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 was very happy with her care for my cat who needed insulin shots 2x a day.”
“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!”
“Steff was a wonderful cat sitter!! She and Maddy got along super well, and she was always super thorough and communicative throughout the time I was away. She even made sure Maddy was taken care of when the lock on my door broke!”
“Sandy is absolutely amazing! I hired her to watch my two cats, Enzo and Luca and she took such good care of them. She fed them, cleaned their litter box, gave them treats and talked to them. It’s truly evident that she loves animals. My babies felt so comfortable with her and loved her visits.”
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

“I highly recommend Julia Goldstein for any pet-sitting or dog-walking position. She has cared for my golden retriever multiple times, and I’ve always been impressed with her reliability, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals. My dog absolutely adores her, and I always feel at ease knowing he is in good hands. Julia goes above and beyond to ensure pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Rover would be lucky to have her!”

18. joseline f.
“Joseline has many exotic pets at home, ranging from dogs to cats to a bearded dragon to a fish. She even has a turtle. When she invited a bird to her house, she gave it all the attention and food it deserves. She treats her pets as if they were her own children, which I come to understand they are. A few years ago, her second turtle died, which she had since her teenage years and Joseline was distraught for a quite a while. I also have a cat of my own, to which Joseline took care of. She brought him back from the vet, made sure my cat had food and water available and stayed with him for a while before leaving to her house. Entrusting her with my cat was not a difficult choice, since I know she would take care of my cat as one of her children. As you can conclude, Joseline has had many years of experience with different kinds of animals. Joseline can be flexible as she can be pleasant to work with. I am sure if you were entrust your furry companion to Joseline, it would be another member of the family.”

“Sasha loves dogs of all breeds and sizes. She is always responsible, respectful and trustworthy when walking dogs. While walking my dog, she was on time, friendly and able to accommodate to any requests. Sasha is always happy to help out a neighbor or friend who needs their dog(s) walked. No matter the time of day, she will be there with a smile on her face.”
