“I can’t begin to express how happy I am with Omar’s service. I got so many pictures and videos, just by the photos I could tell he was providing so much love and care for my cocoa girl. He so kindly washed her blanket and bowls which I appreciate so much! Would 100% recommend, thank you again Omar!!! 🙂🙂”
“Thank you so much for taking care of everything over the past three days. He responded very promptly and kindly every time, and sent me videos several times, which made me feel very reassured. I truly appreciate his thoughtfulness and communication.”
“We are so appreciative of the wonderful care that Chialing provided our fur baby. It was a last minute booking and she was so accommodating. I really appreciate the fact that she says she will take the puppies for walks and provides photos and videos of them on their walk. She provides a clean, safe, roomy environment for the babies. Her and her partner Ali, who is also a Rover sitter work together and both are professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend.”
“Wonderful people Dana and Seth were taking care of Kofa! They were both very communicative sending me pictures and updates through my trip! Also very accommodating, Kofa definitely had an incredible time while there.”
About: Hi, I’m a dog Mom to Ruben and Teddy. I have a cozy home for dogs who love companionship, comfort, and plenty of attention. I offer a safe, peaceful space with room to relax, play, and enjoy daily walks. I have experience raising and crate-training Ruben from puppyhood and Teddy was adopted as a rescue. I understand the importance of routines, patience, consistent use of language and special treats to build trust with dogs. I work remotely, which allows me to provide supervision, personalized care, and a calm environment where dogs feel comfortable, and loved. It would be my joy to help be a part of your dog’s care team! I provide discounts to repeat customers and welcome working with you on pricing for extended stays and care for multiple dogs. My days usually include 2–3 walks: 10-15 min around my quite neighborhood block, playtime: fetch, belly rubs etc, potty breaks on a leash in the back yard and lots of opportunities for dogs to relax and chill independently or cuddle with me. When coming inside from walks, I wipe down their paws and faces with dog-safe wipes. I often play calming dog music and am happy to continue routines from home, including favorite treats, chews, or comfort items you send along. I keep routines as consistent as possible. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time (no more than four), which allows me to give each pup personalized care if needed. My home has plenty of space for dogs to relax and move around inside, and a semi-fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. For safety, I use leashes for all outdoor activities and always keep a close eye on the dogs in my care. I also have a crate and separate areas available if a dog needs quiet time, a break from the group, or their own comfortable space. I especially enjoy caring for small and medium-sized dogs who thrive in a relaxed home setting and would love having Ruben a and Teddy as a friendly companion during their stay.
“Maria was absolutely incredible! I have a timid elderly dog and she thrived under Maria's care. I got lots of pictures and in each one Didi looked like she was having a great time. You can tell that Maria truly loves what she does and has genuine care and love for animals. I will absolutely be using Maria every time we need a dog sitter, which is perfect because I think Didi misses her already.”
“My three babies spent time with Giselle and looked so happy in all the videos she sent during their stay. She was attentive to my babies special needs, understanding each individual personality and worked to make them comfortable in her home with success. My Honey can be a nervous Nellie but she was so calm with Giselle. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with my babies and will definitely enlist her services again in the future.”
“Raymond and his family were amazing!!! We had such a great experience boarding our 10-month-old cocker spaniel them. They treated our puppy like one of their own, and the whole family—including the kids—welcomed him with so much love and energy. Raymond was communicative, sending regular updates with photos and videos. We will definitely re-book with him in the future.”
“Essence is the best! I know my dogs are in great hands with her. She is always flexible with us, she sends us updates without us having to ask, my dogs are always happy when they leave her place. She is the best and I am so grateful for her. Xoxo thank you Essence.”
“Jocelyn was great- super communicative and flexible on pickup/drop off times. We got daily pix and videos. She kept our dog happy and he got plenty of exercise while he was in Jocelyn’s care. Would definitely book another stay for sure!”
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care Sujaya gave our dog, Bosston, over the weekend. They were incredibly attentive, especially when Bosston’s belly wasn’t feeling the best and during the fireworks, which usually make him nervous. She went the extra mile to comfort him and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Bosston was in loving hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!!”
“Katherine has been so amazing with my girl Melly the last couple of stays. I had to change Melly’s stay from daycare to boarding due to weather and Katherine was so accommodating. My pup usually isn’t fond of new people but she truly loves Katherine. Strongly recommend!”
“We loved having Rafaelina and her family watch Turbo for the weekend. She provided lots of love and exercise for Turbo and she came home very happy and tired. Rafaelina provided many photo and updates throughout the weekend and made sure she understood our dogs schedule and preferences. Would definitely book again. THANK YOU!!!”
“Kiara has a lovely home with a backyard which is a huge plus in my eyes. My dog gets nervous/shy when going to new places and she was really great with him. I definitely plan to return and highly recommend her!”
“Grace and Wu G. have taken care of our dog twice now and they were amazing every time. There is outdoor space for our dog to play and be active, and they are so kind and careful to update us and send us photos so we know how she’s doing, and they were very accommodating when our plans changed.”
“We are definitely happy with Jorge. Our Shi-tzu dog Chico stayed 10 days at his place. Chico had absolutely comfortable and fun time with doggie friends. Jorge sent us pictures, let us know how Chico's doing, and took her for nice walks. We highly appreciate his care and communication.”
“Iliana was a great host for our 11 year old mini schnauzer. He was there 6 days. She was responsive and sent us pictures of him taking walks and chillaxing in her apt. Would highly recommend her and we look forward to dropping Ace off again when we need a dog sitter”
“Naomi was amazing! Benji had an amazing time and Naomi was communicative and great throughout the whole process!! I highly recommend working with Naomi, I felt that my dog was in great hands while I was away.”

