About: Im kind and patient with the pets I take care of. I make sure that they’re getting the care they deserve. I also love to make pets happy, so i’ll make sure to play with the animals. I have tons of free time after class so I have time to spare to with pets. I can take long walks for dogs who need them and stay late watching pets. I watch them to make sure they aren’t putting themselves in danger. I make sure to feed them on time and that they’re drinking enough water.

Kristine did a great job taking care of our cat! He not only was well cared for but Kristine took the time to play with him and ensure he was happy while we were away. Thanks, Kristine!

I had a wonderful experience with Lori and would absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter! I booked her for the first time to take care of my 1yo kitten over a long weekend. Lori was very communicative and set up a meet-and-greet before the booking, which immediately made me feel comfortable. She is friendly, personable, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. She was punctual for every visit and did her best to send pictures and updates, even though my very shy boy spent most of the time hiding. My cat is not good with strangers (still being socialized), but Lori was patient and understanding, respected his boundaries, and followed all of my care instructions carefully. She truly went above and beyond by vacuuming his litter area and washing all of his dishes & serving spoons at the end of the weekend! I would definitely recommend Lori and will be coming to her the next time I need a sitter.

Jennifer is the *purrfect* kitty sitter! She recently cared for my two senior cats and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They liked her instantly, even if it took them a little time to fully come out of their shells—but by the end, they *loved* her! Jennifer clearly understands cats and knows how to build trust at their pace. She was reliable, communicative, and sent the sweetest photo updates while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind to know they were in such good hands. If you're looking for someone who will truly connect with your cats and care for them like her own, Jennifer is the one!

About: I have grew up with animals since I was in my mommy’s belly. I was always taught to treat animals the way we treat our kids, neighbors, family members etc… at the end of the day our pets are our family and I stand by treating your family the same way I would want mine to be treated. Animals have shown me the true meaning of love, empathy and loyalty and I hope to give what I learned back to every animal trusted in my care. I have owned a german shepherd so I know how to be stern but playful when needed and that body language matters and has a great impact on how animals act and it’s important to show our best for them :) I currently go to school for ultrasound, I attended school M-W-F from 8am- 5pm. For the most part I am free after school and on Tuesday and Thursday all day, I give as much time as I can to my pets and want to be able to do the same for other people’s pets while also being able to help pay for tuition. I understand that animals have a schedule and getting off schedule can mess up the flow of everything with them, I am planning to make sure I can integrate whatever they need into the schedule made for them to continue to make things work the way they need to.

About: Hello! I’ve been in the pet care industry for 3 years professionally, and almost my whole life personally through friends and family. I’m an animal lover, and I’m ready to meet some new friends! I used to service dogs in East Midtown and have experience with many breeds and temperaments. I also own cats and have worked professionally as a cat sitter in Chelsea/Downtown. I recently moved to the area and can offer walks, sittings, and boarding. We can set up a free meet and greet to see how we can work together to help your companion thrive. I work 10am through 6pm Monday-Friday for walks, extra charge for anything outside of that time frame and weekends/holidays. Inquire about sittings/boardings. Safety is always my priority when it comes to any sort of service. I follow any given instructions and communicate with the parents if I have any questions/concerns. I’m also CPR certified.

About: I’ve had welcomed my first pet ever when I was 10 years old , then in 2012 I’ve have welcome another fur baby to the family . Being around my own personal pets made me love doing dog sitting a lot more so starting in 2013 I’ve decided to volunteer and also become employed with the services of onboarding , dog walking , etc . I love doing my job when it comes to pets because I think of them as my own. I am currently working Monday - Friday but my schedule is also very flexible. I am free on the weekends if services are needed as well. When caring for your pets in your home or my home they are well taken care of between any medications, a routine that they follow I will make sure that while your away they will be left in great hands .

About: I originally started work at a dog daycare and transitioned to pet-care in 2023. I have two cats of my own; Lizzy and Thomas. Upon request, I can absolutely water plants and check mail if you need the extra help. I will jog with your dog! I'm able to do over-night stays and drop-ins. On my spare time, I enjoy exercising and cooking. My favorite things to make are chili and chocolate chip cookies! I lock doors and if I’m pet sitting, I take direct instructions from the owner. If I’m dog sitting- I always have double the amount of poop bags. My cell phone is always with me.

About: Hi, I’m Nia! 👋 I’m a dedicated pet owner to two pups of my own, so I understand exactly how important trust, routine, and communication are when someone else is caring for your furry family. Whether your pet needs a reliable walk, a calm companion, or consistent daily care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Pet Owner Experience I already manage daily schedules, walks, feeding, and training for my own dogs—so caring for yours comes with experience, patience, and genuine love. 📸 Clear Communication You’ll get real-time updates, photos, and quick messages so you always know how your pet is doing. ⏱️ Routine-Focused Care If your pet thrives on structure, you’re in the right place. I’ll follow your routine exactly—walks, meals, medications, and preferred routes. 🏡 Home-Respectful If I’m visiting your home, I take it seriously. I tidy up water bowls, bring in packages, wipe paws after walks, and keep your space secure. Availability ⏰ I offer walks and drop-in visits during the following hours: Weekdays: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM Weekends: 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM Requests outside of these hours may be accommodated on a case-by-case basis, depending on availability. I’m big on consistency. As a pet owner myself, I know how much animals rely on their routine, so I follow your pet’s schedule exactly. A typical visit includes: • On-time walks at their usual pace and preferred route • Feeding exactly how and when you specify • Fresh water and a quick tidy of their eating area • Playtime or enrichment based on your pet’s energy level • Bathroom breaks on a predictable schedule • Updates with photos after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing If your pet has special needs—medications, slow feeding, crate time, training cues—I’ll build that right into the routine. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I care for every pet like I care for my own two dogs—cautiously, attentively, and with respect for their space. Here’s how I keep your pet safe and comfortable: • No off-leash walking unless it’s in a secure, owner-approved area • Secure home entry and exit (doors locked, lights as instructed) • Paw wipes after walks when needed • Avoiding crowded or stressful areas for pets who are reactive or nervous • Following all house rules—furniture, crates, baby gates, food restrictions • Maintaining a calm atmosphere so your pet feels relaxed in their own environment If I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and can also bring in packages, water plants, or keep an eye on anything you’d like.

About: I own 2 dogs , they’re amazing I am great with dogs also with training , this is more of a hobby that I’m using as an advantage because it’s always a pleasure to pet sit ! I’m caring & very loving of all pets and will make sure your pet is happy while in my presence. I have a very unique admiration for pets and only a dog owner can actually dog -sit so who better for you than a sitter who already has pups ? I take pride in making a dog feel happy and welcomed and make sure they are getting there play time they deserve and put right back into the hands of there owner as safe and happy as was given.

Kristine has taken care of Meatball since 2023. She takes great care of my very clingy cat and makes this codependent cat mom feel much less anxious knowing he’s in good hands when I’m away. My mom has had health issues this year, and I’ve had to travel upstate often to help her. Kristine always does her best to accommodate my sometimes last-minute requests, which I truly appreciate.
