5. Grayson D.
About: I love hanging out with cats and dogs! I have experience with reactive cats and dogs, so I know exactly how to handle that. I used to work at a doggy day care and also was a professional dog walker in NYC while I went back to school. I am work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I create most of my own hours, so I can ensure your cat gets the love and attention they need. I will not be taking care of cats or dogs in my home, but will ensure If I am pet sitting that I treat their home with respect. I will make sure all litter boxes or any accidents are cleaned up right away.

17. Whitney P.
“Whitney has watched all 3 of my cats Dali, Prince, and Missy for up to 3 months at a time, and is a passionate and avid animal lover as well as an advocate for animal rights! Whitney has always had a special sense for animals and is able to intuitively and empathically connect to them in a deep and meaningful way. I highly recommend Whitney as a pet sitter!”
18. Josie C.
“Josie was flexible and easy to work with! I would’ve liked more communication and photos with each visit and had to ask for that, but that all boils down to my personal preference. It was easy to book and we got help quickly. Thank you Josie!”
19. Bridgette M.
“I forgot to book my walks for the week and I work 12 hour shifts, so it is imperative that my tiny guy ( who refuses to go inside on puppy pads) be taken out. Bridgette saved the day, even with such short notice. My dog also loves her. I definitely recommend her to anyone.”
20. Ryan G.
“Ryan is the best with my pets! I have a ten year old English Springer who is now finally mellowed out, but I also have a Springer who is young and full of energy! They both love Ryan and enjoy his visits. I also have a younger cat who normally couldn’t care less about visitors, but he always comes to greet Ryan when he arrives. It gives me great peace of mind to know that my pets are cared for and loved when I am not around!”