“Kristine helped me out in a bind, as I booked her last minute. She is reliable and ensures your fur baby is well taken care of. Meatball was a happy boy when I arrived home.”
About: I’ve had my two cats for about three years now, and we’ve built a routine together around feeding, playing, sleeping, and everything in between. Every day when I walk through the door, they’re the first two to greet me. I make sure they’re always fed, clean, hydrated, well cared for, and most importantly, safe.

“So grateful of Aymet becoming my cat sitter. My cat took to her instantly upon the initial meet up. Aymet made sure my cat and house was well taken cared for during my absence. She was very attentive to my cat and her needs. I will definitely rebook her. My cat and myself is appriciatic”
“Jorge took excellent care of our cat while we were out of town, and was able to fit her into his schedule without much advance notice. He was very communicative and helpful (he even vacuumed up some litter!) and I knew our cat was in good hands while we were away.”
“Noelle is SO SWEET with my cat, and incredibly communicative! She's great to work with (incredibly understanding of every weird little cat quirk, and owner quirks) and she respects the personality and interests of the pet.”
“Ana did a great job taking care of our kitties, even though they are super shy and hid most of the time. She went above and beyond looking for them and making sure they were safe! Absolutely will ask for her help again in the future.”
“Elisa was a wonderful sitter for our two kitties. I greatly appreciated the extra effort she took to work with us when our schedule changed due to bad weather. And I know Jack enjoyed getting a little play time!”
“Our cat loves Karen and he doesn't like most people! Karen looked after our cat for 5 days - everything went perfectly from feeding to refilling water to emptying the litter. She was even flexible to add on another day due to flight delays. Thanks again!”
About: I had three cats; I learned how to administer their medication and feed them at their scheduled times, and I played with them. I also looked after another family cat. I cleaned their litter boxes every day to keep them sanitary and prevent any issues, and I gave them small treats when they behaved well.
“Colleen is simply the best!! She took care of my cat for 5 days while I was out of state. She was very communicative and let me know each time when she arrived. She also provided a little note and photos each visit which I truly appreciate. I felt so relieved knowing my cat was happy and doing okay! I highly recommend Colleen and I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Jen did amazing job with my 3 cats. One of them need medicine everyday and she showed up on time. Hung out with them and playing with them. Leave the house with no mess and everything done well. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been a cat parent for 10+ years now and have worked professionally as a cat sitter in the Chelsea/Downtown area. I have extensive knowledge as a parent and hope to provide an enriching experience for them. 🐾
About: I’m a reliable and passionate animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets. I offer regular dog-walking services Tuesday through Friday and provide pet sitting every day of the week. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience working at a doggy daycare, as a kennel technician and groomer, as well as caring for the pets of family and friends. I also have two amazing dogs at home! I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring that they get the best care possible. You’re welcome to reach out at any time while your pet is with me—I know how hard it can be to be away from them. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I currently work full-time through Rover, so pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I do dog walks Tuesday through Friday from 10 AM to 2 PM, and I’m available for new clients after 2 PM. I make sure to communicate with my clients, send picture updates, and treat every client/home with respect and every pet as my own. On walks I'm aware at all times and take safety precautions seriously.
About: With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, our home has become a second home for countless furry friends. What started as a fun activity with my young son has grown into a true passion we continue to share. Now a spirited teenager, my son still brings the same energy and love to every pet we care for—ensuring each one gets plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. We live in a private apartment in a family-owned three-family house in Lower Westchester. Our home is clean, spacious, and pet-friendly, with a private deck and a small backyard perfect for fresh air and play. We’re also just a short walk from the beautifully updated Yonkers waterfront, where your pet will enjoy scenic strolls and outdoor fun. You won’t find a more dog-loving duo. Whether your pet is high-energy or prefers laid-back lounging, we’re happy to tailor our care to their unique needs and personality. We truly love what we do—and it shows. Feel free to reach out with any questions. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Since we’ve been pet sitting for over a decade, we’ve built our schedule around giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Morning and evening walks are part of our daily rhythm, and we make time throughout the day for play, feeding, and cuddle sessions. My teenage son is very involved—he loves helping with walks, playtime, and making sure each pet feels right at home. Whether we have one guest or a few, they’re always integrated into our family life with love and consistency. In our home, pets are treated like family. We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. They have access to cozy spaces indoors, a private deck for fresh air, and a small backyard for outdoor time. We stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special care instructions—to ensure a smooth and stress-free stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure, keeping things as familiar as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to their individual needs while maintaining communication with the owner for peace of mind.

