About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and currently care for four dogs and one cat of my own. Caring for multiple pets has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize each animal’s unique personality and needs. From energetic playtime and long walks to quiet cuddles and sticking to feeding routines, I’m comfortable providing attentive, loving care. Also, I am comfortable and experienced in handling medication for dogs as one of my dogs at home has diabetes. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and I’ll treat yours with the same kindness, respect, and affection that I give my own. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pet. I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferred days and times, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both you and your furry friend. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for my own four dogs and one cat, so I’m familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and lots of love. I’ll also respect your pet’s routine, follow any feeding or medication instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I believe that the unconditional love that pets provide their owners is something very special and they deserve love and respect in return. Since I was a child, I have always had a pet in my home. Years ago, I worked as a receptionist and vet assistant caring for both dogs and cats. Currently, I am a stay-at-home mom and have two cats. My friends and neighbors frequently ask me to care for their fur babies. They have relied on me to feed, walk, give pill medications, clean litter boxes, play and spend the weekend with their pets. I feel comfortable with dogs and cats, large and small breeds. I look forward to providing the quality time and the best care possible as your pet's caretaker. As a stay-at-home mom, I have plenty of availability during the week and on weekends to provide care for your pets. I love all kinds of animals and will treat them as my own. Whether you need a quick drop in visit or an overnight stay, you and your furry family member can trust that I will provide exceptional service. Over the years, I have done overnight and weekend stays for friends, neighbors and family. I feel a pet is most comfortable in their own home and want them to feel safe and secure.

About: Since High School (10+ years), family members, neighbors, and close friends have reached out to me for pet care. I personally grew up with cats, but I have care for cats, dogs, fish, and even bearded dragons! When I care for your pets, I strive to be patient and understanding first and foremost. Meeting new people is just as nerve-racking as meeting new animals! I enjoy learning your pet's behavior, building trust, bonding with them and hopefully, if they let me, giving them lots of love! I try to be open-minded and understanding as I know not every pet warms up to people. Feel free to reach out and we can chat more about what you need for your pet :) I'm looking forward to spending time with them! I currently have a flexible schedule, so pet-sitting and dog-walking can fit in whenever I have free space! Typically I will have pet-sitting over the weekends, but my availability will be updated as needed. As I live in an apartment, I currently am not able to care for your pets in my own home. Though, I have no problem coming to your home to care for your pets! This includes if I am needed there overnight.

About: I've grown up surrounded by animals, including cats and dogs, and at one point, our household included five dogs simultaneously. Since the age of ten, I've been responsible for feeding my dogs and taking them outside. When I turned fourteen, I began walking my own dogs and even walked dogs for friends, ranging from 15 to 130 pounds. I am proficient in administering dog medications and knowledgeable about dog behaviors. I'm passionate about understanding each pet's preferences and personality, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with a fun and safe environment. I’m currently working a part-time job, while a full-time college student. I am free currently Saturday-Tuesday. Saturday and Sundays I will be available from 8am till 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Monday I will be available all day starting from 10am and Tuesdays all day after 3pm. I always prioritize your pets well-being and follow your specific instructions for their care. If needed, I can crate your dog and i’ll offer a safe and comfortable environment.

“Sophie was wonderful with Reign! She came on short notice to let her out, play with her, and make sure she was fed and well cared for. She was dependable, caring, and gave us peace of mind knowing Reign was in good hands. We really appreciated her flexibility and how great she was with Reign. We will definitely be requesting Sophie again!”

About: I am a lifelong dog lover that raised a St. Berdoodle for the last 5 years. Many family and friends also depended on me to take care of their pups for the last 8-10! During the week, I study Music & Psychology at Fordham University. I am a sophomore at Fordham University with classes during the week at the Lincoln Center campus and available to take care of your dog on the weekend! I am available to take care of your dog in your home where he/she feels most comfortable and will follow your instructions and maintain consistency with your dog's daily routine!

