“Alexandra was great! She accommodated our last-minute request and took excellent care of our two cats. Reliable, caring, and easy to communicate with. We’d definitely book her again.”

“Giana was great! She took care of our two pups for 3 days while we were out of town and was great with communication. One of our dogs is more skittish and people shy and Giana was very patient and willing to try all the tricks to get her outside. I would book Giana again!”

“Carly was amazing! Very detailed updates, lots of pictures, while taking care of our sweet girl. Proactive communicator from start to finish! We will be booking with her again!”

“Brandi was absolutely wonderful with our three cats during the seven days we were away. Each of our cats has a very unique personality, and she took the time to understand and accommodate their different needs for pets, playtime, and supplements. She kept the litter boxes fresh, the water bowls topped up, and even wiped down the counters for us. She easily navigated our tricky parking situation and was thoughtful enough to offer to water our plants while we were gone. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave them. Highly recommend!”

“Angela is great with dogs. My puppy loved her. She took her on a walk and Rocky did great. Angela was on time and personable and she is a natural around dogs. And she is such a nice person too. Highly recommend her.”

“Lindsey S. did a great job looking after our 13-year-old kitty for two weeks. From the pictures she sent, it looks like Louie was having a great time with her. We'll schedule Lindsey for our next trip soon!”

About: I've fed dogs based off their schedules that their owner informs me, walks with them, sometimes runs so they can get some more exercise. I am not a trainer, but I will give them attention and I love to follow the rules. I work full time in New York, so my availability can vary. I'm looking for a flexible schedule, sometimes can be steady in the weekday, depending on the month. I have a townhouse in Mill Hill area, and a park which is at the end of the block. I live by myself so I do not have housemates. I do not have a large yard, but I do dog sit for my best friend in New York at least once every other month.
“Sabrina is very gentle and loving with Susu, I've never seen my cat warm up so fast to a stranger. Sabrina also does an amazing job at effortlessly giving him his required medication, offering him treat rewards, and keeping him happy by giving him enough attention through pets and play time. She's great at making Susu feel less lonely and comfortable, with the way Susu loves sitting on her lap. Will definitely contact her again for future visits!”

“James was very attentive to all of our pups needs. He was also very flexible as some of our plans had changed on the fly. He was patient (Cash can be skittish) and made sure he was well taken care of. We would recommend James for any pet care needs!”

“Bri is such a great pet sitter, I feel so lucky we found her in our area. She is communicative, kind, fun, and super thoughtful when it comes to your furry friends. She brings a positive attitude to her visits and genuinely cares about the pets she works with. Her updates are thorough and timely and I have no complaints! We will continue to book with Bri.”

“Claire recognizes the traits and needs of our indoor cat and the stray we have been feeding for years. We appreciate her setting our minds at ease when we travel, since we know she is extremely responsible, observant, and affectionate.”

“Katie was wonderful with our cat Smoke. She provided great updates and pics every day to make us feel good about leaving him in her care. Food, water, litter, and play were all taken care of daily. Thank you Katie!”

“Clarissa was wonderful for drop in visits with my pup while we were away on vacation! Super thoughtful and punctual. Would recommend and we will be sure to book again when we need!”

“If you are looking for a dog sitter that truly cares about your loving family member then look no further Arassely is the person for the job! Our dog is nervous and Arassely help to make her feel comfortable and safe while we were gone. I would highly recommend her to all the animal lovers out there that are looking for peace of mind.”

“Brady did an excellent job caring for our pets while we were away. I was a little nervous leaving them since we recently moved and our German Shepherd Dog recently tore her CCL and this was their first visits with Brady. We had nothing to be concerned about though as Brady was so attentive and careful. She kept us in the loop with detailed reports, lots of photos and spent extra time giving love and attention to both our dog and our cat. We will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Karren has looked after my pets numerous times in her home and in mine and she has always done an excellent job. She communicates well and gives great updates on how the pets are doing.”

Highly recommended for a cat sitter! Ashley went above and beyond during her two week drop-ins for my two cats. She is very attentive and kept in touch with me immediately if she saw an issue at the house or had a concern about the cats themselves. Also, she handled the minor chores like mail and garbage easily AND she was kind enough to refill all of my backyard bird feeders during my time away. I will definitely use her again!

Giana always comes through in a pinch and follows instructions to a tee-i have three dogs with different needs and she was able to attend to all in a timely manner while being sure to go above and beyond and ask questions on where things were to clean messes. Thanks Gianna

Rhonda has been absolutely fantastic! She kept me informed and sent pictures through the 2 weeks. She was clearly invested in making sure both my pups were eating, getting snuggle time and the different levels of exercise they each require. If you are looking for a temporary dog mom to replace you - Rhonda is GOLD! We are truly grateful for her frequent communication, her ability to roll with any ‘hiccups’ (dog knocks over everything in the bay window;), and just genuinely get to know their personalities and cater to them. We cannot recommend Rhonda highly enough!

Rita did an amazing job caring for our 9-month-old anxious puppy, Figgy. She was so thoughtful, kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the day, and made Figgy feel safe and comfortable. We really appreciate her flexibility, especially as we just moved and needed extra support. No issues at all—looking forward to working with her again!