“My dogs always love going to Leon’s. They pulled me to his door and were so excited to see them. They had another wonderful stay. We will continue booking with Leon when we need a sitter.”
“I had such a pleasant experience interacting with Maria. She put all my worries at ease. Maria sends numerous photos throughout the day which made me feel less anxious while I was away from my sweet pup. She made sure my pupper had a fun filled day. Thank you so much Maria. I would definitely recommend her services and will be back in the future.”
“Maggie had the best time at daycare at Kiara’s. She and her family were so warm and welcoming, and it made me feel at ease dropping Maggie off with them. Thank you for loving my girl like your own.”
“My dog Ocho absolutely loves Jorge. It was his first time at doggy daycare with Jorge (as opposed to walks). As soon as we walked him outside to meet with Jorge, Ocho tried to jump in his trunk! No lie!! Again, I was a bit jealous that he loves Jorge that much, but very appreciative to have found Jorge, who is now part of our doggy circle! Jorge sent over 20 pictures of Ocho having fun throughout the day, which I lovvvvveedd. I’ve previously left my dog at doggy day care facilities and had to beg for feedback and/or pictures, but not with Jorge!! Book him now, you won’t regret it!”
“I left my labradoodle, Ramona, with Valentina and her 4-year-old son for few hours, and honestly, she had the best time. From the start, Ramona felt completely at home — she got tons of love, playtime, and cuddles. Valentina was amazing and kept me updated with sweet pictures and little messages, which really put my mind at ease. Her son was the perfect little playmate, full of energy but so gentle and caring with Ramona. They played, ran around, and Ramona clearly loved all the extra attention. When I picked her up, she was happy, calm, and probably would’ve stayed even longer if she could! I highly recommend Valentina and her sweet son if you need someone loving and trustworthy to watch your dog. 5/5 paws from Ramona! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“Thanks so much for watching Mor! he was all tired out from playing with the other dogs - he was so easy at the end of the day. Katherine was able to accommodate my early schedule as well which was great”

