“Kristina is incredible and so empathetic to our dog’s wants and needs. He struggles with separation anxiety and Kristina was more than willing to accommodate to make him comfortable. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“Emely took great care of my two dogs! She was very patient with them and followed all of my instructions. She stayed over night in my home. She was respectful of my home and even cleaned up a bit which she didn't need to do! She gave updates and responded fairly quickly to my texts when I checked in. She did a great job overall keeping my boys happy, taken care of, and entertained.”
“Absolutely incredible. I needed a sitter for my pup last minute and Jess went out of her way above and beyond to squeeze in a meet and greet as well as watching my furbaby. Super sweet, punctual, great communication and absolutely love and care for my furbaby. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook with when needed.”
About: Hi there! I’m Bryan, new here, but a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to my 7 year old rescue pitbull-terrier mix. I have always had a natural bond with animals of all types. I’m especially experienced with skittish or shy rescue dogs. Love cats as well! Offering walks, drop ins, and sittings in LI. Preferably only overnight sittings in NYC due to distance, LI sittings are fine for me to go back and forth to. For walks & drop in’s, I’m in Nassau county so wherever I can get quickly is best. Mostly available on weekdays but potentially some weekends. I can’t offer sittings at my home due to my dog, but more than happy to sit at yours. I love clear instructions on how to care for your pet so I can be sure to follow them for the pets diet, routine, and needs. Safety is a top priority, I’d be sure to keep any doors or gates closed and always be on the look out for any hazards. I would treat your home and pet the way I would mine. Glad to send regular updates or photos of your pet for your comfort. My goal is to take proper care of them!
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a teenager, having family pets growing up and also including watching neighbors’ dogs as well as friends and family members pets over the years. Animals have always warmed up to me immediately, even when described as shy or unfriendly. I work full time but my position has me mobile and traveling to different locations around Long Island throughout the day. This allows me to make stops during the midday for walks. I will also be able to pet sit over night and weekends. I care for all pets as if they were my own. Beyond providing walks and feeding your pet they will also receive attention and affection as well. Along with the utmost care to be aware of drivers and other dogs during walks and to secure any property during overnight visits.
“Your pets are in the best hands with Victoria! She is adorable & was so loving to my puppy, she continuously communicated during the sitting & gave a very thorough recap at the end of her shift. Highly recommend!”
About: This time in my Life is the first time, I have not had a dog of my own. I have had a dog since I was about 8 yrs old. I love dogs, all dogs and for some reason, I have yet to meet a dog who doesn't like me. I will always treat your dog like my own. At this time in my life.. I want to Love everyone else's dogs. I am retired and home almost all days, and if I am not home and watching someone's dog, I would more than likely take them with me. I enjoy going to dog park with my Nephew Dogs and basically just love hanging out with dogs. I live in an apartment and have no pets. I would make all dogs feel comfortable and I allow Pets on furniture and have toys and treats always in the house. I would take them for walks and dog park. Just talking about it, makes me happy.
“Emily is such an amazing sitter! She was flexible and understanding (especially with me being on the other coast of the country when I booked her)! She sent many pictures and videos of my baby that was loved and cared for while I was gone. I already have her booked for another weekend”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, and it’s something that has always come naturally to me. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets, and I love being that reliable person they can count on. Each pet has their own personality, and I really enjoy figuring out what makes them feel happy and comfortable — whether it’s a puppy who needs extra playtime or a senior dog who just wants calm companionship. Alongside my pet care experience, I’m CPR-certified for animals and also work as an EMT (for humans, though!), which has given me strong skills in responsibility, patience, and staying calm in any situation. I bring that same level of care and attentiveness to every pet I look after, making sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family while their people are away. I work part-time as an EMT and full days as a medical assistant on Mondays and Tuesdays (and some weekends), which leaves me with a flexible schedule the rest of the week. Spending time with pets is honestly a perfect balance to my medical work — it feels like a little getaway, and I’ve really missed being around animals. Caring for pets lets me combine something I love with helping out families who need reliable support. I believe pets are happiest in their own familiar space, so I prefer to care for them in their home where they feel most comfortable. I follow each family’s routines closely — walks, meals, medication, and beyond to make sure pets feel safe and secure. With my healthcare background and pet CPR certification, I bring an extra level of attentiveness and responsibility. My goal is to make your pets feel loved and cared for, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands!
“Matt took phenomenal care of our two pups while we were away. He was extremely communicative and got them both tons of exercise and play. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for the best care for their pets!!”
“Rachel was amazing! My dog was happy and well cared for, and I came home to a clean, organized house. It’s such a relief to know my pup is in such good hands—can’t wait to book her again 😊”
About: Hi I’m Mili! I have experience in dogs and cats of multiple breeds and sizes. I own an animal rescue and neuter/spaying foundation in Ecuador ❤️. I have a deep and special connection with animals and I would love to share my love and experience with your pets. I work a full time Monday-Friday job, however, we can adjust the schedule that works best for us! My weekends are very flexible and I am comfortable house sitting over nights. I believe communication is the best way to ensure I can provide your pet with the best care! 🩷 I follow instructions and specifications from pet parents. During my drop-in visits, I like to provide with a 20 minute walk and 2 walks (and as many necessary potty breaks) during house sitting. I also come prepared with brushes, extra treats and other pet friendly items! 🤎💛🐶🐱
About: I’ve always loved dogs and cats since I was young. Although I’m mildly allergic to furs and therefore do not have pets of my own, I absolutely want to spend more time with others’ pets! I currently work remote at home. I have a rather flexible schedule to walk/care for pets on a daily basis, during the workday and potentially the weekends. I offer pet care for both dogs and cats and maybe other small mammals as well. I do not bring pets back to my home but am more than willing to spend time at the owner’s place based on needs.
About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner of a Goldendoodle for 9 years, I bring patience, reliability, and real hands-on experience to every walk and visit. I’m currently looking for full-time work and working part-time currently, so I am very flexible with my timing. I am around during the week and most weekends. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with space to play and relax. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure. I give lots of attention, maintain routines, and keep pet parents updated with photos and notes.
About: I have been helping my friends with their dogs for years and have immense patience for playing with puppies and older dogs. I have house sat for dogs that get up at the crack of dawn and taken my friends' dogs for plenty of late night walks. I have also cleaned up all kinds of pet bathroom mishaps so I'm not afraid to work with dogs that aren't totally house broken I am currently job hunting so I have a lot of free time right now for both daytime drop ins for feeding and walks as well as any necessary overnight stays I make sure to take any dog I'm watching for at least a 10-15 minute walk several times a day I think just letting them out to go to the bathroom and immediately going back in isn't really enough exercise. Some of my friends have a fenced in backyards so after checking that both doors are closed I will sit outside with their dogs while they runs around and throw things for them to play with.
“AMAZING! This is just one of the many GREAT words to describe Lissette! She took such great overnight care for 3 days for my 2 dogs and 2 cats. Kept us informed everyday with texts and plenty of pictures! I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about her! I HIGHLY recommend booking her to take care of your fur babies! 🐾”
