“Christopher was communicative, caring, and receptive. He provided a great help to me over the weekend and he will be the first one I reach out to again for assistance.”

“Amazing sitter!!! Schirn stayed with our elderly fur babies and took incredible care of them and our apartment while we were on vacation. We were in constant communication (but not too much!) before the stay, during, and after we got back home to make sure we settled back in okay. Upon meeting Schirn, you and your pets will immediately be at ease because she is a pro- comforting, reliable, trustworthy and truly goes above and beyond. The daily pictures and updates showed our pets were happy and when we got home we could tell they were very well taken care of. I highly, highly, highly recommend Schirn for picky pet parents!”

“Kyla was amazing - she was so attentive and understood the needs of our dog. She even went out of her way to meet our dog beforehand which shows her dedication. We can’t wait to have her dog sit again soon!”

“Camille did such a an awesome job with our pups ! She was so attentive and sweet. She followed directions so well. She was able to give my one dog her meds with no problems. She updated us and left the place spotless. I would def recommend her and use her again in the future!”

“Vanessa was great with our dog and guinea pig while my family was away. She was communicative, sent pictures and videos, followed all our instructions and took great care of our house . We will definitely use her again.”

“Marisa R. was spectacular! We recommend Marisa to any family looking for someone to watch their pet and/or house. She met with us prior to watching our dog to find out all about him. When it came time to watch him, she followed his routine as described and sent us photos of all of the fun they had together. We felt so grateful to Marisa knowing that our dog was so well cared for while we were away. Thank you, Marisa!”

“Isabel was great. Listened to all of Maggie’s quirks and was extremely open to all the advice we dumped on her before we left. We felt very comfortable knowing she was there with Maggie. Fully recommend and would definitely book again.”


“Avery was great with our dogs! She kept in frequent contact and I could tell the pups were well loved the entire time. I would absolutely recommend Avery and hope to use her again in the future. ?”

“Rachelle is an OUTSTANDING cat sitter. I had to make a couple consecutive trips, which had Lola feeling a little wary about receiving her medication from strangers. This was Rachelle‘s first time taking care of her, and she was so thoughtful and intuitive about finding a way to make Lola feel safe. She also went above and beyond to make sure she was clear about the timing of Lola‘s medication (especially with a curveball of daylight savings time!) and excellent about communication. I came home to a clean house, and a relaxed, happy cat. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Ryan was incredibly responsive, punctual, and sweet! Would recommend her time and time again. She was so easy to work with an accommodating and I really appreciated her willingness to keep Angelo safe and comfortable! Thanks soo much, Ryan!!”

“Maddieson was amazing!!!! We recently moved to NYC and needed someone to watch our puppy. Our puppy is needy one and Maddieson made him super comfortable in our own home. One thing I really appreciated was I got morning and evening updates. AND she washed my sheets like wow!!!! I’ll definitely be using her again as I travel a lot to work. Will be a regular for sure.”

“Isaiah was such an attentive and responsive sitter. They loved my girls and watched over them just as we would, and I’m so eternally grateful to have been able to book them. They sent many pictures and updates on our 3 day trip, which made it so much easier to lay back and relax while away from the babies. I will definitely be booking them again in the future and truly could not recommend you book with them enough. Thanks so much Iggy! <3”


“Kier is the best ! He is so communicative while we were away and kept us in the loop about how our baby was doing. He took such amazing care of our cat as if she were his own. He is truly an amazing sitter!”

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 experience with rabbits as well. I have a flexible schedule and live nearby in Forest Hills, so I can easily accommodate your pet's daily routine and provide reliable, attentive, and loving care. My preferred times for 30-minute drop-in visits and dog walks are 8:30–9:00 AM and 4:00–6:00 PM. If you need a different time, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to accommodate your request. 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.
“Avary was unbelievably kind, thoughtful, and considerate when caring for my spoiled Pomeranian and staying at my apartment! She was transparent and provided frequent updates without being prompted and soothed this anxious dog mom’s nerves :) She was thorough in following instructions and went above and beyond on her last day taking care of my dog and apartment. Gem of a human and I’m beyond grateful to have picked Avary as our sitter!”

“Cailey was wonderful with our pup! She was very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure our pup was taken care of. She also provided us with daily updates. Will be using Cailey again in the future!”

“Andrea is a fantastic sitter. She took such good care of Melvin while I was away. She sent lots of updates and photos. She also left my apartment perfectly clean. I highly recommend Andrea!”
“Jewel was quick to respond to my request and asked many good questions before agreeing to house sit. She also wanted to have a meet and greet before our appointment which I really appreciated. She is very communicative, thorough in terms of what is expected and knowing what the dogs need, and very good-humored; she even took notes during our meeting. The dogs were immediately comfortable with her and I was perfectly confident leaving them in her care. She gave me updates during the day, and everything was great when I returned. The dogs were happy and so was I. I would certainly request her to stay with them again.”

Isabel did a very nice job with my dog Onyx. She was with him for two days and one night. She followed every instruction I gave, and kept in touch with me the whole time. She also kept the house very tidy as well. The cherry on top was the fact that she left her own little note to me and I really appreciated that. Would definitely book her again.

Charlie was fantastic. I needed a last minute pet sitter and am so glad I found him. He had great communication, fast response time, and my dog loved him and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was being well cared for. I've used Rover before and it has been an up and down experience due to people initially agreeing and then not responding or cancelling days later. I'm really happy to have found Charlie and can't tell you how much I appreciated his quick and reliable communication.

Vanessa did an absolute amazing job staying with Onyx. She was with him for two days and a night and did everything that I asked her to do the exact way I asked her to. She kept in touch with me the whole time and dealt with my paranoia as I never left him before.. She left the house, nice and clean and took out the garbage. I will definitely be booking her again. Thank you Vanessa.

Kaylee is amazing. Our 1 year old pitbull loved her from the first minute. She is truly a "dog person". Our dog Cannoli had surgery earlier in the week. Kaylee followed all our instructions with medication and sent videos. We could see our baby snuggled up with Kaylee sleeping. I will Absolutely be booking again.
