“Lindsey has been reliable, punctual, and available for both communications and my dog watching needs. She is flexible & understanding when I need to update. I feel confident that she is engaging and genuinely enjoys my dog.”

About: I have been watching my neighbors dogs for the past 17 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. Since I am young and active, I can take your dog on walks and provide plenty of exercise throughout the day. Additionally, I can provide overnight sitting and ensure your house looks occupied. I am more than happy to bring in your mail/packages, water your plants, adjust the blinds, turn on and off lights, bring garbage cans to the curb (and back) for trash pick up. I have a cat of my own named Oliver so I also have years of experience with cat care! I can come check on your feline friend and will feed, refresh water, play, and clean the litter box as needed. I am very free during the summer. During the week I can stop by anytime during the day, as well as provide overnight care. I am also free most weekends. I understand it is hard to leave your furry friend so I really do go out of my way to put pet owner's at ease. I will consistently provide updates and photos so you know you are in good hands.
“Patient and has a good vibe all around. Happy we went with her! We feel comfortable having her with our dog. He can be a lot but she doesn’t seem shy or uncomfortable being around him.”
“Tiffany is the best! Kiwi, our golden retriever absolutely loves Tiffany's visits because of how much play and attention she gets. I fully trust Kiwi in Tiffany's care. She recently took care of her in our home while we were away for a night, and I was amazed at how calm Kiwi was when we returned. Knowing that Tiffany is a vet's technician also gives me peace of mind.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! She was thoughtful and attentive, and both kitties seemed to warm up to her really quickly. She went out of her way to provide exceptional service, and I’d be happy to make use of her services again!”
“Victoria was great with all 3 of my dogs. It tends to be a circus wrangling all 3, but she did an awesome job. Victoria is attentive to detail and great at communicating. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Aside from having my own personal dogs in home most of my life I have been volunteering working with and training rescues for 2 years now. Two hours in the Morning, two hours around lunch and all evenings are all free to care for the pets. Walks, fetch and training all available.

Have experience working with dogs that don’t interact with other dogs very well.
About: Growing, we had all kinds of pets from dogs, cats, rabbits, even a raccoon! My mom is a dog breeder so I have a great deal of experience with all dog ages. I now have a cat and dog of my own. I am currently transitioning out of a full-time job so I have a lot more free time that I’d love to spend doing something I enjoy. Due to me living in an apartment, I will currently not be offering care in home unless necessary. There are dog parks in the area that I bring my own pup to along with trails that would be available.
About: First of all, I absolutely love dogs. I love all animals, really! I have experience with dogs having grown up with one. While I only have a cat at home, I find myself always checking out dog videos online and I frequently jump at the opportunity to dog sit for friends and family. I am more than willing to help in any way I can. I will play with your dogs and make sure they are walked and taken care of. I do work a full time job from 8am-5pm M-F but I would be happy to help with anything outside of these hours. My coworkers and family would tell you that I am extremely respectful and a very hard worker. I am dedicated to everything I do, and I strive to make sure my job is done correctly. I love to laugh and am a people person. I cant wait to meet your pups and meet you! I hope to see you soon!
About: I am a college student living in East Harlem for the summer and near three great dog parks. I will provide 30-60 min walks with time in a park. Dogs enjoy a little time in parks with other dogs, so I try to make it happen as much as possible. Every walk comes with a complimentary treat and lots of love. I have over 10 years of dog care experience in all areas of pet ownership and hope to bring these skills to taking care of your pets! My goal is to make sure your dog has an enjoyable time away from you and to stick to any schedule you set forth for your dog. Hope I am given the chance to treat your dogs to a great walk! I currently work part-time, so I have a lot of time to share with your pet. I strive to make all pets comfortable, loved and well played with. I follow all rules given to the T. I will play any game while keeping them on schedule. I offer long dog walks. Comfortable sleeping spaces with optional cuddles for cats lol! I have a lot of space for zoonoses in my own home as well.

Tiffany is the best. We had a trip planned for months and a few weeks before one of our kitties was diagnosed with glaucoma, requiring drops three times a day. Tiffany was able to get the drops in his eye for us while we were gone and when we got home there were very happy animals waiting to greet us. Kept their messes cleaned and left the sweetest note. Appreciate her so much she is just the best.
