“Can't say enough good things about Judy! She watched our dog Squirt for almost 2 weeks and provided multiple updates and pictures each day. You can tell she truly cared about taking proper care of our dog, she took notes and asked questions about all of his needs. I have used a couple different sitters and she been one of the few who have followed my particular instructions to care for Squirt to a tee. We will definitely be using Judy again ☺️”
“Rich is always so sweet with our pups. We always feel confident leaving them with him and his wife for a long weekend stay or for a day of doggy daycare.”
“Elvia and her family are wonderful. Chloe had the best time!!! Chloe is definitely looking forward to going back to Elvia. Thank you for taking such great care of Chloe ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Tina and Jon went above and beyond to ensure we felt completely at ease leaving our 5-year-old Italian Greyhound in their care while we traveled to Canada. They provided consistent updates throughout our entire trip, sending a plethora of videos and photos that kept us connected to our pup. The fenced-in backyard was a fantastic perk, and we loved seeing all the adventures she went on with them. If you are looking for a five-star pet sitter, Tina and Jon are the ones for you!”
About: My love of dogs led me to start a dog walking business when I was only 10 yrs old. Once I finally convinced my parents to get a dog, I was 15 and we ended up with two bichon-malteses who were the loves of my life. As an adult, my career has me traveling frequently so I haven’t become a pet owner, but I continue to dogsit for friends and neighbors because I love the companionship when I’m home. I am committed to providing your dog a comfortable home away from home where they will be well cared for and loved. I work from home Mondays and Fridays so can be available for care for a long weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon). My availability may be limited based on work travel. I live in a dog friendly building, where there is greenery and walking paths around the building for daily walks and enjoy going for longer walks in nearby parks.
“I would highly recommend Yenis. She is very responsive, willing to take on last minute boarding, and most of all, incredible with my golden! I plan to use her again.”
“Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”
“Excellent. Will hire Ariel again. Pleasant and capable, she followed all care instructions to a tee for my 17 yr old dog. Responsive to all communications and kept me up to date on his well being, which I'm skitzo about because of his age.”
“Clinton and his son Lincoln were fantastic. Lots of pictures and videos along with walks and play sessions. Our pup might have had more fun on vacation than we did. Highly recommend!”
“Karine is the best sitter I have used! She was very patient and took really good care of my nervous Aussie shepherd. Asked question to make sure she was always well taken care of and safe. I loved all the updates and pics of ruby playing and getting along with the family. I trust her and highly recommend her to take good care of your fur babies. Thank you Karine!!”

“We’re so thank to have found Nandita! She’s very professional, her home and backyard are a perfect set up for dogs, and she’s a very sweet person!! We appreciated the pictures and videos she sent while we were away and she truly pampered our pup during his stay. Highly recommend!!”
“Ashley was awesome with Spence! She watched him overnight and took such great care of him. The photo updates she sent were the best and totally put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so nice to see him looking relaxed and completely at home with her. Everything went so smoothly from drop-off to pick-up. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“This was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving Troy with someone and LisaLeigh made the whole process really easy! She kept me updated throughout the weekend and took great care of him. Troy came home happy and tired, which is all I could ask for. I really appreciated how smooth everything went and how flexible LisaLeigh was with the early pickup and drop off time. Will definitely book with her again for next trips out of town!”
“Anner was amazing! He made me feel so comfortable by checking in with me and sending photos of Lucy. She seemed calm and at ease at both pick up and drop off. Have already rebooked! Thank you, Anner!”
“We're so glad that we found Tanya! Daisy had a wonderful time, and I had a rare opportunity to meet a friend for a nice evening in New York City! We will definitely be calling on Tanya again. Highly recommended!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Spending time with animals is my happy place and nothing brings me more joy than caring for and playing with them. I have a great deal of experience taking care of many dogs of various breeds and sizes. I currently have the flexibility to fully dedicate myself to what I would call my dream job which is working with animals. I can go on long or short walks and have an enclosed dog park around my area. I have taken care of dogs with medical problems and have experience giving dogs medicine such as eye drops and pills. I am a quick learner when it comes to the specific conditions the owner has for their dog .

