About: Hello! My name is Patty, and I’m a lifelong cat lover who truly enjoys caring for animals. I have two cats of my own, Sol and Luna, both two years old, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I’ve cared for them since they were kittens, and I’m comfortable working with cats of all ages, from playful little ones to more independent adults. Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I know that each one has their own unique personality and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to whatever makes your pet feel safest and happiest, whether that’s playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their routine. I’m currently a student at Columbia University, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-ins and house sitting. I’m also happy to help with small extras like watering plants while you’re away. I’m open to last-minute bookings whenever possible—just send me a message, and we can find a time that works! I’d love to help make your time away stress-free, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. I am a full time student at Columbia, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am specifically looking for opportunities to pet sit over the summer when I will have the most availability, allowing me to stop by as often as you would want me to. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to their routines, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, getting in plenty of playtime, or just providing calm companionship. I’m experienced with different personalities and energy levels, so I adapt to what each pet needs. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or extra patience I am here for it. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, as I grew up with dogs my entire life and currently own three cats. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have also provided dog and cat sitting services for family members and friends, helping with feeding, walking, playtime, and general care. My experience with animals has made me patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Adapting to their different special personalities, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I have a consistent work schedule from 10 AM to 6 PM Thursday through Monday, which allows me to maintain a reliable routine and plan pet care responsibilities effectively. I am available before and after work for feedings, walks, playtime, check-ins. I also have Tuesdays and Wednesdays fully open, giving me extra flexibility and availability to provide attentive and dependable care for pets. My home provides a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for cats. I currently have three cats and make sure they have plenty of space and entertainment, including one medium cat tree, one large cat tree, and a window perch where they can watch birds and squirrels throughout the day. Next to the perch is a basket full of toys to keep them active and engaged. I maintain four litter boxes that are cleaned three times daily to ensure a clean environment. While I’m at work, I leave cat TV on for extra stimulation and comfort. Each morning before work and again in the evening, I feed my cats wet food and refresh their water. While also occasionally refilling an automatic dry food feeder as needed so they always have access to food.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have real hands on experience with animals of different ages, from young energetic dogs to seniors who need a slower, more attentive pace. I'm comfortable reading dog behavior and adjusting how I interact based on what each individual animal needs. Beyond experience, I genuinely enjoy it. This isn't a side job I'm indifferent to. I'm a nutrition science student which means I'm detail oriented and take health and wellness seriously, for people and animals. I notice things, I communicate well, and I show up the same way every time. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I'm genuinely a dog person, not just someone who works with animals. This summer I'm based in Harlem full-time, so I'm available for walks, drop ins, and sitting throughout the day. I keep a consistent schedule and I'm flexible with timing; mornings, afternoons, and evenings all work. Dogs get my full attention, not a rushed visit. I treat every home I'm in with real respect. I keep things tidy, stick to the routines the owner sets, and make sure pets feel settled and safe rather than anxious. I'm experienced with dogs of different ages and temperaments, and I pay attention to their individual cues rather than applying a one size fits all approach. If something comes up like behavior, health, or anything unexpected, I communicate right away. Owners shouldn't have to wonder how their pet is doing.

He was always happy when I came home and for that, I am grateful. I highly recommend Amanda as she is trustworthy and professional.

About: Hi I’m Kate, and I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 or 8 in my hometown, Baltimore, MD. I have experience in caring for elderly dogs, walking dogs in urban areas, socializing dogs at dog parks, and walking young energetic dogs! I’m in college in New York at Barnard on the UWS but I have a dog back home named Lucy who’s a chow-retriever rescue mix. I’m doing hybrid work this summer and in person work daily from 1-5pm, but can walk dogs before or after that! I am available and around on weekends as well. I am a college student so I cannot offer boarding services, but depending on where the owner is located I love walking dogs through Central Park, or any nearby park, as I love nature and the dogs always love it too (FYI I’m an environmental science and human rights major!)

We love Hannah! She is so kind and patient with our dog. We have a larger (60lbs) dog who has reactive tendencies. Hannah is incredible with her and very knowledgeable about reactive dogs in general. Our girl is obsessed with Hannah. She gets so excited every time she comes and is always in a good mood after. I’d recommend her to anyone.

Ashley is the best dog sitter! My Pitbull is a rescue and can be reactive and Ashley is so great with her. Very careful and aware on walks and follows all the detailed feeding instructions for her allergies. Before my cat passed, Ashley used to stay over and cat-sit for us as well. Very trustworthy and always kept us informed with texts and pictures. To top it off my animals are obsessed with her, Ashley is a true animal lover. I don’t know what I’d do without her!
