“I highly recommend Karla for anyone’s pet care needs. She was friendly, responsive and a delight to work with. She provided daily updates on my dog’s day with pictures. I look forward to working with her again!”

“Sam was absolutely wonderful with Kulfi! She paid attention to all of our instructions and made sure to give her tons of affection and play time. Sam sent lots of cute pics too so I knew Kulfi was doing well! Sam was also very accommodating and actually came to pick Kulfi up since she lives close by. I can’t wait to book with Sam again soon!”
“Rachel was amazing! I truly appreciate the updates each evening. It put me at ease while I was away. She was very observant of Toby’s behaviors and his comfort level which I appreciated. Toby & I can’t wait to book again. Thanks again Rachel ❤️”

“Always a pleasure with Michael, very good communicator, great attention to detail, no issues with him giving medicine or walking our dog who is leash reactive and can be tough to walk. Thanks again, Michael!”

“Erica was the best! I was so comfortable leaving my puppy with her. He had the best time playing with all the dogs! And all the updates and pics and videos were so great. I was so relaxed while away on vacation. Highly recommend Erica. Reed will be going back for sure next time we go away!!!”

“Judith was great with my dog. She kept me updated on his experience via pictures and text. She was very friendly and inviting. I felt like I've know her for years. Her entire family was involved with my pet. She bathed my dog with the most amazing shampoo. It seemed to last for a week.”

“Ravon was fantastic! Ziggy really warmed up to her and her dogs and had a great time. She was very responsive and shared pictures and updates periodically. Would book her again!”


“What wonderful people! Felt totally at ease w letting them pet sit our dog and loved how communicative they were. Going to use again and would recommend them for anyone looking for a pet sitter”

“Margarita and Cris took good care of our dog. Margarita is very polite, kind and responsive. While we were away she texted us pictures and updates of our pup, which was a really thoughtful touch. We definitely recommend her !”

“Lenford was incredibly communicative and caring for my anxious girl. I was very nervous to leave her, but he took excellent care of my baby and will be my go-to going forward!”

“Vanessa was very flexible with pick up and drop off time and is extremely friendly. She sent a lot of updates throughout my pup's stay with her, so I was never worried or wondering what and/or how he was doing. He was super happy when I left him and was happy at pick up as well. Overall, he looked like he had a ton of fun with the other dogs & with Vanessa. 10/10 experience!”

“This was our second stay with Margaret and her daughter and it was a wonderful experience from drop off to pick up! Junior has some behavorial "quirks" and Margaret knew how to keep him happy and safe. Her photos and updating communications made it easy for me to enjoy my vacation with family without worrying or thinking about how Junior was doing. I know I found the perfect place for Junior when I have to leave him home. I intend to book with Margaret again and would ABSOLUTELY recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable caring sitter who treats your dog or cat like they're theirs!”

“AMAZING! Took care of my wonderful puppy, even taught him how to stop scratching people for food. Consistently sent photos and if I ever have to board again I know who's my number 1 pick!”

“Labor Day weekend was the first time using a doggy sitter for my lovely cavapoo, Brooklyn. I was very nervous at first. I didn't know how my dog would react when I was away being that she suffers from anxiety separation. Ziwei made me feel comfortable and my dog too. She kept me informed from day one. I also received pictures and videos. When I picked up Brooklyn she was very happy and she looked well taken care of. I'm so very glad to find a loving, caring and skilled doggy sitter being that my husband and I travel often. I give her a 5 star rating and I highly recommend her especially if you are a nervous fur mommy as I was. I know next time I use her service I will no longer be nervous because I know my dog will be in good hands. 🐶”

“An AMAZING sitter. He is quickly becoming family. My dog LEAPS out of the car as soon as he sees him. I feel great going away knowing that my baby is being well taken care of. He is responsive and communicates often.”

“My Coco loved her stay with Doris. This was her first time with an extended overnight boarding and she enjoyed her. In the pictures and videos she looked very happy with her cuddle time. Would book with Doris again.”

