About: Unleash the Love: Transforming Pet Care into a Tail-Wagging Adventure! I have had the pleasure of caring for a wide range of pets over the past fifteen years, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. During this time, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors, allowing me to provide exceptional care and create a nurturing environment for each pet. I am a highly responsible and reliable caregiver, always ensuring the safety and security of the pets under my care. I am attentive to their individual needs and provide personalized attention, ensuring they receive the love, exercise, and mental stimulation they require. Moreover, I am a strong communicator and believe in building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners. I provide regular updates, photos, and videos to keep owners informed and reassured that their beloved pets are in capable hands. I am also attentive to the specific instructions and preferences of each pet owner, ensuring that their individual needs and routines are met. I am dedicated to providing exceptional care and creating a positive and enriching experience for both pets and their owners. I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to ensure your pet is receiving personalized attention, food, love, exercise, and mental stimulation. I have a house with a large living room that is usually my furry friends' playroom and bedtime. There are no other pets around except my adorable and friendly cat Cher.
About: For most of my life I have cared for many dogs as a pet owner and a dog sitter for friends, family and clients alike. Currently I freelance as a media professor and my schedule fluctuates from week to week so its always best to check my calendar for availability. The dogs will receive all my love and attention. I thrive off their unconditional love and I love to see them happy. Simple as that.
About: I've always had animals growing up and I loved taking care of them. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own pets. I made sure they were fed a balanced diet, they had their daily walks, they were upto date with their vaccines. I also made sure that they were well-groomed, given lots of love and attention and spoiled rotten with toys! I currently work full time but I am available anytime after 3pm to pet sit the little cuties and I am free anytime on the weekends. I do not have yard space but I am close to the beach and there are a few parks to take the dogs for a walk!
“Doris is a very sweet and caring person. She took a great care of my Molly. She gave my girl lots of attention and took her out for walks. I’ll definitely get back to Doris for more help with my girl.”

“Vivian really took care of Jayce like her own pooch. She’s very mindful and attentive to Jayce, especially with his anxiety she is very caring and really made him feel comfortable!”

“judith, is an awesome caregiver, she kept me informed throughout the day with text updates and photos, my baby girl Bella came home well care for and happy I would definitely be rebooking with her often. five stars”

“What a lovely person - I’d give her 100 stars if that were an option. To explain, I had to go into my office LAST minute and at 1230 am it was my first time using this app and I posted requests for someone to basically dog sit for the same day- she was immediately responsive even though it was a last minute request. I saw she had already gotten consistent great reviews and I was worried to leave my 7 week old shih tsu (like a baby) with anyone ) -Jameeka she handles all dog ages - she was responsive, kept me updated throughout the day. I even got stuck in traffic on the way for pick up and was late she was fine. The top 3 reasons I give Jameeka 5 stars is because 1) she is the opposite of stressful and worked with my unique needs, 2) she has great communication skills snd 3) it is clear she is an expert - my puppy was returned perfectly she gave me some updates and my puppy was happy and fell right asleep because Jameeka ensured my puppy got play time and exercise time - thank you !”

“Galit is amazing. Our pup loved his time with her. She clearly loves dogs and takes great care of those in her care. She was incredibly communicative and sent lots of pictures. We will be returning! Thanks Galit!”

About: I love dogs and have a great home near the beach. Your baby will have a fun and loving experience with me, in my home. A fenced in yard, lots of beach walks and kisses. I work from home, occasionally going into the office in NYC. When I go to the office I will not offer pet setting or walking services. I will do three walks a day for 30 minutes - at the beach or around the neighborhood. Play time, feeding, and lot's of love will be given. I have a fenced in yard and a small dog of my own to keep your dog company. My services are available Thursday through Monday, for dog sitting, boarding and walking.
“Lina provided exceptional care for my baby, Viper. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. She not only tended to his basic needs but also showered him with love and attention. It was evident that she genuinely cared for his well-being and treated him as if he were her own. Throughout his stay, Lina kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing Viper was happy and content. Additionally, her knowledge and expertise in handling dogs reassured me that Viper was receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Lina to anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter.”

About: I absolutely love animals and take care of all types of them, I especially love dogs because of their fun loving nature and cats because of their mystique. I have a lot of experience taking care of both and I have all the energy and fitness needed for a dog to run with, play with, have fun with, feel loved and spend energy! It especially helps that I'm no walk in the park myself, standing at 6'4 dogs tend to have a natural respect for my stature and listen a lot faster as well. I use my vast knowledge and experience to keep me and the animals safe and happy. I'm also able to help dogs and cats of all ages. I'm very patient with the potty training process and medical application processes of all kinds. I look forward to working with you all! Pet care IS my daily routine. Pet care is my full time job and I'm happy to give every pet the best walk, feeding, sitting or boarding experience I possibly can while keeping the owners updated every step of the way! When it comes to watching pets, patience, knowledge and experience are invaluable traits to have when handling another person's furry friend. I make sure to come prepared both mentally and physically for my sitting appointments. I have conversations with pet owners to learn more about their pet and get information that will make the sit go smoothly in my home or theirs. I ask about their pet's likes and dislikes, favorite toys, quirks, medical history and much more. All these are important to make sure you come back to your pet just as happy and healthy as you left them!
“Words cannot adequately express how amazing Erica is. I showed up nervous and apprehensive, and she was beyond patient and comforting. She kept me updated with texts, photos and videos which were SO appreciated. Rusty slept like a baby after his day of play and is excited for his next visit ♥️?♥️”

“Ms. Anamika was phenomenal with our puppy who suffers with separation anxiety. He got to exercise in her backyard and had so much room to explore and be curious. She provided pictures and videos to put our minds at ease while his dad and I went to work. We definitely recommend and will be using her services again. Peace and blessings, Amanda, Tanner and Ragnar Ganesh.”
