“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!”
“I would give Katherine, Odin, and the whole family 10/5 stars if I could! I’ve never seen my dog open up so quickly in a new environment—or have so much fun. Katherine sent a steady stream of photos and videos while I was away, which completely put my mind at ease. It was clear he was having the time of his life—honestly, it felt like a vacation for him too! I’ve already booked his next stay and couldn’t recommend them more. You won’t find a more loving or joyful home for your pet!”
“Athena took amazing care of my dogs, Matty and Max, during their 5-night stay with her. She treated them as if they were her own, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and truly went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy. She kept me updated throughout their stay with pictures and thoughtful notes, which gave me so much peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dogs with a sitter, so I was naturally a little nervous, but Athena completely exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Athena to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter. I will absolutely be using her services again in the future!”
“Juliana was absolutely wonderful. She sent updates daily and by the end of his stay, Teddy didn’t want to leave her! Grateful she was able to take care of him for us.”

“I've booked Kristin a few times, and she has always been very kind and helpful, especially with the special accommodations that my cat needs. I feel she provided a good environment for boarding my cat. In particular, I appreciate her being very helpful and communicative after my cat had a medical episode and needed to be taken to the ER. Her care made a difficult moment easier to go through.”
“Margarita and Cristian are truly the best!! My goldendoodle, Cooper, loves his stay with them. He comes back home happy after his stay and you can tell he is truly loved by Margarita and Cristian. Margarita is very accommodating to a few emergencies that have popped up for me and is willing to work with you to give your pet the best accommodation. She also provides updates on your pet and provides pictures. I highly recommend booking Margarita and Cristian as your pets sitter!! You won’t regret it!”
“Denis was absolutely wonderful with my energetic orange boy cat! He was great at communicating every day and noting anything in terms of behavior which helped make me feel calm during the early days. Not entirely sure who’s vacation was better 🐈🤍 Would highly recommend him and will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“It was such a pleasure to have Shirley watch our dog. He is a senior dog and requires additional attention. Shirley was amazing and keeping us up to date on how he was doing and he honestly was on vacation himself. He had so much fun!”
“I’ve used Wendy twice now, and both experiences have been wonderful! She is reliable, caring, and truly takes great care of my dog. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my pup is in good hands while I’m away. She’s easy to communicate with, dependable, and someone I feel completely comfortable trusting with my dog. I’m so happy I found her and will absolutely continue booking with her. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾”

“I reached out on very short notice but she was able to watch MJ. She sent pics and kept me updated the whole time. Very grateful for her! Thank you!! MJ will definitely be a returning client”
“Bridget was absolutely amazing with my fur baby. We were on a business trip and my pup was having a hard time adjusting to the hotel and a new environment. Bridget was able to give him a comfortable place to stay for a couple of days, and he felt right at home. I would highly recommend Bridget. She was a life saver during my trip to the city.”
“Pamela has been a regular sitter for my Ruthie for over 5 years. My 13-year-old dog is always loved and taken care of when she’s with Pamela and I fully trust her. Would highly recommend especially if you have a small/older dog.”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”

About: I have over 7 years of active, hands-on experience raising, training, and caring for dogs of all sizes, including large and powerful breeds like Rottweilers. Since 2018, I have been fully responsible for managing daily exercise routines, structured neighborhood walks, and feeding schedules.Beyond dogs, I am highly comfortable caring for cats, and other household animals. I am very attentive to animal body language, making sure your pets stay safe, comfortable, and appropriately active while you are away. Rain or snow, I stick strictly to your pet's schedule. Pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine because I am an early bird who loves getting out of the house early to stay active. I prefer being highly proactive about my availability, meaning I only accept bookings on days when I am completely free and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. Whether you need structured early morning exercise routines, mid-day check-ins, or reliable evening walks, I communicate clearly and stick strictly to your pet's established schedule. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety is my absolute priority. I am highly attentive to animal body language and know how to maintain structural control when walking larger, powerful dogs on a leash. I strictly respect your household environment, adhere to your exact safety rules, and keep outdoor routines secure by avoiding any unpredictable interactions with strange dogs or crowded spaces.

