About: I have connected with animals from wild deer to the neighborhood dog and I have treated each with the utmost love and respect. I hold animals in a very special place in my heart and I think they know it. I’m the type of person to to wait 5 full minutes for a dog to sniff out a tree, or be surrounded by squirrels in the park because I just can’t help myself but give them little treats. I’ve worked with puppies to seniors and I am well prepared to care for and love your pet. I’m currently working as a freelance model and actor which gives me full availability and freedom to care for pets any day or time of week. I am able to stay for in-home care or come by several times a day to check in! I am unable to house pets in my apartment however I am fully capable of tending to your pet in their own home. I will prioritize your home rules above all else (ex. no dogs on the couch) and keep your pet in their routine as you wish. I am very responsible and will respect your home as I am a guest in it.

About: 4+ years managing up to 40 dogs daily in professional daycare and boarding facilities. Experienced with puppies, seniors, prescription medications, insulin administration, behavior monitoring, and leash handling. I take the time to learn every dog's personality and make sure each pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I work part time as a Daycare Supervisor at a dog facility in NYC, so pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. It's summer break, so while I am a Bioengineering student at NYIT, I currently have a ton of flexibility in my schedule and I am looking to fill my days doing what I love most. Whether that is a long walk through the neighborhood, a run in the park, or a cozy hang at home, I am happy to work around your schedule and make sure your pup is getting the attention and care they deserve. I love exploring the city and there is no better way to do it than with a dog by my side! Whether I am watching your pup in my home or yours, your dog's safety and comfort is always my top priority. I have years of experience reading dog behavior and body language, so I am always paying attention to how your pet is feeling and adjusting accordingly. For drop in visits and dog walking, I follow your routine closely and make sure your home is left exactly as I found it. For boarding and doggy daycare at my place, I keep a calm, clean, and structured environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. I am experienced handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including those with medical needs like prescription medications and insulin. I will always communicate with you throughout the visit with updates, photos, and anything you need to feel at ease while you are away. Your pup is in safe, experienced, and caring hands!

“Needed a last minute person and she came through, followed instructions, did everything I told her to do, really appreciate her. Thank you for taking care of my baby’s”

About: Hi! I’m Holly and I’ve loved and cared for animals of all kinds (chickens, dogs, reptiles, birds, kitties, and fish) my entire life. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and providing care for senior animals with changing needs. As a teacher, I love spending my free time and summers with animals, making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, or a chill hangout, I'll take care of them like I would my own pets. I’m currently on summer vacation from teaching, so I have ample free time to spend caring for your animals! Available Monday through Friday throughout the work day. I follow all details of care instructions and make sure your animal feels safe, comfortable, and has plenty of love and attention. On walks, I use secure leashes, pay close attention to our surroundings, and make sure your pup gets the exercise they need. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your space, stick to their routine, and send updates with photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

“Melissa is the best!!”

“Devora was super communicative, and was very patient with Cheeto (who can be a bit suspicious of new people in his space!). I got regular updates during the walk and felt at ease knowing she was looking after my lil guy. Will definitely be booking w Devora again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets :) I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 10am. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow the owner’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also keep the home clean and send regular updates with photos.

“Marcela did an amazing job!! She was so communicative and responsive, and took great photos and videos of the walk. I can tell my dog got comfortable with her very quickly, and that she was able to read his communication and body language very quickly as well.”

About: Several years ago, when a friend was going through a rough time in her life, I housed and took care of her dog for half a year, and that's when I realized I could do this! Since then, I've regularly taken care of other friends' pets on and off, and I would love to do the same for your pet too! This is my full-time job, which means you and your fur baby will get my full-time attention! Except for Thursdays which I reserve for community volunteer work, my schedule is very flexible, and I will do my best to accommodate you and your pet's needs. I live in a 1-bedroom apartment with no roommates! I also have 2 AC units to keep the space nice and cool during the hot summer months. Every few months, I also house my friend's pet, an American Eskimo dog who is very friendly and absolutely loves meeting other dogs! I live near several dog parks that are within 15 minutes' walk, so your fur babies will always have a chance to meet new friends and neighbors. I love taking care of dogs, whether at my home or at yours!

“Asher did a wonderful job watching our dog, Hendrix! Hendrix is sometimes not the most comfortable around strangers but we knew he was in good hands with Asher and really warmed up to him. Asher was always very responsive and kept us posted on updates. We will definitely ask Asher to dog sit again.”

“Mathilda is great! She came to meet our new rescue pup and was great with him. She's very kind, convenient and accommodating. Her flexibility and willingness to work with our schedule and be patient with our dog is great. Would definitely recommend to book!”

“My dog is old and has quite a few special needs. Austin has a really lovely way with him. Austin has been incredibly patient and gentle and thoughtful about my dog's experience. I highly recommend Austin to care for your senior dog or any dog with special needs.”

“Ona continues to eagerly look forward to her walks with Sharon twice a week! She lies and waits for Sharon at the door and is over-the-moon excited to see Sharon! Sharon is patient with Ona, a senior, and we have the utmost trust in Sharon!”

About: Hello! My name is Faith and I am a pet sitter with 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even lizards! Over the past ten years, I have gained experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I find joy in getting to know your pet’s unique personality and catering to their needs! As I am pet sitting full time, I have open availability for drop-in visits, housesitting, and walking, and am able to accommodate to your pet’s specific schedule. I prioritize safety, routine, and communication. When housesitting or doing drop-in visits, I make sure to follow all care instructions closely and maintain your pet's normal schedule to eliminate any stress! When walking, I am alert and attentive, and I am mindful of your pet's walking/socialization habits.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and love watching and caring for my friend's and family pets. I will treat your pet like my own. I work M-F 9a-5p in Manhattan near Grand Central. I go into the office 2-3 days per week but that is flexible otherwise I work remote from home. I would care for your pet around those work hours and during breaks. I would follow any instruction from you on how to care for your pet in your home including potty breaks, walks, and possible adventures for pups.

About: I have two cats of my own but I also have experience taking care of two active australian cattle dogs who love to run and play. They love to go to the dog park and run along the Hudson River with me. My active lifestyle will be the perfect match for dogs that need a lot of outdoor time and my personality is the perfect match for all dogs that want another human friend to cherish them. Even if your dog doesn’t like to go outside, I would love to stay in and cuddle with them. I honestly love dogs more than people and I can guarantee that I will take the absolute best care of your dog. Anywhere you need me to take them, I will go. And anything they need, I will provide. I work from home a few days a week and would love to clear my head with your dog! We would walk on my breaks and when I'm off of work. I do not offer care in my home as I already have 2 cats. However, for drop in visits, I will do my best to keep your pets happy and comfortable while you are away!
