“Ariella took great care of my cat! I appreciated the daily updates. My extremely shy cat even came out to take a look at her, which shows she has a good vibe! I’d definitely hire Ariella again.”

“This was our first time using Rover. Theresa immediately put us at ease upon meeting her. She was an excellent communicator and made us feel comfortable leaving our baby in her care. She was responsive, professional, and positive in all communication. She left us clear and detailed reports so we didn't have to worry. Our easy going but reserved cat warmed up to her much faster than most! We highly recommend Theresa and very much hope to have her sit for our cat again!”

“Minyon us SUPER accommodating. Even with my hectic schedule and several emergencies at once, she understood and gave me grace through every step of the process. When my pups met her, they instantly fell in love with her. She sent videos and pictures every visit and made sure to take them on nice long walks... which my pups love. I would ABSOLUTELY book with Minyon again!”

About: I’ve had about 4 dogs. I’ve cared for, fed and walked. I love dogs of all kinds and they tend to love me back ! I’m a full time college student and part time worker. I’m available on some days of the week and always available on the weekends plus I’m very flexible and willing to work with my clients My pup is cared for very well we go on 3 walks a day he gets fed 3 meals a day and plenty of water.
About: I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, so I take the time to follow specific routines, dietary requirements, and any special instructions you provide. I have my own e-commerce business so my schedule is very flexible - I work from home all day, therefore I'm able to care for your dog or cat and be by their side caring for their daily needs. I take dogs on walks at least three times throughout the day. I'm very detail oriented so I'll listen to exactly how you want me to care for your dog or cat, if they have a strict diet or certain important needs special to them. I'll be prompt and on time so as to not interfere in the clients schedule. I'll love them like their my own!
About: I differentiate myself by offering specialized skills like administering medication, handling medical emergencies, and providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. Building trust through expertise and professionalism is key in communicating effectively in order to deliver the best possible care. Additionally, my own experience with my dog has also granted me the ability to understand and meet such needs as well as the emotional needs of any pet, and to establish a trusted relationship with both pet and owner! I am currently a per diem part-time nanny to a family in New Jersey while attending online college classes; however, the alignment of both schedules allows me the flexibility to include my passion for pet care! I am flexible and available most weekdays between 9AM-2PM and weekends between 10AM-7PM. My work experience in animal welfare in clinical and boarding facilities allows me to apply what I have learned into what I can do. As an overnight supervisor in a doggy daycare environment, pets are cared for by providing a safe and stimulating environment, ensuring their well-being, and offering socialization opportunities with other dogs. This includes activities such as playtime, walks, feeding, and monitoring their behavior whereas in a clinical setting, caring for pets involves monitoring vital signs, administering treatments, conducting medical procedures, and providing post-operative care. It also includes maintaining cleanliness, following strict protocols, and ensuring a comfortable environment for the animals. Although not as extensive in daycare or clinical facilities, in-home pet care allows for individualized attention where needed as needed without the external stressors of a constantly changing environment. In-home care involves the basics of pet welfare and includes providing food, water, exercise, and companionship. Additionally, administering medication, following specific care instructions, and maintaining a safe environment are crucial, all of which I can provide based on my background and experience.
About: I used to live with 5 dogs and take care of them, walk them twice a day and fed them with baked fresh meat. They are my mom’s dogs and I see them as my brothers I’m currently applying for pediatric residency training, so I’m available any time and I have a car to drive to destinations almost anywhere, thank you. I used to help my mom cake care if the dogs and cats, she works a lot so almost me doing everything about pets, walking them and take the youngest one to a training class.
About: With a genuine love for all animals, I've been caring for furry friends for over three years professionally here in the US. Back in Italy, my experience stems from caring for my own dogs, creating a deep understanding of the bond between pets and their owners. My services include feedings, baths, regular walks, and extra attention for senior dogs. Additionally, I have hands-on experience with senior dogs, providing them the extra attention they need, such as assistance with walking and more frequent potty breaks. Your furry friend isn't just another job for me; it's an opportunity to make sure they feel cherished, secure, and content. As I ease back into the workplace, my schedule is open and flexible, allowing ample time to prioritize and care for your pets daily. Your furry friends are a top priority in my routine, receiving not just attention but genuine companionship. Unfortunately, I can't board pets in my home, but I offer dedicated in-home sitting services. I prioritize your pet's well-being by maintaining their familiar routine, creating a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure their needs are met, from feeding and playtime to adhering to any specific requirements. Your pets can enjoy the coziness of their own space while receiving the care, attention, and respect they deserve.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Robert look after my cat, Aurora, while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the care he provided. From the moment we arranged the cat-sitting, Robert was professional, communicative, and very attentive to Aurora's needs. Robert checked in daily, sending me updates and photos of Aurora, which really put my mind at ease. His love for animals is evident, and Aurora warmed up to him quickly, which is no small feat as she can be quite shy around new people. He followed all my instructions perfectly, ensuring Aurora's feeding schedule was maintained and attention. I could tell that Aurora was in great hands and was being well-cared for while I was away. I highly recommend Robert for anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. His dedication and affection for animals make him an excellent choice, and I will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future. Thank you, Robert, for taking such great care of Aurora!”

