We have an older anxious cat and a new puppy so Rachelle had her hands full but handled it beautifully! Rachelle is extremely communicative and responsive. I felt super comfortable with Rachelle staying with our animals while we were away- so much so that we have booked her for another weekend coming up. She asks a lot of questions and really cares about keeping our babies as comfortable as possible while we are not there. We had Rachelle stay in our home and she was very respectful of our place- may have been cleaner when we got home than when we left! Thanks Rachelle!!

Kier took care of my dog Kiwi in my apartment over an extended time and I was confident the entire time that Kiwi was in good and extremely loving hands. Kier always sent lengthy updates and I can tell went the extra mile to make sure Kiwi was happy and taken care of. I won’t hesitate to book with him again.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and have had two cats of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every pet like they’re my own not just making sure they’re fed, but making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I naturally pay attention to the little things changes in behavior, mood, or appetite because I know those details matter. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or more shy and independent, I adjust to their personality and let them warm up at their own pace. I’m very consistent with routines because I know that’s what helps pets feel secure. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. You’ll always get regular updates and photos, so you don’t have to wonder how your pet is doing. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands. I have a very open and flexible schedule. I can easily work around your pet’s routine, whether that means early mornings, evenings, or multiple check-ins throughout the day. Since I’m not juggling a busy schedule right now, I’m able to spend more quality time with your pet instead of rushing in and out. If your pet wants playtime, company, or just someone to sit nearby while they do their own thing, I’m there for it. I’m very mindful of creating a calm and safe environment, especially since pets can be sensitive to changes. I make sure doors and windows are secure, feeding areas are clean, and everything stays consistent with what your pet is used to. I pay attention to behavior and give pets space when they need it, but I’m also happy to sit with them, play, or just exist in the same space if that’s what they prefer. Sometimes the best way to bond with a pet is to not try too hard. I treat your home with respect and follow your instructions closely so everything stays exactly how you like it.

About: I am an animal lover living in Ridgewood. I grew up with cats my entire life. I also raised a basset hound named Sandor. I am kind and compassionate, willing to do overnights, drop-ins, and walks with your pets. Establishing trust with an animal and allowing them to adjust to your presence is one of the most important parts of the process. I have been caring for neighbors pets for years and walked dogs professionally in Manhattan. I’m available for walks and drop-ins during the weekdays also overnights if you’re going out of town for a week or more. I love pets. I will be able to drop in to give your fur baby some love when you’re at work or will stay overnight when you travel.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and treat every one I sit for like it’s my own. I live near Prospect Park and love being the “fun dog aunt” who gets your pup out and about. I currently freelance and get out for walk myself several times a day. I love Prospect Park and am also close to several fenced in dog parks, so I easily work these into my routine. I take time to learn your dog’s habits and mannerisms, and err on the side of more communicative rather than less. I understand this is a beloved member of your family, and strive to treat them with utmost care and attention.

Meaghan was wonderful with our little puppy. You could tell that she loves animals and that she knew how to handle a first time meeting without causing the dog unnecessary anxiety. That allowed us to leave feeling secure that Maisie was in good hands!

Arianna’s star sitter profile not only reflects the high quality of care she provides, but also the thoughtful way she meets fur babies where they are. Logan is the definition of a pandemic dog: attached, anxious, and still full of energy despite being five years old. Arianna took the time to learn Logan’s personality and quickly figured out how to help him release that energy. She took him on long walks, helped him socialize with other dogs, and even brought him along on food outings. It was amazing to see Logan living his best life. Most importantly, having a stellar sitter makes all the difference when it comes to caring for your fur baby.

I had a wonderful experience with Hasan and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. He took amazing care of my cats and paid close attention to all of their individual needs and personalities. He kept me updated about any special situations and gave thoughtful feedback about how they were doing, which made me feel very comfortable while I was away. At my request, he also sent me photos so I could keep up with their daily routines, and that meant a lot to me. It was incredibly reassuring to see them happy, relaxed, and well cared for. You can tell Hasan genuinely cares about animals, and my cats were clearly in good hands. I’m extremely happy with the service and honestly can’t wait to work with him again for my next trip. Highly recommended!

Kristen took great care of our 18 month old labradoodle for 10 days. On our initial meeting, my wife and I loved his easy-going but responsible attitude and our girl took to him right away without any hesitation. A big bonus was Kristen's proximity to Prospect Park. We received lots of photos during her stay and Kristen was super fast replying to any questions we had. Kristen is definitely going to be our go-to sitter on our nights out and when we're out of town.

Regina was such a thoughtful, caring, and attentive sitter for our two cats. She sent pictures and video clips every day, and let us video call them when she could sense they missed us. She was considerate and kind, and I loved that she created a genuine connection with our babies, so much so that she will miss them. I highly recommend working with Regina. Thank you for making our week-long vacation worry-free!
