“This was our first time having Razan watch our cat, and she was fantastic! She is proactive, considerate, and highly communicative. I especially appreciated that she took the time to meet our cat beforehand to learn how to administer his asthma inhaler. While we were away, she was attentive to all his needs and sent daily photos and updates. We returned to a clean and tidy apartment. Thank you so much, Razan!”
About: I have lived with and taken care of cats and dogs since I was 9. I helped train my first dog back in 2005 and grew a love for pet caretaking ever since. I helped my dog learn how to follow commands like sit and stay. I regularly walked my dog and fed her on schedule, as well as bring her to the field to run around and to the beach for a swim. I have helped care for my friends' dogs as well, including taking them on morning walks, feeding, vet visits, beach trips, and baths. I also took care of my cat when I was young and currently care for my brother's cat when he is away. I work in a hybrid role that is mostly remote, so I always have the flexibility to be available for your pet's care. I typically go into the Manhattan office on Wednesdays, but can be available on Wednesday nights. Every other day is flexible. I will follow all directions provided by the owner regarding walking, feeding and whatever other services are needed. I will certainly clean up after your pet(s) on walks and make sure they have plenty of water, as well as keep them safe and to leave the house or apartment spotless.
“Lenin did a wonderful job pet sitting our dog. We have a large dog who is shy and Lenin did an amazing job with him. He is professional and responsible with great communication. He took excellent care of our dog and home.”
“May has helped me with Ziba (my cat) a few times now! Both drop in and house sitting and she has been great. Very communicative, very clean and respectful of my home, and Ziba really likes her! Would highly recommend her!”
“DP is the best! Truly amazing. He took the best care of my pups while I was away. Not only that, he really went above and beyond to make sure they were ok at all times of the day. I couldn’t recommend him enough!”
“Schirn is great. My dog loved her immediately and our guest dog did too. Mine can be very anxious but no issues at all. Good communication and I felt very comfortable leaving the dogs with Schirn.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Eleni! She took care of my cat, Mira, during Thanksgiving week and went absolutely above and beyond in every way. She came by for a few hours each day and spent real, quality time with Mira—playing with her, feeding her dinner, and genuinely keeping her company instead of just doing quick check-ins. Eleni’s communication was exceptional. She sent a text every time she arrived and left, along with thorough updates and the sweetest photos that completely reassured me while I was away. Her responses were always quick, thoughtful, and detailed, which made such a difference. I felt incredibly comfortable having her in my home and fully trusted her from day one. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Mira was not only being cared for, but truly loved while I was away. Eleni is kind, reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural gift with animals. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat, which says everything. If you’re considering booking with her—do it. I would 100% trust her with Mira again and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter. Thank you, Eleni, for taking such amazing care of my girl!”
“Manny is the best! Zorro loves hanging out with him. And he was really helpful and flexible when our housekeeper stopped by at the same time Manny was over. He also took the most beautiful picture of Zorro that is frame-worthy.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, whether it be for a neighbor, friend, or family. I grew up having dogs, cats, and guinea pigs, which has helped me understand the need for a caring and loving caretaker. I have walked dogs, fed animals, and always showed animals the love and safety they deserve. I would love to be a dog walker and take care of your pet, just like I take care of my students. I’m currently a teacher in NYC Public Schools, so I am available all of July and August for summer vacation. I will have plenty of time to play with your pups, feed them, and regularly go for walks. I live on my own in an apartment and have made sure it is a safe environment for pups and cats to roam around in. As someone who grew up with animals, I understand the importance of making sure a home is safe for all pets, meaning no food on the floor and making sure doors and windows are locked.
“I can't say enough great things about Annie, who absolutely saved the day when another sitter bailed on us. She was a fantastic with Tilly — she went out of her way to understand Tilly's needs and routines as well as her personality, and sent us really wonderful pictures of their walks as well as updates on their daily adventures together. I can tell that Tilly genuinely had a great time while we were away. On top of that, Annie was also incredibly respectful of our home and our space. I'm so glad that we could connect with her!”
