“My pup has the best time with Denise, it's like going away to camp. He has all these other dogs to play with. He has a beautiful backyard and a beautiful couch. He has a blast! Thank you, Denise. I don't know what I would do without you. XOXOX :)”
“Veronique and Johnathan took very good care of our dog Kulfi. Kulfi loves to be with other dogs loves to be out in the yard. She had a great time. Their dogs got along well and Kulfi was at home over the 11 days stay. She wasn’t tired or cranky or stressed when we brought her back home as was the case with a couple other boarders. Thank you Veronique and Johnathan for taking great care of our baby!”
“Delmy was amazing! She took awesome care of our puppy, Opie. She was extremely responsive and sent many updates throughout the stay with photos and messages. I definitely would trust her and her family to take care of Opie again! 10/10!!!”
“John was kind and attentive to our two dogs! He communicated well and was accommodating to our schedule. He ensured they ate at the proper time and provided plenty of updates, pictures and snuggles!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Brenda watching Beaux! She was incredibly communicative and sent daily updates and videos/photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell how knowledgeable and experienced she is with dogs, and most importantly, how much genuine love and attention she gives them. Beaux was so happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She even kindly kept him an additional night for us because our travel plan changed and we appreciated that so much. We would absolutely trust her with Beaux again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and flexible sitter!”
“Sandy is the most caring dog sitter. It is nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about my dog. Also, Sandy’s dog Lacy is a great companion for my dog Nora. Nora is always so happy to see Sandy and Lacy. Sandy responds instantly to text, sends pictures, and treats Nora as her own. Her house is dog friendly and Nora is welcome on the couch to snuggle. I feel blessed to have found such a loving sitter. Respectfully, Jennifer Pena Proce”
“Literally a staycation for our pup. Vanessa went above and beyond with everything !! We received pics and updates daily which put us at ease on vacation. A real home away from home for any dog lucky enough to get time with their family!”
“Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Jennifer was such a great sitter and certainly deserves the star sitter status! She was extremely accommodating with our doggy meet up to make sure our puppy would be a great fit (and also extremely patient with Maya’s high energy!). From drop off to pick-up, Jennifer was in contact with us the whole time providing us with the updates and pictures she knew we needed! It was so difficult to be away from our fur baby for as long as we were but we felt comfortable with where she was and would 100% book with Jennifer again in the future!”
“I am thrilled that I found such a caring and patient dog lover to care for my 2 babies/ dogs! Jodie was professional , sent me pics & videos everyday and has a true passion for animals ?”
“Wendy took such care of my little puppy Parker. Always stayed in communication and sent allot of photos to keep me up to date on how he was doing. I would definitely use her services again.”
“Kerri was a fantastic sitter for my active lab. She kept me updated and sent tons of pictures daily of him having the time of his life. They cared for him as if he was their own and I couldn’t be more grateful. Macallan cannot wait to stay with Kerri and her family again!”

“Jassah was the absolute best! ?Such a kind spirit and nurturing energy. Our kitten Little definitely grew attached to her during her stay, because she didn’t want to leave her. Jassah made sure to maintain contact with us every day while we were away, sending photo updates and showing enrichment activities. I have never felt more peace of mind with an animal sitter as much as I have with her. Our kitten can be a little rambunctious, but Jassah was patient and able to give her attention. I one hundred percent would recommend Jassah to anyone and will definitely be using her services again. Thank you! ?”

“We had such an amazing experience with Veronique! She took excellent care of our golden retriever Kennedy. We were provided frequent updates with photos and video and the communication was so easy. Veronique was very quick in getting back to us which was great. Kennedy had such a fun time and we would love to have Kennedy return! Highly recommend!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Dan and Denise! The setting is absolutely beautiful: a private home with a huge, well maintained backyard and plenty of space for the dogs to safely run and play. You can tell how much care and attention goes into creating a comfortable and safe environment for everyone. Dan and Denise are fantastic: kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about dogs. I truly appreciated receiving updates throughout the day, including photo and videos, which gave me much peace of mind seeing my pups were happy! I highly recommend it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Had an initial mixup at drop off of no answer at the house, but problem was resolved after texts and a call to Rover, who was quick to help resolve the problem. But the day worked out great, and Leo seemed to have had a great time playing with Cynthia’s dog. He came home a happy and tired dog. We would use Cynthia again.Thank you, Cynthia”

I am available for boarding and/or for just a fun day care at anytime. I maintain a flexible schedule to maintain your pet’s needs. With a fenced in yard, I can provide regular exercise to help your pet stay fit, strong and keep those tails wagging. In my home your pet will have a safe and cozy place to stay.
