Dog Sitting Jackson Heights

About: I've always had a great and deep connection with all animals/pets, I've kept pets most of my life and cared for friend's pets when I didn't have my own. I am a certified Reiki 2 practitioner, and I have experience giving IV and medication to pets that need it. I not only care immensely for an animal's well being, but I always consider how the pet feels about any circumstance or situation. Especially for pets that have been rescued from neglecting or abusive environments, I believe it's crucial to keep in mind how they feel about everything, and what is best for them. I live in a fairly medium sized apartment with enough room for medium sized dogs to run around, but I also live only a short 10 minute walk from Astoria Park, where I'm willing to bring your dogs as much as they need. There is someone in my apartment who smokes, but absolutely never inside and I will be extra careful and clear about this whenever there is a dog in the apartment.

About: I rescued my fur baby in February 2021 and have loved every second of taking care of her. I work from home MWF, so I have a flexible schedule, and I’m more than happy to love up on your fur baby as well! I can ensure that your four-legged family member will be in good hands during our time together. I know life gets busy, so let me take one thing off your plate by walking and caring for him/her :) I'm quick to learn, attentive to any special requests you may have, and overall grateful for entrusting me with walking and caring for your furry family member. Working from home gives me a flexible schedule. Aside from caring for my pup, I usually have enough space to add in additional walks for other dogs each week! I’m more than happy to crate your dog before/after walks or provide them with any care you specify. I treat your home and your dog with love and respect.

“Angel is great and caring! We can’t recommend him enough, he is the best! Our dog loves him, he is very professional and thoughtful.”

About: I have had a dog in my life since the day I was born and they are my absolute favorite pets. I love playing with them and giving them all the belly rubs they could possibly want. I have a shepherd mix named Trout, who I adopted, and he is the friendliest most playful dog ever. If you would like to board your pup with us he would be sure to be the best buddy. I have experience handling both small and large dogs, elderly dogs, and dogs that require medicine. I ask that clients inform me of any routines the dog may need to follow so that I can give them the best care possible without disrupting the status quo. Let me help you to give your dog all the attention they deserve!! I work at an aerial studio and bartend a few evenings a week. I am never gone for more than 6hrs at a time (and that is usually in the evening), and I am never more than 30min away from home. I can provide walks and/or yard playtime every 4-6hrs. I have one large dog crate if your dog needs to be crated when I leave the house. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your pup to run and play. I live on the 2nd floor so that can be harder for elderly dogs or dogs with stair issues.

About: Have been obsessed with dogs all of my life. I have experience with puppies, seniors, & special need dogs. Worked in Pet Industry for almost 20 years and have been the go-to person for pet sitting, walking , advice giving and belly rubs to all who know me! CAN NOT pass a dog on the street without saying hello. Currently working minimal hours with flexibility from home so I can care for your doggie. Love to have any and all dogs around me whenever possible. I will be available for walks, playtime, hang time and cuddles all hours of the day. I have a 4 year old pom who loves company as well. Especially good with doggy playtime with dogs her size. Also good with larger dogs and also has a senior dog neighbor who she knows to basically ignore. Have wee-wee pads if they need to go in the house, have fenced in front yard and fenced in back yard for potty breaks or quick zoomies / playtime.

About: I’m new to Rover but have years of experience taking care of pets. I included past reviews as photos. I’m attentive to special requests and am happy to provide clients with updates on their pet(s) and answer any questions or concerns. I do in-home pet sitting, including extended sitting. I record anything health related, such as coughing, bloody stools, or cuts as well as any behavior changes or problems. Animal care includes: dog walks, meals, treats, refilled water bowls, play and cuddle time, wiped paws, recorded date, time and description of services provided after each visit. My work is remote and pretty flexible. I especially enjoy all the afternoon walks I can get to take a break in between work meetings. I am happy to take your lead on how to best care for your pet to minimize stress and disruptions to your pet’s everyday routine.

About: I’m a responsible babysitter and dog sitter. I’ve taken care of young pups and senior dogs. I understand dog body language well enough to assess situations when needed. I love a challenge and that means multiple dogs, larger dogs, and I could dog sit for hours. I follow instructions and I’m open to extra services before sun down. Although I’m new, you should not underestimate my experience. You can rely on me to be your dog’s new companion, I’m very flexible and adaptable. I love taking photos so you would not regret a photoshoot! I encourage pet owners to ask about any concerns or requests. I work part time helping animals! Feel free to ask me about that, but my scheduling is always changing so don’t be afraid to reach out to see if we can work around it! I don’t have a yard but the apartment is open except the main bedroom. There’s also a dog park nearby so we can have some safe outside play time!

