Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, NY

“Amy was communicative and friendly and really made an effort with my cat Cotton even though he's shy with strangers at first. She responds quickly to sitter inquiries and leaves very thorough report cards. Would def book again!”

“Saturdays and Sundays are our longest days away from the house so we hired Wendy to come and break the time up for our three dogs by letting them out in the backyard to relieve themselves and just have some human contact. Two of our three dogs are not very sociable. Toby, for some unknown reason was being uncooperative but Wendy took it all in stride.”

About: I’ve taken care of puppies and dogs practically my whole life. From walking shelter dogs for school community service to watching after friends and family pets while they’re away, I have walked/fed/bathed all sorts loving boys and girls. I’ve also fostered puppies before they went off to their forever homes. I have experience in all types of care. I work from home on a pretty flexible schedule so I am able to walk your pet at any time of day or night and can board all throughout the week as long as I have notice. I like to take care of pets as if they’re my own and part of the family. Walks, fetch, snuggles, you name it. I have bowls and a crate available within my own home and capable of following any diet and/or exercise needs instructed by an owner.

“Melissa was very communicative and did everything my cats needed. She was in contact with me the whole time and even cleaned up. Highly recommend.”

About: What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet’s personality and needs while making them feel comfortable and cared for. For example, I regularly walk an energetic, playful puppy who needs both stimulation and calm guidance. I’m able to give him the attention he craves while helping him release his energy in a positive way. I’ve also walked a dog who typically never poops during the day, but after spending time with me, she felt relaxed and comfortable enough to start doing so on our walks, a small but meaningful sign of trust. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a shy senior, or a pet with unique habits, I focus on building trust, understanding their needs, and making every walk or visit safe, enjoyable, and tailored to them. I have a flexible schedule, with daily openings outside my mid-day walks. I’m available for pet care in the mornings, early afternoons, and some evenings each week. I care for every dog as if they were my own, making sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to their needs. I follow your instructions closely, whether that’s a favorite route, specific pace, or special commands. Along the way, I give plenty of attention, play, and positive reinforcement so your dog comes home happy, exercised, and relaxed.

“Lucy is fantastic. She went above and beyond taking care of our 2 cats. Everything was perfect when we came back. She even grabbed our packages for us. Can’t thank her enough and would def book her again.”

“Neshie is a very responsible person! She communicated with me proactively, came to check on my cat in advance, and asked about important things to note. My cat looks happy and well.”

About: I’ve taken care of a puppy that was new to the family. We practiced training everyday. I also take care of my friend’s pitbull when needed for a walk or play time and grooming. I have time to spend with new fluffy friends. This can be a great opportunity to go outside more and take a new pal with me every time. We can exchange important information I’ll need to know for their care like their behavior and favorite scratch spots. If they aren’t friendly towards other dogs or people knowing in advance is important.

“Melissa is a life saver!! My cat was in great hands with her taking care of him while I was away for a few days. She's kind and understanding and does a wonderful job.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was five. I like playing with them, long walks with them, taking pictures of them, sometimes just sitting with them in silence.

About: I'm a cat sitter with tons of experience helping stressed-out cats settle in after a move. No matter what the cat is, I can connect with them. Whether they’re super independent and like their space or total lovebugs who want all the cuddles and playtime — I vibe with all kinds of cat personalities. I work from home, so I’m around most of the time and can easily keep an eye on my little visitor, take care of his needs, and give him attention whenever he needs it. I don’t have any pets right now, but I want to. I live on the third floor in a spacious apartment with secure, mesh-covered windows — totally safe for cats.

About: I have taken care of my dog for over four years. I got her since she was two months old, so I have knowledge of how to take care of puppies. I am currently work from home except Thursday.

“Elias was a gem he took such good care of my baby girl while I was away doing my military duty. I wasn't able to take her this trip. He provided her with love and attention during my absence. I will definitely book him again. He is awesome ?”

About: I’m dependable and reliable, attention to detail is my jam and I’m comfortable walking with small and big dogs or taking care of cats, even if it takes a while to warm up to a stranger in their home/space! even the most prickly cats eventually get won over! I’m currently working part time and my schedule is flexible! I love being able to walk and get outside or stay indoors to hang out with cats and dogs! I live with a disabled cat so making sure the apartment is safe and cat-proofed is key, and when pet sitting I make sure all escape routes are secured, feeding times and walk times are kept to schedule, and that there’s always room for play time!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature. From raising my own cats since they were tiny kittens, to training and walking neighborhood dogs, to currently caring for a playful puppy, I’ve handled pets of all ages and personalities. I understand that every pet is unique, whether it’s giving a senior dog the gentle care they need, helping a puppy learn good habits, or making sure a cat feels comfortable and safe. My goal is always to treat your pets like my own- showered with love, attention, and patience. I’m currently a full-time LSAT student, which means I set my own study schedule and have plenty of free time throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to give pets consistent care, whether that’s daily walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or just keeping them company. I love having pets as part of my daily routine and it’s the perfect balance to my studying! When I care for pets in your home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your feeding schedule, walk times, and any special instructions so your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and attention, along with fresh water and a clean space.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and experience walking and caring for dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities. I always focus on safety, comfort and giving lots of love, whether it’s a long walk, playtime or keeping them company at home. Responsible, attentive and patient – I treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible during the week and on weekends, so I can easily fit in walks, drop‑in visits, and house sitting. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets naturally becomes one of the favorite parts of my day. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. For walks, I use a leash at all times and pay attention to safety. When staying at a client’s home, I respect their space, keep things tidy, and make sure pets get love, playtime, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel at ease.

About: I've been lucky enough to have dogs in my life since I was a kid. Our first dog was Charlie the Poodle, followed by several Pekinese pups Molly, Chang & Oliver. As a teenager I had a full blooded Chow Chow! (purple tongue!) Later in life I moved to NYC and unfortunately couldn't handle owning my own dog with a busy work schedule, but as time goes on and with a more relaxed work schedule, I know have the time to work with pups in my area! I do help out with my friends dogs at times. One in particular (Wendy the Boston Terrier) is a senior pup who requires special care. She's nearly 90% blind but you wouldn't know it by her tail wag! I work from home most days and would love to help pups in my community. I have a special bond with with them since i was a kid. I’ll treat your home like my own. I’ll respect your space and follow your instructions clearly so we have a safe and comfortable pet session

“We are super thankful for Shay & her amazing care of our cat Jeter. She is caring, attentive & responsive. She provided us with peace of mind while we were away. 100% rebooking.”