“So incredibly pleased with Laurie’s services! She watched my 10-month old bulldog, Augie, for the day and he had a blast! I know this because Laurie was kind enough to send me pictures throughout the day of Augie playing with the other dogs she was watching! Laurie is incredibly accommodating and very quick in responding to messages. When I went to her home to pick Augie up in the evening, he was ready to go with a special “doggy” bag of treats! Very sweet gesture! We will definitely be using her services again for doggy day care and also boarding needs! Thank you Laurie and Cliff for all the extra love and attention you gave to Augie!! Sincerely, The Drago Family”
“More **STARS** NEEDED for Jillian!! Always a great experience for my older pup;) Jillian is very in tune w her needs, communicates well and i am lucky to have her care for our dog while I work.”
“My puppy LOVES Eliana. He is so excited to see her, he runs from the car to her front door. Eliana treats him like her own and sends lots of pictures and updates on his day. She is also very flexible with my schedule.”
“Jennifer is amazing!! It’s my first time using Rover for my puppy and she put all my nerves at ease. She sent daily pictures and updates which I really appreciated. Noodle can’t wait to go back! Thank you again Jennifer!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently own four dogs: two adult Belgian Malinois, a German Shepherd puppy, and a senior Shih Tzu mix. I have crate trained and potty trained multiple puppies and am familiar with the time, patience, and consistency required for successful training. Through caring for both high-energy working breeds and senior dogs, I have experience managing different exercise needs, routines, temperaments, and levels of care. I am committed to providing a safe, structured, and positive environment for every dog in my care. I am home most of the time and provide full-time care for the dogs in my home. Because I am available throughout the day, dogs receive regular supervision. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely go outside for potty breaks and exercise. I am comfortable reinforcing crate training when needed and believe crates are a valuable tool for safety and routine. My own dogs are crate trained and are crated when they cannot be directly supervised to ensure their safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. I provide a structured, safe, and supervised environment while making sure each dog receives plenty of attention, care, and opportunities to play and relax.
About: I’m a retired professional with a calm, patient nature and a genuine love for animals. My sister has two dogs, one of whom is a super senior with special needs, so I’m very comfortable providing extra attention, patience, and thoughtful care. With a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to one-on-one care, I enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for dogs and cats. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication routines, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering reliable care and true peace of mind to pet parents. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a retired professional, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around a pet’s needs rather than the other way around. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, medication schedules, and quiet companionship. I enjoy building consistent routines that help pets feel secure and comfortable, and I’m able to give them my full attention without feeling rushed. This flexibility also allows me to adapt easily to senior pets or those with special needs who may require extra time, patience, or monitoring. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs—whether in my home or in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water, regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m especially attentive to senior and special-needs pets, including administering medications as directed and keeping a calm, consistent environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and space, making sure pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also keep pet parents updated with check-ins and notes so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Barney had a good day with Jodie and played with her other dogs. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day and was given a goody bag when he left. Would highly recommend Jodie ..”
“Cece loves going to Catherine’s house for daycare! Catherine always sends pictures of Cece having a great day playing with the others and I know I can trust her to watch her. I was nervous because she is a small, young puppy but now she has been attending daycare for a few months and I am comfortable leaving her there without worry.”
“I can’t thank Michelle enough for the amazing job she did watching my 6-month-old pitbull! My pup is super high energy and was a bit nervous at first, but Michelle made her feel right at home. She was so patient, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. I really appreciated the updates and pictures she sent throughout the visit—it gave me so much peace of mind. I’m especially grateful that she was able to help on such short notice. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Brenda was so amazing with our Rocky! As a new dog mom I was so nervous about leaving him with someone but Brenda put me soo much at ease! So many pictures and videos updates really made me so comfortable. I will highly recommend Brenda! Your pup will be completely taken care of.”
“Amber was amazing—truly a lifesaver for a last-minute daycare! She took great care of Miller and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I 100% recommend her, and Miller can’t wait to go back for more fun!”
