Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ruby
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ruby
“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!”
“Nicole was absolutely amazing!!! She was so responsive, sent lots of pics and I’ve never seen my dog so happy in someone else’s home! 10/10 experience!!! Thank you Nicole for taking such perfect care of Misha!!!”
“Gabe and Annie took amazing care of our dog Apollo! My fiancé and I were in the Catskills for the weekend, but didn't want to board our dog in NYC. Apollo had a great time and got along great with Gabe's dogs. If we're in the area again and need a pet sitter, I'm definitely reaching out to Gabe!”
“Nicole has a wonderful fenced property and is extremely attentive to our puppy and senior dogs needs, making sure they are getting along well with her other guests, sending lots of photos and updates! We would love to book again!”
“Cipriana and Pamela were communicative and professional. Dorito was much calmer than I thought she would be for her first overnight away. Thank you!”
“Jane is an amazing doggie caregiver. She clearly adores the canines and is kind and gentle with them. Her home is clean and set up to accommodate her guests. Her communication is prompt and she keeps You in the loop with pictures and videos. We are so glad we found Jane and will use her again.”
“Rosalie continues to be an amazing sitter and great buddy to our dear poodle, Rumor. She was very understanding and flexible when we had to push back our pickup time. Just love her!”
“Victoria is truly the best! Patient with our dog, super flexible with timing, very communicative, and you could tell by her messages that she really gets to know the personality of a dog and understands how to approach different dogs and different ways!”
“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!”
“We had a family medical issue and was able to book Jacqueline quickly. Our dogs are both rescues and it matters a great deal to us who we bring into their lives. Jacqueline immediately made us, and our dogs, feel comfortable and within 5 minutes of being with them, our eldest was resting in her lap. Jaqueline sent constant photos and updates and we are very grateful to have found her and will for sure book her again. TY again, Jaqueline. That last note was from the pups!”
“I wanted to give the highest recommendation to Volha as a dog-sitter! My 1.5 year old pitbull mix stayed with Volha and her family for 3 nights (3.5 days.) I have to admit, this being my first time using the service, I was a bit nervous. Not because I do not trust Rover, but because my dog in particular is very timid, shy, and can be very introverted - so I did not know how she would take to being left for days with strangers (except for meeting Volha in the park for a few minutes a few days before.) It turns out i had nothing to worry about! She immediately took to the family and stayed on a normal behavioral and sleep schedule and seems to have had a great time. For reference, in the past, even when my dog would stay WITH me but I would take her out of town for a couple of days, she would act a bit strange after being knocked out of her normal routine. (Nothing super out of the ordinary - but she would, for example, go hide in the bathroom for a few hours and generally act very despondent.) My point is - whatever Volha and her family are doing is great! My dog came back happy, healthy, and energetic. In terms Volha's communication style, she sent me several pictures and written updates during the days when I was gone, going out of her way to be in touch and asking the extra questions to make sure that everything was okay. Pending availability, I definitely plan to work with Volha again!”
“Loretta is AMAZING! We left our dog for the first time ever with her & by the time we came back for him to pick him up, he didn’t wanna leave! She sends pics & videos the entire time & it’s just reassurance that your fur baby is doing just fine! It’s never easy to leave our pets but if you ever need to, book Loretta! You will not be disappointed. She is our official dog sitter!”
“Janice cared for my two "Bagels" as if they were part of her family. My two goofballs are not your average pups—so extra care was needed and generously given during their 11-day stay. They came back clean, well-exercised, and happy, and I know they are looking forward to another visit with Janice at the end of October!”
“I had a great experience with Maria. It’s evident that she and her family truly love animals based on how well they cared for my cat, Pumpkin. Maria also responds quickly and happily sent photos showing Pumpkin as happy and healthy, which I really appreciate. 10/10 I will be booking again! Thanks Maria!”
“Jennifer was absolutely fantastic! Great communication throughout, sent pictures and a little summary every day. Definitely the most comfortable I’ve ever felt leaving our dog with someone for a longer period of time.”
“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!”

Cat caregivers near you - Ruby
“We went out of town last minute and Joseph very kindly agreed to that’s it for us for the first time. He was very quick to respond, a good communicator, and very reliable. He spent some great quality time with our cats and took extra care giving them some love. Definitely will book again. Thank you so much Joseph!”
