Pet Sitting Soho

About: I grew up around animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. More recently, my girlfriend and I have been caring for two cats of our own, so pet care is a regular part of my everyday life. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, whether that means giving an energetic dog a good walk, spending time playing with a curious cat, or simply keeping a more relaxed pet company. I’m attentive to feeding instructions, routines, house rules, and anything else that helps a pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m also dependable and communicative, and I’m happy to send photos and updates so owners know their pets are in good hands. My schedule is fairly flexible, which makes it easy for me to fit walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime into my day. I’m especially available around Lower Manhattan and can often accommodate both regular weekly routines and occasional visits when owners are away or busy. I take each pet’s routine and environment seriously and always follow the owner’s instructions closely. In a client’s home, I make sure doors and windows are secure, food and water are handled properly, litter boxes or feeding areas are kept clean, and pets get the right amount of attention, exercise, and downtime for their personality. I’m careful, respectful of the home, and attentive to any changes in a pet’s behavior. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is safe and comfortable.

“Elisabeth took such great care of my dog, Meadow, while I was away for the weekend. I was able to enjoy my trip not having to worry and knowing she would show her lots of love. She gave great pictures and notes as well.”

“Jesse was GREAT with Moby. He is clearly a dog lover and Moby, an anxious dog, quickly took to him. Jesse was also very responsive and responsible - wanting to make sure he knew everything he needed to know about Moby. Can’t wait to have him care for Moby again!”

About: Hi! I’m Daniela, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm, so I was surrounded by animals from a young age and learned early on that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. After moving to the city, I had the joy of raising my dog, Max, and my cat, Mia, from their baby days all the way through their senior years. Caring for them taught me so much about the importance of a balanced diet, regular exercise, patience, and, of course, lots of love and cuddles. As they got older, I also learned how important it is to pay attention to the little changes that help pets stay happy and comfortable. I know how much our pets mean to us because mine were family. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I work remotely and so my hours are really flexible with the majority of them being outside typical EST hours (early morning or night time) Can easily crate your dog if needed. Happy to follow whatever directions are provided and am good at communication if I do have any questions I will reach out

“Mary is a fantastic cat sitter! She was so communicative & so great with my cat! She fed him, cleaned his litter, and played so much with him!! I also got so many great photos :)”

About: I’m very experienced in taking care of dogs with physical and/or mental disabilities, both my own dogs or dogs of family members/friends. I understand the strict nature of diets and medication times, and I have experience taking care of dogs post-op, whether it’s from their being spayed, back surgery, etc. What truly sets me apart, though, is that I have experience with epileptic animals. I have a Chihuahua who gets seizures, and understand common procedure to prevent the dog from hurting themselves, myself, or the property of the home. I’m also experienced with the detailed documenting of these events. I’m more well versed with small and medium dog breeds, and specifically I’m an expert with chihuahuas as I’ve owned two for eleven years! I’m currently in college with few credit hours. I don’t take classes on Fridays, and during the school week I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings to take care of your babies! I’m very strict about medication times, feedings, potty breaks/walks, and play time with my own dogs, and intend to bring this discipline to your own pets. I’m also a very clean person, and will happily take care of any messes that may be produced by myself or your pet!

“One of the best sitters I’ve had. She was so thoughtful, proactive, communicative, and kind. Absolutely recommend and will be hiring Hannah again!”

“Ava took great care of our cat! It was clear from her photos & updates that our cat was happy, healthy, and comfortable. Prior to booking she was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. We highly recommend Ava and hope to book with her in the future.”

Alaina M.

“Melissa was awesome! I booked her last minute and she was my first ever Rover booking so admittedly was a little nervous, but she quickly put my fears away. She was patient with all my instructions, sent photos and a nice message after every check in, and always made me feel comfortable knowing Sal was in good hands. I would book her again! Thanks so much Melissa.”

Belen C.

“Over and above awesome. My babies got sick and not only did she clean them up for days, she took them to the vet and cared the whole way through my trip as if they were her own. Great find in a sitter!”

Brett B.

“This was our first time leaving our cat with a sitter and it went great. George was extremely responsive at all times and provided updates and lots of photos. Our trip was unexpectedly extended and when we needed an extra drop-in last minute George helped us out immediately.”

Diana L.

“I’m so grateful to Samantha for watching my cat while I was out of town. My cat can be pretty shy, especially around strangers but she really seemed to enjoy being around Samantha. She took tons of photos and incredibly detailed notes each day. I couldn’t ask for more.”

Alex L.

“Halley did a great job taking care of my cat! She sent detailed pictures and updates, and it was easy to see he was in great hands. I would definitely ask Halley to cat sit again!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was young, growing up around my neighbor’s Sheltie. Since then, I’ve dog sat a wide range of pups, from puppies to seniors. I’ve spent the most time with adult and senior dogs, including several with high anxiety and high energy. I’ve also lived with a senior dog myself, so I understand the extra care, patience, and routine that older pups often need. On top of that, I’ve dog sat for my parents’ Border Collie on several occasions, so I’m comfortable on a long, active walks. Add in my experience fostering rescue dogs, and I’ve learned to recognize what each individual dog needs. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible for walks, playtime, and routines throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s current schedule and will do my best to keep things consistent for them. On walks, I make sure their leash is snug and properly fitted to prevent any slipping. If they have a GPS tracker or AirTag, that’s even better peace of mind, since in the rare case they were to slip away, we’d be able to locate them quickly. In my apartment, I have great visibility on your pet at all times since I live in a studio, so I’m always aware and make sure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority.

“Bianca was SO great with my dog Lola! She never missed a scheduled day, came in routinely on time to check on her for drop-in visits 3 days a week, and would spend extra time hanging with Lola during their visits. Highly recommend :)”

“Vanessa is stellar. Incredibly communicative, considerate, really gets cats, and gave the most detailed check ins. Made me feel very secure and relaxed that my cat was in good hands. Planning to work together again already”

“I am so happy that I found Xiaochan to watch Mushu while I was away! She took such good care of her and always sent me plenty of pictures and kept me posted throughout. This was my first time leaving Mushu for an extended period of time, and I looked forward to receiving Xiochan's updates each day and really noticed a bond form between the two of them. My apartment was left spotless with a fresh litter box and a verry happy Mushu! Thank you Xiaochan!”
