Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Gravesend-Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, NY

“Lina did a wonderful job dropping in on my kitty. She followed all the instructions for my cat's complex feeding regimen. She is an excellent and prompt communicator. When I returned from my trip, my cat was much calmer than after previous trips. I am looking forward to working with Lina again. Thank you so much!”

“Aleksander is a life saver. He made himself available with very short notice to drop in on my cat while I was out of town. He is friendly and conscientious.”

About: I've taken care of cats my whole life, at home, working for doggy daycares and Wag!. I have done 60+ home visits and have cared for cats and dogs with all types of personalities. Im currently working from home part time and have adequate space in my day for walks, and sits. Also open for cat and dog boarding. Always watching the pets and what they are doing. Making sure they are not making a mess and clean if they do. Change food and water and clean the litter box

About: I've been walking dogs on and off for some time now. Whether it is a dog that's part of the family or a paid walking session. I know how to handle all kinds of dogs and will be super fun and energetic when it comes to being with your dog. I'm very active as well and will play with your dog or go for long walks or even runs. I will send updates throughout the day/walk so you know how your pupper is doing and I know what to do if your dog happens to get into something that you wouldn't like them to be in. I love animals, especially dogs, and I treat them as what they are-part of the family. I know how special your dogs are to you and will treat them as such. I work remotely in my home. Im able to take pets on multiple walks a day. I’m very active and energetic and love exploring with pets. I have a fenced yard and two crate trained fur babies. They’re super friendly and welcome all animals. They are used to cats - as i have a beautiful cat fur baby-so we’re open to all.

About: NOTE: I charge $60 as my flat fee for 6 hours of homestays. After that I charge an extra $5 for each hour per dog. (this is negotiable for repeat clients). I am usually unavailable Tues/Thurs evenings after 6pm. I also only do overnight stays for repeat clients. Hi! I've been around both dogs and cats my whole life and have been a primary caretaker of everything from puppies and kittens to senior pets to pets with special needs. My own two cats can attest that I'm ready and willing to do everything I can to give them a good life. I'm energetic and dependable, I'm also strong so your big dog won't get a leg up on me! You can rely on me to bathe, walk, feed, give medication, or even just some extra love to your pet! I'm also good with boundaries, (important for cats especially) and have worked with breeds from toy Morkie's to giant Shepards! I’m a freelancer, so my schedule changes often, but I am usually free except for Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Those are usually reserved. I only do walks within a 20 minute train ride, but will do sittings all over the city! (Note: I charge a 10% cancellation fee if cancelled within 24 hrs of service) I am respectful of all wishes when it comes to drop-in visits and your home, and keep to common areas, I'm also willing and in fact, encourage picture updates of your pet's care (and to reassure you if you have anxiety over leaving your pet with a stranger like I sometimes do). As for walks, there are no headphones or any other distractions to me when I walk your pet. I stay along well lit streets, and aware of your dogs needs at all times.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs from puppy to senior. I’ve also taken care of many family and friends pets. Very comfortable with giving medicine or any specific care. Will shower your pet with the same love I would give my family dog. I work full time during the week so I am only available in the evening on weekdays and I can provide 24/7 care on weekends. I am very familiar with getting acquainted with new animals. I will quickly earn the affection and trust of your pet in order to take care of them in whatever way is needed.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since 15. I gained all of my experience that I have today through taking care of neighbors, friends, colleagues, and family’s pets. I am a loving, kind, caring, and patient person. I learned so much from caring for animals, that I adore them so much! Also additional, I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I’m currently a college student, my classes are held online. Which gives me plenty of time to spend with the doggies. My weekends are busy but I can do mornings only. Because the weekends are the only days I have to finish my college work. I care for my clients pets like if they were my own. I make sure to make my clients pets feel as comfortable and safe as possible, like if they were in their own home. I love taking my time to get to know my clients pets because each pet has their own personality! I also make sure to follow any rules or meal plans that my clients leave for their pets.

“So lovely and our cat loves her!!”

“I’m very happy with the service provided by Lynn. My cat is not an easy case and Lynn was able to establish a contact with her (not to mention able to medicate the cat as prescribed).”

“This was my first time using Rover and leaving my cat at home for a week. Esther made me relieved on my trip by following all the instructions I left and uploading pictures of Salem every visit. She also brought up my mail which was very appreciated! Overall a great experience and I would definitely recommend her. Thanks again!”

