“Jasmine was very friendly and played with my cat, followed all instructions and communicated very openly via text. Our kitty was well cared for. Thank you, will book again!”
“Peggy is very nice and responsive. She took good care of my dog during drop-in visits. She sent me many pictures of my dog and gave me some details how my dog was doing while we were out of town. I’m satisfied with her service and I would like to highly recommend her to anyone who are looking for a dog walker/drop-in visits and so on.”
“Laura was very considerate of the instructions we left for our two cats and very prompt and responsive. She made a true effort to bond with both our cats, including the shy one. We were able to enjoy our time away that much more knowing that Laura was taking care of our pets in our absence!”
“Fiona was absolutely wonderful with Callie! She was punctual, kind, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Callie came back from her walk happy and tired out, and I appreciated the updates and care Fiona provided”

“We were out of the country for two weeks and Qilin took excellent care of our cats. She kept us informed and sent us pictures of our cats at each visit. She also made sure to spend time with them each visit so they weren't lonely while we were away. No issues with access, and was very reliable and attentive to all communication. Will book again in the future.”
“Second time using Jennifer - our usual sitter fell through last minute and she was so quick to respond to our last minute request. Very reliable!”
About: I grew up with multiple dogs. My family has had 7 dogs since I was 13. I would walk and feed dogs afterschool as a job in middle school. I now have my own mini poodle, Teddy, that I love very much. I’ve always been great with animals and love to spend time with them. I’ll walk them around the block, for two miles, or just sit with them in the yard. I work freelance in television production. This sounds busy but actually leaves me with incredible amounts of free time between shoots. I have almost endless time when I am home. I am willing to do overnights but would prefer to just do walks and feedings. I will walk up to 2 dogs at a time. I’ll walk as far as they like to walk so just let me know your preferred walk distance.
“Asuka is so thorough and thoughtful. From her questions upon meeting me and my cats for the first time to her updates during their care, it is evident that Asuka is an attentive and gentle pet sitter. Thank you, Asuka!”
About: I’ve had experience taking care of puppies, middle age, and senior dogs for over 13 years, including kittens/cats! I’ve loved animals ever since I was a child and genuinely enjoy everything about pet care! If you’re looking for someone who understands how precious pets are and will truly take the time to ensure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away, I’m your guy! I have a rotating schedule for my job so I have every other weekend off, while also having days off during the week. When I’m not at work, I’m always home and will be able to give 100% of my attention to the animal in my home! I live in a calm neighborhood with plenty of sidewalk space with surrounding grass for walks, I can give baths as needed, I follow any medication routines or dietary restrictions provided by the pet owner, and I also just love to spend time playing or relaxing with the doggy! I also provide the same kind of care for cats (aside from baths, as they probably wouldn’t like that 🤣)
About: I have taken care of my own dog since I was 6 and have experience cat sitting for family friends. I have also been around a wide variety of pets- from a very talkative parrot to an energetic ferret! I genuinely love getting to know new animals and making sure that they feel completely relaxed and comfortable with me. My top priority is to keep your pet(s) happy and well-loved until you return. I recently graduated from Penn State and am currently working part-time as a Behavior Therapist for children with autism. After returning home from college, I said goodbye to my childhood dog of 16 years. It would mean so much to me to share the love I had for my own pup with your pet(s). Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or just relaxing company, I would love to make sure your pet(s) feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I live in an apartment building, which is where my dog grew up. He started out sleeping in a crate while he was being potty-trained. As he got older, he had to rely on me and my family to carry him up and down the stairs, push him in his stroller when he could no longer walk on his own, and help him take his medications. I understand that caring for animals with different qualities of life requires adjusting to their needs, and I plan to do just that for you and your pets.
