“Jessica was so helpful and a wonderful pet sitter for my cat, Stella! She was very professional and kind and took excellent care of Stella. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Brandon is an exceptional sitter! He got back to me in a timely manner even when i requested his services a bit last minute. My German Shepherd pup loves him and I feel comfortable leaving him in his care. He kept us updated if anything happened and even took some cute photos of our kitty at home. If you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter, Brandon is your guy!”

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.
“Brionna is AMAZING! I have a 2 year old cat that I recently adopted and was nervous as this was the first time I would ever be away from my kitty but Brionna’s calm and kind demeanor quickly put me at ease! She was so communicative leading up to the visit and throughout. Her daily photos and remarks let me know that Tortellini was safe, cared for and comfortable! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of Tortellini again :)”

About: I had plenty of pets growing up and I take full responsibility for pets. I will care for your pets as they were family 👪 My schedule is pretty flexible and I would work around your schedule for your convenience. Let me know how I can help you 😌 ☺ I listen more than I speak. I fully understand that they're more than pet's, they're a part of the family and I fully understand that
“Fallon was a wonderful sitter. She took great care of our cat and sent us pictures of her while we were away. She was very considerate and communicative, from our initial conversations through the end of the booking. We would definitely ask her to sit for us again in a heartbeat.”

“Shelley was absolutely great! She came in exactly when she said she would and went above and beyond caring for my cat. She took the time to give my cat attention, made sure the food and water bowls were full, and stayed in constant communication with me throughout. I especially appreciated the photo updates—it gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Shelley to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

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.
“Wendy was great with Nash! She followed all my instructions, communicated during the visit, and even sent me a photo! Her visit was very helpful and took the worry out of being gone for the day. I will definitely book Wendy again!”

“Paige was awesome with taking care of our three kitties while we were away. She sent detailed notes and great pictures. We knew they were in great hands! We will definitely use her again next time we need a sitter.”
“Emily was a great communicator and excellent drop in sitter for our cat, Charlie, while we were away for the weekend! We are definitely looking forward to having her help again!”

About: Currently have 2 family dogs so I am comfortable with animals and will provide meticulous care for your loved one and home until you return Currently transitioning out of my full-time, therefore I am fully available (other than already booked days or appointments). I can also do holidays if needed! I often play and baby my dogs and want to show tons of love to them! I do the same for other pets I interact with as well!

About: Animal lover with 15 years of experience in animal care. People have told me I’m an animal whisperer and I take pride in that. I also have experience administering medication and caring for senior pets, as well as puppies and kittens. I work extremely well with pets deemed “anxious” or “aggressive”, I’ve even had the opportunity to rehabilitate dogs and reintroduce them into social settings. My services are available mon-sat and I’m flexible with my hours. I currently live with three dogs, two bioactive aquariums, and a bioactive terrarium with a Ball Python. Pet care is part of my daily morning routine and my evening meditation. I’m a very active person so I take the pets on long scenic walks as well as trips to the dog park. It helps with getting the pets energy out before I bring them back home. For at home care I do my best to let the pet get comfortable with me so the pet feels safe. It would help if the owner leaves me notes of their pets routine.
“Zoe went above and beyond caring for both our 90-pound adult dog and our high-energy puppy! I’ve always been the type of person who is extremely nervous about leaving my dogs in someone else’s care, to the point that I’ve never hired a dog walker or pet sitter before. However, after getting our puppy and having a prior commitment that meant we’d be away from home for an extended period, we decided to take the leap and reach out to Zoe. We couldn’t be happier that we did! Zoe didn’t just meet our expectations; she completely exceeded them. She even arrived a little early to make sure she had all the information she needed for a successful visit. Throughout the entire time, she kept us updated and maintained great communication, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we returned home, both dogs were happy, well cared for, and properly exercised. As someone who is very particular about who I trust with my dogs, I cannot recommend Zoe enough! I would absolutely rebook with her in a heartbeat, and we’ve already started discussing our future dog-walking needs with her. Thank you so much, Zoe! We’re so grateful to have found you! ❤️”

“Charlie took great care of our two kitties and made sure they got plenty of attention while we were gone. She sent lots of pics and left the apartment in spotless condition despite a few accidents from our guys. She was great at communicating and was very punctual. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes through my own pets and by helping friends, family, and neighbors.

I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I strive to provide dependable care, clear communication, and regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

As always, Gwen was incredibly attentive to our two cats and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable and well cared for while we were away on a long vacation. She even made thoughtful suggestions to improve their comfort and kept us updated throughout our trip. Gwen is extremely communicative, responsible, and dependable, and we always feel at ease knowing our cats are in her care.

Alexandria took care of my two kitties for 2 weeks while I was away. It was my first time using her and I was very nervous. However, when she came over to meet me and the kitties I was very impressed with her. She answered all of my concerns and had a lot of good questions of her own about my cats and their care. I felt very comfortable letting her into my home and taking care of my cats. I was not disappointed! She sent me detailed notes and photos every day, and my kitchen was as neat and clean as when I left. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and good with skittish cats, I HIGHLY recommend Alexandria!

There are no words for the debt of gratitude I owe to Nicholas for the way he cared for my dogs. I have two elderly dogs, 13 and 15, and I was out of the country for over a week. I never worried for a second knowing they were in his care. He cared for them as if they were his own with attentiveness, love and genuine concern for their wellbeing. While I was away, my 15 year old rescue Diamond, had a flare up with her eye that could have progressed into a catastrophic ulcer and resulted in permanent, devastating consequences. Nicholas recognized that she needed additional care, stayed with her beyond the time he was originally scheduled to, took her to the vet, got her what she needed, and made sure she was safe and cared for. I was halfway across the world and had absolute peace of mind knowing my dogs were with someone who was paying close attention and would do whatever was necessary for them. I am beyond grateful. Nicholas went above and beyond in every possible way and I cannot recommend him more highly. My dogs were more than cared for, they were loved.

Victor is great! We reached out last minute for drop in visits twice a day and Victor was more than up for the task! He checked in on Yankee twice a day, fed Yankee, changed water, and walked him all in a 30 minute visit, and twice a day! Great option if you’re going out of town but want to keep your pet’s daily routine!
Brandon is an exceptional sitter! He got back to me in a timely manner even when i requested his services a bit last minute. My German Shepherd pup loves him and I feel comfortable leaving him in his care. He kept us updated if anything happened and even took some cute photos of our kitty at home. If you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter, Brandon is your guy!

Kristal was AMAZING! She went above and beyond, locating an Amazon package with litter and food delivered to the wrong apartment. She took wonderful pictures that really put us at ease! She also got our very shy cats to say hello and took great care of our chickens!!

Let’s begin by saying I’ve never left my dogs for more than a few days and if so usually with just my mom. I had to go away for a family vacay and was so anxious as one of my doggies has to take his heart medication every 12hrs. Being away for 7 days while everyone I trusted was on this trip with me and thank god I came across Laudianny she was AMAZING! She was puntual and amazing with my babies. She was so good with link and his medicine and so loving with Lily 💕 all my dogs loved her. I will 100% be booking with her again!
