“Sherlock's enjoyed his stay! Glad he got along well with Oakley and Archer right off the bat. Kerri was so kind and was awesome with providing with pictures and updates every day.”
“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”
“Bridgette had such a nice stay with Jennifer! We received regular photos and updates on how she was doing—it looked like she had a great time and was well cared for; she immediately crashed out for a long nap when she got home after all her fun with another dog! We wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay again; strong recommend!”
“John was great with Tessa - he was very easy going about scheduling a meet and greet ahead of our scheduled time away and then accomodating all that our needy GSD puppy required while she was staying with him. He sent daily photos/videos and updates which helped reassure us that she was being well cared for and having a great time. I would highly recommend him.”
About: I have 2.5 years of experience working as a veterinarian assistant for a family-owned and operated animal hospital. Aspects of my job include restraining, handling, medicating, feeding, grooming, bathing, and caring for any pets who may board with us at the hospital. I have comfortably handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, needs, and temperaments, and I am confident in my ability to care for dogs of all life stages. My schedule is extremely flexible and I am never away from home for more than four hours any day of the week, which means plenty of time for potty breaks, playtime, and feedings. I have a fully enclosed, insulated, temperature controlled, spacious gazebo on my property surrounded by a pet-proof fenced-in playpen. The inside is divided into four sections, so I can board up to four dogs no bigger than 40lbs at one time, and each pet will have his or her own space indoors for eating and sleeping. Outside, the pets will be able to interact and play, and they will always be supervised.
About: I was raised with dogs from the time I was born, and our home was always full of animals — be it bunnies, turtles, hamsters or parrots! I’m now a proud pet mom to two cats, Tortellini and Simone, and one pup, Frankie. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive to care for your pets while you’re away. My pup, Frankie, is always happy to make new furry friends, and I love making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, medication reminders, or just extra love and companionship, I’ll treat them like part of my own family. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I’m a researcher who works from home, so my schedule is flexible throughout the week. I’m available for weekday care, weekends, drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. Since I spend a lot of time at home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m very respectful of each home and each pet’s routine, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, walks, litter box care, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I’m also comfortable managing different household setups, including keeping pets separated when needed, handling multi-pet homes, monitoring doors/gates carefully, and making sure each pet feels safe, calm, and cared for.
“Vanessa was absolutely AMAZING! She provided daily updates, photos and bonus videos! Lola was taken care of and loved just as much as she is at home. We are using Vanessa for our other family trip at the end of this month and I can feel at ease knowing that she will be a responsive and reliable sitter!”
“Great experience with Kristen! My pup really liked her and her home. My dog is often anxious but she was very relaxed and happy when I came to pick her up after the stay! I really liked Kristen too—very nice person. Highly recommend!!”
“This is our third time using Gabby! Our dog Chance is a shy and nervous dog but he warms up to gabby and being with her so quickly! She sends us daily pictures and he always looks so happy with her! We will continue to use Gabby’s services whenever we go away. Thank you again!”
“Donna was amazing with my rescued, mixed-breed dog, Max. Max came from an abusive situation and is slow to warm up to people. Donna had him trusting her and allowing her to pet him during our initial meet and greet. I knew then and there that she was the right fit for him. I cannot say enough good things about her. Max thoroughly enjoyed his stay; especially hanging out in his favorite spot right in front of the window and playing with his new dog friends.”
About: Dogs have surrounded me since childhood, and many of them were rescues, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and needs. Caring for dogs has always been a passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your beloved furry family member will be safe, loved, and exceptionally well cared for, so you can travel or enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved four-legged family member is safe, happy, loved, and receiving the same level of care I would give my own pets. I live and work from my private home. Your pup will find I have plenty of time and room to take care of them. Your VIP dog will receive loving care and boarding. Rest assuredly when you’re in need of doggie care! I have a home with a private fenced in yard and have two friendly pups of my own and a large separate area for your pets if required. Since I work from home they will not be alone, which is very nice to know.
