“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”
“I am so thankful Charlie was available for a last minute booking/ boarding for our dog, Bibi. After communicating our needs, we knew Charlie was a great fit. Our dog felt right at home, and Charlie communicated frequently throughout her time there, including sending picture and video updates unprompted. We would love the opportunity to re-book with Charlie in the future.”
“Melissa was so great with our Rory! She sent frequent updates with pictures which showed how well taken care of (and happy) our dog was with her. Drop off and pick up were a breeze too. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Renald is so polite, caring, and attentive. Renald really enjoys boarding dogs it’s in his genes. My dog looked in great shape when I picked him up, and he even said good-bye to Renald with a wagging tail..it was so sweet! I will definitely be booking Renald services for boarding in the future.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Emily made it such a great experience. She took great care of Lolah from April 1–11 and sent photo updates that made me feel at ease while I was away. Lolah was clearly in good hands. I would definitely book with her again—highly recommend!”
“I had an amazing experience having Denis and his wife to watch my cat Fifi for a few days! They were able to confirm to watch my cat, given the short notice and on a holiday weekend. I was sent plenty pictures and videos throughout her stay and I was shocked to see how quickly Fifi adjusted to her new environment. I was happy hearing how well she was doing, and seeing her be herself. She had earned their trust pretty quickly on. They really took the time to care for my angel 😌 I could see how much passion, care and attention they have for animals and they treated Fifi as if she was theirs. 🥲 I was worry-free most of the time, knowing she was having a blast with her new friends ☺️ I was able to get alot done while they took Fifi off my hands. My cat will definitely miss being there with them. I am so glad I booked and I absolutely trust them with her again. I highly recommend them looking after your pet! 😊”
“Iwona was wonderful for the moment I messaged her. She was very communicative and understanding on all the directions I gave her. My dog needed medication and some special needs and Iwona took care of everything with no problem. I look forward to booking with her again, as I know everything will be so seamless and I’m now very trusting of her. Thanks again!”
“Fantastic stay for my Lulu. Lynn was great with my dog. How do I know? My dog was happy in every picture and was happy when I got home. She was well fed and well taken care of. Lynn has a nice yard for dogs to let their hair down and have some fun. Lynn’s family is wonderful too! I highly recommend and will use Lynn again for lulu.”
“This is my 3rd time leaving Kuddle with them, this time for 2 weeks. They really looked after her very well and we would use them to look after her many more times.”
“This is the first time Tuna has boarded with anyone and Kristin did an amazing job!! Great communication, flexibility and sent picture/video everyday! Will be booking with Kristin again in the future. Tuna had the best time! ❤️❤️”
“I am thrilled to leave a positive review. She did an exceptional job taking care of my cats while I was away. Each cat had their own private area and plenty of toys to keep them entertained. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pets. Her attention to detail and dedication to ensuring my cats' comfort and happiness were truly impressive . I highly recommend her services!”
“Minion and her family treated my Pup Pup so well. I loved the videos and texts. I was so nervous about leaving my puppy with someone I didn't know, but Minyon loves animals, offered a meet and greet and treated my Churchie like he was her own. I will definitely use her again and again”
“Veronica is amazing! She took care of my dog like he was one of her own. I will 100% recommend going to her and I will be back. Milo had a blast and she updated me every day with pictures and videos. She did mini photo shoots with my dog that was super cute 🥰.”
“Krystal took wonderful care of our dog, Joules, while we were away for two weeks. We were initially nervous about leaving our older dog for that long, but Krystal made the experience completely stress-free. She kept us updated regularly, gave Joules plenty of attention and long walks, and clearly cared about his well-being. We came home to a happy dog and couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend Krystal!”
“Michele welcomed our little baby at the last minute and showed her so much love. She constantly updated me with pics and little messages regarding her stay. Michele and her family are very loving.”

Cat caregivers near you - Utopia
About: I've taken care of all types of pets since I was 8. Ranging from 3 month old puppies to 15 year old seniors. Family and friends have relied on me to walk and care for their pets. I am also currently in college pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. I'm currently in college and working part-time but I will have more than enough time to truly care for and walk your pups! I will put great amount of time and energy into each walk. I have 3 dogs which I have cared for, for many years and take on extensive walks 3-4 times a day. I know how to leash-train and can deal with pulling. Dogs tend to trust me quickly because I take time to let them know I’m here to care for them. I make sure my animals and those of others feel all my love.