“Fatima did another amazing job taking care of my two kitties while I was out of town for two weeks! She is always super responsive and sends me lots of adorable pictures, making sure to keep me updated every day 😊”
“David is a great sitter! Very gentle and thorough with our senior dog, who can be prone to accidents. Communicative with updates and proactive about potential issues. Would definitely hire David again!”
“Emily was fantastic. She was prompt and reliable, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She kept me updated with great photos throughout, and it was clear Nova was happy and well cared for. Most importantly, she followed all instructions closely and made the whole experience seamless.”
“Sarah was great! Very communicative and prompt with the time frame we needed her to watch Gyro. We will absolutely have Sarah watch gyro again! I definitely recommend having her care for your dog.”
“Karina was amazing. She was so patient with my boys and gave them so much love and attention. She kept them on their schedules, made sure one got his medicine every day and sent me so many photos and videos. My dogs loved her and she was great with them. Very thankful for her!”

Anna did a great job watching our Sky! She was communicative, friendly, and kept us updated throughout the stay. We could tell Sky was comfortable, happy, and well cared for with her. We’d definitely love to have Anna watch Sky again and would recommend her to others looking for a reliable sitter!
Kayla was amazing! Not only did she take fantastic care of our pup and did he have a great time, she also helped in a huge way when we had apartment issues while on vacation. It would have led to so much damage if she wasn’t there! Both on the pet and apartment front, Kayla was super responsive and communicated the whole. Will definitely have Kayla watch our boy again!
Yuliia is the first person outside our family we've ever trusted with our dogs. We’re that neurotic. We have four large dogs, each with a distinct personality, a specific diet, and a list of medications — ear drops, eye drops, and pills at both breakfast and dinner. They’re rambunctious, playful, and, if I’m being honest, a bit needy. Overwhelming, some might say. But Yuliia not only took it in stride, she loved them like her own. Throughout the day she sent videos of the dogs gobbling their meals, eagerly taking their meds, chasing balls, cuddling up for petting sessions, and sleeping blissfully. Her texts were so clever and entertaining, we've saved every one. Yuliia is knowledgeable, professional, warm, and kind. We can't wait to go away again (and our dogs are already begging us to leave)!
Riouja arrived before time - she was very communicative, sent hourly updates with pictures , took chia to the groomer and back , was loving and kind to our dog. We would not hesitate to hire her again recommend her highly. She’s a dog lover and our dog loved her !
Jessica is the absolute sweetest and took such great care of Oliver. We really appreciated her updates through the sitting and could tell Ollie was happy and well cared for. She was gracious when we had a last minute change in our travel plans. She also left the apartment in great shape. Would highly recommend to everyone!!
Desiree is the best rover!! She’s very communicative and proactive. She took the best care of my cat- he is a big fan of hers now. Desiree was very good with following instructions and also managing any last minute changes that came up. I felt very at ease and comfortable knowing that my baby is in good hands. Would highly recommend!
Arianna was amazing with my sister and I’s two cats! We were very nervous leaving them for the first time in our new apartment, but Arianna was the best person to look after them! She kept us updated every day with new pictures, and when we got home the apartment was clean and tidy! And most importantly our two boys were settled and content!! Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Sarah and Kenneth did an amazing job taking care of our dog over the weekend. They were timely, attentive, communicated well & provided updates throughout the weekend which we greatly appreciated. Highly recommend and we will definitely plan to book with them again!!!
Cat was 10/10 dog sitting for our sweet shelter pup. She is professional, kind, detail oriented, communicative and has such great knowledge of dogs! She was patient with our pup who is still learning all about boundaries, commands, and appropriate play and we know Toffee had the best weekend ever. I could not recommend Cat enough (although part of me doesn’t want to as i dont want her schedule filling up!)
Grace was so nice and friendly and very helpful to my wife's and I needs for a sitter at our weekend evening. Much appreciated the flexibility when our train was delayed and came home later than anticipated. She took care of our pup and provided frequent updates. She was super responsive and respectful. Would recommend!
