“We are so lucky to have found Paula, she's an absolute blessing! She is competent, reliable, responsive, and just overall a kind and lovely human! It was such a relief to know our furballs were in good hands while we were away. I cannot recommend Paula more highly, and we will definitely be using her again.”

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.

About: Since the day i was born i have had a small zoo in my home. Over the years i have had pets such as cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles and small animals. I absolutely love caring for my animals and it means the world to me to see them healthy and living their best lives! I currently have a 70+ lb pitbull of my own and spend alot of my free time volunteering at an Animal shelter in NJ. Most of that time is spent walking large (sometimes reactive) dogs, so large breeds and strong pullers are not a problem! I am available for drop ins and walks Monday- Friday (and certain weekends). As long as i do not already have a booking, i am usually available too help my fellow animal lovers with their pet care needs! I never leave animals unattended outside ( including fenced in yards). I also assure that all food and treats being offered are approved by the pet parents which i am working with. I also am very careful about keeping dangerous/toxic household items and plants far out of reach of any animals!

About: I have life-long experience with caring for animals and I bring energy, love, and dedication to every one of them.ever since middle school I have walked dogs, boarded small animals, and housesit for neighbors, and now I spoil my own dog daily. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats, to fish, gerbils, rabbits, and even reptiles. I’m also skilled in puppy training, senior dog care, and providing personalized attention to every pet. (For high energy dogs- I’m also a runner so if you want me to take your dog for a jog just let me know) With my 8:30-4 work schedule, I have evenings and weekends free to offer consistent care, including feeding, walking, and playing with your pet : ) When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize both their safety and comfort. I follow any specific care instructions, such as feeding schedules or medication, and specific routines you animal has. I also keep the home clean and tidy, respecting the client's space while ensuring their pets are happy and safe.

About: I have cared for my own pets since I was a child. I’ve always loved animals and have always had pets. I’ve rescued and helped strays cats along with my other family members. One of my most special cats had asthma and had to use and inhaler. I am capable handling medical needs for pets as I’ve also owned english bulldogs and they’ve had various skin allergies so I’m aware of allergy needs for special cats and dogs.

My own pets have made it senior ages as well and am aware of older pets needs. I’m currently working and care for my dad so I only have Tuesdays available but will be adding more availability when I don’t have to work as much in the future and plan on Monday through Friday availability. I do Daily basic grooming and baths. I trim nails and can administer medications and take dogs on walks. Belly rubs and ear scratches. Cleaning up after my pets and cooking for them and feeding.

“Oleg was nothing short of incredible. My wife and I were traveling for our wedding and we hadn't used Rover before. Oleg put any nerves we had about leaving our pets alone at ease. He was communicative, caring, and you could tell he really enjoyed playing with the cats. He stayed later than required in all three visits and blew up our phones with pictures and videos. I highly recommend Oleg and would definitely book him again.”

About: Hey there! My wife and I have two adorable pups—Hazel Basil, who’s 7, and Ozzy Baby, who’s 2. Lucky for us, I work a hybrid job, so I can be pretty flexible to look after your furry friends. My goal? To get in 10k steps a day, enjoy some sweet treats along the way, stay hydrated, and most importantly, have fun! Since I currently care for my 2 fur babies, what’s a few more ? We enjoy long walks , pup cups and car rides . I work a full time job however it leaves me with a lot of flexibility to work around your fnoofs and my fnoofs schedules. I have a fenced front yard , along with a gated backyard where the fur babies can get their zoomies out. If your pup likes to be by themself I do have a calming corner as well .
