“My dog Sui was well cared for and happy to see Robert when he returned my apartment key promptly as scheduled. Thank you Robert and Holly for caring for Sui last minute when I was invited out of town for New Year’s Eve. I would rebook/recommend them for people with larger dogs as they were very comfortable handling my hyper German Shepherd mix dog Sui (90 lbs on a leash).”

“Both our yorkies are on meds and one is on a special diet. Brigit did great with the meds and feeding. I feel the dogs were well cared for the week we were away.”

“Cristina did a great job with caring for my Tortie kitty Liza during the week I was away. She was very timely with her visits at the normal feeding times and was consistant with following all instructions. I can say she has right vibes with animals when she was able to give my sweet Liza some lap time, which I was thrilled about. I will definitely work with Cristina again.”

About: Hello and thank you for viewing my profile. I have been an animal lover my whole life and currently have 2 dogs and 4 cats. I have cared for other's pets for 15+ years. I'm familiar with training and handling young puppies and kittens as well as dealing with aging pets that need a little extra care. I understand that pets all have their own personalities and I work to adapt to them to ensure they are comfortable and happy. Pets are family and my goal is to ensure they are properly cared for while you're away. I am currently available to care for pets in the early afternoon and evenings on Monday - Friday and available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I prefer to do a brief meet and greet to get to know your pet and their environment. I'm respectful of your home and pets and understand the importance of caring for them while you're away. I take notes and get all the information I need to ensure everyone is comfortable. I'm great at communicating updates to give you peace of mind.

“Geneva was a dream!!!!!!! My cat instantly liked her and she can often be shy with new people. Geneva took such great care of Cocina while I was gone for 2 weeks. She sent photos and videos everyday and made sure my kitty got the best care, brushes and chit chats. I would hire her again!!! THE BEST!!! 6 STARS, if you ask me. :)”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have had two registered therapy dogs and have house sat for numerous families. I love all dogs and just want them to be cared for whi families enjoy their time away I’m retired so I have an open schedule and am free for days or weeks depending on your needs. I can housework or host. Just let me know anytime I have a gated yard as well as doggie door access and don’t really crate animals. I let them run free in the house unless otherwise specified

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats my entire life and enjoy their company. I had two Labradors and four cats sharing my home, who have since gone over the Rainbow Bridge. My sister has a middle-aged rescue brindle, a two-year-old calico cat, and a Retriever puppy that I assist caring for which fills that furry gap. My diversity in caring for old and young dogs is extensive along with varieties of dogs from Labradors to Pittbull-mixes to Bassett Hounds. I love how pets fill our hearts with love and affection and I enjoy being with them, caring and playing with them. Being retired I can spend as much time as needed to care for your fur babies. My versatile schedule allows me availability to be with them whenever needed to let them out, play, feed and check on them. I look forward to meeting them, and you. I have done house and pet sitting for many years bringing experience and attention to every home and pet I meet. One of my goals is to bring comfort when you are away knowing your home and pets are well cared for. My first priority is to be mindful of the location of each dog and cat while there. Safety is most important, being aware of closed doors and gates to avoid any mishaps and alert to anything on the floor or within reach that could be ingested. Every pet has their unique habits and I am careful to learn those from you and them and focus on their needs. I enjoy giving people that comfort knowing their fur babies and their home are in good hands.

About: Hi! My name is Paulo. I love dogs and it is a pleasure been able to work with them. I have experience on taking care of dogs, since I have aways been a dog parent myself. I will treat your loved one with patience, respect and professionalism. I do dog walks and dog sitting. I am from Brazil, and I have such love for my dog that I brought my mixed dog Lupita from there to leave with me in New York City. She was rescued from a shelter there, and have made my life way more fullfil and happy since then. Other than that, I've aways had dogs and other pets since I was a kid and I have been walking and sitting dogs for two years.

“Terrance was able to step in at the last minute and come watch my pup for two days. He did a great job and was very responsive. On time. And a pleasure to have watching my dog. I’m definitely going to keep him as a contact for future bookings. Highly recommended.”

“Skyler did such a great job catsitting for our two kitties!! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were gone. Skyler made sure she knew how to administer our cats medications before we left, and we felt confident in her with her past experience. I would definitely recommend Skyler to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter:)”

About: Hello my name is Wendy. I am an assertive individual with a calm energy, who is flexible on size and breed, and with over ten years experience providing pet care. I own vehicle that can accommodate multiple dogs comfortably and take 2-3 walks daily, even in inclement weather. I have the flexibility of caring for puppies and understand the need for frequent potty breaks as well as playtime opportunities for socialization. I often board dogs from multiple families concurrently, and provide separate areas for meal time in order to keep feeding time safe. Play time is supervised and breed appropriate toys are available upon request to ensure a safe fun stay. If I am required to leave the house while caring for your pet, I separate all dogs and have a large crate available if needed I am self employed and able to make my own schedule. This allows me to accommodate a variety of needs that my clients may have. At my current residence, I have a fenced in back yard to allow for safe off leash exploration. I also, as mentioned, provide separate eating areas, to ensure a safe environment during mealtime.

About: I lost my sixteen-year-old fur baby in October, 2018 and find myself missing that special energy only pets can bring. I have been caring for various pets for my friends and family for about 20 years and have done drop ins and overnight visits. I do have a full-time 8-5:30, Monday-Friday (and many Saturdays) job however, and am not available to provide constant care for pets. I do have more than enough time to devote myself to the love and care of your fur baby. In my home, in my life, dogs and cats are family and deserve the same love, care, and respect that human beings deserve. Perhaps more. While I have more experience with dogs I haven’t met a cat I couldn’t win over. Rest assured that if you place the care of your beloved pets in my hands they will be well loved while you are out of town. Your home will be cared for as well. I do have a “regular” 8 am to 5 pm job. My evenings and nights are free. Weekends are also more flexible for me when it comes to spending quality time with your baby. I am not able to provide constant care. I live in an apartment complex so I am more than happy to visit your fur baby in their own environment. I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible so I’d prefer to maintain the schedule and comfort they’re used to.

“Stasia did drop in visits for three days to take care of my big dog. Her communication was great! She included pictures with each visit. She is reliable and trustworthy, follows directions well, and I would definitely use her services again.”

About: I've had animals in my life as far back as I can remember - I learned to understand them over time. I've taken care of cats and dogs for well over a decade by now, mainly for friends and family. Animals have always struck me as having misunderstood intelligence; I find it striking how different every pet's language is. That's why I strive to make myself available for your pets when you can't be around. I don't want to just feed them and have them go outside and move their legs. I want to give them the attention and time they deserve and hopefully let them feel recognized while their favorite person is away. I work full-time M-F, so my availability for Rover is limited to the early mornings and afternoons (after 5pm). I am available on weekends, with enough heads up notice! I am also typically always available during holidays. I'm big on communication. Lists and rules are great to have on hand, if you have any! I understand every pet is different as requires a different routine, has different toys, diets, etc. When it comes to cleanliness, fear not, I'm on it. Litter boxes are cleaned daily, pee pads will be swapped every couple days, compost rules are okay, longer walks are a luxury I'll enjoy along with your dog, and I'd like to think I'm at least a decent mediator for pet on pet drama.