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Jennifer. He was well cared for and happy during his time at her house. I highly recommend Jennifer for any boarding and will be using her services again.”
“Kathy was an amazing pet sitter. My dog stayed for three nights and had the best time playing with her sweet dog Ollie. Kathy was incredibly attentive and kind. My dog had hurt her leg prior to going over there and she even took the time to gently massage her leg ( after checking with me) It really meant a lot knowing my dog was so cared for uncomfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kathy again and highly recommend her!”
“Samantha has taken such great care of our fur babies. She is caring and loves them like they were her own pets. I can always count on her to give them the attention they need. They are both senior dogs and need special attention and care. I would not hesitate to use her when we need her services. I would highly recommend her any time.”
“We love Cynthia! She is kind and gentle! You can see that she has a love for animals. We were very comfortable with her and we felt safe to leave Paris with her. We will definitely Use Cynthia again!”
“Jinay & her husband, are wonderful! Very genuine, honest, and caring. Positive vibes all the time. Also very knowledgeable concerning dog care and behavior. I recommend them to all who have loving dogs.”

“Jordan was very professional and took very good care of our timid, difficult cat. We felt very comfortable leaving her in Jordan’s care. Jordan went above our expectations.”
“Ava was incredible!! She was very punctual, was able to feed our boys and play with them for a while too - I would highly recommend her to others and we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Emma and Trent did a great job caring for my two cats. They were happy when I returned and they were able to successfully get Delilah to take her meds every morning. I would use them again!”
“Paige took wonderful care of our cat, Charlie, while we were away for a few days. She was very communicative, sending photos and updates, and we came home to a happy, calm cat. We’d definitely recommend Paige and would gladly hire her again!”
“Kimberly did an amazing job with our cat. In the past he has been shy around new people but he seemed to take to Kimberly immediately, the pictures shared made it look like he was treating her the same why he interacts with us, curling up next to her and requesting to be petted. We appreciated the constant communication on how he was doing giving us peace of mind and letting us enjoy our trip rather than spend it worrying about the cat.”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated on our kitties, was timely, and very knowledgeable! We felt completely at ease knowing our 2 cats were being taken care of so well! 10/10 recommend!”
“Asher took great care of my babies! He paid attention to every detail in my instructions (and there's a lot because my babies have allergies and special diets) I would book with him again and so should you :)”
“Sam is amazing and highly recommend her to take care of your pets! She took care of our cat while we were away and we couldn’t be more grateful. She was super nice, professional and made us feel totally comfortable that our cat was well taken care of while we were away. Thanks Sam!”
“Tricia was wonderful with our 2 cats. We were away for a weekend for our daughter’s wedding so we needed someone that would care for them like we would. Tricia did that & more. It was wonderful to not have to worry about our fur babies while we were celebrating our human baby. Thank you Tricia!”
“Fantastic! Communicative and great with my anxious baby cat. This is my second time hiring her to care for my kitty and I can tell that my baby fluff had a good time while I was gone!”
“Kelly was great! She was so patient with my shy cat and even sat with her while she ate. I had such peace of mind while she took care of my furbabies. I will definitely rebook her again 😻😻”
“Gianna has sitted for my babies multiple times. I trust her completely. She’s gone out of her way to help me with the dogs and things at my home while I was away. So glad I found her!”

“My puppy recognized Donna's place when we pulled up and was super excited to get in there. She had a great time and looks to have enjoyed her stay. Thank you so much Donna for taking great care of Tinkerbell.”
