“Yosef was an extremely thoughtful sitter. He learned the needs and habit of three demanding dogs. He worked to meet each of their needs. It was not an easy job caring for the trifecta of chaos but he did it and kept the house in order. Would highly recommend Yosef to anyone needing someone to sit their precious pets.”

Diana L.

“Julia was great! She sent lots of photos and our dog and cat were well taken care of, not easy with a big 75lb puppy. She also left the house cleaner than I think we left it. She's great”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a young boy, and when I turned 15 I started my own Dog Walking service in my home town of Hoboken NJ. I ran it for 3 years straight building a vast clientele basis until I moved to Pace University for college. Can’t wait to meet all of your adorable pets!!! Would be able to do walks any day during any time of the day and more then happy to do pet sitting in your home if needed!!! I’ve always cared for pets in a special way since I was a young child. I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a little boy and try even if I am with the dog for only a short period of time to give the dog as much love and care as possible

“Yet again—best dog sitter ever! On top of her usual excellent caretaking of our dogs and our home, she went above and beyond with some last minute extra help.”

About: Animals are a central part of my life and always have been. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats and more, and I truly treat every animal like my own. I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your dog with someone else, so I focus on providing attentive, loving care you can fully trust. P.S. I have a soft spot for snuggly pups and love long walks. I am currently an online college student with a very light course-load! So I have lots of flexibly and time to care for your pup! I have a fully fenced( with the exception of the driveway entrance- which can be fenced off while your pup plays outside) two acre property with 8ft deer fencing. I have two 60ish pound dogs who are very friendly and low key. Our dogs free roam the house yours can as well or can be in a crate if your prefer. We are pretty active and love to go on long sniffari walks!

About: I pride myself on providing patient, attentive, and genuinely loving care for every pet. I’m naturally calm and structured (teacher life!), which helps animals feel safe and settled. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, though I have the most experience with small and medium dogs. I’m happy to help with: 🐾 Medication routines 🐾 Puppies & potty schedules 🐾 Senior dog care 🐾 Keeping your pet’s routine consistent I’m also open to cat care. While I’m newer to sitting for cats, I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and creating a calm, respectful environment for them. To ensure safety and a positive environment, I’m not comfortable handling reactive pets. I treat pets like family and love keeping you updated with photos and check-ins 💛 During school days, I offer dependable morning and after-work care. On weekends and days off, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to fully adapt to your pet’s routine and needs. I currently provide pet care exclusively in my client’s home. Caring for pets in their own environment allows me to maintain their normal routines, which helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling comfortable and secure. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific preferences your pet may have. I’m respectful, tidy, and treat your home with the utmost care and professionalism. My priority is ensuring your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I was a vet tech at the clinic I grew up by until recently, when I changed career fields. As a former vet tech, I am comfortable giving oral and injectable medications, working with special care animals (kidney disease/renal failure, epilepsy, diabetes, Cushings/Addisons, etc) and have wellbeing expertise beyond that of a typical sitter; if something goes wrong, I know protocol and when to get a vet involved. If you happen to have animals beyond just dogs and cats, I have large and small animal experience (livestock, especially horses, chickens, dogs of all sizes, cats, exotics) and pet sat for friends and family for years until I moved. I love animals and am looking forward to get to know yours! I'm working full time M-F but work nearby and have a lunch break in the middle of the day. I'm an active person and am happy to exercise your baby and give them lots of love. I care for your pets as if they were my own. I believe in not just doing what's necessary (feeding, potty breaks/cleaning the litter box) but also in giving mental and physical exercise. I'm happy to live on your pet or let them keep their distance according to their personality and needs.

“Patricia was great. Our little guy was super happy with her dog Rosie and her daughter. She helped us out in an emergency situation while we were abroad and Butter couldn’t have been happier. Highly recommend Patricia.”

“Jane was a wonderful dog sitter while we were gone! She was attentive, kind, and sent so many great updates and pictures! We will definitely use her again for our next trip!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses. Through my involvement in 4-H, where I served as president of my club, I developed strong animal care skills, leadership experience, and a deep appreciation for responsible pet ownership. Growing up, I regularly helped care for family pets and spent time dog walking for neighbors. During high school and college, I provided drop-in visits for pets, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I'm currently a proud dog mom to my hound mix, Choco, which keeps me active and helps me stay in tune with dogs' individual needs and personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with a variety of animals, my reliability, and my genuine love for pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I'll provide attentive care and treat them like part of my own family. Beginning this fall, I'll be a law student, but my schedule still allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I have excellent availability on weekends and am generally available in the late afternoons and evenings on weekdays. I also expect to have availability for early morning visits before class and occasional drop-in visits between classes, depending on my daily schedule. Because my class schedule varies, I'm happy to communicate and work with pet parents to find times that fit their needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I'll do my best to provide flexible, dependable care. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their environment. As the owner of an anxious dog, Choco, I know that every pet has different needs and that changes in routine can sometimes be stressful. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and routines so I can provide care that helps them feel secure and at ease. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to safety by ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are secure and by keeping a watchful eye on pets during walks and outdoor time. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience for every pet by being patient, attentive, and respectful of their boundaries. Whether a pet is energetic and social or shy and anxious, I'll provide compassionate care and treat them as if they were my own.

About: I have experience with petsitting very anxious dogs, pets with special needs, and pets who need more attention than most. Just let me know ahead of time if your dog barks at everything so I can be prepared to soothe them. I'm pretty flexible with most pets! I'm available 24/7 in Westchester, NY. I need something to do to keep me busy since I don't have much of a schedule at the moment. Let me know if your pet has any special needs or preferences. Please bring toys or anything else your pet uses daily. I'm pretty flexible and I can sort out the rest of anything.

About: My love for animals goes beyond being a pet owner. Through my volunteer experience at animal shelters, I’ve gained hands-on experience socializing animals, handling dogs with different temperaments and needs, and administering medication when needed. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and that patience, consistency, and compassion are essential to helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or requires extra care and attention, I strive to provide a calm, nurturing environment tailored to their needs. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and responsible, and I understand the importance of following your pet’s routines and care instructions. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is receiving the same love, respect, and attention they deserve while you’re away. Your pet isn’t just a pet—they’re family, and I’ll treat them like one! At the moment, my availability is very flexible. I can provide service at any day and time. I’m local and can travel for clients. In addition, I’m very responsive. I like to make all animals feel at home by providing a relaxed environment. I have a fenced in yard. All animals should be loved and approached with patience.

“I wanted to send a quick message to let you know how pleased I am with Nicholas. My sitter canceled on me the same day of a major work event, and Nicholas came to the rescue. One he is very polite and professional. He really showed great concern and care for my Furson and was very descriptive in his messages and sent photos to update me. By far, he has been the best pet sitter I’ve had. I would really keep using him from here on out as Diego’s sitter. My dog really liked him and he just took such good care of him. It was a great experience and I know that with Nicholas my dog is in excellent hands. I am truly a satisfied and happy client! ~ Aramis”
