“I had an amazing experience with our dog Omar! He truly went above and beyond to make sure Lou was happy, comfortable and well cared for. Every day Omar sent thoughtful updates along with lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my fur baby was getting plenty of love and attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely book with Omar again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Noelle is such an amazing individual. My pup had anxiety the first night I dropped her off and Noelle was very good at communicating everything with me. After the first night Phoenix did a full 360 and was having the best time with Noelle. I will gladly use Noelle to sit for Phoenix.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with my first-time dog sitter Kiara! 🐾❤️ I immediately knew she was the one I wanted to care for my twin boys, and she did an amazing job taking care of them for 5 days. I would usually text her to check in, and she was always quick to respond with updates and photos of the boys. It was so reassuring to know they were in good hands. The twins seemed to really like her and gradually became comfortable with her, which made me so happy! I would absolutely rebook with her again, if she’ll have us back! 😊 Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my fur babies. I truly appreciate you, and I’m sending a little tip as a token of my appreciation. Highly recommend! ❤️🐶”
“Jocelyn took fantastic care of our energetic pup while we were on vacation. She was communicative and sent lots of videos and pictures. Our dog loved the amount of attention and exercise she got.”
“I have encountered a lot of dog lovers but not like Will! My dog fit in perfectly, and honestly I loved that! I will definitely use Will services again, and even recommend a few of my friends that have dogs. If you looking for a Nanny that is a 10/10 , Will is your person .”
“My dog, Roo, had a phenomenal stay with Leticia!! Leticia was very kind and friendly, and had a lovely and cozy home that I felt very comfortable with Roo staying at. Roo is a very finicky chihuahua with high anxiety and is an extreme velcro dog, and she bonded with Leticia without a problem! Roo also tends to go on hunger strikes while I’m away, but to my surprise and delight, she had no problems eating while at Leticia’s! Leticia sent lots of pictures and videos of Roo, which really helped my own anxiety with leaving Roo with a sitter from Rover for the first time. Overall, Roo was happy and healthy and I couldn’t have been more pleased! I would definitely recommend Leticia to anyone!!”
“Maria is the dog whisperer! She gave my dog A+ attention while we were away. He's an older dog and grumpy with people he doesn't know but Maria was patient and understanding and won him over right away. She communicated every day with pictures and updates so we felt confident he was safe and sound in her care over the holidays. I would definitely use her again!”
“Thanks for another great stay for Teddy! He feels so welcome and loved in your home, it has become his second home! He truly loves being with your family and we love being able to travel knowing he is so well taken care of!”
“This is my second time leaving my doggies with Rafaelina and they are always well taken care of. She updates me regularly and makes me feel at ease when I’m traveling. I highly recommend Rafaelina. She’s the best!”
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care Sujaya gave our dog, Bosston, over the weekend. They were incredibly attentive, especially when Bosston’s belly wasn’t feeling the best and during the fireworks, which usually make him nervous. She went the extra mile to comfort him and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Bosston was in loving hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!!”
“Lucy was absolutely amazing! My basset hound puppy had the best time. She took him on lots of walks! Lucy sent pictures and videos throughout the duration of his stay which made me feel at ease that he was having a good time! I will be using Lucy from now on when I need a dog sitter or go out of town. She was absolutely wonderful! Thank you for taking good care of our fur baby!”
“Jorge is such a kind dog boarder. This would be the second time That my cockapoo had an extended stay with him. I got plenty of photo and video showing how much fun my dog was having. Fully Recommend.”
“Auredy came through when I needed it the most. I had a last-minute cancellation, and I was stressing about finding someone to watch Romeo. They bonded well; Romeo spent a weekend with other pups and made friends. I am very happy with the service.”
“Iliana was absolutely amazing with Kylo! From the moment I dropped him off, her communication was top tier. I received updates every morning, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. What really stood out to me was how attentive she was to Kylo’s needs. She even took the time to take care of his eye and make sure he was comfortable. That meant so much to me because it showed that she genuinely cared about him and wasn’t just watching him. Kylo came home happy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely recommend Iliana to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their fur baby. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy! ❤️”
“Essence is the best! I know my dogs are in great hands with her. She is always flexible with us, she sends us updates without us having to ask, my dogs are always happy when they leave her place. She is the best and I am so grateful for her. Xoxo thank you Essence.”
