“Shirley is the best! She is responsible, kind, and very communicative. We appreciated all the photos she shared and took comfort knowing that our puppy was in great hands with Shirley. You can tell that she is a true animal lover. Highly recommended!!”
“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!”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“Lu and his family took great care of our dog. This is the first boarding experience for our dog, who gets nervous when she is away from home. Lu was great with updates and lots of pictures. Their own dog and daughter were attentive and made our Beau feel right at home. They were also very generous with whatever Beau needed. I highly recommend Lu and his family and feel good that we found someone to take care of Beau next time we need boarding.”
“Tanu and her family are amazing! I have an older dog and she treated him so very kindly. I received photos and updates as to how his stay was going. I would highly recommend Tanu and without hesitation use her again.”
“Grace and Wu were so kind and took care of our kitten. It was our first experience with leaving our pet but quickly our minds were put at ease. Grace and I were in daily communication. She let me know how our cat was adapting and sent several pictures a day. This really was a great experience and we will definitely use them again. Thank you Grace and Wu!”
“Margarita and Chris were an absolute joy! She sent me many photo and video updates while I was away, and it was clear that Winston was having a wonderful time, lots of cuddles, lots of playtime, and so much care. I really appreciated her thoroughness and communication throughout. She was also incredibly kind and flexible when my travel schedule ran a little late. Winston came home happy, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“My pups run to Ilona and her home when they come to stay! This is rare for my dogs as they are anxious and are homebodies. She has a wonderful environment for dogs and and Goes above and beyond for them!”
“Qin En took good care of my cat Echo while I was out of town. She sent me multiple pictures/videos a day so I can enjoy my vacation while making sure my cat is doing well. She genuinely loves cats and actually any animals! 😂 highly recommend 😊”
“This was the first time being away from our dog and Nicole did a great job at making him and my family feel at ease! She regularly kept me updated with messages and pictures and took very good care of him. Will definitely use her again!”
“Dan was absolutely amazing with our dog Karley. From the moment we left, she kept us consistently updated with messages, photos, and check-ins, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but Dan made it effortless. Her communication was top-notch, and it was clear Karley was not only well cared for, but genuinely comfortable and happy. We had zero worries the entire time, and that says everything. I would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly caring. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Alissa was great with Chutney. We got regular updates with videos. We had some last minute changes with pick up, Alissa was very flexible and we didn’t have to worry. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Thank you so much for looking after Charlie over the holidays. We were so happy he was well looked after. Appreciate all the updates and videos sent and the doggie gift you sent home with him. It was very nice.”
“Lexi had her first sleepover with Julia 😱. It went so well and Lexi was so well taken care of. Julia kept me updated with pictures and comments. I had to change/extend my pickup and Julia accommodated and even offered and provided dinner for Lexi as I had not planned for it. She is very kind and careful with Lexi which I really appreciate.”
“Melissa and family were great with Max. Melissa sent us daily photos and updates about Max. Max spent a total of 6 days and he seemed to do great with them. I felt comfortable leaving Max there and would not hesitate to have Max stay with Melissa again.”
“If you want your pup to feel like they're at a home away from home - book with Tina. She and her family (two young children who will entertain your dog endlessly) will provide a loving environment with lots of play and attention. I boarded my 7 year old pit mix for several days and he felt right at home immediately. Tina was great sharing photos and videos of Lincoln playing in the fenced in back and taking lots of walks (I think he thought twice about coming back home :)). So happy I found her.”

“Though it was Michelle second time of sitting Katie and Maya, she was able to pet Maya who usually does not show up and allow her own family members to pet her. Great Job! I would recommend and use her again.”
“Kristen is simply amazing. She is patient, communicative and detail orientated. I have many cats and some require additional care. Kristen takes notes and makes sure that each and every one of my cats get the attention and care they need. I can’t ask for a better sitter!”

“Judy was awesome! Smokey and Bandit took to her and loved her from the first meeting. She did an amazing job taking care of them daily while we were away. Highly recommended! Thanks again Judy!”
“Lawrence was great, we couldn’t have asked for more! He took good care of our cat, had excellent communication and was very responsible. We enjoyed getting updates and photos while we were away. Thanks again Lawrence!”
