“She watched Daisy and did a fantastic job. Daisy was a little nervous at first but she worked with her and by the end of my vacation they were sitting on the backyard stairs cuddling!”

About: I have always felt a strong connection to animals. I believe our pets are just as important as any other family member. I grew up with dogs and now have a puppy that I share with my partner who is quite truly our child. One of my recent clients said, "Rachel, you see animals as if they are little children, with personalities, feelings and emotions. I've never come across anyone that is as intuitive with them as you are". I'm that girl who will stop you in the middle of the street to pet your pup just because he or she looked at me. I want to give them as much love as I possibly can. My patience is my biggest asset and skill as a pet parent, sitter and dog walker. I want to give your pup the same attention as I give my own. I sit for both puppies, kitties and senior animals. I'm experienced with special care needs such as medication management or any other special care your animal may require. When I'm caring for your your pet(s) they becomes my family and I give them the gentle care and loyal love they deserve. PS. Our beloved Rocco passed over the rainbow bridge in early June. We are in the process of adopting another puppy. As a freelancer, I often have a flexible schedule and am happy to come up with a schedule that works for us both - weather you are looking for regular care or are simply taking a trip for the weekend and need someone to look after your fuzzball. I am able to provide sitting services at your home, walking sessions, drop-in visits or play dates. I live with my partner and am able to care for your pup in our home or in yours, the choice is yours. My partner is allergic to cats, so although, I am not able to board them in my home unfortunately. But, I am more than happy to board them in your home, drop by for a cuddle, play time, in home stay. I love going on walks and can play with your pets to make sure they stay happy and mentally enriched. I can also brush your pets hair for you, bathe them as well as give massages.

About: Hi there! I’m Maria, and I absolutely love caring for animals — they’ve been a part of my life since I was little. I’ve volunteered at Paws NY and other dog-focused organizations, and helped friends and family with their pets over the years. I also have special experience with senior dogs, having cared for my own Bichon Frise, who lived to 16. That taught me patience, compassion, and how to make pets feel comfortable and loved at every stage of life. I treat every furry friend as if they were my own, with plenty of affection, play, and attention💗🐶 **What I Offer: - One-on-one care: Only one dog at a time, so your pet gets my full attention. -Never alone: Your pet will always have company and care. -Calm, safe home: Private, quiet, no kids or other pets. -Perfect location: Very easy access, calm, family-friendly and beautiful neighborhood! -Active or relaxed pets: Walks, play, and exercise for energetic pups; gentle, patient care for older or calmer pets. -Health & safety: Administering medications (pills, injections, topical treatments), following special diets, and monitoring senior pets. -Enrichment & comfort: Puzzle toys, scent games, and extra care for anxious or nervous pets. -Frequent updates: Photos and videos via WhatsApp or your preferred method, so you can see your pet happy and safe in real time. -Flexible scheduling: Drop-ins, overnight stays, or extended care tailored to your pet’s routine. -Grooming basics: Brushing, paw checks, and keeping coats clean and comfortable I have a very flexible schedule and can care for your pets in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings — whatever works best for you!

“Daniel was beyond responsible and responsive, although I was far away he made sure to inform me on each visit on my senior dog and cat. I know for sure who to contact in the future !”


“Michelle has been fantastic. My dog is a rescue and often takes a bit of time to warm up to new people. Michelle was so patient with him and continues to provide the highest level of care for him. Michelle is very responsive and always communicates before and after the visit. I’d highly recommend Michelle to help care for your pets!”


About: I have owned dogs since I was 6 and have experience with caring for four dogs at one time. I currently own two dogs and have owned five in my lifetime. I have been responsible for their care and training, and I am comfortable with both large and small dogs, puppies and seniors, as well as multiple at a time. I have experience caring for pets of friends and neighbors, and I am good at following instructions, as I know how particular pets can be! I am in college and have the ability to work whatever hours fit your needs- early mornings, late nights, weekends. It can be hard to be with your pet 24/7, and I understand that and am willing to work with whatever you may need. I am in college with an irregular schedule, so I can fit your needs at times others cannot. I am willing to work early mornings, late nights, and weekends, and I am experienced in balancing school and work. I see taking care of dogs as more of a passion, so I will work hard to make sure you get the care you deserve. I have experience caring for pets in others' homes, and I am a quick learner. I love detailed instructions; tell me everything I could ever need to know about your pets, and I will work to accommodate them and respect your space.

About: As someone who has had many fur babies, I understand how hard it can be to leave them! My goal is to make that experience less stressful and ensure that you are stress free while away. I have had extensive experience caring for animals ranging from dogs and cats to reptiles, amphibians, fish, guinea pigs, mice, rats and hamsters. I currently have a cat and guinea pigs but have had all of the prior listed animals at one point or another. I am comfortable doing care for special needs animals and don’t mind the extra time that they need. I am available on short notice and during some odd hours due to grad school. I am a current grad student so I have flexible timing as well as last minute availability. I am available most weekdays after 3pm and anytime on the weekends. Given my experience with many pets, I know how to safely handle many species as well as care for cats and dogs. I am also trained in animal cpr and am comfortable dealing with any special needs an animal has as well as any emergencies that may arise.
About: Growing up, my childhood home was affectionately known as "The Zoo"—and for good reason! From dogs and cats to bunnies, hamsters, hermit crabs, and fish, I’ve spent my life surrounded by a diverse cast of creatures. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve transitioned from a kid who loved animals to a seasoned caregiver who understands the nuances of pet behavior and health. I’m particularly well-versed in specialized care; I can confidently administer medications and manage complex health routines and I’m a dedicated "cat parent" to my own senior kitty who has CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), so I truly understand the patience, vigilance, and extra TLC required for pets with chronic conditions. Whether your pet is high-energy or requires more care, they’ll be in experienced, loving hands. I am home all day with open availability and would love to fit your special furry loved one into my schedule and keep them company! I believe that every interaction should be rooted in building a genuine foundation of trust; when an animal feels secure, they can truly thrive. This bond is especially vital for pets requiring special care or medications—I take the time to move at their pace so that even during medical routines, they feel safe, happy, and relaxed rather than stressed.
“I always feel at ease having Bryndon check up on my pup. I always worry since a corso is not an easy dog to manage but he always has tons of fun with Bryndon. I also enjoy all the cute pics I get :) he’s very respectful of our house rules too”

