“Sarah was wonderful with our cats while we were away. She made a deliberate effort to make contact with our quite shy boy and it looks like she was successful! How could he refuse her gentle friendly invitation? Great communication as well. I highly recommend Sarah!”

About: Now accepting spring and summer bookings! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and believe they should always be treated like family. I began caring for animals in 1996 and have over 20 years of experience with dog walking, pet sitting, boarding, drop-in visits, playtime, and administering medications. I provide calm, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, a senior, or needs extra support, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I specialize in consistent morning walks and in-home care for busy professionals and families in Fresh Meadows and surrounding neighborhoods (within a 3–5 mile radius). I enjoy building trust with every pet I care for and always treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in experienced, dependable hands while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your furry family! Use my promo code MARLES24678 for a special new client discount. My schedule currently allows for availability for walks and pet care, as well as pet sitting. I am also accepting bookings for fall 2026 for walks, pet sitting, and boarding. I’m happy to answer questions and help find a schedule that works for you and your pet. I follow all instructions provided by each pet parent carefully to ensure consistency in the pet’s routine and comfort. I prioritize each pet’s safety, well-being, and emotional needs, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special care requirements. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection based on their personality and energy level. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and cues so I can respond appropriately and keep them comfortable and happy.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. We have always had at least one dog in the house if not more. In the past 6 years I have helped my parents to puppy train twice. I love dogs unconditionally, but I am not afraid to show a little tough love when needed. I’m currently going back to school and attend a lot of local sporting events but I still make it a priority to take my dog for a walk daily. Whether we fit in a walk before I leave in the morning or in-between class and a game, I know how much she loves her walks. I also make sure to give her ample play time when I am home. I make sure that whether the pet is in a fenced in yard or not I am always keeping an eye on them when outside. I always respect the clients wishes regarding their animal being on furniture, in what rooms, and such on.

“Madeline took amazing care of my cat Archie! She took great care in feeding him, and giving him love, pets, and attention. She is communicative, reliable, and sent the cutest pictures of Archie! I could fully enjoy my trip knowing my cat was left in her excellent care.”

“Heather did a wonderful job keeping us informed while we were away. She was attentive and we’re very happy with her!”

“Brad is a great cat sitter. He spent time each visit coaxing our cat Cody out of his hiding spots and keeping him company. I would highly recommend Brad.”

About: I have worked with dogs for about 6 years now and love dog sitting for families. I am a reliable sitter and will take the extra time to make sure your dogs are comfortable and safe. I have experience with administering medication and help calm the animals during loud noises(fireworks) and thunderstorms. I absolutely love dogs and would love to help your furry friends be comfortable while you’re away! I have pretty open availability during the summer and am available for multiple night dog sitting sessions. I would love to spend some of my free time with your furry babies! While dog sitting, I like to spend time outside with the animals and let them exercise. I love to snuggle up with them and take them on walks. I am also able to aid in lifting senior dogs onto couches and beds. weight limit for lifting: 115 lbs.

“Mia accepted a holiday booking on short notice, and easily accommodated our schedule. Took good care of the cat, and the house. Our cat wouldn't come inside after one visit, so Mia made an extra stop to let him in later. Accommodated our late return home with an additional booking. Overall, great service.”

About: First off, I am a licensed veterinary technician since 2019. My standards are high for my own animals as well as yours. I have the skills required to take care of a wide range of animals. I am confident in my ability to care for animals. I do not care for dogs under 1 year old. I do not care for untrained dogs. Pet care is my job. I take care of the animals during the requested time. If I'm staying overnight, I take care of your pets and home. I leave and come back as I need. I follow what the client would like me to do. We would meet, you would share the appropriate information and I would follow that. As it says, this will depend on what service you need. We can discuss this at a later time.

