“Rachel has been amazing with Leo! He truly enjoys her company and walking with her! She’s got it down to a science with him, he’s a Frenchie and gives a hard time to walk but she’s been able to get him moving! Thank you Rachel for taking care of Leo when I have long days! You’re appreciated!”

About: I am a physician assistant student looking for some extra income 👩🏻⚕️ I have many years of experience caring for my pets and pets of family and friends.

“Katelyn was amazing with my dogs! They are sometimes particular about who walks them but they took to her immediately. You can tell she is natural animal lover and dog whisperer! She listened carefully to our directions based on their preferences and was happy to accommodate Artie and Rudy’s needs. We will definitely be using Katelyn again in the future!”


“We love Chelsy and our active dog loves Chelsy. She's very caring and responsible and communicates very well. Highly recommended, and will definitely consider her for future pet care needs.”


About: This time in my Life is the first time, I have not had a dog of my own. I have had a dog since I was about 8 yrs old. I love dogs, all dogs and for some reason, I have yet to meet a dog who doesn't like me. I will always treat your dog like my own. At this time in my life.. I want to Love everyone else's dogs. I am retired and home almost all days, and if I am not home and watching someone's dog, I would more than likely take them with me. I enjoy going to dog park with my Nephew Dogs and basically just love hanging out with dogs. I live in an apartment and have no pets. I would make all dogs feel comfortable and I allow Pets on furniture and have toys and treats always in the house. I would take them for walks and dog park. Just talking about it, makes me happy.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, and it’s something that has always come naturally to me. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets, and I love being that reliable person they can count on. Each pet has their own personality, and I really enjoy figuring out what makes them feel happy and comfortable — whether it’s a puppy who needs extra playtime or a senior dog who just wants calm companionship. Alongside my pet care experience, I’m CPR-certified for animals and also work as an EMT (for humans, though!), which has given me strong skills in responsibility, patience, and staying calm in any situation. I bring that same level of care and attentiveness to every pet I look after, making sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family while their people are away. I work part-time as an EMT and full days as a medical assistant on Mondays and Tuesdays (and some weekends), which leaves me with a flexible schedule the rest of the week. Spending time with pets is honestly a perfect balance to my medical work — it feels like a little getaway, and I’ve really missed being around animals. Caring for pets lets me combine something I love with helping out families who need reliable support. I believe pets are happiest in their own familiar space, so I prefer to care for them in their home where they feel most comfortable. I follow each family’s routines closely — walks, meals, medication, and beyond to make sure pets feel safe and secure. With my healthcare background and pet CPR certification, I bring an extra level of attentiveness and responsibility. My goal is to make your pets feel loved and cared for, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands!

I know most of the dogs in my neighborhood from walking my son Mickey. Mickey is super friendly, and cuddly Puggle. He is 10 years old and unfortunately he has limited eye site. He shares, and loves doggies to visit. The reason I do this: I would love 2 dogs, but my husband says there's not enough room on our bed. So having sleep overs fills my need for a 2nd dog.

Bring what your dog needs to feel at home, leash, food, their bed/blanket (we have extra beds and dog dishes), favorite toy, or snacks. My house is small but our hearts are big❤️, we have room to make all our pets feel like they are home! I don't like to take more then 3 dogs at a time for sleep overs. That's just enough for me and my husband to stay cozy with your pet and mine. One at a time is preferred. I also administer medication both oral and injected for those needing.

About: Hi there my furry friends! I've been around animals my entire life. From volunteering at animal shelters to sitting and training my friends dogs. I've been a vegan for the past 20 years and I'm an active animal equality activist and severe lover. Food, fitness and animals are my world! I've had dogs my entire life and have trained them all myself. Don't worry, I don't discriminate against your age or breed. You're perfect the way you are. Size though.... yes but only because my apartment is very small! I'm not strict about canceling or last minute bookings. It's no big deal! Life happens! I love to stay active and promote a healthy lifestyle which includes love for all creatures of earth! Feel free to message me with any questions you may have. How long have I been dog sitting? My entire life! I became vegan at the age of 6 and have been an active animal activist ever since. I've volunteered at animal shelters and even trained my friends dogs. I've never had a time in my life where I didn't have a dog in my home. My father was this way as well. He used to be a breeder and trainer so he taught me everything I know. At one point we had 32 pets in (or out of) the home (all different species), including an alligator! Can I administer medication? If you need to take a pill everyday, put on special creams, have special food prepared for you, that's fine. Shots, I'm not experienced in byt have no problem following your instruction. I freelance so I create my schedule. It all depends on the dates. I'm mostly home. I'm an actress and voiceover artist so unless I'm booked for something, I'm home. How do I care for them? I give all the love, fun and snuggles that I can and the rest is up to your instruction! You tell me what you need and I got you!

About: I have decades of experience caring for pets, mostly my own. I grew up in a house full of dogs and have maintained that my whole life. Also had a great cat, hamsters and other pets. I believe animals deserve the best care possible as our “best friends” and beloved family members. I have extensive experience too in customer service and am highly solution-oriented. If you need me in a moments notice, always happy to do it if available. I have many years of experience also serving on boards at various animal shelters as well as volunteering to walk/care for dogs and cats and these locations. Even ran the NYC marathon as a top fundraiser for the ASCPA. My priorities in order are: god, pets, then people. Think I’ve got that in good order! 🥰 Currently between full time jobs and looking for a change of pace as well as to build a business that can extend into charitable resources beyond my income to help animals in need. I will follow your instructions exactly as detailed as well as use my years of experience should something occur or I notice a need/potential issue. My goal is to make the visit as enriching for your pet as possible. I think they sense that on me as animals tend to gravitate toward me, even the most shy and skittish. We live a nice life but my dogs probably even better than I. I provide them with superior care and lots of love. Animals are very perceptive and so I work to extend that same level of connection to all animals I meet, which would include yours if you select me for your pet care needs. Thank you!

