She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”

He was super attentive in listening to us about Ruby’s quirks and (craziness) and made her feel comfortable under his care. Ruby was so happy and looked like she had a great time with Kevin! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I would like to highly recommend Christopher as a great dog sitter. We were very nervous about leaving our 13 months old puppy for the first time ever, but Christopher gave us a great welcoming and ask the right questions about our Cooper that it helps us so much to trust him our puppy. He took excellent care of him and kept us very updated with texts and pictures. I will definitely contact him if needed again and highly recommend him too”
“Diana was amazing with my pup, Louis! He had an absolute blast — especially getting to run around outside and play with the other dogs and kids, which is such a treat for him since he doesn’t get that kind of freedom in Manhattan. I could tell he was well cared for and totally in his element. Communication was great, with tons of photos daily, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such a loving, fun environment. I’d strongly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible sitter — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Judy was amazing! It was Chief’s first time with her and he fell in love! Super communicative- great with updates and photos! We can’t wait until Chief gets to stay with Judy again!”
“Adela was such a wonderful sitter for Griffey! She accommodated our last-minute request for a longer term stay and we couldn’t be more appreciative of how warm and receptive she was to watching our boy. She maintained great communication, sent pictures and videos and made sure to follow his medication schedule. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Dawn took such good care of our pup for a week. We received daily pictures and it looked like he was having a blast with all the other dogs. She also accommodated us last minute when we extended our vacation an extra day. We have a few more weekend trips coming up - will definitely be using Dawn as a sitter.”
“Michelle is amazing! We are new to the area and had a negative experience with a different sitter previously. I was so nervous to try someone new. We found Michelle and I am SO grateful!! I honestly think our dog didn’t want to leave her house. She sent tons of photos and updates. Our Great Dane is sensitive to new situations and will refuse to eat. Michelle waited with her during each meal so she would eat. She truly went above and beyond and I can not recommend her enough.”
“We have a 80 lbs, 12+ year old lab, with arthritis in hind legs which makes it difficult for him to sit and get up. This time when our regular pet sitter was not available, we left Simba with Isabella with an almost skeptical mind as she did not have many reviews and seemed new. But at the end of the stay, we’re delighted to say that she took the best care of him, and made sure he got his walks and medicine on time.. she sent us very frequent updates including pictures and videos. She did everything to make sure that we were not worried about simba even for a minute while he was with her and were able to enjoy our time peacefully! Highly recommended!!”

About: I work at a doggy daycare. At this job I supervise groups of dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. I’m experienced with feeding, administering medication, and basic grooming like baths and nail trims. Working at this job has taught me a lot about dog behavior and body language. I am also pet CPR and first aid certified with America Health Training. I am an owner of a 2 year old rescue dog myself. I am used to all different types of personalities and temperaments and ready to take on whatever it is your dog may need! I am working part time at a doggy daycare facility. I am normally available in the early morning until 12pm and from 8:30pm to late night. Tuesdays and Fridays I am free the entire day for any bookings so long as I know at least a day in advance! Because of my work obligations as well as obligations to my own pets I am only offering dog walking sessions as well as home check ins for cats and dogs. I am used to any kind of harness or collars for dogs, experienced with using crates and am comfortable taking them out wherever is comfortable with you. For both cats and dogs I can come in for house check ins, help with feedings, play with your pets, or just come in for a snuggle so they don’t get lonely.
“My dog can be quite fearful and in the past walkers haven’t even been able to get him to go out, but Nicholas had no issues. Clearly he’s the puppy whisperer! I look forward to booking him again”
About: I’m a recent college graduate with a huge love of dogs! I’ve owned several dogs my whole life, many types (Lab, Pitbull, Australian Cattle Dog). My family and I have fostered over 5 different dogs in the last couple of years. My sister is a professional dog trainer and I’ve watched her work for many years! My mom has been pet sitting for Rover for years so I’ve gotten very used to working with all sorts of dogs on a weekly basis. I love caring for animals, especially taking them on walks and giving them baths :) Since I just graduated, I’m looking to do something fun to fill up my time! I’m free whenever and I can go where ever :) I’m super attentive when it comes to dogs needs. At home, I try to walk my dogs at least once a day and I’m always picking up on cues when they need to go outside.
About: I've taken care of dogs for 3 years, having owned a dog for 6. I have cared for senior pets and I can take walks as long as your pup desires- whether that be 3 miles or 10 feet... I'm currently home for the summer from college so I have unlimited free time to care and play with pets. As my own dog is getting older, I love taking longer walks with more energetic dogs! I like to know the pet's preferences so I can accommodate and make them feel as comfortable as possible. Every check in is not only feeding but also attention and company for your pet who may be feeling lonely. If I've noticed a pet is really missing their owner I always make sure to spend extra time in order to soothe them.
“Gianna has been wonderful to work with! She is kind, friendly, and great with communication. It’s also clear that she loves animals very much! We are so happy to be working with her as she helps us give walk for our young pup!”
About: I grew up in a home of true pet lovers. In fact, my father is a veterinarian, so I have an expert directly on-call at all times!

