“Ivy did a wonderful job at caring for our puppy, Kuma, while we were away! Ivy was very attentive to our puppy and asked great questions before to get a good sense of his needs. I really enjoyed getting pictures of Kuma throughout his time with Ivy. I have a very anxious dog and Ivy was super patient with Kuma until he warmed up to her. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!!”
“Jennifer is a great cat & house sitter! She took care of my elderly cat who requires epilepsy meds 3x a day. She provided daily updates and cute photos. And she was also very patient with our new home (we just moved and discovered that it floods when it rains, which it did when we were away). Thank you!”
“So grateful to have Brenda to spend time with my shy (and new to me) rescue dog. She was very communicative and compassionate towards the situation. Highly recommend :)”
“Josefa took such good care of our two dogs and our home while we were away on vacation. She provided daily updates. She was great with the dogs and it allowed us to have a peace of mind that they were in excellent hands while we were away. We definitely recommend (and will work with her again!)”
“Erin was amazing. She was on time and attentive when we reviewed instructions and preferences for our dog. Winnie was thrilled to spend time with her! We would def use Erin again.”
“Celine is amazing! She has such a warm, kind energy that both me and my pup could feel instantly. She sent tons of picture and updates and just generally seemed so happy to be doing this work!! Highly recommend, she’s a dream.”
“We loved having Jaidi stay with Ozzy! Jaidi's energy was so calm and loving, I know Ozzy felt very safe while we were out. We'd definitely have Jaidi stay with him again if we weren't moving out of state!”
“Elias is the best! He took amazing care of our 60lb poodle mix while we were out of town for the weekend. He updated us multiple times a day with a ton of pictures and feedback and handled our pups reactivity like a champ. From both the pictures Elias sent, along with his demeanor when we got home, it was clear Knox had a great time with Elias.”
“Eliza took good care of our two dogs who both have separation anxiety. She communicated well with us, asked good questions, and sent us updates. We would work with her again!”
About: HI! Thanks for considering me to take care of your pet while you're away. I've always loved animals and have been lucky enough to care for many in my adult life. I'm returning to the platform after a 3 year hiatus after the recent loss of my cat. I have an abundance of love remaining and would love to direct it to as many pets as possible. A few details before booking - I am an MTA commuter, so there is only so far I can go at the moment. - I work in-office Monday thru Wednesday and remotely Thursday thru Saturday. I'm pretty flexible, but for in office days walks and drop-in visits would be early mornings and after 5pm. - Due to my shared living space, I am unable to offer boarding at the moment. - Please share as many details as possible about your pet! I want them to feel as happy and comfortable as I am able to make them while you're away Other than that, we can iron out any details once a request is sent! I look forward to meeting you and your furry loved ones :) I currently work 9 am - 5pm in office Mondays thru Wednesday and remotely the remainder of the week. I am allowed flexibility at my job so if needed I can make adjustment, but I need at least 2 weeks notice to move stuff around. I am very respectful of my clients' homes and abide by the standards and protocols they set. I want to make their pet as happy and comfy while they're away.
“Liz (and Lukas) were very communicative and great to work with. Liz watched Bergen and was great introducing herself to Bergen and making her feel comfortable with her. She sent several pictures throughout, and would definitely book again.”
“Paulina was great. She sent wonderful updates and photos of our pup. We never had to check in because we knew he was in such great hands! We are so happy to have booked her!”
About: I have always loved dogs. I sentimentally collect and keep pictures of dogs I cared for. I am located in Bayridge and looking to expand my pack. I have 6 years of experience walking and caring for dogs. I am very sensitive to dogs' needs and moods. If you choose me to take care of your furry friend, I guarantee love, care and hugs. I have a flexible schedule. I am currently available on weekdays and on weekends except for the dates when I am booked by my other clients/dog owners. I always follow instructions given to me by dog owners to ensure dog's comfort and safety. I understand the importance of a dog's schedule and diet.
“Jennifer did a fantastic job looking after our 2 dogs for a few days. She took excellent care of them and was very communicative, sending us lots of updates and photos throughout her stay. And she went the extra mile to keep our home tidy during her stay. We are thrilled to have found her and will definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 20 years, including puppies and seniors. My friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like family. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable home where pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. I work part-time during the week, but I’m fully available on weekends to give your pup round-the-clock care and attention. On weekdays, I’m available after 2 PM for boarding, walks, and playtime. Your dog will enjoy a loving, relaxed environment and plenty of affection throughout their stay. I create a warm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and happy. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and regular feeding according to each pet’s schedule. I offer walks tailored to the dog’s needs and routine, making sure they get the right amount of exercise and fresh air. Fresh water is always available, and I give lots of cuddles and care, just like they’re part of my family.
“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter for our two cats. She is communicative and caring. She even created a cat toy contraption for my girls to play with while I was gone, amazing! I will definitely be contacting her again anytime I need someone to watch my fur babies.”
About: I'm a cat sitter with tons of experience helping stressed-out cats settle in after a move. No matter what the cat is, I can connect with them. Whether they’re super independent and like their space or total lovebugs who want all the cuddles and playtime — I vibe with all kinds of cat personalities. I work from home, so I’m around most of the time and can easily keep an eye on my little visitor, take care of his needs, and give him attention whenever he needs it. I don’t have any pets right now, but I want to. I live on the third floor in a spacious apartment with secure, mesh-covered windows — totally safe for cats.
About: I take my dog to the Tompkin square park dog run 3 times a day. I've become familiar with everyone who goes there. I used to like 1 block away from the dog run. I became very good at training dogs in a very short period of time. Since I go to the dog run so often, I became very comfortable in front of dogs who are stranger to me. I'm sure if I start doing dog sitting. I will run into the same dogs that I used to run into at Thompkin square park in East village. Their owners love me too because I go there all the time. I work near 23st now. And my work is very still, meaning sitting down. I would often go on long bike rides or walks in Manhattan right after my work. And I thought since I'm so good with dogs I should make money from it. I will treat them as if they are my own pets. I will take the client's request to great considerations. I love dog walking so there should be no problem with going out with me. Definitely handling client home in a professional manner and prioritizing walking their dogs instead of petting them or playing with them first.
