Highly-rated overnight sitters - Woodhaven-Richmond Hill
“It was my first time leaving Cotton with a sitter after a couple of years so I was not sure if he will adjust to being in a foreign environment with strangers however after the first update and pictures I could see that Margarita is a friendly and caring sitter and he was at ease. I received frequent updates and pictures as details on how he was behaving. I will highly recommend Margarita & Christian when considering to leave your furry friend they will be in a safe environment and will be well taken care of. Communication from beginning to end was great and I will definitely use their service 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!”
“Kristin was amazing and accommodating. Tommy was welcomed and looked to be very comfortable in her care. I appreciated the daily updates with photos and/or videos, and even was able to see how Tommy would fair with another cat.”
“Sam was great with Milo! Sent photos and was communicative about pickup and drop off. He came back happy and healthy and we will be working with Sam again soon!!”
“Denis was the absolute perfect sitter for Mowgli! I was very nervous to be leaving him with strangers for the first time while on vacation for a whole week, as he’s typically a very anxious cat. But Denis was super communicative throughout the entire process and really put my mind at ease. He sent texts and photo updates every day and made sure to check in about how Momo was doing. If you are looking for someone who specifically understands and appreciates cat temperaments and needs, I highly recommend Denis! I think Mowgli had a better vacation than I did. I will certainly be booking with him again for any future cat sitting needs!”
“Michael was incredibly accommodating and patient in caring for my senior dog on such a short notice. He was attentive, communicative, and responsive.”
“David was amazing! Communication was consistent and adorable and I really felt like Roman was welcomed into his family. He was amazingly chill when I picked him up, not straining to get to me like he usually is, which I think says it all about the excellent care he received at David’s home. I would recommend him to anyone!”
“Thank you so much for your excellent work with my baby. Thank you for all the pictures and updates, that allowed me to enjoy my trip. Austin's was very happy. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Last minute booking and I’m so happy they were able to take care of my baby boy! Thank you so much taking him in, keeping him safe and happy. If I could give you 10 stars I would. Thank you again”
“Juliana is the best sitter ever!! Her and her family took care of Shea as a last minute need of support and they kept me in the know the entire process, not to mention my dog having a blast. I look forward to partnering with her again (and so does Shea) 💖💖”
“Awesome dog sitter! Sent me pictures and gave me updates everyday. I’m not sure my dog even wanted to come home after staying with them. Will definitely use them again.”
“As always, Luna had an amazing time with Adriana. She takes such loving care of her and shares the sweetest photos. Adriana does such an amazing job caring for Luna that I have never worried once while away. I could not possiblly recommend her more. She is amazing!”
“Judith took such good care of Blu. She was very understanding that he is a rescue who needs to come out of his shell. She sent me lots of pictures and updates on him, would def be using again! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Kecia is by far the best sitter I have worked with from Rover! She is super attentive and I left for my trip with not a doubt that my pups would be in good hands. She is exceptionally communicative and treated my pups with love and care. I will definitely book with her again!”
“First time using Rover and meeting Robin. She was very helpful in trying to keep my cat comfortable and well fed at all times. My cat is shy, so he spent a lot of time hiding, but she did keep me updated whenever he came out of hiding and went in view of cameras she has installed to monitor all the pet’s activity. I appreciate her willingness & patience as well as working with me to keep me updated. I would definitely go back to her if I ever needed a sitter again.”
“Angelique was absolutely lovely! She was extremely communicative and her love for dogs is apparent! Charlie was very well take care of during his stay. She made sure to stay in contact and provide updates. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her 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!”

“Jasmine was such an energetic and patient sitter! I needed to find a sitter last minute for a weekend getaway and Jasmine was prepared to be flexible as well as thorough. Luna 🌑 is a shy kitty and he needs lots of patience and good energy, which Jasmine easily demonstrated early on! I also appreciated how communicative she was and how understanding she came off. Luna and I are so grateful for your love and care! 🩶”

“Hello! Thoselin looked after my kitties while I was away for the past week, stopping by once daily to feed them, clean the litter and play. Thoselin provided great care and sent pictures to me each day to keep me updated. I missed by babies while I was gone so this was a huge help! I would definitely recommend Thoselin to any other pet parents who need a responsible sitter and I would hire her again in the future. Thank you!”