“From the moment we dropped Nessa off until the time we picked her up, we were pleasantly surprised by how completely at home she felt with Marla. Normally, Nessa is very apprehensive when meeting new people, new animals, or even visiting a new place. But from the moment Marla opened the door, our normally shy and hesitant little girl ran right into the house to greet Marla and all of her pets. To say my husband and I were shocked would be an understatement! Watching Nessa happily run off to play filled this mom and dad with so much joy. While we were attending our niece’s wedding, we kept checking our phones, fully expecting a call or text saying Nessa was crying or looking for us. That message never came—because she was apparently having the time of her life! When we returned to pick her up, Nessa was excited to show us all of her new friends. It was obvious she had been well cared for and truly enjoyed her stay. We could tell that Marla treated Nessa as if she were one of her own, and there is no greater compliment we could give. We only wish Marla lived in Connecticut instead of New York. Finding someone who genuinely loves and cares for your pet as though they were part of their own family is incredibly rare, and we would trust her with Nessa again in a heartbeat.”
“Bo spent the day with John for no other reason than to have a fun and fabulous day ….which he had !!!! So even if you don’t need a “sitter” because you are going to be away …let your doggie have a special afternoon with John and Laverne !!”
About: I've always had a special connection with dogs. Ever since primary school, I volunteered to walk all my neighbors' dogs and would stay to play with them for hours—tug-of-war and frisbee were our favorites. I've walked dogs of all sizes, sometimes up to three at a time. Getting my own puppy was the best thing in the world for me, and I naturally have endless patience for animals. Throughout college, I walked and sat for my piano professor's dog for years—around the neighborhood, and I also drove him to dog parks and beaches. On top of that, I've volunteered at an animal shelter, cleaning dog and cat rooms and socializing with the animals. I currently can't have a dog of my own because I fly in and out for work. That's why I'm doing this part-time — it's never an assembly line for me. Each dog gets my full, individual attention, and I truly make friends with every one of them. I'm a sound designer and composer working on contract-based stage productions, which gives me a flexible schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — I walk dogs at least three times a day, feed them as many times as requested, and make sure they get plenty of playtime outside of my work hours. Since I'm not working a rigid 9-to-5, I can easily adjust my day around each dog's needs, whether that means extra cuddles, a longer walk, or a spontaneous trip to the dog park. Plus, because I fly in and out for work and can't have my own dog right now, caring for other people's dogs is something I genuinely look forward to and prioritize every single day. I live in a first-floor condo apartment in a neighborhood with lots of green areas — perfect for dogs who love quick potty breaks and longer sniffing walks. I let dogs free roam throughout my home and they're absolutely allowed on furniture. I treat every dog as if they were my own, which means lots of freedom, comfort, and attention. Since I do this part-time, I never have more than two unfamiliar dogs at once, so each dog gets a calm, focused environment. I'm extremely respectful of their space and routines — I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions to the letter, and I always leave things cleaner than I found them.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently own four dogs: two adult Belgian Malinois, a German Shepherd puppy, and a senior Shih Tzu mix. I have crate trained and potty trained multiple puppies and am familiar with the time, patience, and consistency required for successful training. Through caring for both high-energy working breeds and senior dogs, I have experience managing different exercise needs, routines, temperaments, and levels of care. I am committed to providing a safe, structured, and positive environment for every dog in my care. I am home most of the time and provide full-time care for the dogs in my home. Because I am available throughout the day, dogs receive regular supervision. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely go outside for potty breaks and exercise. I am comfortable reinforcing crate training when needed and believe crates are a valuable tool for safety and routine. My own dogs are crate trained and are crated when they cannot be directly supervised to ensure their safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. I provide a structured, safe, and supervised environment while making sure each dog receives plenty of attention, care, and opportunities to play and relax.

“Theresa was a great dog sitter very attentive and caring. She sent updates, which I really appreciated, and my pup was clearly happy and well taken care of.She didn’t even want to leave when I picked her up! I would definitely use her again.”
“Alana and family were great hosts for our little Xena. They treated her like family and took care of her without any issue. They have an adorable doggy area, went on walks and cuddled a bunch! Xena was very happy :) thank you and can’t wait for our next stay!”
“Great communication, clean and safe environment, and most importantly, Cody had a good time 🙂. Thank you so much for taking such a good care of my furbaby.”

