An excellent experience. We have never felt comfortable having anyone come to the house but Khrys has been amazing, thorough and most importantly was sweet to our cats. I could not recommend her enough.

About: Hi, I’m Sindi, the person dogs run up to at the park like we’ve been best friends forever. 🐶💕 I’ve taken care of pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I love figuring out what makes each one happiest. Whether it’s zoomie walks, belly rub marathons, or slow strolls with seniors, I’m here to make tails wag and owners feel at ease. Your pets aren’t just animals to me, they’re family, and I’ll treat them like my own. I’m available all day on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, with plenty of time to give your pets attention and care. From Thursday through Sunday, I’m available in the mornings for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I always follow your instructions carefully, keeping feeding schedules, walks, and routines consistent. I’m also patient and gentle with shy or anxious pets, giving them the space and time they need to feel comfortable. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels secure, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a teenager, having family pets growing up and also including watching neighbors’ dogs as well as friends and family members pets over the years. Animals have always warmed up to me immediately, even when described as shy or unfriendly. I work full time but my position has me mobile and traveling to different locations around Long Island throughout the day. This allows me to make stops during the midday for walks. I will also be able to pet sit over night and weekends. I care for all pets as if they were my own. Beyond providing walks and feeding your pet they will also receive attention and affection as well. Along with the utmost care to be aware of drivers and other dogs during walks and to secure any property during overnight visits.

About: I have decades of experience caring for pets, mostly my own. I grew up in a house full of dogs and have maintained that my whole life. Also had a great cat, hamsters and other pets. I believe animals deserve the best care possible as our “best friends” and beloved family members. I have extensive experience too in customer service and am highly solution-oriented. If you need me in a moments notice, always happy to do it if available. I have many years of experience also serving on boards at various animal shelters as well as volunteering to walk/care for dogs and cats and these locations. Even ran the NYC marathon as a top fundraiser for the ASCPA. My priorities in order are: god, pets, then people. Think I’ve got that in good order! 🥰 Currently between full time jobs and looking for a change of pace as well as to build a business that can extend into charitable resources beyond my income to help animals in need. I will follow your instructions exactly as detailed as well as use my years of experience should something occur or I notice a need/potential issue. My goal is to make the visit as enriching for your pet as possible. I think they sense that on me as animals tend to gravitate toward me, even the most shy and skittish. We live a nice life but my dogs probably even better than I. I provide them with superior care and lots of love. Animals are very perceptive and so I work to extend that same level of connection to all animals I meet, which would include yours if you select me for your pet care needs. Thank you!

About: Choosing the right pet sitter is a decision that requires careful consideration, as your furry, scaly, or feathered friends deserve nothing but the best care. With years of hands-on experience in the veterinary field, including working alongside veterinarians and vet technicians for the past three years, I bring a unique and knowledgeable approach to pet sitting. Currently furthering my education to become a farm animal veterinarian, my passion for animals extends beyond just cats and dogs; I have experience caring for a wide range of creatures, from reptiles to goats. My background as a veterinary assistant equips me with the skills to provide exceptional care tailored to your pet's specific needs. I understand the importance of proper husbandry and can administer medications, monitor vital signs, and recognize early signs of illness or distress. Whether your pet has special medical needs, I am confident in my ability to manage their care effectively and ensure their well-being. Your pet's health and happiness are my top priorities, and I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for them while you're away. By entrusting me with your pet's care, you're not just hiring a pet sitter; you're gaining a dedicated advocate who will treat your beloved companion as if they were my own. I approach each pet sitting assignment with genuine love, compassion, and a commitment to providing personalized attention. From playtime and exercise to cuddles and comfort, I will go above and beyond to ensure your pet feels secure, loved, and happy in my care. Choose me, and experience the peace of mind that comes with knowing your pet is in the best possible hands. As a pre-veterinary student deeply immersed in the world of animal care, incorporating pet care into my daily routine feels not just natural, but essential. My academic pursuits and hands-on experiences seamlessly intertwine, creating a synergistic relationship that enriches both my understanding of veterinary medicine and my ability to provide compassionate care for animals. Balancing my studies with volunteer work at local animal hospitals has provided invaluable insights into the practical aspects of pet care. From assisting with routine check-ups to observing complex surgical procedures, I've gained a firsthand understanding of the diverse needs of animals and the importance of proactive healthcare. These experiences have reinforced my commitment to pursuing a career in veterinary medicine and have instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility for the well-being of every animal under my care. Moreover, the flexibility of my schedule as a student allows me to dedicate ample time to pet care responsibilities. Whether it's providing daily walks, administering medications, or simply offering companionship, I'm able to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each animal. By seamlessly integrating pet care into my daily routine, I not only fulfill my responsibilities as a caregiver but also gain invaluable experience that will undoubtedly serve me well in my future career as a veterinarian. With a bustling menagerie of six beloved pets, my days are filled with a symphony of purrs, squeaks, and happy barks! From the tiniest hermit crab to my loyal canine companion, each member of my furry (and not-so-furry) family receives an abundance of love and personalized care. My two hermit crabs, Steve and Mantis, reside in a carefully curated habitat, complete with climbing structures, hiding spots, and a variety of shells to choose from. I ensure their environment is always clean and humid, providing them with a balanced diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, and commercial crab food. Meanwhile, my guinea pigs, Twix and Peppa, enjoy spacious accommodations filled with cozy hideaways, chew toys, and plenty of fresh hay. Daily cuddle sessions and regular cage cleanings ensure their happiness and well-being. Of course, no discussion of my pets would be complete without mentioning my feline companion, Opal, and my faithful dog, Babii. Opal, a sleek and sophisticated tabby, receives endless head scratches, engaging playtime sessions, and a constant supply of premium catnip. As for Babii, my beloved dog, she’s been my loyal sidekick since I was just 10 years old. From playful romps in the park to comforting cuddles on the couch, our bond is unbreakable, and I cherish every moment we spend together.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my entire life. I have my own dog whom I have trained and take care of. I have worked for Camp Bow Wow where I took care of dogs of all sizes. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my day to include regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, and check-ins to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it's early morning walks or evening cuddles, I make sure their needs come first. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special instructions like medications or training cues. I keep their space clean and safe, and I always give updates with photos and messages for peace of mind. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort.

