“Angelica was so wonderful with Pig! She took such great care of our sassy old pittie and even help us start a new crate sleeping routine thanks Pig deciding she needed to sprain her ankle right before we left. She checked in with us each day and was timely in replying to any questions or texts I sent her way. She was respectful of our home and went above and beyond her responsibilities by bring in any packages/mail that was delivered and cleaned all the lickmats, kongs and toys. We look forward to booking her again.”

“I could not be more pleased with McKenna watching my Lily! She accommodated a last-minute request, and I am so grateful she was available. My Lily can be a handful at times, but she took to McKenna, relaxed, and was a very good girl. I received photos and updates while away, which put me at ease so I could fully enjoy my time away from my fur baby. McKenna is such a lovely, sweet young woman who clearly loves and knows how to care for pets. I felt great having her in my home watching over my sweet, sometimes not-so-sweet, Lily. I would contact McKenna again without hesitation. She is amazing!”

About: My friends would say my love for animals is one of my most defining features. If you look at my social media explore pages or scroll through my camera roll, it is genuinely just an endless album of adorable dogs and cats I've encountered everywhere. Animals bring me joy that I don’t think can be replicated in another way and it always makes my day whenever I just pass by one. I love wholesomeness and with that said I sincerely care about providing the best possible care, endless affection, and a safe, happy environment for every pet I have the privilege of looking after. It brings me so much unfathomable joy to do what I love most as a hobby as a job. As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule with a lot of free time on days I don't have classes. This gives me alot of time to schedule pet care into my routine! I like to be a patient and attentive caregiver, understanding that every pet has unique needs and preferences, whether it's during meal times or grooming. I'll actively monitor their environment to ensure their safety and well-being and will always reach out to you if I have any concerns.

About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant in an animal hospital, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs, I’m confident handling a wide range of personalities and medical needs. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently attend college Monday-Thursday during short morning or afternoon hours; typically in class between 8am-12pm or 2pm-6pm. I also work overnights as needed on Fridays and Saturdays (3 shifts a month). When caring for pets in your home, I follow their routine exactly to keep them comfortable and stress free. I make sure they’re safe, well-fed, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and love: just like if you were there.

“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. 💜”

“Oleg was just fantastic! He engaged easily with my puppy and took him out for long walks several times during the day. I appreciated all the exercise my pup got. He went above and beyond in my home tending to my cats which was not part of his responsibilities. He changed the cat litter, cleaned up after them and gave them snacks.”

About: I grew up in a home filled with animals, which gave me a deep understanding and love for pet care. Over the years, I’ve helped friends and family care for their pets, including dogsitting for my uncle’s dog, who experiences seizures. This experience has made me comfortable handling pets with special needs and providing attentive, compassionate care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or looking after pets with unique requirements, I treat every animal like my own. I'm currently a server at an Italian restaurant, working part-time, trying to save up money for my college tuition. My availability fluctuates, however I will always find time to care for our furry friends! I have a fenced, nicely sized yard and a quiet, small lab/border collie mixed dog to keep your pups company. I also can provide crates if needed

About: My experience with pets stems from growing around them. It was my responsibility to make sure they were upkept. This is why it feels natural for me to include them in my life. I'm currently working from home and would like some pets in the house while I work for emotional support. I treat animals very well and they naturally love my energy. I live in a safe and secure location that is pet friendly. We also have a dog park and plenty of space to take care of your pet.

“Melissa was excellent. She sent photos of my dog having fun every day. The house was in perfect condition when I returned. Melissa is a responsible, warm person. I highly recommend her.”

About: From birth, I’ve always cared for pets. I saw my first dog, Max, to the end of his life at the age of 19. Currently owning cats with my family, I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, fish, even snakes. I’ve raised kittens and puppies and though I have little experience training, I’m a fast learner and I love a challege. I work remotely, so I can stay home and enrich your furry family members. I would love to spend time with and take care of your pets. I’m great to sticking to plans and schedules, and I will do everything I can to make sure your furry friend(s) is as comfortable and happy as they can be without their person around.

Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. My career in healthcare has taught me the value of patience, attention to detail, and compassionate care, not just for people, but for every living being I encounter. I’ve worked in both hospice and diagnostic imaging environments, where I helped ease patients through some of their most vulnerable moments. That experience has shaped me into a calm, reliable, and nurturing caretaker, someone who understands the importance of safety, comfort, and trust, whether I’m supporting a person or a beloved family pet. After years of dedication to full-time work, I’ve recently shifted my focus to furthering my education through online study. This new chapter has given me the flexibility and time to return to something that has always brought me joy: caring for animals. With my schedule now wide open, I’m able to provide attentive, personalized care through house sitting, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding services. The passing of my senior rescue dog, Tony Montana, was a deeply emotional moment that reminded me just how meaningful the human-animal bond can be. In his honor, I’m now choosing to open my heart and home to help others. Whether you need peace of mind while you’re traveling or consistent, loving support for your pet while you’re away, I’m here, eager, dependable, and ready to serve with the same compassion I brought to healthcare. 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Medical Touch 🐾 Hi there!

I have a senior dog friendly cat that minds her business and stays out of everyone’s way. She has been chased by small and big dogs and never became scared or aggressive as they were simply overstimulated and were not allowed to even reach her. So besides a cat thats nowhere to be seen and is unbothered by other cats and dogs, your pet would be spoiled rotten here.

“I pre booked a house sitting with Omar and his wife because I did not have someone who was definitely going to watch my bulldog. So to be safe I booked Omar. I had a meet and greet with him and his wife and they were so exited to pleas I was very impressed by there enthusiasm. Unfortunately my pooch did not get to Jersey in time for him to watch hence why I only gave 4 stars because I was not able to get the service so was not able to judge whole process .Which was not their fault just timing . Im sure though they would of been great pet sitters from the vibe I got from them In our meeting .So will be booking with them again soon!”

“Karen was great! She was on time, kind and considerate. Excellent communicator! I felt immediately at ease leaving Luci with her. Luci took to her immediately and seemed kind of sad to see her go after we got home. Will be using her again for sure!”

Karen R.

“Taylor was amazing! Saluna felt comfortable with her right away. Taylor checked in frequently with updates/pictures, which was appreciated. There's nothing better than knowing your pet is in good hands. We will definitely use Taylor again. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve dog sit family members pets, trained my dogs to walk without a leash. I take my dog everywhere on lots of walk do daily activities with them. I am currently working part time and my part time job gives me the flexibility to be able to do this on the side. I make my own schedule which is why I decided to do this since I have a lot of experience. I am very welcoming and patience with dogs. My dog is very friendly and they will get along just fine. I will make sure your dog can feel comfortable with me first.

About: I have had a love for animals ever since I was a kid. I have a dog of my own and have taught him all sorts of tricks and basics. I enjoy trying to see if I’m able to teach other dogs as well. I have taken care of my relatives pets once in a while like their cat and dogs when they go on trips. I currently only work a part time job and take online classes so most of the time I’m available when needed to take care of pets. I will follow all necessity’s that are given and told to me and I’m a very protective person when it comes to the safety of animals.

About: Hi! I’m John — a certified dog lover, NYC DOE-vetted caretaker, and proud former dog dad to the sweetest Shih Tzu, Lola. I grew up with dogs and cared for Lola for over 10 years. I know exactly how much your pup means to you because mine was truly part of my heart. Whether I’m walking, sitting, or dropping in, I’ll treat your dog like family — with patience, love, and dependable care. I’m based in Staten Island and currently work as a substitute teacher, which means I’ve passed background checks and know how to be punctual, respectful, and trustworthy. My schedule is flexible over the summer and during weekends. Let’s chat — I’d love to meet your pup and become their new favorite human! I’m going to have full availability to work over the summer, since I work as a substitute teacher in the New York City Department of Education. I can also accommodate towards last minute bookings if needed! The neighborhood that I live in is very safe and quiet, which would be ideal for walks. Your pet would always get my full attention to their daily needs.

About: Hi, my name is Vivian and I would love to get a chance to know your pet! I absolutely love animals and dogs have a special place in my heart. I have a lot of experience in dog walking and basic pet care, as I have a dog myself. I also have experience caring for cats and have one myself as well. I can be relied on to walk, feed, and bathe your pets as needed and if your pet is on a schedule I will make sure it is followed. I would love to get to know you and your furried friend better and give your pet the care it deserves. Looking forward to meeting and getting to know both you and your pet! I am a recent college graduate student and am available to work any day of the week, especially for the summer. I would love to spend time with and to care for your furry friends! I typically walk my own dog as a part of my daily routine and I would be glad to make helping you out as another part of my daily routine. In my own home, my dog is pretty well-trained. He knows not “go” in the house, listens to basic commands, and gets along with people and other dogs well. Therefore we do not have restrictions for him in the house. However, if your dog is not allowed to go into certain areas of the house or onto certain furniture or requires to be put in their cage, I have no problem keeping them out of restricted areas and putting them in their cages before leaving if requested.