“I never left my cat with anyone because I get very anxious. Suraia stayed in touch with me the entire time and send me regular updates with pictures and videos. I wasn't worried for a second. She even let me see my baby on video call. Highly recommend her. I'll be booking with her only.”
“Christy took great care of my rambunctious cat, Toby. She sent lots of updates on how he was doing, and I felt comfortable knowing he was in her care. I would definitely recommend her if you need a pet sitter”
“Charlie very gracefully accommodated our last minute request to drop in on our two cats, which we really appreciate. He did an outstanding job ensuring they had food, water, and litter, and was very responsive. We loved receiving updates on the cats every day. Would book again if I have the opportunity.”
About: I have been caring for cats for more than half of my life and truly enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality. I’m comfortable with shy, independent, or playful cats and take the time to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and secure in their home environment. I provide reliable drop-in care tailored to your cat’s routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I respect each cat’s boundaries and never force interaction, allowing trust to build naturally. I am also experienced with administering medications when needed and always follow instructions carefully to support each cat’s health and well-being. You can feel confident knowing your cat will be in calm, attentive, and experienced hands while you’re away.
“Nateesha is amazing! She did a wonderful job caring for our 2 cats, even our more shy cat looked at ease in the photos she shared (photos were very much appreciated). I sent my booking request without much time before my trip, and I really appreciate that she was able to accommodate and care for our cats during the holidays. 10/10 I would absolutely recommend Nateesha!”
“Lawrence is incredible! He took such wonderful care of my cat Gidget over several nights, and I felt completely at ease knowing that she was in such good hands. Lawrence consistently communicated - he regularly sent me photos and videos, which not only reassured me, but also showed how comfortable and happy Gidget was. It’s clear Lawrence truly cares about animals, and treats them like his own. I’ll definitely be reaching out again for future stays, and would highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve taken care of and trained my own dog and cat for the past 6 years and before that, dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors for several years, including walking, feeding, bathing, playing, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s personality and routine. I’m super comfortable with energetic pets who need exercise, as well as shy or older pets who need extra care, calm attention, and consistency. I will always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I've also taken care of birds, mice, and bunnies, so I would love to help out with any of those, too! I'm currently a University of Pennsylvania student home for the summer! I'm working an internship but am completely free in the evenings and on the weekends! I make safety and comfort my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, and favorite things so they feel secure and cared for. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and send regular updates. I’m attentive on walks, careful around other animals, and always make sure pets get the right mix of exercise, affection, and calm downtime. At my own home, I have a large completely fenced yard with cameras for additional safety. I also live across the street from a park so for the energetic ones, I have lots of opportunities to take them out!
“Sally is very professional, prompt, trustworthy and courteous. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby while I was away!! More than happy to work with Sally again for my future trips!”
About: absolutely love cats and think they are the sweetest, most cuddly creatures! Growing up with my own childhood cats, Muffin and Rayray, taught me everything about feline behavior and care. I have been taking care of cats of every kind since I was 10 years old, and friends, family, and neighbors have always relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their beloved pets. I promise to give your kitties all the love, cuddles, and attention they deserve!
“Thoselin was amazing! We thought our cat would be shy or scared, but Thoselin made her feel safe and our cat warmed up to her quickly! She sent us pictures and was easy to communicate with. Five stars!!”
About: • Took care of cats during my time as a vet tech, this included feeding, administering medicine, comforting them, and assisting veterinary checkups (holding them for vaccines, blood draws, weight check, and wellness checks). • I’ve taken care of family and friends cats for when they travel •I’ve owned 2 cats with very different personalities
“Jessica is wonderful. She came prepared to our meet and greet with questions and notes and she always responds quickly when you send her a message. She followed all feeding and medication instructions. My kitty was in great hands and was so calm when I came home. Will definitely use her services again in the future.”
