“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!!”
“I highly recommend Karla for anyone’s pet care needs. She was friendly, responsive and a delight to work with. She provided daily updates on my dog’s day with pictures. I look forward to working with her again!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! She was kind, reliable, and treated him like one of her own. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my boy!”
“I chose Rachel to board my cat for a three and a half week trip. I am so glad Rachel was my choice! She communicated consistently and sent pictures. If anything seemed to be worrisome, she reached out right away. In addition to her updates about my cat's behavior, she showed that she took care of my cat with care and love for animals. I will definitely be using Rachel again and highly recommend her!”
“Lenford was incredibly communicative and caring for my anxious girl. I was very nervous to leave her, but he took excellent care of my baby and will be my go-to going forward!”
“Doris was amazing with my dog. The couple of days that she had him she sent plenty of pics and videos starting as soon as I dropped him off. She always responded to my texts. Will definitely book her over and over.”
“Erica is amazing. I have been boarding my dog with her since 2019. Whether it's for just a few nights or for two weeks, I'm always confident my dog will not only be in great care but will enjoy every minute of her time in Erica's care. My dog always gets plenty of outdoor playtime with other dogs in a large grassy safe contained area. At night, Erica makes sure Kikki is warm and cozy in a big comfy dog bed. If my dog sees me as her dog-dad, she definitely sees Erica as her dog-aunt. From her words, her actions and my dog's response to her, I can tell Erica treats Kiki as if she were her own dog. As a bonus, Errica will send you high-quality pictures and videos daily, many of which you will want to save or print for framing and display. If you want the best care and experience for your dog when you travel, board with Erica!”
“Steven was awesome with our pup Freddie for a week. We got adorable photos of him and he was clearly feeling right at home. Won’t hesitate to send him there again!”
“Five stars for Jane! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I left my beloved pug, Lord Ginsberg, in Jane’s care while I traveled to Mexico, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. Lord Ginsberg is not your average dog. He has his own routines, preferences, quirks, and very strong opinions about comfort. Jane understood all of that immediately. Her patience was absolutely legendary, and she took the time to learn his specific needs and little eccentricities without ever making me feel like I was asking too much. What meant so much to me was how communicative she was throughout my trip. She regularly sent adorable photos and videos of Ginsberg, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. Every update made it clear that he was happy, comfortable, and being genuinely cared for. Jane is not only responsible and attentive, she’s also warm, funny, and incredibly understanding. The best compliment I can give is that I could tell she truly enjoyed Lord Ginsberg’s company. She wasn’t just watching him, she was spending time with him and appreciating his unique little personality. She even came to understand his profound and unwavering love of cheese, which any true friend of Ginsberg quickly learns is a very important part of his worldview. When I came home, I found a happy, relaxed, well-cared-for pug, and that’s every pet parent’s dream. I can’t thank Jane enough for the care, kindness, humor, patience, and attention she showed him. Anytime I travel in the future, I will be hoping Jane is available to take care of Lord Ginsberg again. She has my highest recommendation.”
“Lina did an excellent job taking care of our two kitties (and our frog too) at her place while contractors were working on our house. She sent photos and was very responsive and professional. The first time they stayed with her they were a little more shy but their second time they came out and played more. Highly recommend, we felt confident our pets were in great hands. She had them in their carriers and ready to go when we picked them up too.”
“Michele was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the start, she was communicative, attentive, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her kids were completely in love with Arepa, and it was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. Michele truly treated him like her own. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter. Thank you so much, Michele!”
“She was great with Max. Max loved her, she is very kind and cooperative. She updated me with lovely pictures of him and took great care of him. I would definitely have her take care of him again.”
“Emerald was amazing! So friendly and easy to communicate with. She sent lots of photos and updates which was really appreciated. Would absolutely recommend Emerald and would book with her again in the future”
“David took excellent care of my dog. He sent check-ins regularly and was easy to coordinate with for pick up and drop offs. I would definitely book again.”
