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.”

“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!”

“Monique did a wonderful job checking in on and feeding our cat for a long weekend while we were away. It was our first time leaving him so we were a bit nervous, and Monique really came through for us (at the last minute as well!). She is warm and communicative, and most importantly our cat seems to love her.”

Nathan V.

“Brittney was super communicative, attentive, and perfectly carried out everything asked of her! She was able to come by for a house visit on short notice as well which was appreciated. Hugo enjoyed her visit and looks forward to the next one!”

“Outstanding cat sitter. During a long trip I was on, Ryan sent me photos, videos, and reports that made me feel reassured that my cat was okay and warmed my heart. He played with him and took care of everything on the list. Highly recommend.”

Eric G.

“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: 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.

“This is now the second time we hired Meredith to come watch our son and she once again was amazing! Great communication about arrivals and departures, very detailed accounts of the visits she had, and wonderful pictures of our boy! Our cat has grown to love Meredith so much that I’m sure he’ll be disappointed to see us! If you get the chance to work with Meredith, don’t pass it up! A++++++++!”

If you have any routines or schedules, I’m more than happy to follow your pet’s routine, including walks, playtime, feeding, and giving them plenty of attention. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m dependable, punctual, and will work around your pet’s routine and needs.

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.

“Christina was extremely reliable while we were out of town for the weekend. She made sure my cat was safe and well taken care of. When our flight home was canceled, Christina stepped up and extended her visits for extra days without hesitation. She really worked with us on scheduling and kept us continuously updated. We’re so grateful she was around!”

“Kristina did an amazing job with our kitties as always. They love her and she takes such great care of them, and we love getting her updates and photos!”

“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 S.

“Ambroja is a fantastic sitter - she jumped in on short notice to care for my cat Birdie when I had to travel for work. She is communicative and goes above and beyond in her sitting duties. I knew Birdie was in good hands with her!”

Alicia V.

“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.

“Booked her last minute for a drop in and she was amazing! Followed all directions to a T. Next time I’ll be sure to book her in advance. Thank you!”

Sidra S.

“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 did a fantastic job watching my two cats. My older cat, Orion, made the task of giving him his medication very difficult. She was patient and flexible the entire time, and I came home to two very well cared for kitties.”
