“Chloe is amazing! My super shy cat warmed up to her and was waiting for her at the door by the end of her visit. I would recommend her 10/10 to anyone. She provided peace of mind and was thorough with her photos and communication. Thank you Chloe!!”


About: My partner and I live in Astoria with our dog Inky! We fostered a dog for 2 months and miss having a 2nd dog around! Currently we don't have time for a full time 2nd dog but would love to go on walks/ board other dogs with our 4 year old Inky. Both Steven and I have fostered dogs individually and together and we understand the priceless feeling of a worry-free boarding experience for dog parents! We feel that caring for other people's pet children is a true honor! I'm working part time and my partner Steven WFH some days. We go to the park most weekend mornings and like to spend the entire day with the dog(s). Whether it is at home snuggling on the couch, or at a dog-friendly coffee shop. We make sure to not leave small items (ex. airpods) laying around, garbage is thrown away, and the apartment is very much baby/dog-proofed in general.

“Peter was very attentive with Meeko making sure his needs were taken care of! I received lots of updates and pics which made me feel reassured Meeko was in good hands. Thank you!”


About: I am available this month for dog sitting and dog walking. I had experience with smaller breeds but will happily care for a bigger dog. I love engaging and playing with dogs of all sizes! I believe playtime is very important for pets. With the added bonus of helping another person who might not have as much time on their hands, or who is unable to walk their beloved pets. Thank you for viewing my profile and considering me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends. I have an open schedule at the moment. My weekly routine involves the occasional dog walking gig and playing with my cat. My schedule will be open for the foreseeable future. I do not provide at home boarding at the moment. I have a cat of my own and he is not good with other pets.

About: I am retired and have recently relocated to northern jersey. I am an avid animal lover. I have always had my own pets. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my fur baby of 13 1/2 years and am not quite ready to adopt at this time but sincerely miss having an animal in my life. I am helping to care for a dear friend’s cat and although truthfully I am more a "dog" person, I now find myself beginning to appreciate "cats”. Cats are really fascinating (and a lot different) than dogs. I believe that I am a person who you can trust with one of your most prized possessions, your "fur-babies". I love walking, so dog walking is a win win!! Drop in visits are also no problem!! Unfortunately. I am unable to offer pet sitting at this time. I love to walk and especially enjoy walking for a furry companion. Home visits for either dogs and cats are also something I enjoy doing. I am currently unavailable for pet sitting. However, I do prefer walking small or medium dogs and will give them the exercise and/or company they need.

About: Animals are the center of my universe. I grew up with animals of all kinds; cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, birds, fish, ferrets. I’m currently a mom to a female golden retriever, two beautiful ferret daughters and a baby boy bird. I hope to retire one day and own an animal rescue farm. I believe it is our job as humans to give all sentient beings the absolute best love and care and to make sure they feel safe. I am keen to make sure wildlife is safe wherever possible. I’ll pull over on the side of the road to help turtles cross to the other side of the reservoir. On a daily basis I will prioritize every animal from the moment I wake up. I can and will do it all. Feeding, cleaning, walking, playing, giving them love and attention. As I mentioned above, animals are the center of my universe. I want each and every animal to trust me and feel safe with me while under my care.

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats throughout my life and have always taken pride in giving them the best care possible. Over the years, my love for animals has only grown—especially for cats. As I got older, that bond became even stronger, which eventually led me to having four cats of my own, all of whom I love deeply and care for like family. What sets me apart is my genuine connection with animals and my understanding of their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's keeping a shy cat comfortable, giving a senior pet extra patience, or just making sure every little detail is handled with care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone who works from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of free time throughout the day and week to focus on pet care. My remote work is structured in a way that gives me the freedom to plan around pet visits and provide consistent, attentive care. Whether it’s morning check-ins, midday playtime, or evening visits, I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs and make sure your pet gets the time, love, and attention they deserve! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can create a calm, secure environment that feels familiar and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, playtime, or keeping the litter box clean and tidy. I make sure pets feel safe and cared for, and I always keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. At my home, pets have a quiet, cat-friendly space where they can relax without stress or overcrowding. I’m mindful of keeping things clean, secure, and peaceful—especially for more sensitive or shy cats. My goal is always to treat your pet (and your home) with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

“Our cat is in love with Ellie! She gave him all of the cuddles and love...along with food and his insulin shot every night. As a senior cat, Iowa needs special attention and Ellie is a great caregiver for our old pal!”


About: Lifelong animal lover with experience from pups, kittens to senior dogs and even more recently deaf pets. Was raised with cats, dogs, and even reptiles. Pet care fits naturally into my life. Recently lost my 13yr old senior frenchie. I do work full-time weekdays but am available for evening feedings, walks, and weekend care. My 12 yr old son may be with me many times as this is also his passion. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort and safety come first. In my home, while space is modest, I offer a clean, cozy environment with a secure fenced-in yard for play and potty breaks. I'm attentive and patient. I also have a 12 yr old son who can keep your pet active if needed. My son actively entertained our frenchie and provided those extra special hugs. There will always be room for love and play. In your home, I follow your pet's routine closely to keep them calm and happy while you're away.

“Cheryl & Elmar each dropped-in to visit my new 10 week old puppy who is adapting to his parents going back to work. Hudson absolutely loved playing with them and they provided plenty of pictures and videos to ensure Hudson was comfortable and having a great time.”


