Pet Sitting East Bayside-India Street

“Julia was great with my cat Frankie who usually dislikes everyone but me, which made the 10 days I was away so much less stressful! Julia sent daily updates and photos and I was so happy to see how well Frankie was doing with her. I definitely look forward to booking with Julia again in the future.”

“She was very helpful. She gave my cat his medicine while I was out of time and kept him company. I really like the communication and photos she sent of my boy.”

“I really appreciated Lauren's care for our cat Mimi while we were away. I felt at ease knowing that she was in good hands in our absence. Leaving your pet can be nerve-wracking, but Lauren made sure to keep me updated on how Mimi was doing and made sure to give her adequate playtime during visits. I highly recommend.”

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and caregiver with experience across a wide range of animals. Dogs have always been at the heart of my life—I currently own a senior dog named Ralphie, and my last four dogs were all adopted as seniors. I’m very comfortable with walking, feeding, administering medications, and following detailed care routines, especially for older pets. I also grew up in an extremely pet-centric household. At one point, my family cared for five dogs and four cats at the same time, so I’m very familiar with busy, multi-pet environments and the structure required to keep everyone healthy and happy. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve helped care for fish (both freshwater and saltwater), reptiles and lizards, rodents, and birds, and I understand that each species has unique needs, routines, and sensitivities. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of the fact that pet parents care deeply about how their animals are treated. My goal is simple: provide reliable, thoughtful care so your pets feel safe and comfortable—and you feel confident while you’re away. Please note that I also carry liability insurance above and beyond what is already offered under Rover’s guarantee policy. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m currently in between jobs, which gives me open and flexible availability for walks, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the day. I enjoy building my schedule around pets’ routines rather than squeezing them into limited windows. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits, as well as last-minute requests when needed. I value reliability and consistency, and I like knowing I can give pets my full attention without rushing. When caring for pets, I work exclusively in my client’s home, where pets are most comfortable and routines stay consistent. I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding, walking, medications, and household rules, and I’m very mindful of maintaining your space exactly as you left it. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure, double-check medications and feeding instructions, and remain attentive to any changes in behavior or health. I take a calm, respectful approach—especially with senior pets or animals who may be anxious or shy. I understand that trust is essential when someone is caring for your pet in your home. I communicate clearly, provide updates as requested, and treat both your pet and your space with care, responsibility, and respect.

“So thankful for Mo! One of our cats was recently diagnosed with diabetes, and we weren't sure if we could keep our travel plans because he requires extra care. But Mo was great! She eased our minds about being away and was a total pro. Thank you!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about our pet sitter Jesika She took incredible care of my 16-year-old, 5-pound Yorkie and treated her with the gentleness and attention she truly needs at her age. She walked her, fed her, spent quality time with her, and made sure she was always comfortable. Her communication was outstanding — she kept me updated constantly, sending messages and photos so I never had to worry. She was respectful, reliable, and genuinely caring from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, I absolutely recommend Jesika. She went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she gave me.”

“Justine watched our two cats while we were away for Thanksgiving. She was very responsive and updated us with pictures and a note after each visit. We really appreciated her flexibility and attentiveness over the holiday!”

Grant M.

“Lindsay was so fabulous! Super easy to communicate with and provided great updates and photos. Our cat Charlie can tend to be nervous around new people but he warmed up to Lindsay right away and seemed to love her. We’ll definitely book with her again:)”

Meaghan B.

“We had a 5-star experience with Madeleine. From the get-go, her communication was clear and proactive. And she was very quick with follow ups. We had no doubts our dogs were well cared for, and we'd definitely have her sit for us (them) again. ; )”

“We had the pleasure of having Barbara watch our 8 month old kitten! To help with the separation, Barbara sent daily pictures and messages. Very kind and thoughtful, highly recommend!!”

“Katey is an all star! Even when a health complication for our cat occurred right before we left for vacation she was able to help us handle it. We returned to 2 happy kitties.”

“Betsy was fantastic!! Her loving care of my precious Bubba allowed me to have peace of mind while I was away working a long shift. 5 stars!”

About: Animals have always been the center of my world, from growing up with pets to pet-sitting countless dogs and cats across NYC. My two cats, August and Ivy, are the absolute loves of my life - My goal is simple: to provide your beloved pets with the exact same high standard of care, safety, and affection that my own two companions receive at home. I work in the office 3 days a week, but I have an hour for lunch and live only 7 min from my office. If close enough I will be able to check in midday as well as morning and after work. I have a fenced yard, though my cats are indoor only I have taken care of my neighbors dogs and enjoy playing fletch for round after round after round. I am organized and will have notes based on what you need for each drop in, will supply pictures, be there on time and stay the whole time. Having used rover myself I know how integral these things are!

“Sera was amazing!! She watched my cat for three weeks while I was on vacation, she was very thoughtful and attentive and my cat loved her! She always sent lots of cute pictures and updates for each visit, which I really appreciated. My cat has asthma and needs an inhaler and Sera was very open to and did a great job learning how to give the inhaler! She left my apartment very neat and I came back to a happy cat, would absolutely recommend Sera as a cat sitter!!”

About: Animal lover with flexible schedule, calm and patient energy. I'm very active so available for long walks or runs! Always attentive to details and specifics for each pet in my care. I'm a full-time creative (painter and graphic designer), so I enjoy setting my own schedule and can easily accommodate to your pet's needs during various times of day. I can work remotely and this allows me to be available more often. I am comfortable learning each pet's needs in their home environments, and adjusting to what makes them feel most comfortable. Happy to come to you so that your pet can experience their typical daily routines.

“Can’t say enough about Jackie! We feel very lucky to have her take care of our fur baby! He is an anxious sweet boy who needs someone to be understanding and patient. Jackie was all those and more! She is very profesional, attentive and an overall nice person. With the pics she sent we could tell that our guy was calm and happy around her. Which was such a relief! Highly recommend!”

“Marna was great. Our three dogs loved her. She was caring, on time, and professional. Marna came over a few days before to meet our dogs and get info needed to care for them while we were gone. I would definitely try to book her again when we go away again, if she is available.”
