“Molly was incredibly proactive, warm, and communicative in taking care of our Hecate and Loki, being willing to meet them first because Hecate's a scaredy cat and so we wanted her to be comfortable with them, giving thorough and consistent updates, and made them feel relaxed while we were away! So lucky to have met Molly and Hecate and Loki look forward to future visits!”

“Andrew’s calm demeanor and confidence in himself and our dogs was a great match to our big dogs who aren’t used to new faces. He was reliable and professional to boot.”
“Kristina was amazing! I couldn’t recommend more - my cat immediately warmed up to her. He’s a messy eater and she even cleaned up around his bowl before I came home. She also sent plenty of pictures during each visit. If you’re looking for someone to do drop in visits, Kristina couldn’t be a better choice!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my family dog Indy since we rescued her! I have plenty of experience looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes and always love to meet a new pup :~) I miss Indy so much now that I’m far away from home and would love to get some time taking care of your dogs! I work on my own schedule, but love to be outside during the day. I’m very familiar with the neighborhoods of NYC and am happy with whatever works with the schedule and needs of your pet! I’ll welcome your pet over for a playdate in my small but mighty NYC apartment! There is room for your pet to lay in the sun and hang out while I keep a safe eye on them :-)
