About: I have a dog of my own and my family and I take amazing care of him! I have also helped in pet-sitting cats and dogs for neighbors, families and friends. I normally help with walks but I have also taken care of some overnight. My dog is very friendly so it's always a great experience having more furry friends around! I am currently a college student but as it is summer time, I am currently doing a virtual internship at home. I am going to be home for 24/7 for these next 3 months and thought it would be amazing to have the opportunity to petsit for those busy during the summer. As my schedule is very free I have a lot of free time, so pet care and my internship are the only things on schedule. I have my adorable 3 year old dog that will help keep your babies entertained and comfortable, he's really great with children and other animals. I live in an apartment but right outside is a huge field where they can run around and play. Usually they will be kept on a leash unless we reach this area that is just land and allows them to run around freely. (But do let me know if you would prefer them to just be on a leash for the entirety of their stay, and I will of course ensure that!)
“Angelena was a total lifesaver! She was able to check on my cat on such short notice while I was on the Island. She was very responsive to my cat's needs and was able to grab some photos of my cat. Overall I was very pleased with her attentive service :)”
“Imani pet sat my two cats while I was gone for a week and she did a fantastic job! She was an excellent communicator, asked great questions and went above and beyond. I will definitely rebook her in the future.”
About: I work in a doggy daycare and I love interacting with the dogs and playing with them. The little ones stick like glue to me, they love following me around and beg me to pick them up! I like to keep them busy by playing with them and encouraging play time with the other dogs. I'm comfortable with dogs of any sizes, and of any age. I do love the senior doggies, they're so sweet. I work full time, and I offer my services around my working hours. I have open availability on my 2 days off as well so I can utilize my services those 2 days anytime. When I go into clients home, I'm very mindful that I am in someone elses space and they have entrusted me to go into their home and tend to their fur baby. It's important to me to respect my clients home and only go in to provide the service that they have requested and compensated me for. I want to foster a trusting, long-term relationship with my clients and only provide the best service to retain clients. This shows in my work and I can provide references if needed.
About: I like taking care of dogs of every kind since I was little. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to talk and feed their pets I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 5:00pm. Hello! My name is Shixing / Daniel. I love dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I have very free availability and I am located in the Bronx

Dean F.
“Aside from being one of the friendliest and most kind hearted people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, Dean is reliable, a great communicator, and has such a positive attitude! I had went on vacation for a little over a week and needed someone to watch my Dog Coco and my guinea pigs Rex and Ray. Coco is extremely friendly and adjusts to most if not all environments, meanwhile my guinea pigs are always anxious and can be uncomfortable around strangers. Dean watched my fur babies while I was on vacation and he kept me up to date with how each of them were doing, showing me pictures and videos, and even let me FaceTime them just so I could say hello. I knew my Coco would be fine, they got along extremely well and he LOVES Dean, but I was so glad that my guineas were so comfortable with him and didn’t stay in their huts the entire time. I was so appreciative of him taking care of my boys and how kind of a person he was, that I recommended my best friend to him as well (she has 2 cats). She had a great experience with him as well! I would highly recommend Dean to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
Lauryn D.
“Lauryn is guaranteed a great pet care giver! I have two Yorkshire terriers and a cat that all love Lauryn dearly !

You will not be disappointed in choosing Lauryn for all of your pet sitting needs!”

Luis N.
“Luis has been watching my 3 cats for over 2 years now. I am so happy I found Luis as he takes so much extra time and attention for my furry friends. He takes great care of their general needs for food/water/litter change but on top of it he takes time to play laser with them and pet and cuddle them. The cats love Luis and miss him when he’s not around! He is the best cat sitter I’ve had. I would recommend him to anyone!!”
Daniel L.
“Hi，he is the absolute best. Our dog harry looks forward to seeing him every day and is not quite the same when he doesn’t. He literally weeps with joy when he shows up. he is so thoughtful and just a really wonderful person. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for help!”
