“Emily jumped in last minute to help, was very understanding of my anxious dog, very helpful with my dog who needs medication and gave great detail with her updates.”


About: Why, hi! I’m a Yale graduate and current Columbia Law student looking to get my pet snuggle fix while making use of my flexible schedule. - Dogs: I’ve had family dogs my whole life, and I frequently watch my friends’ pups. - Cats: I grew up having, petsit for, and really adore cats. You can often find me sitting on NYC streets petting neighborhood dogs and trying to resist adopting all the cats I see. I will treat your fur baby like my own! After working for several years, I’m currently back in school as a law student. This means I’ll have time to play with, check in on, walk, feed, give belly rubs to etc. your pet on a somewhat flexible schedule. I live in an elevator building with grass, parks, and green space nearby. In your home, I’ll keep your pet comfortable while respecting your space.
“Ariel took excellent care of our little boy! He looked so happy in her presence. She is also an excellent communicator and clearly quite responsible. She kept us informed and reassured (it was one of our first times away). HIGHLY recommend!”

“This is my first time using any sort of pet sitting service so I was understandably a bit nervous about the idea of leaving my cat alone in a new apartment with a stranger checking in on them. Meredith made my anxiety go away as soon as we met and I saw the way she interacted with my cat. She is going to be my first stop any time I’m in need of pet care moving forward and she should be yours as well.”

“Adolfo was extremely considerate and helpful! Adolfo came to watch our cats on short notice during a holiday week. Adolfo made sure our cats were taken care of & ensured everything was set up so we’d have peace of mind!”

“Nyle is friendly, professional and took wonderful care of our 2 cats. Her daily cat photos she loaded to the app kept us laughing our whole trip and elimated all worry about leaving them. We will definitely book with her again.”


“Marine was fantastic. She handled two cats effortlessly and with little guidance from me! The cats were incredibly well taken care of and we will be using her again! Thanks Marine!!”

“Stephanie was wonderful with my Cooper; he loved her From the very beginning of the meet and greet - I know he could sense she’s a real animal lover. As far as we were concerned, she was professional and trustworthy. Came to the house on time and sent pictures of their little “play date”. Definitely a great find for pet owners”


About: Hi! I’m Elena, and I’ve never met a dog (or cat!) I didn’t like. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to oblige the unique (and at times pretty goofy) rules and rituals that make your pets feel safe and comfortable. The dogs I call family are a 3lb toy poodle who needs every meal pretend-microwaved and a hyper husky mix with a gymnast streak, so I absolutely get it! ⭐️ I have recent experience caring for and house training a puppy during his peak teething phase, so I’m familiar and comfortable with the routine, loads of patience, and constant vigilance that a puppy can require. My pup and I have also graduated from beginner and intermediate group training courses, covering important skills from sit/stay/down to heel/place/drop it and more. Years of caring for my own dogs and pet sitting for friends and neighbors has taught me that one of the most important parts of pet care is communication, both with people and pets. Animals have plenty to say in their own way if you take the time to listen, and I promise to listen to your pets’ needs as well as communicate openly with you throughout each visit. Whether you prefer a ton of photo updates or just a daily check-in, I’ll make it work! ⭐️ I’ve also volunteered with shelters and nonprofits to organize doggy day trips and help seniors with mobility challenges give their pets the active, fun-filled lives they deserve! I’ve worked with shy and reactive dogs, and I know how stressful a simple walk can sometimes be. I am here to bring empathy, patience, and lots of love to every interaction with the pets you call family! I’m currently working from home part-time, so I have plenty of availability for walks and sitting both during the week and on weekends. My schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work with you to set a time that fits your needs. I would love to take your pup for a walk or care for your pets in your home while you’re away. I don’t currently offer boarding in my home due to building restrictions. Before scheduling a sit, I would love to organize a meet-and-greet to get to know you and your pets!
“Mohammed was so pleasant and easy to work with and my cat was so relaxed when I arrived home, I knew she had been in good care. The photos he sent truly relieved my usual travel anxiety in leaving he as I could see she was doing just fine and being her usual self.”


About: I'm a pre-law student with a passion for history and reading! I grew up living with, training, and being responsible for dogs & cats, developing strong animal handling skills and patience. Whether your pet loves long, energetic walks or plenty of playtime and cuddles, I am happy to adapt to any vibe or situation! I am comfortable with most dogs, big or small, high/low energy, timid, etc. However, I am petite so 100+ lb dogs or extreme leash pullers are not for me. I am proficient in basic animal first aid and keep safety as my top priority. I am able to administer oral and topical medications. I love bonding with furry friends and I can't wait to treat yours like family! On Mondays and Wednesdays, I am generally available after 2:30 pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am available in the mornings until 1pm and again after 7 pm. Weekend schedules vary for me! I follow all owner guidelines including prompt arrival, exact feeding times, medication administration, etc. I will always keep your home tidy and bring in any packages or mail. I am happy to communicate as much or as little as wanted, and can send pics and updates accordingly!
About: I would spend summers taking care of my aunts dogs, and cats. I would help, feed, pet, and take care of the animals. I enjoy spending time with animals, I enjoy their company. I have time to take care of pets. I can take care of them in the morning, afternoon, or night as long as we coordinate before hand. I live next to a park so I can take them there for fun, and bathroom breaks. I make sure the dog is safe, the room I have the dog in is free of hazards. There are toys so that the animal can play. I also have a water bowl for when the pet gets thirsty.
“Aashree was great! She responded quickly to all of my messages, came to my home promptly for key pick-up and instructions, as well as on her visits. She sent great pictures of my critters - it was wonderful to see them were being well taken care of. Thank you!”

