Jornelle watched our dog and house for two weeks while we were out of the country. She did a great job taking care of our dog and our house. She was extremely communicative with us and even cared enough to take our dog to her family’s Thanksgiving (after consulting with us) so our dog wouldn’t be left alone for too long. Would recommend!

Christine was a fantastic sitter that anyone would be lucky to have take care of their pets. She was communicative, shared lots of photos, and was accommodating with some last minute booking changes. We have one cat and one dog, and both were safe in her care. When we returned home the house was clean and the animals were happy!

In reviewing Victoria, I would like to say how responsible, professional and caring she was for our puppies! She was sure to have all the instructions down before we left, even coming the day before for a walk through, which was VERY much appreciated! She was seamless able to deal with the house, dogs and when there was a question, she was able to articulate it perfectly through the exact right cadence of communication!!  Most importantly, it was clear she not only took care of the dogs, but genuinely was happy to have the furry companionship - I would highly recommend Victoria for any drop in OR extended stay sitting and we will 100% use her again!

About: I started doing this for a friend that was going on vacation. I spoil Molly & treat her like I want mine to be care. I do this as a part time, I work from home, have my own routine. Like to be call three days in advance before you need my service. I don’t bring pet to my house, I believe is better not taking them out of their homes. I always treat them great. They are my baby pets.

About: Hi! Thanks for stopping by to check out my profile. I love animals of all kinds. I’ve had dogs and cats, as pets, my entire life. In my 20s, I took up volunteer, foster and rescue work with cats and dogs. I’ve been told I have a very calming and soothing effect on little ones that aren’t feeling well or have anxiety concerns. I’ve trained several of my own pets - dogs and cats - and I’ve taken several courses on animal behavior and training. I don’t pet sit as a “side hustle.” If I spend time with your cute kitty or your pawsome pup, it’s because animals bring me great joy. I want to do the same for your furry little one. Do what you need to do. Your little one will be safe, sound and pampered with me. I'm available for boarding, daycare, or training, for dogs or cats, in my home or yours. Let's do a meet and greet and get to know each other. I live in my own house, in Harrison, just a short train ride away from NYC. The door to my living room opens up to my safe and private backyard. It’s ideal for the puppy that just can’t wait to get outside. Because it’s just me, you can rest assured that your baby will get the undivided, one on one attention that they deserve. They will be spoiled, As they should be. I’m available to care for your baby in my home, or in yours. Do you have a training issue that you need help with? Let’s meet!

I have know Arley for quite a while now. He is just a pleasure to be around. He is kind, considerate and respectful to everyone. He is loving to all and loves animals. I have seen him around my niece's golden retriever and he is so gentle and kind to her. Anyone would be very lucky to have him as an employee.

If you want someone who will treat your pets with the same care and love as you, Varshini is your person.

Her dedication to providing safe, timely, and loving care is unparalleled and her attention to detail is remarkable – whether it's a leisurely stroll in the park or a cozy day at home. Varshini goes above and beyond to ensure that every pet feels happy and comfortable and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to leave their pets in the best hands possible!

Marli did an amazing job watching my two cats while I was out of the country for a week. It is clear that she is a cat lover and enjoyed spending time with them. I wanted someone who would play with my cats and give them affection while I’m gone, not just feed them, and Marli did just that! I could tell from the daily photos she sent me that both my girls were very happy. I came back home to two cats who barely missed me because they had so much fun with Marli.
