“Sin Ying is wonderful with cats! My cat is very shy and cautious around strangers, but he warmed up to her surprisingly well and was comfortable interacting with her. She was also great at administering his medication and inhaler, Really appreciated how patient and gentle she was with him. Absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!”
“Excellent communicator and caretaker! Extremely kind , thoughtful and considerate. Very grateful to have had Laura look after our lil fur child. No hesitation to book again.”
“Melanie was awesome! My cat is very wary of strangers, and Melanie was able to coax him out of his shell. She got him to play a little, and he even let her pet him! He also has a laundry list of medications to accompany every meal, and Melanie administered them no problem. Sam looked happy in every picture! I'm so impressed and will absolutely reach out to Melanie again when I next need a sitter.”

About: Hi, my name is Julia, and I am a Master of Library Science student. I have been caring for pets my entire life and have experience looking after, walking and administering medication for pets of all shapes and sizes. This includes senior pets. I have been dogsitting for friends and family for several years including long term, overnight stays. I’ve looked after everything from a tiny shih tzu to two Belgian Malinois-sized rescues at once. Since moving from Florida to start my graduate studies, my family has been caring for my two rescue cats Yoshi and Cori, whom I miss dearly. I am offering drop-in visits, house sitting and dog walking services. Availability: Every day except after 3 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. As my family and friends can assure you, I treat every pet I meet with love and care, as if they were my own. I hope to care for yours too ❤️ I am in school full-time with a schedule that leaves me a lot of availability during the day. My classes are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays starting at 4 p.m. Every other time of the week, I’d be happy to lend my pet care services. I am a diligent caregiver with a watchful eye who likes to respect a pet’s autonomy. I am patient and respectful of cats that may be shy or dogs that may be nervous but open to a good cuddle with a pet that might need it.
About: I provide dependable, loving care for dogs of all sizes and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I make sure your dog stays safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, and I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I follow each pet’s normal routine by providing fresh food and water, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. In both my home and my client’s home, I keep the environment clean, follow any special care instructions, and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect.
“Rosandy and Edward are loved by me, Blaze, and Starlette. The couple allows me to work my job as a flight attendant without any worry about my pets. I feel great knowing how well they take care of Blaze and Starlette. We are sincerely grateful for them.”
About: I have been a dog lover since I was born. I was a Dog mom to Jack, a rescue Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix for 16 years. He recently passed away on 7.24.26. Taking care of furry friends is a privilege for me now. I live a few blocks from Forest Park which is a great place for long walks with furry friends. I started dog walking when I lived in Asheville,NC while I went to,school at UNCA 15 years ago to make extra money. It ended up being the best part of my days. I have continued to,dog walk on a part time basis and enjoy bonding with dogs. They are absolutely precious animals that need daily exercise, attention and love just as Cesar Millan would say. I have learned so much about dogs through reading Cesar Millans books as well as watching his show. I have been working remotely since the pandemic in 2020, so I always have time to take care of furry friends throughout the day or week. I have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment and one of the bedrooms is dedicated to pets with a pet bed, toys and space to roam around and stay busy.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog lover with over three years of experience as a dog owner and a reliable go-to sitter for my friends' pups. From daily walks to overnight stays, I’ve helped care for dogs of all sizes and personalities — whether they’re energetic adventurers or laid-back cuddlers. I’ve walked, boarded, and dog, sat regularly, and I treat every pup like part of the family, I even threw my own dog a birthday party on his 2nd birthday! I know how important it is to keep dogs happy, safe, and loved while their humans are away, and I take that responsibility seriously (with a healthy dose of play and treats, of course!). Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m available on weekday evenings and have open availability on weekends, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive and consistent care. Whether it’s an evening walk after work or drop-in visits, I love making room in my schedule to spend time with pets. Caring for animals isn’t just something I squeeze in, it’s something I truly enjoy and plan my time around. I’m reliable, flexible on weekends, and always happy to help make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. In my home, I make sure pets have a cozy, clean space to relax, plenty of playtime, and regular walks and feeding schedules. I keep things quiet and low-stress, especially for dogs or cats who may be nervous in a new place. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to the routines they’re used to , from feeding times and walking routes to bedtime rituals and favorite toys. I respect your space and always leave things clean and tidy. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own , with lots of love, patience, and attention.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The purr-fect home away from home for Romeo! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my cat, Romeo! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he’d be in caring, capable hands and would be treated like part of her family. I received regular photo updates that warmed my heart—pictures of him lounging comfortably, playing, or getting some sweet attention. She spent quality time rubbing and petting him, and I could tell from the photos and updates that he was soaking up all the love and affection. Sarah was attentive to all of Romeo’s needs and made sure he felt safe, calm, and cared for in a new environment. When I picked him up, he looked healthy, content, and completely at ease. If you're looking for a sitter who will treat your pet with love, patience, and genuine care, this is the one. I’m beyond grateful for the amazing care and will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a dog and 2 cats! Mochi the maltipoo is 7 years old, and I've taken care of her since she was 4 weeks old. Mango the tabby is about 4 years old, and I've enjoyed caring for her every minute. Miso is 4 and was rescued by our local shelter. Friends and family have relied on me to help with their pets :) Available to walk your dog(s) to suit your schedule best. I can also drop in at any time of day. Just let me know :) I make sure that my pets have access to clean water and a feeding schedule. I walk my dog 2 times a day and play with them every day. They're safe in my hands :)
About: I’ve had cats and dogs that I cared for many years. I potty trained my dog with treats and also groom him. He listens to me when I call to him. I am retired and work PartTime three days a week. I love being around cats and dogs and enjoy watching them play. I have a Pomeranian that is 22 lbs. I have a very friendly dog with up to date shots. He would love to have a playmate. He loves running and playing with other dogs.
About: Growing up, I had the joy of loving and caring for an 80-pound, goofy, American Pitt Bull Terrier, named Meryn. Throughout my high school years, he was my constant companion, playing catch at the East River Park on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. We would jog across the Williamsburg Bridge and run up and down the stairwell in my apartment building to burn off energy (we lived on the 11th floor). He was an incredibly curious boy, who made training fun. He was very motivated by treats and praise. Through repetition and treats he learned all the basic commands. I have petsat many times for family members over the years. Pets included are dogs (large and small breeds) cats, hamsters, and a bearded dragon once. My longest dogsitting experience lasted 3 weeks with my aunt’s pug, Coco Rico, while my aunt was on vacation. During this time, Rico had an ear infection and I had to administer his ear drops. Being a pug, I had to ensure his eyes and face folds were clean. I have catsit for my brother’s diabetic cat, Tuna Fish, on several occasions. I administered insulin injections daily. I learned how to measure the proper dosage and how to safely/comfortably give her the injections. She was diagnosed with diabetes in 2020, so it was not easy learning how to give a cat a shot via a Zoom call with the vet! But learning this and helping my brother with the insulin injections, kept Tuna going for 4 more years after diagnosis. This is by far the most medical care experience I have had with pets. Nowadays, I regularly borrow my Gen Z daughter’s dog, Espresso. He’s a Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix, and my favorite little guy. My grandpup, if you will. With this past winter being a very cold one in NYC, I ensured to dress Espresso in his sweater, coat, and boots for his walks. I do photo shoots with him while on walks, during play time, and naps. I update her with anecdotes throughout the day, such as mentioning any puppy pals we ran into while out and anything funny or adorable he’s done. She even recently said to me, “You take the most wonderful pictures of him.” That truly warmed my heart because I love capturing him in different places and poses. My pet baby now is an American short hair cat with calico patterned fur, named Basil (aka Ms. Lady Boop Boop). She’s a 16 year old, still feisty gal, who has a favorite fishy toy that dangles from a wand. Being a senior, she has developed arthritis in her old age and now makes use of cushioned stairs to get on the couch/bed. She also needs an eye ointment, the application of which has become part of our daily routine. In the past, when she has been ill, I've also given her medicine in liquid form via syringe as well as getting her to swallow a pill. Additionally, I took care of a feral cat that would visit me now and then. My family has a home in Albany, in upstate New York, and I'm happy to board dogs up there for weekends or extended stays should a pet parent allow it. The feral cat that would visit me was in Albany and would appear randomly in our backyard. I fed and watered him whenever he came by. He was deaf and the sweetest guy, who loved rubs and to hang out on our deck. He had an extra digit on each front paw, so I dubbed him Thumbs. One day, when he visited, I noticed immediately that he had fleas on him. I gave him a bath a kiddy tub in my backyard with flea shampoo. I bought the flea comb and collar and got rid of those pesky bugs. I know he was grateful because he'd been scratching so hard, his fur was missing in some places. I am a visual artist and writer, working from home, so my weekdays are flexible. I set my own schedule working on my projects so I can easily accommodate different pet types and time slots for care. I occasionally travel to my family home in Albany, upstate New York, but I always plan that ahead of time and I am happy to board pets up there if the pet parent is open to that option. I live in a 2-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn, NYC. I am located on the 3rd (and top) floor of a walk-up building. I have a senior, female cat, who is very relaxed and sleeps most of the day. There is no outdoor space here, but there are local parks nearby, including a dog run. I also have a house upstate, in Albany, NY. There is plenty of space for running around here, including a backyard. We are currently having a fence put in and I will update this when it is installed.