“wow, what an incredible person to find. Ben was communicative, heartfelt and caring while watching Soda for six days. Soda can be quite shy when it comes to strangers, but clearly warmed up to Ben (and Colby) quickly. i have no doubts throughout my travel whether Soda was well taken care of, and i’m immensely grateful for his diligence as a caretaker. would 100% recommend to any parent!”
“Vanessa was amazing with my pup. She kept me updated with photos, was attentive the entire time, and it is clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I had complete peace of mind while I was away and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Katerina was amazing with Bunny! She was communicative and professional. Bunny can be shy to warm up, but she did so quickly with Katerina. I would book Katerina again!”
“Megan was such a wonderful dog sitter! She took care of our big dog very well. She sent us pictures everyday so that how he was doing. We could see he had a great time. Thank you, Megan!”
“This is my first time booking with Samantha and I definitely believe this is the start to a great relationship! I've been shopping around for a sitter that my pup feels truly comfortable with and not anxious to get away from, and Samantha provided a warm, welcoming, and fun environment. My Nala was so calm and at ease by the time I picked her up and that warmed my heart. Samantha was flexible and accommodating to some last minute changes to the schedule and even bought dog food because I had ran out right before my trip! What a doll! If you book with her, trust me, you won't be disappointed!”
“Kecia is an incredible dog-sitter! She is highly dependable and friendly. I appreciate how she makes sure to keep me updated on how my dog is doing Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with cats, actually! While I currently dont have the ability to adopt my own fuzzies again, I do help out with friends who go on vacations and things like that. **I also do bunnies! I was an ARBA registered judge and show rabbit breeder, 4H judge, and 4H instructor and animal trainer.** Pregnant and not allowed to change your kitty's potty? Or maybe youre like my friends and you have to be out of town for a vacation or family meeting, but cant take your fuzzies with you. Some cats do not do well with a boarding kennel situation, so skip the stress and giving them anxiety- hire someone to come check on them at home! Kittens to seniors, all are welcome- even the grumpy ones. Are they on a diet? Do they like tube treats? Even if they made a stinky, I will dump all of the litter out & wash the pan, then put the bag outside in the trash bin so that its not smelling up the house. History: My mother had a long haired tortie before I was born (she tolerated me as much as she was willing from what I was told) and when I was 4, we adopted a creamsicle boy from the neighbors (orange & white tabby). That cat was my best friend for 13 years before I had to say goodbye. We waited a bit, then went to the shelter and adopted a shorthair baby tortie that was really more of my mother's cat (like the previous tortie, although I didnt pick her because of the color). I'd drop in from college and even visit from out of state years later to take care of the tortie while my mother was on vacations. She was a very shy, quiet cat vs my creamsicle who was a big bold boy (he was just a massive cat, not overweight) and even though she knew who I was, I wasnt HER person, therefore my only purpose (to her) was food, water, and litterbox cleaning. Even though I used to play with her when she was younger, I respected her boundaries because in her defense, I *did* move out after the first few years of her life. She lived to be 16. Meanwhile I adopted a little white sock, white blaze, gray tabby girl just after college and had her for only 7 years before her number was called. She was a little purr machine cuddle bug until the day she took her final nap. After the loss of her and my dog, I personally havent had the time or housing requirements to be able to own pets again, so I do what I can to help other busy pet parents!
“Alexandra did a great job with our 17 year old cat. We were out of town for 3 days and came back to a very clean living space and a very content Isis. Would definitely recommend Alexandra for overnight sitting with your pet!”
“Anna is truly amazing! She would pick up on my kittie habits and communicate with me very promptly when she feels there may be an issue - no matter how small or big. I really appreciated her attention to detail. Overall, Anna's communication is so timely, clear, and thoughtful. And I think that's a strength like none other. My cats also loved her, I don't think they even missed me. I normally feel bad asking the sitters to send me pictures because personally I think it could be a tad bit annoying, but Anna would send me pics when they are being particularly cute or show me how my cats are cuddling with her non-stop! TL;DR, I am traveling for a wedding next weekend, and I already reached out to her to see if she could help me again. I hope Anna can be my kitties' loving and caring aunt forever! Please don't move from NYC!”