“I recommend Lina so much. It was pretty easy to communicate with her, and she tried her best to find ways to work out certain things. My dog looks totally fine after I want to pick him up. Although a little sad because he probably misses her 😂. She always updated me with photos and videos of my dog everyday! 5 stars definitely recommend for others.”

“I needed to find a last minute sitter as my usual one is unavailable. She is local to me which is great. We arranged for a meet and greet with our dogs and all went well (her dogs are so sweet!). She is very accommodating to my dog's needs and after picking her up the next day, she was so exhausted from a great time with Lauren and her family (humans and pets). We will definitely be booking with Lauren again!”

About: Former dog owner and shelter volunteer with over 15 years of experience. I’m a go-to sitter for friends and I’m an active runner on the Rockaway boardwalk. I'm very comfortable and capable with all temperaments and energy levels. I have a hybrid work schedule, where I work from home 3 days during the week, and would be able to take breaks for walks. Weekends I am free. I live in a 4th floor walk up that allows pets. Other tenants have dogs. I live less than 1 block away from the boardwalk and beach for walks.

“Thank you so much, Ariella! We really appreciate you taking care of the cats during our vacation. Your professionalism, thoughtfulness, and dedication do not go unnoticed. My family is beyond satisfied with your service and we are so relieved to have a kind, caring individual like you in the area. Thanks again!”


“Jacquelyne is amazing and takes wonderful care of my difficult cat! She’s my go-to sitter, and I always know my cat is in great hands with her. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve raised my dog since she was 3 months old. She battled an autoimmune disease, and I cared for her through medications, special diets, and recovery. That experience gave me a deep understanding of medical care, patience, and what it means to truly show up for a pet. I treat every dog like my own—with love, attentiveness, and a calm, caring presence. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work as a substitute paraprofessional with the Department of Education, which gives me a flexible schedule during the school year and full availability in the summer. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for—whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company throughout the day. With my open summer schedule, I’m especially available for longer stays or more frequent visits. Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide consistent, loving care tailored to each pet’s routine. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, clean space, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. In a client’s home, I maintain their routine and create a familiar, stress-free environment. I treat every pet like family and ensure they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times.

About: I first began cat sitting at 16 when a friend of mine travelled out of the country on holiday. Although I have experience in caring for strays in the neighborhood I grew up in, I would say caring for my friend's cat was the first official experience I had where I was not just feeding a cat but cleaning up after it (cleaning the litter box), providing light grooming sessions (brushing) and entertainment through puzzles, toys and enjoying some down time (cuddles). My first job at the private veterinary practice as I got older allowed me to expand my knowledge of basic cat care from feeding and brushing to administering oral or topical medication. Additionally, moving onto an overnight supervisory position at a daycare facility-with special attention to it's "cattery" furthered my experience with understanding feline behavior as well as effective cleaning methods for maintaining their temporary away-from-home arrangements.
“Brittany was very professional. Followed all instructions. Easy to cummunicate. Our cat was happy to see her every day. Thank You Brittany! It was pleasure to work with you!”


“What a gem! I’d trust this woman with everything. She is so kind and sweet. Went above and beyond with our pets: sent us pictures, a brief text daily, washed and swept after the kitties. She’s a vet-tech also, so in an emergency she knows where to go. Worth every dollar plus tip for peace of mind and happy, healthy animals in our own home??”

“Stephanie does a great job with our cats! Even our shy cat seems to like her. She gives good updates that let us just enjoy our trip without worrying about them. I’ve booked with her twice and plan to rebook in the future.”


“I was really nervous leaving my Sylvester because I never did anything like this before but I must say I would definitely use them again I felt like they were family instead of a sitter for my boy they really were happy to care for him and I was happy I chose them it made my first experience a pleasant one”

About: I have been caring for dogs ever since I can remember and in particular I started caring for them professionally around 5 years ago. I have yet to meet a dog I could not handle, even ones that people would call big and scary. I believe this comes from a firmly held belief that if you treat a dog right, they will stand by you forever. I am experienced with dogs from young to old, small to large, and docile to super hyper. I attempt to accommodate any and all requests to the best of my abilities. In addition I would be more than happy to meet a prospective client free of charge before watching their pet. In general, I am available nightly starting at 7 PM except for Fridays where I am unavailable. Wednesday nights and the Saturday nights I am available from 9:30 PM and onwards. Sundays, I am available all day. In general, I do not watch dogs in my own home. In regards to the pet Owner’s home I do whatever I can to accommodate all safety requests and needs.