About: I’m an animal person at heart, and I have learned a lot anout dog care in my 10 years of experience raising my own. Whether you have a rambunctious puppy or mellow senior dog, I am able to gauge how much mental and physical stimulation they need in order to give them a fulfilling day of play and relaxation. I have an Australian Shepherd puppy myself, who I am very passionate about training. She loves to make new friends, so I definitely wouldn’t mind if another pup joined in on our training sessions! I work a fully remote job, so I am able to watch over pets as much as needed. I can offer daycare services from 6AM-10PM daily! I have a fenced backyard that I use for training sessions. I can take your dog on walks around the neighborhood, or if allowed, there is a nearby dog park where we go to play fetch. I have an extra dog bed and food/water bowls for your dog, but if you’d prefer they be crated for naptimes you can bring your own crate. I can follow your regular feeding schedule, and your dog will be fed separately from mine. The house and neighborhood are very quiet, so dogs who are sensitive to loud noises won’t need to worry.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Utopia
“Outstanding daycare experience and Peachy was a great host too . They were very sensitive to Charlie who has some anxiety and made her feel very comfortable and she felt right at home once she warmed up. They gave an immediate update at her first visit, which was very comforting. They were also very honest and kind , sent photos and followed all instructions. I highly recommend. My pug came home smiling and she’s looking forward to her next slumber party there☺️”
About: • I worked at the Howard beach animal clinic as a veterinary assistant where I assisted veterinarians with vaccine administration, blood draws, and wellness checks for both cats and dogs. I also learned how to administer medication to dogs/cats, give cpr to dogs specifically, handle hyperactive, anxious, and/or aggressive dogs/cats, and work with all kinds of breeds ranging from chihuahuas to Great Danes. • Before that, I gained experience working with dogs by volunteering at nyc pet services in Astoria, where I took care of many different kinds of dogs by supervising the area and ensuring all dogs were happy and safe. • My love for animals started with my golden Labrador and poodle at age 5, then at age 12 I got a Maltese whom I’ve grown up with and is now 16 years old. My experience not only includes dogs and cats of different breeds and sizes but also temperament, behavior, and personality. All of this experience has taught me how to read dogs and cats better, know when to approach sensitive dogs, and the best way to interact with said sensitive dogs. I can accept same day request due to my very flexible schedule, because of my flexible schedule I can focus on your pets happiness! I will have plenty of time to take them out on long walks for exercise, play time, and feedings. I love to spend time with dogs and cats, they truly make my day so much better! If it’s too hot out we can have play time indoors with some nice AC and play with some enrichment puzzles! I can assure your best friend will be in good hands and I’ll take care of them as if they were my own. I live in a pet friendly building, I’m on the first floor so your pets can enjoy jumping and running as much as they want! I have a park nearby where we can enjoy long walks and play time. A large living room that they can explore and take comfy naps. I can also make them tasty treats if you’d like! I have a small senior Maltese, she’s 16 years old and enjoys taking many naps but will still love to make new friends. She’s very chill due to her age so you can rest assured that your pups will be safe, but if you’d rather them be separated I have a divider that will ensure that! My priority is that both the owner and pup are comfortable and happy :)
“She sent me lots of photos, so I felt reassured. She’s professional and clearly loves and cares about dogs. I will definitely rebook her when i need daycare of my dog!”
About: I provide dependable, loving care for dogs of all sizes and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I make sure your dog stays safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, and I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I follow each pet’s normal routine by providing fresh food and water, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. In both my home and my client’s home, I keep the environment clean, follow any special care instructions, and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect.
About: For about two years, I've been looking after my friend's dog. Growing up, I've always had cats, and my love for animals runs deep. I'm committed to ensuring their happiness and well-being, going above and beyond to care for them. As a flight attendant, my schedule varies every week. However, you can always reach me, and I typically have entire days or even two to three consecutive days available. I'll ensure their happiness by taking them for walks, feeding them nutritious meals, and providing attentive care, including cleaning up after them, engaging in playtime, brushing their teeth, and meeting all their needs to keep them healthy and content.