“Brigette took amazing care of Boo. She went above and beyond to let me know how he was doing, the status of his food / wellbeing each visit and sent lots of adorable photos. She was quick to respond to my messages & questions, leaving no room for worry while I was away. I felt very at ease knowing Boo was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again when I decide to take another trip. 10/10 experience, thank you Brigette!!!”
About: I’m currently in my second year of veterinary school at TuftsVet. I’ve had extensive animal experience as a result, including 500+ hours in a veterinary clinic. I’ve also worked full-time for a year at a veterinary pharmacy, and part-time as a kennel assistant at a dog and cat daycare where I mostly boarded, walked, and socialized with the dogs. I love animals, and want to give them the best care because that’s what they deserve! I unfortunately am only available until August, but my schedule over the summer is very flexible. The only day I am strictly unavailable are Sundays, but otherwise from 11am-7pm I am free. Check-ins will include checking their food/water, general status, and of course, playtime! Any instructions that the owner leaves will be followed and photos of the pet will be sent to the owner during check-ins.
“Antoinette is fantastic!! Mister Peach (my cat) and I highly recommend her. She is reliable, responsible, trustworthy, and caring... I've hired her several times to take care of Peach while I'm away and will continue to do so. 5 stars!”
About: I grew up with a cat named scooter and loved every second of playing and caring for him. I don’t have any cats of my own now but I do help watch several family members cats when they are away!
About: Hello! My name is Julissa. I have so much love for all pets and animals. Growing up, i’ve always had a dog in the house, and they were always such an important member of our family. It’s been about five years since I’ve had a dog of my own. My last dog’s name was Sasha. We adopted her when she was six and had her until she was about thirteen. She was so smart, loving, and anxious when we first got her so our first few years together were spent establishing trust. Eventually we managed to off-leash train and we worked a lot on her recall so that we could enjoy longer walks and outdoor activities while ensuring that she always felt safe in her environment. At home we set her bed up in the kitchen, where we would pass our time cooking and spending a lot of quality time together. I had so many good years with my Sasha, and since she passed I have genuinely missed spending time with animals on a consistent basis. Since then, most if not all of my friends and family have entrusted me with taking care of their animals when they are busy or traveling, so I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets and their varying needs/personalities. I work freelance as an artist. I am a musician, so I often stay at home practicing or composing. However most of my work is in the film industry, and this work ranges from smaller independent projects to network television. Although I do work on set sometimes, I try to take on as many post-production gigs as possible, so I often find myself sitting behind a desk all day. I have always made it a priority to work in a field that I am passionate about, and my decision to work with Rover has been no different. Caring for animals is not only something I am passionate about, but also a wonderful opportunity to go on walks and spend quality time with pets. I will always be very clear about any changes in my work schedule if those are to arise, but my reliability and dedication never wavers I have a fenced in yard and plenty of spaces in the house for your pet to wander and feel comfortable. I am also very trust worthy, organized, communicative, and extremely eager to work with you!
“Ella was so great with my cat, Ollie! He instantly loved her and they played and cuddled together. He is normally shy with new people, so I credit her for being patient and slow with him. Would definitely recommend her services!”
About: I have owned both cats and big and small dogs and am experienced in training, raising, and taking care of all types of dogs in various states of health and ages. I love all animals! I work part time as I am applying to masters programs right now, so I will have plenty of time for dog walks and animal drop ins! I do not offer boarding or day care at my own house because of the multiple outdoor cats and other animals (like raccoons) in my neighborhood.
“Cynthia was amazing with Moon! She was super affectionate with him and kept me updated while I was away. She also kept his litter box tidy and clean. So grateful to have her help in caring for my baby.”
“Jason is absolutely amazing and continues to exceed my expectations every time! He’s taken care of Cali and Willie 3 or 4 times now, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Jason always keeps me informed with daily updates, so I never have to worry. He truly cares for my pets as if they were his own and goes above and beyond in every way. I’m so grateful for his kindness and dedication, and I’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future.”

Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s schedule to keep them happy and comfortable. Available for meet and greet by Mary Jane Davies park prior to pet boarding. As a personal preference, we don’t do meet & greets in the home and don’t take more than one dog (unless it’s from the same family, 2 max). Big on sending updates and pictures.
About: Hi! I’m Huixian, a reliable and patient dog lover based in Bayside. I regularly spend time around dogs of all sizes and personalities and truly enjoy caring for them.

“Julia was great! We left our puppy Sonny with her one afternoon until the afternoon the next day and she kept sending us updates and pictures of him having fun. This made us feel so good knowing that she was taking the best care of him and that he was happy. We would definitely recommend and use Julia again.”
“Wendy was awesome! She sent pictures throughout the day and even made my dog fresh food when she wouldn’t eat the food we brought. My dog felt very comfortable with her and she was super flexible with our timing. Thanks so much!”
“Once again, Charlie, the pug had an outstanding time with Peachy and Abby! Even though there was a lot of ice and snow , Charlie and Peachy got to frolic around and get nice and tired together. Always appreciate all the videos. Charlie the pug will most certainly be back!!!”
“Wendy and her husband took great care of my dog and sent me updates during the day. Zoe can be shy and sensitive at first with new people, but she warmed up to them so quickly! Their dog Hero is so cute and playful as well. I would recommend her, and Zoe looks forward to her next daycare there!”
“I truly recommend Dan. This is my first time using Rover and naturally wanting the best for my dog, I wanted to make sure she’d be good, and Dan made sure of that. She always checked in with me, provided me updates of Daisy through pictures and videos, and always responds when she can.”
About: What truly sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience as a devoted pet parent — especially with senior dogs and emotionally sensitive pets. I cared for my beloved senior dog Rocki for 14 years, supporting him through every stage of life, including the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness senior dogs need. Today, I share my life with my dog River and also help care for my partner’s 16-year-old senior dog, so I am very comfortable with senior care, slower mobility, routine-based needs, and gentle handling. I’m highly attentive to body language, emotional comfort, and stress signals, which helps me support anxious, sensitive, or aging dogs in a calm and reassuring way. My home provides a safe, structured, and loving environment where dogs can feel secure and relaxed. I’m also patient and consistent with younger dogs, helping reinforce routines, calm behavior, and positive habits through gentle guidance and structure. Every dog in my care is treated like family with safety, emotional awareness, patience, and genuine love. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I structure my days around consistent walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and calm rest periods for my own dog, River, as well as my partner’s senior dog. Because caring for animals is already part of my everyday routine, I’m able to provide dependable, attentive, and structured care for pets staying with me. I prioritize supervision, emotional comfort, and routine so every dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family in a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each dog’s normal routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of rest and comfort. I pay close attention to body language, emotional needs, and stress signals to ensure every dog feels secure and relaxed. My home includes a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, cozy indoor rest areas, and close supervision throughout the day. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s established routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide gentle, attentive care, ensure safety, and send regular updates with photos so pet parents always feel reassured while they’re away.
“Emily was phenomenal with Chloe !! She made me feel so comfortable with leaving her and sent me photos throughout the day. Overall wonderful experience!! Can’t wait to book again”
“Lu and his family took wonderful care of Lani for the day! They shared plenty of photos and updates, took her on walks, and gave her lots of time to explore outdoors. They were very patient and accommodating with her puppy teething needs. We felt completely comfortable leaving Lani with them and would absolutely book again.”
About: Since my earliest memories, dogs have held a special place in my heart. Caring for them is a deep passion of mine, and I understand how challenging it can be to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. I pour my heart into providing exceptional care, treating each dog as if they were my own. My goal is to make your furbaby feel at home and ease any worries you may have. With years of experience and a natural instinct for care, I’m dedicated to ensuring your dog’s happiness and well-being. After leaving my corporate marketing position due to severe burnout, I’m now at a point in my life where I’m exploring what truly makes me happy and finding passion in new projects. I’ve transitioned to remote work, giving me the flexibility to take on side jobs like Rover, where I can connect with amazing dogs. Whether it’s early morning or late afternoon, I’m here to accommodate your needs, understanding that not all trips are planned.**shoot me a message with more questions regarding my availability!** I’m active and can easily fit your dog’s routine into my own, ensuring they get the care and attention they deserve. Although my fiancé and I don’t currently have a dog after the recent passing of our beloved Layla, we hope to welcome another fur baby into our lives around the holidays. Dog sitting is a win-win for me—I get to enjoy the company of wonderful dogs, and you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands! I live in a spacious apartment, in an area surrounded by parks and pups. Rest assured your dog will have free rein to enjoy themselves!
