“Shelly has been checking on my doggie, few times per week on regular basis, for the past few weeks. She is very kind, caring, reliable and on time... My puppy has had some GI issues couple of times during this time and Shelly has been very caring for her. My little pooch luvs Shelly so much! she looks at the door, excited, looking for Shelly when ever I mention Shelly’s name! I’ve been feeling really at ease and peaceful, when I know she is coming to check on my doggie. Thank you very much Shelly :)”


About: I’ve owned and taken care of a diverse group of animals since the age of 12. Dogs, cats, birds, rodents, & reptiles. I am skilled in basic animal behavior and animal first aid. I’ve taken care of animals with strict diets as well as animals that require medical necessities. I am also a NYS certified first responder (EMS) that can provide basic care that is suitable for larger animals. Walking, bathing, feeding, training, medicine administering; I do it all. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur, feathered, reptilian babies. Fridays & Saturdays I work my EMS job so I am typically unavailable during those days but I can provide overnight care when needed. I live in an apartment building so there are no outside influences that can possibly disrupt your pets routine. I adhere to all pet owners preferences, i.e. crate training. I will not double book my care time to insure safety to all pets.

“Sarah takes excellent care of our senior kitty. He has a somewhat complicated food setup to keep him eating and happy and she follows all instructions. Happy we can count on her when we leave town!”


“It’s official Alessandra is officially family. Her love and care for my fur babies and home is impeccable. I absolutely love her. Very trustworthy. I would book her a million times over.”


“Angelique was amazing! She took great care of our cat while we were away, and sent a lot of pictures and updates during her drop-in visits with him. She's reliable and friendly and we'll definitely book with her again.”


About: Hello! I am so excited to get to know the lovely furry neighbors of my community! I have grown up my entire life around dogs and all types of animals. I currently have two family dogs myself I walk when I visit my childhood home, each with their own unique personality when it comes to walking, so I completely understand the key to a good walk is patience and awareness for the dogs energy. I started walking dogs from a very early age, so I have lots of experience. I promise your fur babies will have the greatest time and be in safe hands! Plus, I love taking as many photos as I can 💗 I currently work full-time but typically have mornings free, Wednesday’s and Sunday’s free. I always try and make time for dog walks and I’m very communicative about whether or not a walk time would work for me. In my home I have parks nearby and a nicely sized living room. At clients homes I’m always very respectful of the space and typically try to take the dog out for walks as much as possible if that’s their energy.

“This is my second time having Kamila check in on my cats and I was very comfortable leaving them in her care for 3 weeks. She took wonderful care of them and was a great communicator. She will be the first person I contact if I ever go on vacation again!”

“Brijae was an excellent care giver for Chelsea and Indy. I knew that she would be great with them during the meet and greet when Indy fell head over heels in love with her. Brijae was on point with details regarding their care and when an unexpected issue arose with Indy's eye, she reached out to me immediately letting me know about it and asking what she should do. During each visit, she would give an update and pictures. Everything was fine when I returned from my trip, and I have nothing but praise for the great service that she provided. I would strongly recommend her to anyone that's looking for a someone that genuinely cares about pets. I had an emergency situation arise and was truly amazed and very grateful that she took the booking on such a short notice. I would definitely use Brijae again and hope that she is available the next time I need a sitter.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was like 12. Neighbors used to go away from days me and my brother used to walk and feed them everyday. I’m currently working part time. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your puppy. I am available every weekend and weekdays after 1pm happy. I have a dog who is really friendly and will have a great time with your puppy also I had a dog since I was 5 years old. Dogs is all we need.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. For the last seven years, I’ve raised my own Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix, and being by his side has taught me so much. I’ve learned how to read his emotions—knowing when he’s nervous, excited, or just needs a little extra attention. I use that same care and intuition with every dog I meet. Whether it's feeding, walking, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe and loved. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority! I’m currently on summer break from graduate school and only work one day a week, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most weekdays and weekends—mornings, afternoons, and evenings. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow their specific instructions closely, from feeding routines to walking preferences. I treat each pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I pay attention to their body language, offer plenty of affection if they want it, and always make sure their water is fresh and their space is clean. I also send regular updates and photos so pet parents feel confident and connected while I’m with their pet.

About: Hi I’m Tyshawn, I have a lot of experience with animals. I’ve had pets since I was young and I’ve helped take care of them. I have a 13 year old Morkie named Rocky that I love so dearly. I will treat your baby with so much love and affection as if they were mine. I will take your baby out for a walk 3 times a day like I take mine. I will stick to your routine if you have one. I believe that communication is key. I follow all instructions and I will keep you updated at all times. I also have a flexible schedule during the week and weekend. I live close to parks so your baby will have space to play. Does your dog take any medicine or have any allergies? Does your dog get along with other dogs? Does your dog have behavioral problems that I need to be aware about? Does your dog get scared easily?

I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and prioritize safety and structure in my home: • Use of safety gates • Supervised play • Routine potty breaks • Close monitoring at all times My own dog keeps me attentive to detail, helping ensure all pets are safe, stimulated, and cared for like family. If your dog has specific routines or requirements, I’d love to hear them. Together, we can create an stress-free, engaging environment for your pet! I work from home, which allows me to accommodate your pet’s routine with flexibility. I can play with and care for your animal most days, unless otherwise scheduled. I am available on most weekends and weekdays. With my experience in animal behavior, I can recognize signs of discomfort, fear, or nervousness in dogs.

About: I have a genuine love for animals. I own a 3yr old mixed breed of my own names Sapphire who loves to play! I used to work in the ACC and have interned for A pet grooming business. I have an apt big enough for play time, nap time, and eating. My neighborhood is super dog friendly and welcomes all pets. I’m very hands on when it comes to walking the dogs. Some are very dog reactive and simply not paying attention to your surroundings could cause a serious accident with canine. I am fearless when it comes to thinking fast and being able to handle feral animals ( this was a huge requirement at the Animal Care Center). You won’t regret this choice, PROMISE!! I currently work 10 minutes from my home, so my routine is easily adjustable. I can easily accommodate any of my clients schedules as needed I have a huge foyer that is my dog’s living quarters. I don’t use cages but I have one handy just in case it’s needed

She knows what each of the cats likes in terms of food and attention and provides that they are accustomed to and that I have come to expect whenever I am away. Additionally, she keeps my apartment clean when she goes in, especially the litter box area, which with two cats can be kind of a crazy area. She’s the best!”