About: Hello! We are RuthAnn and Brandon, a husband and wife duo of lifelong dog lovers. We know that your dog isn’t just a pet… they are FAMILY! That’s why when your pup stays with us they aren’t just “guest dogs” they become a part of our family too. Plus there’s two of us so this means TWICE the love and attention of a regular sitter :) A little bit about us: We are the proud “aunt and uncle” to our family dogs, West and Sadie. We’ve added them to our profile so you can get to know more about them there. While they don’t live with us they visit us often and they are very friendly, so if they happen to be over during your pups stay, that just means more friends to play with! I am currently a nursing student in my last semester and my husband works in sales! So one of the biggest perks of booking with us is that our schedules are flexible. At least one of us is always home. So your pup will have constant companionship, potty breaks and plenty of belly rubs thought the day. We also have a large fully fenced yard that’s perfect for zoomies or a game of fetch! We want you to have total peace of mind when you book with us, so we offer meet and greets prior to booking, as well as regular updates, photos and videos of all the fun your dog is having. We can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Seamlessly because we are home based and flexible. Between the two of us, your dog will have constant supervision and a routine tailored to their needs! We live in a fully fenced home so your pup has full access to a safe fenced yard for supervised play of course. Because Brandon and I are home, your pup gets a perfect balance of activity and rest. We follow your specific feeding and medications to a T (we know how important this is) and we love to provide plenty of belly rubs and cuddles on the couch. We keep a tidy dog proofed home and we keep fresh water available at all times!! We are a team that’s big on communication so you’ll receive daily updates with photos and videos so you can see exactly what your baby is up to. If your dog enjoys company, we love to facilitate play, if they are on the shyer more timid side and prefer one on one time, we can accommodate for that as well.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life! Love every furry friend I see! Beyond responsible and great with every breed! Can’t wait for your best friend to become my best friend! (If you need help with training I’d be more than happy to help with that too). I’m patient, responsible, supportive, give tons of attention and care. I’m great with all ages and breeds! Live by myself in a nice neighborhood with lots of great areas to walk and play, lots of grass parks and very safe. My apartment is a large 2 bedroom on the 2nd floor of a 2 family house. I have a car as well if you need me to pickup and drop off. I mainly work from home and it’s extremely part time. You can basically say that I’m retired. I’m usually always available, my home is the perfect place for your dog! I have a fenced yard with plenty of grass. I live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood in NYC. I don’t have any pets at the moment, unfortunately my Shmoopy passed away of old age recently :(
“Viviana took very good care of our older, anxious dog, making him feel comfortable and at ease while we were away for the day. She was very flexible to meet our dropoff and pick up needs as well. We will book with Viviana again!”
“I truly recommend Dan. This is my first time using Rover and naturally wanting the best for my dog, I wanted to make sure she’d be good, and Dan made sure of that. She always checked in with me, provided me updates of Daisy through pictures and videos, and always responds when she can.”
“Emily was absolutely amazing! She is incredibly professional, flexible, and easy to communicate with. From the start, she made everything smooth and stress-free, always keeping me updated and making sure my dog was well taken care of. You can really tell she cares and takes her work seriously. I felt completely confident leaving my dog with her, and I could see how happy and comfortable he was the entire time. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy, and top-quality care. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Ever since Ace’s first stay, I haven’t trusted anyone else to watch him. He’s always so excited to see Athena, which gives me complete peace of mind knowing he’s happy and well cared for. Athena is truly amazing, she’s reliable, caring, and treats Ace like he’s one of her own. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Julia was great! We left our puppy Sonny with her one afternoon until the afternoon the next day and she kept sending us updates and pictures of him having fun. This made us feel so good knowing that she was taking the best care of him and that he was happy. We would definitely recommend and use Julia again.”
“She was the absolute best when sitting for my baby: sent multiple photos and videos during his stay over, and he was happy upon return. Jacind even accommodated my late return. Would highly recommend!! 5 stars!!”

About: Most notably, I have worked for Dan's Pet Care as a dog walker in Manhasset for 6 months. I would walk dogs, sometimes feed them, give them water, give them medication, pick up and drop them off to and from the petcare center if asked to. To put it shortly, I have lots of experience with new dogs. I also used to work at The Allypond Environmental Center, along with owning pets throughout my life and still do to this day such as dogs, cats, birds, fish, and guinea pigs. I've also taken care of my and other family members dogs some who have had casts on a leg. I'm used to taking care of my pet bird everyday along with helping the stray cat who we have fed for months now, all the dogs I've ever owned sadly passed away but I've always took care of them. I have a secure home and a fenced yard with plenty of space, on top of that my neighborhood is fairly quiet with 3 nice parks nearby for good long walks.

