“It has taken me over a week to be able to write this review & express my gratitude for Denise. She watched my senior dog & the unimaginable happened. She was with coco during her last hours & cared for her like she was her own. I would have never left had I thought this would happen, but I am so thankful that Coco enjoyed her last days with Denise & her daughter. I feel so guilty & horrible that her family had to endure this & yet she did her best to comfort me. There are no words to express how grateful I am for Denise & her compassion.”
“Delmy did a fantastic job of taking care of my boy. My dog was immediately comfortable in her presence, I received numerous pictures showing Ringo having a great time playing and getting walked and Delmy was great with communication and rapid response times. Highly recommended! Will use again!”
“This is the first time I used Veronique to care for my 3y/o Golden Retriever Pebbles for 10 days. The family was amazing with Pebbles. She got along amazingly well with the family. Their beautiful children are so sweet and played with her like they had her since she was a puppy. I received pictures of Pebbles everyday and they even gave her a spa bath because she was digging and rolled in the mud when it was raining. They are awesome. I would definitely use them again to take care of Pebbles.”
“We needed someone who will take care of my mother-in-law’s Gigi urgently for a few nights. She took us last minute and was very accommodating. There’s a certain kind of conviction when she said we’ll take care of her…and she did! She knows what she’s doing. I like that she updates us daily, responds really fast and event sent photos even without being asked. She’s not just a pro but with excellent customer service. Will definitely recommend her.”
“John (Jay) took wonderful care of my senior male boxer Gunnar! He really made my trip so much more enjoyable because of all the daily updates and pictures! My mind was at ease! Gunnar doesn’t spend a lot of time away from home, practically none, but now I feel very that he did so well with John and found his home away from home! Thank you so much!”
“We love Cynthia! She is kind and gentle! You can see that she has a love for animals. We were very comfortable with her and we felt safe to leave Paris with her. We will definitely Use Cynthia again!”
“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!”
“We are thrilled with our experience with John! This was our first time using this site, and he was amazing with our Benny. He kept us updated with pictures and videos, which made us feel at ease. Having his dog Dallas around was a definitely bonus. Thank you, John! We would love to work with you again and highly recommend you!”
“Christine was a great host, she accommodated all the special needs of our old lady. The big grassy yard is a huge plus as our pup is an outdoor lover. Thanks Christine, we'll be back!”
“Jinay was literally the best sitter ever!! I’m always weary about leaving my pittie with separation anxiety with someone new but she just went above and beyond! She knew exactly how to deal with it and went above and beyond with her care. She even did a training day for her and another dog!! She sent me amazing adorable pics and vid’s all throughout her stay and I could see my dog was just having the best time! So glad I chose her :)”
“We could not have been happier with the care and attentiveness from Vanessa and her family. We left our dog with them for almost a week and received updates pictures, and videos each day. We would definitely rebook with Vanessa in the future!”
“Jennifer was amazing! She took such great care of my dog Dunkin’. She kept me updated throughout his stay with messages, pictures and videos. She went above and beyond my expectations. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Amazing family home, Diana and Mike are perfect sitters and the peace of mind they provided with the constant pics and updates truly made my trip that much better. Highly recommend!”
“We had dropped our dog with Wenxu for 10 days during our travel. They looked after Neo really well and he came back home a happy dog. Wenxu made sure to keep us posted daily on Neo and sent us tons of photos. Would definitely recommend her for future.”
“Gerald did a great job with my senior foster, Pam. She deals with significant anxiety and back-leg pain, so I was nervous about leaving her in a new space with a stranger, but I had nothing to worry about. She settled in quickly and even felt comfortable enough to trick Gerald into getting off the couch so she could steal his spot. Although she’s usually reluctant to be active, she went on several walks with him. Gerald was also great about sending regular photos and updates, and very flexible when I ran late for pickup. Highly recommended for anyone with a senior or high-needs dog.”
“Freedom was a huge help when we had to book at the last minute due to a family emergency. They were very nice to Cleo and accommodated her food needs and energy level. They also made a very cute portrait of Cleo and gifted her a bandana, which she is still wearing and loving. I highly recommend Freedom to others looking for a sitter.”
“Jillian was a great sitter for Romeo! He was happy and snoozy when I picked him up. Jillian was super responsive with updates. I had a few travel snafus on the way and Jillian was very understanding and flexible.”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets since I was young and I have always loved doing it! I myself have one cat and one dog. I’m working part-time and in school, so I am doing this on the side as an extra source of income as a college student and a way to express my love and passion towards animals. My job is in its slow season for the next couple of months, so my schedule is very open besides classes. I can tend to any needs necessary for your pets. I am willing to go above and beyond to meet your animals needs and make sure they are comfortable when being in my care, and I will always let you know if they are not.
“Jassah is the best bunny sitter we’ve used! She really cared about our buns, updated us consistently with pictures, answered all our questions about them, and does free roaming. All of this made us feel so relaxed knowing they were taken care of and receiving lots of love and attention. She even gave them Critical Care before we picked them up since she knew they’d be in the car for a few hours! As any bunny owner knows, finding pet sitters to trust is really hard since most aren’t truly rabbit-savvy, but she really understands how to care for them and our boys loved her! We can’t recommend her enough, she’s the best! Five stars!”