About: Growing up, my home was a revolving door for all types of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, bunnies, everything!). I've handled animals both young and old so I'm fairly confident with any aged pets. I am eager to love and care for your furry family members while also reinforcing boundaries and discipline as needed and desired by you! I'm also an approved dog foster by a local agency so I'm up to date with safe animal handling. I’m in grad school so I’m almost always home working away at my desk. Most days I can do morning visits/walks and some in afternoon as well! I can crate your dogs when they are left alone (if desired) and have a pet camera for added security. I will never leave your pet for an unreasonable amount of time nor for any time longer than what you've communicated.

About: I love hanging out with animals! In 2022, I fostered a pittie mix when I was living on my own from ACCT Philly. He was completely untrained and a senior dog. I trained him and took great care of him so that he could get adopted in a couple months. In 2024, I was a short-term foster for a dachsund-beagle mix named Charli! I’ve dealt with behavioral issues and worked on them with my 2 fosters, including separation anxiety / anxiety in general and dog reactivity. I also was the primary caretaker for 2 cats and a dog at home starting age 10. In high school, I started taking care of my neighbors’ pet cats and dogs, whether it was taking their dogs on walks, feeding and hanging out with cats, or staying overnight at people’s homes to watch their pets. I would love to meet your pet! I’m free on weekday early mornings (before 7am) and evenings (5:30pm or later) for walks or feeding, and I’m available weekends. My apartment does not allow pets but I am happy to stay at your place to watch your pet too! I make sure to ask every client what rules their pet follows or habits their pet has before starting. For example, some dogs may need to be walked at very specific times to prevent accidents, pets might need to take meds, or dogs may have certain behavioral rules they should continue to follow while I’m there. I also will observe the pet’s personality (and ask questions as well!) to make sure they feel comfortable around me. I love to give attention but some pets are slower to warm to new people than others so I make sure to be sensitive to that!

“Maria took great care of my senior cat. She not only followed the feeding and misc instructions but asked me questions no other sitter had previously asked. Little details. I returned to a happy and purring cat. Maria is a very conscientious sitter and I highly recommend her.”

About: For 5 years I house-sat 2 dogs (1 medium Pit mix and 1 small but chunky chihuahua mix) and 2 cats (all in one home) often for a few days at a time. I've had a family dog my entire life (a Maltese and later a Blue Pitbull) as well as 1 of my own while living alone (a Pit-Greyhound mix). I am interested in fostering sick or alternatively-abled dogs although I have not yet had the opportunity. I love dogs and cats of all sizes and have been pet sitting for 10 years. I’m comfortable dedicating time to pets. Right now I have the free time to engage with this type of work and it’s what I love to do. I am mostly comfortable pet sitting in the homes of others. I love to engage with and hang out with the pets I care for.

“Ronak and Sagar were great! Rain or snow they swung by multiple times daily to take care of our pets. Really appreciate them going above and beyond to make sure my wife and I felt comfortable with leaving the pets home for the Christmas break. Thank you both! ??”

About: I’m experienced with newborn puppies, pitbulls and many other dogs. Friends and family have always trusted me with their furry friends and giving them baths, walking them and even watching them here and there. My availability is very flexible so I will definitely have plenty of time to play with your furry friend and provide the best experience ever! I’ve never had any difficulty bonding with a dog and becoming their best friend. All my life i’ve always loved dogs and anytime there was a dog around, whether it be at a family/friends house, I would always play with their furry friend and give their dog all the attention and love they deserve :) I assure that your furry friend will be safe and have a blast with my company!

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters and more! I've taken care of furry (and not so furry) friends for human friends, family and Professors and Deans of my former college! I am an actor so I have a pretty open schedule during the day, which means great things for you! I have plenty of time to play with, walk, feed and do light training with your pets (if you wish) while you're away at work, on vacation, visiting your in-laws and more! I do perform in a show called Batsu! about 4 nights (between Tues-Sat usually with one night off) a week so I have to be at the show at night, but other than that, I'm all in for walks, feedings, play time and snuggles! I am extremely trustworthy and will not allow anyone into your home without your consent. I prefer it that way as it maintains trust and also gives your pet more stability which is great for them. They're like children in so many ways and are just as important to so many humans!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with Shih Tzus as family pets. However, I love dogs of all sizes and have experience dog sitting the following breeds- Newfoundland, German Shepherd (senior dog), Doberman (senior dog), Greyhound, and a very energetic chocolate Lab. I work full-time in a school, so my availability includes: late afternoon/nights Monday through Friday, and full availability on weekends. My apologies for my lack of weekday daytime hours I currently live in my own apartment with no roommates and no pets. I am open to bringing your dog to my home. In your home, I will abide by your rules and take your dog outside for walks as necessary.