“Alyona was terrific with my puppy Bennet. She sent pictures and updates throughout Bennet’s stay and assured me that she was doing well. Alyona was inquisitive about Bennet’s habits and likes and that clearly translated into how she cared for my puppy during her stay. I will absolutely rebook in the future.”
“Jada was amazing! She took great care of my dog and provided photos and updates daily. I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely book with Jada again! 🐶❤️”
“Lio is truly a beloved member of our family and is adored by my three children. I am very selective about where I leave him and rarely trust anyone else to care for him. From the very beginning, both Sayarlin and her husband were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with our "big boy", who think he is a Chihuahua. Whenever I called or had a question, they were always responsive and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. One thing I especially appreciated is that they have access to an outdoor space in New York, allowing Lio to get fresh air and feel comfortable outside of the apartment setting. Their love for animals is obvious, and they treated Lio as if he were their own. I highly recommend their dog-sitting service to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet care.”

About: While I don't currently own cats, I have extensive hands-on experience working with feline behavior, temperaments, and daily care across various environments: Animal Control & Rehabilitation Background: Through my work in animal control, I’ve handled, rescued, and bonded with dozens of stray and feral cats. I understand cat body language, respecting their boundaries, and building trust with shy, fearful, or defensive cats at their own pace. Private Cat Sitting Experience: I regularly pet sit for friends and private clients—including managing multi-cat households (up to 3 cats at a time). I ensure everyone gets their individual attention, proper feeding schedules, and plenty of affection. Routine & Health Care: I handle precise feeding schedules, fresh water refills, litter box maintenance, and giving playtime or gentle companionship based on what each cat prefers. Calm & Patient Approach: Whether your cat is super outgoing and loves active playtime or is more independent and prefers a quiet, low-stress presence, I adapt to their specific personality to keep them comfortable.
“We've had our cat for almost a decade now, and Jorge is the best pet sitter we have ever had!!! He is so responsive, reliable, and flexible. He follows our instructions exactly and always provides a nice update on how our cat is doing. He's taken many last-minute bookings for us before and we always appreciate how available he is! He is so great with our cat who can be quite surly; she is always happy and well cared for once we return home. Litter box is always clean, water is filled, etc. He's done so much to build our trust and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you Jorge!!”
“Karen is a wonderful person. She has been taking care of my two cats on a weekly basis for a couple of months now, and I couldn’t be more pleased. She is great with them. In fact, one of my cats has extreme anxiety and usually hides around new people, but he took to Karen right away. She is very responsible and trustworthy. She goes above and beyond on every visit. I’m away from my home frequently, and knowing that Karen is there makes me feel so much better knowing that my two kitties are being well taken care of.”

“Colleen is simply the best!! She took care of my cat for 5 days while I was out of state. She was very communicative and let me know each time when she arrived. She also provided a little note and photos each visit which I truly appreciate. I felt so relieved knowing my cat was happy and doing okay! I highly recommend Colleen and I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 10 years and have experience with kitties of all ages, from tiny 6 week old kittens to older cats with well-established personalities. At one point, I shared my home with four cats, so I understand how important patience, comfort, and routine are for them. These days, friends and family trust me to care for their cats while they’re away making sure they’re fed, comfortable, loved, and getting plenty of rubs & cuddles (along with keeping those litter boxes fresh and clean). I truly enjoy creating a calm, cozy environment where cats can feel safe and cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of cats in the past of family and friends. My cat recently passed and although it was a short while of bonding, he was very much part of the family.

About: With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, our home has become a second home for countless furry friends. What started as a fun activity with my young son has grown into a true passion we continue to share. Now a spirited teenager, my son still brings the same energy and love to every pet we care for—ensuring each one gets plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. We live in a private apartment in a family-owned three-family house in Lower Westchester. Our home is clean, spacious, and pet-friendly, with a private deck and a small backyard perfect for fresh air and play. We’re also just a short walk from the beautifully updated Yonkers waterfront, where your pet will enjoy scenic strolls and outdoor fun. You won’t find a more dog-loving duo. Whether your pet is high-energy or prefers laid-back lounging, we’re happy to tailor our care to their unique needs and personality. We truly love what we do—and it shows. Feel free to reach out with any questions. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Since we’ve been pet sitting for over a decade, we’ve built our schedule around giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Morning and evening walks are part of our daily rhythm, and we make time throughout the day for play, feeding, and cuddle sessions. My teenage son is very involved—he loves helping with walks, playtime, and making sure each pet feels right at home. Whether we have one guest or a few, they’re always integrated into our family life with love and consistency. In our home, pets are treated like family. We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. They have access to cozy spaces indoors, a private deck for fresh air, and a small backyard for outdoor time. We stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special care instructions—to ensure a smooth and stress-free stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure, keeping things as familiar as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to their individual needs while maintaining communication with the owner for peace of mind.