“My cat had SUCH a great time with Sunaia and her family. She sent me pictures / videos of Raven while I was away, and I could see through the progression how comfortable and safe Raven felt with them. When I went to pick up Raven, Sunaia had even left some extra toys for her because she saw how much she likes to play. Would 1000% recommend her to my friends and rebook with her in the future.”
“Andrea provided the best care to my two kitties! She was amazing in giving updates, following instructions and immediately made friends with my girls, who don't warm up to strangers quickly!”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience in dog training, beginning with my first dog, a Jack Russell Terrier. Through agility and obedience training with her, I developed a strong understanding of canine behaviour, communication, and structure. I provide long, structured walks tailored to each dog’s individual energy level, temperament, and needs. At the owner’s request, I also incorporate basic obedience training, behaviour correction, and work on specific challenges such as leash pulling, reactivity, or lack of focus. I am attentive, patient, and consistent in my approach, always prioritising safety, mental stimulation, and the overall well-being of every dog in my care. I'm currently free on weekdays and sometimes on weekends too, early mornings and afternoons fits for me. I'm flexible for changes in my schedule and can adjust it to yours as well The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they are in a clean, secure, and calm environment. After walks, I always wipe or wash their paws, and I can bathe them if needed. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, treats, routines, and any special requirements. If medication is required, I administer it responsibly and exactly as directed. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and comfort level to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.

Absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!
Thank you Rosandy and Edward for the genuine love and care you give to Blaze and Starlette. Whenever I am away for work, I have no worries, none, whatsoever about my cats. I appreciate Rosandy and Edward truly and deeply, and I know Blaze and Starlette does as well. Thank you.
We have booked Charlie to watch over our two cats twice already and will continue to do so. He is very attentive to their needs. When we returned home, their bowls were washed and spotless, the floor was swept and also spotless. He even offered to water our plants. He truly cares about your pet and we know that our cats are left in excellent hands.
Laura has been taking care of Flurry regularly for the past few weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. She is thoughtful, organized, respectful, and compassionate, and I especially appreciate how much she adapts to Flurry’s individual preferences. He’s a very easily scared kitty, but Laura is incredibly patient and gentle, taking the time to build his trust drop-in by drop-in. I’m confident that he’ll continue to slowly open up to her, and Ill continue to book her services :)
Tedy is everything you're looking for in a cat sitter. She is attentive, warm and treated our cats as if they were her own! Her amazing care and excellent communications made us so happy while we were away, knowing our furbabies were in capable hands. Thank you so much Tedy! We are so lucky to have found you!
You could not ask for a better person to look after the dearest members of your household. On top of being timely, communicative, professional, and incredibly friendly, Fiona cares about animals and doing right by them to a degree that I could not have imagined. Anybody would be lucky to have Fiona watch their animals.
I recommend Dorothy who took care of my cats while I was away for five days. She came twice a day to feed them, give them fresh water and refresh their litter boxes. My cats are afraid of strangers and they hid the entire time despite her efforts to befriend them, but they’re like that with everyone. When I came home, both cats looked well and the house was clean and well cared for. Dorothy followed my instructions for feeding them and sent me detailed updates of her visits every day. I usually hate to leave my cats but I felt they were in good hands with Dorothy.
Sylvia is incredibly helpful, responsive, and communicative. She has gone above and beyond with each visit. Most importantly, my cats are comfortable with her and well cared for. It makes being away so much easier knowing they’re in good hands. I highly recommend booking with Sylvia!
Carolina is AMAZING! I just recently moved into my apartment, and was anxious about finding someone to take care of my dog (Staffie mix) and my cat - both senior pets - during a trip to visit family. I'm so glad I chose Carolina, she was absolutely fantastic - extremely professional, caring, and communicative throughout the visit, and I could tell from the first photo she sent that my pets were in great hands. The neighbors in my new building also had great things to say about her once I returned. I'm so grateful for her expert care, and definitely plan to book her again. Highly recommended!