About: What sets me apart is my professional experience as a dog trainer specializing in behavior modification and working with challenging dogs, including reactive, fearful, and aggressive cases. I understand canine body language, behavior, and communication, allowing me to safely manage situations that many sitters may not be comfortable handling. I provide a structured, calm environment with clear boundaries, enrichment, and individualized care tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether caring for puppies, adult dogs, or seniors, my focus is on building confidence, reinforcing good behavior, and ensuring every dog feels safe, secure, and understood while in my care. Pet care is my full-time career. As a professional dog trainer and pet sitter, caring for dogs is a daily part of my routine. I work closely with both pets and their owners to provide training, exercise, structure, and companionship. My goal is to help create happier, well-balanced dogs while making life easier and more enjoyable for their families. I prioritize safety, structure, and trust in every interaction. I follow each pet’s routine, provide appropriate exercise and enrichment, maintain a secure environment, and communicate regularly with owners. As a professional dog trainer and sitter, I focus on creating a positive experience that keeps pets happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs (and other animals!) for many years. Family, friends, and co-workers have relied on me to watch and care for their pets whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, even taking them to the vet. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages, from senior bull mastiffs to pugs under a year old. There is no dog too big or too small because they’re all perfect to me. I’ve also found lost dogs and helped them return to their owners! I have experience caring for anxious dogs, blind dogs, deaf dogs, dogs with mobility issues, and dogs that require medication. Other animals I’ve taken care of include: cats, parrots, guinea pigs, fish, rabbits, and hamsters. Pets are so precious, they’re such an important source of joy in their family’s lives so it’s such a privilege to be trusted with their care!! :) Pet sitting is currently my full time job, so I have lots of time to give your animals the special care and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs to run around in. I also have a car so I’m able to take dogs to the dog park or dog beaches nearby (if that’s something they would enjoy). At a client’s house I still follow any guidance/schedule given to me. In between I typically take the dog’s lead. I’m at their house so it’s important to me that I respect their space (and the clients above all)! I like to take their cues to make sure that their sense of routine isn’t disrupted.
“We had such an amazing experience with Veronique! She took excellent care of our golden retriever Kennedy. We were provided frequent updates with photos and video and the communication was so easy. Veronique was very quick in getting back to us which was great. Kennedy had such a fun time and we would love to have Kennedy return! Highly recommend!”
“My Bruno ( boxer 15 months old) had a great time playing with his friends at day care . Laurie and Cliff are wonderful and sends pictures of all the pups playing during the day ! Highly recommend both for daycare and boarding !”

About: I’ve always possessed a deep love for animals and have grown up around pets my entire life. I have several years of hands-on experience working at a grooming salon, where I assisted with bathing, feeding, and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters, which helped me better understand dog behavior, body language, and each pet’s unique emotional needs. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I would be honored to care for your furry family member like they’re my own! 🐾 I recently graduated and am taking a gap year, pursuing additional courses as an aspiring physician assistant and working part-time in healthcare. My schedule is very flexible throughout the week, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets. I’m generally available most weekdays and weekends, except Thursdays. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to body language, feeding schedules, medications if needed, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Katherine starts with the heart and really cares for my dogs! Plus we just met her and she feels like family already!! She’s trustworthy, caring, sweet, mindful and we are truly happy we found her. Thank you for your kindness and appreciate you so much!”
“Emma has been brilliant with communication, flexibility with times and days for walking my dog, she has been a dream dog walker from start to finish. I would highly recommend her services as she really did give my dog the best afternoon out and the photos she took looked like he had a brilliant time! Thank you Emma.”
“Pluto and myself had a great experience with Magdalena. She picked up my pup and took him for a walk with her dog Frankie. I was a bit anxious as Pluto is sometimes afraid of dogs larger than him but Frankie is such a lovely pup — they got along very well. I also saw them running around and playing in Magdalena’s backyard when I picked up Pluto. Overall — great experience and will be using Magdalena’s services in the future.”