“Glory was great with my dog, super friendly, on time, very communicative & adhered to all requests. Will definitely book again in the future & highly recommend to anyone else in the area in need of a sitter.”
“My wife and I were very thankful with Chialing as she took our baby Taco on a very short notice and took care of him wonderfully. She kept us posted of his activity and send us pictures through out the day. I highly recommend her services.”
“Essence was wonderful. She sent me so many updates and gave me peace of mind that my dogs were in good caring hands. She walked them multiple times, took them to the park, and cuddled with them. I highly recommend this lovely pet sitter.”
About: I’ve always loved animals as a child and young adult. I also grew up taking care of my family pet (a female Silky Terrier) who lived 14 beautiful years before her passing in 2018. Thanks to the pandemic, I've been able to hone in and build a loyal clientele where I offer pet sitting, walking and boarding experiences for both dogs and cats. I can help elevate any pet stress you may be experiencing. Located in the Bronx, but willing to travel. I require a 4 hour minimum notice ahead of requested service. I only book pets one at a time (or double if your pet has a sibling). This is for safety and undivided attention. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment where your pet can roam free with my discretion. Willing to also crate and adjust according to comfort. Let’s discuss!
About: I have had pets of my own for most of my life. I’ve been caring for my pets since they were puppies to now elders. Having experience with both cats and dogs I have grown to know how to love and care for them properly. I have experience in basic care like walking and feeding and giving them extra love and care! After working on rover for 2+ years I have gained plenty of experience in handling medicine as well. I am currently available in the afternoon to give your pet the love and cuddles they deserve! Hours can range from 12pm or later, hours are flexible! I have a fenced in yard where pets can play in. I also have the tools for walking including a portable water bottle for pets if needed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 2 years, I also do dog walking. I treats dogs like my own, I have a 3 year old male Pomeranian/King Charles spaniel dog. I’ve trained him to be able to be free at the park and being able to come back to me without running away. He knows not to eat food from the floor. He’s a very obedient dog, I make sure the dogs that I board feel comfortable with me and my dog, I like to walk them at least 3 times a day and for long period of time, I have a park near by where I like to take them to sniff around and run around in the dog park. I also give them treats when at home, dogs are allowed to be on the bed, I provide access to water 24/7. I’m working full time, as I am a stay at home mom of a 4 month old baby. I’m able to play with the dogs, and walk them outside 3-4 times a day. I have a 3 years old male Pomeranian/ King Charles spaniel dog, 20 pounds he's very anxious at first but warms up perfectly fine after. I live in an apartment, I don’t keep my dog in a crate but he’s crate trained. I’m able to keep your dog in crate if you prefer. I don’t provide crates, if I see my dog is very anxious with the dog I’m boarding to keep both dogs safe I will leave my dog with my mom. Other than that I usually don’t have any problems with dogs being on the bed etc.. My dog doesn’t isn’t aggressive, he’s just anxious when meeting new dogs. But he likes to have company since he’s by myself. I have my living room free with plenty of space for them play around, I recently moved into a new apartment so I dont have any furniture in the living room.
“Travis and Mel are always great with my pup, Teddy, and he always has a blast under their care. They always take the time to play with Teddy and to ensure that his enrichment needs are met. Great sitters!”
“We had a great experience with Shaun for doggy day care! It was our first time our puppy was in day care but Shaun made sure we had frequent updates and pictures throughout the day. He also went out of his way to make sure he knew what training skills she knows and is working on, and showed her so much love. We will definitely reach out again next time, thank you Shaun!”

