“Michelle did an excellent job, even finding Miss Molly in her hiding place! Miss Molly and I look forward to working with Michelle again! Thank you!”


“She has been doing an excellent job keeping me informed every day and sending me pictures I highly recommend amber and will be using her in the future”



“Wonderful! Thank you so much! I was hesitant to use an app to take care of Heidi but I couldn't have asked for better care. I (and Heidi) look forward to future visits. Thanks!”


“Staff was a fantastic sitter and took great care of our two sphinx cats while we were on vacation. She kept in continual contact, administered medications when they were required, and spent extra time with our cats. It is clear that Steff enjoys the company of pets. She was punctual and went the extra mile when our plans were changed at short notice and beyond our control. We cannot recommend Steff highly enough.”


About: I have been caring for a large variety of animals since I was 13, including dogs, cats, reptiles and small mammals. I have worked in various pet care positions including wildlife rehabilitation, animal educator, and pet care specialist. I have done volunteer work with local shelters and rehabilitation centers since I could work. I am known within my community as the "animal girl" and am frequently contacted for advice, care, and pet sitting. I am fairly new to this app, but am definitely not new to caring for any kind of animal big or small. I currently work at Stony Brook University mon-fri 9am-1pm. The rest of my days are usually open and able to be moved around to your schedule and needs! I currently do not offer services in my home as I have a dog who takes a while to warm up to strangers. Future opportunities may be available, but right now I am prioritizing her comfortability.

“I had the absolute best experience with Lindsay K. and can't recommend her enough to anyone who needs pet sitting services! She took care of my two cats for a week while I was in the process of moving, and from the very start (booking on the app) she made everything so easy and completely stress-free. She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and accommodating with scheduling - which I really appreciated while things were a little hectic on my end. She sent me at least three updates a day, complete with photos and little notes about how they were doing, what they were up to, and how they were eating and behaving. It was so reassuring and honestly a huge relief to know they were being so well looked after. One of my cats acts like she owns the place (any place) and the other is pretty shy and takes a while to warm up to new people. Lindsay easily accommodated their individual personality preferences and silly sibling dynamic so that both cats were clearly getting lots of love and attention every day. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with my scaredy cat that he warmed up quickly and was comfortable and happy in her care. It’s not easy to find someone like Lindsay who is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely thoughtful and caring when it comes to bonding with pets. I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in her care, and was happy to bring home two very content and well-cared-for kitties. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, look no further — she’s the best! 100/10 stars and would 100% book again the next time I need a cat sitter!”


“Great with our pups!”


About: I have a lot of experience with dogs and only a few with cats but i love both and i am very excited to spend some time with your pets! Available all business days before 10am and after 2:30! If you have something outside of that, let me know and I can try and figure something out! I typically can’t care for pets in my home because I dorm at Eastern University, but in your home, my priority would be the animals well being and also your homes cleanliness.

About: I work with dogs at a kennel and walk dogs everyday that I’m there. I am determined and hard working as well. I want to make sure you and your dog are happy. I’ve been working at a dog kennel for almost 2 years, and I have a lot of experience with walking dogs. I’m working full time at the kennel currently, and I walk a lot of dogs throughout each day. Dog walking has became something that is a part of my daily routine. I have a lot of pets at home, and I work with dogs as well. I know how to properly walk a dog to make sure they are safe.

“This was the third time Sha-Niyah has done drop in visits for my cat Stella and she always does a great job. This time she was even able to drop in last minute when I had a cancelled flight. I would definitely recommend her!”


About: I have taken care of pets since I was 5 years old. That includes dogs, cats, lizards, snakes. I love them all. They love me. I can cover most days and evening needs. I have the needed transportation to meet your needs. I am ready to help you any way I can. I can care for your pets needs in your home or my apartment. I am flexible in doing whatever is required to meet your needs

“Sarah was great at stopping by and caring for my two cats. I almost think to good, my cats didn't seem to miss me when I got back. Sarah sent photos and spent time with them so they didn't feel neglected. Sarah also went above and beyond by shoveling snow! It snowed while I was away and Sarah cleared the walk way and some of the driveway. Plus she also let the cats have some outdoor time in the snow (they are indoor/outdoor cats so it was good that they got some outdoor time while I was away so things seemed normal).”


