House Sitting Steinway

About: I can’t wait to meet your pup! I have my own home with a fully fenced in large yard. I have a 3 year old golden retriever who is very friendly and gets along great with other dogs. I work from home and am available to play and take your dog out whenever they need! They’ll get lots of exercise and I’m happy to share photo updates during their stay. Thankfully, I am working remotely, and am capable of getting to take care of dogs throughout my day as well as after work in the evening. I care for others dogs as if they were my own. All dogs should be able to get love throughout their days and I fully believe that.

About: I’ve had a deep passion for engaging with and taking care of animals since I was a kid; specifically with dogs & cats. I’ve been fortunate enough to have become a reliable sitter for several families and neighbors that I grew up with on Long Island, and have been able to continue serving many different owners across Manhattan while I attend university here in the city. My apartment is perfect for in-home boarding requests as this has become my favorite form of pet-care. Personally, I’ve yet to find anything in my life that I enjoy more than getting to play with and look after dogs and cats; over the years I’ve learned such a great deal about the type of engagement that dogs really need throughout their daily activity, as well as providing a safe and protected environment for cats that wish to roam. I’ve have solid experience administering medication, following strict meal plans, and even training as needed - all animals are different and require different types of care. It would be my privilege to watch over yours! I’m currently enrolled asynchronously at Touro University to pursue my Masters in Education which provides me with plenty of time and availability to be present and engaged with the animals I’ve been fortunate enough to work with. I have a spacious apartment with a full trained & vaccinated Labrador puppy of my own who’s incredibly docile, but quite playful! I am fully stocked on food, toys, treats, vitamins, an Animal First-Aid Kit, and even HeartGuard + Symperica Trio supplements (just in case.) Ofcourse, watching your animal in your home would be no problem either and I have extensive experience in doing so - it all really just depends on your need. Committing to your pet’s regimen and ensuring their comfort will always remain my highest priority.

“Zoey was absolutely wonderful! She was punctual, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. She followed everything I asked and took such great care of Louie. Most importantly, Louie absolutely loved her! 🐶❤️ I would definitely recommend Zoey and would happily have her watch Louie again!”

“Evan was such a great find! It was his first time house sitting, he watched our dog, Matilda, and cat, Emerson, and he was a perfect house guest and pet sitter! The house was in perfect condition, very very clean, the pets were calm and happy, and he was communicative and sent pictures every few days. He was here over the holidays, he helped us out last minute after our plans changed, he was patient while we figured out our plan and asked lots of great questions over the phone before hand. We had a little bit of trouble communicating over FaceTime/rover app because of a faulty connection but he was very kind and took lots of time to interview us about the pets and their routine. We would love to have Evan come back and house sit for us anytime!!! Would absolutely recommend!”

“Mo was wonderful! We were nervous to leave our senior rescue dog behind for a trip because he has some physical handicaps and emotional quirks, but Mo was reassuring, communicative, and we got him back better than when we left him. Will not hesitate to book Mo again!”

“Lia was incredible! We have two dogs - one large Golden Retriever and one small Shiba Inu. She handled both of them perfectly, especially our Shiba who is very shy and scared of new people. She sent updates, pictures, kept our place incredibly clean and abided by all the house/dog rules. Will only be booking Lia again moving forward.”

“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.”

“Devon took great care of our two dogs while we were away for 4 days. She sent us plenty of updates and pictures and followed all the pet care instructions we gave her. We used her for a homestay and our apartment was in perfect shape when we got back. Our dogs seemed to really enjoy her company and we would definitely book her again!”

Kate P.

“We came back to a very happy pup! Would highly recommend Kaylamay — your pet will get plenty of good care and you’ll get plenty of updates throughout the stay.”

Katherine H.

“Schirn saved us when our sitter cancelled last minute. She was communicative and so easy to coordinate with. She left the apartment in perfect condition. We would happily book her again!”

Emily & Jonathan T.

“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.”

Sohail A.

“We are so happy that we found Adrienne to watch Macie & Sixpence! She sent daily updates on the, both and was quick to respond to my texts. Would 100% recommended her!”

Lisa A.

“Nellie was not only amazing with our pup, but she was also so personable with us! From the start, she communicated really well, asked thoughtful questions about our pup’s needs, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving her in Nellie’s care. It looks like our girl may have found another bestie! 🥰🐶 Thank you so much, Nellie! We truly appreciate you and will absolutely be reaching out again! ❤️”

Quita M.

“Kayla was SO great with my sensitive, shy cat! She was communicative, reliable, and even my doorman mentioned really liking her- which is a first. I will absolutely use her again!”

About: I have worked in several animal-related rescues helping with adoption, fostering, and administration. I have also worked in veterinary clinics assisting in their medical care. I aim for pet care to be in my schedule as much as possible. I am also flexible in my care times if you are in need. I love accommodating for pets in my care based on their needs. Meeting new pets means understanding their personalities and being able to help them feel comfortable. The safety and comfort of your pet is my biggest priority.

“Hadeel was great taking care of our 3 month old, very active puppy. She has experience and knowledge. We will be happy to use her service again.”

About: My experience with animals goes beyond just having pets of my own! I’ve raised my cat, Khloe, since she was a newborn, cared for my boyfriend’s senior dog Gizmo (RIP), and even helped care for a family member’s puppy (Romeo) who was sick with a UTI. That meant keeping up with more frequent walks and giving the puppy extra attention throughout the week. I’ve also managed to keep three carnival goldfish (Darwin, Sayuri, and Mohawk) happy and healthy for over two years! From young pets who need supervision to senior pets who may need a gentler hand, I’ve learned every animal has different needs, but deserve the same patience consistency and love. I’m also a photographer and artist, so I LOVE catching those goofy moments that fill every pet owners phone gallery. If your pet becomes my buddy, don’t be surprised if you get an entire complimentary photo shoot! I will also be happy to clean your fur baby afterwards (yuck nyc floors) and provide poop bags, toys, treats, etc if needed! I’m currently in college full time, with Mondays and Wednesday’s being my most unavailable days. Tuesday,Thursday,Friday, and weekends are my best days. I have classes Tues-Thurs from 10:45-12pm, and periodically have classes on Thursday from 3:05 to 5:45. This is my last semester, so I will be graduating soon. We can work together to find the best schedule 🐾 Whether it is in my home or yours, my priority is making sure the fur baby is safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the usual feeding, walking, playtime, and rest routines as closely as possible. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep your pet areas cleaner than you left them, and make sure they have fresh food and water.

“Mahayla did a fantastic job with our dog over the weekend, sending plenty of photos and updates. She was also a considerate house guest & treated our place as her own. Highly recommend!”

“Soo Min was so attentive & communicative from the minute I booked her. I’m always initially worried when I book with a new dog sitter but she sent me a lot of updates throughout the weekend & I could tell my anxious chihuahua felt very safe around her. Highly recommend! She also took great care of my apartment. Thank you Soo Min!!”

“Gwendolyn did great work house sitting Coco and communicated very well throughout. She left our house in pristine conditions. Thank you Gwendolyn and I look forward to working with you again.”
