Communicative, friendly, efficient. My cats are generally skittish but they warmed up to her immediately. It was my first time having a sitter in my home and I will certainly be using her again.

Wendy was absolutely fabulous taking care of our cat, Ivy over our holiday vacation. She was extremely prompt, honoring the times we needed her to come to maintain her feeding schedule, which kept our cat perfectly at ease and free of anxiety while we were gone. Wendy goes above and beyond to send sweet updates and is just the best pet sitter we could have asked for. I highly recommend her!

About: I had two beautiful dogs of my own but we had to say goodbye to one of our girls. Recently relocated for my wife’s career and will have a little extra time as we get settled so figured I’d try to help NYers be at ease with their busy schedules. My schedule is flexible and would love to help you out with your fur child / children. We never like to leave our little ones for too long but sometimes get caught in a pickle! Happy to help put your mind at ease knowing your dog is taken care of when you have those busy / long days or just have some social plans! Look forward to making more furry friends in the area. I am very active and already walk my dogs around Central Park and Riverside park daily. Our 6 year old fur child would love to have a friend to go to the park with! We have a dog friendly building and are a short walk to both Riverside and Central Park. Both my dogs are extremely friendly with dogs and children. Love to make sure pups are getting the love and exercise the need.

About: NOTE: I work in midtown from 8 am-5 pm every weekday. I will do my best to accommodate you and your fur babies, but please be considerate of my schedule before booking! Thanks! I’ve had pets my whole life. I have a dog (shared custody with my ex, currently with him) and a cat. I also partner with local rescue organizations as a foster, and currently have 2 additional foster cats in my care. I am passionate about animals and their care. I currently work from home full time, so I am available to you and your pets all day! They will be well attended to at all times. I have 3 friendly cats that get along with other cats and dogs. I give all of my attention to the pets that are in my care!
