About: Hi, I’m a pet sitter based in New York City offering calm, attentive, and highly reliable in-home pet care. I provide a steady, low stress presence for pets who thrive on routine, familiarity, and gentle attention while their owners are away. My approach is quiet, consistent, and detail-oriented, focused on maintaining your pet’s normal rhythm so they feel secure in their own environment. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of varying temperaments, including pets who are shy, sensitive, or accustomed to more structured care. I take time to understand each pet’s behavior, preferences, and routine so care feels seamless and familiar. Clients can expect clear communication, timely updates, and thoughtfully documented check-ins with photos so you always feel connected and informed while traveling. I also take great care in respecting your home. Maintaining a clean, orderly space and ensuring everything is exactly as you left it. Whether you need overnight care, drop-ins, or extended stays, my goal is simple: your pet remains comfortable, your home remains respected, and you travel without concern. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! Warm regards, Nellie I offer flexible availability for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, as well as weekend care and select overnight stays. I’m also available for last minute bookings when possible and respond quickly to messages to keep scheduling simple and reliable. My goal is to provide steady, dependable care that fits your pet’s routine and your travel plans. I prioritize a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet I care for. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, and any medications, while paying close attention to their behavior and comfort level. Dogs are always securely leashed on walks, and cats are never forced into interaction, they’re cared for on their terms. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and mindful of security at all times. You’ll receive regular photo updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Eliza was absolutely fantastic!! She took care of our two cats while we were away. My one cat has to take medication morning and night so I was so nervous to leave him and she reassured me and sent me photos and videos of the boys. 10/10 will be using her again! Thank you Eliza!”

“Rebecca did excellent! She was very helpful and extremely communicative. I’d recommend her to anyone as she is a passionate dog lover and will do great for check-ins!”

About: I grew up in somewhat of a menagerie in south Florida where we had lots of property and animals like 5 Akitas, a ring tailed lemur, a kinkajou, 2 house cats and 2 big cats (lynx & bobcat). I am no stranger to rolling up my sleeves at home or for my clients. I've cared for pets internationally in Morocco and domestically in NYC. As a natural caregiver and as a clinical social worker I have the highest standards when it comes to those in my charge. I currently work remotely on a part time basis as a recruiter and a caregiver for my grandmother. We have a full house with support coming from many directions and I am looking for a way to make a little extra cash while spending time with animals. My grandmother and husband would prefer not to have a permanent pet, so this is a great compromise. As a clinical social worker I take my work with humans and pets very seriously. It's a mission and I took an oath as an MSW graduate to do my best for all in my charge. My home is in a quiet residential neighborhood in Jackson Heights near a dog park. My home is secure, comes with a backyard and is very clean. Nothing would please me more than to have a furry guest from time to time.
About: Hi there! I grew up in Istanbul which many of you would know, is a cat heaven! I love animals because they are honest, pure with their expression of love and appreciation. They live the day as if there is no tomorrow, which personally is something I can look up to. All my life I have been surrounded by multiple pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, snails... now I have two cats, whom I get sad whenever I am away from. I understand how important and emotional it is to find a good sitter when we cannot be around, someone to take care of them as if their own. In your absence I will be a mama, play date, caregiver, and a reliable friend to your little babies. I am a very patient person with compassion, have trained eyes for detail, and endless love for animals. I have been taking care of my partner's family dogs and mini horses whenever they go out of town for the past five years, alongside with my brother's four pawed clients in the last couple years. I'm an aspiring artist working from home, have plenty of time to share my love and care, on most days. I can board couple bonded cats, just as I foster sometimes for a limited time. I live in a two bedroom apartment with two cats, and able to keep the cats separated for the time of boarding. Just as how I introduced my cats slowly, very slowly, I am well aware that it is never a good idea to put them together all of a sudden. One of my cats never met a dog before, so I would not board any dogs at this time. I care for pets as my own, keeping them safe, clean, well-fed and watered, and well played. I believe we owe them at least that much keeping them in our homes.

“Eleni was WONDERFUL with my 2 cats!!! I will definitely be hiring her again!!! Mochi has diabetes and requires an insulin injection every 12 hours in addition to another medication twice a week and Eleni was happy to learn and able to give Mochi his meds which can be a bit daunting and sometimes difficult depending on his mood. but Eleni was attentive and really took the time to learn and care for him properly! my other cat Kumo is a scaredy baby and rarely shows his face around people but Eleni was patient and really put effort into getting him comfortable with her. Eleni updated me with great details about how they’re doing and food. the weather was changing every day from being very cold and then very hot and Eleni proactively adjusted the thermostat accordingly when needed! she would turn on cat TV every couple days AND put treats in their treat games daily so they would stay occupied during the day. Mochi had an accident and Eleni didn't hesitate to clean it up and take out the trash. she really took care of everything!”

