Pet Sitting Grand Central

About: I’ve always had pets of my own and have been caring for animals for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I’m experienced with kittens, adult pets, and senior or medically complex animals, including providing around-the-clock hospice care for my own beloved cat after his ataxia diagnosis. I currently share my home with Leon, my one-year-old cat, and Chicken, my 26+ year-old African Grey parrot—both rescues (Chicken was found abandoned and taken in) and very loved. I love caring for pets—cats, dogs, and birds of all types and sizes—and I’m happy to welcome other small animals too, just let me know! I treat every pet with patience, attention, and affection, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I work from home and my schedule is flexible. My goal is always to schedule any services based on the needs of you and your pet(s). I will always follow any instructions on how you prefer your pet to be cared for. Otherwise, I will always care for them in the safest and healthiest way available. The same way I care for my own pets. Leon is an indoor kitty with unlimited access to fresh air and sunshine from his lounging cots attached to our large windows. He loves his wet food, and his meals are on a “flexible” schedule, and no all day grazing. He receives lots of playtime with his humans and more independently. Of course, he gets brushed, not always with a happy purr, but he gets as much as he will tolerate.

About: I’m a caring and responsible person who loves all animals. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own, but between a full time job and traveling I wouldn’t want to leave my dog alone for so long. So for now I get my dog fix by hanging out with everyone else’s! Over the years I’ve watched and walked my friends dogs. I’ve mostly cared for small to medium sized dogs, but open to meeting larger dogs too! I’ve taken care of dogs with different personalities. Bean, my longest fury friend who I’ve watched grow up for about 4 years, feeding him, walking him and giving him attention when he wanted it. I’ve enjoyed the many hours we’ve spent just sitting on the couch watching tv together. I’ve also watched energetic dogs like Squid, who is my coworkers dog and let me tell you, he loves attention! If you don’t give it to him, he will keep barking at you. I’ve also cared for senior dogs. Like my cousins adorable dog Ketchup, who loves naps and walks. There was a weekend where I had to take care of him while my cousin was away. They had him on a schedule. I had to make sure he received his medications at certain times, took him out for small walks, and fed him at certain times. I’ve also cared for Dandy, who was also a senior dog that had walking issues. I would put her in a wagon to take her outside so that she could enjoy some fresh air. It was my friend’s family dog and she would let me take Dandy to work with me so that she wasn’t home alone. I would put a blanket next to my desk so that she could relax on. She was such a sweet dog! Wether your dog wants to go out for a walk, play or just cuddle on the couch, I would love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them the same care and attention I would want for my own dog. Until I’m ready to become a dog mom, I’m happy to become the neighborhood dog auntie! I’m currently working a full time job during the week, but available all day on Saturday and Sunday to walk your dog or dogs. I’ll take good care of your dog on our walks. I’ll make sure to keep a good distance from other dogs. If the ground is too hot to walk your dog, I will recommend scheduling in the evening when the ground becomes cooler so that they don’t burn their paws. If you would like photos of your dog while we are on a walk, I would be happy to provide photos.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have cared for dogs and cats for many years. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away! I currently work full-time from 10:30 AM–7 PM, but I’m available for early morning walks and drop-ins from 6–9 AM, as well as late evening visits and full availability on weekends. I’m also available for holidays and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs! I live in a clean, comfortable apartment with two friendly cats who are used to being around other animals. I prioritize every pet’s safety and comfort and will always follow their individual routine and care instructions. For dogs, I provide regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to keep pets separated from my cats if they are more comfortable that way. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. 🐾

“Madeline is so lovely! She is kind, prompt, and responsible, and our dachshund absolutely loves her. She sends thoughtful notes and photographs, and it’s a joy to work with her. We will definitely be reaching out to her again and can’t wait to work with her in the future :)”

“The best!”

“Thank you Tasha for your thoughtful care of our sweet kitty boys. It's rare when I hear back from sitters that they were able to connect with them, given their wandering nature by heart.. your calm and sweet presence was definitely felt. We look forward to rebooking when needed. Thank you infinitely!!”

About: As a cat owner myself, I know cats come with VERY different personalities. Some want cuddles immediately, some want to play nonstop, and some prefer to observe you suspiciously from across the room for three business days. I’m patient and happy to let them warm up to me at their own pace. I’ll make sure your cat is fed, comfortable, entertained, and given plenty of attention (on their terms, obviously). And yes-you can expect lots of photo updates because I will absolutely be taking pictures of them. 🐱 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m home most of the day and am only considering work-from-home opportunities, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already plan my days around my own pets (as every pet parent knows, they’re really the ones running the schedule 😂), so adding walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, or some extra cuddle time is something I genuinely enjoy. My flexibility also means I can accommodate different schedules and give your pets quality time without having to rush off to an office. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, gets their potty breaks or litter box cleaned, and of course gets plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles—if they’re into that! For walks, I’ll adjust the pace and length based on your dog’s energy level and needs. For cats, I’m perfectly happy to play with them for 30 minutes or respectfully coexist while they stare at me from across the room. 😹 Most importantly, I’ll keep an eye on your pet’s behavior and make sure they’re safe and comfortable. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know exactly how your little boss is doing while you’re away. 🐾

“I needed Shay for two days while my regular sitter was unavailable and IM SO HAPPY to find her! She has wonderful references and is so attentive and sweet to my babies. She is the perfect sitter, responsive, attentive, and treats my fur babies like true individuals. Very lucky to have found Shay and absolutely plan to use her services again in the future!!”

“Heather loves the dogs as much as the dogs love her, definitely recommend her!”

“Grateful Corey was available for a last minute pop-in when we both had to work late. He's reliable, and mostly importantly, the dogs love him.”

About: I worked at a specialty pet store for 2 1/2 years where I gained plenty of knowledge working with animals. Specifically, cats and dogs of all ages. A lot of my experience comes from helping with rescues that we collaborated with. I’ve grown up around many different types of animals and have plenty of experience taking care of sick, elderly, and young animals. I have plenty of time to pet sit or walk dogs! My schedule is very open and am often able to make last minute accommodations. I am unable to watch animals at my own house as I have outdoor and inside cats of my own. Although, exceptions can possibly be made depending on the case.

“Ashley is our go-to sitter for every situation. She’s extremely professional, punctual, and takes great care of our fur babies! Can’t recommend her enough!”

Caleb H.

“Leanne was great. Super communicative and sent photos every day.”

About: As you can see in my photos, I am a HUGE animal lover. I have my dog, who I cherish more than anything on this earth, and had four pet rats(rest in peace). I have experience with cats, rabbits, rats, hamsters, and a variety of different animals. I work with many different animal rescues & volunteer/donate regularly to help out as much as I can-I believe it is what I was born for. However, dogs have by far completely stolen my heart. I’ve owned dogs my entire life since I was a little girl and have only worked at dog grooming shops & stores. I have experience with dogs up to 150 pounds, I do not discriminate towards any dog, regardless of size or breed. I love them all. I love to surround myself with dogs, I think they are too pure for this world :+) It is a firm belief of mine that no client should ever have to worry about the care of their dogs while under a sitter’s watch, and I guarantee a wonderful, worry-free experience. I am currently unemployed and do not attend school, so I am available for 24/7 care if needed! I have my own pup to take care of, but my family takes care of her while i’m away :•) I know how to handle dogs very well & have lots of experience with dog trainers. As I can not bring any pets inside my own home, I can take all necessary precautions to make sure your pet is loved and cared for as if he/she were mine.
