Look no more, you found your most ideal sitter! Sabine and Florian are kind, caring people. All communications before the sit went smoothly and without any stress. They were flexible on when to arrive and leave my place so I could plan my trip easily. Very organized and detail oriented, you could see how they care for my pet from the questions they asked. They sent me lots of videos and photos and I could see how my cat is happy and at ease. And they left the apartment tidy and clean, same as when I left, which made my return home very pleasant. A big thank you to you both! I hope our paths cross again 😊

We found Jen when she relocated back to the east coast, and she is wonderful. She visited our two older cats daily whenever we were traveling. Sadly, she is moving to another area so I will be losing her, but I cannot recommend her highly enough for those in her new territory. She came for a consultation before we went away the first time to get to know our house and cats, and immediately impressed us. She is the definition of professionalism when it comes to animal care - very thorough, clean and communicative. Even though our cats are very shy with strangers, she is excellent with animals and I always felt so comfortable knowing she was the one they would see each day. She is fantastic and we will miss her - her new clients will be very lucky to have found her!
What a gift Jen has been in our life. The love, warmth, caring and fun she has given Rookie is a blessing. To have someone care so much for your most important person (doggie❤️) is something I wouldn’t have dreamed. Jen is great, so many other words to say but anyone lucky enough to meet Jen will agree. an angel sent to us at a time when we needed one. Thanks Jen, my friend. and Rookie pants girlfriend😋.
Jen always treats our dog, Luna, as if she were her own dog! I am confident Luna is safe and having fun while in Jen’s care. I highly recommend her!
Karen is an amazing professional caring kind sensitive pet sitter. She took care of our cat Jade who was very shy but she was able to find her each day and made sure she was safe healthy and happy. She even sent me pictures every day which …
Karen has been an absolute gem of a dog walker for my Shiba Inu, Lucy, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. Lucy *looovvvesss* her, and it’s clear that Karen has a special connection with dogs. She’s incredibly reliable, friendly, and professional. I never worry about Lucy's walks because I know she’s in the best hands. Karen is more than just a dog walker; she's a trusted friend to Lucy, and it's a joy to see how excited Lucy gets for their walks together. Highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!
Karen is an awesome dog walker. My dogs love her, she's always on time, sends pics of their walks and is very responsive. She's very flexible and willing to do extra walks when needed and if she isn't available for a given time she can usually help me find another dog walker who is. I know my babies are safe and cared for with her!
Karen is a true leader of the pack when it comes to all things dogs! We are so happy we have her taking care of our fur baby. Her communication and dedication to service are unmatched. She is so reliable and has been able to help us out in a pinch. We cannot express enough how lucky we are to have her looking after our little guy (5 month old puppy from the SPCA). 1000% recommend to anybody looking for a pet sitter, walker, extension of yourself for all your pet needs!
Karen has been our cat sitter while we are away for years now. We immediately felt comfortable with her and you instantly pick up on her love for animals. She's fabulous to work with, super dependable and reliable, and just a very sweet person overall! Karen is wonderful with our cats and it gives us peace of mind knowing they are being so well cared for while we are traveling. I would recommend Karen to anyone in the area looking for someone to take great care of their pets!
Karen is reliable, friendly, and most importantly our pup loves her! She has had great tips and suggestions for training, leashes, collars etc. she has really shown up for our family and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
I have been sending my hound to Karen for years. She is so caring with him. He gets so much love when he’s with her because she truly loves animals. Karen doesn’t overbook to ensure your pet gets the attention you would want for your fur baby. Her dog is a sweetheart also. I have used Karen for both overnight boarding and daycare and highly recommend her to anyone with a dog. She books up fast though so reach out in advance.
Karen is a trustworthy, attentive and thoughtful pet sitter! We are able to travel at ease because we know our two cats are safe in her hands. She takes her time with them, sends videos and updates, and is gentle and good with our elderly near-blind kitty. My wife was previously a professional dog walker and pet sitter and has a high standard, which Karen exceeds every time. She is great and we are so glad Peekskill has her in the community!
Karen was just simply wonderful with my boys and most importantly trustworthy! When we were in New York Karen dropped in on my boys for about 2+ years and became Auntie Karen to them really quickly. They loved her and so will your pups!
We are so lucky to have found Karen to care for our three cats! We were out of the country for a month, during which Karen sent us photos and videos daily, keeping us updated and informed. Our eldest kitty has special needs and requires multiple medications twice a day; Karen handled her beautifully, with genuine care and affection. She graciously took a piece of feedback regarding petting this kitty, and helped our cat feel so much more comfortable. Our two others are extremely shy and usually don't appear around new people, but they became Karen's new best friend! I can't overstate how delightful and shocking that was, and I think it speaks to the professionalism and love that shines through when Karen cares for your pets. Karen is fair, trustworthy, and very communicative; her pricing is also an excellent value. We'll rely on Karen any time we need pet care, and I couldn't possibly recommend her more!
Hoochie Poochie is the BEST dog walking service in NYC! Hands down. We always knew our puppy Simon, was not only in good hands but THE best hands! His playgroup made him so happy, that he wouldn't even want to leave! He met great friends, was always safe with the best dog walkers, and came home ready to sleep & rest (a dog mom's dream!!). We recently moved downtown, and the one thing that almost stopped us was that we had to leave our beloved Hoochie Poochie group. Our dog was basically having a suburban experience in the heart of NYC with time to run, play and walk. We don't have enough good things to say about this service and the wonderful people behind it. We miss you ALL!!
Hoochie Poochie club is AMAZING! Our dog Calli loves the playgroup, and her walker Nick may be her favorite person (besides mom and dad :)). She always has a great time, and I love how they send personalized emails with pictures after walks. It's also incredibly easy to communicate scheduling changes with the team. They are highly responsive (never waited more than 10 min for a response), and if I request at least a week in advance she can always join extra play groups. Their customer service is amazingly attentive, helpful, and logical. Would highly recommend!
Hoochie Poochie was the highlight of both our dog Charlie's day and my day. Charlie is a mini golden doodle with a lot of energy and being able to go out for three hours per day was so good for her. And for my husband and me, knowing that she was in excellent hands. We looked forward to our daily recaps and photos. The team was always kind, reliable, and trustworthy. I also didn't know it was possible for a dog to make real friends, but she did, many of them :) If we still lived in NYC, Charlie would absolutely still be part of the Hoochie Poochie club. I highly recommend them!