“Victoria went above and beyond to take care of our kitty—over the holiday season and regardless of a blizzard that made travel difficult, she showed up! The updates and photos were so appreciated and thank you for bringing in our packages and deliveries too. Highly recommend and will book with her again!”
“Robin was the perfect caregiver for our two kitties. They clearly felt comfortable with her right away despite her being a new person in their lives. Her demeanor with them and their response to her was a testament to Robin's affinity with animals. When the need arises we will request Robin again.”
“Vicki was fantastic in looking after my cat over the holidays. She even proactively reached out earlier in the month to see if I’d be traveling and needing her services- making sure her “regulars” are covered first. Really appreciate her ongoing help with my cat. Thanks Vicki!”
“Alexa was wonderful with our cat and angora rabbits. She was very responsive and kept us up to date each day while we were away, which was very appreciated. I will definitely book with her again in the future”
“Amazing service and communication. Very prompt responses and overall excellent person to deal with, I would trust her with my animals any day. She was great at handling some inconveniences related to entering the property and our landlord.”
“Barbara was extremely responsive and helped us in a time-sensitive situation with our kitty. She provided excellent communication and was a huge help. We highly recommend her!”
“They take good care of my cat and always keep me updated. They are very reliable and I particularly appreciate how clean and tidy they leave the house. Thanks for washing out the empty cat tins so thoroughly!!”
“Alina was amazing with my cat Izzy. Izzy doesn't come out for everyone but came out for Alina each time. Alina's reports were sothorough and made me feel like my cat was being so well cared for.”
“Jamie was fantastic and came over the day before we needed care. Jamie was communicative, sent pics, and loved on our cats. We are so grateful and relieved that we were able to work with Jamie last minute!”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! My 11 year old cat was snuggling with her when she visited. Emily took great care of my baby and sent me photos and videos of her when I was traveling. I highly recommend Emily and will definitely reach out to her next time we go away!”
“Savannah was so amazing with our cat Tami She is truly a special cat lover and caretaker We came home to a calm and happy kitty! We enthusiastically recommend her!!!”
“Katherine is so sweet and my kitties love spending time with her! She is communicative and always makes sure the cats are well cared for. She does great with my one cat that needs meds - I would highly recommend booking with her!!!”
“Nicole was great! It was so nice knowing that my dog was well taken care of and comfortable while I was on vacation. I won't be using a kennel or boarder ever again. My jack russel mix can be a handful at times but Nicole handled him very well and kept me in the loop with how he was doing. Overall wonderful experience.”
“In November my previous Rover pet-sitter found full-time employment so I needed to find a new sitter for my amazing cat Huckleberry and quickly because my husband and I would be traveling over Christmas week. I immediately started my search for local pet-sitters on the Rover app. When I read Arthur’s bio I was immediately struck by his focus on cats. This was not something I had seen before as cats typically seem to be an afterthought or at least second to dogs in most pet-sitters bios. I contacted him right away and asked about his availability for Christmas week and could he come by that weekend for a meet and greet. He said yes to all and the rest is history! Long story short, he took great care of Huckleberry. He didn’t just drop in and feed him, he really played with and enjoyed him. When our flight got canceled Arthur had no issue taking on another shift with very short notice. I can’t say enough good things about Arthur, he really loves cats and even shared product recommendations that worked with his cats. I would definitely book him again.”
“Victoria is awesome! She took care of Pippi, our very senior (21-year-old) kitty, along with our 100-year old house for over a week. Victoria texted us daily with pictures and videos and left everything in perfect order. She took such good care of Pippi, who is mostly deaf, often grumpy, sometimes confused, and still a bit sassy - not always an easy task. Victoria is a five-star sitter!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ruby
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.
“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.”
“Jane is wonderful! She went out of her way to help us when we had some issues with the app and with scheduling. She was clear and kind with our dog who can sometimes be a little anxious. Our pup felt right at home as soon as she walked into Jane’s house and was happily exhausted by the end of the day. Thank you, Jane! We will be back soon!”
“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!”
“This is our 3rd time using Eleanor for Sparky’s care. And we already have her scheduled again for a week in March. She continues to exceed our expectations. She has a genuine interest in Sparky and they both adore each other. We consider ourselves lucky to have made this connection with Eleanor.”
