About: I am an experienced and attentive pet sitter with an eye for detail. My #1 priority is the safety and well-being of your pet, and when your furry friend is in my care you can relax knowing that they are being loved and cared for just as if they were at home. My life is guided by the principles of the Bible and I base all my dealings on honesty. Your pet isn't my only client, you are too, and I am looking forward to building our professional relationship. Customer service is very important to me, and I pride myself on my communication skills. I’ve owned both dogs and cats, have experience with lots of breeds, and can administer medications. Truly, it is my pleasure to provide a safe and loving environment for your pet. No dog should ever have to be lonely and I love keeping them company. When your dog stays with me, they'll enjoy the loving attention of myself and my son. We're so excited to meet you and your four legged friend! I have a pretty flexible schedule. There may be last minute fees if the book is short notice or canceled. No doubt all contributing factors will be taken into consideration. I am no longer having pets stay at my home. When I visit your home specific instructions make things run smoothly. Thank you for your consideration.

“Rachel was great! Professional, punctual, great communication, and most importantly, great with Frappe. Even my neighbor commented that she was great from what he observed. She’s the first person I’m going to next time I did someone!”

Can adjust hours either morning, afternoon or evening for walks depending on regular schedules or weather. To ensure your pet stays comfortable and consistent, I prefer in-home sitting so their established routine remains uninterrupted. Maintaining the schedule you’ve thoughtfully created helps reduce stress and keeps everything feeling familiar while you’re away. I’m happy to continue any training, crating routines, medications, or enrichment activities so there’s no disruption to their progress.

I currently have a one-year-old tuxedo cat named Oreo, so I’m very familiar with daily pet routines, feeding schedules, and providing attentive, loving care. I’ve also helped care for parakeets and a dove that has been part of my family for over 20 years, so I understand the importance of gentle and consistent care—especially for birds.

About: I've been a petsitter since middle school. I've looked after cats and dogs both young and old, large and small. I'm very flexible and I take special care to keep each pet I care for comfortable and happy. I'm not currently employed, so I have plenty of time. I prefer late hours, but I can handle early risers too. I have a club event every second and fourth Tuesday; otherwise I'm fairly flexible with my activities. I will meet your pet wherever they are. If they need affection, I can give it; if they need space, I can give it. I put their well-being first, no matter what. If they make a mess, I will clean it up.

About: As a vet tech with two years of hands-on experience, I bring medical knowledge and confidence that many sitters don’t have: I’m comfortable giving medications, monitoring health, and handling special needs. Growing up with pets and currently sharing my home with two cats and two dogs has made me skilled at reading body language and adjusting care quickly. I especially love doing gentle positive training with puppies and young dogs, and I provide patient, loving senior care with extra comfort and mobility support. What truly sets me apart is treating every pet like my own, giving them full attention, patience, and genuine love so they stay safe, happy, and well cared for. Overnight House Sitting I can provide overnight care every night from 9 pm – 8 am. While I’m in your home I’ll be fully focused on your pets: playing, cuddling, and keeping them company so they never feel alone. As a vet tech, I’m comfortable with medications, special diets, or any extra medical attention your pet might need. Just let me know their routine and I’ll follow it closely. Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits I offer walks and in-home visits on this schedule: • Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays: 6:00 am – 11:00 am and 9:00 pm – 11:00 pm • Wednesdays & Saturdays: 4:00 pm – 11:00 pm • Sundays: All day I’m usually pretty flexible within those windows and happy to work around your needs with a bit of notice. I always give my full attention to your pets and keep them mentally and physically stimulated, just like I do with my own crew at home. Whether it’s a fun walk, a cozy play session, or peaceful overnight care, your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for. Pets have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with cats and dogs, and today I’m lucky to share my home with my own two cats and two dogs. For the past two years I’ve worked as a vet tech, giving me hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including those with special medical needs. I genuinely love what I do and treat every pet like my own.

About: Hello my name is Nancy I love all types of animals especially dogs. I've been infatuated with dogs ever since I was a little girl. I love to play fetch go for walks give belly rubs accept wet noses and wet kisses tend to have animals open up to me in a friendly matter. I use to have a red nose pit bull I rescued her. She was mistreated and I opened up my home to her she was the most loyal yet gentle dog I ever encountered. I love all pets big or small our fur babies are family as well so we care for them the same way we would treat another human all pets should be loves unconditionally no questions asked .

About: Having grown up in a household full of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and hedgehogs I possess a lifelong "animal intuition" and a deep comfort level with various species. What truly sets me apart is my hands on experience managing a multi-pet home with my own three cats, which has made me an expert in feline behavior and resource management. Whether it is providing the patient, attentive monitoring required for senior pets or the delicate handling needed for small exotic animals, I am highly adaptable to each pet's unique needs and personality. My schedule is very flexible during the latter half of the week. From Monday to Wednesday, I work as a therapist in Brooklyn. On Thursdays and Fridays, I only have two cases in Staten Island totaling about two hours, which leaves me with plenty of availability from Thursday through Sunday. Caring for animals is a deeply healing experience for me. While I am a huge dog lover, my own home is currently a cat-only household because we rescued three cats from a shelter, one of whom is extremely sensitive to dogs. To ensure her comfort, we decided not to own a dog ourselves, so pet sitting gives me a wonderful opportunity to fulfill my passion for working with dogs. My personal experience with a high-needs, sensitive rescue cat has made me exceptionally patient and skilled in handling pets with various temperaments and specific needs. My approach to pet care focuses on proactive health, hygiene, and emotional well-being. In my own home and when sitting for clients, I prioritize hydration by mixing water and specialized supplements like cranberry powder into wet food to support urinary health, and I ensure a clean environment by scooping litter and washing bowls daily. Most importantly, I understand that pets—especially cats—communicate through subtle, "high-frequency, low-impact" social cues; I provide gentle affection and verbal greetings without overstimulating them, ensuring they feel respected and safe. I treat every animal as a sentient companion, balancing structured routines with the quiet, intuitive interaction they need to thrive.

“Florina is amazing at her job. She watched my dogs for two days and was so kind to my three dogs. She kept me updated, cleaned up the dishes, and even gave my dog his insulin. I welcome her back into my home anytime.”

“Angelica is amazing! This is my first time with Rover and I will always book ahead and use her. I have a rescue dog Micky that is not friendly to most people and needs to be cared for from our home From the first Micky really liked her and was well taken care of. Angelica took severe photos per day and texted my husband and I about how Micky was doing. We look forward to future travel knowing our dogs are in good hands!”