About: Hi, I’m Christian! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog dad of 14+ years. I live in a dog-friendly, second-floor walk-up in Astoria, just steps away from a park where your pup can enjoy some fresh air and exercise. I work from home, so I can give your dog plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a senior who needs some extra TLC, I’m here to provide a safe, loving environment. Your pup will always get the love and care they deserve with me! My job allows me to set my own schedule as it relates to coming into the office, so I am very flexible on going in. Most of the time I am working remotely so I can give your dog the love and attention it needs. I am on the second floor of a walk-up building I which is dog friendly. I’m two blocks away from a park and would have no problems taking your pup out for as many walks as they need. I also have pads that I can put down as well. I’m happy to cater to whatever need your pup may have.
About: Hi! I'm Dory, I'm a lifelong animal lover who understands that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and confident while you're apart. I’ve cared for pets my entire life and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for cats ranging from 8-week-old kittens to 10-year-old adults, and I currently have three cats of my own. I have also cared for senior dogs and am comfortable administering medication when needed. What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and personalized approach to pet care. I treat every pet on a case-by-case basis and prioritize both the owner’s preferences and the safety, comfort, and happiness of each animal. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience and care, I’ll make sure they receive the attention they need. I know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I'll provide regular photo updates and a detailed report after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to treating your pets with the same love and care that I give my own! My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent and dependable care throughout the week. I enjoy being able to dedicate my time to each pet’s individual routine and needs, whether that means a midday walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while their owners are away. I’ll make sure every pet receives attentive, loving care while you’re away. If you have any questions or specific needs, please feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate. I provide care in your home where your pet feels most comfortable. I’ll follow their normal routine, keep them happy and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether it’s feeding schedules, favorite toys, walk preferences, or little habits that help your pet feel at ease. Every pet has their own personality, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes them happy. During each visit, I’ll send photo updates and a little report so you can feel connected and reassured that your furry friend is doing well. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years through volunteer work at Animal Care Centre in Manhattan and helping friends with their pets. Whether it’s walking dogs, feeding cats, or just spending time with them to keep them company, I truly enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe and loved. I’ve looked after pets of different sizes and personalities and understand how important it is to be patient and attentive to their needs. While I don’t have formal training or certifications, what sets me apart is the genuine care and reliability I bring to every pet sitting job. Friends often trust me to care for their pets when they travel because they know I treat them like my own. I’m dependable, respectful of routines, and always focused on making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for in their environment. I’m also insured as well. Ig: yeotasker Just got into a retail job so it will be morning walks 8am or before daily. Caring for pets also brings a sense of balance and joy to my week. It’s something I genuinely look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routines closely to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime, walks (if needed), and, of course, lots of attention and affection. I’m respectful of the home, keep things tidy, and stay in communication with the owner through updates and photos so they know their pet is in good hands. If a pet needs quiet time or has special preferences like favorite toys or sleeping spots. I would make sure to honor that. My goal is to make their time away from their owner feel as stress free as possible.
“Devon was a wonderful cat-sitter. She was timely for every check in and made sure to send me thorough updates about my cat’s eating habits and his mood. She also gave him plenty of exercise and sent me pictures after every visit. Walter (my cat) loved her! I will definitely be re-booking her services!”

“Christine has come by to feed and hang with our cats several times now. She is super reliable and communicative and our boys love her. We know they're in excellent hands whenever we go away.”

“Charlie has been amazing with my dog Oliver. He walks him during the day and is always reliable, attentive, and caring. I can tell Oliver genuinely enjoys his time with him, which gives me peace of mind while I’m busy. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Charlie makes it effortless. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and kind dog walker.”

“Heather is terrific! We were extra particular considering our dog, Bobby, was a recent rescue and not too trusting. Bobby fell in love with her immediately and actually wanted her attention. We're lucky to have found Heather and anticipate her becoming an important part of our household.”