About: Hi, I’m a dog Mom to Ruben and Teddy. I have a cozy home for dogs who love companionship and plenty of attention. I offer a safe, peaceful space with room to relax, play, and enjoy daily walks. I have experience raising and crate-training Ruben from puppyhood and Teddy was adopted as a rescue. I understand the importance of routines, patience, consistent use of language and special treats to build trust with dogs. I work remotely, which allows me to provide supervision, personalized care, and a calm environment where dogs feel comfortable, and loved. It would be my joy to help be a part of your dog’s care team! I provide discounts to repeat customers and welcome working with you on pricing for extended stays and care for multiple dogs. I do have upfront and discretionary fees for late evening pickups /drop offs and specialized caretaking needs. My days usually include 2–3 walks: 10-15 min around my quite neighborhood block, playtime: fetch, belly rubs etc, potty breaks on a leash in the back yard and lots of opportunities for dogs to relax and chill independently or cuddle with me. When coming inside from walks, I wipe down their paws and faces with dog-safe wipes. I often play calming dog music and am happy to continue routines from home, including favorite treats, chews, or comfort items you send along. I keep routines as consistent as possible. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time (no more than four), which allows me to give each pup personalized care if needed. My home has plenty of space for dogs to relax and move around inside, and a semi-fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. For safety, I use leashes for all outdoor activities and always keep a close eye on the dogs in my care. I also have a crate and separate areas available if a dog needs quiet time, a break from the group, or their own comfortable space. I especially enjoy caring for small and medium-sized dogs who thrive in a relaxed home setting and would love having Ruben a and Teddy as a friendly companion during their stay.
“Jorge is friendly and Rosie warmed up to him right away. He took the dogs he was watching to the park! Easy communication and many photos. Will book with Jorge again.”
“My dogs always love going to Leon’s. They pulled me to his door and were so excited to see them. They had another wonderful stay. We will continue booking with Leon when we need a sitter.”
“Nikki was fantastic!! She took amazing care of Oscar over the past two days - she made sure he felt welcome in her home and he was having a great time with her dog Scout. Would book Nikki again, and recommend her to any dog parents in the area looking for doggy daycare / dog sitter.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Corey and Stephanie! They took amazing care of my dog and truly treated her like she was one of their own. They kept me updated multiple times throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was safe, happy, and being well cared for. I especially appreciated how attentive they were to her comfort around the other dogs at daycare. They made sure she felt safe and even took the time to walk her separately so she could have some one-on-one attention. That really showed me how much they genuinely care about each dog and their individual needs. Corey and Stephanie are incredibly kind, friendly, and clearly have a genuine love for dogs. I felt completely comfortable leaving my girl in their care, and I will absolutely be booking with them again. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for people who will care for your dog as if they were their own! 🐾❤️”
“We're so happy to have found such a great pet sitter in our new area. Katherine is a gem... very experienced with dogs, dependable, professional, friendly, and really good with our little pup. Our Meggy had so much fun with her on 6 days of daycare, and looked forward to seeing her. They went on many walks and Katherine sent several adorable pictures and videos. We will definitely be calling Katherine again. ?”
“My wife and I were very thankful with Chialing as she took our baby Taco on a very short notice and took care of him wonderfully. She kept us posted of his activity and send us pictures through out the day. I highly recommend her services.”
“I left my labradoodle, Ramona, with Valentina and her 4-year-old son for few hours, and honestly, she had the best time. From the start, Ramona felt completely at home — she got tons of love, playtime, and cuddles. Valentina was amazing and kept me updated with sweet pictures and little messages, which really put my mind at ease. Her son was the perfect little playmate, full of energy but so gentle and caring with Ramona. They played, ran around, and Ramona clearly loved all the extra attention. When I picked her up, she was happy, calm, and probably would’ve stayed even longer if she could! I highly recommend Valentina and her sweet son if you need someone loving and trustworthy to watch your dog. 5/5 paws from Ramona! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾”

“5 STAR ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience — she was so kind, patient, and flexible, and sent beautiful photos throughout the walk. My dog came back super happy, and everything went so smoothly. Would DEFINITELY book her again. She also brought her own pup along, which was such a pleasant and much appreciated surprise since my dog does better with a support dog by his side.”