About: I've cared for all sorts of dogs growing up: big dogs, small dogs, lazy dogs, hyper dogs, old dogs, and young dogs. I've even cared for my roommate's cat from time to time. I love every second of it, and your pet will love everything about me! I can guarantee that your pet will be in good hands! I am available at all hours between Monday through Thursday. If it is to just let your pet outside or to watch over your house while you are away overnight, I am available! Walking and playing are some of the highest priorities for pet parents, so that will be mine as well. I will make sure your pet will be entertained and walked/let out as instructed. As well as feedings and bathings! *Will not bathe aggressive pets*
“Maxibel did an amazing job taking care of my two pups! From the start, communication was clear and consistent, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about animals my dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. I came home to two relaxed and content pups, which says everything. I would absolutely trust Maxibel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


About: Hi! My name is Hayward, and caring for dogs has been a part of my everyday life for years. I currently own multiple dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers and French Bulldogs, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities.

Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll provide photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: From the many years of having a Labrador I have learned many ways of taking care of a dog especially since mine is very wild. Recently a few years ago have also gotten a miniature schnauzer and I enjoy the amount of love I receive from both my pets. I also have much experience taking care of dogs from my sisters German shepherd that she has had the past years. I have a huge love for animals and I aim to provide the best care for any animal I am around. My time volunteering at the animal shelter in my home town has also shown me how different types of breeds act and how to calm them down. They also showed me the basic care that cats and dogs need. I tend to be the guy that plays with the dog in social gatherings mainly because I want to have a solid connection with them. The other pets in my pictures that are not mine are dogs I have cared for and found/rescued I can care for pets almost anytime before 4pm and I can stay the night with them almost very night. Of course a proper 1 day notice is appreciated I make sure to know rules the owners may have specific to their pets needs. Aside from that making sure they are in a comfortable environment with water and fed at their meal times. If allowed , walks too so they can use the bathroom and for exercise.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years, and I have two small dogs of my own that I love. I’m organized, responsible, and attentive, and I provide each dog with personalized care, walks, and playtime. I also prioritize clear communication with owners, just as I appreciate when someone cares for my own pets. I’m available all week, including weekends. Just reach out and we can discuss your schedule. I kindly ask owners to be honest about their pets’ needs and behavior so I can provide the best care and avoid any issues during their stay. I prefer to care for pets at my home, where I can provide a safe and comfortable environment. I offer boarding only for small dogs, as I live on a 2nd floor, and I have a backyard where pets can play at least twice a day, along with neighborhood walks. My goal is for every dog to have a happy and enjoyable stay. For any specific details or questions, feel free to contact me.

I have a really nervous and picky dog, and he warmed up to Chris within minutes!! I’ve had several pet sitters over the years and the only one he loves is his grandpa (husband’s dad). However, Chris has met him three times now and based on pictures alone I can tell my little guy is feeling more and more comfortable each visit. I am definitely a repeat customer! I have another trip in the next couple weeks and am SO glad I can go away without worrying about the stress levels of my pup. Thanks so much Chris + Jack!!

We had such a wonderful experience with Christina! 🥰 She was so sweet, reliable, and attentive with our puppy Chloe, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Chloe absolutely loved spending time with her, and Christina was always great about keeping us updated. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so grateful we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur baby! 🐶💕

Michelle was great with my corgi. Communication while arranging the meet and greet could have been better but overall I’m very happy with the care she gave him for the drop-in visits. She listened exactly to what he needed and gave him lots of outside time. I would not hesitate to book with Michelle again.

We are so grateful for Geoff! He recently helped us out on very short notice when we needed someone to care for our dog, Cayenne, and our two cats so that our whole family could travel for a college visit with our son. Geoff was incredibly accommodating, reliable, and took great care of all three of them, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Geoff has been wonderful with Cayenne and is someone we know we can depend on. It means a lot to have someone we trust caring for our pets, especially when plans come together unexpectedly. We highly recommend Geoff and truly appreciate everything he does for our furry family members!

Lillian was absolutely wonderful with our two Shih Tzus, Smokey and Bandit. From our initial meet-and-greet to a last-minute request for a walk and feeding, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to communicate with. She kept us updated, responded promptly, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in great hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Smokey and Bandit, and they were happy and well cared for every time she looked after them. We highly recommend Lillian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

Pete is amazing. I was gone for a business trip last week and Pete came over every morning to watch Oscar and see him off to daycare every day. Oscar was thrilled, as was Sandy, to spend so much time with his best friend. It gave me such peace of mind knowing that Pete was taking care of Oscar, and it was amazing to have one less thing to worry about. I literally cannot put a price on that!! Thank you, Pete!!
We had a great experience with the pet care service for our dog, Cola! Jinghong was very patient and caring with her, especially since Cola is an older dog and needs extra attention. We really appreciated the regular visits, feeding support, walks, and overall communication. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of Cola — we truly appreciate it!
I can’t say enough great things about Ashley ! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate she is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. While at work I received photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but happy and well cared for. It truly felt like my dog was being treated like family, not just a booking. When I come home from work, my dog is relaxed, content, and clearly has formed a bond with Ashley - which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet ! If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and full of love for your pet, I highly recommend Ashley !
