About: I’ve been living with and raising animals since I was a child. I Over 27 years of experience with animals. I currently have a fur baby of my own that is very well loved and pampered. Due to having our own fur baby I am always home or close in the vicinity to check in, care for or spend some quality time. I have a fenced in yard for your fur baby to run free in. I also have a dog to keep your fur baby company or I can keep them separated.
About: I have 20+ years of caring for animals of all types. My own dog was unfortunately allergic to grass and almost every type of food. He needed to receive weekly injections in the nape of his neck which I would administer as well as following his prescription protocols to the tee. As the general manager of several different Petcos and PetSmart's, I have amassed quite a bit of knowledge about many animals, especially dogs. I am a nutrition specialist, have experience in grooming, am knowledgeable of natural and medicinal ways to calm hyperactivity, and have extensive experience in many different types of training from proper walking, issuing commands, house breaking, interacting with other dogs, and multiple other aspects of whatever is necessary. If I cannot answer your questions, the trustworthy contacts I have amassed throughout my tenure at these establishments would be more than happy to help with their vast wealth of information. I have also had the unpleasant experience of helping dogs who are experiencing life threatening health complications and know what I am capable of, an also when it is time to seek medical attention. All credentials aside, I truly do love and appreciate animals of all kinds and can't wait to meet yours! I currently work part time and my job is a 2 minute drive from my house so your animal will never be left alone for more than an hour or less. I have a fenced in yard with trees on all sides. I live across the street from an elementary school with a massive fenced in field which is where I like to walk and play fetch and other games with dogs. I have been given carte blanche by the workers there as I have lived here for so many years so I can come and go as I please without any interference.
“Best day care!! They had a doggy baby shower, how cool is that?!! Cosmo had so much fun!! Drop-off and pick up was super easy. We are definitely bringen Cosmo back. Thank you for being such an incredible host”
About: Here’s a combined description for both cats and dogs, incorporating your experience with each: Hi, I’m Anna! I’ve spent 33 years caring for cats and 8 years working with dogs, providing loving, personalized care for pets of all ages. Whether it's walking dogs, administering medication to senior pets, or providing cuddles and attention during overnight stays, I’m here to ensure your pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. My own calm cats, Dracula and Mina, have been with me since they were kittens (they are now 12 & 10 years old), so I know just how unique each pet’s needs can be. From playtime to medication or just keeping them company, your furry family members will be in caring hands with me! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine because I run a hair care and aerial silks entertainment business, both of which offer me a lot of flexibility. This gives me plenty of free time to dedicate to watching dogs and providing the attention they need. I enjoy balancing my professional work with caring for animals, and I’m able to adjust my schedule to ensure your pets get the best care possible! When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize their comfort and safety. If necessary, I can set up a separate room away from my cats to ensure a calm environment for the visiting pet. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and opportunities for exercise. In my clients' homes, I follow their routines and preferences, ensuring their pets feel secure and loved. I make sure to adhere to any specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and medication. My goal is to create a stress-free atmosphere for pets, whether they’re in my home or their own.

