House Sitting in Annandale, Staten Island, NY

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Paige is the first sitter we hire through this app. And the experience couldn’t have been easier. She came to the house to meet Toby a few days before the actual sitting and it was great, in general he is afraid of other people and has Separation Anxiety, but with her he was all happy and playful. On the sitting day she arrived on time, and took the time to go over the care details for Toby and he continued his regular routine. Additionally, she spent time playing with him throughout the day. Toby really liked spending time with her and it was like we had never left the house. She is a great sitter and we will be hiring her again.”

About: With over six years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked for three pet sitting companies, the MCSPCA, and at the same kennel twice. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and countless other animals—big and small—with love, patience, and reliability. Growing up surrounded by animals shaped my deep passion for their well-being, and I’m committed to treating every pet like family. 💞🐾 Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, as I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule. That means I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to your pet. I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits during the week and weekends, and I’m happy to help with holiday or last-minute bookings. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely love, so this never feels like “work” to me—it’s something I look forward to every day. I grew up with dogs and have been surrounded by animals for most of my life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I always follow instructions carefully, prioritize safety, and strive to make every visit calm, fun, and stress-free. Whether it’s a big, energetic pup or a shy senior cat, I have experience with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities.

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs for about a decade. I am experienced in taking care of multiple pets in a home and I am also experienced in working with senior/sick dogs and giving oral medications to both cats and dogs. I work full time as a preschool teacher and am also working towards getting my Master's degree so, unfortunately, my availability on the weekdays is limited to when I get out of work after 3:30pm. Unless there is a break from school (i.e. spring break, winter break) or school is closed for holidays, my availability on the weekdays won't change. On weekends, I am fully available unless otherwise stated on the calendar. Trust and safety between us and your pet are top priority to me! I like to meet in advance so you can show me how you like things done and so we can build a rapport. Meeting before our scheduled booking also lets me meet your pet(s)! It helps when I can build a relationship beforehand so that they are more comfortable and it gives you a chance to see how they respond to me. Though I do give pets time to warm up to me as not all are too keen on having strangers in their home. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet (and home) with a stranger, but I will do anything needed to make you and your pet feel as comfortable with me as possible!

About: Hi! I’m John — a certified dog lover, NYC DOE-vetted caretaker, and proud former dog dad to the sweetest Shih Tzu, Lola. I grew up with dogs and cared for Lola for over 10 years. I know exactly how much your pup means to you because mine was truly part of my heart. Whether I’m walking, sitting, or dropping in, I’ll treat your dog like family — with patience, love, and dependable care. I’m based in Staten Island and currently work as a substitute teacher, which means I’ve passed background checks and know how to be punctual, respectful, and trustworthy. My schedule is flexible over the summer and during weekends. Let’s chat — I’d love to meet your pup and become their new favorite human! I’m going to have full availability to work over the summer, since I work as a substitute teacher in the New York City Department of Education. I can also accommodate towards last minute bookings if needed! The neighborhood that I live in is very safe and quiet, which would be ideal for walks. Your pet would always get my full attention to their daily needs.

“Oleg was amazing! I have a very difficult cat, and he was very patient and calm with her. He is communicative and sends updates daily along with photos. I felt secure being away from home knowing he was taking care of my fur baby. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Cassie provided excellent care for our two cats over the weekend. She was very attentive to their individual needs and really seemed to appreciate their unique personalities and quirks. Cassie was also VERY communicative and responsive, sending lots of pictures that showed her cuddling and playing with them both. They clearly got their fair share of love while we were away. The house was neat as a pin when we returned and both cats hardly noticed us when we walked in-- a sign that they got plenty of attention. I would absolutely have her care for my pets again.”

About: From birth, I’ve always cared for pets. I saw my first dog, Max, to the end of his life at the age of 19. Currently owning cats with my family, I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, fish, even snakes. I’ve raised kittens and puppies and though I have little experience training, I’m a fast learner and I love a challege. I work remotely, so I can stay home and enrich your furry family members. I would love to spend time with and take care of your pets. I’m great to sticking to plans and schedules, and I will do everything I can to make sure your furry friend(s) is as comfortable and happy as they can be without their person around.

About: Hi, my name is Vivian and I would love to get a chance to know your pet! I absolutely love animals and dogs have a special place in my heart. I have a lot of experience in dog walking and basic pet care, as I have a dog myself. I also have experience caring for cats and have one myself as well. I can be relied on to walk, feed, and bathe your pets as needed and if your pet is on a schedule I will make sure it is followed. I would love to get to know you and your furried friend better and give your pet the care it deserves. Looking forward to meeting and getting to know both you and your pet! I am a recent college graduate student and am available to work any day of the week, especially for the summer. I would love to spend time with and to care for your furry friends! I typically walk my own dog as a part of my daily routine and I would be glad to make helping you out as another part of my daily routine. In my own home, my dog is pretty well-trained. He knows not “go” in the house, listens to basic commands, and gets along with people and other dogs well. Therefore we do not have restrictions for him in the house. However, if your dog is not allowed to go into certain areas of the house or onto certain furniture or requires to be put in their cage, I have no problem keeping them out of restricted areas and putting them in their cages before leaving if requested.

“Melissa was excellent. She sent photos of my dog having fun every day. The house was in perfect condition when I returned. Melissa is a responsible, warm person. I highly recommend her.”

About: Growing up, I have always looked after dogs of close friends and family, and have studied nutrition and health, which led me to work at a pet hotel for about a year with almost every dog breed. My responsibilities included prepping food, cleaning, 1 on 1 play, and group play. I have been in charge of up to 20 dogs at 1 time. I also co-own a dog named Luna. The other owner and I had Luna since she was a puppy and she is now 5 years old. I teach obedience/behavior training to many dogs and I develop trust with dogs that is unique to my experience with various breeds. It takes patience and consistency to be a great leader for dogs and I wear my heart on my sleeve for every dog I'm caring for; communication with your dog is key. I currently work part time and make Dog care apart of my every day routine, if I'm not with my dog I'm working with other dogs. I have a good size open backyard and toys depending on the play style of your dog; crate training is much appreciated if they are familiar. Walks are frequent, especially for high energy dogs

“Kaitlyn was amazing with my babies! She was so patient with my bashful girl. She was punctual and thoughtful. Absolutely perfect for the job!!”
