“Jennifer, Thomas and their girls took such good care of our pup. They sent frequent updates and photos throughout the visit, and we could instantly tell how comfortable our dog was in their home. Cannot recommend them enough!”
“For better or worse, Oliver does not spend much time with other dogs and, because it is just him and the two of us in our home, he is fairly attached and can be anxious when we leave him with someone else. Gabriel handled well whatever anxiety Oliver might have had or issues he had with other dogs around. He was happy when we got there, even before he saw us, which speaks to the very good care Gabriel gave!”
“A few firsts: a first-time booking with Rover and a first time my Charlie ALMOST didn’t want to come home with me 🥴🐶 Kimberly’s a gem…warm & caring & communicative & totally convenient. Highly recommend!”
“Olga was wonderful!! She took such great care of Brutus and sent lots of updates with pictures, which I loved. An especially great sitter if your fur baby needs all-day supervision for any reason!”
“I have always been very happy with Maria watching our dogs. I have used her any time we go on vacation and my daughter is a regular customer now too. The thing I like best ( and my dogs like too) is this is not a kennel- it’s a home that they become part of the family. My dogs never liked kennels and became very upset whenever I brought them to one. At Maria’s they jumped out of the car and were happy to be there - like visiting a relative home. I’m very glad I found Maria and most of all my dogs are very glad too!”
“Cherissa was an amazing host. I had a cancellation last minute with a sitter due to an emergency and she was available and so easy to work with. She shared pictures and updates of our puppy multiple times throughout the day of what my fur baby was doing. I will definitely be booking with Cherissa again.”
“Rebecca was so kind and caring of Zelda! We got a lot of good pictures, and it was clearly a family endeavor. Zelda really appreciated her time with the toddler, who seems great with dogs.”
“Mildred and her family were incredibly wonderful to Luna and to me! They lived her like their own, and even fell IN love with her! I had lots of pictures from her even showing her lying on of the beds being pet. Luna is anxious and they either with her to warm up, there are two couples in the house and her son and they all take care of the dogs. What a wonderful place to leave your pup.”
“Donna is absolutely great, very nice, accommodating and very punctual. She sent many pictures with our dog, who seemed very happy and well taken care of. We are very pleased to have met her and shall definitely contact her again for future bookings. Thank you, Donna!”
“Thalya was great and really looked after my dog Duke really well! We were gone for over 20 days and Thalya really went above and beyond to make Duke feel at home! Would recommend to all!”
“My girl Josie had a fantastic time with Nicole; she was well-cared for, well-loved and I received daily updates and pics of all the fun she was having. I highly recommend Nicole and will certainly use her again!”
About: I was raised in a positive pet friendly family environment and had my own dogs and cats for more than twenty years. I can handle large, medium, and small dogs and will look to give them long walks and lots of exercise as a good dog is a tired dog. I work full-time but have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends to feed, walk, play fetch, or just hang out with your dog. I am happy to come to your home and walk your dog and or play at a local dog park, I am familiar with dogs from Yorkshire Terriers and Kings Charles Spaniels to Rottweilers and German Shepards.
“Jeff was very accommodating and sweet to my dog during the entire stay. My dog seemed very happy when I picked him up which says a lot about how well he was treated. Jeff is very professional and caring.”
“Our little guy, Wrigley, had an absolutely wonderful stay with Judy and Steven! I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming environment for their pup. As a beagle, Wrigley usually hates being left behind—but I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. He got the royal treatment with pup cups, plenty of love and attention, and he even made a new friend in their sweet dog, Ginger. Thank you, Judy and Steven, for making Wrigley feel so at home and for giving me such peace of mind!”
“Rosalie was very kind to our senior dog, Bob. She has a lovely, clean home with a private, enclosed back yard for him to roam around. I would hire her again and recommend her to others.”
“Janice is such a warm and loving person. My dog took to her immediately and it was clear she is an animal person. She prioritizes making sure that your pet feels safe and comfortable. It is such a relief to have someone like her taking care of my girl when I have to be away.”
“Amanda and her husband took wonderful care of Jack. I received daily updates and pictures which helped ease my anxiety about leaving him for a few days. He was so spoiled! You can tell they are dog lovers and treated him like he was theirs. I will be using them in the future and have already booked Jacks next stay without hesitation.”
“Nayeli filled in at short notice to provide boarding and care for my senior shepherd/husky (shepsky). She took care of his food and medications and provided excellent communication and updates during the stay. He had a great visit with her.”
“Cici was wonderful with Ruby! I had another rover fall through and Cici worker with me to find a solution. We were able to have a very slow and steady meet and greet. It gave Ruby a ton of confidence for the stay. All the updates about how my pup was fitting in with her family were great. She handled the pup well. Would highly recommend”

“Grettel was great and sent plenty of pictures of the critters! She even kept an eye out for our shy cat who didn’t make an appearance until near the end of her visits. Would definitely hire her again in the future!”
