About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. From playful puppies to senior pets, I’ve experienced it all and love the unique personality each animal brings. Whether it’s daily walks, or quiet companionship, I’m here to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. As a senior in college home for the summer I have a super flexible schedule as well! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine—I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times, except for Tuesday nights. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening check-ins, I can adjust to meet your pet’s needs. I love incorporating pet care into my day—it’s the best part of my routine! I ensure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, walking, medication, or just giving them some love and attention. I treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, secure, and just the way I found them. I also make sure to keep an eye out for anything unusual in your pet’s behavior or environment and will always keep you updated. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I always have my phone on me to ensure communication is top priority as well.

“Wonderful assistance with pilling my cat. Demonstrated a way to help with ensuring medication was taken properly. Extremely helpful, calm and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Christina . She is a local - my kitty was relaxed from the medication she received. A load off my mind!”


“Hana did a terrific job sitting our senior cat Isis over the holidays. From my first conversation with Hana, I could tell she was going to be great -- she asked questions, wanted to know all about our cat's needs, and agreed to come by the apartment so she'd be acquainted with everything. When we got back, I could tell that Isis had been taken care of really well. Also, Hana was extremely tidy around the house (everything looked spotless), which made it easy to settle back in after being out of town. If you need someone to care for your dog or cat, I heartily recommend Hana!”


About: Hi! I’m Mike! I live in Long Beach. I work in the city 3 days a week, but I can choose which days I go in. So, I can be flexible! A little about my background: I was a volunteer dog walker at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter in Wantagh, NY for about 3 years. I would routinely walk strong dogs with a lot of energy and was involved in training them to walk better on leash. During the pandemic, while working from home full time, I became my neighbors dog walker for their Husky and 2 Chihuahuas because why not!! I walked them at least twice a day every day for almost 2 years. I don’t have a ton of experience taking care of cats, but I have friends and family that have cats. I’d be more than willing to help take care of your cats as well! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work in the city 3 days per week, but I can choose which days those will be. So, I can be flexible. If for whatever reason, you need to cancel, just let me know at least 1-2 days before. Thank you! I provide dog sitting, dog walking, dog boarding, cat sitting, and cat boarding services. Whatever you need and however much you need, I am willing to give! Looking forward to meeting you and your pet!

About: I love and respect animals, especially my own. Growing up my family always had animals around, whether they were ours, rescues, or strays. I have a passion for learning and understanding all animals (courtesy of my mom and late grandmother). I have experience with many animals so rest assured your baby(ies) will be in good hands. My baby, Simba (dog), passed away two years in July at 12 yrs old and my heart aches every single day... I do not see myself adopting another anytime soon so taking care of your pet(s) would be the highlight of my day(s)! I work from home, I live on the beach and I don't go out socially much because I'm focused on grad school and work and I workout in my home-gym so your pet will be with me at least 85% of the day. I will love and care for your pet like my own (royal treatment) — if you ask me to keep up with any training you have going for them, then I will respect that. You trusting me with your pet is a great responsibility, and I will make sure your baby(ies) is/are as comfortable as they can be while in my care. Rest assured, your home will be respected as will your privacy.

“Becky looked after my cat Klover on Christmas and was nothing but kind, sweet and attentive. Typical cat behavior, Klover doesn’t usually greet people but was out and about when Becky was there. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!”


About: I’ve had my own dog for 11 years and I have been a in-home pet sitter for the past five years for a medium size dog who had special needs as a puppy. I also am a pet photographer and have done pet portraits and holiday cards! I am available on a part time basis with more availability during the summer months. Weekends are ideal but I can be available after 5pm on weekdays or early morning. I live in a pet friendly apartment building, in a dog friendly neighborhood! My apartment is in the smaller side but dog and cat safe!

About: I've had cats for 20 years. Cat mom to my 5 year old cat, Kona and am a dog aunt to two adorable energetic pups. I, myself, have a lot of energy to run around with a dog outside or take them on long walks. Animals feel very comfortable around me. I have a human toddler who also has a lot of energy I enjoy playing with and chasing after. I work from home and have a flexible job so it's easy enough for me to pop in and take breaks during the week. I also have time in the mornings and evenings before and after work. I have a dog and cat-friendly home. A gate for my human toddler also doubles as a doggy gate. My cat Kona is very friendly and not aggressive to other animals.

About: Love all pets and know they are family members that deserve the best care and that is what I am able to provide. No pets in my home. I work a full time job but it is flexible with days off and time off so I can make it work based on the needs of the situation! Pets are family, so I treat all animals the way I would treat my friends or my family, just a loving lady who wants vacations away from pets family to be as minimally impacting as possible!

“Ariana was an absolute gem of a cat sitter! From the moment we connected, she was attentive, responsive, and incredibly kind to our cats. It’s clear she has experience with animals—she understood their needs, respected their routines, and gave them genuine affection and care. When our travel plans unexpectedly changed, Ariana didn’t hesitate to step in and extend her time with them. Her flexibility and reliability gave us real peace of mind. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Ariana to anyone looking for someone who truly loves and understands animals!”

Brigette C.
“I am writing this memo on behalf of Brigette Cruz as a supplement to her application as a pet caregiver in your organization. I have known Brigette for some time now and have had the privilege to work with her in the Office of Undergraduate Admission here at Hofstra University. Brigette is very capable of managing many diverse situations, able to lead others to perform to their best ability, and is considerate towards everyone. From an ethical and work perspective, Brigette's skills are second to none. As a member of the Admissions team, Brigette has handled her responsibilities towards her students with courtesy and professionalism. Brigette is a very personal individual and is kind and giving to all those around her. Brigette has an innate sensitivity for the people and environment around her this is especially true in her love for animals. I have seen first hand her interaction here in the office with our pet therapy dog Mack, as well as her own adorable pet dog Zoe, the love and devotion she shows Zoe is exemplary. I endorse Brigette's professional goal as a pet caregiver and I am confident that she possesses the love, professionalism and dedication to achieve this. I believe she will stand out as a particularly loving, responsible and conscientious caregiver who will enhance your program greatly.
