Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Utopia, Queens, NY

About: I've taken care of a series of dogs from a Jack Russell Terrier, to a Pit bull, to a Husky and Pit bull mix and enjoyed them all. All of the dogs have stayed overnight and their owner are more than happy. I recently had a dog who it was his first time away from his owner so I had to build his trust. Within 24 hrs he was comfortable, jumping around with me, licking me, and making sure I was always near him. I tend to keep the owners up to date with pictures or videos if they would like and they always come back. I am a college student who works from home part time. Outside of that, I go to the gym and attend zoom meetings for my extracurricular activities. This gives me a lot of time to dedicate to the dogs and make sure they are well at all times. I have a fenced yard and security cameras at both the front door and back door as do all my neighbors. A variety of treats are always available for trust and training purposes. I make sure that someone is always home so your dog isn't alone, although I'm more than likely at home.

“Always a pleasure. Thanks again, Oswald!”

“Ayah did such an awesome job with Rye and Tofu. She took lots of pictures and videos during her visit. She took such good care of them and was frequently updating me to let me know how they were doing. Thank you Ayah I’ll for sure be hiring again!”

“Melanie is an absolute gem! She went above and beyond to accommodate my last minute request and followed my instructions perfectly. Her extra care and gentleness towards my dog Daisy, who was recently sick, was exceptional. Daisy absolutely adored her and she even extended her visit to spend additional quality time with her. I will definitely be booking with Melanie again!”

“Diane is the best. We have used her in the past and continue to use because she’s super reliable, communicates well with us and Chutney loves her. Highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.”

“Jacind is an animal lover at heart and overall great person. She’s watched my dogs before and they loved her! She’s down to play and also gives tons of belly rubs!”

“Great with guinea pigs! I recently had Catalina do some drop-in visits to check on my guinea pig, and she was fantastic. Guinea pigs are very social animals, so usually when I leave mine alone for very long he's quite grouchy and cold afterward. With Catalina, though, he was super friendly and happy when I came home. She definitely took the time to play with him and talk with him, and I really appreciate it! ”

“Ariyan is my son. Saw him with dogs since he is 11. Bought him his first dog when he was 15. Since then he had many dogs. All the dogs use to like him which proofs how he takes care of those. I am happy to say he is a dogdad in my eye”

“Vivian has helped me walk Kobe (pitbull mix) a number of times and she has been great! She's very communicative, reliable, on time and I trust her with my baby.”

“Analucia took good care of my dogs. She cared for them like they were her own. She was wonderful with them. She was there for me to look after my dogs when I had to travel unexpectedly for a death in the family. She was very accommodating in my time if need. She is reliable and trustworthy. I wouldn't use any one else to look after my dogs.”

“Dominique is awesome and really calming for a this nervous pet parent!!! Thanks so much for walking our pup!!”

“Nateesha was such a wonderful sitter for my elderly cat. I needed someone to drop by my home once a day to change my cat's water and food and keep her company while I was away. Nateesha was great for the job. She kept me up to date with her visits, took photos, and followed the sitter guide I gave her. She was extremely responsive and professional with a charming and positive personality that I and my cat took a liking to. I will be sure to book her again when I need a sitter.”

“she is great, she take care of my dog while I was on vacay and it was great, so lovely, i recommend her a lot”

“Bushra has been a friendly face around the neighborhood for as long as I’ve lived here. If I ever see her while on a walk with my dog, Empanada, there’s never a time when she hasn’t stopped to pet and coo at him. It was a bit of a no-brainer to ask her to look after him when I had started a brief stint working late and needed someone to feed and take him out while I was gone. She was consistently reliable and absolutely amazing with him. I can wholeheartedly say she is someone I’d put my utmost faith in.”

“Sonya is by far my first choice when I need a dog sitter. She has been helpful on several occasions especially last minute. She kept the house neat and tidy and stayed in communication with me on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving the dogs and house behind. Sonya is trustworthy, and my dogs love her as much as I do!”

About: For about two years, I've been looking after my friend's dog. Growing up, I've always had cats, and my love for animals runs deep. I'm committed to ensuring their happiness and well-being, going above and beyond to care for them. As a flight attendant, my schedule varies every week. However, you can always reach me, and I typically have entire days or even two to three consecutive days available. I'll ensure their happiness by taking them for walks, feeding them nutritious meals, and providing attentive care, including cleaning up after them, engaging in playtime, brushing their teeth, and meeting all their needs to keep them healthy and content.

About: After not being allowed to have pets growing up, as soon as I graduated college, I decided to foster my special needs cat, Hudson. One week later, I decided I was keeping him! (even though I was going on an extended international trip in 3 months!) Spoiler alert: I ended up coming home from my trip with a 1 month old kitten, my dear Leóna from Nicaragua (she was the first kitten I'd ever seen in my life!). That got me started in the cat and animal rescue world where I went on to foster (thankfully no more foster failures after my first 2!), TNR, transport, and petsit cats and kittens of all ages (including feeding an outdoor cat colony for my friend while she was on vacation!). That semi-impulsive decision to get Hudson at 22 led me to become a total softie and animal lover - I even gave up eating meat and stopped killing bugs (except fleas - sorry fleas!). I am so thankful to those who watch my cat while I'm away so I can still pursue my love of travel and I want to be that for someone else and provide affordable rates to make pet ownership a little easier! Things to note: - My home is located about 15 minutes away from both JFK and LGA! - Although I have never had a dog, I absolutely love them and am open to learning how to best care for your dog and they are more than welcome in my home! - My cat is up to date on vaccinations - I clean the litter box 2-3 times a day - I have experience administering oral medication to cats I will send you many pictures and love your pet as my own! Know they are in good hands! I currently work from home so I have a lot of flexibility in meeting the needs of your pet! I feed my own cat about 4 small meals a day (she's a diva!) and clean her litter box 2-3 times a day. I am available to follow whatever schedule you have your pet on if they stay with me! Otherwise, I also might be able to drop-in on your pet at your home and stay for some extended time and do some work from there, if you'd like! The pet's comfort is my number one priority. I will never do anything to make your pet uncomfortable and will meet them where they are! If they are not comfortable around me, I will not bother them, but I will make sure they are well-fed and in a clean environment. Additionally, the windows in my home are screened and always remain closed.

“Thank you, Brianna, for taking care of my elderly cats for two weeks! Usually, when I leave them, they get upset and could pee all over and make a mess. At this time, I came back to the clean apartment, and my cats were healthy and cheerful 😻.”

“Mahalia has been an excellent caregiver for our 6 year old pomsky Remi for the past two years. We have nicknamed her the dog whisperer! She is a compassionate and warm person that has given our fur baby a safe space. She is knowledgeable and educated about dogs. She has always thoroughly communicated during his boarding stays about potential behavior or health challenges. When I pick him up, she gives a full report and plenty of adorable photos. She is playful, responsive, and responsible. Remi is always so excited to see her and to stay at her home. Pomskys are an energetic bunch but she manages to tire him out with all of their fun activities. Her home is a warm and inviting space for a dog and she is surrounded by ample green space. We are so lucky to have her in our lives. I always have peace of mind when he is in her care.”

“George was awesome. Very communicative and followed my instructions perfectly. Felt much more at ease leaving my little one at home in his care. Will definitely reach out again when I’m away next. Thanks for everything. Glad you got to be buddies with Totoro :)”