“Bernadette was so kind and thorough while with my puppy. She sent me updates of what they did and I got a cute little photo! She knows my puppy is having an issue with one of her legs right now so she took her on a small walk just to get some energy out still and of course for potty. She communicated well with me throughout the hour. She is also so flexible with availability! I would highly recommend booking her for your puppy or adult dog:)”

“I had the pleasure of having Judith care for my dog for the day and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about what she does. My pup was well taken care of, and I received regular updates and photos, which really made me feel better. My dog looked so entertained and happy in the videos she sent me. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. My dog was so pooped after he got home and slept like a baby. Will inquire about her services again.”

“Vivian really took care of Jayce like her own pooch. She’s very mindful and attentive to Jayce, especially with his anxiety she is very caring and really made him feel comfortable!”


“Rebooked Sarah and plan on doing it again. She’s amazing and kind, and I feel so at peace knowing my baby girl is so well taken care of! Rosie always has so much fun!”

“Kitty was amazing! We dropped our puppy River off in the morning. She was so responsive and gave us so many pictures and updates throughout the day! At the end of the day she provided us with a summary of all of River's naps, and potty breaks! Couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our puppy!”

“Thai was great and able to step in when our sitter canceled last minute. Thai was thorough and asked great questions to make sure this was a good fit for my dog Max. Max had a great time; would def have Thai watch him again!”

“Doris is a very sweet and caring person. She took a great care of my Molly. She gave my girl lots of attention and took her out for walks. I’ll definitely get back to Doris for more help with my girl.”

“Lina provided exceptional care for my baby, Viper. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. She not only tended to his basic needs but also showered him with love and attention. It was evident that she genuinely cared for his well-being and treated him as if he were her own. Throughout his stay, Lina kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing Viper was happy and content. Additionally, her knowledge and expertise in handling dogs reassured me that Viper was receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Lina to anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter.”

About: For most of my life I have cared for many dogs as a pet owner and a dog sitter for friends, family and clients alike. Currently I freelance as a media professor and my schedule fluctuates from week to week so its always best to check my calendar for availability. The dogs will receive all my love and attention. I thrive off their unconditional love and I love to see them happy. Simple as that.
“Vanessa is a gem - responsive, polite, clean, caring, loving, and always available. We were looking for a pet sitter who could provide a loving and stable environment for our pup with separation anxiety, as we wanted to reduce his reliance on medication. Vanessa exceeded our expectations, providing a calm and nurturing presence that has greatly benefited our Blaze. We're grateful to have found her, and her care has given us peace of mind. If you're seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter, Vanessa is an excellent choice.”

“What a lovely person - I’d give her 100 stars if that were an option. To explain, I had to go into my office LAST minute and at 1230 am it was my first time using this app and I posted requests for someone to basically dog sit for the same day- she was immediately responsive even though it was a last minute request. I saw she had already gotten consistent great reviews and I was worried to leave my 7 week old shih tsu (like a baby) with anyone ) -Jameeka she handles all dog ages - she was responsive, kept me updated throughout the day. I even got stuck in traffic on the way for pick up and was late she was fine. The top 3 reasons I give Jameeka 5 stars is because 1) she is the opposite of stressful and worked with my unique needs, 2) she has great communication skills snd 3) it is clear she is an expert - my puppy was returned perfectly she gave me some updates and my puppy was happy and fell right asleep because Jameeka ensured my puppy got play time and exercise time - thank you !”

“Lauren was very accommodating when I had to reschedule my appointment and I was happy we could work out alternate plans. I was kept updated throughout Albert's stay and will reach out to Lauren again.”

