“Dahn stayed at our house with our pups while we were out of town for 2 nights. We felt very comfortable with Dahn here and everything was exactly how we left it. More importantly she took great care of our dogs and sent constant updates and pictures. Our Marley gets scared when it’s storms and there was a storm while we were gone. Dahn gave her extra love and made sure she felt safe! We will definitely use Dahn again and would highly recommend her”

About: Hello I am Lily and I’ve been around pets my whole life! I grew up in NYC with three dachshunds (Dexter, Waffles, and Eloise) and now share my home in Branford with two playful cats (Napoleon,and Josephine). Living with so many pets over the years has taught me how much they mean to their families, and I always treat every animal with the same love and care I give my own, like family. By day, I work as a lawyer, but in the evenings and on weekends I dedicate my time to caring for animals. Whether it’s walking, sitting, or just keeping your pets company, my priority is making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and flexible with weekend availability. If you’re looking for someone responsible who will treat your pets like their own, I’d love to help! I do have restrictions in the times that I am free to help out. I am a full-time student in my senior year of high school. Therefore, I am only available after-school hours and on weekends to help out. However, if your building is in gramercy, I can help out during my lunch hour since my school is on 22 and Lexington. In addition, I am unable to have pets stay at my apartment, however, I am available to spend the night at the owner's apartment to help out, if necessary. II look forward to hearing from you and to meeting your dog! Care fits into my routine by combining check ins with quality time. Evenings on weekdays and anytime on weekends for feedings, walks, playtime - no matter the length of tome - are all scheduled around my work and personal life to ensure your pet gets the attention, care and companionship it needs. I make sure they feel safe comfortable and loved, giving plenty of attention and love and keep their environment clean and secure by following the owners rules and pets routines when it comes to feedings, bathroom breaks, walks, and playtime. I also communicate with owners regularly to update on how their fur babies are doing.

“Courtney was a great house/dog sitter for us! She was prompt, professional, eager and enthusiastic. She took great care of our dog, taking her out for multiple walks and play-times each day. Gogo was a happy pup when we returned home! We’ll definitely book Courtney again in the future!”


“I was so impressed with Heather. She did a great job with my two furbabies (two small dogs). I was so nervous to leave them, but she took excellent care of them. She was commmunicative and responsive the entire stay. My younger dog can struggle to warm up to new people, but she was incredible with him- he clearly liked her a lot. Heather was also flexible about changing the booking dates around so that I could spend more time with my dying parent. It meant the world to me to be able to spend an extra day at home. She also kept the apartment clean and tidy and even washed the sheets for me. I was so grateful and appreciative for Heather’s help with my dogs while I was away. Would definitely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”


“Veronica was amazing! She took excellent care of our pup and was very communicative. Cooper was very well cared for and we felt at-ease leaving him with Veronica, even when he had some special needs and required extra attention/help. We would highly recommend her for any pet care!”


“Jen is our preferred dog walker and for good reason. She's very personable and trust worthy. Brooklyn (our dog) is a fan of hers and we look forward to her caring for him in the future.”


“Elizabeth left our house very tidy and our pets very happy! I really liked that she sent updates and pictures to let us know how everything was going. She answered my questions and check-ins quickly.”


“Rachel watched our 2 dogs and home for a week. We were very happy on our return. Our puppies were well cared for and she left our house very clean. We'll definitely use her again!”


“Olivia did a wonderful job house sitting and caring for our two cats. One of our cats is older with a few health issues and he gets pills twice a day in addition to a specific feeding schedule. Olivia was so excellent at keeping our kitty on his schedule and also keeping us informed along the way. Our house was in perfect condition when we got home and our kitties were happy & healthy! I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone!”


“Took care of our house and our baby perfectly! We always love updates and Amber was on top of that the whole weekend. Complete with pictures ☺️ Highly recommend booking for her for your next walk or pet-sit needs!”


“Daniella stayed at our house for 2 weeks to take care of our 2y old golden coco. She was amazing both taking care of coco and with our home. She was very communicative and caring. Will definitely look to her for future travels.”



“I am so grateful that Annee and I have found Jeanne. Annee will be 10 at the end of the month and the older she gets the more she enjoys staying at home. Jeanne is reliable, trustworthy, kind, and loves dogs with all of her heart. I love getting photos when I am away from Annee. I always come home to a happy, healthy dog.”


About: What Sets me Apart? Love, Experience, and Trust. I'm just not a dog walker — I'm a lifelong animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. We know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust when you can’t be there. What makes me different is simple: I lead with care. I don’t rush through walks or treat this like a numbers game. Every dog I work with gets our full attention, patience, and affection — because that’s what they deserve. I take the time to learn your dog’s routines, quirks, and comfort zones. Whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and sensitive, I adjust to their needs and make sure they feel safe, understood, and happy while you’re away. This isn’t just a service — it’s a relationship built on trust, reliability, and compassion. Because when you leave your dog with someone, you’re not just handing over a leash — you’re handing over peace of mind. And I take that seriously. Hi there! I’m available for pet sitting after 3:30 PM on weekdays and open on weekends. I work full-time during the day but make your pet’s care a top priority when I’m off. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate care in the afternoons or weekends, I’d love to help! Caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—is something I take to heart. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care based on their routine, needs, and personality. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, play, and rest. In a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible, keeping pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar space. My focus is always on making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for, just like family.
