“Kennedy did an outstanding job looking after my baby Odette. My cat loved her and came out of her shell around Kennedy. I hope to rebook her for cat sitting in the future, and she was above and beyond at communication.”

About: Growing up, I had the joy of loving and caring for an 80-pound, goofy, American Pitt Bull Terrier, named Meryn. Throughout my high school years, he was my constant companion, playing catch at the East River Park on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. We would jog across the Williamsburg Bridge and run up and down the stairwell in my apartment building to burn off energy (we lived on the 11th floor). He was an incredibly curious boy, who made training fun. He was very motivated by treats and praise. Through repetition and treats he learned all the basic commands. I have petsat many times for family members over the years. Pets included are dogs (large and small breeds) cats, hamsters, and a bearded dragon once. My longest dogsitting experience lasted 3 weeks with my aunt’s pug, Coco Rico, while my aunt was on vacation. During this time, Rico had an ear infection and I had to administer his ear drops. Being a pug, I had to ensure his eyes and face folds were clean. I have catsit for my brother’s diabetic cat, Tuna Fish, on several occasions. I administered insulin injections daily. I learned how to measure the proper dosage and how to safely/comfortably give her the injections. She was diagnosed with diabetes in 2020, so it was not easy learning how to give a cat a shot via a Zoom call with the vet! But learning this and helping my brother with the insulin injections, kept Tuna going for 4 more years after diagnosis. This is by far the most medical care experience I have had with pets. Nowadays, I regularly borrow my Gen Z daughter’s dog, Espresso. He’s a Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix, and my favorite little guy. My grandpup, if you will. With this past winter being a very cold one in NYC, I ensured to dress Espresso in his sweater, coat, and boots for his walks. I do photo shoots with him while on walks, during play time, and naps. I update her with anecdotes throughout the day, such as mentioning any puppy pals we ran into while out and anything funny or adorable he’s done. She even recently said to me, “You take the most wonderful pictures of him.” That truly warmed my heart because I love capturing him in different places and poses. My pet baby now is an American short hair cat with calico patterned fur, named Basil (aka Ms. Lady Boop Boop). She’s a 16 year old, still feisty gal, who has a favorite fishy toy that dangles from a wand. Being a senior, she has developed arthritis in her old age and now makes use of cushioned stairs to get on the couch/bed. She also needs an eye ointment, the application of which has become part of our daily routine. In the past, when she has been ill, I've also given her medicine in liquid form via syringe as well as getting her to swallow a pill. Additionally, I took care of a feral cat that would visit me now and then. My family has a home in Albany, in upstate New York, and I'm happy to board dogs up there for weekends or extended stays should a pet parent allow it. The feral cat that would visit me was in Albany and would appear randomly in our backyard. I fed and watered him whenever he came by. He was deaf and the sweetest guy, who loved rubs and to hang out on our deck. He had an extra digit on each front paw, so I dubbed him Thumbs. One day, when he visited, I noticed immediately that he had fleas on him. I gave him a bath a kiddy tub in my backyard with flea shampoo. I bought the flea comb and collar and got rid of those pesky bugs. I know he was grateful because he'd been scratching so hard, his fur was missing in some places. I am a visual artist and writer, working from home, so my weekdays are flexible. I set my own schedule working on my projects so I can easily accommodate different pet types and time slots for care. I occasionally travel to my family home in Albany, upstate New York, but I always plan that ahead of time and I am happy to board pets up there if the pet parent is open to that option. I live in a 2-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn, NYC. I am located on the 3rd (and top) floor of a walk-up building. I have a senior, female cat, who is very relaxed and sleeps most of the day. There is no outdoor space here, but there are local parks nearby, including a dog run. I also have a house upstate, in Albany, NY. There is plenty of space for running around here, including a backyard. We are currently having a fence put in and I will update this when it is installed.

