“Tara’s the best! Always takes great care of our fur babies. We had a family emergency and needed our pets taken care of. She helped us out last minute. She’s always reliable. Thanks Tara!”


“Craig was amazing! He helped me out tremendously when I needed a dog sitter last minute for my 5 month old puppy. Not only did he provide me with pictures and details about his visits throughout the week, he also taught my puppy patience when it comes to feeding time and other ways to address her nipping. I would highly recommend Craig and would definitely use him again in the future!”


“Jalyne is responsive and very kind! My cat took to her immediately. She goes above and beyond to pay attention to detail and follow any directions requested. I really appreciate that about her. Will be using her again. Thanks Jalyne!”

“Margaret is seriously the best! From the second she walked in, Max and Romeo were obsessed with her. Max can be a little anxious at times, but she knew exactly how to approach him, calm and gently. She handled both of them with so much love and confidence. She kept me updated and made everything so easy and stress-free. Dogs love her, and it’s easy to see why. I’m definitely booking her again!”

About: I love all cats and dogs! After having a dog for over 7 years and taking care of dogs and cats around my neighborhood, I am very prepared for taking care of your pet. I am here for your pet in any way you need! I work part time and have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I can come multiple times a day and go in plenty of walks. In my own home, I have an electric fence and I take my dog on plenty of walks throughout the day to give her exercise. I snuggle with her and give her plenty of love and attention.

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life (cat and dogs). I’ve had my cat Sophie for 15 years which is a true testament to how much love she’s gotten! My sweet 15-year-old senior kitty who is thoroughly spoiled (as all cats should be!). Im a passionate animal lover who truly sees pets as family. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in loving hands while you’re away, and I treat every animal I care for with the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and set in their ways, I will adapt to their unique needs and routines. I’m especially comfortable with senior cats and those who need a little extra care and gentleness. I’d love to keep your furry friend happy, relaxed, and well-loved while you’re gone! Let me know if you’d like to chat—I’m excited to meet you and your pet! I work hybrid (mostly remote) and can do drop-in visits early morning and around dinner time. Weekends I have flexibility as well! Can suit the care to whatever your pets needs are! I am unable to watch pets in my home, but I am more than happy to do drop in visits and care for your pet in their environment.

About: I am available for anything you may need such as dog/cat sitting, drop ins, walks, and much more. Please feel free to contact me here! I’m generally available Thursday through Sunday at varying times and eager to play with & take care of your pet. Looking forward to connecting with you soon! I can go to your place but my apartment is not an option unfortunately. I would be happy to help you at your home in nyc or Westchester

About: I’ve taken care and loved dogs since I was 8. Ive been a foster for several dog shelters and had the pleasure of taking care of those who needed a home, even if it was temporary. I have dogs of my own back at home and take very good care of them! I’m patient and love raising dogs and am more than willing to take care of ones that aren’t mine! I am currently a student so I’m not working at this moment. With an open weekly schedule, all you have to do is let me know when you need me! If I am a sitter then I would just stay at your house while you are away of course! I’m always available on weekends too. I would visit and walk the dog as needed without making a mess in your home! I am comfortable with any type of dog! With my own dogs, I walk them constantly throughout the day and keep them on a consistent schedule.

About: I grew up with dogs all my like and was responsible for taking care of them too. Now I have my own little boy who I love very much. Always trusted by friends and family to care for their pets. I’ll always treat your pet like my own! I’m a mom who is home regularly and can make time for pets throughout the day. I’m also around most weekends to care for your babies. I treat everyone’s pet like my own. If a client is ok with their dog out and about I prefer it that way. If not, that is fine too. Other pets can remain in their environments or have space of their own to roam and play.

About: After five years of dog-sitting and building my clientele, I am moving into a rental space that doesn't allow dogs. I would love to care for your pet by taking them for a 30-min walk in your neighborhood or checking in on them while you are away. I am an early riser, and with advance notice, I can walk your dog between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. most days. I am happy to accommodate other times during the day as needed. I must meet you and your dog before accepting the job, and build rapport with the dog. It would help me to know more about your dog, their preferences, interests, and any behavior related to their care.

About: Reliable and caring dog walker with a passion for keeping pets happy, healthy, and active. Experienced in providing safe and fun outdoor adventures tailored to each pup’s needs. I’m currently working part time as a nanny, so I have spare time during the day for walking pets. I have weekends off so I tend to dog sit/house sit if my clients need. I care for pets in the hospitality of the family’s home. “Reliable and caring dog walker with a passion for keeping pets happy, healthy, and active. Experienced in providing safe and fun outdoor adventures tailored to each pup’s needs.”

“Marissa was absolutely wonderful with my puppy (about 5 months old). We had her drop in to take Willow out for walks and just generally play with her and she truly was fanstastic. She kept me very well updated, sent plenty of photos and once I got home Willow was always in good spirits. Highly recommend she was incredibly easy to work with as well.”


About: I have experience in pet sitting for my neighbors, friends and family. I would feed, walk, play and clean up after my furry friends :) I am a full time student at Iona University! But my schedule ends very early so I have lots of free time for a side hustle such as pet sitting. I live in a fenced community where there are several other pets :) My town also has beautiful parks and my school campus is gorgeous and great because they also allows you to walk your pets on campus!

About: I have had dogs for my whole life. Taking care of dogs and playing with them are my passion. Since my mom was a dog groomer and dog walker I have alot of experience with all type stuff of dog services. Since I have not been able to have my own dog in my house I would love to share my love of dogs by caring for other people’s. Trust in that I will love your pet just like it was my own. My kids and I love dogs and to care for them would be the best thing. Please let me provide this service. Providing love and care for these animals would be my passion. I love it all. Texting me is the best way to contact me.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and hands-on experience with training. I’ve trained my own dog to do both basic commands and fun tricks (I’m not a professional but worked hard to get him where I wanted him to be) but I’m confident in handling pets with patience and positive reinforcement. I have had animals all my life and have watched family members dogs for as long as i can remember. I’m attentive to the unique needs of each pet, whether it’s a playful pup or a senior who needs a little extra care and comfort. I currently have 3 dogs all at different ages. I work full-time during the week, but my fiancé has an opposite schedule, which allows us to provide flexible and consistent pet care coverage. Between the two of us, someone is almost always home, making it easier to accommodate different pet needs, whether it’s daytime walks, evening feedings, or just keeping your pet company throughout the day. In my home, pets are cared for like part of the family. We have a secure, fenced yard where they can safely play and get fresh air. Inside, they have a cozy, clean space to relax with plenty of attention and affection. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or administering medications. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress while you’re away.

Serena & Robert M.
“As serena’s mom, I’ve had the pleasure of watching their love for animals grow from a young age. They have always been kind, responsible, and incredibly gentle with pets. From training their own dog to caring for friends’ and family’s pets, they’ve shown a natural ability to connect with animals and provide them with the attention and care they need. Our home has always been full of animals, and serena has played a big role in making sure they are happy, healthy, and well-loved. They’re attentive to routines, quick to notice if something seems off, and always ready to play, walk, or cuddle with a furry friend. I fully trust Serena with any animal, and I know they will treat every pet as if it were their own.”
