“Adeib was fabulous! He kept me up to date with everything going on with my dog Cookie and sent me lots of pictures. Adeib is a natural when it comes to taking care of dogs.”

“Caroline was wonderful with my dog Sam! It was his first time spending the night without me and he had some anxiety but she handled it wonderfully and was very patient with him. I would absolutely have her sit for Sam again!”

“Rachel did a beyond perfect job watching my two kitties! She went above and beyond in her daily updates and sent pictures/videos of my boys every day. The house was just as clean if not cleaner when I returned home and she washed all the sheets, blankets and towels she used during her stay. I came home to healthy and happy kitties! Additionally, I was impressed by Rachel’s professionalism and immediate trustworthiness through her thorough outlining of what her clients can expect from her before I went away as well as her communication while I was away. I will definitely be requesting Rachel’s services in the future. Thanks Rachel!!!”

“Mika was so amazing with my two cats over a 2 week period! She was timely, sent updates and pictures, followed instructions for care, and was respectful of our home. My kitties both warmed up to Mika immediately (laying on her, showing bellies, etc.) and they were in perfect shape when we returned. They were very clearly loved and taken excellent care of. Would highly recommend her to anyone who wishes to have a sitter who treats your pets like her own! Thank you SO much, Mika! ❤️”

“Aidan was so caring and professional when it came to my pitbull mix, Base, sending plenty of pictures. I came home to a happy, healthy boy. Aidan was also so sweet to me and respectful of the space he was staying in. As we needed a last minute sitter, I am so so grateful that he was available and really came through. I look forward to hiring him again in the future.”
“Razan has watched Poe twice now and has been wonderful both times! She is very friendly, patient, and sweet with him as he warms up to her. She sends great photo updates during the stay which I really appreciate! She is also comfortable giving Poe his medication, feeding him, and taking him on walks. Very reliable and flexible. I will definitely book Razan again!”

About: My experience with animals goes beyond just having pets of my own! I’ve raised my cat, Khloe, since she was a newborn, cared for my boyfriend’s senior dog Gizmo (RIP), and even helped care for a family member’s puppy (Romeo) who was sick with a UTI. That meant keeping up with more frequent walks and giving the puppy extra attention throughout the week. I’ve also managed to keep three carnival goldfish (Darwin, Sayuri, and Mohawk) happy and healthy for over two years! From young pets who need supervision to senior pets who may need a gentler hand, I’ve learned every animal has different needs, but deserve the same patience consistency and love. I’m also a photographer and artist, so I LOVE catching those goofy moments that fill every pet owners phone gallery. If your pet becomes my buddy, don’t be surprised if you get an entire complimentary photo shoot! I will also be happy to clean your fur baby afterwards (yuck nyc floors) and provide poop bags, toys, treats, etc if needed! I’m currently in college full time, with Mondays and Wednesday’s being my most unavailable days. Tuesday,Thursday,Friday, and weekends are my best days. I have classes Tues-Thurs from 10:45-12pm, and periodically have classes on Thursday from 3:05 to 5:45. This is my last semester, so I will be graduating soon. We can work together to find the best schedule 🐾 Whether it is in my home or yours, my priority is making sure the fur baby is safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the usual feeding, walking, playtime, and rest routines as closely as possible. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep your pet areas cleaner than you left them, and make sure they have fresh food and water.
“Michele was quick to respond to any of our texts while she was taking care of our two cats, and sent us pictures daily. She was so kind as to come two days early to stay with one of our cats who was having some health issues. She paid extra attention to one of our cats who has health/behavioral issues and notified us of any issues the cats were having. We felt comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely hire her again!”

“I would highly recommend Asel as a pet sitter. She is considerate, responsible, reliable and wonderful with animals. Asel stayed in our home for 11 nights and took care of our dog and cat. Our cat is very easy, but our dog is a fairly new rescue who is a scared dog and often does not want to go outside for walks. Asel was very patient and bonded very quickly with both animals. She sent us pictures and updates every day during our trip. We came home to 2 very happy animals and our home was just as we left it!”

“Mia is absolutely delightful. She gave my very needy kitty a lot of attention, playtime and cuddles. She sent plenty of photos and updates. My kitty got comfortable with her immediately. I’m confident in Mia’s care and will definitely be hiring her again.”

“First time leaving our dog with anyone other than us and glad we found/felt comfortable leaving him with Jackson! Appreciated updates throughout the night and his attention to detail. will be sure to keep him in mind for future.”

“We are so happy that we found Adrienne to watch Macie & Sixpence! She sent daily updates on the, both and was quick to respond to my texts. Would 100% recommended her!”