“We had a fantastic experience! Annye took wonderful care of our cat, Louis (9), and our dog, Hazel (7), with drop ins and walks over a week. Communication was excellent (we received consistent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind). Both pets were happy and bonded quickly, which says a lot. Also went above and beyond to handle a few issues that came up, and did so with flexibility and care. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
“Nateesha is so kind, considerate, and patient! She works with my schedule and is so calm and understanding of my pup. Kiwi is an elderly, antisocial, grumpy, and now (mostly) blind boy, and Nateesha took her time and engaged with him until he was comfortable. She also took the time to get to know what I was looking for and figure out what could alleviate my concerns. Highly recommend!!!”

He loves her and when I have to leave him knowing Jessica is there to care for him gives me incredible peace of mind! She is someone who really loves and understands animals and it shows in how happy and relaxed Niko is when I return home. You couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for your pet!”
“This was the second time Charlie helped me out and I couldn’t be happier . He came and met the pup he offered advice and asked many questions about Bruce’s personality and preferences.

About: Ive had dogs in my house for as long as I can remember, and I can't imagine my life without the crazy, funny, cute, four legged creatures. I have two of my own at home, a shitzu and pitbull, now they're getting to their seniors years but they're still the absolute light of my lives, Had them both since they were 4-6 months old. I've taken care of dogs my whole life, and I wouldn't trade it for the world, From being puppies and cleaning them up after they go potty or giving a bath when they have too much fun in the mud! And now when they're entering their senior era and need to be given daily vitamins and helping them up the stairs. During school and work Id always wake up early to feed and walk my pups before I need to leave and make sure any accommodations that need to be done while I'm gone are set.

About: I’ve taken care of my sisters dog since she had rescued her since she was a puppy and has cared and loved for it no matter when the dog needed attention. I’m looking to take care of your pets on the side while i finish my degree in university. I have lots of availability as i am nearing the end of my school, so my schedule is open. I’d love to take care of your pets needs. I care for my pet by walking it, feeding her, playing with her and taking her to dog parks and meeting my friends so she can be active with others. I also have a cat who i take care of each and every day because he is very needy so I’m no stranger to special treatment for your pets.
“Oswald is great!!! From the time I met him I knew he was going to be a good fit for King. He's very attentive and super caring. I would recommend him to anyone looking for assistance with their fur baby”
“It’s was such a blessing to have Cynthia walk our furry baby Aria during our 17 day trip overseas. She showed to be responsible, reliable and very loving with Aria. She sent me daily pics and documented every walk. It was such a joy to hear daily from their walks. Aria adores her and will keep coming back for more and more walks in the near future. Thank you so much Cynthia! Aria adores and misses you!”

“Shirley is the best! She is responsible, kind, and very communicative. We appreciated all the photos she shared and took comfort knowing that our puppy was in great hands with Shirley. You can tell that she is a true animal lover. Highly recommended!!”
“Renald is so polite, caring, and attentive. Renald really enjoys boarding dogs it’s in his genes. My dog looked in great shape when I picked him up, and he even said good-bye to Renald with a wagging tail..it was so sweet! I will definitely be booking Renald services for boarding in the future.”
“Iwona was wonderful for the moment I messaged her. She was very communicative and understanding on all the directions I gave her. My dog needed medication and some special needs and Iwona took care of everything with no problem. I look forward to booking with her again, as I know everything will be so seamless and I’m now very trusting of her. Thanks again!”
“Fantastic stay for my Lulu. Lynn was great with my dog. How do I know? My dog was happy in every picture and was happy when I got home. She was well fed and well taken care of. Lynn has a nice yard for dogs to let their hair down and have some fun. Lynn’s family is wonderful too! I highly recommend and will use Lynn again for lulu.”
“Minion and her family treated my Pup Pup so well. I loved the videos and texts. I was so nervous about leaving my puppy with someone I didn't know, but Minyon loves animals, offered a meet and greet and treated my Churchie like he was her own. I will definitely use her again and again”
“I can't say enough good things about them! They were so attentive and loving with Romeo during his stay. They are officially my go-to sitters, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, reliable pet care!”
“Elena was able to take Kiwi last minute while I had a family emergency. Not only was she able to step in, she did an amazing job with Kiwi. I knew Kiwi was safe, all her meds were given to her exactly as needed and she got all of her daily walks! I got updates and pictures, Kiwi had a great time with her 🩷 I would absolutely use Elena again, I feel lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Elena for any pup but she did especially great with my sensitive, high maintenance girl.”
“This was our second time using Elisabete and our dog had so much fun playing with her new little Havanese buddy. Appreciated the video updates. Would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you!”
