I would give Hadley 10 stars! This is the first time we had someone who wasn't a close friend care for our kitties. I was nervous, especially because Twinkle's diet and medication are a little complicated, and she doesn't like everyone, she's picky. But I could see when we met Hadley that they had a calm and loving temperament, and took the best care possible of our babies. Hadley's communication skills both with us and the kitts were great, and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worries. Also, great pictures and comments every day!

About: Hi! I’m [Your Name], a passionate dog lover and dedicated pet care professional. With years of hands-on experience walking and caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I treat every pup like they’re my own. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long adventure walk, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to make sure your furry friend is happy, healthy, and safe. Reliability, communication, and genuine care are at the heart of everything I do. Let me give your dog the love and exercise they deserve — tails will wag, I promise! On an average I run 4-6 miles daily. As a digital artist who works from home I tend to find myself with a lot of energy left and lots of times I would rather spend with animals and being active at that. As a husky owner and a dog that needs lots of attention and walks, my dog is my best friend. He runs with me a lot, and I care for my dog as well as my other pets very attentive, extremely nurturing (it’s a habit), and with so much play time.

About: Hi! I’m Amae — a lifelong animal lover who truly grew up surrounded by pets. I was raised with a sweet pit bull and two cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural (and happy) part of my life. I also have experience helping my mom with babysitting and pet care through the app, so I understand the importance of trust, communication, and consistency when caring for someone else’s fur babies. I’m currently a responsible college student who loves being around animals in my free time. Right now, I’m also a bunny mom, so I’m used to routines, gentle handling, and giving lots of love and attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I know how special pets are, and I’d be happy to help care for yours 🐶🐱🐰✨ Pet care is already a built-in part of my daily routine. Every day, I make time to feed and play with my cat, as well as care for my bunny. That means fresh food and water, enrichment time, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they’re both getting attention and affection. I really value creating a calm, consistent routine for animals, so checking in on them throughout the day has just become second nature to me. In other people’s homes, I respect house rules, keep things tidy, and maintain clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s checking collars and leashes before walks, monitoring playtime, or making sure they have fresh water. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I give my own.

About: What sets me apart is my calm, observant approach and the amount of care I put into making animals feel genuinely safe and comfortable. I’m patient with shy, anxious, high-energy, or senior pets, and I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and individual personalities. I’m highly reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, so owners can trust that instructions will be followed carefully and their pets will get thoughtful, attentive care rather than just a quick check-in. I’m a freelancer and student, Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m organized, reliable, and good at maintaining consistent feeding, play, medication, and check-in schedules. I also like quieter routines, so spending time caring for cats feels calming and grounding rather than stressful or rushed. I care for pets with a lot of attention, patience, and respect for their routines and boundaries. In a client’s home, I make sure food, water, litter, medications, and general cleanliness are handled carefully while also giving the cat affection, enrichment, or space depending on their personality. I pay close attention to behavior changes and prioritize creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Always happy to send updates and tidy up!

About: I service all five boroughs as well as Westchester. I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, from energetic puppies to gentle senior pets. I’m available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week it’s never too early or too late to message me. I share my home with two friendly cats who keep to themselves and a secure backyard perfect for playtime. Friends, family, clients and neighbors have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and give plenty of love to their pets. I’m home most of the day, can provide potty breaks every 0–2 hours, and happily accommodate same-day bookings. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, a safe space, or fun outdoor time, I’ll make them feel at home. If your dog isn’t comfortable around cats, no worries my cats have their own separate area to roam, and dogs won’t encounter them if they’re uneasy. You can feel confident knowing your pup will have plenty of space and peace of mind here. For added convenience, I also offer optional pickup and drop-off for your dog, cat, or other pets for a small additional fee. I’m located near both LaGuardia (LGA) and JFK Airport, and I can provide airport-friendly transport for you and your pet together meaning I can pick you up or drop you off at the airport while also safely transporting your pet to my home for their stay. This makes travel day easier, saves on rideshare costs, and ensures your pet stays calm and comfortable from the moment you arrive. Just ask anytime, and I’ll make sure your furry friend arrives safely and stress-free. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets with 24/7, around-the-clock availability. Don’t worry about messaging too early or too late it’s never too early or too late when it comes to your furry family member. I’m happy to accommodate same-day bookings, weekend stays, and weekday visits, making sure your pets always get the love, play, and companionship they deserve.😌 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard for safe outdoor play and a pet-friendly home environment with two gentle cats who are used to being around other animals. I follow feeding and care instructions closely, can crate your dog if requested, and make sure pets have constant access to fresh water, clean spaces, and plenty of affection.

Kamila was a wonderful sitter for my cats, Thaddeus and Neo. She followed all of my instructions with care, kept their routine consistent, and made sure they had food, fresh water, clean litter, and plenty of attention. She even went the extra mile by playing with them and keeping them entertained with their treat puzzles. She was always on time and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. I really appreciated the updates she sent, which made being away so much easier. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and a tidy space. I would absolutely book with Kamila again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive sitter.

About: I love all animals and once my dog Snow passed away I decided to extend my help to any pet parents out there that need a little support. I’m also on Wag! The best workout you can possibly have is walking your dog or playing with your cat. It’s way better than going to the gym everyday. :) When I have a pet in my care I always make it a priority to get very detailed instructions for the pets care and always send periodic pictures and video updates to the pet parent
