About: Hello! My name is Laynie. I have been a pet lover for my whole life and grew up with three pit bulls that my family raised from puppies to adults. I spent my summers dog sitting my neighbor’s four small dogs while they went out of town. Since moving to New York, my friends and clients have relied on me to care for their dogs and cats. This includes visiting their homes frequently to care for their pets. Everything from taking them on walks, feeding them, making sure they’re in good company, and occasionally administering medication. The pets I have watched range in breed, age, and size – from a 15-year-old Chihuahua to a young Great Pyrenees, as well as various cats of different breeds and temperaments. There is no pet that I have not been able to provide exceptional love and care for! I am trustworthy, responsible, and more than capable of taking on any task! I currently have a very open and flexible schedule! I am fully available mornings, nights, and afternoons Monday through Sunday! Whenever you need me, I can be there! I make sure that dogs that I am looking after are fed, taken outside/on walks, and given any necessary medications at the hours they are used to. I follow instructions from pet owners about their animals carefully so that they feel comfortable and just as loved as they do by their owners!
“Sebastian took amazing care of our cat, Mars. In addition to a super straight-forward booking process with quick responses, Sebastian sent us 10+ photos of Mars each visit, which assured me that she was doing well in our absence. He also followed all of our care instructions closely, even getting Mars (who is notoriously lazy) to play with him. I will most definitely be rebooking with Sebastian!”
“Paula is great pet sitter—I highly recommend! She was so understanding and worked with me when I got my availability dates incorrect. She’s great with my cat, Zuri (who doesn’t go to everyone). I looked forward to the pictures she would send everyday when I was on vacation. She even left treats and additional toys for her!”
“Sabah was always very communicative and did a wonderful job stopping in on our cat and making sure he had what he needed! She took great pictures and made us feel at ease.”
“Joy was very communicative and punctual. When I came back home from the trip, Eli seemed very stable and relaxed. Joy made sure to stay a bit longer for some playtime. Definitely appreciated it.”
“Rey did a great job communicating during my weekend out of town. She takes great pics and is thorough with her care. I can tell she really loves animals and I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Alexandra is a terrific cat sitter! She was reliable, communicative and my very shy kitty even come out when she was there. Highly recommend booking with Alexandra!”
“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!”
“Megan was amazing again and came to my pup’s rescue when he wasn’t feeling the best. She communicated his health issues clearly with me so that I could have information for the vet visit. So thankful for her!”
About: I’m 29 years old! I’ve had 2 family dogs, one lab and one minilab back in PA. After moving to New York 10 years ago I finally made the decision in 2021 to get my own dog :) her name is Akela! She is a 5 year old Aussie 🐾 She loves the park and meeting new friends :) I have always struggled with letting anyone watch her while I’m away and that’s exactly why I take pet sitting so seriously. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. For full time work I am a cake decorator in Astoria! I enjoy baking and cooking for friends and family. I’m also a Netflix nerd! I watch about everything on there. Im a pretty active person, I am constantly taking akela out to the park and will get a quick jog in here and there. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone’s dog and giving them the best pup sitting or walking time :) Schedule wise I currently work full time Monday-Thursdays 9-5pm and Fridays I finish at noon so If you ever need a weekend get away I’m here for you! I have a one bedroom apartment , good for 2-3 dogs! Nice and cozy for lounging with them! My own dog loves to sleep in her crate so I have that for her as well.
“Lynn did a great job taking care of our senior cat, including asthma inhaler and pills with food. Our cat clearly loved her, with most of the photos and videos showing him asleep in her lap (can’t say we weren’t jealous about that, though 😂).”

Erin was wonderful, she took great care of my cat Zuko while I was gone, even though he’s a big scaredy and she never saw him when she was here. She stuck to his schedule and followed all the instructions I left, and her daily messages always reassured me that he was ok while I was gone. Highly recommend!!
I have had the pleasure of using Eugenia as my catsitter again, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is exceptionally communicative, always keeping me updated with detailed messages and photos, which gives me peace of mind while I'm away. Eugenia is incredibly trustworthy, consistently ensuring my cat's well-being following the instructions which I had left her. Her responsiveness is top-notch; she promptly addresses any questions or concerns, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive catsitter, Eugenia is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional pet care.
Patrice was able to accommodate my last-minute booking request to care for my cat while I was away, and I highly recommend her to all! Patrice was incredibly responsive and attentive. She ensured that my cat's needs were met, following the instructions I had left; making me feel at ease. I would highly recommend Patrice to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring catsitter!
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Our cat Messi was in the best hands while we were away. Every day we got thoughtful, detailed updates — not just about his food, water, and litter being cared for, but also about how much love and attention he was getting. The apartment was kept spotless, which is no small feat with cat litter around, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing Messi was being truly looked after, not just checked on. It’s rare to find someone this reliable, caring, and thorough — you can really tell they love what they do. We’d recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and will definitely book again!