About: With a lifelong passion for animals and years of hands-on experience, I bring a unique level of care to every pet I look after. I've cared for dogs of all sizes since childhood and have a deep understanding of both energetic pups and senior dogs with special needs. I recently cared for my Yorkie, who lived to be 13, administering daily insulin injections and oral medications with patience and precision. Whether your pet needs gentle medical support or an active play companion, I’m here to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their needs. As a part-time worker with a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate specific days to pet sitting, ensuring each animal receives my full attention and care. Whether during the week or on weekends, I plan my availability around your pet’s needs to provide consistent, focused, and loving care. While I don’t currently have pets living in my apartment with me, I offer a safe, clean, and cozy environment for any animal in my care. My apartment, though modest in size, is located in Forest Hills which is a quiet, beautiful neighborhood with plenty of green space for walking, playing, and outdoor breaks. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I prioritize their comfort and safety while being respectful and mindful of your space and surroundings.
“Melanie was wonderful! She sent daily updates and multiple pictures while I was away, which allowed me to feel confident that my cat was in good hands. I have a very needy cat and every picture update showcased how happy my kitten was.”
“I’ve been booking Dane’s sister for a while now, and she has been very reliable and responsive . Communication is easy and she gives excellent updates. My cat Flurry is shy, but he’s slowly getting more comfortable with her. Hopefully he ll get as playful and cuddly with her that he is with me. I appreciate that she tries to adapt her care with Flurry preferences and that I can rely on her every week.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always enjoyed being around animals! I enjoy their presence and their company and love to give them ample time and affection, including play time. I currently work most days from home so I have plenty of time to care for your pet and give he/she the attention and time they deserve. I have a cat who loves to play and get to know new animals. I also have ample toys and treats and plenty of space to keep your animal comfy :)
“Stefany is such an amazing puppy sitter. I had just gotten my puppy and had to go back to work, and on top of that it was my first time using the app—so I was kinda nervous. But I’m seriously so glad I found Stefany’s profile. She’s super reliable, on top of things, and just really easy to communicate with. She took such great care of my pup, made sure she got tons of playtime and cuddles, which made me feel way more at ease being away. She also treated my home with so much respect, like it was her own, which made her even more trustworthy. Honestly, anyone would be lucky to have her watch their pet.”
“Hanna was so kind and thoughtful! This was our first time using her for cat sitting and she was amazing!! We felt at ease going on vacation and having her take care of our two cats. She was very communicative. Will book again!”
“We had an exceptional experience with Elizabeth while she took care of our dog, Felix, during our concert trip. From the initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that Elizabeth is a true animal lover and professional. Felix, who can be a bit shy around new people, warmed up to her almost immediately. Throughout the stay, Elizabeth provided regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing Felix was in good hands. She followed all our care instructions meticulously, ensuring Felix’s feeding and playtime were kept to. What really stood out was the extra effort Elizabeth put in to make Felix feel comfortable and happy. She spent quality time playing with him and even managed to get him to engage in some new games, which is no small feat! When we returned, Felix was relaxed and content, which is the best indicator of the excellent care he received. We highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy, Felix!”

She followed every instruction I gave her, from feeding times and walks to little things like giving my dog her favorite toy and making sure she got enough cuddle time. She even took the time to send me updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear how much she truly cares for animals—she’s gentle, patient, and full of positive energy that pets naturally respond to. What stands out the most about Leyah is how reliable and responsible she is. I never had to check in or worry she always took initiative and made sure everything was taken care of. My dog absolutely adores her, and I could see how happy and comfortable she was in Leyah’s care. Leyah is not only an amazing pet sitter, but she’s also just a kind and caring person overall. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and loving person to care for their dog. Your pet will be in excellent hands with her! Sincerely, [Your Name]”

Carena was very considerate and caring sitter for our kitties!! I was gone for a week and both of my kitties seemed well taken care of and happy when I was back! We highly recommend Carena :)
I’ve been booking Dane’s sister for a while now, and she has been very reliable and responsive . Communication is easy and she gives excellent updates. My cat Flurry is shy and it makes me happy that he s getting more comfortable with her. Hopefully he ll get as playful and cuddly with her that he is with me pretty soon. I appreciate that she tries to adapt her care with Flurry preferences and that I can rely on her every single week.
