Mandel was an amazing house and pet sitter for us, even taking care of all of our plants! I would highly recommend Mandel to anyone with anxiety about leaving your pets. We were updated several times a day about our babies, and were so at ease knowing they were well taken care of.

I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! My event was delayed and she ended up staying with my boy for an extra hour. She also took him on a long walk and sent lots of pictures. I didn’t worry at all about him and was able to enjoy my night. I’ll definitely be booking her to watch my baby in the future!

Christopher was communicative, caring, and receptive. He provided a great help to me over the weekend and he will be the first one I reach out to again for assistance.

Camille was so professional, communicative and responsive to our dogs needs! We really appreciated the photos and videos she sent of our dog while we were out of town and missed him! He fell in love with her the second he met her, as she is really great with animals and reading their behavior and personalities. I would absolutely recommend Camille for all of your pets needs!

Wow Schirn is absolutely amazing! I would recommend her to anyone. She took care of our dog the 10 days we were in Ireland and did an amazing job. We even had a maintenance issue in our apartment and she had it fixed and had me updated in no time. She really is incredible. We got great pictures and updates every day. I will be using her every time we are out of town. 10/10

About: My first time taking care of a dog and house sitting was in 2018. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Even though the pandemic has changed how we live our lives, I am definitely looking forward to getting back to Dog walking or sitting. I currently work full-time. I can be available on the weekends. The morning or even the afternoon works well with me. I can also try to change my schedule if needed. I follow any instructions given to me on how to care for a pet. I have and will treat them as if they were mine.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and treat every one I sit for like it’s my own. I live near Prospect Park and love being the “fun dog aunt” who gets your pup out and about. I currently freelance and get out for walk myself several times a day. I love Prospect Park and am also close to several fenced in dog parks, so I easily work these into my routine. I take time to learn your dog’s habits and mannerisms, and err on the side of more communicative rather than less. I understand this is a beloved member of your family, and strive to treat them with utmost care and attention.

About: I am an animal lover living in Ridgewood. I grew up with cats my entire life. I also raised a basset hound named Sandor. I am kind and compassionate, willing to do overnights, drop-ins, and walks with your pets. Establishing trust with an animal and allowing them to adjust to your presence is one of the most important parts of the process. I have been caring for neighbors pets for years and walked dogs professionally in Manhattan. I’m available for walks and drop-ins during the weekdays also overnights if you’re going out of town for a week or more. I love pets. I will be able to drop in to give your fur baby some love when you’re at work or will stay overnight when you travel.

Kier took amazing care of our pets. He went above and beyond for our sweet but high attention animals. We came home to a tired and happy high-energy dog, and a well brushed and cared-for chronically ill cat after two weeks away. Our dog is usually a basket case when we come home but this time, he was relaxed from getting attention and enough exercise from frequent walks and dog park visits.

Requested Avary the day before and was immediately reached out to, to confirm the booking and get familiar with our puppy. Avary proceeded to communicate ETA, sending pics on arrival and kept me up to date on the good potty moments and the bad. Will definitely be rebooking and recommend Avary without any hesitation to anyone who needs a sitter!

About: Fun fact: my profile picture is of me and Panda 🐼, the first fur baby I ever took care of for a family friend when I was 12! I am someone who has always grown up around animals including dogs, cats, turtles, and birds. I’ve always had a desire to take care of them, so much that at one point I wanted to go to veterinary school. Although I decided to switch to nursing, being able to take care of the adoring pets of others is something that I’d love to keep as my hobby. I’ll make sure to love your pet the same way I loved the ones I grew up with. All in all, I get to distress from school, and they can get all the cuddles and play in the world. It’s a win win! I’ll also make sure to keep you updated with pictures and videos so you can rest assured that they’ll be in good hands :) I am currently a full-time nursing student, with all of my classes being on Tuesdays. Besides that, I am available any other day of the week :) I also speak Spanish! When caring for your pet in your home, my top priorities are safety, respect, and consistency. I treat your space with the same care and cleanliness I’d expect in mine, and I make sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I will carefully follow your instructions, stick to your pet’s routine, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Whether it’s feedings, litter box cleaning, going for a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m reliable, gentle, and always respectful of your home and your pet’s well-being. You can relax knowing they’re in trustworthy, experienced hands.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and have had two cats of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every pet like they’re my own not just making sure they’re fed, but making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I naturally pay attention to the little things changes in behavior, mood, or appetite because I know those details matter. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or more shy and independent, I adjust to their personality and let them warm up at their own pace. I’m very consistent with routines because I know that’s what helps pets feel secure. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. You’ll always get regular updates and photos, so you don’t have to wonder how your pet is doing. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands. I have a very open and flexible schedule. I can easily work around your pet’s routine, whether that means early mornings, evenings, or multiple check-ins throughout the day. Since I’m not juggling a busy schedule right now, I’m able to spend more quality time with your pet instead of rushing in and out. If your pet wants playtime, company, or just someone to sit nearby while they do their own thing, I’m there for it. I’m very mindful of creating a calm and safe environment, especially since pets can be sensitive to changes. I make sure doors and windows are secure, feeding areas are clean, and everything stays consistent with what your pet is used to. I pay attention to behavior and give pets space when they need it, but I’m also happy to sit with them, play, or just exist in the same space if that’s what they prefer. Sometimes the best way to bond with a pet is to not try too hard. I treat your home with respect and follow your instructions closely so everything stays exactly how you like it.

She was considerate and kind, and I loved that she created a genuine connection with our babies, so much so that she will miss them. I highly recommend working with Regina.

Arianna’s star sitter profile not only reflects the high quality of care she provides, but also the thoughtful way she meets fur babies where they are. Logan is the definition of a pandemic dog: attached, anxious, and still full of energy despite being five years old. Arianna took the time to learn Logan’s personality and quickly figured out how to help him release that energy. She took him on long walks, helped him socialize with other dogs, and even brought him along on food outings. It was amazing to see Logan living his best life. Most importantly, having a stellar sitter makes all the difference when it comes to caring for your fur baby.

Marisa R. was spectacular! We recommend Marisa to any family looking for someone to watch their pet and/or house. She met with us prior to watching our dog to find out all about him. When it came time to watch him, she followed his routine as described and sent us photos of all of the fun they had together. We felt so grateful to Marisa knowing that our dog was so well cared for while we were away. Thank you, Marisa!

I cannot express enough how happy I am we found Phaedra! Shelby and Lucky instantly warmed up to her and we knew right away they’d be in great hands while we were away. She kept me updated the whole time and spent a lot of time working with Shelby, who is afraid of everything and is very reactive on walks, and it was amazing to see the difference in her from when we left to when we got back. We came home to happy pups and a clean house. I will definitely have Phaedra watch Shelby & Lucky again!

Marlene was easy to communcate with from our first message. She arrived on time (and our appointment was for 5:30 in the morning, so this is an important detail), listened to all my anxious instructions, and followed them to a tee. She sent me an update to assure me that all was well, along with photos, which I truly appreciated. The dogs were clearly comfortable with her, and she with them, and they were content when I arrived back. She has a calm and reassuring demeanor, which put me at ease, and I would definitely want her to stay with my dogs again. I highly recommend her to you.