“Kristian did a wonderful job taking care of Tosca! He was incredibly reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond in helping care for her while I was away. Tosca is a young blind rescue kitten, so I was nervous about leaving her alone for the first time. But Kristian seemed to naturally win her over-- every photo update, she looked more and more comfortable and relaxed (and clearly ready for her mama to just stay gone for a while so she could hang out with her new bff, Kristian!) I'm grateful I found him to take care of her, and would absolutely recommend him to anyone! Thank you again for taking such good care of Tosca. ❤️”


About: I grew up with cats and later raised my own dog from 2 months old through age 11. I have also cared for feral/community cats, as well as chinchillas and hamsters over the years. Alongside pet care, I’m experienced with plant care—especially orchids—and attentive home care. As a writer and theater artist, I work with a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time writing, reading, and working quietly from home, which fits naturally with attentive pet and home care. I believe pets are happiest in familiar surroundings, so I focus on maintaining a calm, consistent, and safe environment in their home. I pay close attention to routines, instructions, feeding, plants, and household details, and I keep owners updated throughout their time away.
About: $0 fee cancellations. My extensive background in pet sitting speaks for itself, but what truly drives me is my deep connection and ability to bond with animals and animal groups. I believe this personal connection is what makes me an exceptional caregiver, and it’s the reason I’m so passionate about working with pets. All pets are different and I am accepting of all. Happy to provide emergency backup care for multiple clients at a time. Boarders feel comfy and make friends here. I can provide setup info before booking in case it’s what your pet needs. I have a wide open schedule. I wake up and get my pet ready for breakfast and I handle clean up around the same time. Throughout the day I engage with my pet. I have time and availability to do house visits or to walk your pet. I live in an apartment that is pet friendly. The windows are secure and the neighbors are pet lovers as well, so there is socializing and our 5 unit apartment building. The neighborhood here engages with pets on a regular basis
“Eileen took wonderful care of my 3 year old cat while I was away. She was responsible, communicative, and made sure my cat got lots of attention and pets. I also appreciated how clean and tidy she kept my apartment. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


About: I grew up with a puppy and have loved dogs my entire life. Anytime I see one on the street, I can’t help but stop and say hello! I have cared for all kinds of dogs from puppies to older dogs. No matter the size, age, or energy level, I ensure to keep them safe, entertained, and most importantly, loved! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of spare time during the day to give my full attention to the dog’s needs! I am great at following specific instructions within the home such as keeping the dogs off certain surfaces, sticking to their daily schedules, administering medications, etc.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Morningside Heights is $25

This is the second time Elizabeth has cared for my herd of cats. I’m so glad Pepper remembered her as he can be a bit of a scaredy cat. She went above and beyond cleaning around the litter boxes and gave them so much attention. I will continue to use Elizabeth if she is available when I travel.

We’ve been using Lisa’s cat-sitting services for more than two years now, and we couldn’t recommend her more. She’s dependable, caring, and always takes wonderful care of Peestryl. She also goes above and beyond with thoughtful little surprises that make us feel how much she cares. We’re so grateful to have found her and will continue booking with her whenever we need a sitter!

While I was away Mary took it upon herself to perform tasks above and beyond those that were agreed-upon (such as cleaning Oliver’s bowl and the feeding area). :-). Oliver looked so happy and content while being petted/brushed by Mary in her visit photos. Oliver and I look forward to booking Mary again for the next time that I’m out of town.

This is my first time using any sort of pet sitting service so I was understandably a bit nervous about the idea of leaving my cat alone in a new apartment with a stranger checking in on them. Meredith made my anxiety go away as soon as we met and I saw the way she interacted with my cat. She is going to be my first stop any time I’m in need of pet care moving forward and she should be yours as well.

We had a meet and greet before deciding, and Miko immediately vibed with Micaela, so we knew it was a yes! She sent detailed daily updates about his litter box, mood, eating habits, and even his food bowl. It was honestly amazing. I was away in LA, but her updates gave me so much peace of mind that I didn’t have to worry about Miko at all. She really paid attention to the little things not like others. Lowkey fire, would definitely book again (soonnnnn)

Mahlon was amazing. She always arrived around the same time every day. My fur babies were always so happy to see her. She always sent updates on any changes and left everything clean. It was nice coming home and not have to do much. Best sitter I have used and will be using again on future trips.

Having Yarden take care of our cat was the absolute best and most seamless experience. This was our first time working with Rover and we were anxious about how our very shy cat would do with a new face. Yarden went above and beyond to gain the trust of our cat with treats, lots of patience, and even offering to spend extra time with her so they could acclimate to each other. She managed to achieve the impossible and our girl was cuddling with her and treating her like family very early on. Her updates were thorough and we didn't worry at all while being away. Could not recommend her enough and we will definitely be asking her to take care of our girl in the future.
Mia did a phenomenal job taken care of my two kitties. Excellent communication, incredibly responsible, and followed the care instructions perfectly. Everything was perfect. Her love for animals is clear through her dedication to providing high quality care. Strongly recommended! Thank you Mia!
