House Sitting in Kew Gardens

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and have had two cats of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every pet like they’re my own not just making sure they’re fed, but making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I naturally pay attention to the little things changes in behavior, mood, or appetite because I know those details matter. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or more shy and independent, I adjust to their personality and let them warm up at their own pace. I’m very consistent with routines because I know that’s what helps pets feel secure. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. You’ll always get regular updates and photos, so you don’t have to wonder how your pet is doing. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands. I have a very open and flexible schedule. I can easily work around your pet’s routine, whether that means early mornings, evenings, or multiple check-ins throughout the day. Since I’m not juggling a busy schedule right now, I’m able to spend more quality time with your pet instead of rushing in and out. If your pet wants playtime, company, or just someone to sit nearby while they do their own thing, I’m there for it. I’m very mindful of creating a calm and safe environment, especially since pets can be sensitive to changes. I make sure doors and windows are secure, feeding areas are clean, and everything stays consistent with what your pet is used to. I pay attention to behavior and give pets space when they need it, but I’m also happy to sit with them, play, or just exist in the same space if that’s what they prefer. Sometimes the best way to bond with a pet is to not try too hard. I treat your home with respect and follow your instructions closely so everything stays exactly how you like it.

About: Fun fact: my profile picture is of me and Panda 🐼, the first fur baby I ever took care of for a family friend when I was 12! I am someone who has always grown up around animals including dogs, cats, turtles, and birds. I’ve always had a desire to take care of them, so much that at one point I wanted to go to veterinary school. Although I decided to switch to nursing, being able to take care of the adoring pets of others is something that I’d love to keep as my hobby. I’ll make sure to love your pet the same way I loved the ones I grew up with. All in all, I get to distress from school, and they can get all the cuddles and play in the world. It’s a win win! I’ll also make sure to keep you updated with pictures and videos so you can rest assured that they’ll be in good hands :) I am currently a full-time nursing student, with all of my classes being on Tuesdays. Besides that, I am available any other day of the week :) I also speak Spanish! When caring for your pet in your home, my top priorities are safety, respect, and consistency. I treat your space with the same care and cleanliness I’d expect in mine, and I make sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I will carefully follow your instructions, stick to your pet’s routine, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Whether it’s feedings, litter box cleaning, going for a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m reliable, gentle, and always respectful of your home and your pet’s well-being. You can relax knowing they’re in trustworthy, experienced hands.

About: I am an animal lover living in Ridgewood. I grew up with cats my entire life. I also raised a basset hound named Sandor. I am kind and compassionate, willing to do overnights, drop-ins, and walks with your pets. Establishing trust with an animal and allowing them to adjust to your presence is one of the most important parts of the process. I have been caring for neighbors pets for years and walked dogs professionally in Manhattan. I’m available for walks and drop-ins during the weekdays also overnights if you’re going out of town for a week or more. I love pets. I will be able to drop in to give your fur baby some love when you’re at work or will stay overnight when you travel.

“Andrea took amazing care of our dog when we were away for 2 weeks. She gave her long walks, all the treats, and followed all care instructions. She’s attentive and loves our dog, even though our doggy can be a little nervous and timid at first. We love that we now can have a caring dog walker and sitter for our little Mia. Thanks Andrea!!”

“Mandel was great with our dog, incredibly respectful of our home, and very communicative! Will definitely look forward to him caring for our dog again!”

“Marisa was wonderful! She spent the weekend expertly caring for our 6 cats and dogs as if they were her own. Marisa was really good about communicating with us throughout the weekend, both in writing and through sharing pictures. Caring for 6 fur babies is a lot to begin with but she handled all of them so well. I would recommend and would love to work with Marisa again.”

About: My first time taking care of a dog and house sitting was in 2018. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Even though the pandemic has changed how we live our lives, I am definitely looking forward to getting back to Dog walking or sitting. I currently work full-time. I can be available on the weekends. The morning or even the afternoon works well with me. I can also try to change my schedule if needed. I follow any instructions given to me on how to care for a pet. I have and will treat them as if they were mine.

“Schirn is great. My dog loved her immediately and our guest dog did too. Mine can be very anxious but no issues at all. Good communication and I felt very comfortable leaving the dogs with Schirn.”

“Tedy was absolutely exceptional at house and cat sitting during my first trip in several years. Both cats instantly fell in love with her, she kept my home tidy, and really made me feel safe and assured knowing they were safe and loved in her hands. Tedy is now a friend and the sitter I will rely on forever, she’s amazing.”

“Kaylee is amazing. Our 1 year old pitbull loved her from the first minute. She is truly a "dog person". Our dog Cannoli had surgery earlier in the week. Kaylee followed all our instructions with medication and sent videos. We could see our baby snuggled up with Kaylee sleeping. I will Absolutely be booking again.”