She was considerate and kind, and I loved that she created a genuine connection with our babies, so much so that she will miss them. I highly recommend working with Regina. Thank you for making our week-long vacation worry-free!”

My dog always comes home so happy. I honestly couldn’t recommend her more, she’s an amazing person inside and out.”

Peace and blessings, Amanda, Tanner and Ragnar Ganesh.”

About: Hi! My name is Sara and I love dogs. My two rescues and I live in a four family house in Glendale with plenty of indoor and outdoor space to play. Sadie and Philly love to have pals over and love making new friends. Dog handling is in my blood. My grandmother was a breeder and trainer for Guide Dogs of America. Because of her, I have experience with pregnant mothers and newborns. My knack for leash and obedience training came from her as well. I used to manage a dog daycare in Brooklyn and run my own dog walking business back in the day. Now I work from home and have all the time in the world to hang out with dogs! Growing up, my parents had a malamute, a Dalmatian, a lab/setter mix, and a lab/pittie mix. I raised these dogs with my father and learned to care for animals starting from a very young age. My father was a professional dog trainer in Southern California and worked specifically with rescues from kill shelters and aggressive dogs. He taught me everything he knew about training them. Though my first encounters with dogs had been bigger breeds, I found a warm spot in my heart for small breeds I met when I moved to the city. I love all dogs. Our house is perfect for your pet because it is on a quiet street in a quiet neighborhood with its own private backyard. There aren't too many rules here. There are five steps leading up to the house and five steps to the backyard. If your dog is older or has joint issues, this may be worth a consideration. I am experienced and capable to help dogs up and down stairs, but it may not be the best fit if it would stress your pup out. In a perfect world, we could make the arrangements for our dogs to meet at a dog park nearby before the boarding dates, but I realize that everyone has busy schedules and that may not always be possible. At the very least, I would like to meet you and your dog beforehand. I offer a pickup and drop-off service for an additional fee and introduce my dogs to new dogs on neutral territory with a long walk. I have been doing this professionally since 2015. The amenities in my space, my extensive experience, and the wonderful time your pup will have with us are what make staying with us extra special. It truly is your pup's second home. Hope you choose to board with us! I have pets so it is built into my routine and since I work from home, we can keep a regular schedule. I feed them twice a day and walk them twice a day and let them out for breaks in the yard throughout the day. I have a fenced yard with dog friendly plants that dogs can hang out in. Sadie and Phil are always able to make a pup feel comfortable away from home.
“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.”
“Arianna was an incredible sitter for my dog Sunny. She was always welcoming and accommodating to Sunny's needs as an anxious and reactive dog. I would highly recommend her sitter care! Thanks so much Arianna!”
“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!”
“Simply delighted!! Punctual and quickly made friends with my 6 year old rescue Maltese, Chanel. Received multiple updates & photos during the day. Booking her for more dates before her calendar fills up.”

About: Hi there! My husband and I are lifelong animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I had my beloved pug for 17 wonderful years, and during his senior years, I cared for him closely — including when he could no longer walk — so I understand the special attention older pets need. My husband also grew up with two dogs and a cat, and together we’ve cared for friends’ pets many times over the years. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or special care for senior pets, we always make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable — just like part of the family. We’d love to give your furry friend the same care and affection we gave our own. ❤️ I work from home most of the time, and my husband also works full-time remotely. We additionally have a live-in part-time sitter for our children. Because of this, someone is almost always home and available for walks throughout the day. We have a fully fenced backyard where pets can safely explore and get fresh air. Inside, our living room is spacious, so they can move around freely and relax. And yes—dogs are welcome on the couch if they’d like to snuggle! Our children are used to having animals and very gentle with them.

“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 !”
“Ashley, thank you so much for being so amazing. This was a last minute booking and she responded right away! Thank you for being so attentive with our fur baby and understanding our situation! We appreciate you and will definitely keep booking with you for any future needs 💕.”

