“Tee is amazing! Always on time and on top of everything. Great communication… Keeps me informed throughout the visit. Thumbs up all around, would highly recommend!”

About: At home we have always had dogs, I love, I take care of and I am passionate about being a temporary dad, I have experience in games, walks and canine understanding. I work from home, we are my partner and I are in charge of our 4-legged guests, we love going out to the park and have a wonderful day. We have a baby named Maya, super playful and willing to make friends. A very large park nearby and a lot of fun at home.
“Alexis was wonderful with my dog and cat. She met them a week before. My dog instantly got along with her. Alexis has a very kind and caring aura to her that my pets picked up on and were comfortable with her right away. My husband and I will be reaching out to her for any future trips.”

“Kayla was wonderful! She was very attentive, communicated clearly throughout, and truly went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in such great hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“We truly hit the pet-sitter jackpot. I hesitate to leave this review for fear that Tammy will become so beloved across Rover she will no longer have time for us! From the moment we met Tammy, it was clear our cats were possibly in better hands than our own (honestly, they seemed a little disappointed when we came back). Updates were consistent, thoughtful, and often included photos that looked like they belonged in a pet lifestyle magazine—somehow capturing both chaos and cuteness in equal measure. Our home was cared for, our girls were happy, and we’re fairly certain they learned better manners while we were gone which raises some questions about our own management style. What really stood out was the genuine care and attention—this wasn’t just “checking in,” it was full-on VIP treatment. Visits weren’t rushed, playtime wasn’t optional, and every detail was handled like it mattered (because it does). If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and clearly loved by animals, stop looking—you’ve found them. Just be warned: your pets may start expecting this level of service from you afterward. I still haven't mastered Tammy's double-Churu-dispensing skills, and the judgment from our girls is palpable.”

“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!”

“Abigail was excellent with our dog. She was always on time and made sure Hazel got lots of exercise and attention when she visited. She listened to our needs and made sure to follow everything we asked of her and kept Hazel's routines as close as to what she was already used to. Our dog loved her and we will def be using Abigail again.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I truly treat animals like family, and I know how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable and updated while they’re away. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their normal routine. I’m dependable, communicative, and pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs — whether that means extra playtime for energetic dogs, patience with shy or anxious pets, or a slower pace and gentle care for senior dogs. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I’m used to planning my days around feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and consistency they need. I care for animals every day, including feeding and looking after stray cats in my area, so caring for pets feels very natural to me and is something I’m committed to year-round. I enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and giving pets companionship, exercise, and comfort while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and sleep schedules closely so pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship — not just the basics. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always know how their pet is doing. For dogs, I focus on safe walks, play, bathroom breaks, and making sure they get enough activity and affection based on their energy level and personality. For cats, I understand the importance of patience and routine, especially with shy or anxious cats, and I make sure litter boxes, feeding areas, and water stay clean and fresh. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and comfort and will always let owners know right away if something seems unusual. My goal is for pets to feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. 🐾
“Michael was so amazing with my senior orange Ray Cat. What a wonderful job giving him his medicine 2 times and day, brushing, playing and treats. I always get worried because my boy can be a handle full at times, but Michael was such a amazing person for Ray Cat. Highly recommend and I feel so safe having him as Ray's sitter. Again thank you so much!”
“Jenna was so sweet. We would 100% book her again. She was responsive, kind, and took cute pictures of our cat. She was great with medications and keeping us updated while we were away. She’s flexible and we will definitely book her again!”

“Excellent experience with Lin. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats had everything they needed. Communicating with every visit with pictures and details, letting us know the exact situation, was very helpful to keep us reassured everything was fine.”

“Alison was punctual & caring throughout her shifts. She sent photos of my kitties eating & being petted. Alison, did really well with scooping the liter box as well. I can see myself hiring Alison again!”


About: Hello fellow animal lovers. I am a Veterinary Technician with over 20 years of experience for caring for hundreds of dogs, cats, birds and any kind of animal you can think of. My husband Andres is also a vet tech with over 15 years of experience and he helps me take care of any of the pets I watch. I used to mainly watch dogs in my home but since Covid we had a baby and she is allergic to dogs so I can't board in my home anymore which makes me very sad. Hopefully my daughter will grow out of her allergies eventually because we really do miss having dogs in our home and she loves dogs too. So now I can only do drop in visits at your home for any type of pet. I am currently not working and am a stay at home Mom but my daughter is in school now so I can do drop ins during school hours and then after my husband comes home from work in the evenings. I have dedicated my life to caring for and helping all animals and I have loved every second of it. I have experience with every age, breed, species and medical problem. I have years of experience of caring for any illness, physical and behavioral problems and administering any medications or medical treatments necessary. I have had many dogs, cats and other small creatures of my own that i have loved and cared for over the years as well. I love taking dogs out to play and bringing them to the park or wherever they enjoy going to the most. I have a car and can travel to any part of Staten Island. Nothing makes me happier than spending time and playing with as many little fur babies as i can. You can set your mind at ease knowing that experienced, caring veterinary technicians are caring for your precious baby while you are away.