“Alexandra truly went above and beyond for our first sit. Attentive, thoughtful, and prompt. Kida was her normal, happy self when I arrived back from a 5 day trip - all down to Alexandra’s amazing care!”
“Sarah took great care of our kitties over 5 days with drop in visits. She was very communicative and sent some very nice photos. We returned to happy and relaxed cats! I would definitely book her again.”
“Katherine graciously agreed to stop in on our cats over the holidays and was amazing! Super prompt and gave nice updates. Our kitties seemed super happy and content when we got home. We would not hesitate to reach out to her again.”
“Being new to the area I was concerned about finding a sitter for my 2 senior cats. Alexa was wonderful and a pleasure to work with. Updates daily. Very kind! She is now my go to person for pet care.”
“Paige was such a joy to work with. I felt so comfortable and at ease while I was on vacation knowing that my kitties were in the best hands with Paige! She provided reliable check-in visits and sent me recaps and photos each time, which always included a note about how much she loves my kitties 🥰 I recommend Paige to anyone who wants to feel completely at ease that their furry loved one(s) will be in the best care while being pet-sat. Thank you so much, Paige!! ♥️🐾”
“Vicki was great with my Cocoa Bean. She sent plenty of pics and updates, was quick to respond, and was flexible with times and dates. I would definitely use her services again!”
About: I love caring for cats of all ages, from kittens to seniors. I especially love playing with more rambunctious cats. I've lived in several situations with two or more cats in which they had to be slowly introduced or their interactions managed, and I'm confident in reading cats' body language. I think it is so important to be patient with cats and pay attention to their individual wants and needs. My own cat is very calm but cautious with other animals.
“Rebecca was great with my cat Jamie! He really opened up to her over the 2 weeks she cared for him, and she kept the apartment cleaned up nicely. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Alexander is incredibly reliable, kind and helpful in taking care of Skipper. He goes above and beyond in making sure that our older dog is consistently given walks, meals and even an insulin shot”
About: I currently own an amazing certified Good Boy Austalian Cattle Dog and two snuggly cats. I have have always owned at least one pet, both cats and dogs since I was little. I have done a decent amount of pet sitting for neighbors and friends. I have even had to give oral meds to one dog I dog sat. If you have any questions, please ask!
“Bridget went above and beyond to take care of our cat while we were away on a trip. Communication with Bridget was great and we were able to trust that our cat was in great hands. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Amelia was warm and kind and listened to all the directions I gave her (helicopter cat-mom here). She sent lots of pictures and updates about how everyone was doing after every visit. Just the best!”
“Lexi was fabulous, Walter and Bageera were both very well taken care of and we were kept up to date the whole time. We missed our kids (pets) very much while we were gone but very confident that we left them in good hands with Lexi. NO WORRIES 😉 👍🏼”
“Emily was here alot durning my trip overseas and took great pictures and my cats were very happy and maybe forgot about me! she sent me news everyday and it was good to see the boys. we are very happy and so fortunate that we had her.”
“This is the second time Maggie’s taken care of our cats while we are away - she’s wonderful. She has a genuine affection for them and the communication is clear and easy. Thank you Maggie! Candice and Tom”
“Rose was wonderful with my house and with my patch. She left the house clean and neat, and she left the patch with big smiles on their little faces. I would highly recommend her.”
“Katrina was in our home with our two big kittens/small cats for just under a week. My husband and I were a bit worried about leaving them with a sitter, since they are only three months old, but gwe came home to very happy kitties, and a well-cared for house. Communication was good while we were away; pictures arrived frequently. I would use Katrina again to watch our beloved cats!”

“Kimberly was amazing! Very attentive to my Macie and reassured me when leaving my pup for daycare for the very first time. Macie loveed her and have a wonderful day at Kimberlys! We're looking forward to booking again!”
“Amanda was an amazing sitter for our dog Honey! She was thoughtful, communicative, flexible on timing, and Honey seemed so happy and calm when we picked her up. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Jacqueline was very friendly and communicative, and Bunsen took an instant liking. We received photos of her well-being during her stay and of her mile walk. Jacqueline’s home is conveniently located in a popular historic town, making drop-off/pickup easy on the way to/from Hunter Ski Resort from our hotel. Bunsen was well cared for and happy. She was also so tired, that she managed to rest during the long car ride back home! We would book Jacqueline again.”
“Nayeli was great from start to finish. My original plan fell through at the last minute and I messaged Nayeli the day before my trip. She was super responsive and made things happen quickly. Most importantly, she provided a safe place for my senior dog, including hourly pictures to let me know he was happy. I recommend Nayeli to anyone looking for a safe place for their furry friend(s).”