I have been taking care of my own and neighborhood pets for years. Flexible hours available. Dog Walking: Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays Drop-in Visits: Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays Dog Sitting: Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays I would like to be able to accommodate the needs of both you and your pets.

“Dean is great!! Super reliable, communicative and amazing with my dog Dior. I booked Dean superrr last minute this weekend and he responded immediately, kept me updated throughout the walks and I can’t wait to book him again”
About: I have been surrounded by all kinds of animals growing up: dogs, cats, bunnies, even reptiles so I absolutely love animals! I have experience with all kinds of dog breeds like pitbulls, english mastiffs, german shepards, and of course the smaller guys! I’ve always trained my own dogs. I have taken care of friends’ and family’s dogs since I was 14, but I have never been without a dog my whole life! I’m currently a college student studying nursing, so I have clinical until 3:00pm on Mondays and class until 12:00pm on Thursdays. Other than that I’m pretty available throughout the week and flexible on weekends, so I have plenty of time to care for your dogs! I currently live in dorms so I don’t offer boarding. But I would love to play with your dog inside/outside of your house for drop-in’s and walks!
About: I have always grown up with dogs in my home. Currently, my family has one high energy black lab. In September of 2024, I also adopted my first own dog, Millie! I have watched, played with, fed, and walked dogs for many years including family and friends. I am currently in my final year of veterinary school. I also have worked as a veterinary assistant so have first aid and medical skills. I’m in my clinical year of vet school so my schedule varies by which rotation I’m on! Early morning and evening would probably be best for me most of the time. I try to update my availability calendar as often as I can! My home is very safe. There are plenty of paths and green spaces for walking. Your animal would have to get up one flight of steps.
“Jill came right on time, let me know that she had arrived, and did everything I asked her to - including sending pictures. Waylon had a great walk with her and we'll be booking Jill again!”
“We are so so grateful for Caroline! She’s on top of communication and came out to meet our dogs before she started doing walks. She’s done a number of walks for us now! She stayed in touch and accommodated even our most random requests like pulling things out of our freezer for our dogs to use after their walks. We will continue to reach out to her as long as she’s available!! Thank you for being so great to our girls!”
About: As a fellow dog owner myself I will take care of your pup like they’re my own! I have grown up around dogs and have had 4 in my lifetime. When I was around 10 I began taking on more responsibility and started to walk and feed my dogs daily. Additionally I helped at the Monroe dog shelter all through high school until its closing last year, a total of 7 years. During this time I have interacted with all breeds and sizes from teacup Shitzus to energetic Pitbulls. I have also learned techniques on how to deal with both timid or rambunctious dogs and make them feel comfortable with my presence. I have also babysat a number of years so I am experienced in house keeping as well. I am currently in graduate school with my own transportation and a flexible schedule.

I highly recommend Lu and his family and feel good that we found someone to take care of Beau next time we need boarding.”
“We love having Rory stay with Janine. This was Rory’s 3rd stay, and she practically dragged me to Janine’s door at drop off. Janine is very communicative, reliable, and creates a safe space for Rory. She’s flexible with last minute requests and arranging drop-off and pick-up, and sends regular photos. Janine pays particular attention to Rory’s needs and comfort, and was very gratified at Rory’s increased comfort upon her third stay. We love Janine and will use her again soon.”
“Thank you so much for looking after Charlie over the holidays. We were so happy he was well looked after. Appreciate all the updates and videos sent and the doggie gift you sent home with him. It was very nice.”
