Becky was amazing as a live-in cat sitter for my elderly cat!! She was able to give him pills and inhalers easily. She sent me frequent updates and left my home spotless. Can’t recommend enough!!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old and I’ve grown up with them my whole life. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes; my smallest dog is 10 pounds and my largest is 75 pounds. I absolutely adore animals. I’m currently a student physical therapist on a clinical rotation in Westchester. Looking forward to meeting your beloved pets! 😊 Monday/Wednesday/Friday I have clinical rotation 11am-8pm Tuesday/Thursday I’ll be in clinic 7am-4pm Weekends I am free unless otherwise stated I prefer owners leave a note with specific instructions pertaining to their pet as every pet is different. I love playing, cuddling, and simply being in the room with any pet. I am attentive to their needs and very communicative with the owners.

Brandon was great! He came to meet us beforehand to make sure we were comfortable. Booch immediately loved him. While we were away he was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures. The house was also well taken care of. We would definitely hire him again!

About: I'm a reliable, compassionate pet sitter who truly loves animals and understands how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else's care. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to more relaxed or senior pets. My background as an EMT and in healthcare makes me attentive, responsible and calm in situations. I'm very detailed oriented, so ill follow your pet's routine closely- feeding schedules, walks, medications and any other special instructions. whether your pet needs playtime, long walks or just extra love and comfort while you're away, ill treat them like my own! your pet's safety, happiness and well-being are always my top priority! I work Monday through Friday 8am-5pm. I live very close to work and get to go home to walk/ feed my own dog during my lunch time. I have availability Wednesdays and Fridays during 12-1pm to drop in/ walk/ feed your pup! After 5pm I walk my dog again and have availability to also walk/ stop in/ feed yours as well. I don't work weekends and have full availability to be with your pet as needed. Starting October 2026, I'll have availability for Tuesdays, Thursdays and weekends for all services + boarding. Proof of updated vaccinations will be required as I need to protect my own pets as well! I have a fenced in yard and very friendly dog who loves to play and relax with other dogs or cats! My dog gets home cooked meals that are prepped for him to last all week. He also gets kibble mixed in! He loves daily walks/ drives and fresh water! I will make sure your dog also gets walks, food and potty breaks or drives if they love drives! My cat is very social and friendly as well, she tends to be more independent and changing her litter, feeding her fresh food and fresh water for her daily is very important. Cats can be very particular with their water, food and playtime and I will make sure to follow that for your cat.

About: I’ve worked under great trainers in daycare settings. I’ve worked with many different breeds and learning how to redirect bad behavior into positives. I’ve worked with boarding for older dogs and have become familiar with different medications as well as being able to administer them. I have experience with a company that did drop ins, house sittings, & dog walks. i dont have a set schedule until June 8th. I've been working with dogs for many years & this job that i will be in is not in the dog field. I want to fit in dog walks in any way i can to grow my personal doggy business (: Dogs are my passion. I make sure to be very well informed of any medications, any reoccurring behaviors so I am fully prepared to assist with your pet. I’m respectful of your home & will be spending the best time with your pet! If you are looking to reinforce any training I’d like to know, to help with that process. I’d like to be aware of any allergies in case I have treats (: However I can help with your pet, it’ll be a pleasure! (:

Julia was fantastic! I was nervous about leaving our 12 year old blind Boston terrier, for the first time, with a stranger, but Elle took to her immediately. The wonderful photos she sent showed us that she was happy. Julia took wonderful care of Elle and our home too. We have already booked her for 2 more trips!

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.

My dog just went through a few stressful events that has made him very anxious around strangers but he was very comfortable with Joe. We did a meet and greet before booking he did not show signs of anxiousness; in fact he took to Joe immediately licking him on his face. Joe then watched him all day on back to back days over the weekend which went very well. My dog was relaxed all day and did not have any issues. Joe is very flexible, priced extremely reasonable and I look forward to using him again in the future.

Angeli was extremely friendly and professional throughout her stay at our apartment while watching our cat. She came by earlier in the week to meet the cat and ask all the important questions, and followed through on all our instructions. She provided many pictures and reassurances during our time away, and even tidied up before leaving our place. I would highly recommend her services, and we will be hiring her again.

Naomi was so wonderful with my dogs. When we got home, they were so happy and excited. I could tell that they were well cared for. They took to her right away, and they responded to her gentle nature. On a side note, the house was tidy, the weeks mail had been brought in as we requested, and she was a perfect house guest.

Rebecca was great. She stayed with my dogs in my house for a week. She came over before we left to see in person my dogs med routine as she is 17 and has a few. My other dog, who is afraid of everyone took to her very quickly. She also sent me pictures and updates regularly. I would hire her again to watch them in a heartbeat.
