comfort of Hazizas home! I will 100% book with her again any time I am in the city! Cannot give her a high enough review!”
“Urvi was great with Ruckus! He's our 4 month old pup who has a habit of living up to his name, so we were really grateful to be able to entrust him with her for the day. She was very responsive and helpful in booking, helped make sure all the important care info was communicated ahead of time, and sent pictures/videos/updates throughout the day. Ruckus seemed to have a great time, and he was clearly happy and relaxed when I grabbed him at the end of the day. We would absolutely recommend Urvi!”

About: Hi! I am a premed neurology researcher on the Upper West Side looking to support my application fees. I currently have a medium-sized dog named Alfie who I take on long walks everyday in Central Park (only 2 blocks from my apartment). I grew up with pomeranians and fostering large and small dogs so I am familiar with different temperaments and sizes. I am currently waiting to start my new position so I am available to care for your furry family member at your convenience. Once I begin my role, I only work three days a week so I can still walk your dog then as well. I have a 40-lb Keeshond who is very friendly and loves to play. If you are looking for boarding, my dog will be in the apartment as well but I can make sure they get acclimated.

No need to be sorry but you should get a copy of my book and read the chapter on her. I can leave you a copy tomorrow in the front hall. If you’re interested, she was a titan in my life.”
About: Hi everyone! I would love to bring in your little one to play with and love like they’re my own!
