“Max is amazing! And Jackson adores him! Max recently came by for a drop in visit. He arrived on time and was able to take Jackson on a much-appreciated walk. Then he spent time playing with Jackson and giving him one of his favorite biscuits!! Max kept me updated on how things were going so I didn’t worry. Great communication. I knew Jackson was in good hands. Max is very dependable and I am so grateful that I found him. He will definitely be coming back to watch Jackson!”

Thank you soo much.”

About: I have worked with dogs since I was in middle school. I currently am in the process of getting my dog grooming license and work at an animal shelter at the moment. I have experience with large dogs to small dogs, scared and nervous dogs, Mouthy and jumpy dogs, walking strong pulling dogs, administering medication and Grooming! I am just looking to fill my free time doing something I love and passionate about! I’m currently working part-time at an animal shelter and I just received my dog grooming license. I am flexible with my schedule and only work 3 days a week. I would follow all of the instructions the owner has left. Provide your dog with enrichment, treats and walks. If your puppy is scared or anxious I will sit with them, spending the time trying to gain their trust so it’s a positive experience for both parties involved!
“An excellent experience. We have never felt comfortable having anyone come to the house but Khrys has been amazing, thorough and most importantly was sweet to our cats. I could not recommend her enough.”
“Samantha was great! She took the time to meet with us before her visits to make sure everything was in order and sent great updates and pictures each day. She was flexible and even able to add on an extra day when our plans changed. Would definitely use her again in the future.”

“Charlotte was amazing! This was an excellent 1st experience and she made it so easy and comfortable. She watched my 3 year old cat and I could tell he was able to get comfortable with his surroundings. When it was time to pick him up he didn’t even want to leave and gave me a hard time putting him in his carry on. Her apartment was clean and spacious. She was so responsive and always sent me pictures without needing to ask. I will make sure to book with her again! Thank you again for everything!!”

“Ralph was absolutely amazing! He was super punctual and went above and beyond every single visit—playing with my cats, changing their water daily, cleaning their litter boxes, and sending me the sweetest photo updates each time. He even fed the stray cat that visits my backyard, which I thought was so kind. He was polite, thorough, and very respectful of my apartment, which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend Ralph to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and I’ll absolutely be booking him again in the future!”

About: Hi I’m Abby! I’m so excited to take care of any animals, big or small! I actually have a little experience with dog training through school, as well as taking care of my own pups! I have taken care of cats and dogs basically my whole life, and as a college student I miss my animals a ton! I would love to take care of any animals as needed! I’m currently a college student at Farmingdale State so my hours vary. I would be free early in the morning before 9:00am, in the afternoon my schedule will vary but I am generally available anytime from 12:00-5:00, in the evening anytime after 8:00. Since I am in college my schedule will always change depending on what you are needing! Since I am in college I am unable to board any dogs at the moment, but i am able to care for your dogs in any way needed. This would include stop in visits, going on daily walks, or even over night stays. Whatever service is needed I will be able to accommodate with whatever needs you have.
“Lauren was great! She sent me pictures and video of Cleo when she dropped in to feed & play with her. Will definitely recommend and have her sit for Cleo in the future!”
About: I’ve shared my life with animals of all shapes and sizes, from parrots and hedgehogs to my own beloved dogs and cats. Years of shelter volunteering and working on basic obedience with rescue dogs have taught me how to read animal body language and provide a calm, steady presence. I pride myself on maintaining a clean, organized home where your pet's comfort and safety are always the top priority. Puppy Daycare** smaller socialization groups, frequent potty breaks to re-enforce good housebreaking habits, basic household "manners" taught in a family setting. I can help you get through the puppy blues! Please note: I try my best to keep my calendar as up to date as possible but please verify dates and times with me - whether my calendar says I'm available or not - sometimes things change. I also limit the amount of pets I'm caring for at any given time depending on personalities and needs. I primarily from home in the evenings 2–3 times a week, which allows me to provide constant, attentive care and plenty of playtime for your best friend. Even on my busier days, I am always home and fully available in the afternoons to ensure every pet in my care feels loved, supervised, and right at home. I believe in choice-based care, ensuring your best friend feels right at home in a way that suits their routine. Your pet will enjoy the security of a cozy, dedicated den equipped with pens and crates if needed for puppies undergoing housebreaking or anxious pups who need extra security. Confident and adventurous pups are welcome to free roam in a spacious pet-friendly den. I also have a fully fenced in backyard and outdoor pen for puppies. My goal is to provide a warm, family-style setting where your pet can enjoy afternoon play, snuggles, and the company of my own friendly puppy and cat.
“Diego was absolutely amazing with my cat, Tito! From the moment we connected, he was professional, kind, and clearly very experienced with pets. He took the time to understand Tito’s routine and personality, and I felt completely at ease leaving my fur baby in his care. I received regular updates and adorable photos, and I could tell Tito was comfortable and well-cared for the entire time. I highly recommend Diego to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience raising and training a puppy, giving me patience and expertise in leash manners, socialization, and potty training. I tailor each walk to a dog’s needs, whether they need high-energy play, gentle strolls, or extra reassurance. My background in caregiving makes me reliable, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. Additionally, I have experience handling anxious or shy dogs, making me a great choice for pets that need extra patience and understanding. Every walk with me is fun, engaging, and full of tail wags! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks or visits. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, with some advance notice. I balance my own puppy’s routine with pet care, ensuring I have dedicated time to focus on each pet I care for. Let me know what works best for you, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment in my home where every furry guest gets personalized attention and care. My home is set up for comfort, with designated spaces for play, rest, and meals. Since I have a puppy, I ensure all pets are properly introduced, and I tailor care to each pet’s needs—whether that’s playtime, quiet relaxation, or extra supervision. I follow feeding and care routines closely, keeping owners updated so they feel at ease. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home!
“Bella was fantastic! She was so kind and I could tell how much she loves animals just from speaking to her. Seeing her interact with my babies definitely comfirmed that for me :) she is great with small animals; my guinea pigs loved her and she knew what she was doing with them. She is knowledgeable and willing, going above and beyond for me and my girls! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!!!”

About: I’ve had the joy of working with animals for over 10 years, and caring for them truly makes me happiest. I’ve worked as a dog groomer, gained hands-on experience in veterinary settings, and provided pet sitting and dog walking services for so many wonderful pets and their families. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, reptiles, bunnies, and animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I absolutely love dogs, every breed, every quirk, every goofy smile and I genuinely love all animals with my whole heart. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

“I asked Naomi to help me out last minute this weekend. She was very sweet and has a lot of experience with animals! She took great care of my kitties while I was away for a day. I highly recommend!”

Time and time again Maya has gone above and beyond to meet her client's needs. I had an unexpected 10+ day hospital stay. I called Maya that day and she accommodated all my needs. My cats adore her. She sends videos/pics/updates. Because of Maya, my hospital stay was less stressful knowing my babies were being cared for. She's so reliable, professional and truly cares about the pets she takes on. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤️

Ariana was an absolute gem of a cat sitter! From the moment we connected, she was attentive, responsive, and incredibly kind to our cats. It’s clear she has experience with animals—she understood their needs, respected their routines, and gave them genuine affection and care. When our travel plans unexpectedly changed, Ariana didn’t hesitate to step in and extend her time with them. Her flexibility and reliability gave us real peace of mind. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Ariana to anyone looking for someone who truly loves and understands animals!
