“Absolutely recommend! They were reliable, caring, and clearly love dogs. We’ll definitely be booking them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive care.”
“I can not praise Vanessa enough. I had a quick out of town trip and my usual sitter cancelled the day before i was scheduled to leave. I found Vanessa, and she was wonderful. Not only accommodating and calming - she answered all my questions with grace, understanding it was stressful. ( i may well be overbearing when it comes to my puppy) She sent me photos, and kept me up to date with Aubreys progress. Vanessa is a 5 star sitter, and i will now call her first when i need to have someone look after Aubrey. Thank you Vanessa!”
“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”
“Consider them my dog’s second family. I leave her with them full knowing she will be loved and spoiled. Their daily pictures show how she thrives in their environment. Thanks again beagle fam!”
“Krystal took wonderful care of our dog, Joules, while we were away for two weeks. We were initially nervous about leaving our older dog for that long, but Krystal made the experience completely stress-free. She kept us updated regularly, gave Joules plenty of attention and long walks, and clearly cared about his well-being. We came home to a happy dog and couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend Krystal!”
“Adriana to the rescue! We received a last minute cancellation from a dog sitter right before vacation and were in desperate need. Adriana was super responsive and put us at ease in such a short time. She was so good with our energetic pup and kept us updated with the cutest pictures! I personally feel our dog Chloe felt she was on vacation during her stay with Adriana. Thank you again!!”
“Steven was absolutely amazing with Cookie! Photos were shared daily and Steven was very responsive! I could see that Cookie really enjoyed herself there I will be using his services again in the near future!”
“Sam and her family were so loving and amazing with my 3 year old Bichon, Barkley! I travel for work often and was relieved to know she was happy and loved while I was away. Sam went adorable pictures everyday of my Stay which made me happy and at ease. I definitely Plan on using Sam again. Thanks so much! Xoxo”
“Kristin was an amazing sitter. I can tell Sushi had so much fun and was cared for because he didn’t look disheveled coming home. Thank you, Kristin!”
“I’ve been boarding with Juliana several times now and she is just a dream! So attentive, trustworthy, and caring…my dog loves her and actually runs to her house now whenever we drop her off. You won’t regret having Juliana watch over your furry loved ones!”
“This was Timmy’s second stay with Denis and his wife, and once again, everything was absolutely perfect. Timmy stayed with them for 12 nights, and from the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he remembered them and felt comfortable right away. He was calm, relaxed, and not nervous at all, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Denis and his wife truly treat Timmy like family. They showed him so much love, care, and attention throughout his stay, and it honestly felt like he was at his second home. We knew he was in great hands the entire time. We’re so grateful to have found sitters we completely trust, and we will absolutely continue booking with them in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and attentive pet sitters.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Emily made it such a great experience. She took great care of Lolah from April 1–11 and sent photo updates that made me feel at ease while I was away. Lolah was clearly in good hands. I would definitely book with her again—highly recommend!”
“David housed and took care of Elly while I was away for 15 days. He consistently updated me with photos and message about how Elly was doing, walked her regularly, and took her to the park numerous times. If Elly needs a sitter in the future, I hope David is available!”
“Judith's family is a big dog loving family! Not only they gave a happy and comfortable time to my puppy Chopper, but gave me an one day free to take care of my second puppy Ippo in order to make them get along with. Nice place and people to choose!”
“I can’t recommend Jessica enough! She took care of Dino, while I was away in the Hamptons, and honestly, she went above and beyond. From the start, she was incredibly prompt in replying and super accommodating even when I had to make last minute changes to my schedule. Dino is a recent rescue with some anxiety issues, especially in new places, but Jessica treated him like her own baby. She gave him so much love, attention, and comfort that he settled in beautifully. She also kept me updated with regular pictures and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely goes the extra mile the way she did. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pet like their own, Jessica is the one. A truly trustworthy, compassionate, and amazing pet sitter highly, highly recommend her to everyone! 🐾✨”
“I am so thankful Charlie was available for a last minute booking/ boarding for our dog, Bibi. After communicating our needs, we knew Charlie was a great fit. Our dog felt right at home, and Charlie communicated frequently throughout her time there, including sending picture and video updates unprompted. We would love the opportunity to re-book with Charlie in the future.”

