“Lucy did a fantastic job with Roxy. Roxy doesn’t normally warm up to new people very fast, but when she met Lucy she immediately started asking for pets. Lucy also sent tons of cute photos and Roxy seemed to be having a great time playing with her. Will absolutely be booking Lucy in the future.”
“My 2 cats were very skiddish to start, but by the end of Rachelle’s time dropping in on them, they had both warmed up to her completely. I will definitely be back for her services again!”
“I felt comfortable leaving my 2 cats to be cared for by Alyssa. She was able to drop in prior to the booking to get instructions and communicated well. The cats are very shy - practically feral - but she was still able to snap a photo. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Arley took great care of my very snuggly cat Pepper! I really appreciated having the chance to meet in advance and hear about the other animals that she cares for in the neighborhood. Very communicative and sent lots of photos during the visits.”
“Shanna is amazing I trust her 100% and she is reliable and most importantly she takes good care of her clients. Thank you giving me peace of mind when I’m away.”
“Brittany goes above and beyond to keep my pets happy while I’m away! Also my kitties love her, and they’re picky about people. She’s my first choice to take care of my babies when we’re away!”
“Bazarkul is AMAZING! She took such good care of our 4 cats and 100s of plants!! She is extremely dedicated to individual care and gave all of cats specifically what they needed. The cats adored her. The smallest, a feral kitten that we are fostering required extra care when he was injured outside and Bazarkul was able to tend to his wounds with care & ease. In addition to her care, she provided wonderful updates, photos & videos. All these details made our trip stress-free. The garden looks great and the cats are all happy; we will definitely be booking Bazarkul for future trips!!”
“Ashton was so great with Bryce. The level of care that Ashton provided for Bryce was great as well. I was away for about a week for vacation but felt at ease knowing that Bryce was taken care. Thank you for everything!”
“Ariella provides excellent cat sitting services. She is 100 percent reliable. She takes time to enjoy each cat- and understands their individual personalities and needs. The cats are very happy when she comes over- even greeting her on the stairs. We have been using Ariella for the past couple of years and will continue to use her. Highly recommend her if you want peace of mind.”
“Torry was excellent with my Cane Corso and Yorkie. He was diligent with his care and confidently controlled my pup. He was clearly the right person to care for my pet and anyone else’s. I will be using his services again and would recommend to anyone. Thanks Torry!”
“Brittany did a great job taking care of my puppy. She was reliable and good with communicating. I highly recommend her and if Maya could talk she would agree. I am very happy with the care she gave”
“Keti was wonderful with my cat, I’ve never seen him so friendly with a stranger. He was the happiest I’ve ever seen him after coming back from a trip. She did a great job taking care of him and we couldn’t be happier.”
About: Growing up in Ireland I had my own dog a cavalier King Charles which I took care of every day. I’ve lived in Rockaway Beach NY since 2012 with my husband and my son aged 9 who will be helping me walk your dog. We got him a dog for his 4th birthday and he knows how to be caring and kind towards animals. We’ve had rabbits who gave birth twice and we learned all about taking care of small bunnies (kits). Also a pug who at the time we didn’t know was pregnant and she gave birth to 4 puppies. It was a learning and most enjoyable experience for both of us! We are very reliable and responsible and look forward to caring for your pet whenever you may need additional help. I work full time but I am available after school hours and most weekends. I am teaching my son at an early age how to be reliable, punctual and professional for a job while also doing something we can enjoy together while we are walking or taking care of your pets. I work full time Monday to Friday but I am available after school hours and most weekends. We offer flexible hours to help you out. We keep our dog in our house we also have a back yard he can go into so he can play ball with my son.
