About: What makes me special about taking care of any type of pet is that I give them my unconditional love, I dedicate myself to them and I make them feel at home, cozy and I give them the attention they need. This helps me because I am very dedicated to my routine. I get up early, eat healthy and exercise. Just as I am dedicated to my daily routine, I am also dedicated to the animals that I take care of and I dedicate myself to them. I have neighbors with very friendly animals. I also provide them with a clean and hygienic area, take them for a walk, play with them and give them my dedication, time and love.
“Ali went beyond our expectations as a sitter. She was wonderful and we are so grateful she was able to stay with our pups over the Thanksgiving holiday. Our pups were in great spirits upon our return and our home was looking great. I would strongly recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking again! Thank you Ali!!”
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.
“We love Cristina! She was prompt, friendly, and wonderful with getting to know our dog Haddy. She asked all the right questions about things we didn't even think to tell her about Haddy, and Haddy warmed up to her very quickly, which is rare. We will definitely be calling her again soon, and you should too !”
About: For the last 11 years of my life I have taken care of my amazing dog who sadly passed away in 2024. Alongside taking care of my own pet, I have also taken care of others' pets. Friends, family or strangers, I always treat any pet as my own. I love all pets and have an extensive amount of experience in pet care, from dogs to cats to other animals as well.

I will always update my availability when I am in town, and will be more than ready to take care of your loved ones! I will only be offering dog walking and non-overnight dog/cat sitting services.

No matter your pet needs, I will make sure to care for your pet to the greatest extent.