About: absolutely love cats and think they are the sweetest, most cuddly creatures! Growing up with my own childhood cats, Muffin and Rayray, taught me everything about feline behavior and care. I have been taking care of cats of every kind since I was 10 years old, and friends, family, and neighbors have always relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their beloved pets. I promise to give your kitties all the love, cuddles, and attention they deserve!
“Laura is fantastic! She has cared for several of my kitties over the past few years. I continue to use her because she is trustworthy & is a true animal lover. She cares for my babies as if they are her own :) 100% recommend again & again.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and cat owner with experience caring for cats with different personalities, including shy and anxious cats. I currently have an orange tabby named Mishti Doi, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. As a social worker, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and used to providing compassionate care and clear communication. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, feeding, litter box cleaning, medication administration if needed, and lots of love and attention for your cat 🐾
“Rosandy and Edward are excellent caretakers of Blaze and Starlette. I exclusively use the couple for my bookings. Being away from home for work a couple of days at a time is no longer stressful as a pet parent. I am truly thankful for Rosandy and Edward, God has blessed me by having them in my life.”
“Christy was amazing with checking in on our cat Boo. My husband and I went on vacation for a week and we couldn’t take Boo with us. Usually when we go away we take him but this trip we couldn’t. Boo has to take a few different meds to take twice a day. Christy stepped up and took such great care of him. She sent us numerous photos and videos. She also checked in everyday, twice a day when she’d go over and take care of him. She spent time with Boo and played with him as well. Christy put us at such ease as far as how Boo is doing with us away. If we go away again and can’t take Boo we will definitely be reaching out to Christy again.”
“Couldn’t be happier with Catalina! She went above and beyond in putting me at ease while I was away. She kept me updated on all the latest happenings and even went so far as to make a few extra trips- one to fix my mistake, and one just because! Though my little one didn’t come out to greet her, he seemed happier than he has in a long time upon my return, which means he was taken very good care of. I couldn’t be happier, and would recommend Catalina to anyone who needs their fur baby watched after by a kind, courteous, loving sitter.”
About: I’m an animal lover and experienced cat caretaker with over 10 years of hands-on experience raising two wonderful cats. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I communicate clearly, stay organized, and treat every home and pet with the same care I give my own.
“Dorothy was wonderful—pleasant, punctual (even early!), and took great care of Mochi. Communication was smooth and easy throughout. Will definitely book again.”
“Thoselin is a great cat sitter! She visited Smokey daily and made sure he was well taken care of and had fun at playtime. She was communicative and sent multiple pictures during each visit. I would ask her to look after Smokey again.”
About: Hi!! I’ve taken care of neighbors and family pets all my life from puppies to senior dogs, cats and even hamsters. My own dog is an energetic dog that runs like the wind and rarely barks. I love taking photos of furry friends so you will be getting photos of them! It is better to be safe and sorry I make sure to always double check their environment and what they might be needing at the moment. At the moment i work for myself so i have most days and weekends available! I am available early mornings depending on your schedule I can accommodate and late afternoons as well. I have my own dog son who has his own backyard and toys to share with other furry pets. He loves walks and park so if I need to walk him I do it with the other dogs as well so they’re all interactive.
“I am very happy with Irene. She was professional, caring, and made sure my pets felt comfortable and loved. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend.”
“Regina was such a thoughtful, caring, and attentive sitter for our two cats. She sent pictures and video clips every day, and let us video call them when she could sense they missed us. She was considerate and kind, and I loved that she created a genuine connection with our babies, so much so that she will miss them. I highly recommend working with Regina. Thank you for making our week-long vacation worry-free!”
“I've used Mandel twice now. I highly recommend him! He's a gentleman. I know that's a bit unusual to say, but that really sticks out to me. Also, he is always on time and is great with my elderly cat. I will always use him from now on!”

“Ms. Anamika was phenomenal with our puppy who suffers with separation anxiety. He got to exercise in her backyard and had so much room to explore and be curious. She provided pictures and videos to put our minds at ease while his dad and I went to work. We definitely recommend and will be using her services again. Peace and blessings, Amanda, Tanner and Ragnar Ganesh.”