About: I didn’t get to experience the joy of growing up with dogs or cats but as soon as I was able I began taking in fosters from the NYC shelter system. It was quite a learning experience spending time with many dogs (and a few cats) of all different types and personalities. I no longer foster but I bring the experience and dedication from working with so many shelter pets to caring for your furry family members. And as a pet parent now myself I have been through many sitters so I understand what makes a good one! A note on boarding and meet and greets: I’m happy to have boarding candidates come by to meet me and check out the space but I do not do meet and greets with my own dogs. My dogs are dog friendly but they are too chaotic and excitable to meet new dogs and owners right away. New dogs are kept separate at first and introduced at their own pace when everyone is calm. This minimizes stress for everyone and allows for better interactions. I currently work out of the house Monday/Wednesday/Friday but my schedule is somewhat flexible. The rest of the week I work at home and I am often available all weekend. Dogs in my home have access to a securely fenced large yard for running and fetch, as well as a quiet neighborhood for walks. If the weather is warm dogs have access to a dog door so they may go outside as they please. If your dog likes to play with other dogs mine will certainly be happy to accommodate but they can also have separate spaces if quiet time is needed. In your home I will make every effort to keep your pets schedule as familiar as possible while offering lots of love and stimulation. As someone who has had many sitters come through and stay at my house I understand the importance of trust and cleanliness so you can be away without worry.
“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.”
“Communication with Amy and Chris was smooth and easy. They're both very caring, and Boo had a good day with Chris. I will say that given Boo's energy level -- he's a hunting-dog mutt who loves to run --he's probably better off where there's a fenced yard or an opportunity for long walks...but this is no reflection on Amy and Chris. It was our choice to give them a try.”
About: Hello! My partner and I have dog-sat for friends many times, but the request doesn’t come frequently enough! We’re happy to host your pet and treat it as if it were our own. We work nearby our apartment and can walk your dog during the day. We are fine with pets on our furniture and in our bed, but will respect any training you have in place. We’ll joyfully take your pet on long walks and adhere to feeding schedules. I have trained my family dogs in the past, and are happy to teach your pup a few new tricks! We ask for well-behaved, house-trained dogs OR crate-trained provided you have a crate. We’ll adore your pet completely while you’re away with all the attention you would provide to be sure it doesn’t get too lonely without you! Happy to send through photo updates so you can sleep easy knowing they’re in good hands. I have been working from home and accommodate just about every dog’s schedule! Generally, most of the dogs we sit are walked 2-4 times a day and fed twice. We have a spacious and secure 2 bedroom aparment and are generally home all week, with lots of lounging around on the weekends as well. We always prioritize your pet’s needs above all else and will comply with their typical schedule.
“My dog absolutely loves Jesmine and Channon’s place. She always looks to be having a good time. Today she didn’t even want to leave. These are good people and I look forward to my pup staying with them again.”
“Kery is super nice, has a great space for hosting my pup, great communication, and the wonderful experience. I highly recommend. The minute my boy got there he went right to her and didn't even look back for me when I started the car and left. That says a lot.”
About: I am recently retired and a new dog owner as of 2024. I enjoy spending time with dogs and my own dog, Tilly, is very socialable with other dogs and humans. The fenced in backyard is a combination of grass and woods, providing plenty of areas to explore, relax and play. Currently retired and a relatively new dog owner (1+ year). I can host your pet any day of the week providing I am home. I enjoy walking, playing and napping with my dog Tilly and would provide the same level of care for your dog. My backyard is fenced in and provides plenty of space to roam around. There are paths through the wooded area, a large section of grass and plenty of shade. On a pleasant day, your pup will spend a good deal of time playing with our dog Tilly outside and then napping on the couch or an outside bed.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Ruby
“Joe is a true professional and animal lover. He took excellent care of my Spinone Italiano and went above and beyond what was expected. My dog immediately felt secure and calm with Joe. I would highly recommend him for anyone in search of superlative dog care.”
“Dave is the best! He is so easy to work with. He treats my girl as if she was his own. Neighbors who have seen him with her sang his praises to me. She loves her walks with him. All I have to do is say his name and she gets excited. He is kind and trustworthy and has my highest recommendation. Our time has ended due to us moving out of the area which breaks my heart for my girl but whoever chooses Dave for their pets, you won’t find better!”
