“Omar was an amazing sitter!! He was so responsive, kind, and Ruffle absolutely loved him. I am so grateful he was available at the last minute and will definitely leave Ruffle with him again soon!”
“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!”
“Giselle was great. This was my first time boarding my dog in any capacity so needless to say I was both nervous and apprehensive. Within an hour Giselle was providing videos and updates on my dog which helped my wife and I get comfortable very fast. Giselle is also very accommodating as we had to increase the stay one night which she did for us with no problem. There is a lot more to say, but overall I highly recommend her services.”
“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.”
“Dana provided the perfect care and environment for our dog Birdie - she felt at home right away and had the best time hanging out with Dana and running around outside with her dog Healo. She kept us in the loop with Birdie's activities with photos and videos which kept us at ease. Birdie made some new friends, and we made some new friends in the process as well. I highly recommend Dana and will most definitely be using her again in the future. Thanks again Dana!”
“First time utilizing this king of service for my dog. I am very happy with Iliana. She is super responsible and great with dogs, the proof is, my 12 years old cranky baby Sammy. He was happy and relaxed with Iliana. She is a dog lover and Sammy was comfortable with her. Soooo happy I found Iliana to take care Sammy. I recommend her 100%.”
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.
“Adela is a fantastic, caring sitter. She took care of our cat Simon for more than a week and we felt so at ease having him in Adela’s home. Adela is thorough, dependable, and clearly made our cat feel so comfortable and relaxed. Thank you, Adela — looking forward to having you care for Simon again soon!”
“Naomi was amazing! She was so communicative, comforting, and kind. She was ON TOP of things in every single way. I needed a sitter last minute about a week out from my family vacation. I was scrambling to find someone on rover and Naomi was available and excited to watch Genevieve! On top of that, Genny had a rough grooming appt a few days before dropoff, and got a corneal ulcer in which she would have to take eye drops and pain meds. Naomi without question agreed to helping administer them and make her comfortable. You can imagine how worried I was as a dog mom, leaving her with someone new and with a medical issue! Naomi made me feel so at peace leaving Genny with her. She's truly created a doggy haven at her place, with full range for them to hang out inside and out. I am so thankful I found her when I did, and that Genny had such a wonderful time! She was whining when we picked her up, she didn't want to leave! I would recommend Naomi many times over and would give her more than 5 stars if I could!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Grace! I left my cat Aria with her for 5 weeks, and she took absolutely wonderful care of her. Aria usually gets stressed in unfamiliar places like the vet or groomer, so I was especially nervous about how she would react to other cats and a new environment. Grace handled everything perfectly. She started Aria off in her own room so she could feel safe, and then slowly introduced her to the rest of the house and to Grace’s cat. Within just a few days, Aria was roaming around comfortably and even socializing! Grace sent me frequent updates and photos, and I was amazed at how relaxed and happy Aria looked. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she wasn’t stuck in a cage (like the “cat resort” I thought was our only option before I found Grace), but instead had the freedom to explore, play, and feel at home. I’m beyond grateful to have found Grace. She’s thoughtful, patient, and truly understands cats. I’ll definitely be using her for all future boarding needs—we won’t go anywhere else! Highly recommend!”
“She contacted me everyday and told me the time she ate and send me pictures I felt very comfortable glory sitting my dog . The time I broung the dog she was already outside and when I picked up the dog she was downstairs also . my dog came back smelling very good btw 🤣. I’m definitely going to rebook with glory”
“Katherine was a godsend when I needed an emergency cat sitter for my little man. She’s accommodating, friendly, and communicative. Also, I appreciated the gentleness she used with my cat, which put my mind at ease while he was boarding. I highly recommend Katherine as a sitter. She’ll definitely be repeat resource for us.”
“Maria is adventurous and has been great both times our pup stayed with her. We got consistent updates on their activities. Maria has a big heart for dogs and we saw that in her care of our pup. ❤️🐕”
“As always, Pip had a fantastic time with Vivian and Ronnie. There was a buddy there named Cha Cha and they became best of friends even sharing their beds! Always so grateful to have found Vivian and Ronnie and Pip is looking forward to the next time he gets to stay with them!”
“Our puppy Luna had the most amazing time! Jocelyn made sure that she had her daily exercise and playtime. We also received videos, pictures, and updates during the 3 days she spent at Jocelyn’s home which made us so happy and reassured. Best puppy stay for sure, highly recommended!”
“Thanks for another great stay for Teddy! He feels so welcome and loved in your home, it has become his second home! He truly loves being with your family and we love being able to travel knowing he is so well taken care of!”
“Priyanka is the best Rover care giver I’ve ever had. She is caring and thoughtful and took incredible care of our senior dog. We’re so grateful to her and will definitely book her again”

