Dog Sitting Astoria

“Christa was great- hank was fully exhausted, happy and cared for after her visits. Sent lots of great pics and updates with each of her visits. I felt very reassured that hank was happy and safe in her care ♥️”

About: Over my 24 years, I have had 3 dogs, 1 cat, as well as experience sitting other dogs and animals like cats and even guinea pigs! I love being active and I live right next to Astoria park which is perfect for walks. I work in the office only 4 days a week, and am free in the evenings. Besides that I work from home Fridays and am home most weekends. I have an extremely spacious apartment, again that is right next to Astoria park! I also have no problems with pets being on the furniture and my bed.

About: Hi, I’m Christian! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog dad of 14+ years. I live in a dog-friendly, second-floor walk-up in Astoria, just steps away from a park where your pup can enjoy some fresh air and exercise. I work from home, so I can give your dog plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a senior who needs some extra TLC, I’m here to provide a safe, loving environment. Your pup will always get the love and care they deserve with me! My job allows me to set my own schedule as it relates to coming into the office, so I am very flexible on going in. Most of the time I am working remotely so I can give your dog the love and attention it needs. I am on the second floor of a walk-up building I which is dog friendly. I’m two blocks away from a park and would have no problems taking your pup out for as many walks as they need. I also have pads that I can put down as well. I’m happy to cater to whatever need your pup may have.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and love caring for animals. I’ve fostered 14 cats, including kittens, undersocialized cats, and cats recovering from surgery, as well as fostered two dogs. I’ve also been a neighborhood dog walker and have cared for family pets. I’m comfortable with animals of all ages and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. **A quick note about boarding:** Because I have a cat at home, I'm best suited for dogs who can settle comfortably in a home environment. Unfortunately, I'm unable to accommodate dogs with severe separation anxiety or persistent barking, destructive behaviors, or difficulty settling. I want to make sure every pet in my care feels safe and comfortable! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate different pet care needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care based on what works best for you and your pet. I have my own cat at home, so pets staying in my home must be comfortable and get along well with cats. I always prioritize safety and make sure every pet has a calm, comfortable environment while in my care. For pets who aren’t comfortable around cats, I’m happy to provide care in their home instead.

About: I have had a dog in my life since the day I was born and they are my absolute favorite pets. I love playing with them and giving them all the belly rubs they could possibly want. I have a shepherd mix named Trout, who I adopted, and he is the friendliest most playful dog ever. If you would like to board your pup with us he would be sure to be the best buddy. I have experience handling both small and large dogs, elderly dogs, and dogs that require medicine. I ask that clients inform me of any routines the dog may need to follow so that I can give them the best care possible without disrupting the status quo. Let me help you to give your dog all the attention they deserve!! I work at an aerial studio and bartend a few evenings a week. I am never gone for more than 6hrs at a time (and that is usually in the evening), and I am never more than 30min away from home. I can provide walks and/or yard playtime every 4-6hrs. I have one large dog crate if your dog needs to be crated when I leave the house. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your pup to run and play. I live on the 2nd floor so that can be harder for elderly dogs or dogs with stair issues.

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: I’ve been around cats for most of my life. I grew up with cats in China, volunteered with animals when I was younger, and after moving to the U.S., I often helped friends care for their cats before becoming a cat parent myself 5 years ago. Over the years, I’ve gotten very comfortable reading cats’ personalities and boundaries. Some want to play and follow you everywhere, while others need more time and space to warm up. At home, I keep a calm, cozy environment with plenty of space to relax, play, nap, and look out at the Manhattan skyline. My own cat loves sitting by the window and watching the city :) I’m happy to follow your cat’s usual feeding, litter, play, and sleep routine as closely as possible, and I’ll send plenty of photo and video updates while you’re away. Btw, I’m also really good at taking pictures, so besides the everyday updates, I’ll make sure to catch your cat’s best angles and send you some extra cute, high-quality pics too :) My goal is to make your cat feel like they’re having a little staycation, not just being boarded. For new clients, I’m also happy to meet for coffee or do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand so we can get to know each other and make sure everyone feels comfortable before the stay. I work from home, so I’m around most of the day and can give your cat plenty of attention, playtime, and company. I’m generally flexible with boarding throughout the week. If you’d like me to help with pickup or drop-off, I’m usually available Friday through Monday and happy to coordinate a time that works for both of us. I keep a calm, clean, and cat-friendly home where they can settle in at their own pace. I always follow each cat’s usual feeding, litter, play, and sleep routine as closely as possible, and I pay attention to their body language so they never feel overwhelmed or forced to interact. My home has plenty of cozy spots to nap, play, or look out the window, and I make sure food, water, litter, and personal space are always easy to access. I’m also happy to separate cats or give them their own quiet area if they need extra time to adjust. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing.

“Viktoryia is the best!! She took great care of my cat for a week. She did daily drop ins where she spent extra time giving her lots of love and cuddles!! I will be recommending her to all my friends and she will be my go-to going forward!”

About: Currently located in Roosevelt Island and available to take nearby clients! I’ve always loved animals since young. I raised turtle, fish, rabbit … and in recent years, I’ve been enjoying at taking care of dogs and cats. So I know the effort and support pets could require. With this, I have built an acute awareness of the pets well-being and behavior, so I’m always in the radar of their health and safety. My favorite part is making owner and pet smile. Knowing that each pet varies in personality and strength, I always listen patiently to the owner need first and clearly communicate. I’m a design freelancer. So my schedule right now is very flexible and I can usually meet any time except very late night after 9PM. If you want to cancel, you, must cancel that a day ahead. I will only take care of pets at your home based on your instruction I will only stay where I’m being told at. And make sure to follow the instruction.

About: I am a dedicated pet care provider that is comfortable with any animal shape or size. I am very passionate about my job and making sure the pet Im taking care of has all of its needs, and ofcourse some slight spoilage! I started out in dog daycares and moved on to do all kinds of animal care work. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies as young at 2 months old! I am educating myself to become a dog trainer and can help provide tips when it comes to building human-canine relationships. I can also do specials needs such as insulin shots. I am also in the process of becoming a certified Animal Handler in New York State, so I can further my education in animal care. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry baby! I currently work part time once a week at a Grooming academy. So i will have plenty of time during the week to spend time with your pet! I also live with animals so I am constantly spending my time walking feeding and caring for them. I walk the dogs at least 4 times a day. Morning, mid day, evening, and late night relief. Also depending on the weather a trip to the dog park. I live in a spacious apartment with 3 cats and two dogs. I have done my best to provide a sanctuary here for my animals and any visitsors who comes across us. I have one room dedicated to the animal with cat trees and soft spaces. Water fountains (for dogs and cats) and beds for lounging. I have gates for separation during feeding times and a nice big couch everyone is welcome to lounge on!

“Renata and Marina are wonderful dog walkers! They are both friendly, punctual, and communicate clearly throughout. Most importantly, Willow, my Great Pyrenees mix, absolutely loves them. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands and will happily book them again.”

I’ll always keep a close eye on your pets, making sure that they’re safe and happy whether inside your home or going on walks outside.