“Bernadette was so kind and thorough while with my puppy. She sent me updates of what they did and I got a cute little photo! She knows my puppy is having an issue with one of her legs right now so she took her on a small walk just to get some energy out still and of course for potty. She communicated well with me throughout the hour. She is also so flexible with availability! I would highly recommend booking her for your puppy or adult dog:)”

About: What sets me apart is my mix of professional experience and love for animals. I worked at a grooming facility for 2 years, where I learned how to safely handle dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, keep them comfortable, and pay attention to little details that matter for their care. This past summer, I also had the chance to travel to Australia, where I got to experience wildlife and animal care from a whole new perspective. That experience strengthened my passion for working with animals and taught me how important patience and consistency are in giving them the best care. Whether it’s energetic puppies or older dogs that need extra gentleness, I bring both skill and heart to every pet I look after. I am a 4th year part-time Pre-Vet student at Tuskegee University so I am not available on Mondays and Thursday's. But I am available every other day in the afternoon and most mornings! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with two other pre-vet students, so your baby will always be surrounded by animal lovers! There’s plenty of space for walks and play, plus access to a pool if your pup enjoys swimming 🤿. And for cats, I create enrichment activities or give them cozy spots to relax 😎. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets stay safe, happy, and on their usual routine with plenty of love and attention.
About: I have been caring for dogs ever since I can remember and in particular I started caring for them professionally around 5 years ago. I have yet to meet a dog I could not handle, even ones that people would call big and scary. I believe this comes from a firmly held belief that if you treat a dog right, they will stand by you forever. I am experienced with dogs from young to old, small to large, and docile to super hyper. I attempt to accommodate any and all requests to the best of my abilities. In addition I would be more than happy to meet a prospective client free of charge before watching their pet. In general, I am available nightly starting at 7 PM except for Fridays where I am unavailable. Wednesday nights and the Saturday nights I am available from 9:30 PM and onwards. Sundays, I am available all day. In general, I do not watch dogs in my own home. In regards to the pet Owner’s home I do whatever I can to accommodate all safety requests and needs.
About: I’ve worked at the Brooklyn zoo and aquarium in Brooklyn as a teen. Then worked my way to volunteering at my local animal shelter. I’ve always had a love for animals. Now I foster dogs and cats till they find their forever homes. Even family and friends ask me to watch their pets on occasion. I’ve done dog walking and boarding for many years now as well and I would love to continue to provide for animals rain or shine. I currently work from home so the most I leave for are some social events here and there or groceries. I have transportation if pick up and drop off is needs as well. I have a gated yard around my apartment. There grass and all the other animals in the building run around and use the property. I provide at least three walks/potty breaks a day, take time to train and reward. I’ve giving medication and baths on request as well.

“What a gem! I’d trust this woman with everything. She is so kind and sweet. Went above and beyond with our pets: sent us pictures, a brief text daily, washed and swept after the kitties. She’s a vet-tech also, so in an emergency she knows where to go. Worth every dollar plus tip for peace of mind and happy, healthy animals in our own home??”