“Alicia is awesome and a clear animal lover! She did great communicating with me, updating me and taking great care of my pack (of four) dogs. You can feel confident and trust that she will take good care of your fur babies!”

“Ava helped me walk my pup while I was sick. She was very kind and attentive. She took photos of their walk and let me know important details! I will definitely be contacting Ava again for help with dog walking some time:)”
“Claudia was amazing with our anxious pup! She was incredibly patient and took the time to make him feel comfortable and safe. She played with him, gave him lots of attention, and sent us great pics to put our minds at ease. Would highly recommend Claudia and would absolutely book her again!”
“Thank you for another great week! We so appreciate the thoughtful gift as well. Have a great weekend and we will be in touch as soon as we figure out our schedules. :)”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I lived with two tuxedo cats who completely stole my heart. As I got older, I took on many of their daily care responsibilities, including feeding them, cleaning their litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they felt loved and comfortable. Today, my wife and I are proud pet parents to two black cats. In addition to caring for cats, I have experience watching a toy poodle puppy under one year old. My responsibilities have included taking her outside for regular bathroom breaks, supervising walks, engaging her in play and exercise, teaching basic tricks and commands, reinforcing good behavior, and helping her work through separation anxiety. Caring for a young puppy taught me the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, patience, and attentiveness to a pet's individual needs. Whether caring for cats or dogs, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I strive to give each pet the same level of attention and affection that I would want for my own. i work part time in the mornings and am available most days after 1pm. I am a doctoral student at Stony Brook University, so I am flexible to watch your pup or kitty any time in the afternoons/evenings. If needed, I can do an early morning stop by at 6:30AM prior to heading to work. in my clients home, I will be respectful of property, taking off shoes before entering the house, cleaning up any messes that the animal/myself may create, ensuring the animal has food, water, litter box, toys, etc. accessible, and to lock up the house, windows, and any gates prior to leaving the home. I will always accommodate the clients requests. In my home, I have multiple floors to separate my animals from the animal(s) coming into my home. I also have a fully fenced in, large backyard for a dog to run around in. We have a home security system as well to ensure safety.
About: I have had dogs always growing up and will always love interacting and playing with pups! Whether that’s walks or help with boarding, I can do anything! I am currently part-time with my job, so my pet care is a part-time side job as well! I can work around my work schedule for your needs! I have a fenced in yard for playtime with 2 other friendly pups. I have gates inside my house as well so they can’t get into anything they shouldn’t!
About: All my life I have taken care of animals big and small. Special care or simple care they will be loved and safe with me. I work a hybrid job, from home Monday and Friday office tues-Thurs. all fur babies baby will love the attention and affection they will get. In my home they will have a safe room to sleep or stay in if they want quiet or they can mingle around the house. In your home I would follow your instructions as to where they are allowed to be. At my home our yard is only fenced on 3 sides while it is a large space they would be on a lead at all times.
About: I’m a total animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats—and I’ve got a full house myself with 4 pups and 4 kitties, so I truly get how much love (and personality!) our furry friends bring to our lives. I’m super flexible with scheduling and can check in on your pet as often as every 2 hours—or even more if needed! I’m also totally comfortable giving medications and handling any special needs your pet might have. I love keeping pet parents in the loop, so whether you prefer texts, photos, videos, or even a quick phone or video call, I’m happy to provide regular updates to give you peace of mind. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and totally loved while you’re away!

“Sherlock's enjoyed his stay! Glad he got along well with Oakley and Archer right off the bat. Kerri was so kind and was awesome with providing with pictures and updates every day.”
“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”
“Bridgette had such a nice stay with Jennifer! We received regular photos and updates on how she was doing—it looked like she had a great time and was well cared for; she immediately crashed out for a long nap when she got home after all her fun with another dog! We wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay again; strong recommend!”
“John was great with Tessa - he was very easy going about scheduling a meet and greet ahead of our scheduled time away and then accomodating all that our needy GSD puppy required while she was staying with him. He sent daily photos/videos and updates which helped reassure us that she was being well cared for and having a great time. I would highly recommend him.”