“Krstine is AMAZING. This was our first time hiring a dog walker/sitter outside of the family and I could not have chosen a better person than Kristine. She is so caring and attentive and you can tell is a true animal lover. She made sure to know everything there was to know about my dog, made sure the temperature in our home was cool enough for her, made sure her water bowl was full and she had her pre-approved treats, and sent me updates and pictures. Every picture my baby had the biggest smile on her face and I am so happy to have found someone that I quickly came to trust so completely with her. Thank you Kristine!”
About: I’ve been passionately caring for dogs since I was 13 years old. Over the years, I’ve fostered and adopted multiple dogs, specializing in communication-based training, housebreaking, and custom communication techniques. I’ve successfully trained dogs to express their needs clearly—whether signaling to go outside, asking for water, or communicating when it's mealtime! Currently, I balance my college studies with working professionally as a dog handler. Because of my professional background in canine behavior and training, I understand how dogs think, learn, and communicate. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, high-energy playtime, or just a calm, confident handler while you're away, they will be in expert hands. Current Fall Schedule (August – December) I balance professional training and college courses, which keeps my routine structured and consistent. I am available for bookings on specific days each week: Morning Shift Days (Work 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM): Fully available for afternoon walks, drop-ins, evening visits, and overnight house sitting starting after 2:30 PM. Evening Shift Days (Work 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM): Available for early morning walks, breakfast drop-ins, and mid-day visits up until 1:00 PM. Overnight House Sitting: Available regularly! As long as your dog can be left comfortably during my work/class hours, I provide full overnight care, evening exercise, and morning routines. Winter & Spring Availability (Starting January) Beginning in December, my college semester ends and my availability expands significantly. I will have full, open availability alongside my standard work shifts for drop-ins, walks, and boarding/sitting. When staying at or visiting a client's home, safety, clear communication, and keeping your dog happy and comfortable are my top priorities: Potty Breaks & Routine Maintenance: I stick strictly to your pet's established routine for outdoor breaks, feeding times, and bedtime to keep their environment feeling familiar and stress-free. Appetite & Engagement Solutions: If a dog is feeling anxious or hesitant to eat in a new routine, I use low-impact playtime, light exercise, or gentle mental stimulation to help them settle in, relax, and get their digestive system moving naturally. Home Security & Respect: I treat your home with total respect—keeping doors securely locked, maintaining a clean space, and following all specific instructions regarding gated areas, crate routines, or security systems. Constant Communication & Updates: You will receive regular photo updates, routine check-ins, and immediate communication so you always have total peace of mind while you're away. (Note: I currently do not offer boarding services inside my own home, focusing 100% of my attention on on-site house sitting, drop-in visits, and walking.)
“PJ is the BEST!!! He's super reliable, always on time, sends the best pictures, gives Chewbacca lots of love and attention and communicates just the right amount. No wonder Chewy loves him. Maybe a little too much?!? Makes me a little jealous actually. But what's better than knowing your dog loves seeing his "second best friend!" I know he's in great and caring hands with PJ!”

About: Hi pet parents! I’m Midory. As a proud mom of two and a dedicated pet owner, my days are full of activity, structure, and a whole lot of love for animals. I specialize in walking and caring for dogs who thrive in lively environments and absolutely adore being around children.Because we are a busy, pet-loving household, your dog will get plenty of attention, built-in socialization, and a consistent routine. I know how important it is to keep pets safe and active while you are away, so I tailor our walks to your dog’s specific energy level.Our home is a warm, family-friendly space where your pup will be treated just like one of our own. I provide regular photo updates and transparent communication so you always have total peace of mind. I can't wait to meet your kid-friendly pup for some fun and exercise! Mornings between 8-11am as long as dogs are kid friendly.On weekends any time and I can also do anytime after 4pm on weekdays if needed. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep your dog's safety as my top priority. During walks, I strictly follow your preferred routes, use secure leashes, and practice positive reinforcement. For drop-in visits, I stick closely to your established routine: feeding on time, refreshing water, administering any needed medications, and providing plenty of play and affection. Before leaving, I always double-check that your home is secure, the pup is settled, and I send you a detailed update with photos.
