Taking care of Jivjeli and Pico for four days was fun. Jivjeli is a beautiful, smart and very well-trained dog. Walking her in the off-leash area of Three Mile every morning was relaxing as she has excellent recall. We also played chase and tug of war in the backyard daily. I was never fast enough to grab the chew toy! She seldom barks except when really excited and will gladly be a sleeping buddy if you let her. Pico is an affectionate cat that will seek attention on her terms. Multiple daily petting sessions were our routine especially around feeding times. She was vocal daily about wanting to explore outside in the sunshine! Even though she is older, she is still very agile. Marie left thorough instructions on their food routines along with the instructions on household items. If you are lucky enough to do a house sit during the summer months and love plants, watering Marie’s gardens are a Zen experience. The house itself is well laid out and the guest room is very comfortable. I would gladly house sit Jivjeli and Pico again.
I had a great time at Diana and Laura’s place! Pearl and Terra are lovely dogs and easy to look after and their home is very comfortable.
The house spacious, peaceful and comfy & it is in a perfect location for visiting the park and town centre. You can pretty much walk everywhere and Pippin, the funny and friendly Tibetan terrier, is very happy to accompany you. He has a charm all his own and passers by can’t help but comment on his lovelyness. He is a calm and friendly companion and will come when called. Olaf is mostly attentive when hungry but both like to keep you company whilst watching TV. He loves his tummy tickled. The hens don’t always play by the rules but they are really no trouble and they like nothing more than to explore their garden. I learnt the skill of wing clipping which I never thought I’d add to my CV! As for the fish and frog, once they have a sprinkle of food they are done. Ceri, Phillip, Theo & Isaac are a lovely family and because I had to leave early I never got to say a proper ‘goodbye’ which I was sad about. I was on my own for this sit and I loved the time to rest and relax with non human companions. Whilst the town of Mold is inland it’s a short jaunt to the sea or the mountains and Pippin travels well in his cage in the car or in my case, my van.
Sharon and Tim’s home is lovely and is set in beautiful countryside in a wonderful part of South Africa. You can sit and watch the birds over the vlei, each morning a pair of hadidas come and find their breakfast on the lawn. In the evening an array of birds flock to the garden and watching them is magical. The view is amazing and like a painting that is constantly changing with incredible sunrises and sunsets. I had a wonderful time taking care of their fur babies, Marli, Rumba and Tiger-Tango. They are the most adorable and affectionate pets and love their cuddles and attention, I absolutely fell in love with them. Marli is probably the most well behaved dog I have ever met, despite her age she is like a puppy and loves playing and gets so excited for her daily walks. I do hope that I am given the opportunity to return as I would love to sit again for them. Thank you so much Sharon and Tim for being such wonderful hosts and for allowing me the opportunity to sit for you, I hope to see you again in the future.
I’d have to say this was a dream house sit. Not only was Kimberly and Jeffs house / location breathtaking, but their 2 pups (Kaimana and Kalani) stole my heart and were such a pleasure to take care of. Ill miss my morning walks along the coast with them and playing in the water on the black sand beach with them that’s down the street from their place. And I’ll miss the peaceful seclusion of the area which was such a blessing coming from noisy New York City. Also Kimberly and Jeff were so welcoming and generous hosts. They made sure I was right at home, and were beyond generous with everything involving the transportation / logistics of coming and going from the sit. I really hope to get a chance come back soon, but I suggest if you have the opportunity to sit for them don’t pass it up!
Andy and Hanne are super welcoming, kind and flexible people. I would not hesitate to recommend any sitter to apply to sit their pet/house. I particularly enjoyed their beautiful garden, bath with candles, and their gorgeous shower booth! Holt is truly a gem you don’t want to miss if you’re on Norfolk, now it is on my favourites’ list. Certainly I would like to go there again and again! Their house is so spacious and comfortable! Whoever is fortune enough to stay with them, or without but at their place with their munchkins would surely enjoy their perfect and huge back garden. Their back garden is completely dog friendly and dog-proofed, ideal for playing frisbee, football, tug of wars, and combinations of these with Sebastian!! I miss him!! Sebastian the dog was/is fantastic. He is a phenomenally smart hound, with incredible friendliness, energetic and fun! He is, at the same time, placid and prudent. Very nice combination of traits - indeed - in my eye. He embodies what kind of care and affection he’s been receiving everyday from his parents (yes! his human parents) and Plambo the cat is an easy going and self sufficient cat! It felt so sweet when he would come past by my feet asking for a stroke. So nice! Let me know whenever you want my help, if I’m in the country or coming your way!

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!