About: I’ve always had a deep connection with dogs, growing up with a family dog I cared for and now owning my own. Whether your dog needs extra attention or faces specific challenges, I get it. From walks to playtime, I’m here to help and offer the support they need. Training takes time and practice, but with patience and dedication, it only gets better. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I’m a dog owner myself. I make time for daily walks, playtime, and training sessions with my dog. As a freelance photographer, I have a flexible schedule, so I can adapt to your pet’s needs. I’ll be sure to keep you updated with pictures of your furbaby throughout the day, so you can stay connected and worry-free. For drop-in visits, I ensure that your pet feels safe and comfortable by sticking to their routine and environment. I keep their space tidy and secure, making sure any hazards are removed. During dog walks, I focus on providing a calm and enjoyable experience, keeping your dog safe on a leash and offering them mental and physical stimulation. Whether in your home or out on walks, I prioritize your pet’s well-being and will keep you updated with photos so you can stay connected and reassured.

About: I’ve had cats since I was 10. I adopted my current cat Snap Pea over 3 years ago, a 5 year old dilute calico FIV+. I’ve frequently volunteered at the cat shelter/adoption center, and I’ve taken care of many friends’ cats and dogs while they were away. I’d love to care for your fur baby too! I work full time during the week, so I can do drop by visits or walks for cats/small dogs before 9am and after 5pm. I’m based in the Astoria, Queens neighborhood. I scoop the litter box 1x per day. I play and cuddle with my cat. I also always take plenty of photos for whoever I cat sit for so their owners know they’re having a fun time! I can also walk small to medium sized dogs.

About: Experienced and dedicated dog walker and sitter (and currently studying to be a professional dog trainer), I specialize in caring for all breeds but have a special passion for working breeds and mixes. With a deep understanding of their needs, energy levels, and unique personalities, I ensure they get the physical activity and mental stimulation they thrive on. Whether it's an adventurous hike, a game of fetch, or personalized care while you're away, I’m committed to keeping tails wagging and paws happy. My last dog passed 18months ago, and don't currently have any pets. In the past, I've had a Malinois-mix, Labrador, Aussie Cattle Dog, and 3 Pembrokeshire Corgis, and have good experience with senior/ special needs dogs. One of my corgis had degenerative myelopathy (doggy ALS) and lived with this spinal disease for 2 years, needing a doggy wheelchair for the last 2 years of her life. Another Corgi had deformed growth plates on her front paws, which needed additional patience and care. I'm patient and gentle with dogs, as well as being highly aware of my energy around them. When your dog is in my care, they will get quality interactions throughout the day. Dog walking and sitting fit seamlessly into my schedule Monday through Friday, making it easy to provide consistent care for your pets during the week. On weekends, I’m happy to accommodate bookings with enough notice, ensuring flexibility for your plans. Whether it’s daily walks or longer sitting sessions, I’m here to keep your dogs happy and cared for whenever you need. Although I don’t have a garden, I make sure dogs in my care are happy, stimulated, and well-exercised. With a playground and dog run (Skillman/ 43rd) just outside, I have quick access to a safe space for playtime and walks. When walking dogs, I like to spot and deal with (avoid) problems long before they're in front of me. I also focus on providing plenty of mental stimulation through interactive toys, games, and training activities to keep their minds active. Inside my home, I create a cozy and comfortable environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease after their outdoor adventures. I also have a lot of medical experience with dogs (both sickness and disability), should your dog need additional (or around the clock) care. My vet will confirm, if you need a reference for peace of mind. I am very safety-conscious and never leave dogs unattended or do off-leash walks. Dog runs are only used with owner's prior approval.

“Sin Ying is wonderful with cats! My cat is very shy and cautious around strangers, but he warmed up to her surprisingly well and was comfortable interacting with her. She was also great at administering his medication and inhaler, Really appreciated how patient and gentle she was with him. Absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!”
