“Sara was flexible, kind and communicative. Plus my shy cat warmed up to her right away! We’ll definitely use her in the future. Thank you!”

Samantha B.

“We had a great experience with this husband-and-wife team. They took great care of our cat—feeding him, scooping the litter, and spending time playing and giving him attention. They also sent photos each visit, which we really appreciated, and always made sure to sweep up any litter on the floor. Everything was clean and well cared for when we got home. We’d definitely recommend Lisa and Michael.”

Lynn C.

“D’Andre was a big help, came through last minute for me to take care of Rex while I was away for a trip. He was very nice to Rex, attentive and even took care of doggy spill Rex had. Super communicative during the visit and I’m glad I hired him and will hire him more in the future.”

About: I’m the person that family and friends go to when they want advice on how to teach dogs fun tricks. Also, I’m really good at telling dogs breeds apart which is fun when I’m out. I work part time on weekends and have classes early in the morning. So the rest of my time can be spent with your babies aka your pets. I have a big backyard that’s fenced in and all three of my dogs don't care for other dogs. As my two newest are shelter dogs I wont accept pets at my home for the time being. Im very patient with animals as I’m the one that cares for my dogs. I treat animals almost similarly to children as thats how I see my own.

“Punctual and very professional. Will definitely engage again. Thank You ! Great job !”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, both small and big! I absolutely love furry friends and have one of my own. I have a small, older cockapoo named Riley and I’ve taken care of him since he was a puppy and I was in 8th grade - I actually had to pitch an entire care plan to let my mom allow me to have him! I work entirely from home and have a calm, quiet environment. I work entirely from home and have breaks throughout the day where I’d be able to play with your furry friend! I work both during the day and overnight, and will be able to tend to your dogs needs hourly at the very least! I have a fenced yard and a small cockapoo who is calm and friendly. I have a small crate as well if that is supportive for your pup! My home is calm and stress-free. You can count on regular updates, photos, and honest communication while your pup is in my care!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was very little, I have grown up around animals from having my own dogs and cat to being the neighborhood's trusty petsitter. I have had my own clients since I was 10 years old and have been building trust and my love for animals since then. I also have experience in two different kennels and boarding centers so I am aware of communication patterns especially in scared and nervous pets. I am very familiar with pets of all ages from puppies to senior care and administering medication. I am here to make everyone feel comfortable with their pet care! To bring love to the animals and comfort to the owners! My life revolves around animals, I cannot live without them. I see my kitten daily and she is the light of my life. I enjoy any moment I get to interact and care for animals :) I am more than happy to provide care in the clients home as well as the outdoors. My office is the street and dog park, making the dogs as comfortable and safe as possible while giving them exercise. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own environment where they can fully be themselves. I love caring for pets in their own space, that way I can maintain their safety and stress.

“Amanda took amazing care of all of my animals. I am so grateful that she treated them as if they were her own. Nothing eased my mind better than knowing this while away in another country. Daily updates & photos were eagerly awaited by my daughter, especially. We highly recommend her for watching your fur babies.”

“Very great at communicating will be using again!”

About: I’ve had dogs most of my life and take care of family and friends pets frequently and can be relied on to care for yours. Im currently working part time and that allows me plenty of time to be available to pet walk or sit on the days I’m off. As a more mature pet sitter you can trust me to be available to care for your fur babies as I understand how much you love them and are looking for a trusted friend .

About: I've been involved with dog care and training since the age of 11. Dog grooming NYS certified and a dog handler. I also have 2 dogs of my own that I train, groom, and care for. I'm currently unemployed with a very busy schedule. This will ensure that I have plenty of time to care for and spend time with your pets. I am well educated on the overall wellbeing of your pet. This includes safety and health. I am committed to keeping your pet safe and happy.

About: I’m new on this platform, so I don't have any reviews yet, but I'm looking forward to the opportunity to care for your precious fur baby. I've always loved animals and grew up surrounded by pets. My parents bred Pomeranians, and as a teen I had a Sheltie who I absolutely adored. Over the years, I’ve cared for friends’, coworkers’, and even my boss’s pets while they were away, making sure they stayed on schedule with meals, exercise, and attention. Last year, I took a sabbatical during which I traveled the country largely through pet sitting. During that experience, I cared for a wide variety of pets—from young, energetic pets to seniors, and from energetic Border Collies and Newfiedoodles to independent outdoor Calico cats and affectionate indoor Russian Blues. I loved and cared for each of them as if they were my own. I’m attentive to established routines and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I understand how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, well cared for, and loved while you’re away. Since I work full time, my availability is primarily evenings and weekends for dog walks and drop-ins. I can also assist with morning cat feedings on my way to work when timing and location allow. I’m open to weekend house sitting with advance notice and aim to provide consistent, reliable care for every pet. I genuinely enjoy forming bonds with animals and creating a calm, consistent environment for them while their owners are away. To me, this means closely following their established feeding, exercise, and play routines while also giving them plenty of care and affection. As someone who is dependable and detail-oriented, I treat every pet and home with the same respect and attentiveness I would my own. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible.

