“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!”
“My first time leaving Lola alone with anyone so naturally I was very nervous, but as soon as I met Sam I felt much better. She has a very calming and nurturing spirit and my dog took to her and her family instantly. Her home is clean and tidy and even has a backyard. While I was away Sam followed all directions, sent photos and any necessary updates about Lola. I would definitely book with her again and now I know I don’t have to worry the next time I need to go out of town.”
“From the start Wendy was so easy to work with for scheduling and quick to respond. She sent photos and check-ins throughout, which were really nice. Would definitely book again and recommend boarding with Wendy.”
“Doris was awesome with accommodating a last-minute request to board Brownie due to an event. I was having at home. Drop off and pick up we’re extremely easy and she sent me photos of Brownie several times. Doris and her daughter were very gentle with her, and I would definitely recommend her services!”
“Michele was great, she took good care of Zuko and sent a ton of pictures. She was accommodating and flexible to his needs as well. Thank you to Michele for being a great sitter”
“Rachel took great care of my dog. This is the second time he stayed with Rachel and I think he really enjoyed his stay there. The regular photo updates were great. It was good to know he was well taken care of while we were away.”
“My dog is like my furry kid. He’s very special to me so whenever I have to leave him I get super anxious. Lenford eased that anxiety. He was very warm and welcoming to me and my dog. He made me feel like I had nothing to worry about and that my dog was in caring hands. He’s also really communicative. He sent me lots of pictures and video to keep my updated on how my dog was doing in his care. Lenford is amazing and will be my go to from now on,”
“Lina took great care of my little boy. We left him for couple of days and he seemed so happy and healthy with her. Would really recommend Lina to anyone and will definitely pick her again with no doubt.”
“Katerina took great care of my dog! Very easy to communicate with, always provided pictures and updates, and was extremely accommodating. It’s easy to tell my dog had a great time staying with her. Thank you!”
“Erica is the Best. Sitter. Ever! She took amazing care of our ball obsessed one year old Lab puppy Junie over the holidays. Truly went above and beyond expectations and had a great understanding of our dog. Loved the amazing updates and incredible videos and photos of Junie playing with her new fur friends. We are planning to rebook in February when we are away next.”
“Judith is amazing. From the first hour I left my baby with Judith and her husband I was updated multiple pics each day that sheena was with them. I love how Judith and her Husband came to greet me, this made me comfortable in knowing whom would be around my dog. They actually Made my baby sad to come home so I know she had a good time, in two weeks I’ll be booking again. Thanks guys!!”
“Coco always looks happy when I pick her up from Ben's care. She jumps back-and-forth to us like she doesn't know who to go to - which really eases my mind about her stay with Ben and his pup Colby”
“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!!”

“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!”
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!”
“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.”
“Ariella was a total professional and went above and beyond to drop in on our sweet cat Claude while we were away for almost two weeks. She sent updates and photos daily and really seemed invested in how Claude was doing. She also noticed that a winter storm was due and proactively notified us. She topped up his food and water beforehand, and made sure he would be comfortable if she was snowed in for a day. But that wasn’t even necessary, because she came to visit him at 6 am to beat the snow on day one, and on the second day of the storm had her car dug out and came over to complete her visit. It takes so much to trust someone with your pet and to be in your house, and Ariella earned that right away with us. Thank you Ariella!!!”
“Brittany is amazing! Our shy introverted cat Lesia were comfortable around Brittany, and became friendly very quickly, wich is unusual for Lesia. Brittany is a very professional and responsible!”
“Stephanie and Brian are great pet sitters! I felt so comfortable knowing they were taking good care of my cat while I was away. They sent me updates and pictures and were very accommodating. Highly recommend them. Will definitely be rebooking with them in the future!”
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: 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: I am a 23 year old veterinary nurse, currentky working my way to vet school.I love all sorts of animals, but cats hold a special place in my heart! Cats are wonderful animals with unique and sometimes complicated personalities. Once they trust you, they can be some of the most loving little creatures. I've had cats all my life and some of my favorite patients are cats. Right now I don't have a cat, but I love my mom's cat a whole lot.
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.
“Rachel did a great job taking care of Zu! He needed a friend while I was away and she definitely provided! She also provided all the necessary care and maintenance that comes with a FIV cat. Will definitely reach out to her again.”
About: I first began cat sitting at 16 when a friend of mine travelled out of the country on holiday. Although I have experience in caring for strays in the neighborhood I grew up in, I would say caring for my friend's cat was the first official experience I had where I was not just feeding a cat but cleaning up after it (cleaning the litter box), providing light grooming sessions (brushing) and entertainment through puzzles, toys and enjoying some down time (cuddles). My first job at the private veterinary practice as I got older allowed me to expand my knowledge of basic cat care from feeding and brushing to administering oral or topical medication. Additionally, moving onto an overnight supervisory position at a daycare facility-with special attention to it's "cattery" furthered my experience with understanding feline behavior as well as effective cleaning methods for maintaining their temporary away-from-home arrangements.
“Mary is great and truly cares about cats. She goes above and beyond to make sure our cats are safe and taken care of while we are away. She also recommended products for an issue we are battling. I hope she is available everytime we need a sitter.”
About: I always had a dog growing up so I am very familiar with dogs and the care they require. In high school I got my own puppy who I raised and trained by myself. In addition to this I watched my neighbors cats every time her family went on vacation so I also have experience caring for cats as well as dogs! I’m home for the summer and have full availability! I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I would like to care for each pet exactly as instructed by the client to ensure the pet is comfortable. If allowed by the client, I enjoy taking pets outdoors for walks, exercise, and fresh air whenever appropriate