“I cannot recommend Stephanie and Brian enough! They always take such good care of my cat Luna and are very reliable, responsive and caring :) I’ve rebooked with them several times”
“Ok Aziza is amazing. We needed someone very last minute and she responded so quick that we were immediately 👌yes. Then we had to change start time and change start date and she was understanding and accommodating. She came in asked questions of our kitty and immediately start playing with him (soda rubbed himself on her immediately, with no dignity). During our trip Aziza sent us videos and photo everyday, brief his situations to me and making sure I’m not worried at all. THE MOST IMPORTANT thing is when we come home she cleaned our apartment just like how we gave it to her, so amazing, so so amazing. We loved the experience, soda lover her, soda got so much attention and love and play time, highly recommended.”
“This was our second time having Ariella check in on our cats while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure that they were cared for! Our cats are not the most social animals and while they didn’t interact much with her while she was there, she made sure to seek them out to ensure that they were doing okay. She also gave us plenty of updates which we really appreciated!”
“Jessie is phenomenal. I have a bunny named Roo and he is (naturally) my baby. Bunnies can be finicky and he doesn’t typically warm up to people quickly, but he LOVED her. She followed all instructions, spent quality time with him over the 4ish days she watched him and sent me plenty of pictures! I’ve had other people watch him before (some of those friends and family) and I have never felt this comfortable leaving him. Don’t hesitate to book Jessie - Roo (me too) is a big fan.”
“Rachel was wonderful. I booked her last minute for my cat and she was super responsive, always on time and went above and beyond with hanging out with my cat and taking incredible pictures.”
About: I’ve raised my dog since she was 3 months old. She battled an autoimmune disease, and I cared for her through medications, special diets, and recovery. That experience gave me a deep understanding of medical care, patience, and what it means to truly show up for a pet. I treat every dog like my own—with love, attentiveness, and a calm, caring presence. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work as a substitute paraprofessional with the Department of Education, which gives me a flexible schedule during the school year and full availability in the summer. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for—whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company throughout the day. With my open summer schedule, I’m especially available for longer stays or more frequent visits. Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide consistent, loving care tailored to each pet’s routine. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, clean space, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. In a client’s home, I maintain their routine and create a familiar, stress-free environment. I treat every pet like family and ensure they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times.
About: Former dog owner and shelter volunteer with over 15 years of experience. I’m a go-to sitter for friends and I’m an active runner on the Rockaway boardwalk. I'm very comfortable and capable with all temperaments and energy levels. I have a hybrid work schedule, where I work from home 3 days during the week, and would be able to take breaks for walks. Weekends I am free. I live in a 4th floor walk up that allows pets. Other tenants have dogs. I live less than 1 block away from the boardwalk and beach for walks.
About: Hi, my name is ShaAsia! I’m a loving cat owner myself (I have 2 fur babies 🐾), and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets when you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure every cat gets the attention, playtime, and care they deserve. Whether it’s feeding, litter box cleaning, or just giving cuddles, I’ll treat your cat like my own.
“I was really nervous leaving my Sylvester because I never did anything like this before but I must say I would definitely use them again I felt like they were family instead of a sitter for my boy they really were happy to care for him and I was happy I chose them it made my first experience a pleasant one”
“I have had Mary sit for my cat (Jack) multiple times over the last year and have never had a better sitter! She's incredibly professional and caring - sending us "visit" updates and photos the entire time. Mary is far and away my number 1 choice everytime!”
