Jiamin was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Dodo! She offered a meet and greet before booking and from the moment we dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in caring hands. She gave many updates with photos and videos, which showed how comfortable Dodo was during his stay. Jiamin clearly has a natural love for animals—she was attentive, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure Dodo felt at home. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!

About: I have extensive experience with taking care of cats and dogs as I have always had animals in my home. Currently I have two cats and three turtles. I also work for an animal food pantry where we provide free pet food to senior citizens and low income families. I also take care of multiple cat colonies near my home and have built shelters for them! I currently am working 4 days in person in New York City but am free Thursday afternoon, all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This will be changing in August and I will be available all day Wednesday, Thursday and the weekend! I have a fenced yard and a pool if your dog likes to go swimming! I also have a fenced dog park near my home where I can take them if they are friendly with other dogs. My cats are very friendly but if needed I can separate them as I have the space in my home to do so!

Katie was SO kind and incredibly gentle with my Collie, who was going to a sitter for the first time. She followed all of the small instructions and details in his schedule, from feeding habits to giving medicine, and even cleaned his blanket + bowls at the end of his stay. My dog barely wanted to leave after finishing his stay! I truly cannot recommend her enough.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was 6, so I know how to take care of different pets no matter what kinda of pet is. I just love animals! , so I don’t mind taking care of them. :> I’m currently working part-time as a cashier in a supermarket not that far from my house, so I’ll have time to play and take care of your pet. I’m available the weekdays after 8pm or before 2:50pm (all the morning) and the weekends after 6:00. (My schedule change when classes start) I have a younger sister of 11 years friendly and loves pets. I don’t have my own yard but outside my house there’s a nice space for pets where they can run, walk safe. It’s like a nice big green yard basically.

About: Family and friends trust me with their pets because I treat every furry friend like my own, full of love, attention, and gentle care that keeps tails wagging and hearts happy. With school starting in two weeks, my schedule is wide open, and I’ll still have plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they need. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to play safely, and I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for enjoyable walks. Whether at my home or yours, I ensure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of love.

I can't express enough how carefully and thoughtfully Leah takes care of animals. Her compassion and dedication truly shine through in everything she does. Not only does she provide exceptional care to her own two pets—ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-loved—but she also goes out of her way to look after the stray cats in the neighborhood. Whether it's leaving out food and clean water, building makeshift shelters during colder months, or simply taking the time to earn their trust, Leah treats every animal with the same level of kindness and respect. It's clear that caring for animals isn't just something she does—it's who she is. Anyone would be lucky to have her looking after their pets.

Gabriela was absolutely amazing with my puppy- From the moment they met, our pup felt comfortable and happy to see her. She kept updating us with pictures and little notes about what they were doing through out the day. As owner gave me a peace of mind to See the updates. It’s clear she truly loves and understands pets —our pup came home relaxed, happy, and tired from all the fun they had. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book her again in advance.