“Janni is very responsive and communicative. She could follow the instruction on food preparation and helped me fix some problems. Very efficient and punctual every day. She is friendly to my cat, playing with him every day and sending me several pictures. Definitely recommend her service”
“Saifa helped us out when we needed a cat-sitter last minute during the holidays. She was very reliable and followed the feeding instructions that we gave her perfectly. She also communicated with us consistently. I would recommend booking with her!! Thank you so much Saifa!”

About: I've been working at a doggy daycare in San Francisco for over five years and I never get tired of working with puppies! I am capable of handling any sizes of dogs and I love it when they bond with me and follow me around. I am also experienced with dog sitting and it brings me joy to see the pups get snuggly at the end of the day. I’m working from home few days a week so I’m pretty flexible with the schedule. Evenings and weekends work for me too if you need a last minute reservation! My experience as a dog handler trained me to be aware of my surroundings and I am really good with communication so I won’t be hesitate to reach out to clients if I ever encounter any issues or have any questions regarding the pups.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jackson Heights
Emily has been Coco’s regular dog walker for quite some time, and we truly could not have asked for someone better. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and most importantly, genuinely cares about Coco. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that when we were at work, Coco was with someone we completely trusted. Emily was always dependable, kept us updated after their walks, and treated Coco like she was her own. Coco absolutely loves her, which says everything! We’re only parting ways because Emily received an amazing full-time opportunity, otherwise we would happily have kept her as Coco’s walker for years to come. Anyone who has the opportunity to have Emily care for their pet will be incredibly lucky. We’re going to miss her so much and can’t recommend her highly enough. ❤️🐾

Chase was awesome! He was so great with our dog and cat - they loved him. He stopped by our apartment a few times to feed, walk and play with them while we’re were away for a long day. Was always responsive and sent thorough check-ins, would highly recommend and book in the future!

Jessica watched our bulldog, Max, twice this summer and was amazing! She took such great care of him and always communicated with us. We looked forward to her pictures and felt such a relief knowing he was with Jessica. We look forward to booking again with her next time we go away.

Kiana was fantastic with my dogs! She was super flexible on short notice, set up a meet and greet right away, and asked all the right questions. One of my pups is a senior who requires several medications twice a day, and she handled his care seamlessly. She is trustworthy, kind, and took wonderful care of my dogs. Her communication was great throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!

Vanessa was a sweetheart! This was my first time using this and she made me feel very comfortable and easy about this decision. She even came to introduce herself to me and Otis prior to the visit so I really appreciated that. And Otis loves her! That’s my favorite part! I’ll definitely be booking again.

I had a great experience with the nail trim service. She was incredibly responsible, professional, and patient throughout the entire visit. She handled everything with care and made sure my dog was comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated her attention to detail and reliability. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled pet caregiver!
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She took such wonderful care of my dogs and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she treated them like their own, making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Communication was great throughout, and I really appreciated the detailed updates. I came home to two very happy pups, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!

Erin’s been so great checking in on Ronnie throughout the spring. She’s flexible with my work schedule and super communicative. I love seeing the pictures after each visit and I know Ronnie is in great hands while I’m gone. Overall, she made my move to the NYC so much less stressful knowing that Ronnie was getting so much love when Erin stopped by:)

Raul did an excellent job pet sitting for Gunner. He made sure to follow instructions my husband and I gave him, which gave us a peace of mind. When something wasn’t completely clear, he checked in with me, I really appreciated that level of communication and care. It’s safe to say he’s doing a great job getting to know both us and Gunner, and we feel comfortable trusting him with our dog. Highly recommend!

Marcela did a wonderful job walking Beau and following instructions as he's still a puppy and training to walk. There is another puppy she walks in the apartment, but although we offered that she could walk Beau together with that puppy, she stated that she preferred to give each dog individual attention, which we were surpised by and appreciated. She took a lot of photos and videos, and we'd gladly ask Marcela to walk Beau again!

Debbie has been wonderful with our 3-month-old puppy and 2-year-old dachshunds! I was a little nervous with our pup being so young but Debbie put me at ease. She’s warm, reliable, professional, and follows directions so well. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing the dogs are getting love, attention, and great care while we’re at work. We’re so happy we found her 😊 Thanks Debbie! 🩷

Amanda has been taking such great care of Mushroom over the past month, and we really appreciate her. She handles her drop in visits so well-making sure Mushroom eats, drinks water, goes potty, and gets plenty of playtime and attention. It gives me peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands while I’m at work. We’re so grateful to have Amanda helping and being part of Mushroom’s growth. Highly recommend! 🐾🎀