About: I have been caring for animals most of my life, starting with the family cat I grew up with and the two dogs I helped raise and care for over 6 years. In addition to my own pets, I have years of experience pet sitting for my neighbors, which often included me caring for their dogs for weeks at a time and overnight stays. In college, I co-adopted an ESA cat, and now post graduate am helping care for a high energy puppy and lower energy cat. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or both, I’d love to help give your pet the same affection and attention I’d give my own! I currently work anywhere between 20-30 hours a week, and my schedule changes from week to week so it is a bit hard to dictate a set availability. The hours i typically work range from anywhere between 9am-10pm, and my shifts are typically anywhere between 2-8 hours. I would love to take up pet sitting on my time away from work, both on my days off and before/after my shifts! WORK SCHEDULE: Monday 07/21: OFF Tuesday 07/22: 4:00pm-8:00pm Wednesday 07/23: OFF Thursday 07/24: OFF Friday 07/25: 9:30am-1:30pm Saturday 07/26: OFF Sunday 07/27: 11:00am-8:00pm While caring for pets in my client’s home, I will focus on maintaining their routine while ensuring all needs are met. I follow instructions carefully, be it feeding times, walking schedules/routes, medication management, or any special quirks your pet may have. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them the attention they’re used to, whether that’s quiet companionship or active playtime. I can also keep you updated with messages, photos, and videos!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was twelve. My family and I have two beautiful dogs. I take care of everything they need. Also, I worked in a veterinary clinic so I have experience with grooming, bathing handling difficult animals, administering medication and whatever needs that your dog might have. You just have to tell me and I will take care of it. I’m currently working a part time job and I’m enrolling in college. I am available for dog walks or visits between 10:30 am and 2:00 pm. If you need a boarding care I am available Friday nights, Saturday and Sunday all day. My backyard it is not completely fenced but you don’t have to worry because near to the house there’s a park where I can take you lovely dogs for walks. On the other hand, if you need me to take care of your dog in your house please let me know your instructions and your dogs preference or routine and I will do it.

About: All my life, I’ve always been surrounded by animals. I knew since I was a child that I wanted to have a career caring for animals. Right now I am taking college level courses for animal behavior, which allow me to have all the required information to know how to care for and treat your pet with the love and attention it deserves. I’ve learned pet nutrition, care and handling to ensure all pets, and their owners, are satisfied and happy. I’ll treat your four legged family member as if it is my own pet. Nothing is more important to me than the safety and happiness of animals. I accommodate to the personality your animals has. Most pets love me as well; I guess I just radiate “animal lover”! Currently I’m a dog groomer with health restrictions; I’ve been spending more time at home and would love to use my time to meet and care for more furry babies. Unfortunately I can’t house sit in my home. However I have years of experience dog sitting, cat sitting, even guinea pig (11 of them!) sitting in clients homes. I am experienced in cleaning after different pets. I am a very quick learner and my priority is to ensure your pet and home is safe and clean

About: I’ve been dogsitting since I was 15, now I’m 22. I have a lot of experience and have watched and walked many dogs. I love all animals, currently I have two doggys of my own. I’m currently a student but I am off for the summer so I have plenty of time to take care of all your loving pets! When I dogsit I always stay over at the owners house, this ensures the dog is most comfortable in their home environment. I make sure to always keep doors locked & leave the houses in cleaner condition than I arrived in.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and even birds since i was a teen. Iv have experience administering medications and other special needs pets require. I am a part time student with lots of free time to check in on pets to admin meds or even go on walks and play. I an very easy going and can adhere go whatever perameters for comfort and joy with your pet(s). Please indicate special instructions if they're needed.

About: I don't know life without dogs - I've grown up with multiple dogs at a time - huskies, labs, a boxer, and now a beagle. I have dog-sat for pups of all sizes, energy-levels, and clinginess. My beagle was the most stubborn boy and after extensive training, I am confident that I can adapt to the needs of any pup who may require extra guidance & a need to maintain a routine and comfort. 2025 Update: I've had to return to the office full-time, and so my services are limited at the moment. I am available on weekends and most holidays for in-home sitting or dog-walking. Dogs are allowed on the couch. I have safety gates to prevent pets from being in the kitchen during cooking or eating (to maintain boundaries and prevent food-driven conflict with one another). Dogs are allowed to sleep in the bed if it’s most comfortable for them as I understand the need for some pups to have human contact for sleep. I live with Jasper, a 3 year old beagle who is well socialized and shares his toys. To maintain safety and attentiveness, I only accept one booking at a time. We can arrange a meet and greet upon your request.

She’s very well-versed in animal behavior. I’ve also witnessed her care for other dogs, as if they are her own watching the way Williany cares for her own senior dog gives me no doubt that she would be one of the best sitter Rover has ever hired.”