“Valeria was amazing staying with my 2 cats when i was away for a weekend! She took great care of them and sent picture updates everyday. She was also so easy to work with and flexible to my schedule - I almost had to cancel and she was able to work it out with me when I found out I didn't have to cancel! Will definitely have her come watch my boys again ☺️”
“Shanna did an amazing job caring for my cats while I was away on a much-needed vacation. From our initial meeting, my cats took to her right away, which was such a relief! She was very responsive and shared thoughtful, detailed updates in each Rover card. I genuinely looked forward to reading them after every visit. It was clear she cared for Skylar & Jackson as if they were her own. I was able to feel at ease during my trip because I knew they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: Unleash the Love: Transforming Pet Care into a Tail-Wagging Adventure! I have had the pleasure of caring for a wide range of pets over the past fifteen years, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. During this time, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors, allowing me to provide exceptional care and create a nurturing environment for each pet. I am a highly responsible and reliable caregiver, always ensuring the safety and security of the pets under my care. I am attentive to their individual needs and provide personalized attention, ensuring they receive the love, exercise, and mental stimulation they require. Moreover, I am a strong communicator and believe in building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners. I provide regular updates, photos, and videos to keep owners informed and reassured that their beloved pets are in capable hands. I am also attentive to the specific instructions and preferences of each pet owner, ensuring that their individual needs and routines are met. I am dedicated to providing exceptional care and creating a positive and enriching experience for both pets and their owners. I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to ensure your pet is receiving personalized attention, food, love, exercise, and mental stimulation. I have a house with a large living room that is usually my furry friends' playroom and bedtime. There are no other pets around except my adorable and friendly cat Cher.

“Doris is a super nice and responsible person. Very helpful and so caring. I’m so grateful to her for taking care so well of my baby. She always updates with photos and videos and I definitely know that my baby is in good hands.”
“Trying to find someone to take care of our 2 boys was extremely difficult until we came across Erica, she and her husband Jon are amazing. Erica kept us informed through the whole stay of how they were doing and sent tons of pictures throughout the day. She knew how to take care of our little yorkie to our big crazy energetic husky!”
About: For most of my life I have cared for many dogs as a pet owner and a dog sitter for friends, family and clients alike. Currently I freelance as a media professor and my schedule fluctuates from week to week so its always best to check my calendar for availability. The dogs will receive all my love and attention. I thrive off their unconditional love and I love to see them happy. Simple as that.
“Lina provided exceptional care for my baby, Viper. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. She not only tended to his basic needs but also showered him with love and attention. It was evident that she genuinely cared for his well-being and treated him as if he were her own. Throughout his stay, Lina kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing Viper was happy and content. Additionally, her knowledge and expertise in handling dogs reassured me that Viper was receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Lina to anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter.”
“Vivian really took care of Jayce like her own pooch. She’s very mindful and attentive to Jayce, especially with his anxiety she is very caring and really made him feel comfortable!”
About: I've always had animals growing up and I loved taking care of them. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own pets. I made sure they were fed a balanced diet, they had their daily walks, they were upto date with their vaccines. I also made sure that they were well-groomed, given lots of love and attention and spoiled rotten with toys! I currently work full time but I am available anytime after 3pm to pet sit the little cuties and I am free anytime on the weekends. I do not have yard space but I am close to the beach and there are a few parks to take the dogs for a walk!
“Michelle was amazing with Milo! This was our first time leaving him with someone else, so I was a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so much easier and more comfortable. She was very attentive, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs, which gave me a lot of reassurance. I really appreciated the updates and how she made sure Milo felt safe and cared for. When I picked him up, he was happy and relaxed, which means everything to me as a dog mom. It was clear he was in good hands the entire time. The pickup and drop-off process was also smooth and convenient, which I loved. Overall, I had a great experience and would absolutely trust Michelle with Milo again!”
“Thai was great and able to step in when our sitter canceled last minute. Thai was thorough and asked great questions to make sure this was a good fit for my dog Max. Max had a great time; would def have Thai watch him again!”
“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 !”
“Steven was perfect with our dog, sent amazing pictures and video, and kept us updated on how he was doing. Steven’s dogs are adorable and were the perfect playmates. We will absolutely be booking again very soon. Thank you!”
“Rachel was reliable and straightforward. Good communication and sent updates/pictures of my dog. I didn’t see her full set up but the little I saw (front part) was nice. Sorry it didn’t work out for my dog.”
“I can tell my doggy likes to go to Rachel's to hang because she always runs inside and seems excited to be there, which makes me feel so much better. Rachel also gets Selmy out of the house for car trips and neighborhood strolls.”