About: Hi there! My name has since changed to *Romeo* as I am queer :) Ive had experience with all sorts of animals since I was a young! My heart however has always lied with dogs. Ive lived with, trained, and taken care of dogs from age 15. Professionally, I am currently a counselor at Camp Bow Wow! I’ve been working there for over a year now, learning and applying a wide range of skills. In this role I’ve learned some key skills on how to ensure companions are safe and happy: 1. Body language: I observe everything from your dog’s head to tail to minimize reactivity due to human- animal misunderstandings 2. Health indicators: although I’m not a vet, I was trained to recognize irregular symptoms a dog may be displaying such as stool texture and consistency, body temperature, excessive panting and drooling, gum color, etc. Anything your dog may be struggling with from itchy skin to something greater, I’ll notify you right away! 3. Communication: parents love hearing about their babies and seeing them happy and comfortable! By regular communication, this allows me to get clear instructions to follow, assess any changes needed in care or routine, and stay up to date in case of any rapid changes or emergencies. In addition, what sets me apart is my artistic attention to detail, which allows me to adapt to your dogs needs in a creative way. I like to challenge myself by finding ways to stimulate and enrich your dog while you are away! I’m very relaxed, quiet, and easygoing, but also spontaneous and go-with-the-flow should your dog get the zoomies! I’ll get mine out with him :) Lastly, I respect peoples spaces/ privacy and always clean up behind myself after using something in your space. I'd love to give your dog my unconditional love and undivided attention. Your baby is not just a pet, they are our best friends who depend on us. So Relax while you’re away, and leave the fun stuff to me! Looking for regular/ recurring clients :) I currently work part time on weekdays, twice a day for up to 7 hours. This is subject to change within the next few weeks to ensure I have time to House sit efficiently. Please reach out to me with questions about this, and I’d be happy to negotiate! I love being outside, especially in the company of some furry friends. I understand that your dog may either be a nature pet or a couch potato, and I'm able to adapt to your pets needs depending on their personality. I'm clean, quiet, and active when need be. Cleanliness is a priority for me. Cleaning up waste properly and right away is a must, including picking up poop during walks.

About: I’ve taken care of cats for the past 5 years! I’ve done drop-in visits and house-sitting for family and friends while they’re away, including feeding, playing with, grooming, and taking cats to vet visits. I love having cats around, and in my eyes, all cats are beautiful! I’ll treat your fur babies with the same love, attention, and patience that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a third-year medical student, so I’m available to spend time with your cat after work on weekdays and throughout the weekends. I always aim to create a safe and calm environment for every cat. I'll ask for your instructions and clarify any questions to ensure we're on the same page. I'm also happy to follow any specific routines you have for your cat to help them feel comfortable while you're away.

About: Hi guys! My name is Steven! I work from home with a lot of flexibility! I love dogs and have two of my own, a lab and a golden doodle! I would love to help you out with yours while your away! Take them running, play tug-O-war, basic training sit, stay, lay down, or just be a companion, whatever you would like!! I have had many dogs growing up including my current furry friends!

As a full-time professional with a highly flexible work arrangement, I can seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine. Whether it's a midday walk, feeding, or playtime, I can easily step away from work when needed to ensure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. Your furry friends will have my full focus and care, making sure they feel loved and content throughout the day. In my care, pets receive the utmost attention, mirroring the love and attention I provide to my own. They'll experience VIP treatment, including regular brushing, well-balanced meals, invigorating walks, a clean litter box, and ample playtime. As an avid runner, I'm excited to share my passion for jogging with them for some extra exercise. The safety, trust, and positive environment I create ensure your pets feel at home and cherished in my care.

“Abby is absolutely amazing! Definitely one of the best Rover sitters we’ve had! She met with us beforehand to review everything and stayed in communication while we were away. One of our cats got a little sick while we were gone and Abby kept us updated with how she was doing to help ease our concerns. We will absolutely be booking again the next time we are away!”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a child. I grew up on a farm and had to care for the family pets. I have watched a plethora of dog breeds for a night, weekend, week, or just to check in. I have experience clipping nails, bathing, and administering medications. I love pet snuggles and giving treats as well as being very active with my pet friends!! We can be flexible with pet sitting needs and am able to provide services during the day, evenings and weekends. We provide boarding, sitting, drop in visits, and walking. We do not provide housesitting overnight at this time. We have a loving energetic 4 year old black lab mix who loves friends to play with and a 12 year old daughter who loves caring for pets. We have a cozy ranch-style home with a small fenced in yard for free play. We can easily crate if needed/preferred. We prefer you provide your own dog food, but we have pedigree high protein kibble if needed. We like to give training treats for a job well done. We always use positive reinforcement with our own pets and others!