About: • I worked at the Howard beach animal clinic as a veterinary assistant where I assisted veterinarians with vaccine administration, blood draws, and wellness checks for both cats and dogs. I also learned how to administer medication to dogs/cats, give cpr to dogs specifically, handle hyperactive, anxious, and/or aggressive dogs/cats, and work with all kinds of breeds ranging from chihuahuas to Great Danes. • Before that, I gained experience working with dogs by volunteering at nyc pet services in Astoria, where I took care of many different kinds of dogs by supervising the area and ensuring all dogs were happy and safe. • My love for animals started with my golden Labrador and poodle at age 5, then at age 12 I got a Maltese whom I’ve grown up with and is now 16 years old. My experience not only includes dogs and cats of different breeds and sizes but also temperament, behavior, and personality. All of this experience has taught me how to read dogs and cats better, know when to approach sensitive dogs, and the best way to interact with said sensitive dogs. I can accept same day request due to my very flexible schedule, because of my flexible schedule I can focus on your pets happiness! I will have plenty of time to take them out on long walks for exercise, play time, and feedings. I love to spend time with dogs and cats, they truly make my day so much better! If it’s too hot out we can have play time indoors with some nice AC and play with some enrichment puzzles! I can assure your best friend will be in good hands and I’ll take care of them as if they were my own. I live in a pet friendly building, I’m on the first floor so your pets can enjoy jumping and running as much as they want! I have a park nearby where we can enjoy long walks and play time. A large living room that they can explore and take comfy naps. I can also make them tasty treats if you’d like! I have a small senior Maltese, she’s 16 years old and enjoys taking many naps but will still love to make new friends. She’s very chill due to her age so you can rest assured that your pups will be safe, but if you’d rather them be separated I have a divider that will ensure that! My priority is that both the owner and pup are comfortable and happy :)
“I am really thankful I found Arianna. My dog warmed up to her very quickly , she gives helpful updates and I am so thankful for how accommodating she is. Sway & I thank you.”
“This is the first time I left my dog with a sitter and I’m glad it was with Vivian and Cristian! I really appreciate the constant updates during the day and all the cute pictures sent. Vivian returned Rocky to me looking so relaxed and content! Definitely recommend ◡̈”
About: My name is Naseeb. Growing up I had lots of pets in my life; kittens, cats, dogs and even birds, fishes. Currently I have no pets but lots of free time to take care of your pet and give them all of my attention to. I also do not mind cooking meals at home. Any time and day of the week just give me a heads up! I have long driveway, backyard, and live in a 2 floor home and can also walk the dog in my safe neighborhood. Leave the pet at my home and pick up whenever you feel ready. I will feed them, play and walk the pet and make sure the pet is content.
“Laura is seriously the best sitter ever. I’m so grateful I found someone I trust this much with my dog. He absolutely loves her and gets so excited every time he sees her. She always keeps me updated with pictures and messages, which gives me so much peace of mind. She’s genuinely one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met and you can truly see how much love and passion she has for animals. She treats every dog like her own and goes above and beyond every time. My dog always comes home so happy. I honestly couldn’t recommend her more, she’s an amazing person inside and out.”
“Iwona was fantastic and updated me frequently. She was very kind to my dog, who has a lot of anxiety but Iwona handled it with a lot of grace and seemed like my dog didn't want to come back from having such a good time Would recommend!”
“Steven was perfect with our dog, sent amazing pictures and video, and kept us updated on how he was doing. Steven’s dogs are adorable and were the perfect playmates. We will absolutely be booking again very soon. Thank you!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Stephanie as our dog sitter! She took care of my dog overnight and did an amazing job. I received daily updates and adorable photos, which made me feel so at ease. She was incredibly pleasant, accommodating, and truly seemed to care about my pet's well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: For about two years, I've been looking after my friend's dog. Growing up, I've always had cats, and my love for animals runs deep. I'm committed to ensuring their happiness and well-being, going above and beyond to care for them. As a flight attendant, my schedule varies every week. However, you can always reach me, and I typically have entire days or even two to three consecutive days available. I'll ensure their happiness by taking them for walks, feeding them nutritious meals, and providing attentive care, including cleaning up after them, engaging in playtime, brushing their teeth, and meeting all their needs to keep them healthy and content.
“Judith is amazing she is very pleasant and friendly. My dog was playing and having so much fun while with her. I had to book her last minute and she was available and ready to accommodate my dog again. I would highly recommend her to anyone, she is the best and I’ll be using her services from here on out!!”
““I really appreciate Christina and the care she provided for my dog. She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Our dogs got along well on walks and at the park, but it turned out they weren’t the best match sharing a home, so future boarding won’t be a fit for us. I’d still recommend her if your dogs mesh well.”