“Hemei did a great job taking care of our cat. She did everything we asked and was very communicative. We felt very comfortable being away with our cat in her care and would definitely book her again.”
“Lawrence did a great job at taking care of our cat! He sent us lots of photos and updates so we felt very comfortable while we were away. We recommend booking with Lawrence!”
“Antoinette was wonderful. She stayed in communication with me while I was away and went above and beyond to make sure my cats were fed, happy and comfortable. I would absolutely use her again !”
“Shibo was absolutely amazing! I have two male cats, and one of them I had just adopted 10 days before leaving for my trip. He was very skittish when I first got him, but he warmed up to Shibo right away. My other cat took a liking to him immediately as well—who wouldn’t! Shibo was so wonderful, giving my cats the attention they needed while I was away. In the past, I relied on neighbors and people just stopping by to feed and check on them, but my experience with Shibo has completely changed my perspective. It is worth every penny to have someone as great as him looking after your fur babies! When I returned, I could see the difference in my fluffy companions in the best way as this is very early in their introduction phase. I had peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Shibo provided fantastic updates and beautiful photos, making it clear that my cats had a wonderful time with their new friend. I have full trust in Shibo as I also came home to find everything exactly as I expected. I highly recommend Shibo for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Especially cats.”

It'd be awesome to spend some time with your dogs and cats! I have extensive pet care experience with my own and many of my friends and family's pets of all sizes and breeds and just love animals in general! I also have animal care experience at the Bronx Zoo. I love to scratch their heads, rub their bellies, play outside, practice some training, or just lounge at home with them. I am also very comfortable with large dog breeds. My bf Daniel loves cats and dogs as well and is always here to help care for your fur babies too so they’ll never be alone! Between Daniel and I, we are home 5-7 days a week. In my family’s house in Whitestone, someone is always home so your fur baby will never be alone!