About: As a dedicated pet lover with over four years of experience caring for my own two beloved cats, I understand the importance of personalized and attentive care for each pet. I know it’s a big deal to leave your family in the care of someone else. I will make sure things will go smoothly and you will get lots of updates!!! My experience extends to taking care of pets for friends, ensuring each furry friend feels comfortable, loved, and at ease. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my commitment to treating your pets as if they were my own. With me, your pets will receive the highest level of care and attention, making their time away from you as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Working remotely allows me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I have ample free time throughout the day to check in on pets, ensuring they receive regular attention, companionship, and care. This setup enables me to provide consistent and responsive pet sitting services, making sure your pets are always happy and well-looked after. I focus on providing personalized care that mimics their daily routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their schedule, ensuring they get enough exercise and playtime, and of course, offering lots of love and attention. I also make sure their environment is clean and safe, and I'm attentive and extremely professional to any specific instructions or special needs they may have. This approach helps pets feel comfortable and well-cared for in familiar surroundings while their owners are away.

“Breanna is great! She’s so friendly, flexible and reliable for booking walks for my golden retriever, Lola. Most importantly, Lola absolutely loves her :) We’re so happy to have met her!”


About: I first worked with a Husky and fell in love. Since then, I have become expert at doggy needs and wants. My true calling indeed! I can never find myself not gravitating towards dogs and connecting right away. I treat your dogs as if they’re my own! I never shy away from giving them exactly what they need and deserve and my happy and hopeful positive energy always serves as a reminder that your pets won’t be disappointed around me! When I care for dogs I make them my number one priority, with reflexes like no other and making sure they’re never in harms way. I am diligent and always apply that to my efforts when taking care of these amazing furry pals. Never do I fail to succeed or disappoint (both the pet, and the pet owner)! You can trust and believe that your pet will have the best of times with me. I love being outdoors or inside relaxing on the weekends, but I love being accompanied, especially by dogs and their bolting energies and different personalities. I know pet care will slide smoothly into my weekend routine and feel just right to spend the weekend doing something I love while contributing to helping someone else! For pet care I always try to get to understand a pets boundaries first so as not to become distrustful in any way. I always find it a good idea to try to learn about pets and their personality types first from owners and ease in to owning their trust, friendship and most importantly, safety. Some things I do consist of making sure their fed and have the adequate amount needed for their size and weight. On going out occasions I always make sure to keep them out of harms way and once again, recall their boundaries in case something happens outside out of my control. Safety and comfort is my number one priority first and this is applied to any service. On dog walks, I make sure to have everything they’ll need and come prepared for any mishaps that may occur along the way. My preparation and dedication to the comfort I wish to bring to my furry friends is all that has mattered to me always.

About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, I’ve had a dog since I was four. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, so I understand how important it is to treat each pup with love, patience, and attention. We’re available for dog walking after 7:30pm on weekdays. On weekends, we’re free anytime that works for you. Just let us know what your pup needs and we will be happy to help! Every dog in our care gets plenty of love, attention, and tail wagging fun. We will provide safe and happy walks every time. You can count on us to care for your dog just like you would!

About: My family has always had pets, and we've always had dogs. Many friends and family have asked me to walk, feed, and stay with their pets. I had a weekly dog watching job for two years while the owner had work obligations. I have a lot of free time for pet care! I am a teacher, so I am free after 3:00/3:30ish every day during the school year, as well as having off for any school holidays. I have a fenced yard and two sweet cats who get along well with other animals. There's also 4 people in my home so the pet would have many people to play with!

About: Hello! I’m Allyson, and I have taken care of dogs of every kind for several years. This includes home visits, playing with your dog, as well as bathing, and feeding. I have experience with both larger and smaller dogs. I am a teacher, I am up very early to check on your dog if need be, or in the afternoon through evening for some undivided attention for your pet. I am comfortable with pet parents using security systems/cameras to watch me lovingly care for their fur babies. Please tell me what will make your pet most comfortable during my time with them!

About: Veterinary student with experience in exotics, wildlife, GP, urgent care, animal behavior, and research. I’ve been in the veterinary industry for about 6 years know and I’m very excited to help with you with all your fur baby’s needs!! Weekends work best however, I may be available on weekdays depending on my school schedule. Please let me know what days work for you and I’d be happy to figure out a time to accommodate to your needs. This all depends on your pet and their special needs. I’m a vet student and do know how to administer some basic medications. Additionally I think it’s important to foster trust in pets especially when they meet someone for the first time.

“My husband and I were so nervous about leaving all of our feather and fur babies alone for the first time. Then Cathering came into our lives, and she was an absolute godsend!

Catherine updated us daily on how everyone was doing and looked after them as if they were her own, giving my husband and I peace of mind on our vacation. We couldn't have asked for anyone better and will request her again in the future!”

Bushra M.
“Bushra has been a friendly face around the neighborhood for as long as I’ve lived here. If I ever see her while on a walk with my dog, Empanada, there’s never a time when she hasn’t stopped to pet and coo at him. It was a bit of a no-brainer to ask her to look after him when I had started a brief stint working late and needed someone to feed and take him out while I was gone. She was consistently reliable and absolutely amazing with him. I can wholeheartedly say she is someone I’d put my utmost faith in.”


Elizabeth & Blaise M.
“Your pet could not be in better, safer, or more loving hands than with Elizabeth. You can trust her to give your pet the kind and caring attention she gives to her own little dog.

Elizabeth clearly loves animals, but more importantly, she is reliable and trustworthy - a consumate professional!”
