“Erik helped me during my 10 day vacation, taking the dogs out for their midday walk every day. He is a great friend to the dogs, on time, gives helpful feedback, and an advocate for dogs training and safety. I will be reaching out to him for vacation coverage again, assuming there might be space in his calendar to accommodate ad-hoc walks!”
“It was a pleasure to have Rose walk our dog on the Easter holiday! Rose came for a meet & greet .... and quickly made friends with our dog. She came on time, followed all my written directions, sent pictures.... and properly locked up. It was so great to know our dog was cared for and we could enjoy the holiday with family.”
“Ashley was incredible during the short time she walked my dog. She is such an animal lover and is overall a sweet person. My dog was a little hesitant with her at first but Ashley was extremely patient and persistent. Her communication is above and beyond that you will never worry how your pet is doing. I look forward to working with her again in the future!”

About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. Throughout high school I have gained experience with house sitting and overnight dog sitting. Comfortable with giving dogs medication as one of my families dogs required insulin twice a day. I have experience in caring for bunnies, hamsters, fish, rabbits and more. I am a student located about an hour north of NYC. I only have class 3 days a week so I am quite flexible! I am able to provide overnight sitting or drop or basis. I am confident in caring for dogs who have different needs, I am used to giving dogs medication. Watching the dog and making sure to take them out when needed and give them extra pets when needed as well.
About: I love all animals and I have taken care of my own dogs and cats for 15+ years. I am also a 'go-to' person for my neighbors' pets too. I work remotely a few times a week so I can assist during the week!! Can drop in Thurs, Fridays, Sat and Sundays whenever needed to let your animal out, walk or feed too. Also can give shots as I had a diabetic cat which needed shots I can walk your pet - feed, give medication, let animal out - or spend time with them during the day. Happy to assist when needes.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, but have also pet-sat throughout my life. When I was about 13 I had a little pet-sitting side gig throughout the summers and after school. I am comfortable giving meds, taking them on walks, hanging out, feeding, etc. Whatever is needed! I work from home on Thursday and Friday, and am off Saturday and Sunday. I'm happy to spend the day working from your place as long as you have internet or popping in for a walk or feeding, whatever works! I'm happy to work with you for whatever your pet needs; if they need a snuggle buddy or a hands-off approach, I'm happy to do what works. I don't mind long or short walks, crating, feeding, or giving medications.

About: As a part-time nanny and full-time mom to two energetic boys and two lovable pups, caring for others comes naturally to me. I understand firsthand how stressful it can be to find trustworthy, responsible care for your furry family members—I’ve been there myself! I’m here to provide peace of mind and loving care when you need it most. In addition to regular pet care services, I’m also available during long weekends and vacations—those times when finding dependable care can feel especially stressful. Whether you need help in the early morning, late at night, or even overnight, I’m here to make sure your fur babies are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I prefer to care for your fur baby in the comfort of their own home, where they feel most secure and relaxed. However, I’m always open to discussing other options if needed.

Abbey M.
“Abbey cared for our high-anxiety dog Winston for an extended period over the holidays last year. She was patient with Winston while he took several days to warm up to her. She made sure he got walks every day despite it being difficult to get him on the leash the first couple times. She sent us pictures and updates on how he was doing which was nice because we know he struggles when we’re away.”
Lisa N.
“If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like family, Lisa is the one. She’s reliable, patient, and genuinely loves animals. My pup warmed up to her instantly—and that’s saying a lot, because he’s usually shy around new people. Lisa goes above and beyond, whether it's making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise or sending adorable photo updates that brighten your day. Her calm energy and attention to detail give you total peace of mind. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my four-legged best friend.”
AnnMarie G.Star Sitter
“AnnMarie is an incredible pet sitter! She took such great care of my cat, Waffles, while I was away. Not only did she keep him well-fed and happy, but she also made sure he got plenty of playtime and cuddles. I came home to a relaxed, content kitty—and that says it all. I’d trust AnnMarie with Waffles any day!”

She’s gentle, attentive, and always mindful of each pet’s needs and comfort. Whether it’s a dog, cat, or even fish, she creates a calm and safe environment for them. I trust her and I know pet in her care will be in good hands.”