About: Unleash the Love: Transforming Pet Care into a Tail-Wagging Adventure!

“This was my fur baby, Milo’s first time attending daycare. Initially, I was concerned about how he would adjust to a new environment. The fact that Stephanie provided me with pictures and contacted me prior to his stay made me feel more comfortable leaving him with her. It was a pleasant surprise to see Stephanie had created a welcoming environment and her fur baby was also present, which I felt was an excellent opportunity for Milo to be able to socialize with other dogs. In addition to toys and treats, Stephanie provided Milo with everything he needed to feel comfortable. Additionally, Stephanie sent many updates and pictures of Milo throughout the day. As soon as I picked him up, I could tell he had enjoyed his stay and that he would be returning in the future. Stephanie, thank you so much for taking such excellent care of Milo!”

“Rachel followed instructions very well and was so patient with Chimmy and Chammy. I am so grateful for her care and attention for my furbabies! Highly recommend her!”

About: Former dog owner and shelter volunteer with over 15 years of experience. I’m a go-to sitter for friends and I’m an active runner on the Rockaway boardwalk. I'm very comfortable and capable with all temperaments and energy levels. I have a hybrid work schedule, where I work from home 3 days during the week, and would be able to take breaks for walks.

“Ariella was great! She was able to get to my Sumo on very short notice after cancellation by another service, which provided me much relief while at work. Sumo got a nice long walk, a belly rub (which she loves) and fresh water!!”

“I received a video right away. My dog, Lucy, adapted to Brittany right away. Lucy is usually timid around new people, but was attached to Brittany with no problem! Will definitely be reaching out to Brittany again!”

About: I differentiate myself by offering specialized skills like administering medication, handling medical emergencies, and providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. Building trust through expertise and professionalism is key in communicating effectively in order to deliver the best possible care. Additionally, my own experience with my dog has also granted me the ability to understand and meet such needs as well as the emotional needs of any pet, and to establish a trusted relationship with both pet and owner! I am currently a per diem part-time nanny to a family in New Jersey while attending online college classes; however, the alignment of both schedules allows me the flexibility to include my passion for pet care! I am flexible and available most weekdays between 9AM-2PM and weekends between 10AM-7PM. My work experience in animal welfare in clinical and boarding facilities allows me to apply what I have learned into what I can do. As an overnight supervisor in a doggy daycare environment, pets are cared for by providing a safe and stimulating environment, ensuring their well-being, and offering socialization opportunities with other dogs. This includes activities such as playtime, walks, feeding, and monitoring their behavior whereas in a clinical setting, caring for pets involves monitoring vital signs, administering treatments, conducting medical procedures, and providing post-operative care. It also includes maintaining cleanliness, following strict protocols, and ensuring a comfortable environment for the animals. Although not as extensive in daycare or clinical facilities, in-home pet care allows for individualized attention where needed as needed without the external stressors of a constantly changing environment. In-home care involves the basics of pet welfare and includes providing food, water, exercise, and companionship. Additionally, administering medication, following specific care instructions, and maintaining a safe environment are crucial, all of which I can provide based on my background and experience.
About: When I was a kid I dreamed of getting a dog, but my brother's allergies meant that was out of the question. My solution to this was volunteering to walk my friends' dogs or offering to pet sit whenever I could. I put up flyers in my busy apartment building and started getting some steady clients, which quickly became one of my favorite after school activities. I’ve also had the incredible opportunity to work on a sanctuary that specialized in caring for animals with behavioral and special needs where I was really able to expand on my skills and put them to the test. My love for all animals drives me to provide the best care for every pet I meet. Caring for your beloved pets brings me joy and I would love to have the opportunity to help. My work schedule varies, but I'm typically available after 8am. I'll follow whatever routines you usually do at home to help make your fur babies feel at ease. However you typically care for them is how I'll try my best to go about it.

