Laura provided such great care for our pets (two pups and a cat). She was kind, loving, and really engaged with them (petting, playing fetch, etc.). I highly recommend her and will definitely be utilizing her services again!!!

Raquel was a fantastic cat sitter! She spent time each visit getting to know our shy cat and by the end of the week they were fast friends. Raquel provided detailed updates after each visit accompanied with tens of pictures and a few videos. We will definitely use Raquel again!

Jillian is thoughtful, communicative, and caring. She was gentle with my cat who initially was a little spicy toward her. Because of her patience, he quickly warmed up to her and when I returned seemed very calm and relaxed. Would recommend Jillian to anyone needing pet care!

About: I have taken care of animals for 15 years and I am very passionate about making animals feel safe, comfortable and loved. I grew up with both cats and dogs and so I am able to take care of both. From pugs, mastiffs, labradors, to cats, I can do it all. I give medication, deep-clean litter boxes, play with you pets and overall make sure your pet feels at ease while you’re away. I am currently a full time employee that works nights (5p-2a), and so I have a lot of free time during the day to take care of your pet. I always get up early to make sure I’m taking care of me and my cat’s needs and am able to extend that care to your animals as well. When I do a drop-in visit, I always do a sweep around the main areas of the house to ensure that everything is in order. For dogs, my main priority is to take them out, check their water bowl and play with them to make sure they have the care they need for the day. For cats, I will always check their litter boxes to see if it needs any scooping, I will also check their food and water bowls and fill them up if needed. Like dogs, I will respect their boundaries and play with them to ensure they’re comfortable.

I am extremely happy with Joanna! My dog, Loki had a fantastic time and he was just as happy as he usually is, I could totally tell by the pictures she sent me all the time. I am very grateful for the time she spent with him and how well she took care of him. I will definitely have her stay with him again in the future.

Jill did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She was very professional, attentive to any requests as well as the special needs of my youngest and treated my kiddos with love and care every day, including the days when the elevator gave out in my apartment complex. I was initially concerned about a sitter because my eldest is very skittish around strangers due to previous bad experiences with others, but I was surprised to see that she warmed up to Jill right away. 10/10. If ever I need to have a sitter for my kiddos again, I'll be calling Jill.

This is the 2nd time that Mo house set. This time was only our Kitty, Bella, as we took the dog with. She’s so very attentive and caring. We’re very fortunate to have met Mo.She’d already accepted to house sit both out kitty and pup, next month, for 2 weeks and we’re just so happy that she’ll be taking care or our babies.

About: While my experience is mostly with seniors, I love and have experience with all age ranges. I've also cared for dogs that have had some medical issues and am super attentive to all my fur babies. I currently work full-time, but my hours are extremely flexible. I am in office Thurs-Sun, but my work day can end anywhere between 8am & 3pm. If I have pets in my home, I do provide a bed, feeding bowls, snacks, toys, and a lot of affection. I have a private park across the street as well as a fenced in backyard, depending on what the needs are. I am also located near Bushnell Park in case some extra running around is needed. I am good at giving medicine, if need be.

About: Hello My name is Jennifer , I am a freelancer and animal lover, who may cry after watching Dodo dog videos. My husband Inam is writer/comedian who enjoys pups more than his jokes. We are dog parents to two smaller pups Bob Marley and Bruce Springsteen. Don't worry they are very loving of other dogs. We have a house with a fenced backyard, with plenty of open space for the pups to play and socialize. We also volunteer for Badass Brooklyn and am lucky to have a car to help their dogs to and from medical appointments. We can do the same for you if you need help with transporting the dog and you dont have time to either drop the pup off my place, and/or We can get to your place much quicker then it normally takes to train it there. We can't imagine a life without dogs; we really don't deserve them. But you deserve the best care and fun for your pup. We am very flexible with my schedule, feel free to reach out with any other questions. Jennifer & Inam We both work from home and are home bodies and we also enjoy walking Our pups in our neighborhood. But if it’s ugly weather, we enjoy a good blanket and cuddle with our boys. We have a fenced backyard and our neighborhood is 2 to 3 blocks away from a street with car traffic. But we are very careful to ensure that the pups cannot bust through doors by putting gates and door locks to prevent any flight risk.

We absolutely loved Jersey! She was incredibly sweet, took her time with Paisley and followed all of our notes perfectly. It was clear right away how much care and attention she puts into what she does. Paisley adored her which meant so much to me and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. I’m so thankful we found Jersey and will definitely be using her again!
