Julie is awesome! Super accommodating for our last minute travel changes and our cat took to her immediately at meet and greet! She provided consistent updates and overall is just extremely kind and friendly person. We will definitely be rebooking!

Kyle was awesome. We have two big dogs. My Lab mix decided to be on his absolute WORST behavior when Kyle came for the meet and greet. I was a bit freaked out. Kyle however, maintained his calm, positive, easy going behavior and completely won our dog over. After the meet and greet I knew the drop ins would be fine. We're already planning on having Kyle back.

Stephanie is a reliable and super responsible dog sitter. We had to leave our dog for a week and knowing our dog was in the care of Stephanie really put us to ease. We are so grateful to her!

Risa did a wonderful job. We have 2 rambunctious pups and she kept them occupied for the entire drop in. She showed up at the designated time, submitted pics, and let me know how they were doing. I'd recommend her to anyone who is concerned or hesitant about hiring a dog sitter!

Noelle had done a beautiful job caring for our puppy while we’re away at work. Daisy likes her so much, and when we come home after Noelle has visited, she seems to have extra pep in her step. Thrilled to have found her. Thank you so much for your care!

Tracy was incredible watching my two dogs for a week. I had to go away and she stopped by for hourly visits and I can know this when I got home My puppies were happier than if they were left by themselves. She sent me daily photos and a quick update. I highly recommend Tracy for all your small ferry animal needs!

Ridge, NY, 11961

About: I have grown up with 4 dogs maximum in my house. I am super comfortable around any dog. Sweet, kind, aggressive, scared, anxious and whatever else you have to throw at me! I love dogs of all age! Puppies and old fur babies will be loved the same! Let’s connect! I am fairly open and will constantly communicate. I work at a dentist office and I clean pools in the summer! I’m also doing my masters online. I keep the house in the condition it was left to me, I’m able to take out the trash, water flowers and bring in mail. I will fully be in communication with the owners. The animals will always have their breakfast, dinner and treats! If medicine is needed, I will try my best to give that to them. Walks and playing in the backyard is a must! I am more than happy to share the bed with them as well. The most important factor is the endless cuddles!

Jamey visited my newly adopted senior cat three times a day for three days. She fed her, gave her medications, cleaned her litter box and kept her company. It’s so comforting to know that I can enjoy my little vacations while my cat is well cared for back at home.

About: I bring years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—including puppies, high-energy dogs, senior pets, and shy or special-needs cats. I’m comfortable with administering medications (oral, topical, and injections), caring for pets with anxiety, and supporting senior animals with mobility issues or extra comfort needs. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive nature and my ability to quickly bond with animals. I tailor each visit to fit your pet’s unique personality—whether that means structured play and training for a puppy, slow walks and joint care for a senior dog, or quiet companionship for a sensitive cat. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so I make sure litter boxes, food bowls, and pet spaces stay fresh and clean. I care for your pets like they’re family—because that’s exactly how they deserve to be treated. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I build my schedule around the needs of the fur babies I care for. Whether it’s morning feedings, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and dependable. I prioritize consistency and create a calm, familiar environment for each pet, making sure they feel secure even when their humans are away. Whether it’s a short visit or an extended stay, I’m fully present and committed to giving your pets the care and attention they deserve every single day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety, trust, and respect are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions to the letter, from feeding schedules and medication needs to favorite toys and hiding spots. I make sure doors, windows, and food storage are secure, and I’m mindful of any hazards specific to your home or your pets behavior. I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own—clean, tidy, and exactly as you left it. I also provide regular updates with photos or messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and in loving hands.

I love all animals and would love to hang out with your pup! I am available most weeks for the whole day if needed. I can stay with or occasionally drop by to feed, walk, and hang out with your pet! I ensure that both the pets and the homes are left better than they were when I came. My pets have always been treated with love and kindness, as all pets should be.

About: With over 9 years of pet sitting experience, I bring a strong passion for animal care to every home I go. I was raised around a variety of animals—including chickens, rabbits, cats, and dogs—and developed a strong understanding of their unique needs from an early age. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate, and attentive care when watching your pets, as I would want someone to do the same with mine. Pet care works great for my schedule because I work in a school during the months of September-May, Allowing me to be home by 3 PM, and I am off on the weekends. Starting in June, I have full availability to watch your pet throughout the day, which is great for when families would like to go on summer vacations, or need someone to check on their pet often. Depending on the service requested, I will always take your dog for a long walk. I love going for a walks, so having a furry friend be able to join me is amazing. If this is an overnight visit, besides playtime every few hours, there will be at least two long walks every day. Feeding will be done at normal breakfast and dinner time unless there is a specific schedule. I am also an online college student so being home with your pet while taking classes will be no problem if they require a little bit more attention.

Julie was absolutely wonderful with our cats, Ronnie and Sushi. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with cats. While we were away, she kept us updated and gave us real peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Ronnie and Sushi can be a bit particular, and Julie handled them with patience and care. When we got home, they were relaxed, happy, and clearly comfortable with her. It’s such a relief to find someone you can fully trust with your pets and your home. We would 100% recommend Julie and will definitely be using her again.

Julie is an absolute treasure. She treated our kitties as if they were her own fur babies. When we came home, our cats looked healthy and happy. I could tell that Julie really spent some great quality time with them. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs a Cat Sitter.
