“Colin took great care of our 2 cats and a very playful large dog for an 8 days trip. He even went the extra mile helping us with watering plants and picking up packages delivered while we were away. He was very communicative and responsive at all times. We got pics of our pets everyday which is always reassuring and appreciated. 100% recommended. We will definitely reach out again!”
“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!”

“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!”

“Caroline is an outstanding sitter—professional, reliable and kind. She took careful care of our Max and showered him with affection. We received timely photos and video — evidence of what we saw when they met: Max loved Caroline. We absolutely will work with Caroline again!”

“Mint was a great sitter. He is extremely communicative and attentive. My dog is a senior Shiba and quite stubborn, Mint was able to manage everything fine despite this is the first time. His past day care experience definitely was helpful dealing with different types of dog personalities and situations. I will definitely be booking with Mint in the future.”

“Schirn did a wonderful job watching my puppy while I was overseas on vacation. She sent updates and photos every day, and kept her occupied with lots of activity and play. I will (hopefully) work with her again the next time we take a vacation. Thank you!!”

“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.”

“Manny was a wonderful sitter. He was attentive and responsive with Charlie Bear and left the apartment spotless. I absolutely recommend him and have already booked him for my next trip!”

“Adam is a fantastic sitter and walker - would highly recommend! Extremely communicative and responsive, and was very patient with my active dog. Adam took the time to understand my dog’s unique needs and did everything he could to make sure my dog was as happy and comfortable as possible.”

“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!”

“Ariana was so communicative, sweet and caring for our pup, Nova. We were away for a wedding and Ariana was on time the day we left, gave us updates everyday and made sure to snuggle our very cuddly dog while we were away. Our home was in great condition when we got back. We most certainly will use Ariana’s services again!”

About: Growing up, I wasn't allowed to have a dog or cat even though I desperately wanted one. Because of this I was welcomed to be part of my neighbors' dog adoption, helping pick their dog and dogsit him into old age for 15 years. I became a neighborhood dogsitter since, and now also love cats after living with one. I am a turtle mom because someone abandoned her in a laundry room, and cat aunt to my roommate's grumpy cat. I love all animals and believe they are equal to us, and I enjoy getting to learn their personalities and provide care. I am unemployed and searching for a job, so I wanted to spend some time doing this work to help others and make some money. I live with a turtle in my room and a cat so I am happy to visit clients's homes to care for animals as well as keep a dog for a couple hours in my home if they are comfortable with other animals. I am able to stay at clients' homes, and walk dogs.

“May went above & beyond to make my senior girl that has lost her hearing feel very safe. She finally come out from her kennel to be with her on her own free will. That is huge progress for Scarlett! I so appreciate all the effort May put in! Ryder my other girl also warmed up pretty quickly. We will definatly request May again!!!! Thank you so much!”


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.
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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Astoria-Long Island City is $60

McKenna did a great job with overnight care of our two cats in our apartment. She sent us pictures of our cats throughout the time we were on vacation and they looked like they were having a great time! The apartment was in great shape when we got back. We would definitely use her again!

Martine was so helpful with our little guy, who has separation anxiety and needed a “babysitter” for the morning today. She helped him feel at ease right away, and he quickly settled in with her. We appreciated that she sent us pics and an update soon after we left showing how content he was to hang out with her! Highly recommend Martine!

Ody did four nights of housesitting for our 3-year-old yellow lab, Tilly. Ody was great to work with, super responsive, and obviously very experienced. And all of the delightful photos and videos we received while traveling showed that Tilly and Ody had a really fun time together!

Bergan was incredibly communicative the entire weekend and was the perfect sitter for my shutdown foster dog, Harry. She was even able to get him out of his cage and to cuddle on the couch! I would recommend Bergan to anyone looking for a caring and responsive sitter/walker and would absolutely contact her again if she is available.

Anne was everything and more that I could have expected from my first time having an in-home dog sitter! She was so accommodating and took every possible step to make sure my dog was at ease, including coming to meet him prior to the session. She was so thorough in making sure she understood every part of his schedule, and was very kind and easygoing. Through her stay she sent me so many photos and updates, and I felt so comfortable with my dog in her hands - I could tell my dog absolutely adored her too (belly up even though it was their first day together)! Anne is extremely thoughtful, kind and professional, and I will be looking to her every time we need someone to care for our dog!

Five stars isn't enough!! I have a reactive rescue German Shepherd who is leash reactive, anxious, not the easiest dog. Finding someone I truly trust with her is no small thing. Arianna exceeded every expectation I had. From the first meet up and through my entire booking, she was communicative in a way that put my mind completely at ease. Multiple photo and video updates every single day, unprompted. I could see how relaxed and comfortable my dog was, and anyone who has a dog like mine knows that's not a given. That kind of peace of mind is genuinely priceless. What stood out most was how she handled her needs with such patience, flexibility, and genuine care. She didn't just manage her, she clearly loved her. Because of her, I was actually able to enjoy my vacation. No anxious phone checking, no guilt, which, for a rescue dog parent, is everything. I've already rebooked services. If you have a dog who needs extra care, patience, or understanding, this is who you want to book with!

Stephanie continues to be a great, communicative, and reliable sitter for Willow. It’s very clear whenever I get back that Willow has been happy and comfortable. The peace of mind from having someone that you trust like this makes taking trips much easier - can’t thank Stephanie enough! Please don’t book her when I need her!
