“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!”

“Elena was a great pet sitter, I absolutely loved her! She took care of everything my cat needed and that we agreed. She took the time to get to know him and the attention was all focused on him. It was the best sitter I had so far. Definitely booking again! Thanks Elena, it is so great to have peace of mind even leaving the little one.”

About: I have grown up having a dog. My dog is now 18 years old (I know!) Friends and family know me as an animal lover. I will treat your pets as if they were my own! I’m currently home full time which gives me the opportunity to care for your pets around the clock! I welcome pets into my home or can come to yours! I am open to boarding pets in our home if you would prefer! We have a large fenced in back yard for them to get exercise. I can also come to your home to care for them as well!
“Lorenzo did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Lacey! He came over for a few hours, took her on a nice walk, played with her, and made sure she was comfortable and happy the entire time. It was clear that Lacey felt at ease with him, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend Lorenzo to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!”

“!!WOW!! We had such an amazing experience with Andrew and we are thrilled to know we can continue to rely on him to help us watch our little babies! We had last minute sitting changes and needed to find someone to watch our two dogs during a holiday weekend the night before. Andrew was quick to respond and worked magic with his schedule in order to help us on such short notice! His communication while we were away was fantastic, full of sweet messages and pictures!! We felt so comforted knowing Andrew was there to be with them and take care of them. We will absolutely be asking him to help us out for all of our future trips and sitting needs for them!”

“Becky is fantastic! She helped take care of our puppy in the afternoons for a drop in visit and did an amazing job! Our Teddy loves her! She was on time , polite and had great communication skills! We loved getting the updates and awesome pictures! Thank you Becky for doing such a wonderful job caring for Teddy!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my home for 14 years and cats my whole life. I’ve had dogs of small and large sizes and can handle a dog of any personality I am currently a full time college student looking to get more involved in my community. I have a pretty free schedule for drop ins or walks I do not offer in home service at this time. I can provide walks and drop ins only! sorry if this is inconvenient, thank you.

About: What truly sets me apart is the love and attention I give to every pet I care for. Whether it’s the playful energy of a puppy or the gentle needs of a senior pet, I offer personalized care that feels just like home. I’m experienced in training puppies, administering medications, and providing comfort to elder dogs. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities, and I treat every furry friend with the same care and affection I’d give my own Pet care is part of my everyday routine (always has been). I make sure pets get their meals, exercise, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, I focus on what makes each pet feel comfortable and happy. I stick to their routine and adjust for any special needs, so they feel right at home while you're away. If I’m looking after pets in your home, I make sure to stick to their usual routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any other special care they need. I take extra care to maintain their familiar environment and ensure they’re safe and happy while you’re away.
About: Hi! I grew up with dogs and cats and now am mom to a large dog. I bring calm, confident care to your pets so you can be at ease when you have to be away from them. I'm active and fit so whether your furry friend wants long walks or just snuggles on the couch, I can meet their needs. I'm mature, responsible, and will treat your pal and your home as my own. I'm currently working part-time so have lots of flexibility for regular walks/drop-ins or last-minute needs. Generally, I'm available from 7:30 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. I'm not available Monday and Tuesday evenings. I'm accustomed to caring for my large dog, including getting her into her crate and putting a muzzle on when needed. I've also gotten really good at delivering oral meds to a dog who has a remarkable ability to separate pills from treats! I will be honest and communicative.
About: My deep, personal love for animals started with my childhood golden retriever. Since losing him, I've missed the daily joy and companionship that pets bring. Being able to interact with animals again has become a way for me to reconnect with that special bond I once had. I am very attentive to emotional and physical needs and treat every pet like family! Currently, I am a full-time physician assistant student and am in clinical rotations at different hospitals and clinics across NY. Whenever I'm not working with humans, I want to care for your pet! :) When caring for pets at your home or around the block, I want to do my best to make sure that your animal is maintaining their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I see value in sending regular updates and cleaning up after your pet!

“Jennifer has been our cat caretaker for a couple of long trips and we couldn’t be happier with her support and care. Our two cats have differing personalities and she is able to get on their level giving them time to warm up and become friends. You’ll come back to a clean home and happy pets. We know our pets are in good hands when with Jennifer!”

“Faiza is incredible! Super nice, personable and outgoing…She is very thorough, detailed and truly cares about the pets she is sitting for. Asks lots of follow-up questions and keeps everything clean and tidy.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a young boy, and when I turned 15 I started my own Dog Walking service in my home town of Hoboken NJ. I ran it for 3 years straight building a vast clientele basis until I moved to Pace University for college. Can’t wait to meet all of your adorable pets!!! Would be able to do walks any day during any time of the day and more then happy to do pet sitting in your home if needed!!! I’ve always cared for pets in a special way since I was a young child. I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a little boy and try even if I am with the dog for only a short period of time to give the dog as much love and care as possible

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.
