About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including my family dog and family friends’. I love going on walks, bathing, and feeding dogs. I know some tricks to give them medicine if needed. I’m working part-time on Saturdays, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your fur baby throughout the week. I don’t have any time restraints, so feel free to rely on me. I know how to crate dogs, regardless of age, and have a lot of patience since I’ve babysat toddlers before too. I know not all dogs are the same and wait for them to approach first unless there’s an emergency.

About: I was previously in a internship program about animals specifically dogs for a whole summer. Picking up after them and feeding them. It was about 28 dogs on the busiest days and the minimum was about 10 so I got to know very different and unique dogs. As of now I am open and available to watch any furry animals like cats or dogs for as long as I am required too. I have a very nice and playful dog myself that loves the company of other animals. She loves making friends and is gentle with smaller animals.

“Natalie did a great job taking care of our cat while we were gone for a week! It was the longest we’ve ever left our cat and she has some separation anxiety issues, so it was a relief to know that Natalie was there giving her plenty of time and attention each day. The photos she sent were great and I could tell that Kiwi was a fan with plenty of treats, toys, and pets! We would definitely book again.”

About: Every dog has their own personality, and I believe the best care starts with understanding that. Some dogs want to play all day, some need patience and time to trust you, and others are happiest just having someone calmly by their side. I always take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable. My experience with animals started helping rescue dogs in South America, including dogs that were scared, shy, or came from difficult situations. It taught me patience and how important it is to let an animal trust you at their own pace. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, independent, or a little nervous with new people, I’ll care for them based on what they need and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care has always been a big part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets every day, so I’m very used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime and making sure they get the attention they need. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. I understand how important consistency is, so I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including their usual walk times, feeding schedule and any specific instructions you have. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible even when you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow the routine and instructions you give me because I want your pet to feel as comfortable and normal as possible while you’re away. I pay close attention to feeding times, walks, medications if needed, playtime and the little things that are specific to your pet. I’m also respectful of your home and will always leave it the way I found it. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and being well cared for. I care for every pet with the same patience and attention I would want someone to give my own.

About: I have owned animals my whole life and cared for them. I attended an animal science program for two years where I cared for dogs of all sizes and ages. My duties included walking, feeding, bathing, nail and fur trimming, and cleaning kennels. I have also pet sat for friends and family for 4 years taking care of both cats and dogs. I am currently a full time student but I do a mix of in person and virtual classes and take a light course load so I have plenty of time to fit pet care into my schedule. I can easily crate pets if needed, I am good at calming down animals in distress. I can also administer medication and follow special diets as needed.

“Shibo was absolutely amazing! I have two male cats, and one of them I had just adopted 10 days before leaving for my trip. He was very skittish when I first got him, but he warmed up to Shibo right away. My other cat took a liking to him immediately as well—who wouldn’t! Shibo was so wonderful, giving my cats the attention they needed while I was away. In the past, I relied on neighbors and people just stopping by to feed and check on them, but my experience with Shibo has completely changed my perspective. It is worth every penny to have someone as great as him looking after your fur babies! When I returned, I could see the difference in my fluffy companions in the best way as this is very early in their introduction phase. I had peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Shibo provided fantastic updates and beautiful photos, making it clear that my cats had a wonderful time with their new friend. I have full trust in Shibo as I also came home to find everything exactly as I expected. I highly recommend Shibo for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Especially cats.”

I also send photos and updates after each visit so pet parents can feel confident that their cat is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐱❤️

About: I've been dog walking and sitting for four years in both New York and Los Angeles. I've worked with dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes all over the city. I'm experienced in dog play groups and hikes. I've also administered medicine when needed. I grew up around pooches as small as Pomeranians and as big as Great Danes. I've done it all and can't wait to keep the good times rolling with your pup! I am a freelance writer (mostly advertising) which means my hours are flexible and I have plenty of free time during the day to care for your pups. I also have weekend availability when needed. I have years of dog walking and sitting experience. I'm comfortable with the full array of harnesses and leashes and have supervised countless play dates at dog parks if that's something your pup is into. I've always kept a great line of communication with pet owners so they know their loved ones are safe and most importantly - they know exactly what happened on their little guy's walk. Personally, I have two cats at home and I give them their little medicines so I am comfortable providing that service to your pet if needed.