“Vanessa is a gem - responsive, polite, clean, caring, loving, and always available. We were looking for a pet sitter who could provide a loving and stable environment for our pup with separation anxiety, as we wanted to reduce his reliance on medication. Vanessa exceeded our expectations, providing a calm and nurturing presence that has greatly benefited our Blaze. We're grateful to have found her, and her care has given us peace of mind. If you're seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter, Vanessa is an excellent choice.”
“Kitty was super communicative and sent updates throughout the day. She was super patient with my blind senior dog with special needs and made sure she was comfortable during her stay. Highly recommend!”
“Our usual sitter who’s heaven sent is currently going through a personal trial and had to put a pause on dog sitting. So we turned to Rover and found Shanna. And we couldn’t be happier. She updated us throughout the day which made us feel at ease. She enjoys what’s she does and she’s such a sweetheart. We truly found another great sitter. Our dogs came home and went straight to their beds to take a nap. She played with them all day. She’s also very compassionate. She encountered an unexpected event and she updated us and actually mollified our concerns. There is something calming about someone who takes pride in what they do. And that is what Shanna was. And her mother and family are sweet. We will be booking with her again. And again……and again.”
“Absolutely stellar dog sitting experience! Shen, not only adheres to the pet's routine but goes above and beyond with meticulous attention to detail. From feeding schedules to playtime and walking preferences, every aspect is carefully accounted for. Highly impressed that she even has the whole schedule I provided listed on a sheet of paper. Felt at easing knowing my pup is staying in such exceptional care. Grateful for Shen and his husband who are both wonderful and loving people.”

About: I’m a born-again pet person and love spending time with cats and dogs.

About: My prominent pet care experience this year is with large dogs and kitties. Most of my dog experience is with big dogs, I’m happy to visit with small doggies too! Apart from pet care, I teach classes across the city (one hour classes throughout the week). It’s great when I have the opportunity to be with animals. It’s a little bit more chore work of course… I give all of the pet owners credit for doing what you do. During all visits I'm available by call or text. I provide quality care yet I do understand that sometimes when you’re away you might want a photo or two.
“It’s been amazing experience with Shannakae as a first time user of Rover. She is very caring and patient with our Cane Corso. You can tell that she really enjoys what she does. She is very genuine and easy to talk to. Great with communication! Wow! We love that she looks out for our dog’s best interest by giving us any recommendations that make him feel more comfortable and safe. Our dogs fell in love with her right away. She takes care of Hachi as her own :) At first, I was a bit worried because we’ve never hired a dog walker through the app, but Shannakae gives us piece of mind. I would recommend hiring her anytime, hands down! We are extremely pleased and thankful for how well she takes care of Hachi. Your pet will be in good hands! She is very reliable, quick responsive and extremely friendly. Hachi adores her! We look forward to continuing working with you! :)”

About: Hello, My name is Julius and I am a Brooklyn based photographer/multimedia artist. I am extremely responsible, amiable, and truly do have a special place in my heart for dogs. I was born and raised among these lovable beings due to my mother and father being dog-enthusiasts. Most importantly, I understand what it takes to raise a happy and healthy canine companion. It should always be kept in mind that dogs are a reflection of their environment and upbringing, therefore, in order to keep your pal happy and healthy lots of love and attention should be given to them! I am very flexible, so I am easy to work with and can adapt well to your schedule. Thank you in advance for considering me to help take care of your pet.
