“I recently had the pleasure of having Madison stay with my two dogs while I was away on a weekend getaway, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet/house sitter. Madison went above and beyond my expectations, demonstrating exceptional responsibility and genuine care for my puppies. From the moment Madison arrived, she immediately connected with my dogs, making them feel comfortable and loved. Throughout her stay, she showed great dedication, ensuring they were well-fed, exercised, and received plenty of affection. It was evident that Madison's love for animals extended beyond mere duty, as she genuinely enjoyed spending time with my pets. What impressed me the most was Madison's attention to detail and her commitment to following my instructions. She didn't just meet the basic needs of my dogs; she went the extra mile to provide additional care and companionship. Madison's regular communication and photo updates were invaluable, as they allowed me to relax and enjoy my getaway, knowing my furry companions were in excellent hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Madison as a pet sitter to anyone seeking professional and compassionate care for their animals. Her exceptional service, reliability, and genuine love for pets make her an outstanding choice. I will definitely be reaching out to Madison for future pet sitting needs.”

“When we got home, Rocky said he had a great time! All joking aside, Emily was extremely easy to work with. We had great communication and didn’t worry about anything. We felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care. She even sent some photos which was very thoughtful. She accommodated all our requests and we were extremely happy. Rocky can’t wait for us to go away again! We will be using her again, and highly recommend her for her services.”

I also send clear updates with photos and videos so you stay informed and never feel stressed about how your pet is doing. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priority. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup.

I make sure my pets get plenty of love and attention every day. Between walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping them active, they’re always happy, healthy, and cared for.

About: Hi! My name is Lily and I'm 24 years old (a part-time college student) and I love dogs. I have some experience with them, I have worked at Camp Bow Wow, Dogtopia and the Bidawee/Last Hope Animal Shelter in Wantagh for a little while. I can help with walking, playing, letting and them out to do their business, etc, I took care of all the neighborhood dogs when I was little. I have a very flexible schedule. I am free everyday unless something urgent pops up. Your furry friend is always going to be my main priority:) I split a house with my parents. Big back yard, not fenced though. If I was in your house, I would keep things neat and tidy and of course give lots of cuddles to your loveable pet:)
“The good part of vacation is time off and going new places. The bad part of vacation is leaving our pups at home. But Jenna and Greg did such a wonderful job taking care of them that we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves because we were never worried. Thank you so much!!”

“Charlotte was absolutely wonderful! She loved on our three dogs and kept us updated while we were away! I was put at ease by the updates and pictures sent! Such a sweet kind soul - we look forward to using her again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for 15 years. From puppies to seniors, Dachshunds to Pitties. I’ve owned my pit for 15 years and I adore him with my life. I have dog sat for a whole week even commuting to and from work to make sure their pup was safe and healthy. I have dealt with all the beautiful and not beautiful moments with my furry friends and I will always make sure to take care of them and make them feel at home with me. I am currently working full time at a doggy boarding facility and get my schedule a week in advance. I will make sure that the week ahead is confirmed for anyone who needs me. I make sure to continue the schedules my clients supply to me. I have a dog with a very specific diet, so I will be sure your dog gets all their meds and proper food so they stay in great health! I also am active so long walk and play time are no stranger to me! If your dog is more mellow I will match their energy and pace so they can feel comfortable and secure. I am Dog CPR certified and Dog behavior certified, so I am able to work around all personalities!
“Christin did a great job watching Susa for a couple of hours. Susa can be a bit shy before you get to know her and Christin knew not to push it. I recommend Christin and will contact her again the next time we need help babysitting Susa.”
About: I took care of my first family dog from when she was a puppy until she passed away from old age at 15 years old. I’ve also taken care of other family members elderly dogs and walked them before. I work from home so I have flexible availability in my day and can walk dogs throughout the day while their parents are at work. I have a 7-year-old cat, Rye, and a 1-year-old puppy, Whiskey. Rye stays engaged with plenty of toys, a moving water bowl, and an automatic feeder and litter box. I make sure he eats healthy food, stays well-groomed, and gets plenty of love. Whiskey gets the same level of care—proper nutrition, exercise, training, and affection—to keep him happy and healthy.
“Chaira was excellent. Took such good care of my two babies Trixie and Max. She sent allot of pictures and text with any questions she had. Made my trip so much better knowing they were well cared for. Definitely recommend!!”

“Grace was wonderful with our dog and cat. She was quick to respond, punctual, and sent us updates throughout her stay. She even left us a little present at the end which was such a sweet gesture. We will definitely book her in the future and would highly recommend her.”

Lenora was absolutely amazing. She stayed in our home and took care of our dog, Cloud, for 5 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly gave Cloud so much love and care. We received regular updates after walks along with plenty of adorable photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our home was well cared for, and Cloud was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable with her. Lenora is hands-down the best sitter we’ve found here, and we would 100% book her again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust.

Devon was exactly the person I needed to care for my fur granddog while I was away. She was professional friendly, caring and attentive. She took wonderful care of him and treated him as I would! Everything was in perfect order when I returned! I would highly recommend Devon! You’ll have peace of mind knowing your furbaby is in good hands! Thank you Devon!

Kaitlyn O. is a top-notch pet sitter. She cared for my small dog and kitten and truly excelled in all areas. Her professionalism is outstanding: she's very punctual, responsible, and incredibly proactive with all questions and updates.

She is highly recommended, and I look forward to using her services again.