About: Hello, my name is Tyler, and I’ve been a pet owner to my dogs pinky and fendi for the past 14 years. I have also taken care of the dogs of my family and friends, and always make sure that they feel comfortable in their environment. All pets are family to me, and feel comfortable in my care. Looking forward to meeting your fluffy friends! I am currently working in a school, but get out at 3 everyday. So I will be ready to walk your pet for evenings and on weekends. When a pet comes into my home, I try to make them feel as comfortable as possible. When in a clients home, I try to keep them in their regular routine, and make sure that whatever is asked by the owner is completed without fail.

About: I believe pets are like any other family member and should be treated with kindness and love :) In addition to being a pet sitter, I’m an EMT and find passion in helping others. I have many years of professional experience in pet sitting and have tended to all animals. Your pets will feel loved and safe when they’re in my care <3 I love to stay busy! What better way to spend an off day with a furry friend? I take care of pets everyday and would love to add your fur babies into my routine :) Your baby’s safety is as important to me as mine. I would never put any animal in harms way and have fences to separate animals if things ever got out of hand. Safety and fun are my #1 priorities.

“Nina was great! She was so patient and caring to my kitties- Even one that is extremely shy and wary of strangers. She won him over in the end, and they looked great when I got back home from my trip.”

About: I have a lot of experience caring for animals, both through volunteer work and for friends. In Ukraine, I volunteered with animal rescue missions where I helped ensure animals were safe, comfortable, fed, and loved. I often took dogs on walks and made sure they felt calm and cared for during stressful times. Friends have also trusted me to look after their pets—both by staying in their homes and by having their pets stay with me. I always treat animals with kindness and attention, making sure they feel secure, well-fed, and happy. I take this responsibility seriously and genuinely enjoy building trust with the animals I care for. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate busy workdays, early mornings, and evenings something many NYC pet parents need. I’m punctual, reliable, and organized. I plan my day carefully to ensure each pet receives proper attention without being rushed. Long walks and check-ins are something I genuinely enjoy, not just a task. I always prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of my client’s home and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed, whether that means active playtime or quiet companionship. I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations and always double-check doors, leashes, and surroundings during walks.

“Bazarkul is the absolute best cat sitter I’ve ever had! My boy had such a wonderful time with her. She took great care of my cat, and she also looked after my two snakes and three geckos. She’s super professional and shared some really helpful advice that made my cat’s life so much better.”

About: I’ve cared for multiple dogs over the years and most recently raised a Shiba Inu, which has given me a deep understanding of different dog personalities and needs. I’m very familiar with canine body language and behavior, allowing me to read signals early and respond calmly and appropriately. I truly understand that every dog is unique—some are energetic and independent, while others are sensitive and need extra reassurance. I adjust my care style based on each dog’s temperament, comfort level, and routine, whether that’s supporting playful puppies or providing gentle, patient care for senior dogs. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and empathy. I pay close attention to subtle changes in mood, posture, and behavior to ensure each dog feels safe, understood, and relaxed. I always prioritize safety, consistency, and emotional well-being, treating every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins without rushing. I’m able to give pets my full attention during the times I’m caring for them, rather than fitting them in as an afterthought. I’m consistent and reliable with routines and schedules, and I’m happy to accommodate specific timing needs whenever possible. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended care, I make sure each pet receives enough time, care, and attention to feel comfortable and secure. I also communicate clearly and provide updates, so pet parents can feel at ease knowing their pets are well cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and relaxed. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with close supervision, regular potty breaks, structured feeding times, and plenty of affection and playtime. I make sure pets have their own space to rest and adjust, especially if they’re shy or need quiet time. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care guidelines carefully. I ensure timely feedings, walks, playtime, and any special care needed. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure the pet is comfortable and stress-free. I treat every pet as an individual and adjust my care based on their age, energy level, and personality. Throughout the stay, I provide updates and photos so pet parents feel confident and reassured.

“I can’t recommend Jackey enough. She is truly wonderful, kind, and so thoughtful. She sent regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She was always responsive and communicative. Most importantly, she was incredibly sweet and patient with my cat, who isn’t the easiest and is currently going through a lot of changes in his life. It was clear she really cared about his comfort and emotional well-being, not just the basics. I came home to a calm, well-cared-for cat, and that means everything to me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable animal person.”

“Keti was wonderful with my cat, I’ve never seen him so friendly with a stranger. He was the happiest I’ve ever seen him after coming back from a trip. She did a great job taking care of him and we couldn’t be happier.”