Best in the business.... I will say it scares me to leave Laura 5 stars and a review as I don't want her getting booked up ans not being able to care for my kittens.... but she's the best around.
It's my second time using Susan to take care of my cats (drop in visits). She did a great job of cleaning up and making sure they were fed and comfortable. I got daily pics/videos of them playing/eating
Dorothy is great! It’s my second booking with her and I have a third one coming up. She’s very communicative and helpful. Thank you Dorothy!
Nicole did a great job taking care of our cats! Communicated very clearly and sent great pics, I’d def book them again
I had a great experience with Mayleth as our cat sitter! She took excellent care of both Moby and Zorka, making sure they were well-fed, comfortable, and happy while I was away. Her communication was clear and consistent—she sent me updates and photos that gave me real peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. I’d absolutely recommend Mayleth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive sitter. Thank you again!
Jasmine was such an energetic and patient sitter! I needed to find a sitter last minute for a weekend getaway and Jasmine was prepared to be flexible as well as thorough. Luna 🌑 is a shy kitty and he needs lots of patience and good energy, which Jasmine easily demonstrated early on! I also appreciated how communicative she was and how understanding she came off. Luna and I are so grateful for your love and care! 🩶
Vanshika was awesome! I really appreciated how she sent "heading out" texts, and her visit reports were super detailed with tons of pictures. She even reported on his, uh, litter box visits, which was incredibly appreciated because of Sam's chronic GI issues. No such issues during this visit!! Sam was aloof but that didn't stop her from trying to interact with him each visit. I really, really recommend hiring Vanshika!
Alissa was great! Excellent communication, sent lots of photos. And our very shy cat warmed up to her very quickly! We felt very confident knowing that she was taking care of Moon. I would 100% recommend her and hope she'll be available again when we need a cat sitter.
Mond is a fantastic pet sitter! He's been so responsive, highly reliable and took great care with all of my cat's needs, gave me updates, ensuring me that she was comfortable, happy and doing well. I am normally a worry-wort when I leave my cat at home, but this time I was so much more at ease and was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands. I highly recommend him :)
So grateful for Angelica's loving care of Pip! She took care of him, played with him and made sure to send pics on each visit. She has cats herself and that's definitely a plus. Will definitely use again.
Ryozo did a great job watching our cat while we were out of town for a week. He made time to come by for a meet and greet beforehand, and kept us updated with pictures while we were away. We came home to a happy cat!
Thanks for taking special care of Bella during the heat wave! Really appreciate the updates and great communication.
Wendy provided great care to my cat that I rescued a few months ago while I was away on vacation. She took pictures for every visit and gave updates as needed. I will hire her again for my next trip. Thanks again Wendy.
This was my first time having Catherine come care for my girls, and both the cats and I were happy! She stayed longer than planned to make sure she got everything done properly, she communicated with me, and sent me some photos. I look forward to working with Catherine again :)
My cats bonded with Asuka from the first moment so I knew they were in good hands! Friendly, trustworthy, reliable and honest! 10/10 would recommend!
Anscia was available for a last minute drop in that was needed and was very helpful in taking care of Gio while I was caught up at an appointment. Thank you, Anscia!!
Andi took care of my introverted dog and did a great job. He sent photos and she seemed really comfortable with him. Definitely will book again
I can’t say enough about how grateful we are to have found Catalina. She was truly amazing! From the start, I felt completely comfortable. She was professional, compassionate, and genuinely caring. Throughout our three week trip, Catalina sent regular updates, photos, and videos, which made a huge difference for me as I was feeling very anxious being away. Her communication gave us real peace of mind, and that’s everything when leaving your pets in someone else's care. We absolutely plan to use her again and again. Highly recommend!
