About: I have been caring for a large variety of animals since I was 13, including dogs, cats, reptiles and small mammals. I have worked in various pet care positions including wildlife rehabilitation, animal educator, and pet care specialist. I have done volunteer work with local shelters and rehabilitation centers since I could work. I am known within my community as the "animal girl" and am frequently contacted for advice, care, and pet sitting. I am fairly new to this app, but am definitely not new to caring for any kind of animal big or small. I currently work at Stony Brook University mon-fri 9am-1pm. The rest of my days are usually open and able to be moved around to your schedule and needs! I currently do not offer services in my home as I have a dog who takes a while to warm up to strangers. Future opportunities may be available, but right now I am prioritizing her comfortability.

“Kaileigh is the BEST pet sitter! She took good care of Miaui and handled unexpected situations with grace and kindness! I highly recommend her and hooe to be able to use her again. Thank you, Kaileigh, from me and Miaui! ❤️”


“I could not be happier with how Marianna took care of my cat. Kunkcles was well taken care of while I was away. Marianna did everything I asked. I will definitely return to her in the future if she is available.”


About: What sets me apart from others is my hands-on experience and deep dedication to animal care. I work at a doggie daycare where I care for up to 45 dogs at a time, both big and small. My responsibilities include supervising them indoors and outdoors, ensuring they get plenty of playtime and fresh air, tending to their daily needs like feeding, watering, and administering medication when necessary, and even managing their individual schedules. I also take photos of the dogs for social media, capturing their personalities and moments throughout the day. Outside of work, I care for my own dogs—Paco, Bella, and Hedwig, as well as regularly petsit my sister’s senior Miniature Pinscher, Roman. My life revolves around dogs, and I treat each one with the love and attention I give my own pets. Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. I currently work at a doggie daycare five days a week—Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 1 to 7 PM—where I care for a large number of dogs and manage their needs. Before or after work, I’m available to walk dogs, do drop-in visits, play with them, feed them, or simply let them out for a break. At home, I have three dogs of my own, and their care is part of my everyday life. I make sure they’re walked, fed breakfast and dinner, and given lots of attention—whether that’s playing fetch with the energetic one or snuggling with the others. Pet care isn’t just a job for me; it’s a lifestyle I’m fully committed to. I don’t offer pet boarding in my home because one of my dogs is older and prefers a quiet, familiar environment without other animals or new people. Instead, I provide care in your home, where your pet is most comfortable. I’m happy to follow your specific instructions to make sure your pet’s routine is kept as normal as possible. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication, or just keeping them company, I’ll take care of it with attention and care. I also have reliable transportation, so getting to and from your home is never an issue.

About: I follow instructions that are left for the pet, I interact with the pet alot and treat it as my own. I make sure it is given unconditional love and care that all animals deserve!! Part time in the afternoons or on the weekends with advanced notice. During the week after 5pm and on the weekends between 10am-9pm, unless it’s overnight then the hours are more flexible. I am in an enclosed apartment, that is spacious and has a patio for the pet to chill with fresh air. I also have a lot of areas to play around the complex that is friendly to four legged creatures, I live near numerous outdoor amenities including parks and beaches for the pet to explore. The entire neighborhood is very welcoming to pets and it could easily make a play date.