About: Hi there! My husband and I are lifelong animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I had my beloved pug for 17 wonderful years, and during his senior years, I cared for him closely — including when he could no longer walk — so I understand the special attention older pets need. My husband also grew up with two dogs and a cat, and together we’ve cared for friends’ pets many times over the years. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or special care for senior pets, we always make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable — just like part of the family. We’d love to give your furry friend the same care and affection we gave our own. ❤️ I work from home most of the time, and my husband also works full-time remotely. We additionally have a live-in part-time sitter for our children. Because of this, someone is almost always home and available for walks throughout the day. We have a fully fenced backyard where pets can safely explore and get fresh air. Inside, our living room is spacious, so they can move around freely and relax. And yes—dogs are welcome on the couch if they’d like to snuggle! Our children are used to having animals and very gentle with them.
“Sara accepted our last minute request to take care of our doggo Frankie. She has been the kindest and cared for our pup as if he’a her own :) She also has two pups at home so Frankie felt more confident being around his kind ahha. I would recommend her to everyone: responsive, reliable, caring— full package! Thank you Sara!”

“After booking with Mandel regularly for a few weeks I can say that he is reliable, responsible, and caring dog walker. With Mandel, you can be confident your pet's in good hands and will have a good time. My German Shepherd mix can be a strong puller on walks, and Mandel handles it without trouble. He also sends nice photo updates! It's great to see my dog happy and active while I'm at work!”

“Catalina is so excellent and took such great care of our Kevin! Our senior frenchie needed to be let out to go potty in the middle of a longer day alone. He usually only goes outside for a few moments to eliminate and rushes to go back inside, but Catalina made sure he had a little midday adventure! So much more than we expected and it was so comforting to know our little guy had a bit of fun! She arrived right on time and sent many pictures and updates! So cute! Thank you, Catalina!!!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 9+ years, caring for my French Bulldog through every stage of her life—from playful puppy to senior years—which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to a dog’s changing needs. I now have a Cavapoo and love going through all the puppy milestones again, including basic training, routines, and socialization. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s personality, whether that means keeping up with an energetic pup or providing gentle, patient care for older dogs. I genuinely treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and am not working a traditional job, which allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pet care. I’m starting with weekend availability so I can provide consistent, reliable care and ensure each pet gets my full attention. As I get established, I’m open to expanding my availability. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and can easily plan my week around their needs When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I always do a quick check to make sure there are no hazards or anything unsafe within reach, and I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I give pets time to warm up to me at their own pace, using a calm and patient approach to build trust. Once they’re comfortable, I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and care based on their energy level and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away
“Ashley is very professional. When we first met her, she took the time to meet our dog Cagney before starting to walk him, gaining his confidence and assessing his needs as well as ours. She is patient, kind and wonderful. She is punctual and communicates regularly with us if any changes need to be made. She is a big help to us since we can't always walk Cagney and he really looks forward to going for his walk with her. Five stars are not enough to describe how we feel about Ashley!”
About: Im reliable, communicative and caring! I try my best to accommodate every owner as a pet owner myself. I have had dogs, cats and even reptiles. I work from 8-4PM and my husband who will be assisting me works from home. Located in Woodhaven Queens I work Monday through Friday from 8-4PM. My husband works from home and helps me if I ever need anything. I’m available up to 3 times per day and can adjust based on preference. For in home visits I can check in every 6-8 hours for any owners traveling. I include pictures, videos , and updates to share all the details of our visit. I’m very easy to communicate with and am willing to adjust to your needs and expectations!
“Ocho loves Thoselin! She’s been very conscientious and reliable, and I trust her in my home and with my baby. Ocho can be anxious and hard to get outside, but she’s been flexible and, judging by the photos she sends, he has a great time with her!”
“It’s always such a pleasure to see and read what my little fur baby was up to while I was at work. Tedy is excellent at keeping me informed and keeping my Phoebe happy.”
