About: I work from home as a designer so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I have loved animals since I was little when I had my own dog and cat. Now I welcome your furry friend to join me on the couch or a walk, so you have the peace of mind knowing that they're taken care of. I work flexible hours from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. I am available throughout the day. I adapt to the rules and routines of any household I am welcomed into. I aim to make your pet comfortable with my presence so I can care for them.

“Shanette stayed at our house for one week with our Maltese. Took excellent care of our dog and sent updates, pictures, and videos. We felt so at ease and comfortable with our dog in her care. Worth the money for peace of mind.”

About: I bring a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, along with the patience and compassion I've developed helping care for my grandmother. Growing up with a dog of my own and being surrounded by dogs through family and friends has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. Helping care for my grandmother has strengthened my sense of responsibility, attentiveness, and empathy. I've learned the importance of noticing the little things, maintaining routines, and providing comfort and companionship. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I'll treat them with the same kindness and attention I would give my own family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, and after 1 PM on Saturdays. While I work in a pediatrics office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, I am able to check on pets before work, during my break, and again after work to ensure they receive consistent care, companionship, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take the time to learn each pet's needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medications, and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and potty breaks while ensuring they feel secure and loved. In a client's home, I respect their space and work to keep their pet's routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, safe, and caring environment where they receive supervision, companionship, and plenty of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make their time away from their family as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.

“I picked Jessica to watch my two dogs while I was away on vacation. It was their first time without family watching them, and typically I would be anxious leaving them. But they loved Jessica, and she was so attentive to their needs! She was great with communication and care. 💜”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs in my family, and have moved out and have adopted a cat on my own. I am familiar with what makes pets happy and how to take care of them. I’ve dog sat for close friends and family before and am confident I will be a great resource to count on. I’m working part time and do drive so I am comfortable commuting. It gives me more time to focus on dog and cat care! Safety and trust are prioritized when it comes to pets. Understanding what triggers pets can have and making sure that they are happy and well taken care of,

“We had River care for our senior Labrador while we were away for the weekend. She was great to work with -- conscientious in her preparations, very communicative throughout the stay giving us updates multiple times each day . She was able to accomodate all of our dog's idiosyncracies. At the end of the weekend everyone was happy! Will definitely work with River again.”

About: If you have last minute trips, or just want to go on a date night, I’m available for your pet needs. Just send me a quick note. I will work with you and your schedule. I’m currently working a full-time job, however, I can work with your schedule, I’m reliable and caring for your pets as if they were mine. I would cater to the clients' needs for their pets. I live in an apartment but have access to several dog parks in my complex.

About: Your doggos would be cared for as I would want my doggie to be cared for, thats 1000% certain. It is the golden rule I live by. I’ve had experience training puppies and sitting for them for weeks! I’d love to dog sit your doggos anytime! I’m off work this summer, so I am able to dog walk/sit anytime! That being said I would be able to work with your timelines! I make sure I get the ground rules on how the pet owner would like me to do and care for the pet. I know everyone has their own preferences on how to care and handle their pets, so I would respect and honor it. If I am in their home, I would be respectful and clean as it is their home and I would be a guest.

About: Having grown up in a household full of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and hedgehogs I possess a lifelong "animal intuition" and a deep comfort level with various species. What truly sets me apart is my hands on experience managing a multi-pet home with my own three cats, which has made me an expert in feline behavior and resource management. Whether it is providing the patient, attentive monitoring required for senior pets or the delicate handling needed for small exotic animals, I am highly adaptable to each pet's unique needs and personality. My schedule is very flexible during the latter half of the week. From Monday to Wednesday, I work as a therapist in Brooklyn. On Thursdays and Fridays, I only have two cases in Staten Island totaling about two hours, which leaves me with plenty of availability from Thursday through Sunday. Caring for animals is a deeply healing experience for me. While I am a huge dog lover, my own home is currently a cat-only household because we rescued three cats from a shelter, one of whom is extremely sensitive to dogs. To ensure her comfort, we decided not to own a dog ourselves, so pet sitting gives me a wonderful opportunity to fulfill my passion for working with dogs. My personal experience with a high-needs, sensitive rescue cat has made me exceptionally patient and skilled in handling pets with various temperaments and specific needs. My approach to pet care focuses on proactive health, hygiene, and emotional well-being. In my own home and when sitting for clients, I prioritize hydration by mixing water and specialized supplements like cranberry powder into wet food to support urinary health, and I ensure a clean environment by scooping litter and washing bowls daily. Most importantly, I understand that pets—especially cats—communicate through subtle, "high-frequency, low-impact" social cues; I provide gentle affection and verbal greetings without overstimulating them, ensuring they feel respected and safe. I treat every animal as a sentient companion, balancing structured routines with the quiet, intuitive interaction they need to thrive.