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.
“Excellent Cat Sitter, Not only were their needs taken care of. She went above and beyond and organized the place a bit. My cat is prone to allergies so this was really appreciated. You can really tell that her heart is in it and she takes care of them like they were her newborn child. Can't reccomend Alice enough”

Experienced in providing patient companionship, maintaining consistent routines, enriching playtime, administering medication when needed, and creating a calm environment that helps cats feel secure and connected while their families are away.
“This was our second time using Kristine to cat sit and she was just as great as the first time! She was available for the holiday weekend with little notice and provided photos and a detailed note each visit. I’m so glad my cat was well taken care of and happy while we were away. I highly recommend Kristine!”
“Jessica went above and beyond to care for the house and my cats while I was away. She sent photo updates and made sure I knew what was up with my babies while I wasn't home. Looking forward to having her in my rotation of sitters!”
“Laudianny was the perfect sitter for my most precious possession Ted! She provided daily updates and it seemed like he got comfortable quickly. Within a day he was making biscuits with her so i know he was well cared for!”
“Liliana is great with our cat who usually hides away when we're gone. She's now coming out and being friendly which is great and makes us feel better when we're away from her.”
“Jorge took great care of my babies while I was away for Thanksgiving! He is very thorough and responsible and even took time to play with them with their favorite toy. Five stars!”
“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!”
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.
“This was the second time booking Colleen to cat sit. She was just as wonderful as she was the first time! She sent photos each visit and reassured me that my cat was doing okay! I can’t recommend Colleen enough!!”
“I cannot recommend our cat sitter highly enough! She took such amazing care of our cats while we were away and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she make sure our cat was comfortable and monitored closely, but she also cleaned up all the messes without complaint and kept us updated throughout the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. She was reliable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely treated our cats as if they were her own. It’s not easy dealing with unexpected pet health issues, but she handled everything with kindness and dedication. We came home to happy cats and a clean home, and we are so grateful for her help.”
“Fallon was able to come give me peace of mind while I was traveling out of town and another sitter ghosted. She was incredible, communicative, and helpful around the apartment. I would book again with Fallon any time I’m considering travel. She took fantastic care of my elderly cat and conure!”
About: I’m a college student with two cute cats of my own, so I have daily hands-on experience taking care of them. I’m very comfortable with feeding, cleaning, grooming, and making sure cats feel safe, calm, and cared for. I genuinely love cats and enjoy spending time with them, learning their personalities, and making sure they’re happy and well looked after.
“It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I recommend Yarley for your pet sitting needs. She did such an amazing job taking care of my 2 cats while I was away for a week. As a newbie to this type of service, I had a lot of questions and wondered how well my pets would fare in a strange environment. I immediately felt comfortable with Yarley at our initial virtual meeting when she clearly explained the details of the pet sitting service and what I could come to expect. She provided a clean, organized and safe environment for my cats to roam and frolic about. Yarley sent daily me pics or a short video clip with a brief narrative on how my cats were doing. These were a delight to receive - seeing my cats have such a good time in her care! Each update boosted my confidence in having selected Yarley as the right person for the task. She is warm, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, clearly loves cats and taking care of them. Thanks again Yarley for getting to know and tending to Maverick and Mellow so very well for me. I know they can’t wait to revisit for their next vacation with you! :-)”
About: I've been in love with animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up around animals and owned a chihuahua. I regularly take care of friends' dogs in the area when they are out of town and am happy to meet some new furry friends! I am very loving, responsible, organized, nurturing, and attentive. Animals make me happy. I would love to take care of your furry friend! Book me and allow me to do something I love to do. I currently work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I'm happy to visit your dog whenever is best for their schedule. I will gladly send you picture and video updates of your pet, and happy to play with them using their favorite toys. I also love cuddle sessions! I will ensure your pet is being cared for and am open to learning your pet's caregiving style. I like to listen to the pets I care for and pay attention to their body language. That has helped me fully understand the needs of each pet I have taken care of.
About: I have always had a fondness for cats, and that has only grown as I started cat sitting professionally. I have experience giving medication in multiple different forms, and am not shy around a litter box. Cats that are not comfortable around new people or take time to warm up to others don’t intimidate me, and I am always ready to put in the effort to make them comfortable and feel safe. I am also more than willing to play for long periods of time with high energy cats and kittens who may otherwise get into mischief.