“From a slightly crazy dog mom, leaving Pepper with a stranger was so hard for me- I was super nervous and felt like I wouldn’t enjoy my trip because I’d be worrying about her. Within the first day away, my worries were totally gone- Steven was so kind and communicative, he sent so many pictures, reassured me, and was just all around wonderful. I was wishing for a sign that she’d be okay when I left her, so if you’re reading this review and feeling the same way take this as your sign!! Thank you so much Steven!!”

“Yiqi was great. Sent plenty of pics and I saw Eli was very happy in his surroundings. She also took him for daily park walks where she played fetch with him and allowed him to run and work off energy. Eli was allowed on the bed and the furniture which he loves. I will use Yiqi and again and highly recommend her!!!”


“What wonderful people! Felt totally at ease w letting them pet sit our dog and loved how communicative they were. Going to use again and would recommend them for anyone looking for a pet sitter”

“Vanessa was very flexible with pick up and drop off time and is extremely friendly. She sent a lot of updates throughout my pup's stay with her, so I was never worried or wondering what and/or how he was doing. He was super happy when I left him and was happy at pick up as well. Overall, he looked like he had a ton of fun with the other dogs & with Vanessa. 10/10 experience!”

“This was our second stay with Margaret and her daughter and it was a wonderful experience from drop off to pick up! Junior has some behavorial "quirks" and Margaret knew how to keep him happy and safe. Her photos and updating communications made it easy for me to enjoy my vacation with family without worrying or thinking about how Junior was doing. I know I found the perfect place for Junior when I have to leave him home. I intend to book with Margaret again and would ABSOLUTELY recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable caring sitter who treats your dog or cat like they're theirs!”

“Renzo took great care of my little Xina while I was away. This was the first time I left my dog for an extended period of time and Renzo made me feel at ease from the moment I dropped her off in his care. He sent tons of photos and videos daily and I knew my pup was sad to leave his care. I think she loved him more than me! I will definitely be using Renzo's services again.”


“Iwona took wonderful care of our dog while we were away and gave us real peace of mind. She kept us updated throughout the weekend and sent photos, which we always appreciate. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter!”

“An AMAZING sitter. He is quickly becoming family. My dog LEAPS out of the car as soon as he sees him. I feel great going away knowing that my baby is being well taken care of. He is responsive and communicates often.”

“Ashley was great! She took excellent care of my very large dog (120 lbs) and was incredibly patient and attentive. When my dog experienced anxiety and wasn't eating, Ashley helped comfort and reassure her. She also kept me updated throughout the stay by sending regular messages, pictures, and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away.”


“Ekaterina took the best care of our dog, Charlie. She communicated with us daily, keeping us in touch with our Charlie’s day. Charlie looked so happy and comfortable which made us even happier and more comfortable. We’re grateful that we found someone who can give us peace of mind when we go away and have to leave Charlie behind. We will definitely look for Ekaterina again for any future stays.”

“Heading out of town and I was in a jam - I needed a sitter that lived close by and seemed trustworthy. Worried as I normally have family/friends to watch Danny for me this felt like a BIG ask. Jonisha graciously accepted my request and was very accommodating, even helping my dog through his anxiety as he doesn’t have a great appetite when in different surroundings. Jonisha reached out to me to let me know he hadn’t eaten and tried chicken to entice an appetite which worked! I’m grateful to her and believe Danny had an amazing time as every update he was out in the yard gallivanting with his new pup friends. Communication was easy, and quick Jonisha was great.”

“April did an amazing job taking care of Arlo in the Blizzard!! She sent frequent updates and pictures and I was able to rest easy knowing he was in good hands! Book her!”

“Khang was wonderful in accepting a last minute request to watch Mooi, my Yorkie for the weekend! He kept me very up-to-date with photos and videos of her during her stay. She came home very happy and excited, so safe to say I will be using Khang again.”

“I needed to find a last minute sitter as my usual one is unavailable. She is local to me which is great. We arranged for a meet and greet with our dogs and all went well (her dogs are so sweet!). She is very accommodating to my dog's needs and after picking her up the next day, she was so exhausted from a great time with Lauren and her family (humans and pets). We will definitely be booking with Lauren again!”
