Casey was great! She is super friendly and was patient with Bella, who can be a little anxious. She was responsive to my messages and arrived on time every day.

About: I have taken care of many dogs in my lifetime and I have also volunteered with a bunch of different shelters. Right now I cannot get my own pet, but would love to take care of yours! I’m currently a college student so I have all the time in the world to play with and walk your pups! When I am not in class, I am usually out and about walking around. I do not have a fenced in yard or any pets in my household, but I can assure you that they will go on many walks and get a lot of playtime!

About: I’ve had numerous cats, dogs, birds and a rabbit! I love animals and the unconditional love they give in return. I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your babies while you are gone and give you the piece of mind you are looking for. I’m retired and have plenty of time to play and check on your fur baby! I adore animals and will love yours as much as I love my own! Currently I am offering services in your home only as I have a high energy puppy in mine. If your dog also is high energy and wants/craves stimulation with a like minded pup, I’d be more than happy to see how they get along! My home has a fenced in yard as well as a doggie door, and my dogs go on numerous walks per day.

About: My family and I all love animals, so we applied to be pet's sitters at home care. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly clean to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. I have over a year of experience in taking care of cats and over six years of experience in taking care of dogs. The longest time I took care of a cat was for two months. At the beginning, the cat would hide under the sofa for a week, but lately he became completely unrestrained and would lie on the bed together, play hide-and-seek with me, and explore every corner of the house. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard. Welcome all cats and dogsto my home, we are the best friends of your pets! We can keep daily routine for all pet's. I am working part-time on weekends and I will come back at 4PM , but my family members are off on weekends. And my family members and I take care of all pets together. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly cleaning to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard.

About: I have lived with cats my whole life so I am very comfortable with them and know how to read them, even ones that are on the more temperamental side. I also have experience taking care of kittens. Dogs and cats both love me because I love to give them attention and am happy to play or cuddle with them. I have experience caring for dogs with challenges such as PTSD and anxiety. Currently this is my main job, so I have a lot of availability and can devote a lot of time and attention to your pet. I am happy to drive or take the train to your home in Nassau, Queens, or Brooklyn. I am available for short drop in visits or long term housesitting and overnight stays.

About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.

Juliana is wonderful ! We haven’t walked Dewy the last 2 days and totally forgot about the weather. I confirmed with Juliana then my husband reminded me it’s going to rain. She still came and took my boy to the dog park. The rain wouldn’t stop so I ask her to bring him back if the rain keeps on going. We can’t wait to see Juliana again in a nicer weather.

About: My partner Erick and I have spent our whole lives having and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, energetic dogs to the shy and skittish , and everything in between. We treat every pet like our own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. We both have school at the moment, but we have conflicting schedules so either one of us or we both are readily available for boarding, drop-in’s, walks and house sitting! We follow your pets’ routine closely. meals, walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks, so everything feels familiar and stress‑free for them. One of us is always checking in, whether it’s for extra potty breaks, fresh water, or just a little extra attention when they need it.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship. I’m very attentive when it comes to routines, comfort, and I always prioritize safety and patience. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s beloved animal. I’m open to caring for pets of any age or disability, and providing as much attention as needed. I have a college classes(online and face to face) throughout the week and a part time job( mainly 10-15 hours) but i mainly stay at home so i am able to pay attention to your pet at all times. If you’re comfortable with it i love to take them with me for small errands or nice views just so they are not left alone at home. I live in a very walkable town. Your pet will be able to roam freely around the house if needed, and/or have their own space if they are shy. I’m capable of moving things around for comfortability. Pets will never be left unattended for long periods of time. I don’t own additional dogs or cats but i have rabbits kept in their own secure caged space. I can and WILL follow all care instructions. I would be happy to provide updates and photos at any time.

So happy to have found Newell, a very nice gentleman who lives very close to me. New old was super polite, always on time and he really took the time to get to know Roscoe a little bit and let Roscoe warm up to him. We maintained great communication while I was away Newell sent several pictures every day and Roscoe seems content and happy. Couldn't ask for more.

She would leave us little check-in notes when she would visit and walk our pup. She will be my go to pup sitter forever! We felt so comfortable and most importantly our pup felt safe and happy with her.
