Alexandra did a great job with our 17 year old cat. We were out of town for 3 days and came back to a very clean living space and a very content Isis. Would definitely recommend Alexandra for overnight sitting with your pet!

Karla and Shaun watched our Dobie Chief last weekend for a house sitting booking. Wow, they’re the BEST!! Super down to earth, kind and easy going people. Karla was in touch with lots of updates and pictures along the way. I felt completely at ease with them staying in my home and taking care of our big boy. Do not hesitate to book their services. They’re fantastic people!

Eleni did a wonderful job sitting with our Samoyed puppy Willow, who can be a handful at times. She kept us updated throughout the stays and did a great job keeping Willow’s routine. Highly recommend!

About: I have over 10 years of experience in veterinary medicine, including specialty practice, so I’m comfortable recognizing changes in a pet’s behavior or health and can provide an extra level of attention that gives pet parents peace of mind. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, including administering oral medications, following detailed care instructions, and accommodating pets with medical conditions or special needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, so I take the time to build trust, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around making sure pets receive consistent care, exercise, meals, and attention. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or evening cuddles, I prioritize keeping each pet on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Because I work in veterinary medicine, I’m organized, dependable, and used to following detailed care instructions. I make time every day to provide individualized care and regular updates to pet parents, so they can feel confident their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. My priority is creating a safe, calm, and stress-free environment while keeping pets on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and household rules so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I always make sure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure before walks and keep a close eye on each pet during outdoor time. I believe communication is just as important as great care, so I provide regular photo updates and check-ins to keep pet parents informed and give them peace of mind. With my veterinary background, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in a pet’s behavior or health and know when something requires immediate attention. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, caring for them as if they were my own.

Meka was such a professional and was wonderful with Myka (65-pound pit mix). Meka stayed overnight with her over July 4th, and had such a helpful calming presence for Myka, who hates fireworks. We hope to have Meka sit for us again soon!

Kier took care of my dog Kiwi in my apartment over an extended time and I was confident the entire time that Kiwi was in good and extremely loving hands. Kier always sent lengthy updates and I can tell went the extra mile to make sure Kiwi was happy and taken care of. I won’t hesitate to book with him again.

About: I've got the " Mommy can I have A puppy?""experience. My daughter got a puppy when she was 5 years old for her birthday Guess who took care of it? Me. Then I took her trick or treating at 8 years old and instead of of coming back with candy, we came back home with a pit bull puppy cause this guy had a rope around his neck trying to get rid of it. Guess who took care of it? Me. Then 10 years ago she wanted another puppy. She ended up getting 2 , a sister and brother. She promised she would take care of of them and be responsible for them. Guess who took care of of them? Me. She's 30 years old now and nothing has changed. I'm still the sole care giver. Need I say more?

About: I have had pets, or as I say friends my whole life. For the past 22 years, I have taken care of my own as an adult. I have had both cats and dogs both at the same time. I treat all of my friends like family. I am a dedicated animal lover. I live in Rockaway beach. I am available on Thursdays and Fridays and most weekends. I am available Monday-Wednesday after 6PM. I am very flexible as well to accommodate special requests. I do not have a fenced in yard, however, I take my dog Tina for long walks around Rockaway, on the beach off season, and to the dog run on Shore.

Jasmine was the perfect dog sitter for my senior special needs dog! Her vet background put me at ease with all the different instructions regarding Stella’s meds and any potential emergency care she might need in case her heart condition acted up. Stella was so happy to meet and see Jasmine, she got excited like she hasn’t in a long time and I can tell by how she acted when I came home that she had a great time with Jasmine 💗 an added bonus is that after her dogsit, giving Stella her liquid meds was so much easier! I don’t have to burrito her anymore and she doesn’t wiggle away in fear. I’m recommending her to my friends with animals who have medical issues. She’s an angel!

Terri took amazing care of Elie while I was away. She kept my home exactly as I left it, and Elie was calm, happy, and clearly loved her. She checked in with me every day, sent regular photos, and always responded quickly, which made the whole trip completely stress‑free. Terri was reliable, thoughtful, and great with dogs. I’d absolutely book her again.