“You know when you leave your dog for the weekend and she smells BETTER when you pick her up?! My dog so clearly had a great time with Mary (and her pup Graham!). Mary kept me updated throughout with such great photos, was communicative when needed, and is clearly just so great with dogs. My dog is… big and easily excited, so I worry about walkers/sitters keeping everyone safe on walks and dealing with the pulling. Mary had no issue with this, mostly because I think she’s such a calming and confident presence for my pup. Thanks Mary!!”

“Anna was amazing! Sam loved her since the first minute. She spent 15 days with him, everything was perfect and the apartment cleaner than before. 5 stars, I deeply recommend her!”


“Mirian was fantastic with our senior dog while we took a family trip abroad for a special occasion. We were able to truly enjoy our time away knowing that Nugget was getting lots of love, cuddles, and attentive care while we were gone. Mirian was punctual, detail-oriented, highly engaged, asked great questions about food and medication schedules, and overall made us feel very confident that we were leaving Nugget (and our apartment) in safe and capable hands. We enjoyed the photos and communication while we were away, and we were grateful to come home to our boy to find him happy and like he hadn't even skipped a beat. Highly recommend!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better Rover in Emily! She sent photos throughout the weekend, gave us regular updates, and replied quickly whenever we reached out. From her updates, it was clear she stuck to our pup’s routine and gave him plenty of walks and playtime. We never had to wonder how he was doing, and we knew he was in great hands the whole time. He was happy and relaxed when we got home. We’ll definitely book her again and recommend her to any dog owner. Thank you!

Karl is an incredibly professional and kind dog sitter that I give the highest recommendation for his services. I was away for three days and Karl gave daily updates and photos of Huey, who was having a wonderful time! Karl treated Huey with the utmost of care and attention as well as being a meticulously conscientious house guest in my apartment with everything in perfect order. Your pet and home will be in the best hands with Karl!

Macie did an amazing job staying with our 6 year old golden retriever while we were gone for the weekend! She kept us updated with photos every day and came over before to introduce herself and meet our pup. We would highly recommend her and will definitely book again!

Reena is fantastic! She is the best sitter we’ve had and highly recommend booking with her. She eased my anxiety immediately, asked the right questions, and was super communicative + kind. Reena was very attentive to our 12 yr old cat with arthritis (who has daily medication and is a picky eater) and our 3 yr old shy cat who can take some time to warm up. They both absolutely loved her and would even cuddle at night. We received multiple daily photos and detailed updates, which allowed us to fully enjoy our week away without worry. Reena also left our apartment spotless. We will be booking her again! 🫶

Ashley was amazing! She stepped in when our care fell through at the 11th hour and far exceeded any expectations. She took excellent care of our Roo: she took her on good walks, did some training, and made sure she was happy and healthy. She provided lots of welcome updates so my husband and I could feel at ease. We will absolutely be choosing Ashley again :)

Karaline is so wonderful! Our pup Koopa loved her from their first meet & greet. Karaline is great at communicating and sent us many updates/photos/video during our time away. We recently adopted Koopa and don't want to leave her alone for several hours, so having Karaline there for the evening was a huge relief. She made sure Koopa had her toys and stayed out of trouble, and also showed patience and care when Koopa had an accident in the house. Karaline was very attentive to Koopa who still has her anxious, hyper energy from coming out of a shelter recently. Koopa was able to relax in her care. It was a great experience for everyone and we'd love to have Karaline back sometime!!

Kyla was wonderful! She took such great care of Sadie and made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and thoughtful. I could tell Sadie was in great hands, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would happily book with her again!

Shirley was AMAZING! I had such a wonderful experience with her, and Diamond was clearly so loved and spoiled while I was away. Shirley kept me updated throughout my trip and was always quick to respond whenever I checked in, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond by tidying up the place and left both Diamond and the house in perfect shape. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Shirley to anyone! ❤️

Cassandra was the best! She went above and beyond when we needed her to stay with the dogs for an extra night. Before that she took the time to meet the dogs to get to know them and our apartment. Cassandra kept us updated every day and asked great questions on the best way to care for them. We would absolutely ask Cassandra to care for the dogs again!!

Kaila was a wonderful sitter for our senior dog, who is shy and fairly high-maintenance. She gave him a lot of patience and care, and she sent us frequent updates, so we never had to wonder how things were going. We went away knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Kaila!

Excellent. Professional in every way. Caring and loving to our goldendoodle Alice and Ethan treated us and Daisy as if we were family. Regular updates and photos. And our apartment was pristine on our return. I give them 5 starts only because there is nothing higher.
Caoimhe is awesome! Highly recommended! I was on a business trip for 4 days and i was impressed with the level of care she provided to my senior cat! Caoimhe was fantastic in keeping me updated with how my cat was doing with frequent pics and messages! I just came back home today and my cat was happy and relaxed as if i had never left home! Will be booking Caoimhe again on my next trip!!!

Maura was an amazing dog/house sitter! She sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She took great care of Miley and my home, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
