“Charlie has been amazing with my dog Oliver. He walks him during the day and is always reliable, attentive, and caring. I can tell Oliver genuinely enjoys his time with him, which gives me peace of mind while I’m busy. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Charlie makes it effortless. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and kind dog walker.”

“Melanie and Veronica are simply the best. When I go away, I have zero worries. Melanie is punctual, organized, attentive, and incredibly sweet. My usually antisocial cats even come out for her. I can't praise her enough. Her energy is calming, lovely, and professional.”

“As soon as I met Qilin, I knew that I was making the right choice. It was a relief to know that my cat, Fortunato, was in good hands while I was away for nearly a week during Christmas. Qilin also is familiar with administering pills, and again, I was relieved to know that Fortunato was getting his medication during my absence. Qilin is reliable and trustworthy, and I would definitely use her again as my pet sitter.”

About: Hi, I’m Irina — a full-time dog sitter in Forest Hills who works from home, so your dog is never left alone. I provide calm, attentive care with frequent walks, updates, and lots of love while you're away. I enjoy taking dogs on neighborhood walks, and my building also has a private dog park. For longer outings, I often drive to parks in Queens so dog and I can enjoy fresh air and exercise. I follow each dog’s routine closely so they feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I specialize in small and medium dogs and am always happy to arrange a quick meet-and-greet so everyone feels comfortable before the stay. I work from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks, and drop-ins on both weekdays and weekends. Dogs staying with me receive regular walks, playtime, lots of attention, and the occasional sing-along if they’re in the mood;, and I’m flexible with most schedules to accommodate your pet’s routine. I live in a clean, quiet, pet-friendly apartment in Queens that provides a calm environment for visiting dogs. My building also has a private dog park, and I regularly take dogs on neighborhood walks or to larger parks nearby for exercise and fresh air. I follow each dog’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I can also care for pets in your home and always treat every pet and home with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own.
“Highly recommend Kristin! She took amazing care of my cats and followed all instructions perfectly. She is communicative, sent great photos, and handled extra requests like mail and cleaning with ease. My cats were happy and safe under her care. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“Deanna took great care of my fur baby! She sent great pictures and notes. She went above and beyond several times and spent more time with my cat than I had booked for her. My cat got along great with her and he was happy and healthy when I got back. High recommend!”

“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!”

“Christy was great with my cats, Poppy and Farfle; after a friend cancelled last minute, she swooped in and saved the day! She was kind, communicative, and went the extra mile to make sure my kitties were safe and comfy over the holidays!”

“Tedy took excellent care of my cat Demi. She sent me a detailed report about how she was doing along with several videos and photos. Demi can be spicy when you first meet her, but Tedy gave her the time and space to get comfortable. I highly recommend her if you have a cat!”

“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.”

“Thoselin was great. She made all the visits on time, took pictures of my kitties, and cleaned their litter box everyday. My kitties are normally shy with strangers, but my babies seemed to love her.”

( Your furry friends will never be home alone!) If I’m not free my sisters will be free, there will always be someone at home!

“Jeffrey took care of our big 15lb cat, Amor. Jefferey was fantastic and even managed to get Amor to eat treats out of his hand! I can't even get Amor to do that. He was wonderful and we would definitely have Jeffery come back when we go out of town again to take care of our Kitty. Thank you Jefferey!”
About: I've cared for a variety of pets over the years—including my own cat for 10 years, a guinea pig for 2, a parakeet, and a hamster. I've also looked after my parents' fish and my brother's Husky, and have completed house sits for both cats and dogs during my travels. I have a flexible schedule and live nearby, so I can easily accommodate your pet’s daily routine and provide reliable, attentive, loving care every day. Hi, I’m Betty, a native New Yorker and lifelong animal lover. I’m clean, friendly, and dependable, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. As a homeowner and former pet owner who had relied on house sitters for my own pets, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your home and animals. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, and I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I’ll treat your pets with patience and kindness and respect your home as if it were my own.
About: I have rescued and cared for animals my whole life. In addition, I’ve done pet sitting, walking and administering medication when needed. Reliable and loving. I am currently working part time but have enough flexibility to help out with your pets…even if you just want someone to keep them company, or check in on them. I will spend quality time with your pet..undivided attention, playtime, affection, walking, feeding and fulfilling needs required by pet/pet owner. Pet will not be confined and becomes a “part of the family”.
About: I have been caring for other people’s pets since I was 14 years old, and from a young age I’ve been passionate about animal welfare. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with puppies, picky eaters, senior dogs, and dogs with medical needs, including administering insulin injections and medications for diabetic dogs. Your dog will be cared for by a compassionate, attentive, and affectionate sitter who truly treats every pet like family. I also have three dogs of my own, so your pup will always have companionship and will never feel bored or lonely. I understand how it feels to leave your own dog in someone else’s care, which is why I strive to be the kind of sitter I would want for my own pets—reliable, loving, and highly attentive. This year, I became a stay-at-home dog mom, which means your pup will receive full-time care, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Since I spend most of my time at home, your dog will always have a safe, loving, and attentive environment while in my care. I love spending quality time with my pup and doing fun, enriching activities throughout the day, and your dog will be included too! We enjoy going to the park, taking long walks, and staying active together whenever the weather is safe and your dog is comfortable and healthy enough for exercise. At home, I make sure the dogs in my care receive plenty of playtime, attention, and affection in a loving environment.

Xiaoying was super accommodating for my last minute request for my cats to be fed super early in the morning! My boys have a bit of a complex feeding situation but she followed all the instructions perfectly. She even played with them and sent tons of funny, adorable pictures!

Emily took such wonderful care of my cats, Tigerlily and Dante, and we are all very grateful for her. This was our first time leaving our cats behind. We were nervous but Emily made the whole experience completely stress-free with her kindness, consistent updates, and genuine love for animals. Tigerlily is usually pretty shy, and Dante loves attention, but somehow Emily made both of them feel so comfortable and cared for. She sent sweet photos and messages that really reassured me they were happy, and getting lots of love while we were away. When we came home, both cats were relaxed and had clearly enjoyed their time with her. It’s obvious that Emily genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and that kind of trust and warmth means everything. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful cat sitter. Five stars without hesitation!

Raul did an excellent job pet sitting for Gunner. He made sure to follow instructions my husband and I gave him, which gave us a peace of mind. When something wasn’t completely clear, he checked in with me, I really appreciated that level of communication and care. It’s safe to say he’s doing a great job getting to know both us and Gunner, and we feel comfortable trusting him with our dog. Highly recommend!

This is our second time hiring Tedy to watch after our cat Baloo, and we couldn’t be happier! Shes so kind, incredibly communicative and has a natural gift with animals. We felt so assured our entire trip abroad that Baloo was in the best hands. Thank you!

Charlie did a really good job with Cato. He was eager to take notes during our first meeting, and double checked most details I provided to ensure he provided the best care for Cato. His communication was very strong, especially when Cato ate something she shouldn’t have. If you need a sitter, I’d do it!
Marcela did a wonderful job walking Beau and following instructions as he's still a puppy and training to walk. There is another puppy she walks in the apartment, but although we offered that she could walk Beau together with that puppy, she stated that she preferred to give each dog individual attention, which we were surpised by and appreciated. She took a lot of photos and videos, and we'd gladly ask Marcela to walk Beau again!

Laura did a great job, as always, with Simba and Sally. The communication was great, she asked good questions - it was clear that she wanted to make sure that she had everything down correctly. And she sent great pics. Always nice to know that my cats are in good hands.
