About: I've always had dogs in my life growing up and recently have gotten a puppy on my own! However, I moved to Jersey for my post-doctoral fellowship and was unable to bring her with me. I have a well trained 5 year-old doodle that I miss a ton! I love long walks and would be awesome to bring your furry friend with me and I can definitely leash train while on walks as well. your pet remains clean, comfortable, and happy throughout their stay. You can expect timely updates and photos so you can see how well your furry friend is doing. Your pet will be in a loving and attentive environment, receiving the best care possible. I currently work from home so I will have plenty of time with your pups! I love training dogs and I would say it is my specialty. I have a fenced in dog area and lots of parks around my neighborhood that I would love to take your dog around. We'll enjoy long walks then just park up on the couch watching TV.
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My household includes a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, so I'm comfortable managing everything from giant breeds and high-energy dogs to independent, affectionate cats. Living with a Doberman has given me experience with intelligent, active dogs that thrive on structure, exercise, and attention. My Great Dane has taught me the unique needs of giant breeds, including gentle handling, patience, and awareness of their size and comfort. My two Maine Coons have helped me develop an understanding of feline behavior, grooming needs, and creating a calm, enriching environment for cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I have the space and resources to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐕🐈 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, my days are already structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, supervised play, and check-ins. Pets in my care receive regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. My large rooftop deck also provides a convenient space for supervised outdoor time and exercise between walks. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency, so I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized large dogs—a Doberman Pinscher and a Great Dane—who are accustomed to being around other animals. I carefully manage introductions and always prioritize each pet's comfort level to ensure a positive experience for everyone. One of the highlights of my home is a spacious 1,600-square-foot private rooftop deck, providing plenty of room for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, play, and exercise. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and all activities are monitored to maintain a safe environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. 🐾

“We really appreciate Flora looking after Fido. He is happy to trot in and spend the day with her, and it gives us great peace of mind that he’s safe and happy during the day.”

“Peter was amazing with our puppy, Watson. He was extremely patient, communicative, and punctual. He sent photos throughout the days that Watson was with him and provided updates. I am so grateful to have found him and can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Peter!”

About: ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My first dog — Lucy, a Border Collie I had when I was 11 back in Shanghai, China — was my best friend for 16 years. Alongside her, I cared for a rescued stray cat "Noji" and an adopted poodle "Bebe" when I was 13, which taught me patience, responsibility, policing different pets, and how to understand different pet personalities. After moving to the U.S. for school, I brought home my baby Corgi "Brioche" in 2020. She’s now a 5-year-old certified service dog who’s friendly, well-trained, and walked three times a day for at least 30 minutes each time. I also helped train and kept a baby Devon Rex cat for my family in 2025. What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, ages, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I love fur babies more than anything and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I will be working part time starting summer 2026 in NYC, so my schedule is flexible, I'm available for daily walks, boarding both weekdays and weekends. I live in a 2 bedroom in FiDi close to battery park city. There are no crates and my corgi was never crate-trained. I don't have indoor pet potty so I almost only take my dog out for potty unless the weather is crazy. I have plenty of dog beds and toys.
“Candy was always a home body watched by family. I can see from the pictures that Christina sent that she put Candy at ease and Candy enjoyed her stay. Thank you Christina!”

“My pup had such a fun day with Grace! Lots of playing and a nice long walk/time outside. Really appreciate the attention and cuddles she gave! Would highly recommend.”

“Review Kayla was absolutely wonderful with Rocky! Rocky can be a little nervous when meeting new people, so I wasn’t sure how he would do with a new sitter. But he immediately clicked with Kayla, and it was so clear from the start that he felt comfortable and safe with her. She was incredibly patient, welcoming, and loving, and you could tell how much care and attention she gave him. Rocky had such a great time that he practically didn’t want to come home! I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with a sitter. Kayla is truly amazing, and I would absolutely trust her with Rocky again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family!”

“Our little Tate looked like he had a wonderful time! From the moment they first met, Tate seemed really at ease with Nancy and Derek. They were so communicative and caring, and Tate will definitely be back!”

“Nike can be nervous around new people but I can see that she definitely loved Kristi! We got regular updates and pictures and we’re happy that we met Kristi. Thank you!”

“Amanda was wonderful with out dachshund, Lola, who fell in love with her very quickly. Lola can be a bit of a handful (big personality, Napoleon syndrome) but Amanda knew how to handle her, and it sounds like they both had a great time. I know Lola got lots of cuddles and activity, and after the first day (when she was nervous being left with a stranger), she was very excited to see Amanda every morning.”


“Sal is great guy. We had no issues leaving our 14 weeks old pup. We got picture updates and instant replies which made our day trip without tension. We would love to use his service again. Don’t hesitate and book!”

“Vera was a great sitter to sesame. She was extremely thorough, asked questions and very caring to sesame especially when it comes to his anxiety. Sesame seemed to get comfortable around Vera very quickly. Definitely recommend Vera”

Vera was wonderful with our little Shih Tzu! She took him out for walks and gave him a comfortable place to rest, kept us updated with pictures and videos and was very responsive and communicative throughout the booking process and the actual stay. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Appreciate Grace for being patient and taking care of my Jubilee. She took the time during our meet and greet to learn more about Jubilee and her personality which I really appreciate since every dog has different needs and energy level. I’ve asked Grace to watch Jubilee twice now for daycare and I will definitely ask her again in the future.

Chi-wing is amazing and took exceptional care of my furbabies! He kept me updated throughout their stay and regularly sent photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. From the moment they arrived, Chi-wing and his wife gave my babies such a warm and loving welcome, making them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Knowing they were in such caring and trustworthy hands allowed me to truly relax while I was away. They were incredibly attentive, receptive, and responsive to my furbabies’ needs, ensuring they received all the love, care, and comfort they deserved. I will definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and reliable place for their furbabies. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my babies. See you again soon! ❤️
