Pet Sitting Red Hook

About: I'm a patient and attentive animal-lover with many years' experience handling others' pets as well as my own. I've leash-trained my own dog since he was a puppy and am very tuned in to the mood and energy of dogs generally. I've studied dog breeds since adolescence and understand the traits, habits, and needs of different breeds (terrier vs. hounds, working breeds vs. toy, mixed breeds, etc). I also have several years' experience with cats, having 2 of my since they were kittens. I'm a writer and artist, so I can make my schedule flexible around my bookings and whatever pet care may be needed. I am looking for both reoccurring clients and clients with sporadic care needs. I care for pets by adhering closely to the client's instructions. I return pet items where found and only provide treats if approved by the pet parent. If the pet has any quirks or special needs — habits, triggers, harness wear, etc. — I take note.

“So grateful Trinity stepped up last minute to drop in our cat after a friend had to cancel. Great communication throughout including complete rover card reports with photos! Highly recommend.”

“Layla walked my pup Phoebe for the first time recently. I haven't met her in person yet, but she seemed great on the phone and was very responsive and adaptable! I am planning to her again in the future for housesitting as well as walking.”

About: I love all animals and am happy to care for any pet! I grew up with a variety of pets in the house and have worked at a barn, so my care experience is broad. Over the years I’ve had my own puppies and senior dogs so I am well equipped with the patience and experience needed at all stages of life. I often care for cats and dogs of friends and family and am excited to help care for your pet! I currently have a flexible schedule, leaving me plenty of time to care for your pets whenever needed! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or boarding at my apartment anytime. I have a 10 yr. old shih tzu who loves to make new pet friends. He’s a friendly and calming presence, used to sharing his home with other dogs and cats. As a trusted sitter for friends and family, we keep a clean and organized apartment to ensure the best saftey for pets in our care.

“Paulina is the very best!! She truly cares for our cat and gives her lots of love every visit. I am so grateful that we connected with her. Can’t say enough good things about Paulina :)”

“Monika is an excellent cat sitter. She took extra time to meet and greet with us and our baby, asked lots of valuable questions about his normal routine and care, and was very good at communicating during visits.”

“Lena did a terrific job. She sent so many pictures and videos of our sweetie each day we were gone. You could tell how much our cat loved the affection and play time with Lena. Highly recommend Lena.”

“I had a great experience with Anne-Charlotte and highly recommend her. She was fantastic with my puppy and followed all of the care guidelines I provided. She was also very communicative throughout the stay, sending updates and making me feel confident that my puppy was in good hands. What really stood out was how much she helped with potty training. It had taken me—and even other sitters—quite a while to make progress, but Anne-Charlotte was clearly experienced. Overall, Anne-Charlotte was responsible, attentive, and genuinely great with my dog. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

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.

“Marie is a real cat person ! We felt so great having her watch our kitties while we were gone. Our cats loved her and she was very communicative and responsive. Would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
