Always a fantastic experience leaving my pups with Imani. She cares for them as if they were her own. All instructions followed, regularly in communication, and a fantastic pet photographer while we're away! She always sends me update photos better than I have ever taken myself.

About: Hi! I’m Narsing, an experienced and dependable pet caregiver with 5+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and active while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, so I take time to learn their habits, energy level, feeding schedule, and comfort needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, calm companionship, or extra patience and attention, I adapt to what makes them happiest. I’m reliable, punctual, patient, and attentive to details. I can help with: • Daily walks • Feeding & fresh water • Playtime & companionship • Photo and video updates for peace of mind I’m excited to meet your furry family member and provide loving, trustworthy care! I have a very flexible schedule and am available anytime — mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever you need. Safety is always my top priority. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel cared for, happy and stress-free while you’re away

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!

Destiny was an amazing sitter and house guest! Our old boy, Blue, loved her from the moment he met her. She stayed in our home for 16 days and not only took incredible care of Blue, sending regular updates and pics/videos, but she went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, watering plants and even cleaned the house before she left, leaving us a sweet note. She was communicative, professional, and has a high level of attention to detail. We will 100% be using her services again!

Kristen took great care of our 18 month old labradoodle for 10 days. On our initial meeting, my wife and I loved his easy-going but responsible attitude and our girl took to him right away without any hesitation. A big bonus was Kristen's proximity to Prospect Park. We received lots of photos during her stay and Kristen was super fast replying to any questions we had. Kristen is definitely going to be our go-to sitter on our nights out and when we're out of town.

About: I differentiate myself by offering specialized skills like administering medication, handling medical emergencies, and providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. Building trust through expertise and professionalism is key in communicating effectively in order to deliver the best possible care. Additionally, my own experience with my dog has also granted me the ability to understand and meet such needs as well as the emotional needs of any pet, and to establish a trusted relationship with both pet and owner! I am currently a per diem part-time nanny to a family in New Jersey while attending online college classes; however, the alignment of both schedules allows me the flexibility to include my passion for pet care! I am flexible and available most weekdays between 9AM-2PM and weekends between 10AM-7PM. My work experience in animal welfare in clinical and boarding facilities allows me to apply what I have learned into what I can do. As an overnight supervisor in a doggy daycare environment, pets are cared for by providing a safe and stimulating environment, ensuring their well-being, and offering socialization opportunities with other dogs. This includes activities such as playtime, walks, feeding, and monitoring their behavior whereas in a clinical setting, caring for pets involves monitoring vital signs, administering treatments, conducting medical procedures, and providing post-operative care. It also includes maintaining cleanliness, following strict protocols, and ensuring a comfortable environment for the animals. Although not as extensive in daycare or clinical facilities, in-home pet care allows for individualized attention where needed as needed without the external stressors of a constantly changing environment. In-home care involves the basics of pet welfare and includes providing food, water, exercise, and companionship. Additionally, administering medication, following specific care instructions, and maintaining a safe environment are crucial, all of which I can provide based on my background and experience.

Airella is absolutely amazing! We booked her time for a long weekend away to watch over our menagerie (2 dogs, tree frogs, fish and snake) and general home items, everything was flawless! From the beginning, she was very quick to respond with the initial request for a meet and greet, stopped by same-day that afternoon, and I immediately felt comfortable. Ariella is kind, courteous, upbeat and asked thorough questions. She was willing to be flexible with her daily schedule coming back and forth in the morning, afternoon and staying overnight as well. We received a photo the first night and constant updates each day on how things were going. Everything was safe and sound when we returned. Dogs were happy. Frogs, fish and snake as well :) Our mail and packages were brought in, and Airella was kind enough to offer unpacking our Hello Fresh grocery order. Needless to say, Ariella is a wonderful caretaker and I would highly recommend her to watch over your pets anytime. Thank you Ariella BIG time!!

Anastasiia is a true gem. We hired her for a 5 night stay and she was super kind and flexible about extending two additional nights when we got our flights mixed up. She alap offered to come by a day or two before our departure to get the rundown and meet Smokey ahead of time which we really appreciated. Smokey is extremely shy around strangers but by day two they were already making a lot of progress and by the end of the week he was napping in her lap and sleeping on her bed. Her genuine care about his happiness and well-being really showed. She sent detailed updates with great photos and videos, followed all of our instructions (even with our plants), and went above and beyond as a house guest. The house was spotless when she left. We will be hiring her again for sure knowing our little boy is in the best hands!