“Great experience of doggy day care. Eleanor met us and our dog prior to the doggy day care visit. She has a calm demeanor. She sent photos throughout the day to show us our dog was content - what more can one ask for? Thank you Eleanor.”
“Marielle took great care of my little Zuzu! My puppy started the day sad about me leaving her there and by the end she was totally bonded with Marielle! She was also totally tuckered out so she clearly got plenty of exercise.”
“Chaqutia took great care of our Labradoodle! She sent me pictures and updates throughout the stay, which really put my mind at ease. I was a little nervous about leaving my pet in a new home, but everything went perfectly. Knowing our dog was in good hands allowed me to relax and enjoy my birthday with my family. Thanks so much, Chaqutia!”
“We recently had the pleasure of using Rachel to watch our mini schnauzer mix, Woody, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. It’s clear that Rachel genuinely loves dogs—she took the time to learn everything about Woody to ensure he received the best care possible. Woody is extremely attached to me, and Rachel went above and beyond to make his stay as calm and anxiety-free as possible. Her thoughtful approach and attention to his needs meant a lot to us. We’re very grateful for the care she gave our pup and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and attentive dog sitter.”
“Alison and Jason are the best! Meeko gets so much attention and excercise while in their care and is always excited when we get to their door. They also put special care into his sting habits (he doesn’t always want to eat) and send lots of cute pics of him throughout the dayt. We are so glad to have them nearby.”
“Janice was excellent! It was our puppies second doggy daycare experience and first with Janice. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very accommodating and flexible. We felt that Pepper was in great hands!”
About: Hello, I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 11 years old. From dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, you name it! I’ve trained many puppies and love everyone’s furry friends. Fun Fact my dog at home is scared of thunder, so I always sit in the bathtub with him until he’s ready to come out (photo included) I’ve also babysat and house sat for many years :) I have maximum 2 one hour classes a day with a 3 hour gap in between! So there will be plenty of time for me to take care of your furry friends!!! I live in a single room on campus with loads of space and two beds if the pets want to have a comfy space. When I have to leave for a class I play zen pet music to help calm them down if I have to leave!
About: I’ve always had a passion for animals my whole life and would love to provide an easy, safe and affordable sitting and walking experience for you and your family! I have over 15 years dog watching, walking and loving experience and would love to help you out! I’m able to come to your home and stay overnight, just a day or even just an hour. Whatever pet services you need provided for your fluffy best friend I can accommodate. I’ve always been told I have a way with animals and I think it’s just because they have always genuinely made me happy. I’m sure you’ll be happy with the way I treat your pup and I know they’ll be happy to stretch their legs with me! I’m currently available full-time to board animals at my private house on a quiet street! I also offer dog walking and drop ins as well as housesitting! My home is pet free at the moment so your animal will have their own private Airbnb and full reign of my cozy little house!
“Hila hosted Millie for a day and Millie had a great time. We are so happy Hila was available. Hila was also communicative and flexible with us. Millie Enjoyed playing with Hila’s dog Ruby too.”
About: My own dogs are always the #1 teacher. They show me how to best care for them - with food, play, training, medications, travel, sleepless days and nights when they've been ill, and giving them all them comfort I can. I've volunteered at dog shelters, spent hours walking dogs in all kinds of weather, and offered comfort to friends who've had to say goodbye to their best fur friends. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention - playing, feeding, and scratching behind the ears. I take my dog for swims in the river, off leash romps in the woods, and leashed walks around town. We also play fetch and tug-of-war in the house or on the deck. If your dog needs a playmate, my dog, Jackson, may be a good fit. My cats - depending on their mood - like to lounge in the sun, pounce on the occasional toy, run up stairs, and hunt for treats I've hidden for them.
“Amy and Chris were welcoming when I dropped Banksy off. Their location is perfect for easy drop off and pick up. Communication with photos during the day let me know he was well cared for.”

“This is the second time we’ve used Grettel to walk our dog and we’ll definitely have her walk our dog again. It’s clear she loves and knows dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Bridget is great! She is always on time, follows my instructions carefully and is very communicative. And most importantly she is fantastic with my dog. My dog has weird little quirks and can be very excitable and Bridget is great about it all. No notes, I’m glad to have found her.”
“David was very understanding during my GSDs surgery and lay up/recovery. He was so concerned and checked in to see how the surgery went. Last week was their first week they were able to do the usual walk and she was SO happy. Now she is even more enthusiastic about her walks and greets him with big tail wags! David is the best! Ever!”
“Amanda is an amazing walker and pet sitter. She has gone above and beyond for me and my dog Beatrice. She has carried my dog over hot asphalt to shade and grass for walks. Added ice to her water bowl on the hot days. She is a regular walker for me and I have entrusted her with a key to my loft. You can do no better in my book. Schedule her with confidence! 😊 Stars 6!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! Recently started boarding and at home visits within the past two years and I love it! I’ve worked with puppies-elderly dogs, helped train from bite work to bathroom breaks. I try to do it and love it all! I am a teacher and I have summer home free with my daughter. We don’t have any pets of our own and love to love the pets you love! I like to follow the requests of the client, wherever, however, and whenever i’m needed! I have a fenced in yard and no other pets.
