About: Some dog training experience. Able to administer oral medications. Reliable. Responsible. Reeourceful. Always eager to learn. Trustworthy. Your pet's needs are always top priority to me! As I am retiring as a Healthcare professional, I am ready to give my new pet care services top priority! You and your pet to receive A1 service. As the services I am providing at the present time are based on your place of residence, dog walking and home drop in visits, your pet will always have the safety and comforts of the familiar.

About: I care for dogs with real love and intention. My energy is calm, grounded, and high-vibrational, and dogs feel that. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I pay attention to each dog’s personality. Some need to run and play, some just want to chill—and I’m good with both. I’m patient, present, and I don’t rush them or ignore what they need. I’m also active, so I can keep up with high-energy dogs, but I’m just as good at giving calm, steady companionship. Your dog won’t just be watched with me—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine. I do this part-time, so I have the flexibility to really be present and give each dog proper attention. I’m reliable with my schedule and make sure the dogs I care for get my time, energy, and consistency. When I’m in a client’s home, I stick to the dog’s normal routine so they feel at ease. I follow any instructions given and make sure everything stays consistent for them. I’ll take them on walks, play with them, or just relax and give them attention—whatever they need in that moment. I also respect the home and keep things clean and calm.

About: My experience with animals goes beyond just having pets of my own! I’ve raised my cat, Khloe, since she was a newborn, cared for my boyfriend’s senior dog Gizmo (RIP), and even helped care for a family member’s puppy (Romeo) who was sick with a UTI. That meant keeping up with more frequent walks and giving the puppy extra attention throughout the week. I’ve also managed to keep three carnival goldfish (Darwin, Sayuri, and Mohawk) happy and healthy for over two years! From young pets who need supervision to senior pets who may need a gentler hand, I’ve learned every animal has different needs, but deserve the same patience consistency and love. I’m also a photographer and artist, so I LOVE catching those goofy moments that fill every pet owners phone gallery. If your pet becomes my buddy, don’t be surprised if you get an entire complimentary photo shoot! I will also be happy to clean your fur baby afterwards (yuck nyc floors) and provide poop bags, toys, treats, etc if needed! OVERNIGHT PET SITTING HOURS ARE: 7PM-8AM. DOGGY DAY CARE - ONLY IN OWNERS HOME! If you require constant care during extended stays, (I can’t leave your home for any period of time) please let me know. I’m currently in college full time. We can work together to find the best schedule 🐾 my priority is making sure the fur baby is safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the usual feeding, walking, playtime, and rest routines as closely as possible. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep your pet areas cleaner than you left them, and make sure they have fresh food and water.

“Onece again Angelique did an amazing job. She gives such great care to our ladies and makes sure to not just feed them but to spend time with them, brush them and give them personal attention! Highly recommended!”

“Ariana was a fantastic sitter for our babies! She came on time or even a little early and got fantastic photos and updates of the kitties and ratties. And yes, she took care of our little rodent friends, making sure they had food while we were gone for a long weekend. Would definitely recommend Ariana and would love for her to sit for us again in the future!”

About: I’ve always been the type of person who gets excited whenever I see a dog or cat! Over the past 2 years, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know each one. Some are super playful and affectionate, while others need a little more time to warm up. I never like to rush them and always let them come to me when they’re ready. I’m naturally patient, caring, and love making animals feel comfortable around me. Whether we’re running around playing or just relaxing together, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and treating them like they’re my own. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your furry babies! My schedule is pretty flexible throughout the week, aside from Monday and Thursday mornings. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I have lots of time to give them the love and attention they deserve! I know being in a new environment can be overwhelming for pets, so I always give them time and space to get comfortable. I let them explore at their own pace while making sure they’re safe and supervised. I also try to stick to their usual routines so they feel as relaxed and at home as possible.

About: I had plenty of pets growing up and I take full responsibility for pets. I will care for your pets as they were family 👪 My schedule is pretty flexible and I would work around your schedule for your convenience. Let me know how I can help you 😌 ☺ I listen more than I speak. I fully understand that they're more than pet's, they're a part of the family and I fully understand that

About: I've been around animals and taken care of pets my whole life. I am here for whatever your pet's needs are. Experience with puppies to senior dogs. I am working FT, so I am available Mon - Fri in the early mornings (6 am) evenings (after 5 pm) and anytime on the weekends. I am flexible with whatever you need me to do for your pet, whether it be daily walks (time specification by owner), specific playtime or feedings, simple medications.