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.”
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.
“Judith, is a wonderful caring loving caregiver to my baby girl Bella. Judith and her family welcome Bella with open arms and made her feel like she's a part of the family I definitely will be rebooking with her often five stars .❤❤”
“We love Erica! Highly recommend. She’s amazing and loving and patient. We drive from Deerfield Beach to Aventura to drop off our puppy and I wouldn’t have it any other way ❤️”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 !”
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!
“She was really responsive and sent updates throughout the day. I felt really secure leaving my new puppy in her very capable hands. She’s also very kind and warm with them, which is super helpful.”

“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!”
“Kitty always comes through when we’re in a tight spot - I needed to visit the dentist today and scout spent the afternoon hanging out with Kitty. Always a five star report from scout and we’ve already booked the next stay!”
“Robin was the BEST! She agreed to do a meet and greet with me and even brought her pups to meet my princess Honey. Even though I felt comfortable with her through our chats, meeting her in person beforehand put the cherry on top. Once booked, she took great care of of my Honey girl, sent so many photos and gave me cute updates while I was at work. This was my first booking and definitely will not be the last. She can absolutely be trusted with your fur babies. I’m so glad I took a chance as she made the experience worthwhile. Now my Honey has a home away from home!! Thank you Robin, see you again :)”
“This was my fur baby, Milo’s first time attending daycare. Initially, I was concerned about how he would adjust to a new environment. The fact that Stephanie provided me with pictures and contacted me prior to his stay made me feel more comfortable leaving him with her. It was a pleasant surprise to see Stephanie had created a welcoming environment and her fur baby was also present, which I felt was an excellent opportunity for Milo to be able to socialize with other dogs. In addition to toys and treats, Stephanie provided Milo with everything he needed to feel comfortable. Additionally, Stephanie sent many updates and pictures of Milo throughout the day. As soon as I picked him up, I could tell he had enjoyed his stay and that he would be returning in the future. Stephanie, thank you so much for taking such excellent care of Milo!”
“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.”
“Rachel & John were incredible with our energetic and playful puppy. Their beautiful dog, Kimbo, quickly became our pup's best friend and dealt with his young demeanor with patience. Our puppy returned home as tired as he does after a day at the dog park which is a huge luxury after a long day at work. Rachel was very communicative and flexible with our schedule, her home is spacious, clean and the backyard is a huge plus. Very lovely people generally, would love to book again in the future.”

