“Rosemary took great care of our 3 cats for a week. I felt comfortable and confident that they were fed, happy, and also got the attention and love that they needed while we were away. We looked forward to the daily updates and photos. Everything seemed to go well. I would definitely book with her again for a future trip and would also recommend her to anyone local who needed pet care.”
“Amazing. Communicative and available right away for me. My Sadie loved him!”
“Christina was both incredibly professional and caring with our dear golden retriever. We appreciated her desire to doing a meet and greet to get to acquainted with our dog the day before we’d require her care. Christina also captured and sent beautiful pictures of our dog throughout the day that clearly showed our dog enjoying her time with her dogsitter. Absolutely recommend Christina, and will happily work with her again!”
About: Since I was little, I’ve walked and have taken care of several dogs in my neighborhood. Everything from walks, playing with toys, sitting outside, feeding, giving medicine, and many more. I used to have a dog, but he passed away about a year ago. I’ve taken care of him ever since I adopted him. I did everything for him including giving him haircuts, cutting nails, bathing, etc. I also taught him new tricks that his old owners never taught him such as speak, stay, spin, and paw, without any guidance from a professional trainer. Ever heard the joke “ You cant teach an old dog new tricks?” Well, my dog was 10 years old and I was able to still teach him! It just comes natural to me. I love animals. Leaving your pet in my care will guarantee a loving and caring experience while you’re gone! I’m available most mornings and afternoons. Evening varies, but I will always try to make time to take care of your pet. We can discuss times when the day comes! When caring for your pet in your home, I will make sure to maintain their daily schedule/needs closely. I’ll make sure to keep a clean environment and clean up after your pet if there’s every any accidents. Anytime I have a question or concern, I won’t hesitate to communicate with you!
“Absolutely wonderful experience, both our dogs loved her right away. Veronica is extremely responsible, respectful and trustworthy. We highly recommend her. We look forward to many future bookings.”
“I appreciate Caroline dropping in and playing with Roscoe. She sent me a pic of him and he looked happy. Definitely would recommend.”
“I was in California for 5 days, far away from my sweet cat. I did not worry about her at all though, because Jenna showed up on time, fed my kitty, and made sure she had water and a clean litter box. She sent me lots of photos and a video every day so I knew she was being well cared for. It was obvious from the photos that Emmie loved Jenna’s visits. When we arrived home, Emmie was calm and happy. I would definitely hire Jenna again to care for my cat when I am away.”
“AnnMarie is wonderful and understands our pets. One very shy cat who never shows her face actually came up to her on her first visit. Amazing! AnnMarie does a great job.”
“Anel was lovely! She came through for us on a last minute booking. Grateful for her thorough updates and pics. Will definitely book with her again. ☺️”

Please let me know every detail of care for your pet as well as your home! I am detail-oriented and will make sure to follow it to a tee!
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: 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.
“Maddie was great with my cat. He was sitting in her lap after just one visit. I felt 100% confident with knowing he was being taken care of while I was away. Will book again”
“Our 3 puppies, 2 German Sheperds, ages 6 and 7 months, and a 12 year old Labradoodle Cockapoo, love when Dawn drops in while we're at work. All 3 have completely different personalities and she's great with each of them. She arrives promptly and we trust her in our home while we're away. Thank you for taking great care of our pups!!! 🐶 🐶 🐶 ❤”
“Nicole was very dependable and kept us updated with pictures during all of her visits with our two dogs. I’ve already booked her again as I was very pleased with the care she provided!”
About: Hi there, my name is Erin! I’m a certified animal lover. I’ve been around animals all my life. I grew up with dogs and cats (as well as fish, lizards and turtles)! My husband and I currently have two dogs. I work remotely and have a flexible work schedule. Since I work remotely, pet sitting is a great excuse to get out of the house and have a lounging and cuddling up with them! I know when I’m in need of a dog sitter, it’s important to feel that your dog/cat is with someone experienced and that you can trust. With me, you can rest assured knowing your loved one is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend!! I work from home. Taking care of dogs and cats fits easily into my daily schedule. Morning, afternoon and evening flexibility for attention, short and long walks. My home should feel as comfortable and welcoming as a dog or cats own home. If I’m in their space I respect their home as I would for human and human there.

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.”

Chijioke is communicative, tidy and an excellent pet caregiver.”
Abbey M.
“Abbey is a wonderful house/animal sitter! She is reliable, respectful of others’ space, left the place as it was found, and is someone I felt very good about leaving my somewhat special needs dog with. She took my special instructions for my dog who can be difficult since he can be reactive to other dogs into account to make sure all went well. I trust Abbey greatly and am so thankful to have found her. I’d have her watch my fur babies any time!”

Blu really loves her and he did so well under her care.”
