“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!”


About: I have over 20 years of experience living with and caring for dogs, ranging from high-energy puppies to gentle seniors. Having raised a dog through every stage of its life, I am deeply attuned to animal behavior and specialized needs. What sets me apart is my active lifestyle; as a regular runner and yoga practitioner, I have the physical stamina to provide long, engaging walks for high-energy breeds. I am also a cat mom to two, so I’m comfortable with multi-pet households. I pride myself on being incredibly punctual, communicative, and observant. Whether your pet needs a fast-paced run or a patient stroll, I treat every animal with the same safety-first mindset and affection I give my own. I am currently in a transitional summer before I move across the country to begin my MBA at Berkeley Haas this fall. Because I am currently away from my full-time job, pet care is my primary focus for the summer. I have wide-open, flexible availability for walks, drop-ins, and boarding throughout the week and on weekends. Since I am preparing for a rigorous graduate program, I am extremely organized and disciplined with my time, ensuring that I am consistently punctual and reliable for every booking. Safety is my absolute priority. In my home, I provide a calm and secure environment where your pet will be treated like family. I am a cat mom to two friendly indoor cats, so I am very experienced in managing multi-pet dynamics and ensuring a peaceful environment for everyone. I am happy to accommodate crating or provide separate spaces if your dog prefers their own area. When caring for pets in your home, I am hyper-vigilant about security and following your specific household rules. My background as a runner and yoga practitioner keeps me physically capable and mentally alert, so you can rest assured your pet is in safe, attentive hands while you are 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.”


“Nancy was fantastic. We couldn't have asked for more or better! Tiny and Trout adored her right from the start!! And we are sure they are already miising her. Can't recommend her enough!”

“Xiaoying was super accommodating for my last minute request for my cats to be fed super early in the morning! My boys have a bit of a complex feeding situation but she followed all the instructions perfectly. She even played with them and sent tons of funny, adorable pictures!”


“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!”

“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.”

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.
“Hemei did a great job taking care of our cat. She did everything we asked and was very communicative. We felt very comfortable being away with our cat in her care and would definitely book her again.”

“Vanessa was sweet and consistent in taking care of my kitty while I was gone. She communicated throughout the entire process and before, to coordinate key exchanges and meet and greets. I am grateful for how much she played with and hung out with my cat while I was gone :)”

“Laura once again provided excellent care of my cat Kali. Followed all care instructions perfectly and had great communication throughout my time away. Would definitely rebook with Laura in the future.”

“Alissa was great, as always! She went above and beyond by dealing with an unforeseen situation with our cat breaking into a room she wasn't supposed to be in. Our shy cat is always happy to see her, and communication is excellent. 100% recommend!”

“Michelle did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away for work. She was punctual and consistently sent updates with pictures and videos. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Teemo and will definitely book her services again.”

“Hsiujen has watched my cat puffles multiple times now and does a great job with him every time. I can tell he feels comfortable and safe with her. Highly recommend for any pet sitting needs!”

“April was very receptive to all notes and random updates prior to every visit. Her communication was excellent and provided real time updates and pics which was really helpful! Would book again and recommend!”

“I'm grateful that Peggy was available to come take care of my cat on short notice. She did a great job looking after him and was flexible and responsive. Thank you so much!!”

Madeleine took such wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town! She was responsive and very understanding of all of his needs! With an older cat, it gives us a lot of comfort knowing that Madeleine is there to make sure he is ok when we aren't around. She sent us daily updates and pictures to keep us aware of how he was doing! We'll definitely be booking her in the future!
Big thanks to Karalyn for giving me peace of mind when I have to travel away from my cats. Updates and pics were perfect and thank you for keeping them cool, looking good with the brushing and keeping us up to date on my elusive void cat when photos were not possible. ❤️

Sarah was so great with our two kitties! One takes a pill twice a day and Sarah was willing to come by to administer both times for multiple days. She easily figured out tricks to get our stubborn kitty to take her meds even when she didn’t want to, and our other shy kitty was quickly comfortable enough to come out of her hiding spot for food and pets. Highly recommend!

Sebastian took attentive care to my three cats while I was away. He provided timely, consistent daily updates and included lots of photos. He also updated me when any changes in my cats’ behaviors, including noticing when one of my cats started showing signs of a cold.

Donna is the absolute best. She somehow did the impossible and now my kitty waits for her by the door. Our cat typically only likes my husband and I. Donna is truly the pet whisperer. She’s also such a delight. We are so grateful to have Donna as our cat sitter.
