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: 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.

Shalyse is fantastic. She checked in our cats while we were away, and she is extremely kind, professional, responsive, communicative and thorough. She was also very flexible and accommodating when a change of plans required us to modify our booking. We will definitely request her to watch our cats again and will highly recommend her to our friends. Thank you Shalyse!

Jennifer is the *purrfect* kitty sitter! She recently cared for my two senior cats and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They liked her instantly, even if it took them a little time to fully come out of their shells—but by the end, they *loved* her! Jennifer clearly understands cats and knows how to build trust at their pace. She was reliable, communicative, and sent the sweetest photo updates while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind to know they were in such good hands. If you're looking for someone who will truly connect with your cats and care for them like her own, Jennifer is the one!

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: I provide real, personalized care, not just a side hustle. I’ve got the patience for hyper puppies and a gentle touch for senior dogs who need a slower pace. Your pet will get treated like family, because that’s the only way I know how to do it. <33 I work out of my computer 4 days out of the week and in the office on Tuesdays (doesn't require full 8 hours). Therefore, very flexible/open. Your pet's safety and your trust are everything. I treat your home with respect and follow your routine to a T. I’ve got families that rely on me time after time, trust your fur baby will be in good hands, I guarantee it. :)

About: I've been loving and taking care of dogs since I got my first pet when I was 10 years old! I have experience taking care of younger, energetic dogs and older, more laid-back dogs. As my dog got older, he needed a lot of different types of care in regards to specific diet and making sure he takes his prescribed medications, so I'm very capable at that aspect of pet care! I've also done pet sitting for some friends a few times so I know how to help make our little friends feel more comfortable in a different environment. At the end of the day, I love all the routine and fun tasks-walking, feeding, bathing and lots of playing! I'd be super excited to provide some extra care and love to your pups!! I currently work remotely proofreading and fact-checking AI chatbot responses. I also am an aspiring actor, so most of my time with that consists of auditions. Most auditions are self-taped in my home and occasionally I'll have an in-person audition. I attend an acting class once a week on Tuesdays from 11a-3:30pm. I am very available and flexible when it comes to pet care! My goal is to make sure your pet feels as comfortable and loved as possible! My dog did not like change and did not want his routine disrupted so I will make sure if there is any instructions when it comes to walks, feeding and treats that I will follow them! I will also send plenty of updates, pics and videos!

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life, and was often asked by neighbors and friends to watch their pets on vacation. Along with my own experiences owning several varieties of pets including cats, fish, and geckos, I also have professional experience from years working at different pet stores, which broadened my knowledge to dogs, birds, guinea pigs, and other small and exotic animals. Simply put, your pets are mine for the time they are in my care, and I will treat them with the same love and attention that I give my own because I know how much pets enrich our lives. I'm currently self-employed, so I have a flexible schedule to play and care for your pets. I am also available for overnight stays and can do general house care as well such as lights, cleaning and watering plants. I do not board, but I tailor my care based off of the care you are already providing for your pet, so there is as little change to their normal routine as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of young puppies with energetic personalities and senior fur buddies with special needs. All are given love and care from the heart. Additionally, I have an eight year-old pug who is my best friend and I always try to make sure that he is included in everything I do. He is also a senior dog, so I always try to make sure that his diet and health is my top priority. He knows that he can trust me whenever he is feeling down or happy, and I plan to provide the same love towards your pup! I'm a 22-year-old grad student at Lehman college studying speech pathology. Most of my classes are at night, allowing a lot of daytime to spend caring for fur babies. I love nature walks and spending time with my pug (my best friend). In my home, I have a senior pug who is loving and stays in his world but will keep your furry friend company. My family is also loving to all animals, so extra love will be guaranteed in my home. When it comes to your pet's needs, I take pride in following instructions and specific because I value health and I would like others to do the same with my beloved dog.