About: I've been a lifelong cat lover and caregiver — from playful kittens to sassy seniors. I understand how sensitive and particular cats can be, and I take the time to let each one warm up at their own pace. Whether it’s feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, or just quiet company, I create a calm and caring environment that helps them feel safe and loved while you're away. I also keep a close eye on behavior changes and health cues — because with cats, the little things matter.
“Janet and her boyfriend Jackie were wonderful! I left my cat Halloumi with them for just over two weeks. At first Halloumi was a little shy and scared but Janet was great at giving him space and letting him get comfortable with his new surroundings. I got regular updates of photos and videos and within a few days Halloumi cuddling with them and asking for pets :) I really felt that he was in great care! Thank you Janet and Jackie!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Whitestone
“Emily was phenomenal with Chloe !! She made me feel so comfortable with leaving her and sent me photos throughout the day. Overall wonderful experience!! Can’t wait to book again”
“Athena was amazing and so reliable. I booked super last minute and she was extremely accommodating, fast responding, and kept me updated with pictures throughout Ozzy’s stay which gave me so much peace of mind. She even fed him homemade food and treats and truly cared for him like her own. I was completely at ease during my trip knowing Ozzy was in such good hands. I will 10000% be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring 🤍”
“I have not enough words to express how excellent Llona took care of my puppy for a few hours, so we could go to explore the liberty statue. She informed about Peter, what he was doing, everything they went for a walk, and she also sent me pictures of him playing with her dogs. I truly recommend her if you are looking for somebody responsible, caring, kind, and lovely. I will definitely leave Peter again when we come back to New York!”
“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.”
“Wendy and her husband took great care of my dog and sent me updates during the day. Zoe can be shy and sensitive at first with new people, but she warmed up to them so quickly! Their dog Hero is so cute and playful as well. I would recommend her, and Zoe looks forward to her next daycare there!”
“I couldn't recommend Janet more. She is incredibly communicative, professional, friendly, and positive. I received fast responses to my messages and pictures and videos of my 9 week old puppy. I could tell when he got home that he had the most fulfilling time of his young life. Dante took to her and he is on the shy side for a puppy. I knew when I met her that this was right for Dante not just for the short term, but in the long term as he grows up. I look forward to working with her and I am so happy I found the right person to help Dante grow up into the best dog he can be. :)”
About: I have over a decade of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. As a current multi-pet owner with a mini poodle and a rescue cat, I am an expert at managing a happy, harmonious home and catering to different personality types. What sets my care apart is the activity level and location. I live just 20 feet from one park and a 5-minute walk from another, making outdoor time effortless. My schedule is built around your pet's needs: when I'm home, they get 3-4 walks a day, they are guaranteed three solid walks with plenty of park time. My home is a true 'pet paradise'—fully stocked with a massive variety of dog and cat toys to suit any play style, from high-energy fetch to interactive puzzle games. I also treat your pets like my own by exclusively serving ZeroWater filtered water for premium hydration. I am highly observant, deeply responsible, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, active, and loved. My weekly routine is highly structured to guarantee your pet gets plenty of regular exercise and potty breaks. Since I work from home every day, I am able to take dogs out for four walks a day (morning, lunch break, evening, and right before bed). I am always home for overnight boarding, and my weekends are fully open for even more playtime and park visits! Because I am a pet owner myself with a dog and a cat, my home is fully set up for animal safety. My environment is supervised, and I am particularly careful about keeping curious pets away from indoor plants or other hazards. I provide a calm, structured space where your pet can relax while I work from my home office. I also believe in total transparency and will send you frequent photo and video updates so you can see your pet enjoying their time, whether we're playing fetch at the park or lounging at home. To ensure every guest feels at home, I provide multiple dog beds in various sizes throughout the apartment. This allows each dog to have their own dedicated space to retreat to and relax, which is especially helpful for pups who might be a little timid at first!
“Denys was absolutely exceptional. She took Luna in on a last minute request and was amazing. Luna came home happy and ready for bed each day. Denys did an amazing job, and I will be using her again for sure!”
About: I’m a longtime dog owner who understands how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m patient, attentive, and careful about following each pet’s normal routine, including walks, feeding instructions, medications, and any special preferences. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding depending on the date. I prefer caring for small dogs and can follow each pet’s normal feeding, walking, play, and rest routine closely. I have a spacious, pet-friendly home with an open living room and a large, fully gated backyard for supervised play and potty breaks. I focus on small dogs and provide attentive care, regular updates, and close supervision. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, routines, feeding schedule, and any special needs.
“Juliana was able to accommodate a last minute sitting request for my two senior dogs. She was extremely responsive, caring and provided updates throughout the day. Our dogs are elderly, shy and need frequent walks and she took care of them as if they were her own. Highly recommend!”
“Veronica is very understanding and accommodating. Without a doubt, Veronica is the best sitter for my baby Jimmy. With her, I know Jimmy is in good hands. I highly recommend Veronica to take care of your fur babies the way she took care of my Jimmy. Thank you Veronica for being an animal lover and for being there when we need you 😀”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience, professional pet care skills, and a home environment designed around each dog’s individual needs. I have about 5 years of experience caring for dogs, including dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I pay close attention to body language, comfort level, and interactions so I can recognize when a dog is relaxed, overwhelmed, or needs more personal space. Pet care is my full-time focus, and I’m both pet CPR certified and a certified groomer. This allows me to provide attentive daily care while also helping with brushing, bathing, coat care, and general cleanliness when requested. My home has a private backyard of approximately 1000 square feet for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, along with additional rooms that allow me to separate dogs based on size, temperament, energy level, or individual comfort needs. I understand that every dog has a different routine, so I do my best to accommodate feeding schedules, sleeping preferences, sensitivities, and other special instructions from parents. I also send frequent photo and video updates throughout each stay. My goal is not only to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, but also to give parents real peace of mind while they are away. Caring for dogs is a major part of my daily life and my full-time focus. Because I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, outdoor play, feeding, rest time, and plenty of individual attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and adjusting their routine so they can feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay. I’m pet CPR certified and also a certified groomer, so I’m comfortable providing basic coat care, brushing, bathing, and grooming services when requested. For longer boarding stays, I’m happy to include a complimentary basic bath when appropriate. For shorter stays, bathing or grooming services can be added for an additional fee. My priority is always to provide attentive, reliable, and personalized care for every dog staying with me. I live in a clean and well-kept home with a private backyard of approximately 900 square feet, giving dogs plenty of space for supervised outdoor play, potty breaks, and fresh air throughout the day. I also have additional rooms available, which allows me to separate dogs by size, energy level, or comfort needs when necessary. This helps each dog have a safe and quiet place to rest, settle in, and decompress without feeling overwhelmed. I have a 3-year-old Border Collie who is very sweet, gentle, and full of positive energy. He has done very well with other dogs and enjoys spending time and playing with them. I carefully supervise all interactions and introduce dogs gradually, while paying close attention to their body language, personality, and comfort level. I never force dogs to interact if they need more time or personal space. Throughout the day, I provide regular potty breaks, supervised backyard time, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to relax comfortably indoors. I also try to follow each dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, and daily routine as closely as possible. Sleeping arrangements can be flexible based on the owner’s preference and the dog’s needs. For dogs who are more sensitive or feel more secure near people, I can arrange for them to sleep in the same room with me. After outdoor time, I clean the dogs’ paws to help keep them comfortable and maintain a clean living environment. I also pay attention to brushing and overall cleanliness throughout their stay. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and welcoming home where every dog receives individualized care and owners can feel confident while they are away.

