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!
“Amanda was magnificent- so professional and personable. She was completely communicative, attentive to our dog and her needs, and really overall went the extra mile for her. Could not recommend more highly!”

I have experience helping friends and family care for their pets, including feeding, playtime, and basic routines. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets! I’m available on most weekdays after school and have more open availability on weekends.

I can provide active play as well. I have a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with a fenced outdoor deck that offers a safe and private space for your pet to relax.

“Chelsea was amazing and took great care of Lars. Their communication and responsiveness put me at ease and comfort while I was away. Highly recommend booking with Chelsea!”

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 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: Over the course of my life, I grew up with a Dalmatian, beagle, lab mix, pointer mix, and blue staffy. I am equipped at feeding, walking, and gently playing with dogs. I am available in the early mornings and early evenings after work until night for dog services during the work week. I am flexible on weekends and able to work around your schedule. I understand what it means to have a dog and respect owners' instructions for their pet. For walking, the dog's safety is a top priority for me.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart! With 10 years of experience caring for pets, I understand how important it is to make every furry friend feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Whether it’s going for walks, feeding, playing, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet with the same love and care I would give my own. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities! I work Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, so I am available for pet care in the evenings after work. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am fully available throughout the day for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I am also open to overnight stays when the pet’s needs and schedule allow. I always make sure every pet receives plenty of love, attention, and reliable care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I am happy to coordinate visits and walks based on your pet’s needs and my availability.

I make sure pets are supervised, treated with patience and kindness, and feel safe in their environment.

“Ariel is amazing with both my girls so far! Today was our first meeting so we combined a meet and greet with a neighborhood walk. I was able to discuss in detail about what triggers my sweet but reactive dogs have and Ariel’s shared her knowledge and experience with me as well. Taking over the leashes from me as I walked I could see how careful and conscientious she is! It’s evident that Ariel loves dogs and I am so excited that she will be working with us! And my dogs are over the moon about it!”
“Solace has become our go-to for looking after our cat when we are out of town. She always showers him with lots of love and sends pictures and updates that make my day when I need to be away from home.”

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!

Vanessa is the best! I’m super protective of my Munchkin, and I genuinely couldn’t have left him in better hands. She sent me tons of pictures and videos throughout my trip, along with detailed updates on how he was doing, what he ate, his mood, and everything in between. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being so well taken care of. I’m so grateful to have found her and will DEFINITELY be reaching out to her again whenever I travel. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

I needed a sitter for my two dogs, Beasley and Birdie, over several days with very little warning, and Chelsea came through beautifully. She took wonderful care of both pups, sent daily photos, and made sure they had everything they needed while we were away. I felt completely at ease, and her flexibility and care were truly appreciated. I highly recommend her!
Thank you, Catherine, for taking such good care of Penny and Piggy! She was available on short notice and is very responsible, communicating every step of the way and following all my (excessive) instructions! Will definitely be asking her to drop in again.