“Fallon was a fantastic cat sitter for our cat, Yuki. She was professional and flexible, accepting our last-minute request and handling a slight mix-up we caused with ease. She sent us daily photo updates, which made us feel completely at ease during our two-week vacation. We came home to a happy cat and highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m Kris — a lifelong animal lover, experienced caregiver, and proud pet parent myself. After years working professionally as a nanny and preschool teacher, I understand how important trust, patience, and reliability are when caring for someone you love. I share my home with my rescue cat, Cosmo, who found me as a sick stray and quickly became the tiny king of the household. I have also been a shelter volunteer for many years, so I'm good with rescues and seniors. I’d love to help local families with dependable walks, check-ins, and companionship for their pets. Whether your pet loves a long stroll, a little extra playtime, or just a friendly face while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and appreciated. I believe every pet has their own personality (and usually very strong opinions!), and I love getting to know what makes each one special. I work at a restaurant in the evenings, but I'm looking forward to dedicating my mornings/ early afternoons to caring for YOUR fur baby! I'm also available weekends and most holidays. When caring for pets, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I'm detail-oriented and will always follow an owner's care instructions carefully. I understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home. My years working as a nanny and preschool teacher taught me the importance of reliability, clear communication, and caring for someone’s family member exactly the way their family would want. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes so you know your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away!

About: I have taken care of pets from dogs and cats to parrots and Guinea pigs. I am always respectful of the owners wants and the pets needs. I am a senior in college and have most of my classes later in the day which leaves me time in the morning and early afternoons. I have a fenced in yard as well as always ok to buy a pets favorite treats and create a safe space for them to enjoy.

“Outstanding sitter! Great communication and lots of updates! We can tell our sweet kitty was in great hands while we were away and will use Michelle again in the future!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, and over the years, taking care of animals has become something I genuinely love. My family and friends have always trusted me to care for their pups while they travel, and I treat every dog like they’re family. Whether it’s going on a long walk, playing a good game of fetch, or simply spending time with them, I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby at home while you’re at work, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re gone—with plenty of love, playtime, and updates along the way. 🐶💗 Your pup won’t just be “staying” with me—they’ll be getting a little vacation of their own! 🐾 I work fully remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to offer dog walks throughout the day, as well as on weekends. I love having the opportunity to step away from my workday, get some fresh air, and spend time with a furry friend! I’m able to be flexible with walk times and can work with your schedule and your pup’s routine. I’ll always treat your pup with the same care and attention I would give my own. During walks, I focus on making sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention while keeping them safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow your instructions regarding their routine, walking preferences, leash habits, and any other needs. My goal is for your dog to have a fun, safe, and stress-free experience—and for you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾💕

About: I’ve been working and taking care of dogs professional for 5 years now. I’m a former veterinarian assistant and have a pitbull myself whose is 13 years old now. I also love to help people out with their pets. I currently work Wednesday through Friday and I work Sundays as well. I’m Available Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. I’m available anytime of the day. Thank you I live in an apartment building, I can make a nice personal space in my home for your fur-baby. I also live near a nice park so I can take them out and play.

About: I've spent the past two years in the dog care industry, working for an all-natural dog food company where I learned firsthand how nutrition, routine, and attentive care shape a dog's health and happiness. That experience taught me to pay close attention to the small things — appetite changes, energy levels, individual quirks — that make every dog unique. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and my own Yorkie is my best friend. Caring for her has taught me just how much patient, loving, attentive care matters, and it's exactly what I want to bring to every dog I look after. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding, and I treat every dog in my care the way I'd want mine treated: with patience, consistency, and a lot of affection. Whether it's a quick walk, a weekend of boarding, or holding down the fort while you're away, I'll send photos and updates so you always know your pup is safe, comfortable, and loved. I am self-employed annd work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I take my dog on a long walk in Van Cortlandt in the morning and then usually do two more shorter walks throughout the day. I am happy to try to accommodate your schedule the best I can. I live in a pet friendly apartment in Riverdale that is right next to multiple parks. If I ever have to leave a dog in home by themselves I will always make sure calming music is playing, the place is at a comfortable temperature, and there is light.

About: I’ve always loved animals, especially cats! I have a cat of my own and have spent years caring for pets. I’ve dog-sat for many of my friends, including caring for their dogs for stays lasting several weeks or even months. I also volunteered at a cat shelter for a year, where I cared for and spent time with many different cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, giving pets attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and would love to take care of yours! I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and longer stays, and I’m happy to discuss specific dates and times with each pet parent. I’m also comfortable caring for pets for extended periods when needed. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and personality and will follow their owner’s instructions closely. I have experience caring for dogs in their homes and my own cat, as well as caring for many cats while volunteering at a shelter. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, food, and care.

About: Senior pets are my specialty. I’m a pet mom to a 16 year old diabetic senior kitty who is my world. He receives insulin twice a day so I have experience administering injections. This isn’t just a gig for me, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m attentive, patient, and I truly take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I keep pet parents at ease by providing updated as well as maintaining open and honest communication so you’ll never have to worry about what your pet is doing. I’m currently working part time from home and have plenty of time to dedicate. My schedule is very flexible and open to same day bookings. My cats follow the same daily routine. They eat soft food twice a day and receive medications twice a day. I have 2 friendly cats whom have grown up around dogs their whole lives. I have also fostered 2 cats for a year.

“Shalyse is fantastic. She checked in our cats while we were away, and she is extremely kind, professional, responsive, communicative and thorough. She was also very flexible and accommodating when a change of plans required us to modify our booking. We will definitely request her to watch our cats again and will highly recommend her to our friends. Thank you Shalyse!”
