Christopher did an amazing job of making sure I didn't have separation anxiety from cat. The daily check ins and photos kept me at peace. His personality is very warm and reassuring which also helps when trying to determine the best fit for your pet. I highly recommend him.

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!

I had Xiaoying feed my 2 year old cat Mo for several days while I was on vacation and she was incredible! She went above and beyond, checking and cleaning her litter box, bringing toys, and spending lots of quality time with her. Her reports were always incredibly detailed and included lots of pictures. She was quick to respond and made the whole booking process super easy. I can't recommend her enough!

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, 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.

About: As a pre-vet student with lifelong experience caring for animals, I bring both knowledge and genuine love to every pet I meet. I’ve cared for dogs, birds, hamsters, and my own cat, Aura, and I focus on making each pet whether shy, or curious feel safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. I integrate pet care into my daily life by feeding, walking, and playing with pets consistently. I ensure they get attention, exercise, and companionship on a routine schedule. I also monitor their health and adjust care based on their needs, so they feel safe and loved throughout the week. Im currently looking to focus on a job centered in pet care. I have an apartment with one indoor kitty who is immensely loved. She has multiple cozy spots, toys, and cat trees, and I care for her like she’s my pride and joy. Once I move to a bigger place, I hope to adopt or foster more cats. For any service I provide, I offer extreme love and attention as if the animal were my own. I believe all animals deserve joy and care, and I strive to provide the best possible environment for their happiness and safety.

This was our second time with Alejandra, and our cat continues to love her at least 10x as much as he does any of us. He’s incredibly happy and cuddly in the many photos and video she sends after every single visit, and the long and very detailed paragraph she writes each time is far more than our kid’s daycare ever did. I basically want to plan all future trips around her availability.

Xiaoying was so great! She took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. My cat needs medication every other day and regular facial cleaning, and she handled everything perfectly. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about my cat’s well-being. I was especially impressed by how clean and organized everything was when I returned. She went above and beyond, and I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I would gladly book with her again and highly recommend her to others.

Jennifer was fantastic—even our most bashful cat, who had to be allowed to eat in the bedroom on her first day, was showing up to greet Jen at the front door by the end of her gig. We got plenty of photos from each session, and they were happy and full of energy when I finally came home. I would definitely ask her to take care of our cats again!
