About: I have been caring for a large variety of animals since I was 13, including dogs, cats, reptiles and small mammals. I have worked in various pet care positions including wildlife rehabilitation, animal educator, and pet care specialist. I have done volunteer work with local shelters and rehabilitation centers since I could work. I am known within my community as the "animal girl" and am frequently contacted for advice, care, and pet sitting. I am fairly new to this app, but am definitely not new to caring for any kind of animal big or small. I currently work at Stony Brook University mon-fri 9am-1pm. The rest of my days are usually open and able to be moved around to your schedule and needs! I currently do not offer services in my home as I have a dog who takes a while to warm up to strangers. Future opportunities may be available, but right now I am prioritizing her comfortability.
“I could not be happier with how Marianna took care of my cat. Kunkcles was well taken care of while I was away. Marianna did everything I asked. I will definitely return to her in the future if she is available.”
“Great with our pups!”
About: I work with dogs at a kennel and walk dogs everyday that I’m there. I am determined and hard working as well. I want to make sure you and your dog are happy. I’ve been working at a dog kennel for almost 2 years, and I have a lot of experience with walking dogs. I’m working full time at the kennel currently, and I walk a lot of dogs throughout each day. Dog walking has became something that is a part of my daily routine. I have a lot of pets at home, and I work with dogs as well. I know how to properly walk a dog to make sure they are safe.
“Brianna is great! She came for a drop in to let our dogs out & to feed them. She followed all of our instructions, and the dogs were happy to see her! She came for a introductory visit before I booked her, and I can tell she loves animals. Looking forward to our next visit! Thanks again!”
“Thanks to Nadine I was able to go on vacation with peace of mind! A very caring person with a instant connection with my cat !”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 5 years old. That includes dogs, cats, lizards, snakes. I love them all. They love me. I can cover most days and evening needs. I have the needed transportation to meet your needs. I am ready to help you any way I can. I can care for your pets needs in your home or my apartment. I am flexible in doing whatever is required to meet your needs
About: From fish and frogs and hamsters to dogs and cats I have had and also taken care of many different animals. I had a yellow lab growing up for 17 years and she was mine and my family’s whole world. Now I spend my time taking care of friends pets when they are away and my neighbors two adorable cats. One of which was adopted as an outdoor stray so he sometimes comes over to my house for some food, belly rubs, and a nap. I was always the go to person for my neighbors for pet sitting and I hope to expand my services and love for animals to a wider range. I work as a chemistry teacher and do not currently have a Summer job so my availability is flexible. There are times where I may have other obligations so clear and advanced communication is greatly appreciated! I am available to visit 1-4 times a day and happy to go for walks twice a day. I will typically visit morning/early afternoon to later afternoon/early evening. But I can stop by at different times if needed such as for specific feeding or medicine times. From past experience I know that every animal is different in both personality and needs. Whether that is feeding at certain times, certain food preparation, or just having a calm demeanor. Just like being a teacher, I am accommodating and would love to provide proper care for each individual animals needs. I also check and double check any directions and will make sure to provide the care that your pet needs.
About: What sets me apart is my ability to blend genuine care with adaptability. I’m attuned to each pet's unique personality and needs, whether they’re energetic or shy. I also prioritize clear communication with pet owners, keeping them updated with photos and notes after every visit. My commitment is to create a stress-free, fun experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. i always make sure my pets have plenty of exercise and are always attended to whenever i'm taking care of my pets i make sure they're loved and that they feel safe but most importantly they're having a good time with me.
About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds and pets for years. I have been entrusted by neighbors, family, and friends to care for their pets' specific needs and wants. No request is too big or small to provide for the joy returned to me whether it's my own fur babies or yours. I have time at the moment to help as many pets as possible. I can try my best to accommodate whatever time you may need. I am unable to host pets in my apartment. So while I miss my own pets back home, I can help some busy owners give some attention and enrichment to their pets.
About: I have always lived with pets, including dogs and cats. I am responsible for walking, feeding, and taking out dogs of all sizes. I love to make animals feel loved, youthful, and happy. I’m currently a full time student during the fall and spring. I work part-time in the summer. I am available most nights of the summer and some days. I am willing to run around with wild pets, or comfort older/anxious dogs. I can bring toys for your dog to play with and treats for them to enjoy.
“Laura is absolutely amazing! Not only did she inform us of our baby but took the most amazing care of him! Wish I could give 10 stars! We will definitely be hiring Laura for the future!”

“I highly recommend Julia Goldstein for any pet-sitting or dog-walking position. She has cared for my golden retriever multiple times, and I’ve always been impressed with her reliability, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals. My dog absolutely adores her, and I always feel at ease knowing he is in good hands. Julia goes above and beyond to ensure pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Rover would be lucky to have her!”

Danielle W.
“If you are in need of a carer for your pets, look no further. I have known Danielle for over a decade and in that time I saw her care for her elderly dog, befriend a neighborhood cat who now visits almost daily, and saw her interact with my own animals. The care she gave to her elderly dog is how I want to be treated when I am up there in my years, the neighborhood cat at this point has basically adopted Danielle, and there is no one I would trust more than Danielle to take care of my adorable pup.”
Sasha K.
“Sasha loves dogs of all breeds and sizes. She is always responsible, respectful and trustworthy when walking dogs. While walking my dog, she was on time, friendly and able to accommodate to any requests. Sasha is always happy to help out a neighbor or friend who needs their dog(s) walked. No matter the time of day, she will be there with a smile on her face.”
Brian P.
“I have 5 dogs with my wife and I and Brian is always the first person I call when we need a dog sitter. My dogs love him and he always cares for my dogs like his own. There is never a problem when we're away and I know my dogs will be safe with him. It's hard to trust people to care for your dogs the same as you do but I feel Brian goes above and beyond to put my dogs first and give us peace of mind.”

We are very grateful with Steff. Our cat is quite shy with new people, and Steff had the patience and touch to make him feel comfortable. A great service, with daily updates. For sure we recommend her!
Steff was amazing! I booked her services while I was away in Egypt, and having her care for Mylo while I was on the other side of the world gave me so much peace of mind. She was responsive, reliable, and did her best to bond with my skittish cat. I really appreciated the updates and photos of him too. Highly recommend and will book her again in the future! ❤️