“I have not enough words to express how excellent Llona took care of my puppy for a few hours, so we could go to explore the liberty statue. She informed about Peter, what he was doing, everything they went for a walk, and she also sent me pictures of him playing with her dogs. I truly recommend her if you are looking for somebody responsible, caring, kind, and lovely. I will definitely leave Peter again when we come back to New York!”
About: I’ve grown up with 3 dogs living in the house; looking for some company from some furry friends! I am a super gentle and loving person ◡̈ I am a homebody and would love a furry companion to keep me company throughout the week, will provide snackies and lots of belly rubs! This is a non-smoking house in a quiet neighborhood, your furry friend would get as many walks for as long as needed :) As well as being allowed to go on furniture!
About: I have two doggies of my own and my days revolve around their happiness, walks, doggie park/doggie cafes visit. We travel together everywhere and have experience with other doggies staying at our house. We love to play in the backyard and chase bunnies. I work from home so any chance I get I spend it either in the backyard, on a walk, beach or the doggie park. My schedule revolves a lot around the house and my doggies. I have a fenced yard and can easily crate train your puppy. There’s a lot of local parks right by my house where all the owners know each other. I also live in a very peaceful neighborhood where the doggies can enjoy a walk on their own with me.
“Tina was so awesome to work with! She watched our super high energy 2 year old lab mix (Kenzie) for daycare at her home. She sent lots of pictures and updates and made sure to ask us lots of information about our dog before we dropped her off. I appreciated how much communication she provided and all of the pictures she sent!”
About: Honestly? I’d do this for free — and I have, many times. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors my whole life, and recently completed a month-long live-in cat sit. My background working with kids in sports and with autism has made me patient, attentive, and calm in any situation. Your pet won’t just be watched, they’ll be treated like family. My schedule is about as flexible as it gets. I work part-time just a few hours every few days, and the rest of my time is spent working from home on my business. Your pet won’t be sitting alone waiting for someone to come home. They’ll have a present, engaged, companion, ready for walks, playtime, and everything in between. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety, and comfort always come first my home features are fully fenced backyard, perfect for off leash play and outdoor time without any worry. I’m in a quiet, low traffic neighborhood that’s ideal for relaxed, walks, and outdoor adventures. Inside, my home is calm and welcoming. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I bring the same attentiveness and routine focused approach so your pet stays comfortable in the environment they know best.
“I’m so happy I found Nari and Ryan. They cared for my Chester as if he were their own dog. I felt so comfortable leaving him with their family. He slept like a baby because they gave him good walks. He also was so happy to return the next day, wagging his tail and running to their door for day 2. They are the best!”

“John is the Best! He loves animals and is a really nice person. I trust him with my best companion and buddy Franklin and house sitting for me for a quick stay at my Son's house. He is reliable, great at communicating and letting you know what's up and sends pictures of what he does with your dog on walks and makes you feel relaxed that your pooch is in good hands. I want to re book John, he is really worth it!”
“Michelle is fantastic. Before scheduling an appointment, she arranged a meet and greet to get to know Apollo. From the moment Apollo met Michelle, we knew he was in great hands. His first walk with her went smoothly, with regular updates and photos. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve had the pleasure of being a pet sitter professionally as well as family and friends for over 10 years now. I’ve lived with a lab/pit/shepherd mix for two years. I was also an owner and trainer of a multilingual Havanese. He was trained to understand commands in English, Chinese & Spanish.

Cats always seem to enjoy my presence, seeking massages, playtime or attention. Looking forward to meeting your loved ones and becoming fast friends! My schedule is flexible and I can almost always be available at a moment’s notice depending on the location. I am always happy to be of service in a bind. I’d care for pets in your homes according to your specific needs and guidelines.

