“I felt comfortable leaving my 2 cats to be cared for by Alyssa. She was able to drop in prior to the booking to get instructions and communicated well. The cats are very shy - practically feral - but she was still able to snap a photo. I would definitely book with her again.”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. From playful puppies to senior pets, I’ve experienced it all and love the unique personality each animal brings. Whether it’s daily walks, or quiet companionship, I’m here to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. As a senior in college home for the summer I have a super flexible schedule as well! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine—I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times, except for Tuesday nights. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening check-ins, I can adjust to meet your pet’s needs. I love incorporating pet care into my day—it’s the best part of my routine! I ensure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, walking, medication, or just giving them some love and attention. I treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, secure, and just the way I found them. I also make sure to keep an eye out for anything unusual in your pet’s behavior or environment and will always keep you updated. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I always have my phone on me to ensure communication is top priority as well.

About: My house at the moment is located in Queens, NY. I owned a cocker spaniel for 11 years; Then, a chocolate Labrador for 8 years; he unfortunately passed in April (2023); that dog was my everything and I have not been the same since. I do not plan on getting more dogs so i have the chance to share the love i have for animals/dogs with hope it will bring some joy back into my life!! There is plenty of room for play, walks and cuddles for your fur baby! Attention is definitely what they will receive in my home!! A home full of an adoration for dogs is key to making sure your pup is happy and safe. My home is fairly big and clean with a fenced backyard, but since i am used to walking and if you prefer walks, i can do that for you as well. I am here to make sure you & your sweet baby is happy and feel comfortable & loved the time they are with me.

“Sheliese was absolutely incredible! I've never left my dog home by herself while on a trip before, and was super nervous to do so, but Sheliese was super communicative and helped me feel at ease the whole time. She was very professional, and the most important thing...our sweet pup absolutely adores her!”


About: After many wonderful years with my emotionally complex (and deeply loved) shepherd, I’ve learned more from dogs than any book could ever teach. I'm now ready to share that experience with your pup—whether they’re joyful and energetic, shy and anxious, or living with physical limitations. I understand canine body language, behavior, and emotional needs. I let dogs set the pace—literally! Whether that means a calm house visit, a brisk jog, or a sandy beach walk, I adapt to what your dog enjoys most. Options I offer: Standard neighborhood walks Beach walks (great for dogs who love water and open space!) Runs/jogs for high-energy dogs (I can even bike or skate if your dog needs a little extra) Walk with a friend (super friendly blonde Yochon doggy in my pics) House visits and companionship Special care for dogs with emotional or physical challenges Let your best friend walk me—and rest easy knowing they’re in loving, experienced hands. I work from home every day and don't have a boss. My schedule is very relaxed, and I take frequent breaks, which usually involve walks on the boardwalk/beach. I live on the 2nd floor of a duplex with little furniture, so my place is very safe for pets. Not much to chew on or bang into.

“My husband and I immediately adored Nicole. She is lovely inside and out. We were thrilled to see Paris connect with her from the start. We have such peace of mind knowing our Paris is in such great hands. Can’t wait to have Nicole watch Paris in the very near future.”


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.

“Tatiana is the BEST cat sitter ever. She played with my cat and gave me super informative updates. She sends amazing pictures and I can tell my cat Toby is so happy from the pics ! This is my third time hiring her and I always do when I am away.”


About: I’ve grown up with large and small dogs my whole life. In my 20s, my former partner and I raised a German Shepherd. I learned that you need to train yourself before you can train your dog. I believe in positive reinforcement training and that consistency is what works best. I currently have a small somewhat senior dog that is a mixed breed who is special needs. He is deaf and has IVDD which has taught me a lot. I have ramps and gates so he and other dogs can get on and off furniture with ease. I also am able to gently administer oral medication for even the most stubborn pups as sometimes mine can be quite stubborn! I work remotely from home with the exception of one day a month. This really allows me to give the time and attention needed to your pets care. It also gives me the flexibility to work from anywhere that has an internet connection. I have a fenced in yard but also love going on walks as I know dogs love and need stimulation. Our in home pets are very calm and accepting of other pets that I have cared for which is one of the reasons why I felt that opening up our home to other pets would work. If your pet is not the best with cats we are able to keep them separated.

About: I’m a long time cat and dog lover with over 10 years of experience taking care of furry friends! I have been the go to caretaker for friends, family, and coworkers who travel often. I spent the last 4 years frequently boarding a pair of sibling cats while their owner went on vacation, but since moving into a smaller apartment that does not allow pets, I’ve had the pleasure of pet/house sitting in other people homes. My experience ranges from freshly spayed kittens to freshly spayed senior pups. You can count on long walks, daily litter cleaning, playtime, and an extraordinary level of care for your loved one. 🐶🐱 (PLEASE BE AWARE THAT I WORK 9-5PM MON-FRI. I CAN STILL PROVIDE HOUSE/PET SITTING SERVICES, BUT YOUR PET MUST BE OKAY STAYING ALONE DURING THESE HOURS:) ) I’m currently working 9-5pm Mon-Fri and would be happy to pet/house sit before and after work! I am also available on weekends for sitting services. For walking services, I am available weekdays after 5pm and weekends until 6pm. Weekday routines include morning walks for your pup and play time of course! I will feed your dog/cat before I leave and make sure their litter is cleaned if applicable. You can expect a long walk right after work and shorter evening outings, depending on your usual schedule! I’m a tidy person and will leave your house cleaner than when you left :) Weekends are full days of caring for your furry loved ones and local adventures :)

About: I don’t just love dogs I live with one of the most high-energy breeds out there a 2.5 year old husky. That means I understand how to handle everything from zoomies to stubborn behavior to keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated. I tailor my care to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they’re playful puppies needing training reinforcement or older dogs who move at a slower pace and need more patience and gentleness. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’ll communicate clearly with you, keep you updated, and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. Whether your dog needs a long bike ride, a quiet cuddle session, or help sticking to a routine, I’ve got it covered. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. I’m used to planning my days around feeding schedules, exercise, potty breaks, and playtime thanks to my own active husky. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check ins, or evening routines, I’m consistent, organized, and always thinking ahead about what each dog needs. Taking care of pets isn’t something I squeeze in it’s something I’ve built my lifestyle around. Whether I’m welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in theirs, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, I provide a calm and clean space with plenty of room to play, rest, and stick to their usual routines. I only take in a limited number of dogs at once, so each one gets plenty of attention and personalized care. If I’m in your home, I treat it with respect and make sure your pet sticks to the schedule they’re used to whether that means walks, meals, crate time, or just hanging out together. I’m reliable, detail oriented, and always make sure your pet gets the same love and structure they’d have if you were there.

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.