About: What sets me apart is my professional experience as a dog trainer specializing in behavior modification and working with challenging dogs, including reactive, fearful, and aggressive cases. I understand canine body language, behavior, and communication, allowing me to safely manage situations that many sitters may not be comfortable handling. I provide a structured, calm environment with clear boundaries, enrichment, and individualized care tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether caring for puppies, adult dogs, or seniors, my focus is on building confidence, reinforcing good behavior, and ensuring every dog feels safe, secure, and understood while in my care. Pet care is my full-time career. As a professional dog trainer and pet sitter, caring for dogs is a daily part of my routine. I work closely with both pets and their owners to provide training, exercise, structure, and companionship. My goal is to help create happier, well-balanced dogs while making life easier and more enjoyable for their families. I prioritize safety, structure, and trust in every interaction. I follow each pet’s routine, provide appropriate exercise and enrichment, maintain a secure environment, and communicate regularly with owners. As a professional dog trainer and sitter, I focus on creating a positive experience that keeps pets happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I have taken care of my dogs and my friends and families pets for over 10 years! I love our furry friends and am great at walking and feeding them however much they may need! I am currently working but I have a pretty open schedule for this summer. Please let me know which days you would like to work together and I will be sure to accommodate as best I can. Since my service will be at your home, I intend to take the pets out as needed and making sure that I stay with them whenever they go out. When on walks I make sure to be aware of my surroundings so that both your pets and I stay safe.
“Thank you Nick for taking such good care of our Ginger while we were away on vacation. My husband and I really appreciate it. We’ll have to book some more walks…Ginger misses you already!”
About: My entire life I was surrounded with many (many!) animals, with emphasis on dogs. I am the one your dog might identify passing by you, and pull you towards me for me to give him/her some love- that’s one of the reasons my friends call me the dog- whisperer. I love those amazing furry animals and love taking good care of them. If you are looking for a responsible, loving, and caring doggie sitter, I am here for you ☺ My weekly routine is very flexible so I have plenty of time to spend and take care of your furry friend/s. I also offer boarding on the weekend. for boarding times please contact me to schedule. I have a 14 year old pug and we live a block from Central Park, where we love to taking long walk (not as long as they were before though due to his vision disabilities). My apartment has stairs and dogs are allowed on my furniture.
“Melissa was fantastic with our Dalmatian puppy Spot! Our furry baby adored his walks with Melissa and looked forward to them every day. Melissa took the time to understand our puppy's needs and always gave us updates for each walk, along with photos. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a dog walker. Thanks so much, Melissa!”
“She is such a sweetheart. My dog loved her. After she dropped him off he stayed at the door for 2 hours waiting for her return. I look forward to setting up more dog walks and boarding services with Jassah.”

“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!”
“We had a good experience with Alejandro and I can’t thank him enough. He accepted our dog, Bleau very last minute after another sitter no-showed, which already meant so much to us. He took the time to introduce Bleau to his dog slowly and properly, which made us feel really comfortable right away. Throughout her stay, he sent daily videos and updates, so we always knew she was doing well. We even accidentally left her bowls behind, and when we went back to pick them up, Bleau was so excited to see him again — which says everything about how well she was treated. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches.”
“Yaina is so thoughtful and caring we will trust her with our pup anytime! She gave frequent updates and cared for our dog like her own. We cannot thank her enough for making the first time we left our dog for vacation absolutely stress free. Would and will recommend her to anyone.”
“I cannot say enough good things about the care Freedom gave to my senior dog, Chunky. He’s an older dog with some anxiety issues, and Freedom handled him with so much patience, kindness, and calm energy. They went above and beyond. They took him to the dog park not once but twice, made homemade treats, and even gifted him a sweet new bandana. When I came home, I could tell Chunky had been genuinely happy and well cared for. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your pet, but I feel completely at ease leaving Chunky with Freedom anytime. I’m so thankful we found them, and I’ll absolutely be booking again.”
“I’m very happy for leaving my dog with Laurie and her family Woody seems to be very happy and they taking care of him super well Tku so much and we will see you soon”
“Jen did a great job with our beagle Daisy. She was inquisitive regarding Daisy’s needs, schedule, and likes/dislikes. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the time and even got Daisy to give a big smile on one of her pictures. We will definitely use her again.”