“Robin was exactly on time for her first walk with our 6-month old Izzy. Izzy loves every dog or person she meets. so I wasn't surprised when she greeted Robin affectionately. After a few minutes of instruction, they were off for their first walk together. When they returned, Robin described their adventure in detail. She was articulate and accurate, given Izzy's typical behavior (for example: she doesn't "get" that a dog growling at her means "keep away." }. Big news: Izzy must have felt very comfortable with Robin, since this was the very first time that she peed on-leash during a dog walk away from our yard. I felt extremely comfortable with Robin also and would recommend her highly. I will use her again, for sure!”
“Lindsay was ultra reliable. She showed up when she said she would, took Rambo on full 30 minute walks, and seemed to enjoy his company. It gave me so much piece of mind to go into the city for the day knowing Rambo was in such good hands.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds since childhood, ranging from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra care. I’m a trained dog handler with the Ulster County SPCA and regularly provide dog sitting, walking and drop-in services. Whether your dog wants quiet peaceful snugs, or enthusiastic playtime and hikes… I’m your lady! Clients often tell me their dogs have even better times on vacation than they do! 🩷🐾 I care for each pup like it’s my own. Happy to provide references ups on request! I have a flexible, hybrid work schedule that allows me to accommodate walls, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week and on weekends (and even a few work from home days for more time with your pup!). I’m able to provide consistent attention, timely visits, and plenty of engagement, whether your dog needs a quick walk, regular check-ins or more extended care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality and needs, and I follow all instructions closely. In your home, I aim to keep your dog’s environment familiar and stress-free. For boarding, I offer a calm, quiet, child/pet-ffee space where your dog will receive attentive, individualized care and supervision (and lots of walks or hikes, if you like!).
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life - from family pets, to pets of my own. I love all animals. We do not deserve them, but I do my best to earn their love every day. I truly enjoy providing them with all the love and safety they need. I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs. I cared for my sweet German Shorthaired Pointer (Hunter), who had cancer. Now I shower my young Aussie Mountain Doodle puppy (Selena) with love every day, teaching her to learn and grow, and brushing her constantly so her doodle fur does not get matted and she stays looking beautiful. I have fully potty trained her, she has learned a few commands, and with my guidance, she is getting better and better at walking on her leash. I also have two amazing senior kitties (Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin). They make me smile everyday. They are 14 years young, so they have started to have some slight health decline (cataracts, arthritis, hyperthyroidism), so I have gotten better and better at senior cat care. One of my kitties requires a pill twice a day, so I am an expert at administering pills to cats as well. I am also very good about making sure they have the freshest litter and litter boxes. I even house their litter boxes in special enclosures to give them privacy and a place of their own to do their business. From caring for my own pets, to feeding the squirrels and birds in my backyard, to rescuing stray cats - my love for animals knows no bounds. All animals deserve love, and I promise to care for you pets as if they were my own ❤️ I work full-time for a non-profit, but I work from home 3 days a week and only go into the office 2 times a week. This means I have some flexibility in my schedule on week days. On weekends I am wide open! At my home, I have a routine with my animals. They are fed right around the same times everyday, they are given fresh water twice a day, my one cat gets his medicine at the same time twice a day, and they all get a lot of pets and some treats daily as well. My puppy gets at least 2 walks a day, some swim time if the weather is nice, and A LOT of play time with her many toys every day. My cats do not like to play much now that they are older, but I do my best to keep them active with the few toys they show interest in. I have also converted my back porch into an enclosed catio in order to fulfill their dreams of being outdoor cats! In your home, I would utilize my stellar attention to detail in order to carefully follow your guidance. That way I can keep your pet(s) on their usual routine as much as possible so that they are as comfortable and feel as safe as possible. I am also a wonderful and thorough communicator, so I would ensure you were fully aware of everything so that you can feel comfortable as well.
“Lilly is the dog-whisperer! My dogs are so happy to see her, and she has such a skilled way of handling their enthusiasm. I am so glad to be able to trust her with my pets.”