“Ashley is very professional. When we first met her, she took the time to meet our dog Cagney before starting to walk him, gaining his confidence and assessing his needs as well as ours. She is patient, kind and wonderful. She is punctual and communicates regularly with us if any changes need to be made. She is a big help to us since we can't always walk Cagney and he really looks forward to going for his walk with her. Five stars are not enough to describe how we feel about Ashley!”
“We were very happy with Mandel After being screwed over by wag, he came over and saved the day. Athena looked like she got a good walk and Mandel took a lot of pictures to keep me updated. Definitely using him again!”
“Tedy is the absolute best fur baby companion Our fur baby loves her and is always happy to greet Tedy She is absolutely a happy soul and so positive all the time !!!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 9+ years, caring for my French Bulldog through every stage of her life—from playful puppy to senior years—which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to a dog’s changing needs. I now have a Cavapoo and love going through all the puppy milestones again, including basic training, routines, and socialization. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s personality, whether that means keeping up with an energetic pup or providing gentle, patient care for older dogs. I genuinely treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and am not working a traditional job, which allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pet care. I’m starting with weekend availability so I can provide consistent, reliable care and ensure each pet gets my full attention. As I get established, I’m open to expanding my availability. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and can easily plan my week around their needs When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I always do a quick check to make sure there are no hazards or anything unsafe within reach, and I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I give pets time to warm up to me at their own pace, using a calm and patient approach to build trust. Once they’re comfortable, I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and care based on their energy level and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away

About: Hi!!! I’m Maya, and I have been around pets my entire life. I grew up with cats, and currently have two living at my house, and I love every bit of those fur balls. My friends and family have relied on me for staying in their homes, days at a time to pet sit several cats, and provide them with ample love and care. I find it important to give the proper care to each pet because they are all unique and have different needs and wants. Furthermore, I have experience with dog walking. Doggies need exercise and sunlight just like humans, and whenever my friends rely on me with their dogs, I provide the utmost care and attention for their pups. You can rest assured that your kitties and pups will be well-supervised, be safe, be comfortable, and most importantly, have a lot of fun!!! 🐶🐱💓 I am currently available at all times! I am currently on break in college and can help with all your pet care needs, especially during this holiday season! I unfortunately do not offer services in my own home, since I already have two lovely fuzzy boys, but I will work with you if need any services outside of my schedule!
About: Im reliable, communicative and caring! I try my best to accommodate every owner as a pet owner myself. I have had dogs, cats and even reptiles. I work from 8-4PM and my husband who will be assisting me works from home. Located in Woodhaven Queens I work Monday through Friday from 8-4PM. My husband works from home and helps me if I ever need anything. I’m available up to 3 times per day and can adjust based on preference. For in home visits I can check in every 6-8 hours for any owners traveling. I include pictures, videos , and updates to share all the details of our visit. I’m very easy to communicate with and am willing to adjust to your needs and expectations!
“We cannot say enough great things about Jake as a walker and a kind and thoughtful individual. Jake is a very responsible: always on time, follows directions and is very attentive to our growing puppy. Jake is proactive in communicating any potential issue that may need our attention and makes sound judgment calls in shortening walks should our puppy overheat due to hot and humid weather conditions. He is also very mindful to not let our puppy interact with strangers on their walks to prevent any potential issues. Jake is extremely respectful and truly cares about walking dogs.. We have used Jake for over 1 month 3x times a week and he has never let us down. He is highly recommended!!”
“If you haven’t booked Irene yet I’d suggest you do so. She’s amazing and it’s clear she absolutely loves animals! She was so awesome with Stoney. Stoney is super energetic and tends to pull on walks. Thanks for your patience! I would absolutely book with her again!!”
“Ocho loves Thoselin! She’s been very conscientious and reliable, and I trust her in my home and with my baby. Ocho can be anxious and hard to get outside, but she’s been flexible and, judging by the photos she sends, he has a great time with her!”
“Joshua came to walk my pups on a rainy day. This is the most difficult time to walk them as they hate rain and are shy around new people. He did great! He took them both out and checked in with me to keep me up to speed and if he had any questions. I have trouble taking them out in rainy days so 10/10 will definitely book again!”
“Deanna has been working our Luna for 3-4 weeks now. And she absolutely AMAZING!! Our dog responds very well to her, and gets very excited to see her. Deanna is very helpful, kind, patient with us and our Luna. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND her😊”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my reliability, attention to detail, and hands-on experience working with animals. I’ve volunteered at Sean Casey Animal Rescue, where I helped care for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and backgrounds. That experience helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to provide calm, patient, and compassionate care. In addition, I often take care of friends’ dogs when they travel or are away, so I’m used to maintaining routines like feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are gone. I’m especially attentive with young pets who need structure and positive reinforcement, and I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need slower walks, extra attention, or medication reminders. I prioritize safety, consistency, and keeping pets relaxed in their environment. I also make sure pet parents stay informed by sending regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel secure and cared for, and every owner feel confident their companion is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible freelance schedule and currently no full-time job. This allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the day. I’m able to plan my work around walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime, making sure each pet gets reliable care and attention. Because of this flexibility, I’m also available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits when needed. My routine allows me to be dependable, responsive to pet parents, and fully focused on providing safe, attentive care for every pet. I provide attentive, reliable care that keeps pets comfortable and safe in their usual environment. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, and making sure they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I also monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they are happy and healthy while you’re away. For drop-ins or walks, I make sure pets get the physical activity and attention they need, along with bathroom breaks and any specific care instructions you provide. I respect your home, keep things clean, and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving owners peace of mind.
“Amazing as always. My dog had a great time with her, and immediately chugged water when he got home from the walk. He hates drinking water! Glad he got some exercise, or at least as much as his little Chihuahua legs will allow him.”