“Ana was incredibly sweet with our Boston Terrier puppy who experienced his first time away from us with her. She sent lots of pictures and gave frequent updates. Highly recommended!”
About: I had being around animals my entire life, and I consider pets as a part of the family. For me an animal is just like a person, most of them are like kids if you go out, bring water, snacks and toys for them. If your in the house they want attention and all the love that you can give them. Always have clean clean and fresh water, give them the food on time, play with them and always take care of them. Don’t leave them for long periods of time by themselves, and make sure they are healthy. Take them out at least two times at day and if it’s to cold outside put them the coat and the boots if it is necessary.
“Julia was so great with nori! She sent lots of pictures and communication was quick, easy and efficient. I felt so safe leaving her with Julia at her house and they spent a lot of time outside.”

“Hemei has been great with my dog Kiara! She walks her a 3-4 times a week and is very responsive, professional, and communicative. She is very flexible with her schedule which is amazing since my week to week work schedule sometime varies. Hemei made the extra trek for a meet and greet before starting so that I could rest assured that my dog would be comfortable with her. She is reliable and a true dog lover and you know she will look after your fur baby as her own. Highly recommend her!”
“Cynthia is fantastic! She's a responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely kind person. Most importantly, all of my pets love her! She loves animals and cares for my dog and cats like they were her own. Highly recommended!”
“I had such a great experience with Angela while I was away! Communication was always easy and consistent, and I felt very comfortable knowing Max was in good hands. What made me feel even better was seeing how quickly Max got comfortable with her. Every time he saw her, he would wag his tail and get so excited, which gave me so much peace of mind because I could tell he was happy and felt safe with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to walk their dog. I would absolutely use her again anytime I need someone to take care of Max. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him! ❤️”
About: Hi! My name is Neil D. Wallace and I love dogs. Dogs make me happy. My favorite dogs are Blue Staffies and Pugs. I have most experience walking Doodles, Pitbulls, Huskies and Chihuahas. I also communicate everything, and promise an open book attitude with owners. All hours until i book my next show. This is just a side hustle when demand is low in the acting world, which will change, with my contribution. No matter what dog I take care of, there is always one thing in common. The owner is always right. Even if I think something might work better for the pups, the owner knows best; open communication is key.
“Our girl can be a nervous pup towards new people. She warmed up to Erica so quickly. It made leaving a little easier. Erica is kind and listens to all of our requests. We would love to continue to work with her and have her back.”
“Janet was great! Biscuit was a little nervous, but warmed up to her and enjoyed his walk. She was patient and gave us great updates. Can’t wait to have her back again :)”

About: Every dog has their own personality, and I believe the best care starts with understanding that. Some dogs want to play all day, some need patience and time to trust you, and others are happiest just having someone calmly by their side. I always take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable. My experience with animals started helping rescue dogs in South America, including dogs that were scared, shy, or came from difficult situations. It taught me patience and how important it is to let an animal trust you at their own pace. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, independent, or a little nervous with new people, I’ll care for them based on what they need and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care has always been a big part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets every day, so I’m very used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime and making sure they get the attention they need. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. I understand how important consistency is, so I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including their usual walk times, feeding schedule and any specific instructions you have. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible even when you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow the routine and instructions you give me because I want your pet to feel as comfortable and normal as possible while you’re away. I pay close attention to feeding times, walks, medications if needed, playtime and the little things that are specific to your pet. I’m also respectful of your home and will always leave it the way I found it. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and being well cared for. I care for every pet with the same patience and attention I would want someone to give my own.
“Dean is great!! Super reliable, communicative and amazing with my dog Dior. I booked Dean superrr last minute this weekend and he responded immediately, kept me updated throughout the walks and I can’t wait to book him again”
“I was taking care of my son’s, high energy, 1 year 5 month old lab, Maverick and was nervous about letting him walk with a stranger. But Thankfully came across Rover and Ari, who was absolutely fantastic! Maverick usually requires a lot of patience, but Ari knew how to handle him. I loved receiving the daily photo updates and walk summaries, and of course Maverick always came home happy, calm, and ready for a nap. Highly recommend, Ari - will definitely seek for Ari in the future.”
“Jessica has been caring for my dog Niko for several years. From the first meeting I was impressed with how she interacted with Niko and how quickly she put him at ease. 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!”
“Deshauna walked and gave meds for our Yorkie, Champy. Deshauna accommodated our request for a meet-and-greet prior to walking him for the first time, which was important to explain the medication. During the walk, she arrived on time and was attentive to Champy's needs, and gave medication. Sent pictures and updates. I highly recommend!”
About: I am from Colombia, and most of the time I lived on farms, I have always had pets and I also took care of my family's pets when they were on trips, I am responsible and very affectionate with them. Furthermore, being with pets relieves me of stress since they are angels. What differentiates me from others is that I respect them and give my best for their well-being. Until the end of August I have every day free to take care of your pets. From September to December I have Monday to Thursday mornings busy, since I am a nursing student but I am free from 3 pm. On saturdays I can take care of your dogs after 1 pm. Fridays, and Sundays are also free! My house is big, it has a good backyard area where the pets can be, they can run, we also have a pool but they will always be safe, because I will be there. The house is closed so there is no danger of them escaping. How do I take care of pets? I pamper them, I feed them, I play with them, I take them for walks and I do everything so that they have a pleasant day.
“Very gentle and it’s obvious she cares for animals just how slow she walk with him, knowing he’s an older dog have a 14-year-old Shih Tzu. Don’t walk very fast and she just took her time that means a lot to me not to rush him around just to get the work over with. Thank you again Rachel. See you shortly.”