About: I have experience caring for three dogs. One was named Maia, an Australian Shepherd who belonged to my aunt. She was very energetic, and I spent a lot of time playing with her. I also cared for a German Shepherd named Rex. Although he was calmer, I played with him frequently as well. The third was Mango, a very small puppy with lots of energy. I fed all three dogs the appropriate amount of food based on their weight and at their scheduled feeding times. I also took them to the park regularly, although I took Mango less often because he was still a puppy. I am available to work on weekdays from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and I can also start as early as 8:00 AM when needed. During that time, I am happy to care for your pet by providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the day. If the visits involve feeding, I would stay with the pets to play, keep them company, and give them a little extra affection before leaving the owner's home—naturally, always within the limits and guidelines provided to me. As for walks, I would make sure to bring everything necessary to ensure the pet feels comfortable and has a good, playful time.
“Arianna took great care of our dog, Tallulah! She was super attentive and communicative which helped me feel so safe and confident that Tallulah was in good hands. Our dog got sick and Arianna went above and beyond to make sure she okay and cleaned up after her accidents which was very kind. We really appreciated her help and will definitely be asking her to watch our pup in the future!”

“Karen was a huge help to me and my wife, who had just sprained her ankle. Our dog is new to us and still not fully trained, but with my wife unable to walk him, Karen really helped us out, and she handled his walks with no problem!”
About: I just have an intense love for all animals and think they are all angels. If I had more self-control, I'd be vegan. I am open to taking care of any animals but mainly have experience with dogs and cats. I'm still looking for full-time work so currently, I have an open schedule. I would prefer to work Mon-Fri. I am open to discussing weekend availability. I would prefer to take care of the pet in the client's home, because I have pets of my own. My pets are both pretty unique, so it would be more efficient to do it in a space that's familiar to the pet.
About: We’re Justin and Esther—animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Justin has had pets his whole life, starting with a sweet cat named China, who had a litter of kittens he raised until their passing. Today, we care for Lunae Lux, our energetic Siberian Husky, and Fayth, Justin’s affectionate cat. For Esther, being surrounded by animals was always a dream—and marrying Justin made it a reality. It’s allowed her to bond deeply with both Lunae and Fayth, fulfilling her lifelong wish to share her days with furry companions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or training, we’re passionate about giving every pet the care and love they deserve. Animals are the first and most important priority of the day, afternoon and night. They are like children in that aspect, or fur children as people say. My cat and dog get along very well. I have trained my Siberian Husky to be more understanding and caring to smaller animals such as cats.

“I was honestly really worried about hiring a dog walker because my dog is very reactive, but Tatiana has been amazing. She is not only professional, arrives on time, but clearly experienced, which has put me at ease. I especially love the detailed updates in the app—it shows me everything about my dog’s walk and gives me total peace of mind. After just one walk, my dog already gets excited to see Tatiana, which says everything. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue to use her services. Highly recommend!”

“I had an amazing experience with our dog Omar! He truly went above and beyond to make sure Lou was happy, comfortable and well cared for. Every day Omar sent thoughtful updates along with lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my fur baby was getting plenty of love and attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely book with Omar again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Noelle is such an amazing individual. My pup had anxiety the first night I dropped her off and Noelle was very good at communicating everything with me. After the first night Phoenix did a full 360 and was having the best time with Noelle. I will gladly use Noelle to sit for Phoenix.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with my first-time dog sitter Kiara! 🐾❤️ I immediately knew she was the one I wanted to care for my twin boys, and she did an amazing job taking care of them for 5 days. I would usually text her to check in, and she was always quick to respond with updates and photos of the boys. It was so reassuring to know they were in good hands. The twins seemed to really like her and gradually became comfortable with her, which made me so happy! I would absolutely rebook with her again, if she’ll have us back! 😊 Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my fur babies. I truly appreciate you, and I’m sending a little tip as a token of my appreciation. Highly recommend! ❤️🐶”
“Jocelyn took fantastic care of our energetic pup while we were on vacation. She was communicative and sent lots of videos and pictures. Our dog loved the amount of attention and exercise she got.”