About: Hi y’all, I’m Aza! I am a caring and reliable pet sitter serving the Belle Harbor/ Rockaway Park area. I have 2 kitties of my own. I also had a large dog for 15 years. I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure they get the exercise, attention, and love they need. Over the past few years, I’ve worked with a local cat rescue and fostered 6 cats before adopting the last two. Many of my fosters came to me shy and scared, and I’ve had great success helping them feel safe, build and adjust to new people and homes. I’m available most weekdays and flexible on weekends. Please don’t hesitate to message me to ask for availability. I can make exceptions and squeeze you in last minute if I can. I am not currently employed so my schedule is very flexible. My rates are very reasonable. When caring for your pets, I’m attentive, punctual, and treat them like my own. I make sure they’re fed on time, walked or played with, and always safe. I’m careful with doors, mindful of their surroundings, and happy to give medication if needed. Very good with litter, keeping bowls clean, and lots of playing. I look forward to meeting your fur baby :) I am available for walks/ check ins most of the time. I do work a few nights a week but I will be updating my calendar and we can work out an arrangement for repeat visits / walks I always make sure your pets are fed on time, walked and played with. I always make sure to close the outside doors quickly after I enter so there’s no chance of your pet accidentally escaping. I’m always mindful of the surroundings. I genuinely enjoy making sure your pet is having a good time by engaging them in playing or just petting them. I am also punctual and experienced with giving your pets medication if they require it.
About: I have worked in a doggy daycare, I have grown up around big dogs, had multiple dogs in my life, and have been dog sitting consistently for over three years. I have watched all types of dogs, cats, birds, and kids! I love all animals and have a puppy myself! I am a student, but other than school, I have a lot of free time. My schedule is very flexible I’m sure we can work something out! I live with my girlfriend and our dog, so your pet would have our full attention. I take my dogs on walks everyday, and am very athletic if your pet likes to run. I also have worked with dogs of all ailments, from blind or deaf, to old and unable to walk. Whatever you’re looking for, I can provide
About: I've always had animals growing up and I loved taking care of them. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own pets. I made sure they were fed a balanced diet, they had their daily walks, they were upto date with their vaccines. I also made sure that they were well-groomed, given lots of love and attention and spoiled rotten with toys! I currently work full time but I am available anytime after 3pm to pet sit the little cuties and I am free anytime on the weekends. I do not have yard space but I am close to the beach and there are a few parks to take the dogs for a walk!

“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!!”
“I chose Rachel to board my cat for a three and a half week trip. I am so glad Rachel was my choice! She communicated consistently and sent pictures. If anything seemed to be worrisome, she reached out right away. In addition to her updates about my cat's behavior, she showed that she took care of my cat with care and love for animals. I will definitely be using Rachel again and highly recommend her!”
“Erica is amazing. I have been boarding my dog with her since 2019. Whether it's for just a few nights or for two weeks, I'm always confident my dog will not only be in great care but will enjoy every minute of her time in Erica's care. My dog always gets plenty of outdoor playtime with other dogs in a large grassy safe contained area. At night, Erica makes sure Kikki is warm and cozy in a big comfy dog bed. If my dog sees me as her dog-dad, she definitely sees Erica as her dog-aunt. From her words, her actions and my dog's response to her, I can tell Erica treats Kiki as if she were her own dog. As a bonus, Errica will send you high-quality pictures and videos daily, many of which you will want to save or print for framing and display. If you want the best care and experience for your dog when you travel, board with Erica!”

Pam Eila sent so many pictures and her whole family gave JoJo so much love. If I could leave 1 million stars, I would. Will use again! Thank you Pamela!”

“Kyle was so great with Darcy. He met up with us prior to her stay with him to get know her a bit and find out more about her and her routine. She took to him right away which made me happy to see that I’d be leaving her with a sitter that she really liked. He provided regular updates throughout her stay and was flexible on drop-off and pick-up. I really appreciate him taking such good care of her while I was away. Would highly recommend!”

“Diana was very responsive and professional with my stay for my young high energy dog. She sent adorable pictures very often which made me happy while I was away. Her home is spacious and clean, and there's a backyard which was perfect for my dog to go potty in the snowy weather during my trip. Would definitely recommend and book again! Thank you Diana!!”
“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!”
“Syndi had a great 3 days with Tiffany. Easy meet and greet. I always have trouble with the drop off saying goodbye to my pup but Tiffany makes you feel like you are leaving her in great hands. Syndi looked comfortable and happy in pictures. Would definitely use Tiffany again and I recommend her highly.”
