About: Dogs have been a part of my world ever since I was 4 years old. I had three dogs growing up, Buddy, Archie, and Walker. They were the absolute BEST! My uncle used to be a private breeder (mostly just because he loved having a lot of dogs around) and I would go over weekly to help care for them. I've worked with all kinds of dog, big and small, from puppies to the oldest little guys you've ever seen and I love it! I am currently extremely available as my few jobs are also scheduled sporadically and with different lengths of notice so finding time within my weekly schedule is quite easy. I can accomplish just about anything to meet the needs of your beautiful dog/cat. Feeding, brushing, crating, walking, playing, administering medication, you name it! If you tell me, I can do it :)
“Alice was amazing! This was our first time leaving our (relatively new) dog, and we were nervous about how he’d do. She was so patient and gentle with him, letting him come to her at his own pace, and kept us updated with pictures and messages that put us at ease. By day two, he was totally comfortable with her, and we could relax knowing he was in great hands. She even went above and beyond when our flight got delayed, which we so appreciated. We came home to a happy dog and a spotless apartment. Thank you, Alice!”

“AMAZING sitter! He took great care of my cat, and checked in every day with pictures and updates. Clifmon left my house cleaner than when I had left, and I felt very confident with them taking care of my house and my cat during a trip out of state over thanksgiving. HIGHLY recommend Clifmon to anyone who wants a caring, compassionate, reliable sitter!”

About: I've had pet dogs and cats (multiple at once) for most of my life, and have been trusted by neighbors throughout my life to take care of their furry friends. I am a very active person who loves to play with and walk dogs with plenty of paw-sonal (lol) experience of handling different types of leash behavior. I am firm with the leash, generous with the treats and scratches, and totally down to walk to your dog's content! I work in the mornings Monday-Friday, but I can usually swing early morning visits (8am or earlier) and I am home most days by 3 for afternoon/evening bookings! I can occasionally fit in evening/overnight care on a client-to-client basis, feel free to message me to see if we can make our schedules align! I thrive when I am given clear instructions on your pet's wants/needs. When tasked to feed pets I do so on a regular time frame so your pet doesn't get hungry or anxious from a shifting schedule. I can provide as much attention as your pet needs, from playing fetch for an hour straight to simply chilling on the couch and giving pets and scritches a-plenty. I follow owner preferences on treatment of pets (i.e. frequency of treats/method of cleaning up after them/reenforcement of training and home rules).
“I highly recommend Josephine!! Super communicative and you can tell she really cares for dogs. 100% will continue to work with her as long as she wants to work with us! Thank you :)”

“Second time having Monique take care of Rose and she is great. Monique is friendly send updates with photos every day. Also leaves my home in great condition or better then when she arrived.”
“Adeib was a great dog sitter! He stayed in my apartment and cared for my dog very well, following all instructions and communicating all throughout the stay. He welcomed my overly detailed instructions and sent pictures to updated me. I felt so confident that my dog was well cared for and would absolutely book him again!”

“Madeline was absolutely amazing! Best dog sitter I’ve had since losing my last go-to person. She made me feel so safe and comfortable while I was away, which means everything. She went above and beyond for my poochie and treated her with such care and love. Truly grateful.”

“Carson was great! Super prompt. My dog seemed happy when I came home and she sent a picture while I was away to let me know all was well. Will definitely be asking her to come back!”

“Katrina was absolutely amazing with our dog! We went away for a friend's wedding only a few weeks after adopting our 3 year old terrier mix, and Katrina could not have been a more reliable, caring person to take care of him in our absence. Katrina has a natural warmth that put both us and our dog at ease, and it was clear both while we were away (through her amazing photo updates) and when we returned that he was well taken care of. We could not recommend her more highly and would love to work with her again!”

“Caroline is an outstanding sitter—professional, reliable and kind. She took careful care of our Max and showered him with affection. We received timely photos and video — evidence of what we saw when they met: Max loved Caroline. We absolutely will work with Caroline again!”

“Jaixa was an amazing caretaker for my dog Scarlet! They were so sweet and pleasant to work with, and kept me updated with cute pics of Scarlet on walks. I could tell she was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Jaixa—your pup will be in great hands! 🐾💖”

“Kaylamay exceeded my expectations dog sitting during my very first trip away from my puppy. She was so loving and attentive to Lucia, went above and beyond with any instruction I gave her about her daily routine, made sure she had plenty of exercise and playtime, and consistently sent photos and other updates throughout every single day to help ease my mind while away. She made the time away as easy as possible for both of us. I came home to a very happy puppy and a tidy home!”

“I’ve booked Steven several times for dog walking, but this was the first overnight dog sitting booking we’ve done, and of course, he did not disappoint! He was just as professional, responsive, and thoughtful as always. He also made sure to leave the house super clean and even stripped the bed linens for me before he left. And most importantly, I came home to an happy, healthy pup per usual. Always a pleasure working with him!!”

Adeib was a great dog sitter! He stayed in my apartment and cared for my dog very well, following all instructions and communicating all throughout the stay. He welcomed my overly detailed instructions and sent pictures to updated me. I felt so confident that my dog was well cared for and would absolutely book him again!

Vasil is an absolute dream sitter. He and my cat, Kasha, clicked instantly at the meet and greet, and after his overnight stay she’s completely smitten. He gave her so much attention and affection, and he was incredibly meticulous about following all of her care instructions as well as the apartment rules. I came home to a spotless space and a very happy cat. He’s definitely earned my trust. Honestly, I’m tempted to book drop-ins even when I don’t need them just so Kasha can have more time with her new bestie.

Justine was amazing with our brand new puppy! She was incredibly communicative, punctual, capable, and generally a nice person. Zook loved spending the day with her, and we even learned a few things about puppy care from her! Absolutely will be rebooking with her again.

May was a great dog sitter! We appreciated her clear communication, transparency, and gentleness. Most of all, we loved the patience she had from the moment she met him. May knew Courage was anxious and fearful, so she came early to ensure more warm up time. She gave constant updates on our pup. By the end of day 1, It was a joy to see him warm up to her and receive a spa-like weekend getaway - constant belly rubs, snackies, patient calm walks, and tug of war battles. We lucked out with May and would definitely have her care for Courage again.

Deisi was a great choice! She was on time and very personable. She connected with our anxious girls right away and seemed very calm and confident in staying with them. She sent us photos while we were out showing that they were relaxed and we appreciated the extra touch to send them for reassurance. Would definitely recommend and hope to use her services in the future.

This was our 2nd time using Abby and she was so good with Cheddar. She was also super flexible when my travel plans shifted due to the blizzard (and also having to walk Ched DURING a blizzard). Extremely grateful to have her take care of Cheddar and will use her again :)

Kyntel was absolutely wonderful with my dog! He stayed at my place for a week and a half while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. My dog adores him. Kyntel is trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely great with animals. I’ll definitely be booking him again.

Heather was so helpful when i needed a sitter to stay with my dog while i went to the eye doctor. She has a delightful personality, my dog adored her instantly. Heather cheerfully followed by complex instructions about locking my fridge, locking the gate to my kitchen and locking up my apartment so Purl wouldn't get into mischief or escape the apartment. She sent me photos of Purl enjoying her company and communicated professionally. She is an excellent sitter, i am pleased to recommend her.

We are very happy with Mariia. She took great care of Snooky, who is usually a bit shy but warmed up to her very quickly. She was extremely flexible and even offered an introductory meeting before the weekend, which was very reassuring for us as it was the first time we left Snooky since moving to New York
