“Emily was fantastic. She was prompt and reliable, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She kept me updated with great photos throughout, and it was clear Nova was happy and well cared for. Most importantly, she followed all instructions closely and made the whole experience seamless.”
“Anna house sat for us to watch our dog and two cats, and they were all really happy when we got back. She was always very responsive and followed all instructions for their food and care, and she was extremely flexible due to a scheduling change we had. I would absolutely book her again, and recommend her for anyone else!”
“This was our first time having Razan watch our cat, and she was fantastic! She is proactive, considerate, and highly communicative. I especially appreciated that she took the time to meet our cat beforehand to learn how to administer his asthma inhaler. While we were away, she was attentive to all his needs and sent daily photos and updates. We returned to a clean and tidy apartment. Thank you so much, Razan!”
“Dicky was wonderful with our pups. She housesat for us when we were off island for a long weekend and kept us up to date with texts and videos - very happy to have another person we can trust to help us out with the dogs. We plan to call on her again in the future!”
About: Hello! My name is Patty, and I’m a lifelong cat lover who truly enjoys caring for animals. I have two cats of my own, Sol and Luna, both two years old, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I’ve cared for them since they were kittens, and I’m comfortable working with cats of all ages, from playful little ones to more independent adults. Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I know that each one has their own unique personality and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to whatever makes your pet feel safest and happiest, whether that’s playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their routine. I’m currently a student at Columbia University, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-ins and house sitting. I’m also happy to help with small extras like watering plants while you’re away. I’m open to last-minute bookings whenever possible—just send me a message, and we can find a time that works! I’d love to help make your time away stress-free, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. I am a full time student at Columbia, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am specifically looking for opportunities to pet sit over the summer when I will have the most availability, allowing me to stop by as often as you would want me to. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to their routines, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, getting in plenty of playtime, or just providing calm companionship. I’m experienced with different personalities and energy levels, so I adapt to what each pet needs. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or extra patience I am here for it. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority.
“Jiamin was amazing with my two orange boys while I was traveling for Thanksgiving! I could tell she was a cat expert right away, as they warmed up to her immediately, and she knew exactly how to manage their feeding and bathroom routines. She was super professional, and she provided timely updates and the cutest pictures! Thank you, Jiamin!”
“Jessica watched my dog, Lina, overnight and was awesome! She was responsive, punctual and spent the time to go over Lina’s personality and quirks. Sometimes my dog is nervous around strangers but she warmed up so quick to Jessica. Plus, she sent me the cutest pics while I was away! Happy to see they bonded and I appreciated her care and effort. Will definitely use her in the future.”
“Riouja arrived before time - she was very communicative, sent hourly updates with pictures , took chia to the groomer and back , was loving and kind to our dog. We would not hesitate to hire her again recommend her highly. She’s a dog lover and our dog loved her !”
“Bogdan was an excellent sitter for my reactive needy dog. He was relaxed and comfortable with her and treated her gently and with care. She adored him. Bogdan replied to my request and questions promptly and arrived early, which i appreciated alot. He listened carefully to all my instructions, which are complex re: locking the fridge and gate to the kitchen, which my dog can open. Bogdan gave her lots of attention while i was gone, and she had a wonderful time with him. I will look forward to booking him again, and recommend him to all.”
“Neil was a fantastic house sitter. Very communicative. Neil has been a great dog walker and this was the first time he dog-sat for me and I felt really comfortable leaving my dog for a few days even though he had an infection on his paw. Always appreciative of Neil’s Services.Neil was respectful of my personal space and was happy to find my apartment exactly how I left it.”
“I dropped off Niko and Rumi at his place and honestly had a great experience. He took really good care of them and kept me in the loop the whole time, like sending updates when they were fed and just how they were doing in general. Niko is usually very anxious and hides around new people, but he actually got comfortable with him, which says a lot. Both Niko and Rumi seemed super settled, almost like it was their second home. At one point Niko puked a hairball (which is normal for him), but he handled it well and kept me updated every few hours, and even followed up the next day and after meals. I really appreciated that. Overall, I wouldn’t think twice about booking again.”
“I had a great experience with Prachi! She was available extremely last minute which was so helpful!! She took excellent care of my dog Nova and kept me updated with regular messages and photos which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My dog loved her will definitely look to book again with Prachi she was reliable and caring!”
“Josh did a great job taking care of our three cats while we traveled for the Thanksgiving holiday! He was very communicative, asked clarifying questions about their care, and left our house very tidy.”
“Monique was fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs, and our apartment, while we were away. From the beginning, communication was smooth. During our trip, she sent daily text updates with wonderful photos. One of our dogs is a rescue and is initially wary of new people, but she took to Monique almost immediately. I will definitely contact Monique the next time we're looking for a pet sitter. Highly recommended!”
“Desiree was amazing to work with!! Our dog warmed up to her within five minutes after we left and was sleeping in her lap almost the whole time ❤️ She kept us updated with pictures and messages. We would love to have her sit our dog again.”
“Thank you so much for your help Madison! I work long hours and Madison made me feel so comfortable leaving my lil pup with her for the day. Even with some technically difficulties on my end, Madison was so patient with me and is so flexible. She took great care of Linus while I was gone and he loves her so much.”
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.

Kayla was amazing! Not only did she take fantastic care of our pup and did he have a great time, she also helped in a huge way when we had apartment issues while on vacation. It would have led to so much damage if she wasn’t there! Both on the pet and apartment front, Kayla was super responsive and communicated the whole. Will definitely have Kayla watch our boy again!

This was our second time booking Alice and Ethan to watch Mango, and we honestly couldn't ask for better sitters! We were away in Ireland for our wedding, and having them look after Mango gave us total peace of mind. Alice and Ethan were incredibly proactive and efficient at figuring out Mango’s needs whenever anything came up. They sent constant updates and were so patient with his initially shy personality. They were also super prompt with his feeding schedule and medical needs, including his inhaler. Mango was so incredibly happy the entire time. We are so glad to have found them and cannot recommend them highly enough!
