Erin took amazing care of my kitties, making sure to play and cuddle with them while I was away. From the photos she shared each visit, they clearly appreciated the attention and most tellingly, they were relaxed and happy when I arrived home after a week, which means her visits really calmed them. She kept their litter and food area clean too! I’m so grateful for and happy with her care.

Jisu was great! She sent tons of pics showing fresh food, clean water, litter, and playtime, which really put us at ease. She was super communicative—always kept us in the loop if she was running late. We'd definitely book her again!

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with my family dogs Daisy the Shih Tzu for 14 great years, and caring for her taught me everything from daily routines to understanding her weird little quirks that make each dog unique. Since then, I’ve become the go‑to dog sitter for my friends, regularly helping with walks and overnight stays. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and know the importance of taking care of your dog as if it was my own. Your pet’s comfort and routine matter to me, and I’m committed to giving them the same love and attention they expect at home. I am currently working a flexible hybrid job in Tribeca and live in Astoria. I am flexible in terms of being near either location and more throughout the week. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, well‑organized 1‑bedroom apartment (about 500 sq ft), which creates a calm, controlled, and quiet environment that’s perfect for dogs who thrive on consistency and attention. My apartment is a short walk from multiple parks, so your dog will have plenty of space to play. The space is fully pet‑proofed and there is plenty of space for your dog’s bed/crate.

About: Hello lovely pet owners! My name is Ari. I have 5 years of experience taking care of cats and dogs! Owners have trusted me to walk, feed, play, and stay with their beloved fur babies. If you are looking for someone who genuinely loves pets and would do anything to keep them safe, you are looking in the right direction! I have a very open and flexible schedule. There are only a few days in the week that have a couple of hours blocked off, but other than that I can work around you! First and foremost, I will always take into consideration any notes from you (the owner) and follow them to the best of my ability while caring for your pet! If your dog needs playtime, snacks, crate time, etc. I will be happy to oblige. I always do my best to make sure that your pet feels safe, and is as comfy as possible! I will provide you with update pictures along the way!

Lee is a wonderful cat sitter! Lee watched my cat, Georgia, over the Christmas holiday on short notice. Lee offered to meet Georgia within hours of accepting my request and provided detailed updates and pictures after every drop in visit. I could tell from the pictures that Georgia was comfortable and well cared for! I highly recommend Lee to watch your cat (or dog) and will definitely be using them again!!

About: - [ ] I’ve cared for three dogs—an older Golden Retriever, a 2-year-old Yorkie, and my American Pit Bull Terrier. Each one has taught me a lot about their behaviors and personalities. While I don’t have tons of experience, I’m eager to form deeper connections with both dogs and cats, and I look forward to gaining a better understanding of what our furry companions truly wants and need. I'm a high school student with some free time, and I’d love to spend it walking and taking care of dogs and cats. I'm really passionate about animals and excited to give them the attention and exercise they need while also learning more about their care. On top of that, I love photography and would enjoy capturing some awesome moments with the pets I look after. I live at the back of the building, so you'd need to go through the basement to reach my place. It's fenced in on both sides, so there's no need to worry about anything. Plus, I have plenty of space for a fun play day!

About: I’ve been walking and caring for dogs in the city for about 5 years. My most special experience is becoming very close to my husband’s two pitbulls-Rza and Yazoo! They have my heart! Before that, I walked and fed dogs in my neighborhood growing up I had an aussie-german shepherd who I trained and loved very much. I have a big heart for dogs and understand the skills and patience required. I am aware of the responsibilities that come with pet ownership. I understand all dogs have a different personality! I will be sure to give your dog extra love while you two are apart under a careful & safe eye. I have a very open and flexible schedule and you can count on me to be around! I have a 9-6 full time job so I only have limited availability. I am available only on Thursdays + Fridays so I am not very flexible for other days. I want to always make sure the dog has their necessities taken care of food, water, etc. and that they feel comfortable! I want to make sure the dog is engaged and feeling cared for.

She handled everything with care and made sure my dog was comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated her attention to detail and reliability. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled pet caregiver!

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She took such wonderful care of my dogs and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she treated them like their own, making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Communication was great throughout, and I really appreciated the detailed updates. I came home to two very happy pups, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!
