“Chloe is the absolute BEST! She is easy to communicate with, professional and nice! Our super shy cat always comes out for her and feels safe with her. She is our go to cat sitter and would recommend her 10/10!!!”
“Peter was excellent with our cat Vader! He was prompt, communicative, and above and beyond helpful. We were very appreciative of his help with our cat while we were on vacation. He gave us piece of mind when he would visit and we can’t thank him enough!”
“Alyssa took great care of my cat during 2 long vacations so far. Our cat is not always the easiest to care for, but Alyssa listened and respected our wishes and tread carefully around ZELDA, eventually winning her over. Communication was excellent, will be booking w Alyssa in the future!”
“I was very impressed with how Marilyn interacted with my cat at the meet and greet. She is very kind and has calm energy. She was a great communicator and detail oriented. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing that my pet was under her care. Would definitely book again!”
“Colleen is simply the best!! She took care of my cat for 5 days while I was out of state. She was very communicative and let me know each time when she arrived. She also provided a little note and photos each visit which I truly appreciate. I felt so relieved knowing my cat was happy and doing okay! I highly recommend Colleen and I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Danae did a great job caring for my two elderly cats. She contacted me right away if there were any concerns so that it could be resolved quickly. One of my cats is on a lot of meds and can get cranky sometimes when trying to pull him. She did a great job.”
“Tatyana took care of my 5 cats while I was away for 3 weeks. She did daily visits, fed them and cleaned after the cats like a pro. She sent pictures daily and reported about each cat one by one: their mood, behavior and eating habits. She was quick with replying back every time I reached out to her. I recommend her 10 out of 10.”
About: My partner and I live in Astoria with our dog Inky! We fostered a dog for 2 months and miss having a 2nd dog around! Currently we don't have time for a full time 2nd dog but would love to go on walks/ board other dogs with our 4 year old Inky. Both Steven and I have fostered dogs individually and together and we understand the priceless feeling of a worry-free boarding experience for dog parents! We feel that caring for other people's pet children is a true honor! I'm working part time and my partner Steven WFH some days. We go to the park most weekend mornings and like to spend the entire day with the dog(s). Whether it is at home snuggling on the couch, or at a dog-friendly coffee shop. We make sure to not leave small items (ex. airpods) laying around, garbage is thrown away, and the apartment is very much baby/dog-proofed in general.
About: I have 5 years of experience dog walking. I have been dog sitting on and off for the past few years. I have a dog of my own that I have had for 3 years. I treat your dog as if he or she was my own dog. I am very responsive while I watch the dog. I enjoy sending lots of pictures and updates to the owner. I used to have a dog named Princess who was alive for 13 years. She enjoyed snuggles a lot! I also had a dog named Harley. She belongs to my dad now. I've had my Benji Boy for 3 years now. I used to take care of Harley when my father went away on vacation. I made sure I fed her, walked her and gave her lots of attention. I also gave her treats if she was being a good listener. I feed Benji two times a day, I add water to his bowl about 4 times a day, I take him out in the backyard every 4 hours, I walk him early in the morning before I go to my day job. Benji is very friendly and loves being social with other dogs! I will make sure your dog is given lots of attention and love. I have open availability right now until I find a full time job. Please send a message to ask if I will be available during a specific holiday. I can walk your dog in the afternoon and make sure they are fed and have water in their bowls. I go to client's homes because I feel the dog will be more comfortable being in their own environment. Usually the dog is very comfortable being in their own home and is able to get comfortable with me. If there are any rules in the house, I follow them. I make sure to keep the common areas clean if I end up staying over someone's home.
“Alina was fantastic. I'm so happy I found her. She stepped in to take care of 2 cats 2 times a day for over 2 weeks on pretty short notice. Communication wasn't easy since I'm overseas in a different time zone but it worked. I loved getting her pics and notes everyday, seeing how well she cared for Tara and Kora. She obviously loves cats and I was thrilled to see how comfortable and happy they were with her. She went above and beyond for me and them. I highly recommend Alina and won't hesitate to book her again.”
“My first Rover Aya was such a great communicator, eased my worries of leaving my newly adopted cat for a few days. She was great with my kitty, played with her, followed all the care instructions so well and sent lots of pictures/video's. Highly recommend.”
About: Lifelong animal lover with experience from pups, kittens to senior dogs and even more recently deaf pets. Was raised with cats, dogs, and even reptiles. Pet care fits naturally into my life. Recently lost my 13yr old senior frenchie. I do work full-time weekdays but am available for evening feedings, walks, and weekend care. My 12 yr old son may be with me many times as this is also his passion. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort and safety come first. In my home, while space is modest, I offer a clean, cozy environment with a secure fenced-in yard for play and potty breaks. I'm attentive and patient. I also have a 12 yr old son who can keep your pet active if needed. My son actively entertained our frenchie and provided those extra special hugs. There will always be room for love and play. In your home, I follow your pet's routine closely to keep them calm and happy while you're away.
About: Having had two cherished pets throughout my childhood, I've always had a strong bond with animals. Plus, my boyfriend has five pets that I adore. From feeding and playtime to walks and snuggles, I have years of experience caring for all kinds of animals. Your pets will feel loved and well cared for with me! I am available all throughout the week! I am currently still looking for a part-time summer job, so I have plenty of time to care and love your pets at what ever time of day you need. I have taken care of dogs in all different environments, whether that be a fenced yard, crate training, electronic fence, etc. Whatever environment your pet is in I am willing to adapt to!
About: Animals are the center of my universe. I grew up with animals of all kinds; cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, birds, fish, ferrets. I’m currently a mom to a female golden retriever, two beautiful ferret daughters and a baby boy bird. I hope to retire one day and own an animal rescue farm. I believe it is our job as humans to give all sentient beings the absolute best love and care and to make sure they feel safe. I am keen to make sure wildlife is safe wherever possible. I’ll pull over on the side of the road to help turtles cross to the other side of the reservoir. On a daily basis I will prioritize every animal from the moment I wake up. I can and will do it all. Feeding, cleaning, walking, playing, giving them love and attention. As I mentioned above, animals are the center of my universe. I want each and every animal to trust me and feel safe with me while under my care.
“Jenny was amazing! We used her for the first time during our 8 day trip to Italy and she provided us with daily updates. Jenny also provided us with so many photos each day which was comforting. It seems like my cat had a great time with Jenny!”

It's easy to tell that her love of dogs is real because I have yet to hear a single complaint about the dogs she's fostered and taken care of. Honestly, sometimes I wonder who enjoys going on the walk more, the dog, or her! If you're looking for someone to love and care for your dog as much as you do, I can't imagine a better person to choose than Erisa.”

Lynda L.
“I have known Lynda a long time. We call her “Ellie Mae Clampett”. She is truly the most involved caregiver for animals I have yet to encounter in my 60+ years. Lynda has taken care of our 2 golden retrievers until these two dogs were 16 and 17 years old. She frequently involved herself with our English Shepard and now with our newer golden. A dedicated animal lover to the core. Lynda has also cared for an Eclectus parrot that was in our home for several years. That bird was very hard for anyone to get close to…Lynda did and handled him easily and with his permission. If there is anyone I would have in my home to responsibly take care of my animals…Lynda is a first choice always. Trustworthy and sincere should be her middle names.”
