“We had a wonderful experience boarding our puppy with Ayush. From the start, communication was excellent, and we felt completely at ease leaving our puppy in his care. He provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Ayush genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and treated our puppy like part of the family. We especially appreciated our puppy having new friends to play with (Ayush’s dogs). We would absolutely book with Ayush again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy person to board with.”
“Tallin was a truly wonderful dogsitter! I've left my dog with very few sitters before, so I was a bit anxious about leaving him with a stranger, but Tallin put me right at ease with twice-daily updates and lots of photos. I will absolutely try to book with her again next time I need a sitter!”

About: With 15 years experience in dog care, I am looking forward to hosting your dog. I will bathe your dog during the stay if requested. I will give a minimum of 4 walks a day and a lot of love at night. I work from home so your dog will get 3-4 walks a day at 8 am, 12 pm (dog park), 5 pm and 9 pm. In between those walks, your dog will hang out with me, cuddle and respond to my emails. I have a clean 2 bedroom apartment in stuytown. The apartment is baby proofed for my daughter meaning there’s nothing is nothing for your dog to chew on

I will definitely rebook in the future!”

“Linyan was an excellent communicator and took extra special care of my little one. I could tell right away that she really cares about dogs by the way she attentively listened to everything I shared at drop-off. My sensitive dog picked it up too and didn’t even cry when I left her. I will absolutely be rebooking!”
About: ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My first dog — Lucy, a Border Collie I had when I was 11 back in Shanghai, China — was my best friend for 16 years. Alongside her, I cared for a rescued stray cat "Noji" and an adopted poodle "Bebe" when I was 13, which taught me patience, responsibility, policing different pets, and how to understand different pet personalities. After moving to the U.S. for school, I brought home my baby Corgi "Brioche" in 2020. She’s now a 5-year-old certified service dog who’s friendly, well-trained, and walked three times a day for at least 30 minutes each time. I also helped train and kept a baby Devon Rex cat for my family in 2025. What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, ages, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I love fur babies more than anything and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I will be working part time starting summer 2026 in NYC, so my schedule is flexible, I'm available for daily walks, boarding both weekdays and weekends. I live in a 2 bedroom in FiDi close to battery park city. There are no crates and my corgi was never crate-trained. I don't have indoor pet potty so I almost only take my dog out for potty unless the weather is crazy. I have plenty of dog beds and toys.
“Minako is so great with my dog. He is always excited to see her when she comes to pick him up. She sends great pictures and I know he's having fun aka getting all his energy out. She is quick to respond to booking requests and is very accommodating if I have to work a little late. Would highly recommend!”
“Heather was wonderful! Belfry loved his time with her and was right at home. She sent so many pics and updates through the day which we loved!”
“Yoon was absolutely wonderful with Emilio! She was kind, attentive, responsible, and very caring throughout the day. She kept me updated and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Emilio was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Yoon to any family looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. We would be very happy to have her take care of Emilio again! ❤️”
“Jennifer was awesome! Took great care of Polly, even let her have a toy that she seemed to like. Sent plenty of pictures/videos & took her on a nice long walk. Recommended!”
“Janet & Spencer are so sweet and took such great care of Rosa! They made sure she was comfortable and all her needs were met. She had a wonderful time with them!”
“I cannot say more wonderful things about Hassandra. She was so professional and kind, sent me so many pics and I loved that Bean could play with her pup and kids- he came home a happy, exhausted pup! HIGHLY recommend”
“Jordan & Sydney were great with Margo! They were patient with her and walked her multiple times during her stay for daycare. We knew she was in good hands for the day!”
“Jade is a wonderful, energetic and warm sitter. As first time dog owners, we were hesitant to leave our fur baby with anyone. She took our dog on a long walk and gave him the socialization he needed with other dogs. Her clear and proactive communication style really put us at ease. We look forward to using Jade again on a regular cadence, despite her not being in our town!”
“Super communicative and lovely! So glad that we were able to spend the day in the city and not have any worry that Gordon was being taken care of and loved. Would absolutely recommend and use Reka and Ian's services again. Thank you!”
“Cathy was amazing with Milo! She took such great care of him and was always taking him out to different places and making sure he had plenty of fun and attention. Milo absolutely loves her, and I could tell he was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. I felt completely at ease knowing he was so well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend Cathy and would love to have her watch Milo again!”
“My dog seemed to love Kecia right away! She provided detailed updates and made me feel very assured that my baby was safe. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Lauren was the perfect babysitter for our pup while we were away for the day! We could tell he loved getting to hang with her and she was super responsive. We’ll definitely schedule another time for Lauren to watch Rizzo :)”
“I booked with Sarah for a last minute doggy day care. She was super responsive and sent multiple photos and updates of my dog during the day. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Raul is the best there is. His organization, proactive communication and warm aura give me confidence my puppy is in great hands. He is thoughtful and sharp, and considers matters related to her comfort and health before they become issues. In advance of my girl’s evening walks, he checks the forecast and communicates inclement weather that may require additional planning; that attention to detail is invaluable. 11/10!! We love him!”