“Leandra was absolutely a pleasure to work with. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog with her. She was very communicative and will definitely be utilizing her services again”
About: I understand how nerve wracking it may be to leave your pet with someone new. Thankfully, I am here to assure you that your dog will be reliably taken care of while you are away. I am more than happy to arrange a meet and greet and will send multiple updates and photos throughout your dog's stay so you can enjoy your vacation and time away from your pet at ease! I've taken care of many friends and family dogs throughout the years when their owners would go on vacations. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs at once where I walked them, played, and fed their pets for many weeks. I finally found my forever furend, Romeo who is now a 7-month-old pomsky! Romeo is playful and loving. He will be a great companion to your furry friend during their stay with us! I am working from home and I am very flexible on taking your pets on walks throughout the day. I have a private rooftop I can bring them to, a nice quiet neighborhood area to walk around and there is a dog park 25 minutes away. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! My daycare services are from 9 am - 6 pm daily; the cut-off time for boarding services is by 6 pm daily. My dog-friendly apartment building has a private balcony where your fur baby can enjoy the fresh breeze throughout the day. I also have an amazing, beautiful rooftop that has fake grass where your pet will enjoy running around! I have provided a photo of the gorgeous private rooftop below. I have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment that is clean, mopped, and vacuumed daily. Your pet will have a private and quiet area to rest and spend their day happily!
“I've booked with Nari & Ryan several times and they are the only people I trust with my dog, superseding close friends and family . They provide photos, videos and updates without having to request them and it's always a nice surprise. It's clear that they adhere to all given instructions and ensure his safety and happiness. But the biggest indicator of their great care is how excited my dog is to see them every time. He zips in their home without giving a me a second look (sad but glad), greeting their lovely daughter who is equally as responsible. Every time, I book in hopes that they are available. Thank you Nari!”
“Stella went absolutely above and beyond taking care of Bao for a long weekend. This was our first time leaving Bao with a boarder since getting her and I can't imagine anyone providing better care than Stella. We're so spoiled now! Stella sent very frequent and detailed updates each day and took Bao and her dog, Koukla on countless adventures during her stay. Stella is mindful about the number of dogs she has in her care at one time so she can give her undivided attention to your pup during their stay. It really felt like Bao was an honorary member of her family and we can't wait to send Bao back for another stay 🥰”
“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!”
“Scarlett was excellent! Great communication, flexible on picking up our dog and could work on our schedule. Consistent photo updates and made sure to keep our baby cool during the heat wave. Would definitely recommend”
“Absolutely incredible. They took great care of our baby boy, sent many updates, and we were able to rest assured Shoresy was in good hands and having fun. When our flight home got delayed, they were extremely accommodating and went way above and beyond to help us out. We will definitely be using them again- Shoresy had an amazing time!”
“Amazing experience, Vanessa is great, my babies were taken care of as if they were part of her family. Vanessa is so loving and really payed attention to every detail. Will always recommend 100 %. Trixi (Dog) and Ash (Cat) had a amazing time.”
“Irena was amazing with our Mocca. She was super responsive, sent lots of photos and took great care of him! They became besties in no time and I know he is looking forward to his next vacation with her.”
“Yinuo (Angela) was great! We had to find a sitter last minute and she was extremely responsive and willing to accommodate. She always sent us multiple pictures during her walks with our dog, Bobo, and would update us throughout the day. Bobo has separation anxiety so can be anxious when settling into a new place. However, Angela made him quickly feel at home, and he looked extremely comfortable and settled in in the photos she shared after we left. We will definitely be booking Angela again next time!”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our 8-year-old Greyhound (Annie) with Tyler! After reaching out, we set up a meet and greet where Tyler showed us around and made us and Annie comfortable with the environment. When we came to drop Annie off, Tyler came out to greet us and even helped carry some items inside! During the stay, Tyler sent photos to us every two hours! On top of that, Tyler took Annie on at least four to five walks a day (many more than she gets at home!) Tyler was attentive to our concerns and shared updates that were important to us. Namely, Tyler let us know when Annie finally began eating her (she's a picky east, especially when she's not at home). When we came to pick Annie up, Tyler was just as helpful as when we dropped her off. He brought all the items out to our car, which was a great help after a long and tiring weekend for us. We will DEFINITELY be reaching out to Tyler in the future!”