I have had many dogs, cats and other small creatures of my own that i have loved and cared for over the years as well. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs since i was an infant. I had a German Shepherd that was the same age as i was when i was a baby and we grew up together. He was my best friend and we did everything together and i still miss him to this day. I have had many German Shepherds and other dogs since then and have loved them all just as much as my first dog. I have dedicated my life to caring for and helping every living creature there is and i love them all. About my yard Large fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around and play. We love playing ball and Frisbee with all the dogs we watch and spending quality play time with everyone. My experience administering medication Yes. I have over 20 years experience of administering any medications needed and performing any medical treatments needed as well such as injections, sub q fluids, wound care and anything else needed. I am currently not working and am a stay at home Mom but my daughter is in school now so I can do drop ins during school hours and then after my husband comes home from work in the evenings. I can care for your pet in your home and drop in 2-3 times a day to feed them, walk them or let them out in your yard. Depending on the time of day I can stay awhile to play with them and give them the lovin they are missing from you while you're away. I know pets can be afraid sometimes with new people and I like to take my time to show them that they can trust me and I will love them as much as you do and help ease their fears if they have any. I have many years of learning animal behavior working as a Veterinary technician and learning to help fearful pets.

“Day 1 leaving our puppy home by herself was such an easy good day because of Durell. 🥰 She’s timely,‘communicative, loving, and very helpful/does anything I suggest or ask of her. Will keep using Durell & Michael again and again for our pup, Scoobie… She loves Durell, as well!”


“Jacqueline was amazing! She took such good care of our girl. Sent very thoughtful updates and photos!! Would definitely recommend Jacqueline, and hope to have her watch Ophelia again!”

“Delphi got along with my fairly shy cat (played with him and gave him treats) and was able to accommodate his special prescription diet very well! I would trust her to take care of Katsu any time.”

“Shes amazing! Very responsible, kind and patient. Huilin is the only person I trust to check on my little Eevee. Eevee is a nervous little bossy woman and Huilin is so gentle, understanding and patient with her. I’d give 100 stars if I could.”

Kayla did a wonderful job taking care of everything related to my cats. She followed all of my instructions carefully, cleaned everything very thoroughly, and paid close attention to the details. I really appreciated how reliable and thoughtful she was. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her help again!

Alexis is wonderful! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter! She put our family at ease when she met us and our two cats before our vacation. She listened and followed through on all their needs while we were away posting great photos and Rover notes after each visit. She is truly caring and made sure the cats had playtime and their medication. We will definitely be contacting her again for future trips!

Lin was amazing with Simba and Sydney! She took such great care of them, played with them, and treated them like her own. She even brought over a can of wet food for them to try, which was so thoughtful. I really appreciated all the updates and the love she gave them. She also brought a letter from her cat, Wednesday, and my cats loved it! I came home to two very happy cats. Thank you so much, Lin! I’ll definitely book with you again.

I want to say a huge thank to Maria for taking such wonderful care of my cat. Maria is very reliable, coming every day. Really appreciate how Maria gave her food, fresh water, and kept everything so clean. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Thank you so much.
Sophia was amazing! She came over and followed all directions necessary to take care of my cat while I was away. She sent photos and played with him during every visit. I could tell she is very experienced in pet care and I trusted her with my cat. I would definitely book her again. She was a delight and my cat enjoyed her company!

Spencer was great! My cat warmed up to him quickly! He fed and played with her like how I asked. He communicated well and promptly. I asked him to drop off my packages and mail while I was away. He also agreed to do a neccessary last-minute task of picking up recyclables that had spilled out on at the front. Very helpful too!

As always Noelle and Victor went above and beyond for our pups. Sundae is very timid and warmed up to them right away, that’s how you know they’re great. And Chili was super excited to see them which is no surprise, they’re besties lol. Thank you guys so much!!

I could not be happier with how Michael and Durrell took care of Jax. They took the time to get to know him before I went away and worked with him to the point he was making great progress. Jax is used to being just with me but Michael and Durrell had the patience to work with him til they were able to take him for walks and he’d showed them affection. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them for my next trip.

Above and beyond.... i never once felt any sense of concern leaving my cats in Sarah and Marias care. They were excellent care takers and lovely people. In fact i had to extend my stay and thats where they truly went above and beyond to help me out. I will definitely ask for them again if needed.
This is the second time Taylor has taken care of my 5 cats. She was great with them and they can sometimes be handful. One is on a special diet and others need to be monitored as they eat. She followed all instructions and sent great pictures. I would definitely trust her with my furbabies again.
