“Jacqueline was amazing! She was so easy to get in touch with, super communicative, and was right on time for the drop-in. She sent pictures and videos playing with my cat. She has a clear love for animals and treated my cat with kindness. Will definitely book again!!”
About: I am a med student student who loves animals. I have been dog-sitting since I was a freshman in high school. I started off caring for an elderly dog who had a difficult time walking. I have also worked with a dog who had a limp due to an injured leg and needed to be given medication on time. With each time I sit, I give a summary at the end so that you can also know what your furry friend has been up to. Along with all the dogs I have worked with I also own an adopted dog. My family and I adopted him in my sophomore year of high school. He has taught me to be very patient and aware of his needs. I enjoy baking peanut butter cookies to feed him and have baked them for other clients. I am a great sitter because I will care for your dog as if it is my own. I will attend to his or her every need along with baking him/her treats. Something I can provide that others may not be able to provide is long walks along the National Mall. I am a dancer and enjoy going for runs. If a dog is able to, I would love to go for a run with him or her. I am a good sitter because I provide care that exceeds one's expectations. I have school for 2 hours on most days. Therefore pet care fits into my schedule easily. I enjoy going on walks which provide the perfect exercise for dogs. I also like baking and I tend to bake treats for my pets. I don't have a fence, however, I am at my desk when I am working. So I will be able to provide constant company to your pet. I love to go on walks and will take the pet as often as they need. I do not have my own yard, however, I do have a small fenced-in area I can take the dog for play time.
“Samantha and Jerry were fantastic. Zara, our cat, was happy and well cared for when we came home. We got great pictures of her being brushed, eating, and drinking throughout their visits. Would 100% recommend.”
About: We have had many dogs throughout our life. Right now we currently have 2 small Havanese dogs - Daisy and Luna. We have two children, 14 and 12, and both dogs get along with all children and other dogs as well. We will take care of your dogs as though they are one of our own! We do take on more than one dog at a time, but never more than 2 (so including my own dogs, never more than 4 total). We have a fully fenced in yard where they love to run around and play. We live in a great neighborhood where we can go on long walks. We have two size crates should your dog require one. We look forward to spending time with your pet/s! I currently work full time as a teacher but am home by 2:30 and am able to come home during lunch breaks to let dogs out and walk them. My husband is home all day- so they always have company! My two dogs love other dogs so they will always have someone to play with.

My two dogs love other dogs so they will always have someone to play with. Our yard is fully fenced so your dog will be able to run around outside off leash. We also love to go on walks as well. I have a small crate and a medium size crate if your dog needs to be crated.
“Michelle was a wonderful guardian for Asher while we were away on vacation. Her videos and photos gave us a lot of reassurance for our first time leaving him home over an extended period. We are so appreciative of all the work she puts in!”
“Diane walked our 10 year old Husky for the first time today. He’s 80lbs of fluff and we knew he was well taken care of when we came home to his happy calm state. Seeing the photos made us feel comfortable that he was in the best of hands. We look forward to having Diane walk Bruno once again.”
About: I have years of experience caring for animals of all sizes. I owned a Husky for 2 years, so I am very comfortable with high-energy pets, but I enjoy walking dogs of every breed. My background working with horses has taught me patience and how to keep every animal safe and calm. I am a very serious and punctual person who lives locally in Floral Park I have a very flexible schedule and I am available throughout the week. Since I am used to early mornings, I can accommodate walks or visits as early as 6:00 AM. I am dedicated to pet care full-time right now, which means your pet will be my top priority and I can easily adjust to the times that work best for you and your dog's routine. Safety is my number one priority. When I am in a client's home, I make sure the environment is secure before and after the visit. My experience with large animals has taught me to always be aware of my surroundings and the pet's behavior. I am very respectful of your space, I always double-check locks and gates, and I make sure your pet is calm and has fresh water before I leave.