“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!”
“Sam was great with Milo! Sent photos and was communicative about pickup and drop off. He came back happy and healthy and we will be working with Sam again soon!!”
“Thank you so much for your excellent work with my baby. Thank you for all the pictures and updates, that allowed me to enjoy my trip. Austin's was very happy. Thank you so much for everything!”
“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!”
“Kiersten and Casey were the best Dogsitters we’ve had hands down! Incredibly attentive, tons of pictures, and it was clear June was as happy as could be. Thanks again guys!”
“Renzo was fantastic! This was the first time that I used Rover and I was a little bit of a nervous mom, but Renzo was awesome and out my mind at ease. He made the drop off and pick up very ease and was immediately a natural with Chico. He sent so many pictures and updates to put our minds at ease. He spoiled Chico and even took him on field trips during his stay! Thanks again for a great stay!”
“Wonderful experience as always. Jennifer and family are super kind, reliable, and very communicative. Harry was well cared for and happy when I picked him up. I really appreciated the flexibility and would absolutely book again.”
“My dog had the best time with Sara! She’s so sweet, and has two wonderful pups who made him feel right at home. We’ll definitely be returning for play dates!”
“This is our second time boarding with Michael and Michelle, and Poki seemed to have a great time with them!! They sent photos each day letting me know how he was doing, and the drop off & pick up was smooth! Would come back again 😁”
“Vanessa was great with Domino! He was comfortable the moment we got there for our meet and greet. She has two dogs of her own and watched a couple others during his stay, which he thoroughly enjoyed. She definitely spoiled him too. I'm surprised he even came home. Vanessa was also very good at sending pictures and videos. I would definitely use her again for future needs.”
“Alexandra was super communicative & really put us as ease while babysitting our mini schnauzer Nero for our trip. She is the best! Thank you Alexandra!!!”
“Sydney was awesome. Ollie can be timid, but he warmed up quickly. She sent pictures to keep us updated on his daily activities and was extremely responsive!! We will use her again. Just wonderful!!”
“Benjamin was calm and caring with my very anxious pup. She gets uncomfortable around other dogs, and he was very accommodating setting up a meet and greet with them before them. He was patient and communicative, sending pics and updates right away. Beaver will definitely be hanging out again soon!”
“We had great communication with Shirley throughout the entire process. We did a meet and greet before the stay, and she asked thoughtful questions beforehand to really get to know our dog. During the stay, she shared lots of photos and videos, which we truly appreciated. She was also very flexible and accommodating when we had to change our plans due to the snowstorm. Highly recommend!”
“Diana is a true blessing! My dog Loretta has very very bad anxiety and separation anxiety. But Loretta is my baby! I love her and treat her like one of my children. Diana was WONDERFUL with her. She was with her 5 days and kept me up to date with everything. Pictures and everything. She gave me the biggest peace of mind. She made my vacation so enjoyable knowing my girlie was in the BEST hands! I would recommend Diana to anyone who wants their dog to be well taken care of and loved. Thank you Diana for loving my Loretta and treating her the way we do.”
“Regina took such lovely care of our dog. She provided regular updates and was quick with all communication. Our dog was bummed to come back home after having such a good time with her!”
