About: I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry loved one in someone else’s care. With years of experience caring for others’ pets, I treat every animal like my own. I’m patient, intuitive, and genuinely love getting to know their unique personalities. I work from home, which means I’m around all day for walks, feedings, playtime, and spontaneous cuddle breaks. My schedule is flexible, so your pet’s needs set the pace. My home is clean, calm, and full of natural light with spacious open rooms - perfect for curious paws to explore or stretch out for a nap. I make sure every pet feels safe, seen, and part of the family. With plenty of cozy corners and dedicated time for walks or play, your pet will feel right at home.

About: I’m dependable and reliable, attention to detail is my jam and I’m comfortable walking with small and big dogs or taking care of cats, even if it takes a while to warm up to a stranger in their home/space! even the most prickly cats eventually get won over! I’m currently working part time and my schedule is flexible! I love being able to walk and get outside or stay indoors to hang out with cats and dogs! I live with a disabled cat so making sure the apartment is safe and cat-proofed is key, and when pet sitting I make sure all escape routes are secured, feeding times and walk times are kept to schedule, and that there’s always room for play time!

About: I have dog sat many small and medium sized breeds as a side hustle in college, and I used to help foster dogs socialize with city life. I work full time from home. I am free before 9am and after 5pm to take your dog out on a long walk in a park or along a waterfront. I will be able to take your dog out on a short walk from 12pm-1pm. If they need more frequent potty breaks, I have a fenced in backyard for them to use and play with. I have a fenced in backyard where they can potty and run around. There is patio furniture outside, but they were put away for wintertime. In the house, there is a sofa, a table and TV stand with a TV. Other than that, there isn’t any big furniture or decor that would fall or hurt your pup. In case of accidents in the house, I use dog safe cleaning supplies. However, I don’t have extra crates, so one will need to be provided for your dog.

“Zoe was a great Rover! She walked and checked in on my dogs twice a day while I was gone. She was always prompt and shared photos for each drop-in. Would recommend her services!”


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’ve owned 2 Golden Retrievers in the past 4 years, they are my favorite dog breed. I have a bit of an obsession with them to be honest; but i do still have love for all dogs breeds! I currently have my 3 year old best friend Golden named Milo. He is full of energy and wants to play all day long, so I am used to having my life taken over by an attention hog 😅 I recently found out he has a serious heart condition and he is on a lot of medication, so I am capable and willing to provide care to your pet if need be by administering them their own medication. It is heart breaking for me to see my pup in such a tough situation even though he shows minimal signs of pain, so I like to have him around dogs and humans to feel happy, so you can expect milo to join us on our walks from time to time (if it’s ok with you and your pet ofcourse!) Please feel free to reach out with any questions before booking some time with me 😊 Chat soon! I’m currently working from home part time, I am a project coordinator in construction so I’m pretty flexible on my days working from home. I am free in the evenings and weekends with a heads up! I have a fenced yard if your pet was to spend the day with Milo and I. I am also very vigilant of my surroundings, so your pet will not be in harms way on our walks.

“Angel has been caring for my pets for over a year. She goes above and beyond in the care she gives them, and I know they are in safe hands with her. I love the pictures she sends every day!”


“I’m so glad Sunny cared for my cats. She sent lots of pictures and I felt safe knowing they were being taken care of by her. Thank you Sunny :)”


About: Ive been around dogs since I was young. I have a 12 year old border collie back in Ireland . Have worked in NYC over the last few years with my best friend who owns his own dog-walking company. I am a musician who plays gigs around the city , my schedule has set days and set time off so should be easy to find regular times every week. I live alone in a one bedroom apartment that is one block from owls head park. I am also very close to the shore road promenade. I love sports and love exercise and I am very active. I also love animals and will make sure they are happy every time.
