“Fiona was absolutely wonderful with Callie! She was punctual, kind, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Callie came back from her walk happy and tired out, and I appreciated the updates and care Fiona provided”


“TJ is great: Super attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares about my kitties. There’s nothing like knowing someone reliable and sincere is nearby to help care for my pets while I’m away.”


“Christopher is the most reliable, communicative, and trustworthy pet sitter we could ask for. Fritos takes a while to warm up to people but we can actually think that since meeting and falling in love with Christopher, he is more trusting towards other humans too. He’s made a noticeably positive impact on Fritos’ life and I’m completely at ease at work knowing it’s a Christopher walk day.”


“Austin was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable about dogs. He met our frenchies and was able to get them to play with them shortly after meeting them. We are looking forward to work with him further.”


About: Hello! My name is Laynie. I have been a pet lover for my whole life and grew up with three pit bulls that my family raised from puppies to adults. I spent my summers dog sitting my neighbor’s four small dogs while they went out of town. Since moving to New York, my friends and clients have relied on me to care for their dogs and cats. This includes visiting their homes frequently to care for their pets. Everything from taking them on walks, feeding them, making sure they’re in good company, and occasionally administering medication. The pets I have watched range in breed, age, and size – from a 15-year-old Chihuahua to a young Great Pyrenees, as well as various cats of different breeds and temperaments. There is no pet that I have not been able to provide exceptional love and care for! I am trustworthy, responsible, and more than capable of taking on any task! I currently have a very open and flexible schedule! I am fully available mornings, nights, and afternoons Monday through Sunday! Whenever you need me, I can be there! I make sure that dogs that I am looking after are fed, taken outside/on walks, and given any necessary medications at the hours they are used to. I follow instructions from pet owners about their animals carefully so that they feel comfortable and just as loved as they do by their owners!

“Alissa was great! Excellent communication, sent lots of photos. And our very shy cat warmed up to her very quickly! We felt very confident knowing that she was taking care of Moon. I would 100% recommend her and hope she'll be available again when we need a cat sitter.”


“Atxiri was absolutely amazing! She communicated every drop in with pictures and texts. She was incredibly attentive to our dogs giving us peace of mind while we were away. She’s the best!”



“Nancy was extremely thoughtful, communicated clearly, obviously has a lot of knowledge, and my cat was very comfortable with Nancy (photos showed my cat's tail was usually high, and a lot of rolling over to show tummy from the day 1 visit, etc.). 100% would book again!”


“It was my first time using a catsitting app, so I was not quite sure about the process. Brandon was super fast and helpful at responding to my queries and treated my cat very kindly. Will definitely contact for future bookings :)”


“Jessica was so nice and took such great care of my cats! She was very communicative and my cats really seemed to love her! I would absolutely book her again to care for my boys, and would highly recommend her as a sitter!! Thanks again Jessica 😸”


“This is my 2nd time using Katherine. She does a great job with my pets and really cares about making sure they are Fed, Happy, and full of energy each day. I definitely will be using her again on my next 2 business trips.”


“Amanda is absolutely great with my cat. She’s excellent with communication too, and a responsible person. She has cat sit for me multiple times and I intend to ask her to do it again.”


About: I’ve taken care of my family dog since I can remember. A stubborn westie… looking to give attention and love to your dog for stress relief! Currently working part time with availability all week except for Wednesday evenings and Saturdays. I have plenty of time to care for and be attentive to your pups! If they need a long walk, no problem. I am versed in caring for puppies and untrained dogs. At home in Maryland I was the neighborhood house and dog sitter. I will offer quality positive reinforcement training if needed.

“Anna is amazing with cats! she is also on time to the scheduled visits. this was not really easy to find in the city with other pet sitters. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is emotionally intelligent and truly understands cats.”


“Lillybeth is a fantastic cat sitter! She visited Smokey daily and made sure he was well taken care of and, of course, had fun at playtime. She was very communicative and sent multiple pictures and updates daily. I would absolutely have her look after Smokey again.”


About: 🗣EN, ES, RU I live in Jackson Heights and work from home full-time as a data analyst. I can do dog walking only in Jackson Hights, Queens. I can do house-stay in Manhattan or Queens. I'm very good with dogs and cats. I'm a runner and I love to walk. I enjoy spending time with furry friends outside, walking in a park or a street. Unfortunately, my co-op doesn't allow keeping pets, so I'm looking for other ways to meet new four lagged friends 😊 I hope your pet will enjoy spending fun time with me as much as I will do with them. P.S. For house-stay I will need access to wifi since I will have to do my first job. I'm a data analyst working from home full-time. My schedule is pretty flexible. I would be able to do dog walking in my neighborhood (Jackson Heights, Queens) from 9 am to 6 pm Monday thought Saturday. I can do house-sitting in Manhattan or Queens. Safety is very important to me. Please let me know if your dog has any issues meeting new people or other pets. I would expect you to give me a description of your dog character; what they like or dislike. On my end, I will thoroughly follow your instructions and make sure your baby is as comfortable as they could be.

“They were great, and I highly recommend picking them for cat sitting needs! I picked Olga and Nicol for drop-in cat sitting. It was helpful to have them while I was out of town for the holidays, communication was clear and easy, and they sent pictures when they visited. Their service was exceptional!”


About: I love pets and more than that, they love me! I take pride in providing care for animals whether it be walking, playing, or feeding them. My friends frequently ask for my assistance with their dogs and it usually turns out great! Note: I’m able to handle large dogs if needed. I can pet care dogs and cats for Wednesday (from 2pm to rest of the day) and for Friday and Saturday and Sunday for day and night. I have took care of a pet dog at my friend's home the dog name is Aaron and he is a golden doodle and I took care of him around a month. And where I learned alot and enjoyed doing that.