About: I have two labradoodles at home in CA that I miss dearly! One of my dogs has diabetes, and I have administered daily insulin shots as well as being extra vigilant with his activity. I love playing with dogs of all kinds and they never fail to bring a smile to my face! I work in strategy and operations at a tech company, and typically have a flexible schedule in the mornings and evenings. I am very active and typically go on a walk each day - would love company! I am very gentle and cautious with all dogs. I can crate your dog if needed, and give superb ear and belly massages (my dogs can send referrals!)
“Gabriela took great care of my Olive. We did 2 walks in 1 day and she did a great job with both. He is definitely high energy and she was able to run him around enough to tire him out. I definitely recommend!”
“Elisabeth was wonderful to coordinate with and was extremely responsive and prompt. She gave a detailed account of his walk with many photos. I would love to work with her again!”
About: My family always had dogs growing up so I have a lot of experience with dogs of various temperaments, sizes, and needs. At one point we had one big dog and two little dogs who didn’t get along so I am also familiar with taking care of dogs who don’t get along and how to keep them separated if needed. I have also lived with and elderly cat and a small kitten so I am familiar with cat care as well! I am in nursing school full time Tuesday-Thursday but can take care of your pets before/after classes as well as my days off. Open to overnight care as well as drop ins for walks, pets, and feeding. I will take care of your animals as if they were my own. Let me know of any special instructions and I will be sure to follow them. Excited to meet your pets!
“Adam is responsive, caring and attentive! He goes above and beyond the call of duty (eg walked Finn for an extra 15 minutes to let him enjoy the weather) I would recommend him to anyone who loved their pup!”
“Sophia was amazing with Loxi while I was away. She would come greet her every night and play with her as she got her ready for her walk. My doggie who is normally pretty sad when I am away was playful and happy the whole time in large part due to Sophia!!! :) From the meet and greet to the end of my vacation, Sophia put in so much care, attention and love into caring for my doggy I cannot express how much I appreciate it and and so grateful so her to have been cared for so well while I was away. I would definitely have Sophia walk my doggy again anytime!!”
“So incredibly helpful, went above and beyond for my dog. I would 100% use again. Really great with keeping you in the loop and being mindful in the heat”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with several years of pet-sitting experience and a dog of my own, so I know firsthand how important it is to feel confident in your dog’s care. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and has tons of fun while you’re away. I’d love to be your go-to person for stress-free pet care! I work a 9-5 remote job, which means I can be flexible with my schedule for walks and check-ins, especially when I don’t have meetings. I’m also able to work from your home if your pup needs extra company during the day. I’m available for evening walks or check-ins during the week and weekends as well. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! You can count on regular updates, so you’ll always know your pet is in good hands.
“Amazing! Such professionalism and attention to Harley’s needs. I highly recommend sharing Rosanna as a qualified Dog guru. Thank you Rosanna for helping with my babies happiness.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have a 3-year-old rescue, Hudson, who is my world, so I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust taking care of your dog. I’m comfortable with dogs of different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’m active and happy to do longer walks, but equally happy hanging out with a dog who prefers to relax at home. I’m reliable, attentive, and will follow whatever routine your dog is used to-from feeding and medications to specific walking instructions. And I’m always happy to send photos and updates while you’re away. work from home most days and have a pretty flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to fit walks and drop-ins into my day. I already structure my day around my own dog, Hudson, and I’m available during the week as well as on weekend Safety, trust & environment I’m a dog owner myself, so I know how important routines and specific instructions are. I’ll follow whatever your dog is used to when it comes to walks, feeding, medications, and general care, and I’m comfortable with dogs who may need a little extra patience. For dogs staying in my home, they’ll need to be comfortable around other dogs since I have my 3-year-old rescue, Hudson. He’s super loving, playful, and friendly and genuinely loves other dogs (and cats!). He’s always happy to have a new friend around.
“Minako was very easy to communicate with and responsive. She sent me a photo and a little report card of each walk (when it started when it ended, how many times my dog went to the bathroom)!”

On the day the boarding began Maria took the time to come to my apartment to help me carry all of Max's stuff to their place which was a huge help. Maria and Michael also took Max on many fun outings which he throughly enjoyed. They're both obviously dog lovers and I look forward to using their services again.”

About: I’ve had my own cats and one dog throughout my childhood. They are the best parts of life. In addition, I have walked and watched dogs and cats for my friends and neighbors since high school. Dogs of all kinds and size - from pit bulls to corgis. Their ages have range from puppy to senior dogs, so I have experience with the more specific needs of older furry friends. I’m currently taking a course for social media marketing, so I’m looking for part time opportunities. There would be nothing better than getting to spend my extra free time with your furry family members. The nature of my course (that I make my own schedule) will allow me to be extremely flexible with your hours throughout the day and evenings. It is imperative that a dog/cat’s specific needs are thoroughly understood so that they can be best cared for in their home or mine. It is a privilege to be in an animals life, and it is only right that we do right by them. Once I do extensive research into their needs and routine, I will make sure to replicate those needs and routines when they are in my care.