“Omar is AMAZING!! Walter felt at ease from the first moment they met. He walked right in as if he has known Omar all his life. He looked forward to seeing him every morning.

“Second time booking with Essence and my dog was happily wagging her tail when I dropped her off. That gave me more reassurance! Essence sent me amazing photos several times throughout the day and kept me updated on her walks. As usual, she was also punctual and responded quickly to my messages. Thank you Essence!”
“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 enlisted assistance of Bianca when I needed to board my pets over the holiday due to last minute work reassignment and Bianca made herself available on short notice. I also placed my babies in her daycare and she was more than helpful in rearranging her schedule to meet our needs.She has been more than kind, attentive and accommodating to my babies, Autumn and Pumpkin, from the moment they met. She took the time to bring her baby, Bb, to meet my pups I and ensured that everyone got along. She's focused on assuring me that my babies needs are met with contact continuously while they're in her care - with pictures videos and text updates. If you're looking for a dedicated, responsible, caring individual to care for your babies, then have found the one in Bianca. I am so grateful for the care she has provided my babies and will continue to enlist her help in the future.”
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.
“Shaun is an excellent dog sitter. He took care of my senior doggie and played with her, and made sure she had a good time away from home. I knew it was going to work out when he asked me to make sure I send along Nala’s favorite toys for the day. :)”
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!
“Thank you Tiffany for hanging out with Biscuit! I appreciate the updates and quick communication. Also really appreciated doing a meet and greet before we booked daycare. Biscuit is excited to see you again soon!”
“My golden doodle, Reba, is often anxious but she very quickly felt right at home with Vivian and her husband! They are lovely people and I would definitely leave Reba with them again.”
“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.”
“Maria is a GODSEND! She absolutely loves and cares for your dog as much as you do. I’m a first time dog owner and I was so nervous leaving behind my pup while I went to work..but after meeting with Maria, and seeing how my pup loved going to her, I felt reassured. They play well together, go on long walks, he respects her and listens to commands..he is EXCELLENT hands. Maria’s is his second home❤️”

“Luis was the best sitter I’ve ever had. She kept me posted on everything my dog needed. She was so helpful and patience. It is so hard to find a good sitter especially for our furry babies. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Jorge is the best! My dog gets so excited to see him and Bunchy is always happy and tired after their walks. Jorge is prompt and always leaves thoughtful notes and details about their adventures. You can tell that he really cares about animals. I felt very comfortable with him out and about with my Bunchy and I'm grateful he was available to help me out in a pinch.”
“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!”
“Jacob walked our two big kids Maggie & Milo for 6 days and put up with all their pulling and stubbornness. We could not have asked for a friendlier, more conscientious or patient person to deal with these two critters. I'm giving Jacob 5 stars and my strongest recommendation to anyone looking for an A+ walker.”
About: I’m a college student with 4 years experience who loves dogs, enjoys spending time playing with them, and really likes meeting and caring for new dogs whenever I get the chance. I have experience caring for dogs and puppies through helping family members with their pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing loving, reliable care to keep pets safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for.” I follow a daily schedule to care for my cats, including feeding them in the morning and evening, cleaning litter boxes regularly, providing fresh water, and spending time playing and bonding with them throughout the day. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for pets by following their routine closely, ensuring their space is clean and secure, giving them fresh food and water, and offering gentle, attentive care and companionship.
“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!”
“Aymet was beyond amazing. She took great care of my lil Joliee. She was kind and consistent with sending updates. She is gentle, understanding and patient with the furbabies. Thank you so much. I will book again!”

Obviously I will respectfully follow any set rules and schedules of clients needs and wants and provide the same love and care as if they were my own.
“Tiffany is amazing! Definitely will be my primary from now on. My dog has terrible anxiety around other dogs and she took on that challenge with no issues. She goes far and beyond to ensure your pet receives the best care possible. Your pet will be in good hands when choosing Tiffany!”

“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!”

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!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life. I can’t remember many times when a dog was not around. I’ve been actively caring for pets since I was 11/12. I we had dogs and rabbits and fish and gerbils and birds. Our pets our our little bit of unconditional love. And in the end, my dog Juju was ill. I took care of him even when he couldn’t walk. From walk to doggie diapers and wee pads, to food and affection. Our pets are our hearts and their needs are important. All of them, including and most importantly love. My current dog, whom I’m boarding and hoping to adopt, wakes up and goes out immediately as he is still a puppy. While I get ready for work, he eats breakfast (he currently does 2 meals a day, trying to get his nutrition better), then he goes for a walk before I leave to teach class. Mid-day, he goes for another walk as he is still young and learning, in the evening after work or the gym, he gets dinner and a walk. He goes out at least 2 more times before bedtime. I have a grassy knoll convenient for quick walks. I live in an area that is both residential and close to shops. Lots of sidewalk and places to walk to. There’s even a park down the street, great for taking pets to go for a run. In my home, I keep things pets should not have locked away. And at another’s home, I follow the guidelines set by the dog parent.