“We are so grateful for Emily! What a treasure. Our boys LOVE her. She is so reliable, takes amazing care of our boys and just a lovely person. We are so thrilled to have found her and can give her a great reference. Don’t hesitate!”
“Katherine has been great with my dog Leo. She can get in and out of a very difficult door to open (fiddly lock) and is very self-reliant. I’m sure Leo likes her a lot and I’m happy to have her walk my dog. A+”
“Kimberly was great! She was extremely quick at responding to our request, and was happy to walk our boy, Seymour, while we were in town having an anniversary dinner. Kimberly was so warm and generous with her time, making sure we didn't feel rushed during our dinner. Seymour loved her! Couldn't recommend more.”
About: I've taken care of my grand dog Daisy many weekends while my kids are on vacation. I've dog sat for small and big dogs at my home for many years.

“Aliza was so great and communicative when she came over to take my dog for a walk. Very knowledgable and great with animals. Would absolutely love to have her again. Thank you!”
About: I have had pets my whole life and hold animals dear to my heart! I LOVE spending time with them and making them happy. I have cared for dogs and cats for years and am very patient with them. I have a fenced in yard. I would prefer to avoid bringing clients pets into my home because I have 2 cats. But if the dog is friendly enough and has experience with cats I would consider it. My house is fairly big. It has a basement and attic, with 2 floors they’d have room to run and play. I have a medium sized yard so there would be room for them to run and play. I also have a safe street to bring them on walks. I pet sit full time. I’m looking to gain more clients so please book me. I spend my time practicing yoga, studying holistic health, caring for my own cats, reading or creating… so I am able to shift my schedule around easily to fit your needs! My home is cozy and safe with lots of room to run around and comfy furniture to sleep on! I keep the windows open and do not use toxic products in my house.
About: I have two dachshund of my own! I’ve been hosting for 2 years and would love to continue to do so. Can’t wait to meet your pups! I treat my pets as a part of myself. I make sure they are accommodated. My days aren’t hectic so morning and afternoon+ night routine is established. I have a fenced yard. There’s lots of grass and space for them to run around. So freedom won’t be a problem. I make sure to keep my space free from food and anything chewable.
About: I have had animals in my life my entire life. Dogs, horses and cats mainly. I also have experience taking care of older animals. I have fostered animals as well. I work and live full time locally in the Hudson Valley. I have breaks where I can provide extra care and attention depending on different schedules and needs. The yard is partially fenced. There are ample options of dog beds throughout the house. I also can crate your pet if needed and appropriate.

“Victoria is highly sought after and now I know why! Not only did she make me, as Maks' mom, feel comfortable and answered all my crazy questions, she made Maks feel comfortable and right at home in her home! She has toys and a bed and they watched TV together and she took him on walks, all the while sending me pictures and corresponding with me about his well being - above and beyond anything I could have imagined. Her demeanor is calm, attentive, and she was patient with Maks and his anxieties, something that is very hard to find! She even offered advice and knowledge about some of his anxieties and what I can do, and what she can help with while he's with her. Victoria helped make the daunting process of leaving my boy with a stranger into an easy, breezy sleepover with a new friend! Thank you!”
“Cristian went above and beyond to make sure i felt 100% comfortable while i was boarding my pit mix Nala for 11 days for the first time. Nala even sadly got a pretty severe UTI during her stay and Cristian was so on top of it with photos, concern, and ended up even taking her to the vet for me and getting the care she needed. Even with a 6hr time change he managed to keep up with great communication and updates throughout the stay. I truly couldn’t be happier with my experience. He will definitely be my top choice in the future - no question. Thank you endlessly Cristian!”
About: I'v been pet sitting for a long time and it's always been my favorite job! I have experience with walking larger dogs, working with timid or fearful dogs, and giving medicine such as insulin shots. I work full time as a software developer but my schedule is flexible. I am a hybrid employee so I work from home sometimes and office sometimes. I always make time my pets and any that are temporarily joining the family. My house is in a calm neighborhood. I don't have a fenced in yard but I have a large yard and quiet street for walks.
“Brittany was reliable and timely in communicating. Our fur babies had a good time with her and they came home feeling good. She was polite to interact with. We will be using her again if we need a sitter!”
“Jacqueline is an absolutely amazing dog sitter! Took fantastic care of my dog, Koda, and took so many pictures, which I really appreciated. He was treated like her own, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Megen was great, our dog came back very happy! Megen's pets were great play friends and she communicated well while we were away. Megen was also very flexible with drop off and pick up which we really appreciated.”