“Lisa was great, communicative and gave my lovey cats love while we were away. She even brought a few toys for them. I’ll definitely use her again”
About: Pet care experience Hi there! While I may not have a dog of my own, I've had the joy of caring for a dear French bulldog annually for almost two weeks each year. I adore playing with my sister's dogs and live in a cozy home filled with the laughter of my three dog-loving kids. I'm always available to walk, cuddle, and shower your furry friend with love and attention. Your fur baby will be in excellent hands with me! I'll treat them with the same love, care, and attention that I've given to countless other dogs. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities. Let me be your dog's caregiver, and they'll receive all the cuddles, playtime, and care they need. Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐶💕 Welcome! Our family consists of myself, my husband, and our three wonderful kids. Though I never had a dog, my love for animals is evident through my adorable rabbit named Kruger. Nestled in a house with a spacious yard on a tranquil street, I offer a peaceful environment for your furry friend. I work from home on Fridays and have weekends off. I'm back home by 3 PM every day, ensuring your pet is surrounded by care and attention. Living on a serene and quiet street with minimal traffic, I provide an ideal haven for your beloved dog. My spacious yard offers ample room for them to play, explore, and stretch their legs. With a peaceful environment and plenty of outdoor space, your pup will receive the utmost care, attention, and room to roam freely in a secure and comforting setting. I can easily crate your dog if needed (and provided)
About: What truly sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience as a devoted pet parent — especially with senior dogs and emotionally sensitive pets. I cared for my beloved senior dog Rocki for 14 years, supporting him through every stage of life, including the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness senior dogs need. Today, I share my life with my dog River and also help care for my partner’s 16-year-old senior dog, so I am very comfortable with senior care, slower mobility, routine-based needs, and gentle handling. I’m highly attentive to body language, emotional comfort, and stress signals, which helps me support anxious, sensitive, or aging dogs in a calm and reassuring way. My home provides a safe, structured, and loving environment where dogs can feel secure and relaxed. I’m also patient and consistent with younger dogs, helping reinforce routines, calm behavior, and positive habits through gentle guidance and structure. Every dog in my care is treated like family with safety, emotional awareness, patience, and genuine love. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I structure my days around consistent walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and calm rest periods for my own dog, River, as well as my partner’s senior dog. Because caring for animals is already part of my everyday routine, I’m able to provide dependable, attentive, and structured care for pets staying with me. I prioritize supervision, emotional comfort, and routine so every dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family in a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each dog’s normal routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of rest and comfort. I pay close attention to body language, emotional needs, and stress signals to ensure every dog feels secure and relaxed. My home includes a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, cozy indoor rest areas, and close supervision throughout the day. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s established routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide gentle, attentive care, ensure safety, and send regular updates with photos so pet parents always feel reassured while they’re away.
“Peggy was wonderful I will definitely be calling her again. She took great care of my dogs my dogs really loved her. Peggy really went above and beyond for my dogs. Great service and wonderful person.”
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting for my friends for the past 3 years. I’m looking to expand my horizons and make new furry friends along the way :) My schedule varies a bit because I’m currently in med school, but on any of my days off, I’d love to spend time with some fur buddies! I’m a huge lover of animals. I’ll follow all the directions you have set for your pet’s care, and go the extra mile to keep them feeling happy.
“Samantha was so great with Ofelia. I have a moody cat and she was so patient and sweet to her. She would be on time every visit and send me pictures every single time. Quick to respond and super responsable. She even went above and beyond on many other things. Can’t recommend her enough 🫶🏼🐱”
“WOW WOW WOW JASPER FUREVER!!! My apartment looked amazing when I came back, no messes anywhere! I can tell Jasper took really good care of my two cats and I will be using Jasper exclusively to cat sit from here on out! Thank you so much!!!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and I could not imagine my life if i did not have a dog in it, I also have experience pet sitting and dog walking for other dogs besides my own. I am a college student looking for an enjoyable way to make some money while getting to spend time with some adorable dogs in my free time. I know first hand how important it is that your pet is show love and care when they are being taken care of and I promise that is exactly what I will do.
About: I currently have a 7-year-old boxer/terrier mix named Kona, so I understand the daily needs, routines, and personalities that make each dog unique. I’ve also cared for strays in the past, making sure they were safe and well fed. I’ll treat your pet with the same attention and love I give my own. I’m in college Monday through Thursday mornings. This gives me plenty of free afternoons and daytime availability to care for pets and make sure they get the attention they need. I will ensure the dog(s) stay within their fenced area, ensure they're fed and their environment is clean and tidy. I will also ensure they get a good walk within the time limit set

Nicole was an absolute angel with Lale during a very stressful time for me. From day one, I could see how kind, caring, and genuinely loving she is with animals. Honestly, the best review comes from Lale herself — she would practically hop with excitement whenever she saw Nicole! Watching her little tail wag and seeing how happy she was made my heart so happy. Lale felt completely safe, loved, and spoiled in the best possible way. Knowing Nicole was with her gave me such comfort and peace of mind. She cared for Lale with so much affection and attention, as if she were her own. I’m beyond grateful for everything Nicole did for my sweet girl. Anyone would be lucky to have Nicole care for their pet — and their pet will probably fall in love with her just as much as Lale did! ❣️🐾💕
Jacqueline was fantastic with our cats while we were away. We have a few shy ones who Jacqueline won over in short order. You could tell how well cared for they were while we were gone. We’ve had other sitters who we see the cats sleeping every visit. Here Jacqueline had them up and playing! I think they were sad to see us come home ha. Thank you so much Jacqueline for giving us such a wonderful peace of mind.
We hired Kristen F. for the first time and we could not be happier with her. We read all the wonderful 5 star reviews her clients left her and without a doubt we would give her 10 stars! Not only was she super attentive to our 13 year old kitty, she took care of all our needs too! She has such a loving way about that our baby instantly sensed she was kind human, and just like that, they were friends! The daily photos, and regular updates she posted helped relieve any anxiety we had and we could see how happy he was to play with his new friend. We highly recommend her to anyone who is considering hiring through this app and we will keep requesting her as our sitter every time as she is excellent and went above and beyond to care for all of us!
Esperanza was great to work with! I asked her if I can pay her to comd the night before the booking on extremely short notice to meet myself and my bernedoodle, and she was able to do so which was fantastic. She did two drop in visits during the day while I was away and did a wonderful job and followed all the instructions I gave her.