About: Patience is my superpower. I've spent years caring for the senior members of my family, so I'm tuned in to comfort, routine, and noticing the little signs that something's off, which makes me a great fit for older dogs or any pup who needs gentle, attentive care. With 7 years of daily experience as a dog owner, I know feeding, exercise, and downtime, and I'll treat your dog like one of my own. I finally have some free time this summer, and am pretty flexible when in comes to scheduling so if anything I will be able to work around your schedule, whatever is easiest and most convenient for you. Building trust and providing loving and caring is something at the core of what makes an interaction beneficial on both sides and is at the core of my ideology when it comes to anybody especially animals.

I’m comfortable crating dogs if needed, and I also offer in-home pet care.
“I can’t say enough great things about Danielle. She has been absolutely amazing with my dog. Super reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. I always get detailed updates and the cutest pictures after every walk, which gives me so much peace of mind. My pup gets so excited every time they show up — that alone tells me everything I need to know!”
About: Greetings, After graduating from college 30 years ago, I decided to become a professional dog walker/animal care specialist. I am currently walking multiple dogs all over the Long island area. My intense love for all dogs is inexplicable. I prefer being in the presence of dogs over humanity. If there is such thing as reincarnation I am coming back as a dog. Funny. Rest assure that the love of your life will be in good hands , to say the least. I am flexible and highly experienced. Additionally, passionate about dog rescue. If I had the means I would open up a giant sanctuary to rescue every stray or abandoned dog. Obviously that is a dream, and realistically I cannot make that happen. However, I can be the perfect companion for your precious dog. Thank you for stopping in and viewing my profile.
About: Hello, My name is Gabby. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I have been pet sitting for almost 2 years and love snuggling, playing, and going on fun adventures with dogs. I also work with children during the day, so I am comfortable, patient, and caring with both kids and pets. I have met so many wonderful people through dog sitting, and I couldn’t be happier doing what I love. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible, and I can’t wait to meet your dogs! I work with kids during the day, but I am available to take care of dogs from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm on weekdays. I can also help for date nights or while you are traveling. On weekends, I am flexible and available around 4:00 pm to late evening. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with my partner, but I am also happy to come to your home to care for your dog. I can take your dog for walks around my neighborhood, which has several nearby parks. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are at my place or yours.
“Annamaria saved us with a last minute walk for our girl when we weren't able to take her ourselves. She was so sweet with our dog and took her on a great walk. We are so grateful we found Annamaria and will 100% be working with her again! :)”
About: My main service is cat boarding! I have everything for every type of cat! I have wall perches and beds for cats who like to climb, I have tons of cat safe places for a shy cat to hide, and I have probably 10 different cat trees and scratch towers, and of course an endless amount of toys! My house is also always 100% dog free! My home is basically a kitty wonderland 🐈⬛ ⭐️ I NEVER board or sit dogs in my own home. My house is 100% dog free 365 days of the year! I know this is very important to some cat parents! ⭐️ I’m currently not available for any dog sitting or drop in services! I mainly specialize in cat care at this current moment! I don’t have dogs in my home, so if you’re looking for a cat sitter without dogs, I’m a good pick! I have cared for dozens of cats between sitting, boarding, and fostering. I have experience with cats with all different temperaments. If your cat prefers to hide for days at a time, or bounces off the walls at 3 am, I’ve seen it all!
“Marc is great! He was very attentive to my instructions about the dogs needs/personalities when they first met. He is reliable and caring and we are relieved to have found him for our pups!”
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and for the past few years I’ve helped out neighbors with dog-sitting and walking. In my hometown, I volunteer at the local animal shelter, where I walk the rescue animals and help keep their spaces clean. I truly love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and cared for :) I’m a student, so my availability can vary, but I usually have free time on certain mornings or afternoons during the week, as well as on weekends. It really just depends on the day, and I’m happy to work with your schedule! I know how important trust is when it comes to caring for your pets. I’ve done basic training with my own dogs, and I bring that same patience and care when looking after others

“Shirley is the best! She is responsible, kind, and very communicative. We appreciated all the photos she shared and took comfort knowing that our puppy was in great hands with Shirley. You can tell that she is a true animal lover. Highly recommended!!”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“Lu and his family took great care of our dog. This is the first boarding experience for our dog, who gets nervous when she is away from home. Lu was great with updates and lots of pictures. Their own dog and daughter were attentive and made our Beau feel right at home. They were also very generous with whatever Beau needed. I highly recommend Lu and his family and feel good that we found someone to take care of Beau next time we need boarding.”
