“Stephanie loved my girls as if they were her own. They were well cared for, our home was perfect and as we met on the way out she has a calming and relaxing smile. Stephanie will be one of our family now ??”
“Nheli was absolutely wonderful! She came a day before our booking to meet Shayna and get acclimated with her, and on babysitting day, Shayna couldn't have been happier! She was super comfortable with Nheli (even during a rainstorm, which says something!) Nheli was responsive, and sent a bunch of adorable photos. Would love to work with her again!”
“Yvette was awesome! She kept our dog company during a family wedding. She sent lots of pictures and was flexible as our plans changed. We have already recommended her to our family who are looking for a new sitter!! Thank you Yvette!”
“Chelsea is a sincere dog lover and very reliable! Our DOD was well taken care of and I highly recommend her and would use her again! Thank you!”
“Justine stayed with our dog over the weekend while we were attending our daughter’s wedding. She was AMAZING in every way. It was so comforting to know he was in good hands and that allowed us to enjoy the weekend. She’s lovely and our dog is happy.”
“Peter is such a well-spoken, considerate, and accommodating young man. My dog immediately fell in love with him, and Peter offered the care I would've given if I were home-- and then some! Peter not only offers exemplary pet care, but also conducts himself in an organized and cleanly matter. You can be confident that he will keep your house in pristine condition. I didn't ask him to, but he vacuumed, took out the trash, and cleaned the dogs' water and food bowl. I would recommend Peter to anyone with pet needs because you can tell he cares about the work that he does. His rates are fair, he is open to negotiate, and you can count on him to respond. Peter has set the bar for pet care, and pet owners should never have to expect any less. He sends consistent updates, and spends quality time with your pet. Without a doubt, I will be booking with him in the future!”
“Lisbeth has been a great dog sitter. She took care of two dogs and did a great job with everything. She provided updates every day and sent doggy photos. Both of our dogs loved her.”
“Priscilla was amazing with our 4 dogs. She was incredibly attentive to their unique needs, compassionate, and caring. Priscilla communicated with us extremely well before and throughout our trip. She sent daily updates and pictures and we knew our boys were in great hands. We highly recommend Priscilla!”
“Treated my dog like it was her own! Very loving and playful! So happy to have chosen Alexa to care for our pup! 100% recommend”
“Kathleen was such a excellent sitter! She took fantastic care of our pets and house. She was a huge help when unexpected house issues came up, kept our pets happy, and sent thoughtful updates everyday. Thanks for all your help, Kathleen!”
“Sierra stayed at my apartment in the BX to watch my 45lb rescue pittie for three weeks in May, and I highly recommend her! She was responsive and so generous coming all the way from NJ to meet my pup and me first and incredibly responsive before the day of. Every day she sent me text and/photo updates, and it was super clear my pup was very well cared for and loved. Coming back, pup was happy and healthy and the apartment was clean as I left it (thanks, Sierra!).”
About: I love dogs! I have my own Samoyed and know all the ins and outs of puppy training and dog care! I love being active with dogs and teaching them tricks. I have treats and toys to play with, as well as experience with dogs that pull on the leash- no worries! I’m flexible and can work around your schedule as well; just let me know. If you want socialization with your dog, my Samoyed is always welcome to making new friends! I am loveable, fun, energetic, and great with dogs and cats. I can feed your dog as well, and do some training if wanted! I am trained in positive behavior support which is the principle used in dog training. Whatever your needs are, they can be met
“Andrea was fantastic at caring for our dogs. She showed care and compassion when the one had a bellyache and took steps to help her feel better.”
“Milena was absolutely amazing with our big dog Magnus. She was so great to work with, excellent communication, very kind, caring and trustworthy. We returned from our trip with a very happy dog, and the house was just as we left it. I would HIGHLY recommend!”
“Michael was amazing - took care of all three animals including our paralyzed dog. He not only fed and carried him around as needed (not easy with a 70 lb lab), but was very thoughtful in spending playtime with the animals and keeping us posted every step of the way. We have rebooked Michael for this weekend and plan to do so again in the near future. Nothing but glowing reviews”
“Cindy was absolutely wonderful! She helped out after a sitter cancelled last minute, came early to meet our nervous pup, and stayed a half hour longer just to make sure she got her full time outside. I couldn’t be more thrilled and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dog since I was 7 cause i had my first golden retriver and now another one. For me they are like a little brother. I’ve taken care about feeding , vet, get in the water and start to swim , walking, seating in the car and clean their hair and body. Usually dogs love me , I kindly pet them always every where I am. I’m currently working part-time, but not every days and all day. So I’ll be always free on Monday and Tuesday and then for the other days I have to check every time my job’s schedule . I will bring your dog outside for a walk when he needs, I will cuddling with all my love if he wants and when he wants. I will sleep with him if he needs. I will play with him with his toys.
“The dog was happy and the place was standing. In the end that's all that matters but a decent person who communicates well with an honest smile on their face and a personality to match makes the whole thing run smoother.”
About: I’m Ann, I’m a mom and a web developer and work at Amazon graduate with my B.S. in Electrical Engineering. I grew up surrounded by dogs my entire life. My love of animals started at a very young age. Currently my house has 2 parakeets. I do foster dogs all the time.I love being a pet sitter because it gives me the opportunity to meet and bond with so many new pets and their owners. I enjoy all the different personalities of our client’s pets and it’s rewarding when an animal loves seeing you when you walk in the door. I’ll spoil and love on your fur babies as much as I can while I’m visiting them. When I have free time I enjoy going to concerts, hiking, traveling, spending time with my friends, watching movies, and playing video games.
“Amanda is awesome! She took great care of our senior dog while we were on vacation. She was extremely patient and attentive to her needs, gave her all her meds, and plenty of walks and attention. She was also very communicative which helped ease our anxiety about leaving our dog. I highly recommend her!”