About: I have had pets, or as I say friends my whole life. For the past 22 years, I have taken care of my own as an adult. I have had both cats and dogs both at the same time. I treat all of my friends like family. I am a dedicated animal lover. I live in Rockaway beach. I am available on Thursdays and Fridays and most weekends. I am available Monday-Wednesday after 6PM. I am very flexible as well to accommodate special requests. I do not have a fenced in yard, however, I take my dog Tina for long walks around Rockaway, on the beach off season, and to the dog run on Shore.
“Ariella calmed my anxiety whether she knows it or not! Took care of my nearly 7 month old pup, Alf with confidence and care. Very much look forward for Ariella and Alf to hang out again!”
“I received a video right away. My dog, Lucy, adapted to Brittany right away. Lucy is usually timid around new people, but was attached to Brittany with no problem! Will definitely be reaching out to Brittany again!”
About: My prominent pet care experience this year is with pitbulls and kitties (of separate families). 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.
About: I’m a born-again pet person and love spending time with cats and dogs. Over the past five years, I’ve had the joy of fostering cats, providing them with a loving and caring environment while they await their forever homes. I look forward to meeting your furry companions and providing them with the care, attention, and love they deserve while you’re away! I am currently on a career break and have a lot of flexible time to dedicate to house sitting, drop-in visits, and walking your pet. When caring for pets in my client's home, I follow all instructions to a tee and pay careful attention to the changing needs of the animal. I am communicative and responsive should any issues arise.
About: I differentiate myself by offering specialized skills like administering medication, handling medical emergencies, and providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. Building trust through expertise and professionalism is key in communicating effectively in order to deliver the best possible care. Additionally, my own experience with my dog has also granted me the ability to understand and meet such needs as well as the emotional needs of any pet, and to establish a trusted relationship with both pet and owner! I am currently a per diem part-time nanny to a family in New Jersey while attending online college classes; however, the alignment of both schedules allows me the flexibility to include my passion for pet care! I am flexible and available most weekdays between 9AM-2PM and weekends between 10AM-7PM. My work experience in animal welfare in clinical and boarding facilities allows me to apply what I have learned into what I can do. As an overnight supervisor in a doggy daycare environment, pets are cared for by providing a safe and stimulating environment, ensuring their well-being, and offering socialization opportunities with other dogs. This includes activities such as playtime, walks, feeding, and monitoring their behavior whereas in a clinical setting, caring for pets involves monitoring vital signs, administering treatments, conducting medical procedures, and providing post-operative care. It also includes maintaining cleanliness, following strict protocols, and ensuring a comfortable environment for the animals. Although not as extensive in daycare or clinical facilities, in-home pet care allows for individualized attention where needed as needed without the external stressors of a constantly changing environment. In-home care involves the basics of pet welfare and includes providing food, water, exercise, and companionship. Additionally, administering medication, following specific care instructions, and maintaining a safe environment are crucial, all of which I can provide based on my background and experience.

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats my whole life. Friends and family have had me house sit and walk their dogs and check in on their cats for many years. I have a bachelor's degree in Animal Science and plenty of experience with small pets, birds and livestock as well! Any animal you have, I can care for. I have experience with medication, wound care, and injections if your pet needs those things as well. I've worked with plenty of seniors, young puppies/kittens, and special needs animals over the years too. I currently only work very early mornings and afternoons on Thursdays and Saturdays. I have time in my schedule to walk, feed, and check in on pets of all sorts. When at your home I can play with your dogs or cats. I can work on basic obedience and crating as well. I will clean any bowls, crates, or play areas needed and have no problem scooping waste from your yard if requested after letting your dog out. I will try my best to make your pet feel safe and comfortable with me at all times.
“Rachel followed instructions very well and was so patient with Chimmy and Chammy. I am so grateful for her care and attention for my furbabies! Highly recommend her!”
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: 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: I always had a dog growing up so I am very familiar with dogs and the care they require. In high school I got my own puppy who I raised and trained by myself. In addition to this I watched my neighbors cats every time her family went on vacation so I also have experience caring for cats as well as dogs! I’m home for the summer and have full availability! I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I would like to care for each pet exactly as instructed by the client to ensure the pet is comfortable. If allowed by the client, I enjoy taking pets outdoors for walks, exercise, and fresh air whenever appropriate
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!

“My first time leaving Lola alone with anyone so naturally I was very nervous, but as soon as I met Sam I felt much better. She has a very calming and nurturing spirit and my dog took to her and her family instantly. Her home is clean and tidy and even has a backyard. While I was away Sam followed all directions, sent photos and any necessary updates about Lola. I would definitely book with her again and now I know I don’t have to worry the next time I need to go out of town.”

Truly went above and beyond expectations and had a great understanding of our dog. Loved the amazing updates and incredible videos and photos of Junie playing with her new fur friends. We are planning to rebook in February when we are away next.”
“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!!”

“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!”
“Steven and Jennifer were great. This was our first time boarding our 2 boys and we were anxious and did not want to separate them. They sent us pictures and videos of the boys playing with their dog daily. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is nervous about leaving their dogs with strangers. They are good people who will care for your fur babies with care and affection.”

“This is our first time having boarding our dog and Xiao took very good care of him. The communication has been easy. She sent photos and videos throughout the day which is always nice and reassuring. Our dog can sleep on the couch like he always does at home. There is also an enclosed dog run nearby where Xiao took him running and he had fun.”
“Anton came through for me with a super last-min request and was great with Alfie. He took him to the park to burn off energy, sent plenty of photos, and Alfie was happily tired when I picked him up. Highly recommend!”
