“My cat Stevie was very happy to be looked after by Jennie. I received regular updates, photos and videos. Coming home to a happy cat is massively reassuring and will definitely ask Jennie to look after her again 😸”
“Jillian is awesome! My dog would get super excited to see her for their time together and was always calm and relaxed when we saw him later in the day. Will definitely continue booking through the summer!”
“We had the pleasure of having Sergio drop in to play with our dog, Xena, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment he arrived, it was clear that he has a genuine love for animals. Xena absolutely adored him and had a fantastic time playing and exploring!”

About: When you love dogs or cats that love will always be with you whether you’re caring for your own pets or someone else’s. I believe pets should be treated like people, with love and a concern for their comfort, happiness and well being. After owning a family retail business for many years, and then working for a major national bank, it was time for a change. Why not do something that involves my love for pets? Dog walking was the answer. For the past eight years I've been delivering dog walking services to pet owners, ensuring strict supervision of pets during excursions while providing a safe and nurturing environment for dogs with different needs, temperaments and medical conditions. Most importantly, you can rest assured that the safety, security and well being of your dog will always be my number one priority. I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs or cats, Monday through Friday between 8 am & 4 pm. I’m not usually available on weekends, however, if you’re in a bind and need a walk or a visit on a Saturday or a Sunday, and I have no plans that weekend, I most likely will be able to do it as long as it’s no later than 12 pm. For your dog's safety, dogs are prolific sniffers, inevitably putting things in their mouths that they shouldn't. I pay close attention to and keep a watchful eye on the ground to make sure your dog doesn't put anything in its mouth that can be harmful. In the unlikely event your dog or cat needs medical attention, I’m certified in cat and dog first aid by the American Red Cross.
“Cannot say enough good things about Cheryl. She is a gem. Beyond caring and able to accommodate two dogs of different ages and needs. she has made all of our lives better (humans included!)”
“Anya was punctual and very kind and caring with our dogs. Ruby is a nervous dog, and Anya adjusted to her needs. Anya was able to safely walk both dogs together. It was the puppy’s longest walk so far! Both dogs liked Anya a lot. I would recommend Anya for your pet care needs.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, have one dog and 2 cats of my own now! My babies are my life and i will ensure to take great care of your babies too!! I have experience with administering meds (oral and topical), physical therapy post surgery (my pup had ACL surgery), long walks, and lots cuddles! I will always ensure a safe environment for your fur babies I’m currently not working a 9–5, which means your pet gets my full attention. I have a flexible schedule and can easily work around your needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening cuddle sessions. I’m available weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute requests. If your schedule changes unexpectedly (because life happens!), I can usually adjust on my end to make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. Your pet won’t be “fit into” my schedule—they’ll be my schedule. 🐾 Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I’m very comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I make sure every walk is secure—using well-fitted harnesses or leashes, avoiding overly crowded areas, and paying close attention to traffic, weather, and other dogs. I love giving pets the exercise they need—whether that’s a brisk walk, a gentle stroll for seniors, or an energetic game of fetch. Cuddle time and playtime are always included, so your pet feels loved and cared for. I also have a fully fenced yard, perfect for safe, supervised off-leash time if your dog enjoys a good run or game of chase. I’m always outside with them during yard time, making sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe!
About: Dog Mom to three beautiful mixed-breed rescue dogs: Izzy (10) Staffy mix, Sadie (3) Dachshund mix, Monica Lewinsky (2) Chihuahua mix. Throughout my time owning Izzy in NYC and NJ, I've worked with multiple trainers & behaviorists to better understand reactive/sensitive dogs. I'm well versed in reading body language, avoiding triggering situations, and reinforcing good behavior. All the dogs in the neighborhood know I have treats on me at all times! I'm working freelance so I have nearly full availability currently. My dogs get three 30+ minute walks a day plus backyard + basement play sessions. I'm not accepting boarding at this time but safety would be my top priority when caring for your pet in your home or neighborhood. This includes double door systems, ensuring collar/harness is applied properly, and always being alert on walks. (I don't use my phone on walks so I can be actively present!)
“Patrick & Kelly have done so well with our animals and plants! Always punctual and great communication! They are highly recommended and I have no hesitation to ask them to look after our pets and plants!”
“Lovely and sweet! Very prompt with communication and meeting up! My baby is still shy so she didn’t get to play together but she was well feed, watered and had a clean litter box!”
“Anna was wonderful and communicative. Arrived on time every day and kept the house spotless. My cats clearly loved her - I’ve never seen them so happy and well-adjusted when I return from a trip! I would not hesitate to book her again. Worth every penny!”
About: I have had two cats all my life which I have cared for, fed and changed litter for. I have also experienced walking a dog before as well as playing and being friendly towards them as well. I am free anytime from here up until the 16th of August which is when I will be going back to college, but I will be free when winter break comes around. My cats are house cats so it is very easy for me to keep them safe. I shoo them away from anything dangerous or anything they shouldn’t be messing with quickly. As for dogs, I always keep an eye on them and have a tight grip on their leash when walking them so they don’t run off.
“Gabrielle watched our four cats for a week and she is amazing! Gave meds to Willow on schedule, and the reclusive Pippin made a showing. Our home and all things relating to the cats was perfectly taken care of. Gabrielle has a kind and calm nature that made our four cats comfortable. Great communicator too! Highly recommend for pet sitting!!”

Steve W.Star Sitter
“Based on a neighbor's recommendation we contacted Steve to walk Charlie our Jack Russell. They have been walking buddies now for the past 7 months. Steve provides personal care and attention during their walks and gives him a treat and water when they return. He always provides an update as to what Charlie did on his walk and on occasion texts us some pics. He is very dependable, always confirms his appointments for the week and Charlie looks forward to his walks with Steve. We highly recommend him”
