Pet Sitting Upper West Side

About: Dogs are a part of the family and they deserve the best life possible through all the sniffaries and enrichment their hearts desire. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and I currently have an aussiedoodle with special dietary and grooming needs and foster pups through MuddyPaws NYC. I only take 1 dog at a time (in addition to my own) so your pup gets the attention they need. While I’m not a professional dog trainer, I strongly believe in constantly and consistently training dogs through positive reinforcement only. I do not go to dog parks or let dogs off leash for their own safety and to avoid reactivity. I’m well versed in dog body language and believe mental enrichment activities along with physical exercise leads to a happier pup. I love taking pups to any place that is dog-friendly because they too deserve to explore the world and live their best lives possible. I have a flexible schedule during the week which allows me to care for all your dog’s needs and take them out for regular walks. It would be helpful to have a general overview of your pup’s personality and I’ll follow any instructions you have. To avoid reactivity and for safety, I do not take dogs into dog parks or let them off leash ever. I have a patio for smaller dogs (20lbs or less) to go outside but larger dogs are not allowed since it is 5 stories up and has a 4ft wall on 2 sides. I will care for your dog like they’re my own since they deserve the world.

“Lynn took great care of my cat during her drop in visits! She is very good at reading the always changing moods of a cat and interacting accordingly. She stayed in communication with me and sent lots of nice photos and updates. I definitely recommend you book her to have peace of mind that your pet gets some love while you’re away!”

“Beth was excellent with Teddy and a huge help for our last minute weekend away. We especially appreciated her through notes about her visits and her pictures of Teddy. Would highly recommend!”

Kevin M.

“Mary was great! Super communicative and took great care of our kitty while we were gone. It was so much easier to be away from home knowing that she was watching our cat, and all the pictures and updates we got were awesome!”

Alice S.

“Roman was fantastic with Eminem, my 16 year old cat who needs some medication and extra attention. It’ll definitely be rebooking him in the future.”

Chris R.

“Ayanna seems very kind and dependable. I am so glad she will be house and pet sitting while we are gone and the animals will have the comfort of her presence while we are away. I think they will feel lucky.”

Sandra S.

“Daniel responded to a last minute holiday booking for our cat. He was a lifesaver and provided great care to our little guy. He was able to navigate our apartment/instructions without a meet & greet beforehand. A plus is that our very shy cat was willing to come out and greet him. We will definitely book with him again!”

Lauren S.

“Kerra and Chris took great care of my kitties!! They were very responsive and sent many videos along with photos and a detailed update every day. They also were upfront and told me about any unexpected delays about timing of starting the visit, even if it would only be by an hour or two. I will definitely be using them again! Thank you!”

Courtney K.

“Emily was fantastic! She followed all instructions and even went above and beyond by bringing in some big packages that arrived and suggesting to turn on the a/c to make the room more comfortable for my pet. Couldn’t be happier.”

Nathan S.

“Ody was amazing! My dog has a little bit of stranger danger, but she warmed up to Ody super quickly. Ody was also very prompt with her drop in visits and you can tell that she is very knowledgeable about caring for dogs. Would 100% rebook with Ody and recommend her!”

Jenny Y.

“Frank was great! He shared helpful information about our pup during his drop in visit and put us at ease! Would definitely ask him for another visit!”

Eric & Taylor S.

“Juan was great during our drop in visit and even got my pretty shy cat to come out for some time :) He responded super timely and was responsive when setting up the booking”

About: I've owned and cared for dogs for over 10 years, and always take a loving, friendly, and compassionate approach when it comes to pet care. I also have years of experience with watching and walking friends' dogs when they're away, making sure the dogs have everything they need and more. I also have experience with taking care of cats and rabbits! I work from home on Mondays and Thursdays and I'm around most weekends (Saturdays and Sundays). I will often be available on these days to care for your dog! I will follow any and all instructions you have for your dog while in your home, and will make sure they're getting the attention and care they need, from giving them walks, feeding, play time, and more. I'm very attuned to the needs of dogs, and know that I'd offer quality, reliable care for your pet.

“Martina was great and very communicative the whole time! She sent lots of pictures and followed all instructions. Based on the video and pictures she sent, I know my cats loved her—she gave them plenty of affection and play time!”

About: Hi! I am a premed neurology researcher on the Upper West Side looking to support my application fees. I currently have a medium-sized dog named Alfie who I take on long walks everyday in Central Park (only 2 blocks from my apartment). I grew up with pomeranians and fostering large and small dogs so I am familiar with different temperaments and sizes. I am currently waiting to start my new position so I am available to care for your furry family member at your convenience. Once I begin my role, I only work three days a week so I can still walk your dog then as well. I have a 40-lb Keeshond who is very friendly and loves to play. If you are looking for boarding, my dog will be in the apartment as well but I can make sure they get acclimated.

“Anogue was great! She was very communicative and took excellent care of my cat and home. And happily book with her again and recommend her services!”
