About: I have had a dog since I was young. I have taken my dog and friends’ dogs on walks together throughout the years. I was known for taking care of my friends’ pets while they went on vacation. I checked in with their pets at their homes at least three times a day. There were occasions where I was also handling providing medication for the pet as it had different prescriptions during their time away. I just graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and moved. I have a lot of time over the weekends and some weekdays! I am always home to keep your dog company and love playing with dogs. I can sit outside with them or play with them indoors!
About: I have been around animals all my life. I currently have a 15 year old husky who is my best friend. She is getting older and I’d like for her to make new friends and get used to being around some good puppies before she moves on. She is the greatest puppy and my best friend 😊 I can work from home or go into the office. Having an elderly dog, it works so perfectly with my work life balance. I love being able to leave the office when ever I feel my puppy needs to be taken care of! 😊 Dogs and cats are humans and they should be treated as such! I love animals more than o love people and my dogs love and behavior reflects that I feel!

“Debra was fantastic with my fur baby. She followed all my directions 100% and Beatrix was in great spirits upon my return. I would definitely recommend Debra and would call her again!! Thank you so much!!!”


About: I have had dogs my whole life (among ferrets, fish, a crab..) We have an 11 year old mini schnauzer whose favorite activity is sleeping. Our apartment is small, but that just means we can be cozy! I’m currently unemployed and pursuing grad school, so I’m available for boarding with a 1 or so notice. I have plenty of time to do walks and drop ins. I live in an apartment building in Brooklyn. It’s not a ton of space, but we have plenty of parks around us (Fort greene/Prospect) Animals are allowed on the furniture at my home. My 11 year old schnauzer is very relaxed and can keep your baby company. I do not own a crate. I will take care of your space the same way I would want mine to be taken care of.

About: I've been an animal lover all my life - growing up in the rural south - we had dogs and cats! Now that I've been calling Brooklyn home for over a decade, I've settled in with my aussiedoodle, Dolly, and my two pre-teen boys. I must say - she is absolutely spoiled and loves having furry friends come hang out! We have someone home about 80% of the time to hang out, play with, and love on your furbaby! There is always someone home overnight and we will gladly follow your pet's schedule as closely as possible for feeding, walks, potty breaks, etc. We treat your pet just like a member of our family! Our three year old female aussiedoodle, Dolly, is an upbeat, playful pal that will enjoy playing with and hanging out with your little one. We have an outdoor terrace on the ground floor that is fully fenced in and we love to spend extra time outside playing as well!
“Paul took care of our cat Sadie for a few days when we were on a weekend trip. He followed our instructions / did everything we asked and was very communicative! Thank you, Paul!”
About: I have been a passionate dog lover my entire life and have extensive experience caring for my own 3-year-old Shiba Inu back home. Raising a Shiba has taught me incredible patience, the importance of positive reinforcement, and how to handle independent, high-energy breeds. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and specific needs, and I am committed to providing the same level of attentive, specialized care to your furry friend that I give to my own. Hi! I am Lexi! I am perfectly located for an active dog! I live just a 10-minute walk from Prospect Park, which is perfect for long, scenic afternoon strolls and exploring the trails. For quick "business" trips and fresh air, there is also a small “park” literally 30 seconds downstairs from my door. Whether your pup needs a long adventure in the big park or a quick stretch right outside, I can easily accommodate their energy levels and bathroom needs throughout the day. I live alone in NYC and work from home two days for workdays , which allows me to provide constant companionship and frequent potty breaks for your pet. On my WFH days, your dog will never be lonely! During the rest of the week, my schedule is flexible, allowing for long morning walks, evening play sessions, and plenty of quality time. Since I don't have pets in my current apartment, your dog will receive 100% of my attention and affection during their stay. Safety is my top priority. When your dog is with me, I ensure a calm, pet-proofed environment where they can feel at ease. I am a firm believer in following the owner’s specific instructions to the letter—whether it’s a strict feeding schedule, leash manners during city walks, or crate training preferences. I live in a secure building and am very vigilant during walks to ensure we avoid any stressful situations. You can expect frequent photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pup is having!

Ariel was so lovely and communicative even though it we reached out to her very last-minute! We appreciated the compassion she had for both of our dogs, but especially for our large, leash-reactive dog who sometimes needs a little extra skill. Ariel was thoughtful in following our instructions and training wishes. Both dogs seemed happy and excited for a new friend in the pictures Ariel sent and when we got home. Thanks so much!

Ella was a fantastic sitter, and my cats loved her. Even my extremely shy cat who hides from everyone came out for her and let her pet him after only a few days. Ella was communicative, responsive, and helpful. She kept me updated on how the cats were doing and sent cute photos of her playing with them. I highly recommend Ella to anyone looking for a cat sitter.

Siddhi was amazing! She was super flexible, always on time, and so sweet with our dog, Burley. She did three drop-in visits and even at our meet and greet I could tell how gentle and caring she was with animals. We’re so happy we found her and will definitely be reaching out again. Thanks so much, Siddhi!

Leo was incredible with my dog, Rio, while I was out of town for a week. Our apartment manager even out of her way to let us know how wonderful he was! Would definitely recommend him to anyone, especially those with pups who need a little bit more attention and care. Thank you Leo!

This was my second time booking with Pei Hsuan and I felt fully at ease the second time around knowing my cat was in good hands. Pei Hsuan is wonderful, sent me lots of details and photos, and went above and beyond when she noticed potential hazards for my cat. My cat is also on the anxious side and quickly warmed up to her. Highly recommend!!

Victoria had been an absolute lifesaver!! She was able to step in last minute and help with my sweet pup:) I received lots of cute pictures and thorough updates. Roux even looked like he was smiling in one the pictures!! Haha We are so grateful and can’t wait to see you soon!
