Amanda was great with our kitties while we were away on vacation! She sent lots of updates with photos/videos and was very respectful of our space. Amanda went above and beyond during meal times as our kitties need to be separated and can be picky eaters. I would highly recommend Amanda for any of your pet care needs!

Staci was so great, her communication was prompt and she kept me updated throughout her visit with photos. She was able to help me out in a pinch and my baby was well taken care of. I’m so appreciative of that. I will definitely be working with her again!

Melanie and Anthony are absolute gems as pet sitters and house guests. They are so kind and caring- both towards animals and towards us humans - taking great care of all of us during their stay. They sent lovely photos of our pets being adored and living their best lives in our absence and they took great care to be respectful about my needs as a person with Celiac disease, even leaving extra GF staples for me and cleaning the house! They are truly great humans and we feel so lucky to have found them. Booking them again ASAP!!

Very simply- Nick and Justin were awesome! Not only did they respond very clear to our initial last minute request, but they were so nice to our three dogs. Communicated every single walk that they were taken on and anytime that they were fed or let outside. If there were any concerns that they had, they made sure to connect with us before doing anything I felt like I was watching my dogs and I’m very appreciative. We will be sure to be using Nick and Justin exclusively for all of our trips in the future. And I would recommend them to you for your visit in the future as well. Thank you both.

Marilyn was great! While we were away, she stayed at our home with our sweet senior pooch, regularly was in contact with us, sent us photos, and asked questions if she had any. She left our home in perfect condition and we were very happy with her services! We’ll absolutely call her again if we go out of town without him!

I recently used Tricia for the first time for two nights of pet sitting with my senior chihuahua, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She was incredibly professional, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She took such amazing care of my dog and kept me updated the entire time with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It meant everything knowing Winnie was in such good hands. I will absolutely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

About: I really love animals and spending time with them. I currently work as a dog walker, so I’m used to being around dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I also have my own cat, Leyla, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I always pay attention to each pet’s needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with. I treat every pet like my own, and their safety and happiness are always my priority. My work shifts end by 3:30 PM, so I am fully available for afternoon and evening care at your home. While my off days vary each week, I am very flexible and can provide dedicated time for walks or house sitting during those days. I am committed to following your pet's specific routine and ensuring they get the attention they need once I am off work. I am a very responsible and alert sitter who prioritizes the safety of your pet and the security of your home. I am extremely careful about locking doors and ensuring your pet is safe and supervised at all times during my visits. I stay in constant communication with owners, providing updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.

Kelly was a pleasure! We met in advance for her to meet the fur babies, which I really appreciated. She helped watch 3 of our animals, one being a senior English bulldog that needs extra care and it was comforting to know while my husband and I were away, they were in good hands. They loved her! Which is also comforting! Thanks Kelly!! :)

About: I love all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs! I grew up with a family dog and have cared for many of my friends’ and family members’ pets over the past 10 years. I’ve also trained my own dog and love learning new tips and techniques to help pets thrive. Whether it’s a quick walk around the block or a long hike on the trails, I truly enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. I’m also hoping that by dog sitting and walking, I’ll finally convince my husband that it’s time for us to adopt our own pup soon! 🐶❤️ I currently work Tues-Thurs full time in NYC office and available most weekends. My husband and I enjoy filling our free time walking and caring for dogs. He and I both will care for your beloved furry baby like it is our own. I’m available most weekdays after work and weekends with notice. I’m happy to follow any specific routines or house rules and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. From walks and feedings to baths, medication, and extra snuggles — I’ll treat your pet like part of the family!

About: My dog is the most important thing to me. Therefore I know what it’s like to worry about whether my fur baby is in good hands. I will treat your baby just as I treat mine and will try to make their time away from you less stressful for both of you. You can be assured that they will be in good hands. Whether it’s for a walk or to take care of them for a couple days. I understand that all pets are different and they all have different needs. I will try to know as much as possible to provide the best service to you and your pet. I have a lot of personal experience with dogs in my own personal life and would love to share that experience with all :)

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and rescue enthusiast based in oakdale. I’ve had the joy of fostering several dogs over fthe years, and it’s taught me how to connect quickly with pets and understand their individual needs and personalities. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and pets who need a little extra attention—whether that means administering medications, taking things at their pace, or just offering calm companionship. Whether you need someone for a drop-in visit, a walk, or to keep your pup company while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every dog like they’re family and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to share updates and photos to keep you in the loop while you’re away. Let’s connect and see how I can help care for your furry friend! As a remote worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Whether it’s a midday walk, an early morning drop-in, or keeping your pet company for a few hours, I can easily adjust my routine to meet your needs. Working from home also means I’m never in a rush—I have the time and attention to give your pet the care they deserve. I can pop in for frequent visits or stay for longer periods if needed, and I’m always just a message away if you want an update or a quick photo of your furry friend. My calm, consistent presence helps pets feel safe and relaxed, especially those who may experience separation anxiety or are more comfortable sticking to a familiar routine. In my home, pets are treated like family—because they are! Dogs are welcome on the couch and bed if that’s what they’re used to (and love). I keep a clean, pet-friendly space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I follow whatever routines they’re used to, whether that’s morning walks, mealtime rituals, or quiet time snuggled up on the couch.

About: I am a animal lover I grew up with lots of animals.I have my grooming diploma. I am CPR/pet first-aid certified and I have a diploma in animal physical therapy. I'm a home health aide my hours are very flexible, I would like to take care of your wonderful dog. I was born in Puerto Rico and I currently live in Long Island, I have a beautiful daughter, and 13 years old son, all who loves animals just as much as I do. I have a adorable 11 year old English Cocker spaniel named Snowflake , 3 year old French Bulldog named Lexie , 2 year old French Bulldog named Diesel and an Sphynx Cat named Theo. Your dog will get all the love and attention that it would need. Looking forward to taking care of your wonderful pets. Your doggie will wake up to breakfast and playtime in the yard followed by a full day of love and fun! During nap time, your dog will be enjoying their private doggie suite. When we created our private doggie suite, I was thinking of all the things I would want our dogs to have if we were away. Our checklist of amenities include: - private couch/futon for lounging - clean fresh water bowls 24/7 - several breaks for play time outside - 24 hour recorded camera monitoring in - secured locked doors -AC and/or heat & fans with temp alerts - TV and ALEXA/echo music - fenced secure yard - easily cleaned floors **rates are for 24 hour periods. After 24 hours, it’s $10 an hour. - puppies and tiny dogs may stay in smaller secure area or my be bought in our home. -LOTS OF LOVE AND ATTENTION ❤️ When taking care of dogs, it's important to provide them with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Here are some fun activities I can do with the dogs I watch: Walking is a great way to provide dogs with exercise and mental stimulation. I Choose different routes and places to walk, such as a local park, beach, or hiking trail. Most dogs love playing fetch. I can take your dog or dogs with your permission to a fenced dog's park and play a game of fetch with a ball or frisbee. Dogs love to play with toys, such as squeaky toys or tug ropes.

Emma and Trent looked after our English bulldog for a week when we went away for vacation. This was our first time using anyone other than family to watch her but could not be more happy with our experience. Our dog, Darla, has lots of quirks that can make her a little more difficult than your average dog. From the moment Darla met Trent and Emma she fell in love and we knew she would be in great hands. We got regular updates and Darla seemed to enjoy her week with them. Trent and Emma communicated often and made us feel comfortable the entire time we were away. Would 1000% rebook with them both and we think Darla would agree. Emma and Trent are great people and go out of their way to make sure we and Darla were comfortable during the week