About: I come from a home of living with dogs and cats. I love animals and enjoy them as companions. In my care, I would love to take your pets on walks, open terrain's to play and do whatever else to make your pet comfortable/ feel loved in my care. I will provide your pets lot's of love and attention. I work from home so whether it’s dropping in to take your dog for a walk or even boarding your beloved pet I’m open to the possibilities caring for your pet could bring. Excited to connect I currently work remote from home so I have a flexible schedule to take care of animals! I have the ability to drop in for feed or even walks. Anything that your pet needs to feel at home I’m open to doing whether that’s lots of movement, play, physical touch or outdoor activity I’m open to making your pet feel safe!

“Lauren was wonderful with our 4 cats. I would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter and will be asking her to drop in daily for us again. Our oldest cat required medicine in her food which Lauren was no stranger to, as she has done that with her own animals. The most timid of our cats came out for head scratches by the end of the 5 days - a sure sign that she is gentle and knows animals. She was also able to drop in around the same time each day, which was important for the cat that needed medication and was good for the animals. They are probably less anxious with a routine visiting time. 2 thumbs up!”


“Maia is the best! I needed someone to pet sit last second and I couldn’t have been luckier to get Maia to take care of my four kittens. She left detailed information, with pictures, from each visit and followed my instructions to a t. She truly put my mind at ease and I knew my kittens were in great hands. Don’t think twice if you need a pet sitter! I highly recommend, Maia!”

“Andrea is doing a wonderful job with my little man, Romeo. She is very attentive to his needs and whenever there a scheduling issue she has no problem changing things around. Lots of purrs and snuggles when I came home, definitely recommend!”


About: I have been taking care of my dog for about 7 years now, I have been feeding him and playing with him, I love them. I work a part time job so in my free time I like walking dogs and seeing other dogs and everything they have to give. I have a fence so he can play when he wants on the deck or if he wants a walk. If they misbehave I can crate them so they can learn.

“Alina was fantastic. I'm so happy I found her. She stepped in to take care of 2 cats 2 times a day for over 2 weeks on pretty short notice. Communication wasn't easy since I'm overseas in a different time zone but it worked. I loved getting her pics and notes everyday, seeing how well she cared for Tara and Kora. She obviously loves cats and I was thrilled to see how comfortable and happy they were with her. She went above and beyond for me and them. I highly recommend Alina and won't hesitate to book her again.”



“Erick did a great job taking care of our cat following my wife's exacting food prep standards over several days while we were away. We had an intro meeting ahead of our planned visits, and after that we had an unexpected change of plans and he was able to accommodate a different schedule on short notice. He was on time, responsive, and dependable. He played with the cat, fed him, changed his water, and cleaned his litterbox. Erick also went above and beyond, ie he brought in packages left on the porch and pulled in the trash container from the curb after the weekly pickup. Highly recommended.”

Erisa S.

“Erisa is my real life "Dog Whisperer". I have never seen her not a love a dog she saw, and I've never seen a dog that didn't love her. It's easy to tell that her love of dogs is real because I have yet to hear a single complaint about the dogs she's fostered and taken care of. Honestly, sometimes I wonder who enjoys going on the walk more, the dog, or her! If you're looking for someone to love and care for your dog as much as you do, I can't imagine a better person to choose than Erisa.”

Gail M.
“Hello: I have known Gail for better than 25 years and have observed her lovingly and competently care for her own pets as well as mine. You will not find a better companion for your pet!”


Lynda L.
“I have known Lynda a long time. We call her “Ellie Mae Clampett”. She is truly the most involved caregiver for animals I have yet to encounter in my 60+ years. Lynda has taken care of our 2 golden retrievers until these two dogs were 16 and 17 years old. She frequently involved herself with our English Shepard and now with our newer golden. A dedicated animal lover to the core. Lynda has also cared for an Eclectus parrot that was in our home for several years. That bird was very hard for anyone to get close to…Lynda did and handled him easily and with his permission. If there is anyone I would have in my home to responsibly take care of my animals…Lynda is a first choice always. Trustworthy and sincere should be her middle names.”


Sara S.
“I can’t recommend Sara enough! She is incredibly caring, nurturing, and experienced with both cats and dogs and it truly shows. She treats every animal as if they were her own, with the highest level of respect, love, and patience. With multiple pets of her own, she understands how to handle different personalities and needs with calm confidence and kindness. You can trust that your pet will be safe, well-cared for, and given plenty of affection in Sara’s care. She’s the kind of sitter you feel lucky to find!”

Selina O.
“Selina has watched my dog on multiple occasions and I can honestly say she is the most responsible individual, who will do her upmost to take care of any pet in her care. She doesn’t just sit around (like previous dog sitters I’ve encountered) she took the dog on walks and to the park to interact with other dogs. It’s peace of mind knowing I have someone like her to call on when I have to go out of town!”

Evelien Z.
“Leaving our dog with Evelien was the best decision we could have made! The large fenced yard gave our pup so much space to play, and he loved spending time with her friendly dogs. Evelien kept his routine perfectly, and we felt at ease knowing a vet and dog spa were so close by. We received daily updates and pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun—truly the best boarding experience we’ve ever had!”