“I was honestly really worried about hiring a dog walker because my dog is very reactive, but Tatiana has been amazing. She is not only professional, arrives on time, but clearly experienced, which has put me at ease. I especially love the detailed updates in the app—it shows me everything about my dog’s walk and gives me total peace of mind. After just one walk, my dog already gets excited to see Tatiana, which says everything. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue to use her services. Highly recommend!”
“I can't say enough great things about Jorge! He treated my two dogs as if they were his own. That was not easy with one very senior dog and a one year old. No hesitation highly recommending himm.”
“After my original dog walker no-showed for the walk-through that had been confirmed 8 hrs prior, I was in a pickle. We had 3 days to find someone to walk & feed our 3 dogs of varying ages and personalities. Kristine not only was available, she came to the walk through prepared with all the right questions to put us at ease. Jacqi, Caryn and Stevie can be a lot for anyone but she handled 8 days like a pro who genuinely cared. And to top it off we received at least 5 photos from every visit. We returned after a week away to happy and well cared for dogs and Kristine is the reason why. If you ever need a pet sitter, look no further!”
About: I have had my own pets since I can remember ranging from cats, dogs, iguanas, hamsters, fish, salamanders, hermit crabs, and even chicks. Growing up, I spent my summers on my grandfather's farm raising cows, horses, pigs, cats, dogs, chickens and a rooster. I don't have and human kids but I have raised many fur babies. I am the go-to person for family and friends, especially for pets with very specific care instructions. I am in NYC; I drive and have a pretty flexible schedule at this time. My career outside of pets includes Human Resources Management and Operation Director at different schools. I am currently working for myself as a treat maker so I am very flexible with time. I also have a clean license and reliable transportation. I am currently in NYC but can travel to Westchester County and northern NJ as well. I love when a client gives me detailed instructions and will follow them to a tee. I am a very organized person with a high attention to detail who often goes above and beyond in everything I do. Because I have worked with children and at schools, I have been fingerprinted by NYS/NYC, Dept of Health and the NYC Dept of Ed.
About: I have experience caring for three dogs. One was named Maia, an Australian Shepherd who belonged to my aunt. She was very energetic, and I spent a lot of time playing with her. I also cared for a German Shepherd named Rex. Although he was calmer, I played with him frequently as well. The third was Mango, a very small puppy with lots of energy. I fed all three dogs the appropriate amount of food based on their weight and at their scheduled feeding times. I also took them to the park regularly, although I took Mango less often because he was still a puppy. I am available to work on weekdays from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and I can also start as early as 8:00 AM when needed. During that time, I am happy to care for your pet by providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the day. If the visits involve feeding, I would stay with the pets to play, keep them company, and give them a little extra affection before leaving the owner's home—naturally, always within the limits and guidelines provided to me. As for walks, I would make sure to bring everything necessary to ensure the pet feels comfortable and has a good, playful time.

“5 STAR ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience — she was so kind, patient, and flexible, and sent beautiful photos throughout the walk. My dog came back super happy, and everything went so smoothly. Would DEFINITELY book her again. She also brought her own pup along, which was such a pleasant and much appreciated surprise since my dog does better with a support dog by his side.”
“PJ is the BEST!!! He's super reliable, always on time, sends the best pictures, gives Chewbacca lots of love and attention and communicates just the right amount. No wonder Chewy loves him. Maybe a little too much?!? Makes me a little jealous actually. But what's better than knowing your dog loves seeing his "second best friend!" I know he's in great and caring hands with PJ!”
“Karen was a huge help to me and my wife, who had just sprained her ankle. Our dog is new to us and still not fully trained, but with my wife unable to walk him, Karen really helped us out, and she handled his walks with no problem!”