About: I’ve had my dog, Teddy, for 4 years now, and that’s about all the experience I have. Although, I’ve done a lot of research along the way to ensure that he has the absolute best care and that is exactly what I would bring and provide to any other fur baby that I get the chance to take care of! I work fully from home and have a pretty workable schedule, so I am excited to use my downtime to care for your lovable fur baby! My schedule changes a lot so I don’t have specific hours but can specify upon requests! I’ve done all of Teddy’s training on my own through research and teamwork with him, which is something I am so proud of. That being said, I am very meticulous in how I care for, and work with him, which is how I would care for your pup as well! I like to make sure he has company and knows he is safe. And when he’s in the mood, we play with his favorite toys and might even do some intellectually stimulating training!

“Munder was a great sitter for my two kitties! He met with me before the I left so I could give him the low down which helped relieve my anxiety. He kept me regularly updated and sent a ton of adorable pictures from his visits. I will definitely use him again in the future!”

About: Hi there! My name is Anya and I am a college student in NYC. All my life I have been surrounded by dogs and cats. Feeding and walking animals have been a part of my daily routine since I can remember. In my hometown, I frequently house sat and dealt with old, young and sick pets with care and feel comfortable doing so. Since moving to the city, I miss my dogs terribly, so I know this will be enjoyable work for me! I am an extremely Covid conscious person, triple vaccinated and continue to take precautions.I am available to house sit, do check-in’s and dog walks. My schedule differs each weekday, so I would be happy to discuss and figure out a time that works. Please message me if you have any interest or questions. Take care! I work around my school schedule, which differs every day. I am available weekdays after my classes which end at 3 PM Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 4 PM Mondays and 7PM Thursdays. I am quite flexible so feel free to message me with any questions. I am a very trustworthy and respectful person. I am very attentive to each client's rules within their own home. I know that every animal is unique and will follow care-taking instructions diligently as if they were my own pet.

About: I got my baby Bambi in 2020 when she was just 9months. I was caring for my grandma cat and my sister dog already and wanted my own. It was the best decision I ever made, I learned responsibility and how to train dogs. I have been loving Bambi since. I am a full time dog mum. I am in online school so I have plenty of free time that I spend with Bambi. We go to the park and little day trips. My dad also lives with me, he is retired, loves animals and will help me out. I love Bambi and treat her as my own baby. She is allowed on all furniture so is your pet. We play fetch in the house/hallway when weather is bad or cuddle up. When I have other pets visiting I like to first let them explore the space. Then I like to take them on a walk around the neighborhood alone so they can get a sense of the environment. I like to get plenty new toys and treats so they are comfortable.

About: I’ve had a dog that my friend owns and he’s asked me to watch him a couple of times so fixture I could do the same for other peoples pets. I’m currently searching for part-time work so I’ll be easily available to care for any dogs or cats for no matter how long. I’m willing to learn any intricacies and any specialized care your pet needs to ensure it lives a long healthy life under my care.

“Siaira was an excellent cat sitter for our two cats! She kept me well-informed with regular updates, letting me know how everything was going and what tasks had been completed. Her communication was clear and reassuring, and I really appreciated the attention to detail. Even our shy cat, who usually keeps her distance, warmed up enough to come over for some pets — a true sign of Siaira’s gentle and trustworthy presence. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of my 6 year old Tibetan Spaniel Chi Chi since she was just 6 months old. I am from Havana, Cuba, where there are dogs and cats everywhere! I am used to them existing alongside us humans – they are living beings just like us with needs, personalities, and energy. I will be sure to wear your furry friend out 🐾 I am in school learning English, I do CrossFit, and I am a musician- it’s a flexible schedule. Just let me know what you need and we can make it work. I have a strong voice and can easily communicate with any pet depending on their needs. Animals have personalities just like us, so it's important to recognize that it's a two way street when communicating with them.

“Juan is a excellent cat sitter. He was very friendly with my babies and took time to send pictures of my babies each day when i was out of country. Will definitely rebook him.”