About: I have taken care of many dogs and animals before. I have cared for and trained various animals including cats, dogs, horses, cows, and goats. Some of the dogs I've sat for were show dogs or had health needs that required a strict routine, diet, or medication needs. While I used to be in the workforce I am home with two boys, they would be with me for any visits or walks so a somewhat kid friendly dog is needed. We used to have dogs of our own so they are both used to pups. This does make me super flexible and able to get up and go pretty quick. I have experience with a wide array of dog breeds, temperaments, energy levels and sizes. Im all ears for preferences and needs for any dog too. I am up and ready to go if needed by 8 and try to be home to cook by 4, and then Im available from 5:30/6ish when dinner raps up as my husband is home and I can run if needed. I approach slowly and gently to encourage calm for the high energy ones and safety for the more timid. I can give food and water if needed, kennel the pup if needed, and will leave the place the same if not better than how I found it.

“Sonja is amazing with our two rescue pups! They have some specific needs, including separation anxiety and reactivity, and Sonja has the skills and experience to care for them. We felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care and we recommend her highly!”

Linda W.

“Yolanda was amazing with our three high energy dogs! When we first met her and her husband, we could tell right away they were great people and our dogs took right to them. Even our dog that is sometimes shy around new people seemed completely at ease with them. She was available on short notice and took lots of great photos of the first visit. Our dogs looked very happy and relaxed. We would definitely recommend Yolanda!”

About: Nice to meet you! My name is Courtney. I created my business because I too struggled to find a reliable dog sitter for my pets. I wanted to provide professional, trustworthy care to my fellow pet owners. People have described me as confident, responsible, and compassionate. I am very passionate about working with pets. I’ve worked with hundreds of dogs, ranging from all dog breeds and sizes. I have been a dog trainer and dog sitter for over 10 years, and I truly have a passion for dogs. Take me to a dog park and I can tell you about every single dogs play style, body language and behavior. What sets my dog sitting and boarding services apart is my understanding of the canine mind and their unique needs for enrichment and reinforcement, crucial for their health and happiness. I have extensive training and real world experience training K9s and companion dogs which requires creativity, patience, and compassion. I also have extensive knowledge of various dog health issues, having cared for blind dogs, deaf dogs, and those with special needs. I firmly believe there are no 'bad' dogs and strive to cater to each client's specific needs. Reactive, nervous, or anxious dogs are always welcome in my care without judgment. Ensuring dogs' safety is my top priority because, like you, my dogs are family, and I treat every pet as such. Trusting somebody with your pets can be nerve wracking, and you can be assured the care, safety, and well being of your family member is taken seriously. “Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.” George Eliot Important note: I have a three day cancellation fee, so please be sure to let me know if your plans change as soon as possible. Last minute cancelations result in other pet parents unable to use my services, so I cannot wave or adjust for my fee. I appreciate clients understanding! Please note that dogs are not to be taken off property during their stay (Unless veterinary related) is it my main priority that pets are safe and secure in our home and yard. Our yard provides ample space for dogs to run, chase a ball, and play with their buddies. My drop off and pickup times are split between AM and PM. My drop off times range from 8-10AM, and 5-8PM. Times outside of those periods will be charged for a day or half day of daycare. I appreciate owners being as close to a planned time as possible to allot time for myself and other clients. As a full-time dog trainer, I work from home alongside my lead trainer, so there is always someone at home! My commitment to being home means that the dogs receive continuous supervision and attention, enhancing safety and well-being. I enjoy hiking, swimming, and gardening in my small garden. When dogs stay at my home, safety is my top priority. To ensure a secure environment, I implement several measures. 1. Supervised Outside Play: Dogs are only allowed outside under direct supervision. This allows me to monitor their behavior, prevent any potential conflicts, and ensure they stay safe from external hazards. 2. Matching Play Styles: I carefully assess the play styles of each dog and only allow those with similar temperaments to interact. This minimizes the risk of misunderstandings and conflicts, promoting an enjoyable playtime for all dogs. 3. FI Collars. If requested by the pet parent, I use FI collars for safety. These smart collars provide real-time location tracking, ensuring an added layer of security. This technology helps me keep track of each dog’s whereabouts, giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are safe. 4. Fence: Our property is 1/3 acre and includes a 6 foot fence. Dogs are carefully monitored and I implement 50 foot long lines if needed for escape artists.
