“Elena watched my 15 week old puppy, Saylor, while I was home for a family emergency on Staten Island. She visited Saylor for several walks throughout two days. Elena was extremely trustworthy, always on time (if not early) and entirely engaged with Saylor for the full visit! I highly recommend Elena for any pet help you may need!”
“Noelle and her husband Victor did a phenomenal job with my two kitties again! I had left very specific instructions and they were followed to the T! They took care of them like they were their own! Fed them, played with them, and gave them plenty of love, even my skittish boy came out for them! I will be rebooking Noelle again in the future!”
About: *DOGS MUST BE GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS AND CATS* (I have TWO CATS and A DOG!!) My times for daycare are 8 am - 6 pm ONLY! (Mon-Fri) I have had dogs since I was a child. I’ve always had a love and care for any animal no matter the breed or size. During college, I worked at a vet as a daycare kennel assistant where I gained knowledge on the care of dogs. I know how to walk dogs, bathe them, cut their nails, etc. I work from home so I’m able to look over your fur baby! My boyfriend helps me from time to time and will help me look after any animal I have. I do go to the gym every so often so your dog needs to be able to be by themselves at least 1 hour, either crate trained or is able to be out without scratching or destroying anything. I have a fenced yard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I have a border collie mix and 2 cats in my house who are used to being around other dogs and mostly keep to themselves! If needed, my cats are able to be separated from your fur baby.
“I’m truly grateful for the care Neve provided. We have two cats one is very old. Neve went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. A complete professional who displayed tremendous compassion to our cats. I can’t thank her enough.”
About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant in an animal hospital, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs, I’m confident handling a wide range of personalities and medical needs. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently attend college Monday-Thursday during short morning or afternoon hours; typically in class between 8am-12pm or 2pm-6pm. I also work overnights as needed on Fridays and Saturdays (3 shifts a month). When caring for pets in your home, I follow their routine exactly to keep them comfortable and stress free. I make sure they’re safe, well-fed, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and love: just like if you were there.

“Melisa's cat-sitting service was excellent. We were glad to come home to find Benny happy, well-fed, and given lots of attention - and the apartment was kept clean. Our cat has special needs so it was a relief to be able to rely on Melisa's dependable communication and dedication to her work. It's clear she has a lot of love and compassion for pets!”
“Oleg was nothing short of incredible. My wife and I were traveling for our wedding and we hadn't used Rover before. Oleg put any nerves we had about leaving our pets alone at ease. He was communicative, caring, and you could tell he really enjoyed playing with the cats. He stayed later than required in all three visits and blew up our phones with pictures and videos. I highly recommend Oleg and would definitely book him again.”
“Beth was a God send. She is dependable, reliable and attentive as you are expecting from a person who is in care of your animal and home. I will certainly call Beth back for future sittings. 👍👍”

“Adriana is the only person I can trust with my precious Pug Hank. He doesn’t walk very well and she incredibly kind and patient with him. Hank takes a few medications and she administers them on time and sends me a text. He can only chew a few treats and Adriana always knows what he can and cannot have . She is very diligent when out for walks and has spent the night at my apartment with him when I’m traveling for a few nights. I trust her implicitly and I feel at ease knowing she minds Hank the way I would. Highly recommend.”