“Tanu and her family are amazing! I have an older dog and she treated him so very kindly. I received photos and updates as to how his stay was going. I would highly recommend Tanu and without hesitation use her again.”
“My pups run to Ilona and her home when they come to stay! This is rare for my dogs as they are anxious and are homebodies. She has a wonderful environment for dogs and and Goes above and beyond for them!”
“This was the first time being away from our dog and Nicole did a great job at making him and my family feel at ease! She regularly kept me updated with messages and pictures and took very good care of him. Will definitely use her again!”
“Thank you so much for looking after Charlie over the holidays. We were so happy he was well looked after. Appreciate all the updates and videos sent and the doggie gift you sent home with him. It was very nice.”
“If you want your pup to feel like they're at a home away from home - book with Tina. She and her family (two young children who will entertain your dog endlessly) will provide a loving environment with lots of play and attention. I boarded my 7 year old pit mix for several days and he felt right at home immediately. Tina was great sharing photos and videos of Lincoln playing in the fenced in back and taking lots of walks (I think he thought twice about coming back home :)). So happy I found her.”
“Victoria was amazing with our dog Luke! She was so kind and warm and I know Luke had the best time. She sent lots of updates and pictures and made us feel at ease! We would absolutely use Victoria again!”
“I had a great experience with Von’s dog boarding service. What really stood out was the consistent communication—Von sent pictures and videos every day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was well cared for and comfortable. At the end of each week, Von also provided a thoughtful summary update, which was a nice touch and showed real attention to detail. I appreciated knowing not just that my dog was okay, but how they were doing overall. On top of that, Von went above and beyond by celebrating my dog’s birthday with special cookies. That extra gesture meant a lot and really shows how much they care. Reliable, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do—I would definitely recommend Von and will be using their service again.”
“Nari and Ryan were such amazing and loving caretakers. They clearly have found their calling as they sent pictures daily, walked my dog regularly and anticipated both pets needs. I give them an A++ . Dont hesitate to book with them. What a loving and smazing family.”
“Vanessa is a wonderful sitter. You will feel her warmth and care for your fur baby. Her place is safe and secured. Our Flynn had a great time with her and other dogs. She sends you updates, photos & videos. Thank you Venassa! Will definitely choose you again and again.”
“I did my research before choosing and selected William based on the reviews of his satisfied customers. William did not disappoint! He was always available to communicate whenever I wanted, sent videos of their walks, and followed my instructions for their care and feeding. A worry-free vacation for us and my dogs had a great time! 100% would recommend and use again!”
“Elisabete has done a spectacular job watching Scooby, our Beagle. She sent us many videos and photos and took the best care of our pup. He came back to us so energized and happy. We will go to Elisabete every time!! A+++ Thank You!!!”
“Peggy is an excellent excellent sitter. We are so grateful to have found her. King was happy, clean and she kept us posted the whole time on how he was doing. This is the first sitter that I felt comfortable with. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you Peggy for taking such great care of our baby.”
“Kimi had a good stay with Yvonne. They were also very accommodative when we had to change our pick up time after our flight got delayed. Thank you for taking care of Kimi!”
“Aritra did a great job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. Kept us informed each day on his status and gave us updates when requested. Our dog really enjoyed his time and will be back again!”
“Iwona was wonderful for the moment I messaged her. She was very communicative and understanding on all the directions I gave her. My dog needed medication and some special needs and Iwona took care of everything with no problem. I look forward to booking with her again, as I know everything will be so seamless and I’m now very trusting of her. Thanks again!”
“Henry had a great stay with Daniel! We received daily communication, and when our flight got canceled, Daniel was extremely flexible in extending Henry’s stay an extra day. I highly reccomend Daniel and have already booked another stay with Daniel for Henry!”