About: I am a retired elementary school teacher and have taught children for the past 32 years. I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, and am eager to care for them when they are alone. I am available throughout the day and for planned vacations. I’m retired and am available to go to your home and care for your dog. I don’t have a dog of my own anymore and am eager to play, care and walk your dog. I’m available to feed, walk and play with your dog. I’m happy to go to your home but also have a fenced in yard where your dog can run and play with me.
About: I love spending time with dogs, I prioritize going above and beyond to ensure your fur baby feels comfortable and loved while you’re away. I provide frequent updates with photos and videos throughout the day to keep you informed about your pet’s activities and well-being. I have plenty of time to play with your pups!

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.
“I am very happy to write a 5☆review for Dan and Denise. I first met them in July 2017.I had inquired about their services for my previous dog and loved what I saw. Unfortunately, my Dog suddenly passed away and I did not use them . I did however save their contact information and now 9 months later , I have a new puppy. As soon as I needed daycare I called them up. Bruno spent a full day with them in their house and parklike backyard. He had a great stay and will be coming back on a regular basis. I am very happy with the care he received !”
“Jillian took a last minute request for us and was extremely nice. She was kind, provided updates when requested, and also was extremely flexible with our time. But a note, the bio does say non-smoking household and our dog did come home smelling like cigarette smoke, but other than that the experience was great.”
“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’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.
“My dog is so comfortable with Cynthia! Although there are big dogs at her house, she has gating throughout the house and yard to ensure that a little dog is always feeling safe!”
“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”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“Theresa has been absolutely amazing, she takes care of Franny as if she were her own. She provides such a great environment and I’m fortunate to have her take care of my fur baby.”

I was born in Puerto Rico and I currently live in Long Island, I have a beautiful daughter, and 13 years old son, all who loves animals just as much as I do. I have a adorable 11 year old English Cocker spaniel named Snowflake , 3 year old French Bulldog named Lexie , 2 year old French Bulldog named Diesel and an Sphynx Cat named Theo. Your dog will get all the love and attention that it would need. Looking forward to taking care of your wonderful pets. Your doggie will wake up to breakfast and playtime in the yard followed by a full day of love and fun! During nap time, your dog will be enjoying their private doggie suite. When we created our private doggie suite, I was thinking of all the things I would want our dogs to have if we were away. Our checklist of amenities include: - private couch/futon for lounging - clean fresh water bowls 24/7 - several breaks for play time outside - 24 hour recorded camera monitoring in - secured locked doors -AC and/or heat & fans with temp alerts - TV and ALEXA/echo music - fenced secure yard - easily cleaned floors **rates are for 24 hour periods.

Here are some fun activities I can do with the dogs I watch: Walking is a great way to provide dogs with exercise and mental stimulation. I Choose different routes and places to walk, such as a local park, beach, or hiking trail. Most dogs love playing fetch. I can take your dog or dogs with your permission to a fenced dog's park and play a game of fetch with a ball or frisbee. Dogs love to play with toys, such as squeaky toys or tug ropes.
“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.”
“Pam was a great camp (dog) leader for our 2 pups! She was excellent in the pre-petting sitting communication! 5 Star in getting us prepared and understanding our needs. Highly recommend her and our dogs were well cared for!”
“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!”

Their beautiful children are so sweet and played with her like they had her since she was a puppy.

“You can stop looking for a dog sitter here Alex is great I've already asked him if he could do this time next year. His communication was great he answers within minutes he sent pictures and videos.

“Laurie and her family took amazing care of our dogs, Blue and Sky, overnight. They treated them like part of the family and kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell our babies were happy, safe, and well loved. We highly recommend Laurie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Couldn't be more thrilled ...our 1 year old Shih Tzu who is still learning and is an overactive puppy can be a bit much to watch all day; so we were very concerned about leaving her with strangers overnight. However Theresa was fantastic not only did she allow us to bring all Peanut's stuff (pack and play crib/playpen and tons of toys, pillow, blanket, doggy dishes etc.) but she understood the fact that because this was all new to our young dog she especially took pains to know what Peanut's needs were. At first Peanut did not even want to enter the home and shied away from Theresa but Theresa took the time to win over Peanut and by the time we left her she was playing with her toys. Theresa sent us pictures of Peanut playing and having fun. We were especially happy knowing Theresa only takes one dog at a time in her home because our dog is small and young and doesn't know how to socialize with other pets (our vet wouldn't allow this until all her shots were completed) and Peanut is from a home with only adults and no small children we worried that other sitters who take in more than one dog or had their own pet might become a problem. However Theresa's policy of only one dog at a time who also doesn't have her own pet, and doesn't have numerous children which might be a concern for pets unused to active kids. Theresa's dog sitting arrangement was an ideal win win for us and Peanut. She will become our dogs sitter from now on as Peanut loved her and her family and now we can relax whenever we need to go out of town or just need a sitter for a day. Thank you Theresa and family you were the best!”