“I strongly recommend Maia, who was terrific with my dogs when I needed to travel out of town. She took wonderful care of my elderly Great Pyrenees, who has special needs, as well as his less needy sibling. She was great at communicating and let me know about a developing ear infection that she noticed, so we were able to treat that promptly. Plus, she went above and beyond in keeping the house clean. I will certainly contact her again the next time I need to travel.”

“Ceecee was amazing! She was able to accommodate us extremely last minute to home sit our senior dog. She took great care of our dog and was able to keep up with all his medications. Our apartment was in phenomenal condition when we returned. We will not hesitate to book Ceecee again.”

“Robert took great care of Jeffrey! He is a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. We booked him from out of town for a wedding and he kept in touch to confirm, showed up on time and became immediate friends with Jeffrey. He was great with communication - sending us many pictures and videos. His passion for dogs is evident, I could tell that my dog not only received necessary care but also enjoyed the company and companionship Robert provided.”

She was prompt, extremely communicative, and provided frequent updates complete with pictures and videos. When Duke became picky with his food, Rachel quickly came up with helpful solutions. It’s clear that Duke loved her, and we will definitely be using her again!”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old. I cared for my own dog for 17 wonderful years, giving me experience with every stage of a dog's life, including senior care. I currently have two cats who are turning one at the end of July, and I've also fostered a pit bull/Dachshund mix. In the past, I cared for a rabbit for 8 years and have pet sat and walked my sister's dog, my grandma's Dachshund, and cared for multiple cats and other animals. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they're part of my family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I currently work part-time as a nanny for a 6-year-old child two days a week for a few hours, and I'm also a part-time nail technician. I'm looking to fill my schedule with pet sitting and dog walking, and I have a lot of availability during both weekdays and weekends. Since my work schedule is consistent, I know my availability well in advance, making it easy to plan and accommodate bookings. I also have reliable transportation and can travel to your home if needed. Here's a professional and friendly response for the Safety, trust & environment section: I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I'll always follow your care instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I'll provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining their regular routine. I have reliable transportation, can handle pets of different sizes and personalities, and I'm happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priority.

“Malgorzata was prompt on replies and got along really well with my dog who is normally cautious around new people. While on vacation she sent many photos and updates to keep me posted on the status of Jaeger. Great communication and when I returned he was happy and healthy!”

About: Pet care isn’t just a service for me — it’s a relationship built on trust, routine, and respect for your pet’s personality. I take time to get to know each animal beyond the basics: their quirks, comforts, and communication style. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach — I read subtle behavior cues and adjust care accordingly, making even anxious or shy pets feel secure. I don't just follow instructions; I anticipate needs and treat your home and animals with the same care I’d give my own. It’s not just about keeping pets safe — it’s about keeping them happy, understood, and emotionally balanced while you’re away. I’m available for pet sitting full time, which means I can offer flexible scheduling, prompt responses, and dedicated attention to your pet’s needs — whether it's a one-time visit, daily care, or extended stays. Because this is my primary focus, I’m able to adapt to a wide range of routines, provide consistent companionship, and be there when last-minute needs arise. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, and my full-time commitment ensures they receive reliable, responsive, and attentive care every step of the way. Whether caring for pets in my home or in my client’s, I create a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, play, and rest — just like they would with family. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routines consistent and their surroundings familiar, which helps reduce stress while you're away. In both settings, I treat every pet with the same respect and affection I would give my own, ensuring they feel secure, seen, and genuinely cared for.

About: I've been caring for pets professionally for over 10 years. I'm not just a caregiver; I'm a devoted pet parent myself. My own fur babies are like my children, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love, attention, and respect. I work full time but with a very flexible schedule. I work from home & occasionally go into the city. I’m comfortable with all age groups Whether it's daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I bring patience, experience, and genuine affection to every visit. I understand how important it is to feel your pet is in good hands--and that's exactly what I strive to provide.

About: I’ve raised my own dog since he was a puppy, so I know exactly what dogs need at every stage. From early morning walks to keeping them entertained and fed, it’s just part of my daily routine. I didn’t just own a dog I grew up with him. Your dog will get the same attention and care I give mine every single day. Dogs get a morning walk around 10–10:30am, then they’re free to relax in the living room or hang out in the fenced backyard. Once it cools down in the evening I take them out again around 6–7pm. During the day they have access to the backyard for potty breaks whenever they need it. Before bed there’s one last walk around 11–11:30pm so they’re settled for the night. I have a fenced backyard so dogs can roam and play safely without any worry. I own a friendly dog myself so your pup will have a buddy to hang out with. We’re in a house so there’s plenty of space to move around and get comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the furniture I want them to feel at home, not like they’re in a strange place.
