Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog caretaker in Brooklyn!
What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to each pet. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know them rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. My background working in fast-paced news production has made me extremely organized, attentive to detail, and dependable—qualities I bring to pet care as well. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and keeping owners updated, because I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. I also have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and attention as well as older dogs who may need a slower pace and extra patience. Most importantly, I genuinely love spending time with animals and want every pet I care for to feel comfortable, loved, and at home with me.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for every pet as if they were my own and always make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I take the time to learn about each pet’s individual needs, including their feeding schedule, exercise routine, personality, and any specific instructions from their owner. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and always make sure pets are supervised and secure during walks, playtime, and outings. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and understand how important it is for owners to feel that both their pet and home are in good hands. I love keeping pets company, giving them plenty of attention and affection, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away.
Ratings and reviews
Ida was a great sitter for Lillie. Lillie is a shy nervous girl and Ida warmed up to her immediately. I’m actually using her again this week!! She is very reliable; was early and very sweet. Highly recommend.
Ida has a true love in her heart for animals. This is evident in her practical care for pets. She grew up with pets so her pet care repotoir is extensive. In the past, when Ida has cared for my pets, they are thrilled to see her and love spending time with her.
Ida is a natural caregiver and loves animals! She grew up with dogs and is very comfortable walking, navigating other dogs, and handling feeding. She is responsible and respectful of house and pet rules. I highly recommend Ida for all of your dog walking needs!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether that means morning or evening walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I make sure their care and routine are a priority. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’m happy to work with owners to maintain their usual schedule and accommodate their individual needs. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure I only take on bookings when I can give each pet the attention and care they deserve.

- Before caring for a pet, I like to know: * Their usual feeding, walking, bathroom, and sleep schedule * Their personality, energy level, and favorite activities * Whether they’re friendly with other dogs, cats, or pets * How they typically react to new people or unfamiliar environments * Whether they tend to run, escape, pull on the leash, or otherwise need extra supervision * Any fears, anxieties, triggers, or behavioral quirks * Any allergies, dietary restrictions, medications, or special care instructions * Their comfort level with being left alone * Their favorite toys, treats, and ways they like to be entertained * Anything that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and at home I always want to know as much as possible ahead of time so I can keep their routine consistent and make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for!
