“Five stars isn’t enough. Our cat Felix absolutely fell in love with Eryn. He was relaxed, happy, and clearly adored while we were away. We got great updates, thoughtful care, and came home to a very content boy. Truly exceptional experience — we’ll be booking again without hesitation.”

“Amy has been amazing helping out with our new puppy. Goes above and beyond. Flexible in her schedule. Very reliable and great communication. We hope to continue working with her for some time to come :)”

“Deborah was wonderful with our dog. She brought her on great walks and took the time to give her live and snuggles. Kelby clearly adored her when we got back from our trip!”

“Kaitlen was fabulous. She helped us out during a sudden emergency need we had. She went above and beyond to help take care of our dogs, keep us updated, and communicate everything. Definitely book her if you need care for your animals!”

“Kaitlyn did an excellent job with my cat. She was very communicative, always took pictures, and took care of everything I asked and more! I felt great leaving my cat in her hands!”

“I was lucky to find this wonderful family right before heading out on vacation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very start, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. They were reliable and stuck to the agreed schedule, which I truly appreciated. My dog a 5 month old Standard Poodle who’s a giant ball of mischief connected with them right away. It’s clear they have tons of experience and, most importantly, a genuine love for animals. I had originally booked someone else who canceled last minute with a silly excuse… but honestly, I’m glad it happened because it led me to the right people. They deserve all the stars. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats(only a couple) since I was a kid. My friends, family, and nanny families knew they had someone they could trust to take care of and love their fur baby like it was mine. I have lived with a dog my entire life-all rescues(Golden Retriever, Pitty Mixes, King Charles Spaniel, Rotty Mix, Lab Mixes, Great Dane…) Our current fur baby Midnight is a senior Lab Pitty mix. I have experience caring for puppies to seniors. I am comfortable giving medication, feeding, bathing, walking, cleaning up after, and transporting your dog. I have less experience with cats, but have house sat several cats-making sure to follow their feeding schedule and cleaning out their litter box. I have a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I worked with children 6 weeks to 5 years old for over 12 years. Which means I have lots of patience, love, and understanding. I have been lucky to be able to stay home with our daughter the last five years. But I am ready to make my way back into part-time work. I believes pets are our family and I will treat yours like mine. It would be a honor to help care for and love on them. I am currently a stay at home mom. My daughter is in preschool three days a week and starting kindergarten in the fall. So I have flexibility in my schedule. At the moment I am available Monday, Wednesday, & Friday 9am-12:30pm, and flexible Thursdays and weekends. I can do drop ins, hangout time, playtime, walks, and lots of snuggles and pets. At the moment I am not able to board any dogs or cats. My sweet boy was attacked in his foster home and still learning to trust other dogs again. I am comfortable come to your house to care for your pets.
About: I have been around animals all my life. Pets can become anxious when their owners leave and I will be attentive to all their needs. I'm retired and have plenty of time to enjoy your pet's presence. I love to go for walks so your pet will get plenty of exercise. I will give your pet lots of attention and exercise. I only take one dog owners pets at a time so your pet will feel special.
“I cannot recommend Wen enough. My husband and I were gone for a few days, and Wen came in twice a day to feed our 2 cats. He fed them and played with them and sent photos of them looking very content. He cleaned the litter box and he did some additional chores around the house. He even encountered an unexpected crisis and he was able to avert that without a problem. We missed them terribly, but we were comforted by the fact that Wen was taking such good care of them.”

“Audrey was amazing! She sent us great reports and pictures at the check ins and went above and beyond for us in watching the house. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our cats and house. Highly recommend! She was thoughtful and attentive.”


“Jenny is a wonderful sitter. She does drop in service for my 2 dogs. She worked through some confusion on the first day responsibly. Most importantly, my dogs feel comfortable with her.”

About: Since I was a child I have had pets in my life. I am an animal lover of all types. I have cared for fish, hamsters, gerbals, cats, dogs, even reptiles. I have helped family and friends with there pets, and have a good sense of how to undertand whatvthey need. I can bath, groom, give haircuts, and feed them if and when needed. I am willing to open my home to assist families in need. I do have a full.time job, but also have family who are all wonderful and willing to help where it is needed. I am the main care taker, I make sure to work my schedule around the best interest of the pet I am caring for. Your pet will never truly be alone. I have a fenced in yard, I have a friendly chihuahua and a playful, lovable cat.

About: Available for Park Slope Area Hi everyone! Recent grad from Pratt Institute continuing to offer dog walking and sitting. I’m in Park Slope so I prefer to serve the nearby areas. My family has had a dog for the past 16 years. We've had 3 Keeshonds. So, I really familiar with medium, furry, social dogs. I love exploring with the dogs, making sure they have a good time and if are not always going on the same route. I will not rush your dog. I treat your dog like part of the family or a friend. I'm sure your dog will look forward for their walk. I'm very attentive, like nature and try to stay away from noisy main streets as some dogs are startled by lots of traffic, and people. I am fine with young puppies who have not been completely trained yet. However, I have a limited amount of training experience. I will make sure your dog has food, water and is relaxed when the walk is over. I’m offering full-time dog walking and sitting. I prefer weekdays but am available for weekends and holidays as well! I’m also selling interesting finds in the neighborhood so I walk dogs in between selling and collecting. I’m generally in the neighborhood. I make sure the dogs are happy. I make sure there’s plenty of fresh water, food, not too many treats, play with their favorite toys. Personally, I don’t like dogs staying home all day by themselves. So, if sitting a dog, I try to walk them and then stay with them for at least an hour at a time.

Deborah went above and beyond taking care of my 3 cats while we were away. Sent daily messages and pictures and even cleaned up after the cats when it wasnt explicitly asked of her. I had peace on my trip knowing she was taking care of the cats while we were away. I would HIGHLY recommend Deborah for anyone needing animal care while away. She was quite attentive to them.

I cannot recommend Wen enough. My husband and I were gone for a few days, and Wen came in twice a day to feed our 2 cats. He fed them and played with them and sent photos of them looking very content. He cleaned the litter box and he did some additional chores around the house. He even encountered an unexpected crisis and he was able to avert that without a problem. We missed them terribly, but we were comforted by the fact that Wen was taking such good care of them.