About: I’ve had a dog pretty much my whole life, so I’m very used to taking care of them and being around them every day. I also spend a lot of time around my girlfriend’s cat and help take care of her, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats. I genuinely love animals and I’m someone you can trust to make sure your pet is well taken care of and gets plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m a commuter engineering student at Stony Brook, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and spend a lot of my week at home. Most days I’m only on campus for a few hours at a time, and I’m free all day on Saturdays. I do have an occasional longer class day, but even then I’m able to plan around your pet’s schedule. A lot of my schoolwork is done on my laptop, so when I’m pet sitting I’m happy to study and do my work from your home, which means I can spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day. I also usually go to a local gym for about an hour and a half in the evening, but otherwise I’m around and can be pretty flexible. I’ll follow whatever routine you already have for your pet so they can stay as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’m active and in good shape, so I’m more than happy to take dogs on long walks or give them as much exercise as they’re used to. I can handle feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, litter boxes, and whatever else is part of their normal routine. I’m also completely comfortable sleeping with your pets if that’s what they’re used to, or giving them their own space so it’s really whatever you and your pet are most comfortable with. I’m happy to send pictures and updates too so you know they’re doing well.

About: Being around animals and making them feel happy is the best feeling to have. I have 2 dogs and cat, and they always manage to make my day. I have plenty of great places to adventure with your companion while you are busy! I have school online which makes me completely free! I am studying and practicing things that make me happy with my free time, (which there is plenty of) So, your dog/ cat will fit into my schedule perfectly! I live very close to many dog-friendly parks, and enjoy hiking, especially with a four-legged companion. I will take any opportunity to go on a long walk! It would be nice to take a dog with me sometime. I also bake, and have made dog treats for my Boston Terrier at home who might love peanut butter more than me... I'd love to share my hobbies with your pets!

About: Ever since I could remember, I have been caring for pets. Growing up in a farm-like home, with every anymore you could think of, from horses to ferrets, I have been in love with animals. They have been my life since I could remember. As a little girl my dream was to become a Veterinarian but the cards simply did not pan out. My schedule allows for some flexibility, but I do have a full time job that MAY sometimes interfere, hence the reason for the 3 day advanced notice, to allow me to coordinate or allow potential clients to find alternative sitter options. Our dogs run the house, we have a fenced in back yard as well as a half an acre fenced in horse coral that is currently not being utilized for its primary purpose, but being used so the fur babies have even more room to get some energy out.

“Samantha has been fabulous for the last 3 months with regular visits. Her love to our furry-kiddos and kind heart, have been fantastic and highly recommended.”

“Megan was so awesome! Super responsive and took great care of our baby boys ❤️”

Danielle Z.

“Maria was absolutely fantastic, she provided photos and detailed feedback after each visit. Maria is very attentive and also kept my plants alive while I was away! Will definitely rebook”

About: Hi! I’m Chelsea, owner of Paws By Chels. I offer reliable drop-in visits, walks, and personalized boarding with a calm, low-stress environment for your pets. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even small farm animals like chickens, and I truly treat every animal like family. I specialize in drop-in care for busy owners who want their pets to stay comfortable in their own home while still receiving plenty of attention, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and love while you’re away. For boarding, I offer three private suites/rooms to help keep your dog comfortable, relaxed, and stress-free. I am crate-free unless your dog is already crate trained and comfortable using one. My goal is to provide a safe, cozy, home-style environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving your pets with someone, so I always provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, attentive, and responsive. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine. I make time in the mornings and evenings for walks, feedings, and playtime, and I love building my schedule around making sure pups get the attention they deserve. On weekends, I’m extra flexible and can spend more time outdoors for longer walks, adventures, or just keeping your dog company. Whether it’s sticking to a set routine or adding a little extra play, I make sure caring for pets fits seamlessly into my day. In my home, pets get a safe, cozy environment where they’re treated like family. I stick to their feeding schedule, provide plenty of potty breaks, and make sure they get playtime, walks, and snuggles. If they’re crated, I keep them comfortable and on their normal routine so they feel at ease. In a client’s home, I always respect your space and your pet’s routine. I make sure food, water, walks, and potty breaks happen right on schedule, and I give them the attention and love they’d get if you were home. I keep things clean, send updates and photos, and make sure your pup feels secure until you return.