“I have encountered a lot of dog lovers but not like Will! My dog fit in perfectly, and honestly I loved that! I will definitely use Will services again, and even recommend a few of my friends that have dogs. If you looking for a Nanny that is a 10/10 , Will is your person .”
“Maria is the dog whisperer! She gave my dog A+ attention while we were away. He's an older dog and grumpy with people he doesn't know but Maria was patient and understanding and won him over right away. She communicated every day with pictures and updates so we felt confident he was safe and sound in her care over the holidays. I would definitely use her again!”
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care Sujaya gave our dog, Bosston, over the weekend. They were incredibly attentive, especially when Bosston’s belly wasn’t feeling the best and during the fireworks, which usually make him nervous. She went the extra mile to comfort him and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Bosston was in loving hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!!”
“Essence is the best! I know my dogs are in great hands with her. She is always flexible with us, she sends us updates without us having to ask, my dogs are always happy when they leave her place. She is the best and I am so grateful for her. Xoxo thank you Essence.”
“Alyona was terrific with my puppy Bennet. She sent pictures and updates throughout Bennet’s stay and assured me that she was doing well. Alyona was inquisitive about Bennet’s habits and likes and that clearly translated into how she cared for my puppy during her stay. I will absolutely rebook in the future.”
“Jada was amazing! She took great care of my dog and provided photos and updates daily. I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely book with Jada again! 🐶❤️”
“Lio is truly a beloved member of our family and is adored by my three children. I am very selective about where I leave him and rarely trust anyone else to care for him. From the very beginning, both Sayarlin and her husband were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with our "big boy", who think he is a Chihuahua. Whenever I called or had a question, they were always responsive and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. One thing I especially appreciated is that they have access to an outdoor space in New York, allowing Lio to get fresh air and feel comfortable outside of the apartment setting. Their love for animals is obvious, and they treated Lio as if he were their own. I highly recommend their dog-sitting service to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet care.”
“I had to leave my old and sick Lab for almost two weeks over the holidays and was extremely nervous about finding someone to take care of him. Grace and Luis took great care of him and kept me updated constantly throughout the trip, including letting me know when they had a concern immediately . They were also unfazed by his medicine schedule. My dog had also been having by some accidents inside so I provided diapers but was very nervous about that happening while we were away and Grace again was completely unfazed by it and took the time to get to know his potty schedule to minimize accidents. Additionally my vet would not refill his prescription before we left so I had to ask Grace to pick it up at CVS which she did happily. I am very grateful for the good care they took of Nash and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for dog boarding.”
“Destiny is wonderful! She responded promptly to my request and was very accommodating and flexible around my time needs for drop-off and pick-up. She offered a FaceTime call before booking so I could feel confident and answer any questions I needed. My dog is a senior dog and can have separation anxiety, but I could tell she got along quickly with her. She was kind, courteous, and very friendly. I’ll definitely be continuing to book with Destiny!”
“This was the first time being away from our dog and Nicole did a great job at making him and my family feel at ease! She regularly kept me updated with messages and pictures and took very good care of him. Will definitely use her again!”
“I’m so happy I found Anali to watch my dog Fury while I was on vacation. He can be a tough dog to handle and after our meet and greet with Anali I knew she was the right person to care for Fury. She sent plenty of videos and pictures to keep me at ease while I was away. Also I could tell she has plenty of experience for training and caring for dogs. Thank you so much Anali and if anyone is thinking about having her watch their pet then I can’t say enough good things about her.”
“Binta is an all-star and a consummate professional! My dog loved her right away. Binta made sure my dog stayed on a comforting routine, gave her lots of attention, made sure she got a lot of outdoor time and exercise, etc. Binta’s updates were extremely detailed and featured lots of cute pictures. Her place is cozy, clean, and organized, making it an ideal home away from home for your furry loved one. We will definitely call on Binta again the next time we travel.”
“Charmaine was wonderful with Oliver while we were gone! She loves animals and he was in the best hands during our trip, the pictures and videos were very welcomed as well! Book with confidence”
“Cindy took such great care of my sweet doggie! She provided me with updates and pictures often! Cody loved being there. I definitely plan to use her again for Cody. Thank you Cindy so much!”
“Vivian took wonderful care of Moose and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was caring, reliable, and attentive, and it was clear that Moose was happy and comfortable with her. I really appreciated the updates and the genuine affection she showed. I would absolutely recommend Vivian to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter, and I would be happy to have her care for Moose again.”
