Pet Sitting Morningside Heights

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!

“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.”

“We had a positive experience with Kayleigh when she checked in on our orange menace Winnie for a few days. 🐱 She did exactly what was asked of her, and asked clarifying questions to make sure everything was correct. We returned to him content and healthy. Appreciate her effort and would love to book again. Thank you! 🐾”

“Mary was amazing- she went above and beyond to follow some special instructions that I left for her to care for my pet. She was punctual and a great communicator and I got a very cute video of my baby at the end of the visit. She remembered to give the keys back to my doorman, which was great. Everything went super smoothly while I was away for a day. I came home to a well fed animal. Thank you so much, Mary!”

“Brittany was awesome!! It was the first time we used Rover with our pup Ollie and it was a great experience. She was very communicative during her two drop-in visits, including pictures and notes about how her visit with Ollie went which put us at ease. Even when she was running 5 minutes behind (no biggie!) she let us know - showing how much share cares about being prompt and timely which is appreciated. We came home to a very happy boy :) look forward to using Brittany again in the future and highly recommend for others!”

Jeanette C.

“I really can’t say enough good things about Meredith. She took such great care of our cat and was flexible and communicative throughout our time away. One of the best cat sitter experiences we’ve had!”

“Ryan was so amazing with Biggie, it was great to see Biggie adjust to Ryan even though he takes long to open up to strangers. It shows how good Ryan checked on him and took care of him”

Cindy P.

“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!”

About: Hi there! I'm so glad to meet you! As someone who has grown up surrounded by dogs and cats, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life...literally :) Through volunteering at animal rescues like the Humane Society of Calvert County, the Partnership for Animal Welfare, and A Home of Their Own, I’ve gained valuable experience in animal care. Whether walking, feeding, or simply spending quality time with pets of all sizes, I’ve learned that each animal has a unique personality—and they all thrive when they feel safe and loved. Feel free to share any specific details that will help me provide the best possible care for your furry family member. I’m committed to giving them plenty of exercise, attention, and affection, and I’ll be vigilant to ensure they’re safe and happy. I’m genuinely excited to take care of your cherished animal friend while you’re away! I have plenty of time to spend with your pet and keep them engaged or relaxed depending on when they're feeling! I also walk and transport dogs for the rescues I work for. Most days are flexible, but Saturdays are our big adoption events, and a wonderful chance to meet new dogs! For both house sitting and pet care, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment. I ensure the space is free of hazards, and we have access to necessary supplies like food, water, and toys. I follow the pet’s regular routines, including feeding, exercise, and bathroom breaks, to minimize stress. In the client’s home, I respect their space by maintaining cleanliness and providing regular updates on their pet’s well-being. In the event of emergencies, I am prepared to administer First Aid and bring them to the nearest vet. Feel free to provide any of the following information as I'm confident it will help me provide the best care to your beloved animal. Feeding Schedule: Please describe your pet's regular feeding routine, including meal times, portion sizes, and types of food. Are there any treats they love or dietary restrictions to follow? Medications and Health: Does your pet have any medications, supplements, or special health requirements? If so, please include specific instructions for each. Exercise and Playtime: What are your pet's favorite activities, toys, or games? How much exercise do they typically enjoy each day? Daily Routine: Are there specific times your pet is used to for activities like walks, meals, or play? Any daily rituals or routines they find comforting? Behavioral Cues and Preferences: Are there particular cues or signals your pet responds to? Any behaviors or personality traits a sitter should be mindful of (such as fears or favorite attention spots)? Emergency and Important Contacts: Please provide contact information for your primary veterinarian and any additional emergency contacts.

“While on vacation our young pup wouldn’t stop crying when she was left alone in our beach rental. Lauren was able to help watch her the very next morning. So responsive! So sweet! So punctual! I can’t say enough good things about Lauren!”

“Christina was great with our cat! She was communicative and punctual, and she did a great job keeping him happy and active while we were away.”

About: Hi I’m Sophia and I am happiest when I am surrounded by animals! I’ve had my dog Zeus for 6 years. He’s reactive so I’ve dedicated myself to learning everything I can about force-free reactivity training. He’s come a long way and I now feel comfortable and confident walking reactive dogs. I grew up with several dogs and rabbits and helped care for them into their senior years. I also have many friends with cats that I enjoy hanging out with. In high school, I volunteered at animal shelters and still love to help out and donate when I can. I treat every animal individually and love to get to know them slowly at their pace to make them feel comfortable and safe. I am a student so I have some flexibility in my schedule on Thursday and Friday’s. I am also almost always available on weekends for a variety of times. I am an extremely detail-oriented person. I’m ready to follow your instructions to the T and will likely ask several follow-up questions to ensure I understand everything 100%. I consider my dog to be my fur baby and will therefore treat your pet with the highest care and attention to ensure you and your pet feel comfortable and secure.

“My first time booking with a sitter for my two cats while taking a week long vacation. Ambroja went above and beyond to accommodate my girls and kept me updated every step of the way. So very thankful for her. Super professional, and I’ll definitely be booking 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!!”

Robert C.

“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!”

Anisah R.

“Ody was amazing! My dog has a little bit of stranger danger, but she warmed up to Ody super quickly. Ody was also very prompt with her drop in visits and you can tell that she is very knowledgeable about caring for dogs. Would 100% rebook with Ody and recommend her!”

Jenny Y.

“Kristina is the best! She truly provides such amazing care and you can tell how much she loves the pets she takes care of as bonds with them. I always feel safe when she is watches my senior cat, she does a great job with meds and duet, very attentive :)”