About: Hey there, fellow dog lovers! I’m Nicole, your go-to gal for reliable, loving dog walks and drop-in visits. With over a decade of experience, I know how to keep pups happy, active, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve grown up with dogs and truly love spending time with them. Whether that’s getting their energy out on a walk or stopping by for playtime, potty breaks, and some extra love and attention. I’m here to make sure your dog stays on their routine and feels comfortable in their own home. I have two dogs of my own, a 8 year old Shepherd mix, Freya, and a 2 year old mixed breed, Thorin, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack, with patience, care, and plenty of belly rubs. Whether you need daily walks, a midday check-in, or help while you’re busy or away, I’ve got you covered. You can count on me for dependable communication, updates, and lots of happy tail wags. Ready to make your pup’s day a little brighter? Reach out, I’d love to help! I am currently not working so I have a lot of free time during the day to go on walks and spend lots of quality time with your pup ! I have a fenced in yard, while it’s not huge, it’s great for quick potty breaks and some zooming around. I have a car to go to the dog park at Kingston Point Park, and also have a great neighborhood to walk around in. I allow my dogs on the couch, but understand if that is not something you prefer.
“Jessica is absolutely lovely, warm, upbeat, reliable. She has been walking my dog regularly and has an incredibly sweet rapport with him. He adores her and we are so so grateful to have found her.”
About: I love animals and grew up around dogs, cats and horses. I have been taking care of my neighbors and friend’s pets since age 12. I joke with my friends that I am basically a dog — I need walks and love to cuddle on the couch — so your pet’s joy is my joy! I can fit your animal’s speed — whether that’s high energy, loves play/ physical/mental stimulation or likes it low and slow, with an emphasis on resting, cuddling, or just being in the same room together. Currently, I have a 13 year old cat and spent 2 years walking small, medium and large dogs at the local shelter, giving me experience building trusting relationships with animals with a wide range of experiences. My pet care style is affectionate with solid boundaries and I am experienced at observing pet behavior to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I love watching dog training videos and am excited to consistently learn YOUR pet. I seek to meet the needs of your pet, whatever that might be — in play time, walks, brushing, feeding or chill time. I love building relationships with animals and treat them as my own while they are in my care. And, I love sending you photos and videos of our time together! I work from home, so am happy to keep your pet company on week days, weeknights and weekends while you are away, depending on your and your pet’s needs. Caring for dogs in a place that they feel safe, like their own home, is a priority. I am comfortable following a pet’s usual routine or creating a new one for us.
About: I will keep you updated throughout the day letting you know how your pet is doing. If you'd like, I can even send you pictures showing how happy your pet is. I freelance in film production which allows me to be flexible with days and time. I have a wired sleeping schedule too which will allow me to go whenever to watch your pet. I make sure my roommates dog is always walked, fed, loved, played with, and above all, has water. I have a natural caring gift for all animals.
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. Since I am retired, I am able to tend to your pets needs 24/7. I have a very flexible schedule and I am a very active person that will take your dog out for many walks. I live in a spacious condo alone, and do not have any pets. My complex has a dog park which is maintained and kept clean if approved by you. Your pet will receive top notch service under my care.
“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+”
About: An experienced and professional petsitter who has previously worked for On Paws Professional Pet Services in San Marcos, Texas. I have also grown up with two dogs and a bird, who have since passed. My roommates' cats and dogs have felt like family to me, and treated as such. Since living on my own I’ve had my own cat, Umami who is the cutest character and wild child that I loved so dearly! I would love to keep your pet company (and vise versa!) I’m currently only working remotely part-time, so I have some wiggle room to care for your pet(s)! I would be able to feed, play, and walk with them during my time off! I would definitely treat them as my own, and try to make them as happy and comfortable as possible, while making sure their needs are met.

“Gabe and Annie took amazing care of our dog Apollo! My fiancé and I were in the Catskills for the weekend, but didn't want to board our dog in NYC. Apollo had a great time and got along great with Gabe's dogs. If we're in the area again and need a pet sitter, I'm definitely reaching out to Gabe!”
“Nicole has a wonderful fenced property and is extremely attentive to our puppy and senior dogs needs, making sure they are getting along well with her other guests, sending lots of photos and updates! We would love to book again!”
“Cipriana and Pamela were communicative and professional. Dorito was much calmer than I thought she would be for her first overnight away. Thank you!”
