Xiaoying is literally the best person for the job. She went up and above with caring for our 3 kitties. It was our first trip away and for a 2 week period so we were very nervous about leaving them alone. We have a 17yr old male senior cat with specific dietary needs and two 4 yr old male and female cats who need lots of play and attention. We booked her for the morning and evening and she played with them, fed them and cleaned their litter boxes. Our lil Luna is very wary of strangers but she loved Xiaoying and even gave her head bumps. We received detailed reports and so many pictures which we loved! The best sitter!!!

Charlie has been amazing with my dog Oliver. He walks him during the day and is always reliable, attentive, and caring. I can tell Oliver genuinely enjoys his time with him, which gives me peace of mind while I’m busy. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Charlie makes it effortless. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and kind dog walker.

About: I really pay attention to each pet’s routine and the little things they do like their body language, energy level, and what makes them feel comfortable or stressed. I try to keep everything as close to their normal schedule as possible so they feel safe and settled, even when their owner isn’t home. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly schedule because I’m available Monday through Saturday. I make time each day for walks, check-ins, and any care pets need. I stay flexible so I can follow each pet’s routine and keep them comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I always focus on making pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable whether I’m in my home or the client’s home. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible like feeding times, walks, play, and anything specific the owner asks for. When I’m in a client’s home I respect their space and keep everything clean and secure. I always double check doors and gates to make sure the pet stays safe. I also pay close attention to how the pet is acting so I can tell right away if they need something or seem uncomfortable. My goal is to keep things stress free so pets feel relaxed and owners feel confident their pet is being well cared for.

As always, Katherine was very attentive and Arlo loved to have her visit! We booked her for a few visits over a week span. Our kitty loves to play with her and get some scratches and attention while we are gone. She does great with all instructions and spends quality time with him. This was our third or fourth time booking her, and we will book again in the future!

Judith L was a very conscientious and considerate cat sitter for me. She was punctual and aware of what I had requested for care of my two cats. She sent pictures and updates for each visit, so I wouldn't worry about my cats while I was away. I would highly recommend her. She even brought in late deliveries for me. A five star rating is not high enough for her. Thank you, Judith!

About: I am a full-time educator looking for some part time work. Im introverted so I spend loads of time at home with the fur babies. On weekdays I will be out from 7am-5pm most days. Weekends will be dependent on scheduled boarding and any pre-scheduled compromises. Pleask ask for accommodations. I have a very gentle, shy 1 year old cat. At home, I have a gate that can try to separate them as much as possible. At a client’s home, that will be dependent on the needs of the owner and animal companion.

About: Hi, I’m a pet sitter based in New York City offering calm, attentive, and highly reliable in-home pet care. I provide a steady, low stress presence for pets who thrive on routine, familiarity, and gentle attention while their owners are away. My approach is quiet, consistent, and detail-oriented, focused on maintaining your pet’s normal rhythm so they feel secure in their own environment. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of varying temperaments, including pets who are shy, sensitive, or accustomed to more structured care. I take time to understand each pet’s behavior, preferences, and routine so care feels seamless and familiar. Clients can expect clear communication, timely updates, and thoughtfully documented check-ins with photos so you always feel connected and informed while traveling. I also take great care in respecting your home. Maintaining a clean, orderly space and ensuring everything is exactly as you left it. Whether you need overnight care, drop-ins, or extended stays, my goal is simple: your pet remains comfortable, your home remains respected, and you travel without concern. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! Warm regards, Nellie I offer flexible availability for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, as well as weekend care and select overnight stays. I’m also available for last minute bookings when possible and respond quickly to messages to keep scheduling simple and reliable. My goal is to provide steady, dependable care that fits your pet’s routine and your travel plans. I prioritize a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet I care for. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, and any medications, while paying close attention to their behavior and comfort level. Dogs are always securely leashed on walks, and cats are never forced into interaction, they’re cared for on their terms. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and mindful of security at all times. You’ll receive regular photo updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Xiaoying took great care of our cat during a week of drop-in visits. She gave us peace of mind by sending LOTS of photos after every visit. She consistently fed our cat, refreshed the water, cleaned the food and water dishes, and spent time playing with her. We came home to a happy cat and would definitely book Xiaoying again!

Jennifer was fantastic—even our most bashful cat, who had to be allowed to eat in the bedroom on her first day, was showing up to greet Jen at the front door by the end of her gig. We got plenty of photos from each session, and they were happy and full of energy when I finally came home. I would definitely ask her to take care of our cats again!