“Lyndsey was super! I requested her help late Monday night and she answered right away and was able to help us for the week starting the next day! She was super attentive, listened to my novels, and handled our new pup with ease despite his sometimes less than perfect behavior on walks. She showed up on time, paid attention to Hudson’s preferences, and was super communicative with me while I was away. I knew Hudson was in good hands and he now has a new friend both he and I appreciate more than we can say! We’ll definitely be using Lyndsey again and have already recommended her to friends!”
About: Ive been pet sitting since I was around 12 years old, and have had a dog ever since I was a kid. I love taking care of animals and giving them as much love and attention as possible. Ive taken care of small Yorkies to large Rottweilers and everything in between. I have also been professionally walking dogs for the last 5 years. I have always had a special place in my heart for animals of all kinds, which leads me to prioritize their needs. I am currently working as a professional pet sitter/walker so your pets needs are my top priority! I am very diligent about keeping the animals safe; not only while they are outside but while they are in the home as well. While on walks I have worked with different kinds of reactive dogs and know techniques and strategies that will help keep all parties safe and secure. I also have experience in giving pets medication and making sure they don'e eat anything that could hurt them.
“Linda was great with our Yogi Bear, and he absolutely loved her! We booked her in a squeeze, and she was able to adjust her schedule and make time for us, which we greatly appreciated! She also was very kind and patient with our boy despite his extra energy. And we could tell that she has a lot of experience with dogs- which is important to us as corgi parents. Overall, we look forward to looking with her again soon, and many thanks! 🐾🙂”
About: I have spent my life with dogs and grew up taking care, playing, nurturing, and training dogs for as long as I can remember. Their place in the family is just as strong as any family member, and I love to give them the dedicated attention they deserve! Available any day of the week for services provided! As a freelancer, I spend a lot of time at home and have a completely flexible schedule. I am available any day of the week to execute any experience needed. Have flexible time on my hands allows me to give your 4 legged best friend all the time they'd need to play, walk, and be given special attention. I live in a great part of town that has a lot of safe, walking pathways as well as a fenced backyard. There are no other pets or children in the home so your pet will have a 5-star experience dedicated solely to them. During my experience with dog sitting and dog walking, I prefer to give each pet their own 1-on-1 dedicated time. I find this builds a better level of trust between myself and your loving pet.
About: I've had my dog his whole life (17 years) but I've actually been a caretaker for my entire life. I'm the eldest sibling, first grandchild, therefore the oldest of all of my cousins & I have babysat all of them (and their pets) through all stages of young life. I'm used to taking care of animals & kids. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter as a kid in Pennsylvania, and thus far there isn't a single animal that I've come to contact that I don't like! These days, I do a lot of pet & house sitting for my artist friends and family (ranging from just a walk a day to over a week of living with their pets.) I have experience with older animals with medical needs, and I've even taken over for friends who were pet sitting themselves but couldn't handle the difficulties of living in a small space with a large teething puppy. A couple of years ago (right before the pandemic) one of my favorite neighborhood cats brought my to her newborn kittens, and I took it upon myself to feed & house her & the babies until they were ready for adoption (and they're all safe and happy with their individual families). Even the mom eventually got spayed & adopted. I'm a freelance artist, so my schedule varies from week to week. At the moment, I have a lot of freedom, so I'm prepared to take on whatever service(s) are needed of me. I follow instructions very well & always leave homes cleaner than how I entered them. In the past, I've created lists on my phone with furbaby's routines & needs (medical details with images included as an added measure,) as well as sending pictures/videos to their owners while they're out.
About: The main factor that sets me apart from other sitters is flexibility. I also have two very friendly dogs of my own, so walking and taking care of dogs is not just a job for me, it is a lifestyle. As mentioned above I have two dogs which I care for daily which includes walks, daily feeding, park time, and treats. I also take care of neighborhood and family dogs on a weekly basis with several recurring clients. I provide a fenced backyard area for the escape artists, and for those who have training off leash I have additional yard space which is mostly fenced. In the backyard there are several beds and play areas, along with a plethora of toys. Inside, since we have dogs of our own, the inside of my home is ready for any furry visitors including motion detection cameras surveying the inside and outside.
About: "I don't just 'watch' your dog; I seamlessly integrate into their existing routine. My commitment is to zero stress for your dog by maintaining their preferred feeding schedule, exercise intensity, and favorite cuddle spots. "My real estate career allows for incredible flexibility, which is great news for you! Need a midday walk that changes weekly? No problem. I'm happy to work around your ever-changing schedule to ensure your pet gets consistent care exactly when they need it." I have a back area off of my kitchen and I have a dog lead back there. I live close to all the parks. I also have a small puppy pen if needed.
“Awesome! On time, friendly, thorough. Even allowed my brother to walk with them so get my anxious dog comfort with him as her new walker. Very informative and sent pics of the walk! Will be using weekly :)”

You can tell that Maria truly loves what she does and has genuine care and love for animals. I will absolutely be using Maria every time we need a dog sitter, which is perfect because I think Didi misses her already.”

They were incredibly attentive, especially when Bosston’s belly wasn’t feeling the best and during the fireworks, which usually make him nervous. She went the extra mile to comfort him and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Bosston was in loving hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!!”

“I cannot express enough gratitude for Shaun's incredible care of my dog during a recent emergency. In a moment of panic, I reached out to Shaun, and he stepped in without hesitation, showcasing his genuine love for animals and his professionalism. Belle has been with Shaun before, and it was heartwarming to see how quickly she settled in. Their bond is undeniable; it was as if they were old friends reuniting. Belle absolutely loves spending time with Shaun, and knowing she was with someone she trusts made all the difference during a stressful time. Shaun went above and beyond to ensure Belle's comfort and happiness. He kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my worries. His attentiveness to her needs, from playtime to meals, was exceptional, and it was evident that he truly cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Shaun to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate dog caregiver. His dedication, kindness, and genuine love for animals make him an outstanding choice. Thank you, Shaun, for being there for Belle and for me when we needed it most! You are a true gem in the pet care community!”

She offered a FaceTime call before booking so I could feel confident and answer any questions I needed.

I’ll definitely be continuing to book with Destiny!”
