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.
About: Im pawsitively passionate. My love for fur babies isn't just a casual affair – it's a full-blown obsession. From my childhood days surrounded by critters to my current furry sidekick Rhi, I've got a lifetime of experience under my belt. Walks to Wag About: If there were an Olympic event for dog walking, I'd be a gold medalist! Whether it's a leisurely stroll around the block or a brisk jog through the park, I've got your pup covered. We'll explore, exercise, and create a canine adventure that'll leave tails wagging. I currently work from home. So having the flexibility to work from home is like hitting the jackpot for both you and your fur baby. I think safe and comfortable environment is key. Set up a designated area with a cozy bed, food and water bowls, and some toys to keep your furry guest happy.
“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.”
“Olga and Nicol took care of my cat over New Years. They’re very responsive and followed directions. One nice surprise: a couple of packages came in that I wasn’t able to pick up — they brought them up from the doorman anyways. Will rebook”
“We got home after a few days away while Johana was looking after our lively naughty boy Dudley. I could tell he’d been well looked after. He was happy and he usually really hates being home alone. Johana lavished care and attention on him. Everything was clean and our fur baby his usual self. Happy cat. Plus now I also have a lot of great photos! 5 stars. No hesitation.”
About: I am a dog mom to a 16 year old Yorkie called Delilah, and have been a sitter for dogs and cats for more than 10+ years. I have experience walking and taking care of big dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I have background knowledge about pet nutrition and behavioral issues from my time at a major pet brand. On walks, I always bring a bowl and some water, I make sure to ask lots of questions about any triggers and favorite streets, and always update you on any stool issues I might observe. I can't wait to meet your pup! I am currently available Sunday-Friday in the mornings, afternoons, and late evening. If you do not see the day or time you'd like to book with me, message me anyway and we can work something out! Meanwhile I love seeing your dog play with other dogs we may encounter on walks, for safety reasons I do not let them play or get too close as I do not know the other dogs temper and do not want to risk anyone getting injured. I always carry a water bottle and bowl with me, I always keep an eye on where the dog is sniffing to avoid any accidental food consumption, and prioritize the dogs comfortability on walks. I will give you stool updates on every walk and notify you when I observe something was off.
“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: I’ve been dog sitting for friends since 2015. Oreo was a rescue and came into my life in 2019 and that experience has been amazing thanks to doggy training classes. I’m a former kindergarten teacher with CCSD; I work from home and currently am available for visits and walks. I go on two daily walks with my sociable 5yo dog but don't mind walking extra and getting in more steps. I have a sweet pup named Oreo who gets along well with all pups and is amazing at sharing toys and attention. I have a minimalist decorating concept for an enormous play area living room. Dogs are allowed on furniture and love practicing tricks and training as Oreo grows beyond the basic commands. As a native NYC lady I enjoy walking about 3 miles a day.
About: I am known as a reliable, fast learner and knows how to have fun. Recently, I cared for one of my favorite breeds and I have to say although tired but at the end of the day it is rewarding. Warning: will spoil your pup I have love for all cats and dogs. I Always wanted to incorporate working with animals as part of my lifestyle or as a career. Would follow specific instructions and ask questions if need be. I also have a network of fellow dog mom and pups that I rely on for support and guidance.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 2 decades. I’ve helped train dogs, provided prescribed medication, assisted in emergencies and give lots of puppy pats. I’ve worked with 15- year-old chihuahuas and 6 month old Labrador puppies without any issue or worry. Overall, I’ve been a pet owner and understand how important it is to feel comfortable putting your dog in a new situation. So I’m happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. My main priority is that your pet is safe, comfortable and cared for until your return. I’m a freelancer and I usually can work remotely, so I have the freedom to schedule my week as I see fit. That means I can take dogs out multiple times in a day, without it disrupting my schedule. In my home, I live in an apartment which means I take dogs out every 2 hours. Depending on their size and energy I take longer or shorter walks. And at other people homes I’m happy to follow specific instructions but, as my own set of rules, I make sure to clean any messes I find on the property, if a vacuum is available I’m happy to vacuum hair/fur, especially if the pet owner is away for more than 5 days, I’m always available to communicate if any owner wants to check in with me and of course I’m happy to face time if you’d like to check in on your pet. I usually send and end of day message with a picture of your pup and a review of our day.
“Daniel Was wonderful! He went above and beyond and I appreciate his effort very much, as does Mocha!. Would definitely request his services again.”
About: Petsitting has brought me so much joy over the last several years! I have plenty of experience with cats and dogs of all kinds, each with their own unique personality. I will always prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment and stick closely to your pets routine to keep them happy, healthy, and engaged. Please note while I'll be the primary sitter, my boyfriend will be helping me care for your fur babies sometimes. With balancing care, work and just everything else, I may need a little help and I feel lucky to have someone who is always willing to step in. I work mostly remote with 1-3 days in the office. My work schedule is quite flexible week to week so whatever your needs are please feel free to reach out and I will find a way to adapt my schedule to your needs. Please note that my boyfriend may join me for sits especially when I need to go into work or just need some extra help with the walks. He loves animals equally so I am glad to have him step in whenever needed. I currently do not have any pets at home so your fur baby will have all my attention! I can both board and pet sit at your place. I am also available for walks or drop ins. Whatever the need, my flexible work schedule and my love for animals ensures I am present with your fur baby and give them all the love and comfort while also making sure they follow their routine while you are away.

Suvekcha B.
“I met Suvekcha through a cat sitting social media group. Since then Suvekcha has watched my cat multiple times over long periods of time (3 days +). She asked my preference on how often I want to be updated on my cat, which I thought was really intentional and I appreciated. Upon my preference, she updated me once a day, and she provided pictures and reassurance upon request. My cat loves her, and I’ve had the smoothest cat sitting experience with her. Even when my cat got sick, Suvekcha provided timely updates and made me feel at ease. She also left my apartment in immaculate condition. It is stressful to leave your pet and apartment to someone you don’t know, but Suvekcha has been nothing but trustworthy and respectful. She single-handedly took out all of the stress of leaving my furry best friend for a few days. I highly recommend Suvekcha. She is kind, responsive, and attentive. You will not regret booking her!”