About: Since grade school I have been taking care of my families animals. I have experience with puppies and kittens. In the past I have been done extended pet sitting for weeks at a time. My girlfriend and I currently have two young cats (Bob & Paolo). I am excited to match your fur babies energy whether that’s going on long walks or being couch potato’s together. You tell me! My girlfriend and I have recently moved to New York from Wichita, KS so she can finish up med school. Leaving my previous job behind I am currently available for what works for you! From previous pet sittings I am used to giving medication, adding raw food to kibble, & going on long walks. I took care of my sisters prehistoric 14 year old Frenchie who was very high maintenance. Just let me know what your fur baby needs!

About: I’ve been dog sitting and walking since I’m 10. I have two of my own dogs and have had many rodents and have cared for cats and birds. I can provide in your home pet sitting/ house sitting, where I can play and care for your pet while you’re away making sure they are getting plenty of attention. I walk dogs and make sure they get the exercise they need. I can dog walk daily. I have experience with rescues and troubled dogs as well, I am an armature trainer. I have taken animal behavior classes and learned training methods of sea mammals at an aquarium which transfers well. I am not a certified groomer but I am very comfortable providing bathes for dogs. I have always loved animals which is why I am studying pre-veterinary medicine at the University of Delaware. I am very flexible and can turn on a dime need be. You can be assured I will care and love your furry friend like I love mine. I am going to be working in a lab during the day but am available weekends and after lab (hours TBD). This would allow me to do drop in and home stays for dogs that are used to be home during the work day I follow the instructions provided by the owner. If the prefer crate training that works and if they despise it that’s also fine. The owner knows their pet and I will respect that.

I had a wonderful experience with Julia caring for my dogs and cat while I was away. From the start, she was extremely punctual and professional. She even took the time to visit beforehand to learn exactly where everything was,like the food, water bowls, and cat litter showing how committed she was to making sure everything would be perfect. During her time with my pets, Julia stayed in great communication, sending me regular updates and the cutest photos that really put my mind at ease. It was clear she genuinely cared about my animals and took her responsibility seriously. I highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond!

Simone is incredible with all animals, but especially dogs. I worked with her at a grooming salon and every dog she worked with had a special bond with her and even when the dog was nervous, he/she would ALWAYS run right to Simone. She has so much experience working with all kinds of dogs of all ages and even has lots of experience with special needs animals. I would trust her to watch my dogs any day. She is incredibly kind, patient and has so much knowledge about dogs and their behavior .

I cannot recommend Sindi highly enough as a dog sitter. She has a natural gift for connecting with animals and dogs instantly feel at ease with her warm, gentle, and loving nature. I’ve seen her care for pups of all sizes and personalities, and she always treats them like family. What truly sets Sindi apart is her reliability and genuine devotion. She understands how important our pets are to us, and she takes that responsibility seriously. From following routines to making sure dogs get plenty of playtime and affection, she goes above and beyond to keep them happy and comfortable. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, and will care for your dog as if they were her own, Sindi is the perfect choice. With her, you’ll have complete peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in the best hands.

Daily cuddle sessions and regular cage cleanings ensure their happiness and well-being. Of course, no discussion of my pets would be complete without mentioning my feline companion, Opal, and my faithful dog, Babii. Opal, a sleek and sophisticated tabby, receives endless head scratches, engaging playtime sessions, and a constant supply of premium catnip. As for Babii, my beloved dog, she’s been my loyal sidekick since I was just 10 years old. From playful romps in the park to comforting cuddles on the couch, our bond is unbreakable, and I cherish every moment we spend together.

Sara was great with our little puppy. He loved having her come play with him while we were out of the house. Very easy to work with and respectful of our home. Followed our instructions and our puppy looks forward to her visiting again!

The only person who can get my dog excited for a walk. A friend recommended him to me and I would definitely recommend him as well. Is nice and charges a reasonable amount of money.

Emily sent me photo updates and took great care of my kitties. It’s always stressful to leave them behind when I travel, but having her there took away that anxiety! :) Came back to happy kitties and my apartment was as clean if not cleaner than I left it.

Matthew has been taking my 2 dogs on walks and checking in on my cat for awhile now. I'm always happy with his service and know my pets are well taken care of. My cat's litter is always clean, food prepared and bowl subsequently cleaned (my cat eats fast), and seems like she got good social time. My dogs energy levels are calm when i get back from trips/work. Truly satisfied with his care and I'd recommend him to anyone!

I had a wonderful experience with Julia caring for my dogs and cat while I was away. From the start, she was extremely punctual and professional. She even took the time to visit beforehand to learn exactly where everything was,like the food, water bowls, and cat litter showing how committed she was to making sure everything would be perfect. During her time with my pets, Julia stayed in great communication, sending me regular updates and the cutest photos that really put my mind at ease. It was clear she genuinely cared about my animals and took her responsibility seriously. I highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond!
