“Rachel is a wonderful dogwalker! I have a shy rescue chihuahua mix named Benny. Despite typically being slow to open up to new people, he is clearly obsessed with Rachel and has gained a lot of confidence since walking with her and the other dogs. I would recommend Rachel to anyone and hope to continue to have her work with Benny in the future. Thanks Rachel!!”

About: I’ve worked at the Brooklyn zoo and aquarium in Brooklyn as a teen. Then worked my way to volunteering at my local animal shelter. I’ve always had a love for animals. Now I foster dogs and cats till they find their forever homes. Even family and friends ask me to watch their pets on occasion. I’ve done dog walking and boarding for many years now as well and I would love to continue to provide for animals rain or shine. I currently work from home so the most I leave for are some social events here and there or groceries. I have transportation if pick up and drop off is needs as well. I have a gated yard around my apartment. There grass and all the other animals in the building run around and use the property. I provide at least three walks/potty breaks a day, take time to train and reward. I’ve giving medication and baths on request as well.

About: I have lived on a farm up until college. I am aware that taking care of animals is not easy. I understand that people there is a lot of care and patience that goes into their care. I have taken care of friend's and family's pets and have always loved getting to meet other dogs. Whether that is on Ohio State's oval and I get to meet a service animal or seeing my best friend's dog, meeting a furry friend always brings a smile to my face! I recently moved to NYC to pursue my acting and modeling dreams. With that being said, I am trying to earn as much as I can to support myself in the city, especially since I also graduated from Ohio State this past year. I will follow all directions given by the pet owners. I typically make sure that the pet itself is happy with the care I give, and if there is a way to improve that, I will find it! I am respectful of the owner's boundaries and will make sure to ask if any questions/ problems pop up. I am huge on communicating and will make sure that any issues are reported to the owner. Additionally, I will take extra measures to ensure that doors are locked and any entrance/exit I use it locked before I leave the house! I have a lot of flexibility at the moment so I’m trying to work as much as possible. I typically have auditions and shows at night but again, I have flexibility. I’m willing to work with you! I ensure that they have clean water and food at all times. I also love spending time playing and making sure they receive the affection they need via lots of pets! I also make sure that the space is clean and maintained. I will pick up after your animals and clean a little bit too :-)

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with several years of experience both pet sitting and working in an animal hospital as a veterinary assistant. Through my work, I’ve gained hands-on experience handling dogs and cats of all temperaments, supporting their care, and becoming familiar with recognizing when something may be off. At the same time, my approach to pet sitting is always centered around making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their home environment. I’m also a pet owner to my 11-year-old girl, so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine. I currently work as a veterinary assistant, so I am already around animals regularly and used to maintaining consistent care schedules. Outside of work, I plan my availability around pet sitting bookings to ensure I can give each pet the time and attention they need. This includes morning and evening visits, walks, feeding schedules, and check-ins depending on the pet’s routine. Because I’m also a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already built into my daily life. I’m used to early mornings, structured feeding times, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I’m very intentional about only accepting bookings I can fully commit to, so each pet receives reliable, attentive care. When I arrive, I follow all instructions exactly as provided to maintain your pet’s normal routine and comfort. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and that litter boxes or walking needs are taken care of promptly. During each visit, I also spend time engaging with your pet based on their personality—whether that’s playtime, companionship, or giving them space if they are more independent. I keep your home clean, organized, and secure while I’m there, and I always double-check doors, gates, and any safety instructions before leaving. I also provide updates so you can feel confident knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: My name is Deshaun, a former tv meteorologist, and I love dogs. I am experienced with taking care of dogs through family and friends. Giving animals as much love as possible is my motto. Show them as much love and attention as possible and always be on alert with pets. Never leave peers on their own. Make sure that they are well fed. I’m currently in between jobs, so I have all the time in the world. I will dedicate a lot of time into taking care of my clients I treat my client’s home with top care. I will never bring strangers into their homes, keep everything clean and tidy and avoid rooms that are banned.

“Leah did a great job with our two cats while my husband and I were away for the holidays. We were worried about finding a sitter and were happy to connect with her. She was attentive, easy to communicate with, and accommodating to our schedule changes. Best of all she was able to bond with both cats, one of which tends to be on the shyer side. Will definitely use Leah again in the future.”

About: Every pet has their own personality. I love learning about them and how they represent innocence. They give us a chance to appreciate the outdoors. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I take my dogs on walks daily and even give my cats outside time. They honestly feel like my siblings. I enjoy taking them on walks. Also just giving them attention and play time. Sometimes all they need is a belly rub and boop on the nose

About: I have a 9yo German Shepherd who has taught me how to handle any sort of dog reactivity level and situation that can come up. I'm confident I can take care of and meet your dog's needs. I work part time and am available weekday afternoons to walk your pup while you may be stuck at work. I walk my dog around then and would be happy to walk yours alongside mine or separately. I care for others' pets as if they were my own. With your pet, I'll be sure to follow any instructions you may provide and get permission for any other things like treats, enrichment tools, meeting other dogs, etc.

About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience Hi there! I’ve been caring for pets for years — from energetic puppies and kittens to calm senior dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I make sure each one feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. I have experience with: Daily walks, feeding, and playtime routines Administering oral medications and following special diets Crate training and basic obedience support Caring for multiple pets at once Keeping owners updated with photos, messages, and daily summaries Whether your pet loves long walks, cozy naps, or extra cuddle time, I adapt my care to fit their needs. I treat every animal like family — with patience, attention, and genuine love. Your peace of mind is my priority, and your pet’s comfort is my passion. 🐶🐱💛 I have a free open schedule Monday through Sunday 24/7 if you would like to request an update on availability please feel free to ask . When pets stay with me, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved just like they would at home. I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room for play, rest, and relaxation. I always start by learning each pet’s normal routine — feeding times, walk schedule, favorite toys, and any special instructions. I follow that closely so they stay on track and feel secure. I provide: Fresh water and food at regular times Safe indoor space with cozy resting spots Walks, bathroom breaks, and playtime throughout the day Lots of affection, attention, and gentle supervision Regular photo updates and check-ins for peace of mind If your pet has specific needs or habits, I’m very flexible and happy to accommodate them. My goal is to make your pet’s stay stress-free and full of love while you’re away. 🐾

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.

Briana was so great!! I had a last minute family emergency come up and needed a sitter desperately for my cat and not only did she agree to take care of my cat last minute but she came to my place the same day I reached out to her before I had to leave for my flight to do a meet and greet. My cat instantly liked her energy and let her pet him/greet him. She responded quickly from the beginning all the way to the end of the visit and was also a great communicator. She went above and beyond for my cat by cleaning/refilling his bowls every day, cleaning his litter box, giving him pets/affection and sending me photos as well for my own reassurance! This was my first time leaving my cat with a stranger and I couldn’t be happier with how she handled everything! I would highly recommend her for anyone’s little fur baby!

April is the best to ever do it! She’s a consummate professional—every check-in came with photos, videos, and detailed notes.

Emily took such wonderful care of my cats, Tigerlily and Dante, and we are all very grateful for her. This was our first time leaving our cats behind. We were nervous but Emily made the whole experience completely stress-free with her kindness, consistent updates, and genuine love for animals. Tigerlily is usually pretty shy, and Dante loves attention, but somehow Emily made both of them feel so comfortable and cared for. She sent sweet photos and messages that really reassured me they were happy, and getting lots of love while we were away. When we came home, both cats were relaxed and had clearly enjoyed their time with her. It’s obvious that Emily genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and that kind of trust and warmth means everything. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful cat sitter. Five stars without hesitation!
