“Colin took great care of our cats Charlie and Mr Mary when we were away. We had him housesit as our one cat was a rescue who had been abandoned so he gets anxiety when left too long. Both cats were happy and relaxed when we returned, and what we most appreciated was that Colin stayed at our place the majority of the time we were away )including during the day). They were never alone for long which was a huge relief for us to be able to relax and enjoy our trip. Thank you!”


“Anastasiia was great with my cat Rubin - he was comfortable immediately and sat next to her on the couch on the first day. She asked lots of questions about his routine and his needs to make sure he was comfortable. She stayed at my apt while I was away and left everything clean and tidy, too.”

“We had a great experience! Wes was very communicative, accommodating, and took great care of our dog while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and how easy he was to work with. We would absolutely book with him again!”

“MintZhet did a wonderful job for us when our regular sitter was out of town. Kind, professional, communicative. Very glad to have met you, MintZhet! Thanks again.”

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.
“Schirn stayed at my home to watch my cat Pip while I was away. This is the second time Schirn has stayed with Pip. I highly recommend Schirn, she is great on communication with messages and photos of Pip who clearly was very comfortable being cared for by her.”


“Michelle was fantastic with our sweet/complicated rescue. She gave her a puzzle toy to keep her occupied and Patti even hung out in the same room instead of hiding which is a first for a new person!”


“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 !”

“Razan was wonderful with Scooby. She has such a calm and gentle energy, which was so good for him. He felt very comfortable with her, and I could tell he was in great hands. Will absolutely book her again 😊”

“Loved having Miguel over to dog-sit Missy. Very clear and prompt communication, punctual, frequent updates during the day, and a genuine interest in understanding Missy's routine and keeping her on it as if we were home ourselves. Open and friendly, it was easy to trust him at our home. Missy is not yet accustomed to being alone, and Miguel was very understanding when we explained. He even came prepared with food for the day so that he wouldn't have to leave her to step out! Would definitely book with Miguel again!”

“Abdelkader was excellent! He was communicative and followed all the directives that I left for him. To be honest, I don’t plan on using anyone else for my cat sitting services if I can avoid it. He’s just that good! I look forward to booking his services again!”

“Finn had a great time with Kevin over the holidays. Only a couple of photos over the stay, but Kevin gave me the confidence that all was well and made sure to reach out for clarification with any questions. My return flights got messed up and Kevin was gracious enough to extend!”

“We can't say enough nice things about how thrilled we are with Daniel! Attentive, kind, caring, detail oriented, and clearly an animal person. We are already in talks for our next trip and he will be our first ask to spend our time away with Jolie.”

“Yeisha did a great job with my four fur babies! I gave detailed instructions for feeding plus medications and supplements and treats which she followed to the 't'. The dogs loved her and I appreciated the daily pics ~ I would definitely use her again.”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for taking care of animals. My 7 years of experience raising my dog and dog-sitting for friends and neighbors, I have gained the necessary discipline and compassion to care for your dog successfully! I started dogsitting when I was a student but now while working in corporate I still like to care for pets when I can. Just let me know ahead of time and I will do my best to accommodate! I will make sure your dog gains my trust and feels safe around me by providing them a quiet home with no other pets. Addtionally, daily play time is incorporated into the day to make sure your dog is able to have fun and let the energy out!
“Jenny is great with puppy! She made my pup feels safe and able to follow her sleeping schedule which I’d important for puppy. Will definitely work with her again.”

“CK was great with our two adorable, but anxious pups while we were away. He took lots of pictures and sent us updates. Would highly recommend and would book again!”

Highly recommend Julija!! She spent the week in my apartment and left it immaculate. I had zero concerns that she would take great care of my 4 month old kitten, Binx! She sent me tons of photos and texts during the visit, which really put me at ease since it was my first time leaving Binx for so long. It’s clear that Julija really cares and I would absolutely recommend her for anyone. Expect lots of cuddles and playtime for your pets with Julija - she took such good care of my fur baby!!

The absolute best dog/cat sitter we have ever had. We got recieved updates of our fur babies all day long along with photos. He took our pup on plenty of walks, and made sure our cat had fun toys to play with. Then we get home and he helped our entire kitchen out! I can't thank Jason enough. Fully recommend! I'm already requesting more days.

Linda is the best! She stayed overnight with our 6 year old cat Biscuit for 10 days and followed all of our instructions to a T. She sent amazing photos the whole time and you could see Biscuit was really thriving and having a great time. Very responsive, thoughtful, and responsible. Would definitely book her again!

Julia was great! Super responsive and on time. This was a bit of a last-minute ask and she was totally flexible about making it work, which we really appreciated. Our dog was a little unsure of her at first (as she can be with new people) but warmed right up and was clearly well taken care of for an overnight stay. We highly recommend Julia and will be using her services again.

Kris was absolutely amazing while sittingWinston for the weekend! My dog is very nervous and was recently diagnosed with diabetes so I was a wreck to leave him alone for the weekend but Kris understood. She took great care of Winston and gave him his twice daily insulin shots with no issues. I will definitely ask her to take care of him again!

Anne Marie was wonderful with Goose, our 15½-year-old Maltese, and we felt completely comfortable having her stay overnight with her. Goose has a detailed routine at this age, and she carefully followed everything we had written in our “Goose manual.” She gave her medications and eye drops correctly, took her out regularly, and remained attentive to her throughout the entire stay. Goose also seemed very comfortable eating with her, which was especially reassuring to us. We truly appreciated how thoughtfully and responsibly she handled all the details involved in caring for an older dog. She was patient, dependable, and genuinely attentive to Goose’s needs. We will have her watch Goose again very soon and recommend her after this first experience.

Vivian was fantastic watching my dog while house sitting. My dog has a lot of social difficulties and is not the easiest to take care of, but she expertly handled everything in such a way that me feel at ease while I was away. She provided enough updates (including pictures) so that I knew that my dog was not only cared for, but that he was very happy happy and healthy. Vivian was also an excellent caretaker of my apartment. She watered plants as necessary, and most importantly. When she left it was cleaner than I had even left it. All in all, Vivian went above and beyond to make sure that I enjoyed my time away from home without a single worry for my dog or my apartment. I can't recommend her enough!

As always, Stephen was an amazing sitter for Una and for the house while we were away. He was communicative, responsive, and sent lots of cute pics to help us not miss our little Una too much. Stephen’s the best there is, and we’re always so grateful for his kind, thoughtful approach. We’ll definitely rebook in the future!

We love Lauren - this was our third or fourth time having her stay at our place. Her communication is fantastic, she takes great care of our anxious young dog, our senior dog and our attention seeking cat, and she’s super clean and respectful of our home as well. Highly recommended!
