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.

“Katharine has been a great Rover w my dog. She got her to eat even tho my dog is very picky to eat when we are not home so that to me means a lot and tells me my dog felt safe and secure with her in their visits. I will definitely book her again.”

“Shay was fantastic from start to finish while checking in on our two cats daily during a vacation! She was detail oriented and paid close attention to our fur-babies’ personalities, preferences, and favorite toys. It was always very clear that she truly cared about the cats’ well-being and it didn’t feel like just a job. Highly highly recommend!”

“Bertha did an amazing job taking care of my puppy, Ammi! She was reliable, kind, and kept me updated with photos and messages. Ammi looked so happy and well cared for when I got back. I highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”

About: Hello, my name is Jacinta & I have loved animals my entire life. Yes, I know, everyone says that, but my dads favorite story to tell anyone willing to listen is that when I was about 4/5 years old, I would constantly bug him and ask if we could get a dog. So to get me to stop asking, he told me sure, we could get a dog when I turn 10. Sure enough, when I turned 10, the first thing I asked was where my dog was. Shocked I still remembered he quickly came up with something else to distract me😅 We finally got our first family dog when I was a freshman in high school, then another when I was a sophomore. A spunky little chihuahua terrier, and a loving husky malamute mix. Later on my sister got a dog of her own, an incredibly smart red heeler who I babysat whenever possible. So I am extremely well versed in dogs big, small, and medium! My very first part time job was working at Petsmart in the doggie day care where I spent all day taking care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Throughout college I would watch my roommates maltipoo while she went home for breaks. I would house/dog sit my friends pit-bull mix over the weekends whenever he was out of town. My senior year in college I even fostered a friend’s cat for almost a year! I am the first call when someone in my family is looking for someone to dog sit. I still occasionally house sit my cousins two American Eskimos or take them on walks whenever needed. My fiancé and I just got engaged and we are trying to save up some money for all the incoming expenses so what better way than to spend it with the things I love most! (Second to him😅) I work full time but am available week days after 4pm and most weekends! I am open to house sitting, drop ins, walks, or any of your babies needs! I would love to come play with your pets or come say hi, so please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am open to any and all suggestions and requests for care! I work full time but am available week days after 4pm and most weekends! I am open to house sitting, drop ins, walks, or any of your babies needs! I’ve had ample experience house sitting pets and will treat your home as if it were my own. My main objective is to make sure your fur baby feels safe and comfortable.

“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: My genuine love for animals coupled with my high level of responsibility and strong common sense makes me not only a compassionate pet care professional, by also a reliable one. I will treat your pet like my own and bend over backwards to make sure that they are safe and well-loved in my care. I also have several years of professional pet care experience that has equipped me with the knowledge neccessary to interpret animal behavior and care for them properly. I provide pet sitting and dog walking services through other companies as well, so my schedule varies a bit from day to day. Please reach out to confirm a time with me. I am very detail-oriented and follow instructions well. When walking, I am aware of my surroundings at all times and make sure to keep a safe distance from other dogs and/or unsafe situations. When dropping in for a visit, I am privvy to any potential hazards for pets and make sure to close cabinets/doors/etc. that could invite mischief.

“I couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter than Mindy! She went over and beyond taking care of my cat while I was away. I booked relatively last minute and had a few late adjustments to my travel plans but Mindy was very understanding and flexible. She provided plenty of updates during her visits and I could tell she genuinely cared about my cat’s well-being. I had a great experience with Mindy and would absolutely recommend her to others!”

“Excellent sitter. Played with our cat, fed him, changed his litter robot and was very observant to things around the house and with our cat (noticed a new bald spot on our cats leg). Would definitely book Madeline again!!”

Daniel A.

“The best!”

Meryl K.

“Great sitter”

“Jacquie was wonderful!! Very communicative, and such a big help. My cat immediately was comfortable with her and it seemed like they had a good time together! Will be rebooking and highly recommend her with any furry friend.”

About: Since childhood, I’ve always had pets. My mom taught me to love and care for them, and to see them not just as animals but as part of the family. I’m a stay-at-home mom, but my child goes to daycare, so I have time to take care of and walk your pets. And I’m flexible I stay at home all day, so I can give your child my full attention—playing, cuddling, and doing everything they need to feel loved and not miss you too much while you’re away.

“Always professional and very communicative, love Tracy and her care for my pup!”

Heather R.

About: All dogs have different personalities and I enjoy getting to know each one. I’ve been trusted to dogsit for friends and family over the years and for our time together I definitely treat them as if they’re my own. My time is flexible and I’m available most days of the week. I have a part-time job that has a varied schedule but I’m always open to communicate time slots that could work for both our schedules. I do my best to keep a keen eye on the whereabouts and curiosities the pet may get into. I make sure that I stay on track for any dietary conditions that are provided and if approved, give treats when necessary.

“We booked Ginneh based on a recommendation from our foster parents to our 2 kittens and I am glad we did! She followed our instructions about feeding and she cleaned litter and surroundings very thoroughly. She even brought churu treat from her own house! She sent us pictures for every visit and that was really good for us. I have two shy kittens but on second day of Ginneh’s visit, the kittens were used to her already and giving scratches and playing with her!! Overall, I am happy with her care and I will book her again for future! Thank you Ginneh :)”

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

“John’s visits with Cooper and Summer brightened up their mornings and evenings. He has been great with both of them, being kind and flexible to their needs. Thank you!”

“Bella has looked after my dog and cat on separate occasions. She sends detailed updates with pictures and videos. Both pets were very well taken care of (and enjoyed being with her) and I immediately trusted her after the first visit (and I do not trust most people to take care of my animals). She left me a lovely note and printed photos of my cat the first time and a photo of my dog the next time. Bella goes above and beyond. I am so grateful.”

Alexa M.

“Aksana did a great job looking after my kitties! she was very communicative and followed the directions I gave to a tee! I definitely will be rebooking in the future any time I need a sitter.”