“Jane is an amazing doggie caregiver. She clearly adores the canines and is kind and gentle with them. Her home is clean and set up to accommodate her guests. Her communication is prompt and she keeps You in the loop with pictures and videos. We are so glad we found Jane and will use her again.”
“Rosalie continues to be an amazing sitter and great buddy to our dear poodle, Rumor. She was very understanding and flexible when we had to push back our pickup time. Just love her!”
“Victoria is truly the best! Patient with our dog, super flexible with timing, very communicative, and you could tell by her messages that she really gets to know the personality of a dog and understands how to approach different dogs and different ways!”
“We had a family medical issue and was able to book Jacqueline quickly. Our dogs are both rescues and it matters a great deal to us who we bring into their lives. Jacqueline immediately made us, and our dogs, feel comfortable and within 5 minutes of being with them, our eldest was resting in her lap. Jaqueline sent constant photos and updates and we are very grateful to have found her and will for sure book her again. TY again, Jaqueline. That last note was from the pups!”
“I wanted to give the highest recommendation to Volha as a dog-sitter! My 1.5 year old pitbull mix stayed with Volha and her family for 3 nights (3.5 days.) I have to admit, this being my first time using the service, I was a bit nervous. Not because I do not trust Rover, but because my dog in particular is very timid, shy, and can be very introverted - so I did not know how she would take to being left for days with strangers (except for meeting Volha in the park for a few minutes a few days before.) It turns out i had nothing to worry about! She immediately took to the family and stayed on a normal behavioral and sleep schedule and seems to have had a great time. For reference, in the past, even when my dog would stay WITH me but I would take her out of town for a couple of days, she would act a bit strange after being knocked out of her normal routine. (Nothing super out of the ordinary - but she would, for example, go hide in the bathroom for a few hours and generally act very despondent.) My point is - whatever Volha and her family are doing is great! My dog came back happy, healthy, and energetic. In terms Volha's communication style, she sent me several pictures and written updates during the days when I was gone, going out of her way to be in touch and asking the extra questions to make sure that everything was okay. Pending availability, I definitely plan to work with Volha again!”
“Loretta is AMAZING! We left our dog for the first time ever with her & by the time we came back for him to pick him up, he didn’t wanna leave! She sends pics & videos the entire time & it’s just reassurance that your fur baby is doing just fine! It’s never easy to leave our pets but if you ever need to, book Loretta! You will not be disappointed. She is our official dog sitter!”
“Janice cared for my two "Bagels" as if they were part of her family. My two goofballs are not your average pups—so extra care was needed and generously given during their 11-day stay. They came back clean, well-exercised, and happy, and I know they are looking forward to another visit with Janice at the end of October!”
“Jennifer was absolutely fantastic! Great communication throughout, sent pictures and a little summary every day. Definitely the most comfortable I’ve ever felt leaving our dog with someone for a longer period of time.”
“Eleanor cared for our Elf, a rescued Yorkie, for two weeks. She sent us pics, consulted us when picky Elf dithered about her meals, took her on many walks and essentially treated Elf as her own fur baby! Eleanor did a super job. I would highly recommend her.”
“Simon watched our little pup while we went away for the weekend. The two of them became fast buddies and we were grateful to know our little guy was with someone he was so comfortable with.”
“Rebecca is so wonderful with my Boston Terrier Elvis. He is nearly 14 and almost blind so I am always a little nervous to leave him in a new place, but it was obvious that he was well cared for with Rebecca. She made both of us feel at ease and it is so nice to know that Elvis has a home away from home. It make traveling and time away so much easier on both of us, thank you Rebecca!”
“Jeff was extremely responsive! This was our first time leaving our dog with a home sitter. It was a fantastic experience for both us (owners) & our dog seemed happy when leaving him for the weekend. Jeff provided a Meet & Greet to get acquainted with his dog. He also sent us updates & several pics of our dog which gave us peace of mind that all was good. We will certainly utilize Jeff’s service again!”
“Deanne was great! My husband and I both felt like we were in good hands. We loved the photo updates that she sent — we could see that our dog was happy and well cared for. Will use her services again!”
“If you like your dog tired when you pick him up, just leave him at Magnolia’s for a few days. He didn’t want to leave! Wonderful experience. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