About: In addition to my own pet, I have extensive experience caring for other animals. I've pet-sat for both cats and dogs. Additionally, I've sat for dogs with very specific medical needs. I work part-time in retail. Right now, I don't have a fixed work schedule, but I'm gone for no more than six hours on any given day I work. I am also willing to change shifts or move as needed. Outside of that, my time is free and flexible. I'll work hard to ensure your pet gets the time they need. I will follow any instructions you provide to the letter and am confident I can handle any special needs your pet may have. I also know that proper playtime is as essential as anything else. You can trust me to entertain your fuzz, not just feed it and walk away!

About: I’ve always been a lover of animals especially cats and dogs! I have my own cat that I’ve taken care of through thick and thin. Administering a pet medicine, a bath, a walk, food and water, and companionship is something I’m very fond of. Your pets will be treated like my own. :) I have all my weekdays free for taking care of your furry companion! However, if I have certain errands or appointments I need to get done I will let you know in advance as soon as anything comes up. :) I will make sure to accommodate to whatever requirements or rules you have set for your place of living. Please let me know of all of these before allowing me to care for your cat/dog.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience with pups of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I've raised my own dog from the time he was a puppy to his senior years (he's 13 and still kicking!) Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I will treat your best friend like my own. I work Tuesday-Saturday from 6am-2pm, but also have a relatively flexible remote schedule! I'm generally available anytime after 2pm for walks and drop ins, and can easily travel to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. I have a recurring class on Mondays at 7pm, but am available anytime before that (not sure how to add specific times on single days, just message me to let me know if you need a walk or drop in before 6pm :)) On walks, I focus on making each outing safe, fun, and suited to your dog's energy level, whether that’s a relaxed stroll or an energetic adventure. I always pay attention to their comfort, body language and environment to ensure they feel secure and happy. In your home, I follow all care instructions closely and treat every pet with the same love and respect I give my own. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime and calm companionship, keeping their routine consistent and stress-free while you’re away. I also pay close attention to your pet's nonverbal cues and comfort levels to determine what kind of mood they're in.

About: I love all animals but dogs steal my heart everytime. Ive cared for dogs since i was 10 years old. 37 years now. I named my first dog Benji after my favorite dog on tv. I love to take them on long walks in the park or just take a stroll through the city meeting new little friends and viewing the beautiful scenery. When at home we can cuddle and watch tv. Dogs love me, they can sense when a person is loving and safe.They will definitely have fun, ill make sure of it. Your dog will be well taken care of.They are not just pets or property, they are family. While your dog is with me, he or she will be treated like family.

I have plenty of open time throughout the day and week to give your pet my undivided attention, frequent check-ins, and consistent, reliable care. To provide a safe and loving environment, trust that I will follow your exact routine for feeding, exercise, and meds, while giving plenty of attention and updates.

We have booked Charlie to watch over our two cats twice already and will continue to do so. He is very attentive to their needs. When we returned home, their bowls were washed and spotless, the floor was swept and also spotless. He even offered to water our plants.

Sabrina was wonderful, she was so sweet and gentle to my three cats. She knew how to interact with them and pet them but she also knew when to back off if any of my cats were more timid. She also cleaned up after my cats litter robot perfectly and kept my home clean as well as double checking if the oven/ stove was off!

Chok is the most caring and conscientious cat sitter I’ve ever had. Leaving your pets behind is always stressful, but she immediately put my mind at ease. Melody and Houdini instantly connected with her—they usually take time to warm up to new people, but they absolutely adored her! She was incredibly attentive to their routines, extremely thorough with the care instructions, and treated my home with the utmost respect. It is so clear that she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, safe, and comfortable. I could tell from her detailed updates and photos/videos she sent that my cats were in fantastic hands the entire time. ***Chok also administered asthma medicine to one of my cats (an inhaler using Aerotek chamber and mask). If you are looking for a trustworthy, loving, and reliable sitter who will treat your fur babies like her own, look no further. I am so grateful for her and will definitely be booking her again! Chok is amazing!

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
