They were amazing! I have two dogs who never received care outside of boarding and they were communicative, transparent, and provided top care for my dogs. Would leave more stars if I could.

This is our second booking with Katherine she’s always so wonderful with my senior cat and he’s very shy with most people. She’s also super responsive and detailed. I never worry when I know she’ll be around!

Rebecca was wonderful watching my two cats while I was away. They both can be on the shy side and Mia instantly was licking and looking for pets while Maya watched from a distance and enjoyed the company. She took care of all the necessities and took time to play with them and send updates and pictures. Will be using her again!

About: Hi! I’m Zoe! My husband and I are passionate animal lovers who have always had pets in our lives. I have a pug named Pikachu in my family and he has a corgi named Mocha in his family, but after getting married and moving out, we’ve missed having pets around. That’s why I became a sitter—I truly enjoy spending time with furry friends! On weekends, we often help care for our friend’s Samoyed, Cairo, so we have experience with both small breeds like pugs and corgis, as well as medium-sized dogs. Whether it’s puppy care, senior dog care, I’m happy to provide loving and attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, and give them the care they deserve! 🐾 As a curriculum designer in school, I have a flexible schedule with extended breaks. I works from home, allowing for flexible potty breaks throughout the day. One dog at a time!! When pets stay with me, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I love spending time outdoors, so I always take them for walks and let them explore safely while I’m out on my daily walks too. I also enjoy taking photos and short videos to capture their happy moments and send daily updates to owners, so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Hi! My name is Hallie, and I’m a certified animal lover. I grew up with some wonderful dogs and have been a proud cat mom for the last 10 years. I also worked as a dog walker/pet sitter for about six years at a reputable dog walking company in NYC. My time as a professional animal caretaker left me with a wealth of experience with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes, ages, temperaments, and abilities, so whatever your animal’s unique needs are, I am prepared to provide them with the personalized love and care they deserve. I understand how important your fluffy family members are to you and will happily provide you with as much communication, including details and pictures, as you like. Hope to connect with you and your pet soon! My schedule is very flexible! I make my own hours so I can easily work around your schedule. Weekdays, weekends, and evenings are all fair game. I’m available to stay with your pet in your home, so they can be totally comfortable and their routine, including meals, walks, and play sessions, can remain exactly the same as always.

About: I have had cats and dogs all my life. I currently have a Pittbull and 5 cats at home. I’ve been doing professional pet care since 2022. I’m currently working as a nurse and am looking for some extra income! My schedule is constantly changing but I do my best to update my calendar with my availability as often as possible. I usually know my schedule for work a month in advance. I don’t do overnight house sitting! I treat animals with respect and try to act in a way that respects their space and makes them feel as safe as possible. I will never force interactions between myself and a pet. They deserve clean places to live and top-notch care!

Deanna was absolutely amazing! Ours plans kept changing and she was so flexible and easy to work with. Our elderly kitty can be a bit of a drama queen an Deanna was quick to send videos and jump on the phone to make sure everything was okay. Tigger was so content and happy when we got home. I cannot recommend Deanna enough and know that whenever we’re out of town our first baby is in great hands.

Aleksandra was great with our cat! She sent us lots of pictures and dealt with all his tantrums effortlessly. He always looked very engaged in her photos, and he can be really lazy. We were always updated when she was dropping by. All his areas were kept very clean. She even helped with our plants, and they looked great on our return.
