About: Hi! I’m Ariana, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up in a home full of pets, and I’ve been pet sitting for friends, family, and clients for as long as I can remember. While I don’t currently have a pet of my own (for the first time in my life!), I’d love to share my time, attention, and care with yours. I live alone in a spacious, pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment in Forest Hills, and I work remotely—so I’m home most of the day with lots of flexibility to provide one-on-one care. Whether your pet stays with me or I come to you, I’m happy to help in whatever way makes them feel most comfortable. I’m also experienced with animals who need a little extra attention, whether that’s administering medication or working around anxiety and special routines. Reliable, responsible, and a true animal person—I’d love to meet your furry friend! I currently work remote, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for any of your pet sitting/walking needs! My schedule is open to give the best care I can to your beloved pets. When caring for a pet in my client’s home I am very respectful of their space and make taking care of your beloved pet my top priority.

She sent me updates and took great care of them. I would work with her again anytime and highly recommend!”

Ariana C.
“Ariana was an absolute lifesaver! I was heading out of town for a week for EDC and was super nervous about leaving my 6-month-old Corgi, Astro, for the first time, but Ariana completely put my mind at ease. She stayed at my apartment in Long Island City for the full 4 days and treated Astro (and my space!) with so much care and respect. From day one, she made sure to follow Astro’s puppy schedule—feedings, walks, crate time, potty breaks, play sessions—you name it. She even helped reinforce some of his training while I was away. Ariana sent me daily updates, photos, and videos of Astro having the best time, so I loved seeing Astro do his usual thing: zooming around the apartment, cuddling, following her around everywhere, and just being his goofy self. Knowing he was in such great hands let me actually enjoy my trip without constantly worrying. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, communicative, and genuinely great with pets, I can’t recommend Ariana enough. Astro can’t wait to hang with her again!”

Lenin was great with our dog and regularly updating with information, photos and videos. Highly recommend!
Abby did a wonderful job looking after my two rather sensitive felines. My cat Colette, in particular, has become a very finicky eater and I was so appreciative of Abby’s patience and care. My kitties are already looking forward to having Abby come to stay again this fall.
Andrea is great! Personable, caring, and great with our kittens. She sends pictures and updates regularly and really is just wonderful to work with.
Stephen always goes above and beyond. Always! We so appreciate the attention and care he gives to Una when we’re away. He sends the best pics and offers clear updates when needed. He’s the best!
She was amazing and such a life saver after the first sitter cancelled last minute! She did took great care and sent lots of pictures, and kept good company for my pup until I came back!
I could not be more happy with Alyssa’s services. She cat sat for my 7 month old kittens during the July 4th weekend for 5 days. She kept in touch with me everyday on the status of my kittens. She continuously sent me pictures multiple times per day and constantly assured me that my boys were healthy and doing well. Furthermore, she managed to bond with one of my shy kittens and kept me updated on how the progression of their connection. She ensured my kittens were fed in the morning and evening, and gave them treats throughout the day. Lastly, she made sure to play with my kittens throughout her stay, keeping them entertained throughout the cat sitting visit. If you need a cat sitter while going out of town, definitely hire Alyssa. She’s awesome!
This was our third time with Naomi watching our cat Oliver. She was such a trooper, and took care of him anyway even though she was sick. She’s responsible, communicative, and overall a great sitter!
Emily was amazing with our sweet Topanga! 🐾 She showed up right on time and connected with her right away. Emily made sure Topanga got plenty of walks and playtime — we came home to a calm, happy pup ready to curl up and snooze. 🐶💤 So grateful for her thoughtful care — we can’t wait to have her back! ✨
Tenzin took fantastic care of all of our pets. Our kitten had a surprise emergency and she handled his medication and care very well. It was clear that all of our pets love her. I would be happy to hire her again anytime!
Ryan was excellent. He took good care of my grumpy cat and dealt expertly with an apartment issue while I was away for almost 2 weeks. I highly recommend Ryan!
Cathy recently watched our cat and dog and also house-sat for us — she was amazing! Not only did she take wonderful care of our “kids,” but I think our apartment was actually cleaner than we left it. She sent lots of photos and updates, checked in regularly, and made sure we felt connected the whole time. Before the stay, she even offered to come by to see our place and meet the pets — they warmed up to her faster than they ever have with anyone new! We immediately felt at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Cathy clearly has a special connection with animals, and we’ll absolutely be using her again.
Arianna was fantastic with my three dogs! The dogs absolutely loved her, and there was a feeling of comfort knowing they were in her care. She was gentle, kind, patient, and sent regular updates with pictures. Arianna is highly recommended and we’d love to have her back again!
Raja was fantastic! He took great care of our energetic 1yr pup and looked over our place while we were gone for a long weekend. Highly recommend!
Marcos was great - very responsive and super helpful. He checked in often to let me know how my dog was doing, and I really appreciate him!
Katie is outstanding! She was very attentive, accommodating, and our fur baby loved spending time with her. Highly recommended!
Dagi was great! She arrived a little early as requested and was a great sitter for our anxious little pup.
Tashi was a total professional and our dog loved spending time with her. She came to our rescue with a very last minute booking for in home care and she took wonderful care of our golden retriever. Tashi is an excellent communicator and the perfect person to look after your fur baby. We couldn't recommend her more highly. Thank you Tashi!
We had Aaron hang out with Eloise and Kevin for the day & he was great with them. He showers them with love and cuddles and they are so comfortable with him. We came back to 2 happy pups.