About: I am deeply passionate about animal welfare, proudly volunteering as an approved foster for several NYC-based rescues. Over the past year alone, I've had the privilege of fostering over 20 dogs rescued from high-risk shelters. (Facing euthanasia) This experience has exposed me to a diverse range of breeds, behaviors, and medical needs, including administering medications such as eye drops, ear drops, liquid medicine via syringe, topical treatments, and tablets. I also have experience administering both vaccinations and microchips. In a particularly challenging but rewarding moment, I assisted my foster dog during birth and provided critical medical care to one of her puppies. Through my dedication to animal care and my extensive fostering and personal pet ownership experience, I have gained invaluable knowledge and skills that make me feel confident in my pet caring abilities! I am an elementary school teacher with many breaks. I am typically free after 3:30 PM on weekdays, and I’m free all day on weekends! I have a dog friendly environment. I work in rescue and am equipped to help out in urgent situations such as medical problems that arise.
“Stephanie was an incredible sitter for Ollie! She sent us photos of him throughout the day and kept us updated because he seemed a bit fearful at first. Stephanie’s care and love for pets shined through, and Ollie warmed up to her so quickly! I can’t recommend her enough and would absolutely hire her again.”
About: *I can do doggy daycare for multiple pets ONLY IF they are from the same family.* For the past 3 years, I've dog sat for small, medium, and larger dogs, and both older, younger, hyper-active and hyper-dormant animals! I love dogs and cats of all ages and all levels of trusting. I have experience walking dogs, watching animals overnight, and recognizing signs of either sickness or a change in behavior. I also have experience with reading animal emotions, and this has always helped me to get along well with the pets I'm sitting to make sure I don't overstimulate them or make them feel scared! I'm available all day on every weekday and almost all day on the weekends! I typically am only doing homework in the afternoons, and I normally go to the cat cafe to study, as I love to be around animals when I'm doing work, coloring, or even just relaxing because it brings me comfort. In my house, I have my own room with a shared living space, which is quite spacious, and I have fenced yard which is well-kept and trimmed regularly. In my home, I care for pets who like to roam by letting them roam outside or in my room. I also set up a separate area in the room which the animal has to themselves, so they have a reference place for relaxing, sitting down, and food and water if they don't want to chill with me on my bed/ get my attention all the time. In the client's home, I would want the animal to feel as comfortable as possible, so making sure the animal can go where they want to, and allow them to guide me where they want to go. Regardless of the environment, I will always place myself where the animal is, so if they want to go outside, I'll move my things outside until they want to go back inside; I don't want them to feel confined! I will allow a pet on my bed, but it depends honestly on how much they shed because then that makes my life a bit harder.
“Michelle was absolutely amazing. From the first message she was great. I explained to her all the backstory on my recently adopted rescue and she put us at ease right away. She was very understanding and didn’t shy away from a potentially skittish pup. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos and put our minds at ease. I’m very happy with the care she provided my pup and would absolutely recommend her services if you’re in need of someone to watch out for your furry friend.”
About: I believe that pets need individualized attention and needs. I ensure that senior pets receive the gentle care and attention they need, whether it's administering medication or simply providing companionship. I'm also attentive to each pet's individual needs and personalities, which helps create a comfortable and loving environment for them. This combination of skills allows me to cater to a wide range of pets and ensure they feel secure and happy while in my care. If you have any specific questions or would like to know more, feel free to ask. I am currently doing this full time so your pet will have my undivided attention. I will be able to take them for walks, play in my enclosed backyard and make sure all theirs needs are taken cared of. I have a fenced in yard. I have an entire home where your pet will be able to roam freely around and find there spot!
“Daisy had a blast with Jonathan! The best part about his service is that he's flexible with our schedule (when we can drop off and pick up). He followed our feeding instructions and kept sending us photos and videos of Daisy, which my partner and I appreciated so much. We are very satisfied pet parents. We highly recommend Jonathan's service to our fellow pet parent/s!”

She has always had such a great way with Luna on sticking to the trainings that we agreed upon, her food routine and her walks. Being loving yet structured was a great strategy addition for Luna. Hana is extremely loving, very consistent, informative and professional. She is very observant and can sense when Luna is bothered, bored or has a new issue that needs to be dealt with, she then directly communicates it and we find a solution for it together. I 100% recommend Hana to walk or sit your loved pets. Her presence and care are just impeccable!”

I felt very secure knowing they were in such capable hands. I would absolutely ask her to watch them again, without hesitation!”

17. Siu-Lin S.
“I can’t recommend Siu-Lin enough as a dog sitter! From the beginning, she was communicative, reliable, and definitely attentive to my dog. She went above and beyond; sending regular updates, adorable photos, and making sure all routines were followed exactly as requested, and even asking specifics about things I hadn't thought about that could affect my dog. She almost even spoiled my dog by giving them plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. If you're looking for someone who is responsible, attentive, and truly loves animals, seriously look no further. I would let Siu-Lin watch my dog every weekend if I could lol”

He is patient, loving, and attentive, making sure that every dog he cares for feels comfortable and valued.
