“Anna was prefect instantly. Extremely responsive starting at my initial inquiry, to setting a meet before my trip, and diligently answering all of my questions and concerns. She arrived on time daily and took very good care of my girls♥️. Anna brought in an unexpected package and even brought my mail inside without being asked. 10/10 - I will be using Anna again in the future.”
“I could not be happier with the service Madison provided. I came home from a three day trip to a very happy and stress free German Shepard. Madison did exactly what she promised and really helped put my mind at ease while I was away. I highly recommend and will use in the future. Thank You again.”
About: I grew up with dogs since birth, I have my own 6yo dog & I have cared for many dogs as a professional pet are specialist and walker at my recent job in NYC. I am privately insured through the company Pet Care Insurance. Besides constantly caring for my own pet, I never get tired of spending time with animals. I look forward to even more pets and love in the future! Your pet is your baby. I know mine is my baby. I take pet care as seriously as babysitting. I have full respect for your space as I hope anyone caring for my pet has in my home. Like the boy scouts say, leave no trace!
“Kathy did a wonderful job looking after our Ollie (9 month old American Cocker Spaniel). She is very kind and patient! We enjoyed receiving photos of their visit and Ollie was a happy boy.”
About: I have been caring for dogs and other animals for most of my life. I started when I was 13 and have never stopped. I have a rescue of my own and view her as part of my family; I know exactly what it means to care for pets on a daily basis. I believe that trust between the owner, pet, and carer is so important, and will do my best to make you feel confident your furry family member is taken care of correctly and with lots of love. I also have training and confidence-building experience with all ages and personalities. I only use positive-based training methods. I am comfortable with reactive dogs! I am comfortable with fearful or nervous dogs. I can give medication or potty-train, no problem. I currently stay at home and would be solely dedicated to caring for your pups! I have no obligations that would interfere with any schedules or timely needs that you or your pet may have. I am very flexible! I have a very friendly dog at home, however, she does go to work with my partner some days. My dog is high-energy and goes for long walks with lots of sniffing! She also gets 1-2 hours of exercise in a large fenced-in yard of a family member every day. If your dog is high energy we can meet those needs! (Don't worry low-energy dogs, I see you too & you can snooze as much as you want to)
“Iris was awesome to work with! She is very detail oriented in letting you know what is going on with your fur babies. She sent several messages and pictures throughout the day to keep me in the loop. I would definitely recommend booking with Iris!”
About: I have experience caring for and walking multiple large dogs at once. I have also cared for elderly dogs and dogs with medical needs. I like to learn every dogs needs and behaviors so they feel safe when in my care. I’m a professional volleyball player home for the summer so my hours are very open! I am very active and can take your dogs for nice long walks. I respect the owners space and their recommendations for pet care. I make sure to understand the space so the animals feel safe when I enter their home and so I know where all their necessities are.
“Britney did an amazing job! Thank you so much for being flexible, taking care of our kitties while we were away for the holidays & having to extend care days since we got stuck out there recovering from a high fever. She's the best! 😅”
“Even was a good and communicator, and arrived at the appointed time to meet our dog Goose. He was courteous and solicitous of out dog’s habits. We look forward to working with him.”
“I hired Antonio to take care of my cat. He was flexible and responsive and responsible. I could not have asked for more from a pet sitter. Highly recommended!”
“Emma was super friendly and communicative. We unfortunately had to cancel our rover visit last minute though she made the effort to come over ahead of time to meet our cat and take notes on what she needed. We definitely look forward to utilizing her services in the future!”
About: Knowing your pets are a part of your family, its my intentions to provide an opportunity for your pet to at its best. That means learning your pets personality and needs. My Career also entails skills with animals care specifically for sick animals, not that I am veterinary doctor, meaning I help deal with acute health issues. Being a good listener and observer due to my Scientific Career it's only a matter of time before you realize that you pet just might be excited to visit, and even more happier to return to you. Thanks for asking. My work has very set routine. Therefore when I start a project I know the days that I am available throughout its completion due to having to let processes develop on their own. So I am able to designate time for pet sitting in a routine manner and flexible manner. If I know my clients needs, I can adjust my work accordingly. Thanks for asking. My apartment is definitely animal friendly, with only on carpeted room. I will always notify the owner or any health issue, and with coordinate with the owner emergency protocols. Outside, there is a waterfront your pet can visit for walks, large yards that the pet can explore, and even an enclosed area where your pet can be unleashed so they can get a chance to roam free if ever necessary. As far as individual animal routines for food and walks are concerned, I would only take on a job if I was able to provide the animal with its precise schedule. I find animals are more confident when they know what to expect. Thanks for asking.
“I was lucky enough to find Ava on this site to care for my 2 kitty's for 10 days while I traveled. Ava is a great communicator, always sending reassuring photos after her visits. My cats were very well cared for and she did exactly what she said she would. I would highly recommend Ava and will use her services again without hesitation!!”
About: I have nearly a decade of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Would love to speak about your specific dog's needs regarding energy, temperament, exercise needs, and availability! I work from home so I can provide more high maintenance needs, and am available for boarding for short and long periods, house sitting, or occasional visits. In boarding situations I do have one caged rabbit, who could easily be placed in the basement if he is not compatible with your pet. Sleeping/cage/bathing situations can be discussed if necessary! I live in a open neighborhood with a large yard and space to walk.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs since I could crawl on all fours! I’ve raised multiple kitty litters. I’m totally comfortable with dogs and cats, large and small, old and young. I let out my personal dogs multiple times a day. I feed them breakfast and dinner. Work on some tricks with a reward! And I’m constantly surrounded and comfortable with my family and friends animals. There’s never been a time where I haven’t had a cat and a dog. Throughout the day I take out my 2 dogs in to my fenced in back yard. I have a senior pup so I’m experienced with giving medications too.

Madison and Joseph did an excellent job of caring for my cats during drop in visits. They were prompt in their communications, followed instructions, and spent quality time with the cats during their visits. They were careful to alert me about a potential issue and followed up with me afterward. I wholeheartedly recommend them for pet care and hope to use them again in the future.