“I would give Katherine, Odin, and the whole family 10/5 stars if I could! I’ve never seen my dog open up so quickly in a new environment—or have so much fun. Katherine sent a steady stream of photos and videos while I was away, which completely put my mind at ease. It was clear he was having the time of his life—honestly, it felt like a vacation for him too! I’ve already booked his next stay and couldn’t recommend them more. You won’t find a more loving or joyful home for your pet!”
“Athena took amazing care of my dogs, Matty and Max, during their 5-night stay with her. She treated them as if they were her own, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and truly went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy. She kept me updated throughout their stay with pictures and thoughtful notes, which gave me so much peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dogs with a sitter, so I was naturally a little nervous, but Athena completely exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Athena to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter. I will absolutely be using her services again in the future!”
“It was such a pleasure to have Shirley watch our dog. He is a senior dog and requires additional attention. Shirley was amazing and keeping us up to date on how he was doing and he honestly was on vacation himself. He had so much fun!”
“I’ve used Wendy twice now, and both experiences have been wonderful! She is reliable, caring, and truly takes great care of my dog. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my pup is in good hands while I’m away. She’s easy to communicate with, dependable, and someone I feel completely comfortable trusting with my dog. I’m so happy I found her and will absolutely continue booking with her. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾”

“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“Eric was so attentive and loving to our senior golden retriever. He did a great job of giving her outside time and sent us daily updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. We would happily board Fallon with him again.”
“Naomi had picked up & dropped off our pup for his stay and she was very communicative and punctual. She sent videos of our dog clearly enjoying himself in the space of her backyard, and when he returned he was crying for her has she left!! We will definitely book with her again!!!”
“Lynn was very attentive to our senior dog, administering his medicine twice a day and ensuring he was eating. She sent daily updates and pictures, and was responsive. Would book with her 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!”
“Anastasia is amazing. She was extremely accommodating, provided regular updates, and truly cares for your pet like her own. It made for an anxiety free vacation knowing my pup was so well taken care of. Anastasia will be our ONLY choice when we need a puppy sitter in the future.”
“Nari, Ryan and Jiyu took great care of Bella for over two weeks. They took Bella everywhere they went. Many pictures and videos were sent to us. And we could tell Bella loved them from the updates we received daily. We were quite surprised how well Bella adapted that we started to get a bit jealous! They treated Bella like a family member. And we would definitely trust them again to take care of Bella in the near future!”
“Agnes was so great for our pup. He usually has separation and anxiety issues but was calm and happy when we picked him up. She let us know how he was doing throughout his stay and sent over pictures. Will definitely be booking with her again. Thanks for a great Rover experience!”
“Alyona was terrific with my puppy Bennet. She sent pictures and updates throughout Bennet’s stay and assured me that she was doing well. Alyona was inquisitive about Bennet’s habits and likes and that clearly translated into how she cared for my puppy during her stay. I will absolutely rebook in the future.”
“Excellent, Great, Amazing !!! This is first time I used boarding for my fur baby. And my experience with Jialarie was AWESOME. Daily updates and pictures, which I love will be using her again soon.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! Our dog was so happy and well cared for, and Ilona was incredibly loving, attentive, and professional. The daily photos gave us complete peace of mind. We could not have asked for a better home away from home. Highly recommend!”
“Mathew was an awesome sitter for our Pavlo..He gave us up dates and was very attentive to Pavlo…I would recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a sitter! Thanks again! Matthew and Penelope!!”
“Anton was very kind and accommodating of my anxious dog. It was the very first boarding experience for my dog, Reiki, and he was very nervous when we arrived at Anton's place. I was worried that he would stay restless, but I was totally wrong! Anton sent me photos and updates, which made me feel safe asking more of his service again. Reiki was able to calm down within hours under his care, and very much enjoyed spending time with him 😄.”
