About: I’m a proud dog mom to a 5-year-old Shiba Inu and have also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs and cats over the years. As a pet owner myself, I completely understand the worry that comes with being away from your furry companion. That’s why I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own—with patience, love, and attention to detail. I'm responsive, reliable, and committed to making sure both you and your pet feel safe and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your pet. I’m available for daytime check-ins and walks, and I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and specific needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, or play preferences—to keep things familiar and stress-free. I always treat your home with respect and maintain a clean, safe environment for your pet. You’ll receive regular updates with messages, photos, or videos, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands while you're away.

“Tenielle was reliable, warm, great with the pups, and excellent when it came to communicating any questions or concerns we had. She stayed with our two labradoodles, one of whom is rather mischievous, and we found no chewed socks, paper, etc... when we returned home. She followed our instructions to the "T". We would definitely use her again.”


“I can’t recommend Erick enough! He watched my dog Shadow over a long weekend and was truly incredible from start to finish. Shadow can be a bit reactive with other dogs and kids, and Erick took the time to meet him beforehand to ensure a good fit. They hit it off right away (the treats definitely helped!). Throughout the stay, Erick was super communicative and responsive, giving me peace of mind while I was away. He went above and beyond- taking Shadow on long walks through our local park, keeping up with his medication, sticking to his feeding and potty schedule, and giving him plenty of playtime and attention. He even used some paw balm on Shadows paws after long walks to keep them nourished and left some for me to use as well. I also came home to a tidy space, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and all-around amazing sitter, Erick is your guy. Shadow is already looking forward to his next stay!”


“Kamila spent a week with my 3 little girls (ages 13.5-14) - she was absolutely great with them! She sent pictures and updates, and gave regular meds to two of them. Everyone was completely content and happy - the pictures told the story ♥️ And not only did Kamila take excellent care of the dogs, but treated my apartment with so much respect and I think it was cleaner when I came home than when I left! I haven’t been traveling much, but now that I’ve found Kamila for the girls, I will be planning more trips! She is a gem!”


“My dog is feisty and doesn’t get along well with nearly anyone, but she loved Sara! Very responsible and communicative in important situations. She stayed at our apartment and left it cleaner than we did! Would highly recommend!”


“Lucy was a fantastic pet sitter. She kept giving me photo updates on how my pets were doing. She went above and beyond, and I am genuinely grateful for her services. I would definitely recommend her and if I'm ever in need of a pet sitter, she would be my #1 choice. Thank you so much, Lucy 💕”


About: Hello! I am so excited to get to know the lovely furry neighbors of my community! I have grown up my entire life around dogs and all types of animals. I currently have two family dogs myself I walk when I visit my childhood home, each with their own unique personality when it comes to walking, so I completely understand the key to a good walk is patience and awareness for the dogs energy. I started walking dogs from a very early age, so I have lots of experience. I promise your fur babies will have the greatest time and be in safe hands! Plus, I love taking as many photos as I can 💗 I currently work full-time but typically have mornings free, Wednesday’s and Sunday’s free. I always try and make time for dog walks and I’m very communicative about whether or not a walk time would work for me. In my home I have parks nearby and a nicely sized living room. At clients homes I’m always very respectful of the space and typically try to take the dog out for walks as much as possible if that’s their energy.

About: I've taken care of animals ranging from four legged cats and dogs. To four legged geckos and guinea pigs. I am always prepared for a nice walk. So let's stretch out legs together. I currently work from home as a crochet artist i own two dogs, a boy min pin named Poppa. Ive been taking care and loving him as my own since my mom's passing. I have a Yorkie and a leopard gecko. I love them all I will be providing food eater walks whatever is needed. I will have a pouch of pet treats. I will move at the babies pace. We don't want to scare them we want a life long bond.

About: I grew up with many different breeds of dogs and my love and passion with them is obove and beyond. I have bathed, cared and always made sure their nutritional needs were met. I always make sure the dogs or puppies get the propper exercise, hydration and well rest that is needed. When your dogs or puppies are around me they will have around the clock care with amazing comfort. I charge my services upon the breed and if special care or instructions are given. for all care that is given, please keep me posted about aggression. I will still service your pet, depending on what extra service is required, may be an upcharge. I also do pick ups & drop offs with fur buddies. The charge is based on where is location.. Sincerely I have alot of time to love, care and give the dogs or puppies much needed exercise. I am available weekdays, weekends and all holidays. I care for pets in my home just as close as a family member. Always follow their eating habits as well as exercise that follows. Always have the most well comfortable resting zone for all pets.

About: I love dogs and have had them my whole life. My dog Peanut, who’s in my profile picture with me, is my pride and joy, and I plan on taking care of him when I have my own home. My parents are out of town for work quite often, so I have cared for him on my own for extended periods of time, and I love spending time with him. I helped crate train him when he was younger as well, on top of other skills. I would love to help take care of others’ pets, and get to know everyone’s amazing animals! I’m a full time college student, and go to school on the Upper East Side in Manhattan, so I will definitely have weekday availability to anyone in the city who needs pet care. I’ll be mostly available in the afternoon, but I also have my hours available on my profile. I have one small-medium size, very friendly dog at home, and a fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I would prefer to do visits in the clients home, because I do live with my family, however depending on the dog it may be possible.

She’ll stop to greet every dog she passes like they’re old friends. She used to groom her own dog, so she’s no stranger to the hands-on things, and she’s always calm, patient, and super attentive. Dogs absolutely love her, and the feeling is definitely mutual. She treats every pup like her own, and I’d trust her with any dog in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone needing a kind, reliable, and experienced dog caregiver!”