“Omar was an amazing sitter!! He was so responsive, kind, and Ruffle absolutely loved him. I am so grateful he was available at the last minute and will definitely leave Ruffle with him again soon!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Dana provided the perfect care and environment for our dog Birdie - she felt at home right away and had the best time hanging out with Dana and running around outside with her dog Healo. She kept us in the loop with Birdie's activities with photos and videos which kept us at ease. Birdie made some new friends, and we made some new friends in the process as well. I highly recommend Dana and will most definitely be using her again in the future. Thanks again Dana!”
“Naomi was amazing! She was so communicative, comforting, and kind. She was ON TOP of things in every single way. I needed a sitter last minute about a week out from my family vacation. I was scrambling to find someone on rover and Naomi was available and excited to watch Genevieve! On top of that, Genny had a rough grooming appt a few days before dropoff, and got a corneal ulcer in which she would have to take eye drops and pain meds. Naomi without question agreed to helping administer them and make her comfortable. You can imagine how worried I was as a dog mom, leaving her with someone new and with a medical issue! Naomi made me feel so at peace leaving Genny with her. She's truly created a doggy haven at her place, with full range for them to hang out inside and out. I am so thankful I found her when I did, and that Genny had such a wonderful time! She was whining when we picked her up, she didn't want to leave! I would recommend Naomi many times over and would give her more than 5 stars if I could!”
“Maria is adventurous and has been great both times our pup stayed with her. We got consistent updates on their activities. Maria has a big heart for dogs and we saw that in her care of our pup. ❤️🐕”
“As always, Pip had a fantastic time with Vivian and Ronnie. There was a buddy there named Cha Cha and they became best of friends even sharing their beds! Always so grateful to have found Vivian and Ronnie and Pip is looking forward to the next time he gets to stay with them!”
“Our puppy Luna had the most amazing time! Jocelyn made sure that she had her daily exercise and playtime. We also received videos, pictures, and updates during the 3 days she spent at Jocelyn’s home which made us so happy and reassured. Best puppy stay for sure, highly recommended!”
“Our experience with Shaun has been absolutely fantastic! They took care of our two dogs, Belle and Mia, and we couldn't be happier with the service. We received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dogs were always happy and tired after their time with him, which is the best sign that they had a great time. We highly recommend Shaun to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and skilled dog walker. We will definitely be using their services again in the future!”
“Anton was very kind and accommodating of my anxious dog. It was the very first boarding experience for my dog, Reiki, and he was very nervous when we arrived at Anton's place. I was worried that he would stay restless, but I was totally wrong! Anton sent me photos and updates, which made me feel safe asking more of his service again. Reiki was able to calm down within hours under his care, and very much enjoyed spending time with him 😄.”
“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!”
“I had the pleasure of meeting Sujaya at a meet and greet prior to booking a boarding reservation. I am glad I did. She was so lovely at the meet and greet and when I left my pup with her, it was a great decision. Sujaya was so attentive and accommodating to anything my pup needed and was extremely responsive to any questions I had. This particular boarding was because I had a family wedding to attend and I felt immediately at ease that my pup was in good hands. It was obvious that Sujaya is a natural caretaker and really went above and beyond to take care of my girl. I think my pup (Irene) did well for her first time with a new person and Sujaya was alert to her needs and wants during the stay. I will definitely book Sujaya again!! Thank you Sujaya!!”
“Such a great dog sitter for my Bella!! He was very active with my dog. Greatly appreciate the care you had for Bella. Definitely would want to come back. Thank you Travis!!”
“Anali provided excellent care for my dog. She seemed very competent and knowledgeable on how to take care of dogs and provided a sense of relief as we never met before I dropped him off. She did an excellent job of taking pictures and keeping me updated and was even able to accommodate an extra day as my schedule changed.”
“Yusuf is a life saver. I messaged him super late from the animal hospital about care the next morning and he was so responsive. He was able to watch my dog who just had surgery and was AMAZING. you can tell how much he loves dogs and there’s no one else I’d rather have watch my pup!”
“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!”
“Jialarie was a delight and a great sitter for my pup. I can tell he had a wonderful time and have ample time to release his playful energy. She was responsive and provided pictures and clear communication. I will be booking again in the future.”