“I can’t reccomend Carly enough. I know that our pup is in good hands with her whenever we’re not home. She’s punctual, accommodating and most of all has excellent experience caring for and loving all dogs. If you leave your little one with Carly, they’re in great hands!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my reliability, attention to detail, and hands-on experience working with animals. I’ve volunteered at Sean Casey Animal Rescue, where I helped care for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and backgrounds. That experience helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to provide calm, patient, and compassionate care. In addition, I often take care of friends’ dogs when they travel or are away, so I’m used to maintaining routines like feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are gone. I’m especially attentive with young pets who need structure and positive reinforcement, and I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need slower walks, extra attention, or medication reminders. I prioritize safety, consistency, and keeping pets relaxed in their environment. I also make sure pet parents stay informed by sending regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel secure and cared for, and every owner feel confident their companion is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible freelance schedule and currently no full-time job. This allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the day. I’m able to plan my work around walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime, making sure each pet gets reliable care and attention. Because of this flexibility, I’m also available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits when needed. My routine allows me to be dependable, responsive to pet parents, and fully focused on providing safe, attentive care for every pet. I provide attentive, reliable care that keeps pets comfortable and safe in their usual environment. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, and making sure they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I also monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they are happy and healthy while you’re away. For drop-ins or walks, I make sure pets get the physical activity and attention they need, along with bathroom breaks and any specific care instructions you provide. I respect your home, keep things clean, and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving owners peace of mind.

“Amazing as always. My dog had a great time with her, and immediately chugged water when he got home from the walk. He hates drinking water! Glad he got some exercise, or at least as much as his little Chihuahua legs will allow him.”
“If you haven’t booked Irene yet I’d suggest you do so. She’s amazing and it’s clear she absolutely loves animals! She was so awesome with Stoney. Stoney is super energetic and tends to pull on walks. Thanks for your patience! I would absolutely book with her again!!”

“Vanessa was great with Domino! He was comfortable the moment we got there for our meet and greet. She has two dogs of her own and watched a couple others during his stay, which he thoroughly enjoyed. She definitely spoiled him too. I'm surprised he even came home. Vanessa was also very good at sending pictures and videos. I would definitely use her again for future needs.”
“Huge shot out to Keri for taking of Choco. She’s such an amazing communicator and I felt extremely comfortable and happy knowing choco was in good hands while I was away. I 100% recommend booking her, and I would definitely book her again in the future”
“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!!”
“Sarah gave Dante an outstanding stay caring for him while we were away visiting family do 3 days. She sent plenty of photos and kept us updated several times a day on how he was doing. She took Dante on 2-3 walks a day and gave him plenty of opportunities to make new furry friends at Central Park. Highly recommend Sarah and hope we can work together again!”
“We just left our dog Freddie with Steven and his family for the holidays and will definitely be sending Freddie there again soon. I got lots of updates and pics and Freddie was all good while there and now that he’s home. Really appreciate Steven for taking wonderful care of our pup!”
“We are first time dog parents and we had an important event to attend to outside of the country with no way to bring our puppy. We did our research on a few dog sitters and Leandra checked off alot on our list - being first time dog parents with a bunch of worry and guilt in our hearts, we wanted someone experienced to leave our little baby with. Leandra was very communicative with the updates and eased our soul while we were away - definitely loved the way she was with us and of course how she was with our puppy. Definitely recommend and definitely would rebook in the future. Leandra, thank you so much! You were amazing! :)”
“It was such a pleasure to have Shirley watch our dog. He is a senior dog and requires additional attention. Shirley was amazing and keeping us up to date on how he was doing and he honestly was on vacation himself. He had so much fun!”

“I’m so lucky to have found Ruth-Ann and Brandon. I had to take a last minute trip and was worried about finding suitable accommodations for Bleu. These two were amazing and accommodating. I got lots of pics and videos Bleu during my time away. She looked happy and comfortable and that’s all I could’ve hoped for.”
“Leah has kept both our dogs for a few days at a time. She never cease to amaze me with her care, concern, and picture updates. She has now managed to get my 4 month teacup Shorky to go on her wee wee pads. Along with getting her to run up & hop down the stairs. #bestdogsitter 😊🐶”
“Alexandra was amazing. She was super responsive, easy to arrange pick up and drop off, and sent us lots of photos! When I pick my dog up from a sitter, it’s pretty easy to tell whether she had a good experience or not, and after picking her up she was relaxed and happy, it was clear that she was really well cared for. We will absolutely use Alexandra again!”
“Lal is an amazing sitter! She is always so accommodating and makes sure my dog Margot is well taken care of. She sends plenty of updates, which gives me great peace of mind while I’m away. She’s incredibly responsive, responsible, and clearly cares for the pets she watches. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
