House Sitting Fordham

“Alexandria was so great! She was so communicative throughout the weekend. Sent picture. Marlon looked so happy and seemed so relaxed when I got home. 10/10 will use Alexandria again and again!”

About: My experience with animals goes beyond just having pets of my own! I’ve raised my cat, Khloe, since she was a newborn, cared for my boyfriend’s senior dog Gizmo (RIP), and even helped care for a family member’s puppy (Romeo) who was sick with a UTI. That meant keeping up with more frequent walks and giving the puppy extra attention throughout the week. I’ve also managed to keep three carnival goldfish (Darwin, Sayuri, and Mohawk) happy and healthy for over two years! From young pets who need supervision to senior pets who may need a gentler hand, I’ve learned every animal has different needs, but deserve the same patience consistency and love. I’m also a photographer and artist, so I LOVE catching those goofy moments that fill every pet owners phone gallery. If your pet becomes my buddy, don’t be surprised if you get an entire complimentary photo shoot! I will also be happy to clean your fur baby afterwards (yuck nyc floors) and provide poop bags, toys, treats, etc if needed! I’m currently in college full time, with Mondays and Wednesday’s being my most unavailable days. Tuesday,Thursday,Friday, and weekends are my best days. I have classes Tues-Thurs from 10:45-12pm, and periodically have classes on Thursday from 3:05 to 5:45. This is my last semester, so I will be graduating soon. We can work together to find the best schedule 🐾 Whether it is in my home or yours, my priority is making sure the fur baby is safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the usual feeding, walking, playtime, and rest routines as closely as possible. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep your pet areas cleaner than you left them, and make sure they have fresh food and water.

“Liliana was great with Bruno! She took him on many walks through out the day and already had experience administering his seizure meds, which made me feel at ease while I was gone. He was a very happy pup when I returned from my trip. Will definitely be using her services again! Thank you!!”

About: I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals 🐐, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is a distinguished, low-drama fellow. As a plant parent, I will watch after yours indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.

About: I enjoy creating a special bond with dogs and cats, always going beyond walking, feeding, and keeping them company. I am committed to not disrupting current schedules while providing extra enrichment and giving your baby another human to trust. It is important to me that everyone leaves better because of that trust and time spent, including myself. Special skills include long term care, caring for 3+ animals, puppy training, medication administration (including cbd), senior care, caring for anxious animals, as well as reptile care (I am a reptile parent). I work freelance, giving me full control of my weekly schedule. Pet care seamlessly fits into my routine because it is already a part of my routine, I have been in pet care consistently for 6 years. I also must be walked daily, and enjoy taking those walks in different neighborhoods with different companions. I prefer to care for pets in spaces where they feel comfortable and safe, their home. While I am in your home I am always respectful and clean. It is important to me that I have an understanding of house rules, your pets schedule, and emergency contacts including their vet.

“Selina was so sweet with Rosie and gave her so much love! She sent great photos of their time together and everything went smoothly!”

Margaret S.

“Asel was extremely sweet, professional, punctual and responsive! It was my first time leaving my babies with anyone who isn’t family and I was so anxious! Asel did an amazing job not just keeping me updated, but keeping my babies happy and following the care guide provided. I 100% recommend Asel to anyone who wants to keep their babies safe and happy while away.”

“Michele was great! My cat, Piper, warmed up to her immediately, and Michele was very mindful of keeping Pipers schedule and routines. Would definitely book with her again”

“Drew is a fantastic dog sitter and walker. He watched our dog Pablo for 3 days and nights (he stayed in our home). Drew kept us fully updated on Pablo during his stay with messages and photos, and followed all of the notes we left regarding our dog’s routine. This was comforting because Pablo takes medication and has anxiety / some reactivity. Drew also left our home very clean and accommodated staying past his scheduled time. We 100% recommended Drew for all of your pet sitting / walking needs, he’s great!”

“Imani came through for us and our pup when at the last minute our boarding plans fell through ahead of our vacation and even extended it a few days while we were stuck in the airport. She communicated well and we came home to a happy dog. Thanks Imani!”

Christopher B.

“Iris took a VERY good care of my pup!! She was constantly sending me photographs and videos of Koala every day without asking, which shows her responsibility and dedication to dog sitting. Koala always looked happy on videos and I could see Koala is in a very good mood and overall state, when I came back. I am sure they had a connection:) I am more than happy I chose Iris as a nanny. Definitely going to contact her again in the future!:)”

About: I’ve had the joy of being around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with both small and large breeds since I was a little girl. Caring for them is a lifelong passion for me. I love not only spending time with dogs but also training them, learning about their unique personalities, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and understood. My goal as a sitter is to give each dog the same level of love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is thriving while you’re away. As a freelance artist, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to tailor my day around the needs of the pets I care for. My work in the arts gives me the freedom to be present for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I can easily adjust my routine, I’m able to give each pet consistent attention and love. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are in a secure environment that they are free from hazards, with access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of safe play space. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to exercise schedules, and keep a watchful eye on the pet’s behavior and well-being. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and ensure it’s kept tidy and secure. My goal is to provide both the pet and their owner with peace of mind, knowing they’re in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment.

“Kamryn is very caring. My puppy just loves her. She has watched her three times now and never disappoints. She is super responsive to texts, and checks in with pictures and videos often.”

About: Hi! I'm a college student working toward vet school, so caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it’s what I genuinely love doing. I've had my own cat for 5 years, so I know what it's like to be a pet parent. I've also spent plenty of time watching other people’s dogs and cats, from very high energy puppies to older dogs who just want a quiet environment. I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. If something’s wrong I will reach out immediately. Since I'm on summer break, I have a pretty open schedule, but I do like to be upfront about my specific availability. I'm available Monday through Friday all day. On Saturdays, I'm available after 4:00 PM. I can also do evening visits, but I wrap things up by 10:00 PM. My schedule is pretty open until I start class the 28th of August. I will have class on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11am to 1:45pm and Fridays from 10am to 1:45pm. I know routines are really important to pets, so I'll work around whatever schedule your pet is used to, like midday walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening check-ins before bed. Consistency is very important! I only provide care in your home because I believe that pets are more comfortable in their own environment, with their own things and smells. I'm really careful with doors or any gates and will always make sure to double check every exit to make sure your pet stays safely inside. I will treat your home the way I'd want mine treated, I will clean up after myself, wash any bowls I use, and leave things tidy. I'll also send any updates/photos at every visit so you can see how things are going. I will also save your vet's contact info, just in case of any emergency. I always like to be prepared for anything.

About: Hi there! I’m Clari, a true animal lover with over a decade of experience caring for my own sweet dog. She’s been with me for 10 wonderful years, and in that time, we’ve been through it all—zoomies in the park, lazy cuddle days, and even the not-so-fun stuff like surgeries and anesthesia teeth cleanings. I know how stressful it can be when your fur baby needs extra care, and I’ve learned how to handle those moments with patience. Whether your pet just needs a fun walk, some company while you’re out, or special care like medication or gentle handling after a procedure, I’ve got you covered. I’m all about making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures and notes, so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Let’s make their time away from you as stress-free and cozy as possible. Flexible scheduling as I work at home some days and my projects vary. DM me as I am happy to discuss scheduling based on your specific needs. I have a very friendly and sleepy Maltese who would keep your pup company. Sometimes she’s home and sometimes she’s spending time with her grandma, who’s equally obsessed with her as I am.