About: I was raised with dogs from the time I was born, and our home was always full of animals — be it bunnies, turtles, hamsters or parrots! I’m now a proud pet mom to two cats, Tortellini and Simone, and one pup, Frankie. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive to care for your pets while you’re away. My pup, Frankie, is always happy to make new furry friends, and I love making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, medication reminders, or just extra love and companionship, I’ll treat them like part of my own family. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I’m a researcher who works from home, so my schedule is flexible throughout the week. I’m available for weekday care, weekends, drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. Since I spend a lot of time at home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m very respectful of each home and each pet’s routine, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, walks, litter box care, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I’m also comfortable managing different household setups, including keeping pets separated when needed, handling multi-pet homes, monitoring doors/gates carefully, and making sure each pet feels safe, calm, and cared for.
“Vanessa was absolutely AMAZING! She provided daily updates, photos and bonus videos! Lola was taken care of and loved just as much as she is at home. We are using Vanessa for our other family trip at the end of this month and I can feel at ease knowing that she will be a responsive and reliable sitter!”
“Great experience with Kristen! My pup really liked her and her home. My dog is often anxious but she was very relaxed and happy when I came to pick her up after the stay! I really liked Kristen too—very nice person. Highly recommend!!”
About: Dogs have surrounded me since childhood, and many of them were rescues, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and needs. Caring for dogs has always been a passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your beloved furry family member will be safe, loved, and exceptionally well cared for, so you can travel or enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved four-legged family member is safe, happy, loved, and receiving the same level of care I would give my own pets. I live and work from my private home. Your pup will find I have plenty of time and room to take care of them. Your VIP dog will receive loving care and boarding. Rest assuredly when you’re in need of doggie care! I have a home with a private fenced in yard and have two friendly pups of my own and a large separate area for your pets if required. Since I work from home they will not be alone, which is very nice to know.
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Jennifer. He was well cared for and happy during his time at her house. I highly recommend Jennifer for any boarding and will be using her services again.”
“Kathy was an amazing pet sitter. My dog stayed for three nights and had the best time playing with her sweet dog Ollie. Kathy was incredibly attentive and kind. My dog had hurt her leg prior to going over there and she even took the time to gently massage her leg ( after checking with me) It really meant a lot knowing my dog was so cared for uncomfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kathy again and highly recommend her!”
“Samantha has taken such great care of our fur babies. She is caring and loves them like they were her own pets. I can always count on her to give them the attention they need. They are both senior dogs and need special attention and care. I would not hesitate to use her when we need her services. I would highly recommend her any time.”
“We love Cynthia! She is kind and gentle! You can see that she has a love for animals. We were very comfortable with her and we felt safe to leave Paris with her. We will definitely Use Cynthia again!”
“Jinay & her husband, are wonderful! Very genuine, honest, and caring. Positive vibes all the time. Also very knowledgeable concerning dog care and behavior. I recommend them to all who have loving dogs.”
“It was so nice to knowing my dog was in good hands, surrounded by lots of love, while I was out of the country vacationing. I was worried my Scooby would miss me, meanwhile he had a BLAST playing and eating good, doesn’t look like he gave me a second thought!!! He played with friends 🥹 and I love that I found the best sitter on here. My dog Scooby and I will absolutely be returning clients!!!”
“Diana was amazing with my pup, Louis! He had an absolute blast — especially getting to run around outside and play with the other dogs and kids, which is such a treat for him since he doesn’t get that kind of freedom in Manhattan. I could tell he was well cared for and totally in his element. Communication was great, with tons of photos daily, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such a loving, fun environment. I’d strongly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible sitter — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Trisha was great, she kept us in the loop with pictures and texts the whole evening. It was the first time we left our dog Jax who’s 1-1/2 old boxer with tons of energy. Thank you Trisha and we will definitely leave Jax with again and again.”