“We love Cassidy! The cats look forward to seeing her, which makes it a little less scary to be away for the week. Thankful for Cassidy and her thoughtfulness, thank you!”
“Daniela is very responsible, thoughtful and organized. She followed all the guidelines precisely. Our kitty was in great hands and looked very happy each time Daniela visited!”
“Stefanie was fantastic! She went above and beyond to take care of our cats. They were well loved and taken care of while we were away, and we will definitely ask her to look after them again in the future. Highly recommend!!”
“They did a great job being flexible with our schedule and taking care of our cats, and being especially vigilant with one who had some unexpected medical issues.”
“Elvia truly went above and beyond in her latest house sit for our cat Dolly. We had an incident at our home shortly before we were scheduled to leave town that required our home to be aired out while we were gone. Elvia was extremely accommodating, understanding, and helpful. All the while taking excellent care of and spending quality time with our sweet kitty. We could not be more grateful to Elvia, and recommend her without reservation!”
“Extremely impressed with Maria taking care of my cat. My cat is newly rescued and very scared of people. While I was away my cat found some places I didn't even know were possible to hide that were probably not very safe for a cat. Maria went out of her way to get my cat out, and prevent her from going back. By the end of the week my cat was even opening up a bit towards her.”
“Michelle took great care of my dog when I was away. She was on time, communicative and responsive when needed. I’d highly recommend her to other local pet parents.”
“Aaron did a great job! My cat, Moo, can be shy but, mid-way through the catsitting, she was coming out for pets from him. The visits were always prompt and, as requested, a 1/2 long with accompanying pictures. Aaron is very professional and I 10/10 would hire him again.”
“Chris was great with my puppy! Very attentive to both my needs and my puppy’s needs during his visits. Great communication and photos to ease my nerves. I’m would highly recommend him for any of your pets needs!!”
“Nicole was so great with our cat Pepper! She sent so many photos updates and was super communicative throughout the time watching her. Would highly recommend!”
About: Not only have I had cats growing up, but I currently have two of my own and have been lucky enough to be trusted with watching other owners' babies throughout my life. I am familiar with all things from brushing, feeding finicky cats, and soothing super shy cats to the the outgoing, energetic ones who are all playtime all the time! I hope to meet you and your fur family soon!
“Thanks Katie for taking excellent care of our cats! You get big kudos for getting a photo of our VERY shy kitty. Thank you for making it through the snow to make sure they got fed too! We'd love for you to come back when our kitties need you again.”
“Annabel did a great job for my 2 cats while I was away for a week. She sent great pictures and even cleaned up when they got into a treat bag one day. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole is a thoughtful, responsible and caring sitter who goes above and beyond to provide excellent care for my pets. She is careful and respectful, always leaves my house better than she found it, and I come home to happy dogs and cat. She treats my pets as if they were her own. ❤️”
“Janine was excellent! My apt access is complicated and she was so patient with me and the instructions. Will definitely reach out to her again for cat sitting in the future.”
“LisaLeigh really helped us out when we were in a bind. She was communicative and took great care of our two pups for the night. I will absolutely be calling her again!”

“When I told our little dog that we were going to visiti Tina & Jon, she couldn't stop jumping for joy! We once took our dog to doggie daycare. They said, she just stayed with the "human" in the room. Playing with Tina & Jon's 2 little dogs has helped ours enjoy playing with other 4 legged animals with glee : )”
“Judy was so kind, detail oriented, and trustworthy with my senior chihuahua. I left Milly with Judy for the day while I attended a conference. Judy provided routine photos and updates. I could tell Milly was clearly well taken care of when I picked her up - no anxiety”
“Liza made sure Beau was so cared for! She kept him entertained throughout the day and active. He felt so comfortable with her and she was wonderful to communicate with! I felt truly at ease leaving our pup with her.”
“Ryders absolute fav!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I love how much Yenis adores him. Super reliable and my #1 go to! Thanks so much for watching after him in my absence. He loves you!!!!”

“Thank you so much Daniela!! We were in Stamford for the week and instead of leaving Annie at the hotel all day we contacted Daniela and she was so awesome! She was super flexible and accommodating with my schedule bouncing around. Shes so sweet and sends photos to keep you updated on what your fur-child is up to! We will be back and will definitely book again!”
“Josie had such a lovely day with Clinton, his dog, and his son! She got lots of cuddles, time to roam around the fenced backyard, and plenty of window watching, three of her favorite things. Clinton communicated well and sent lots of great photos. I’ll definitely be bringing her back!”
About: I have lived with and helped assist in the training of multiple breeds of dogs over the last 10 years. I have fully trained my own dog myself which included house training, leash training, recall and commands. **PLEASE NOTE** - Drop-in visits are for quick potty breaks and play/attention inside a home or fenced in yard. If you'd like a walk for your pup in your neighborhood I kindly ask that you book a 30 minute walk rather than a drop-in. Thank you so much!!! As an entertainment industry worker impacted by the current WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, I have generally open availability to provide care to your pets from Monday-Friday. My furbaby, Cosmo, is a very friendly 18-pound Maltese/Yorkie mix who loves to run and play with other dogs, big or small! He will be around during overnight stays, and occasionally on walks/dog park visits with other pups unless you specify that you prefer he not be present.
About: Hi! My name is Claire, and caring for animals has always been one of the biggest parts of my life. I’ve volunteered and worked in animal rescue for years and have hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m especially experienced with senior pets, anxiety-prone animals, and special-needs dogs, including my own recently adopted blind senior pup. I share my home with three rescue pets (and my boyfriend): • A 3-year-old hound mix • A 5-year-old rescue cat • A blind senior chihuahua mix I work a 9-5 in manhattan, but I have a hybrid work schedule and am available most weekends for pet sitting! I know firsthand how stressful it can feel to trust someone new with your pets. I’ve been there! That’s why I prioritize communication, reliability, and customization. I follow your pet’s routine exactly, respect any rules or preferences you have, and send plenty of photos and videos so you always feel connected and reassured. I’d love the chance to care for your pets and give them the safe, loving experience they deserve. I hope to meet you and your fur babies soon! AVAILABLE ON WEEKENDS! ( and most weeknights) I work a hybrid work schedule and am mostly working remote from home so I am available my work from home days as well!! I take my dog on lots of hikes on the local hiking trails, which he loves and can take your dog there too if you want! If you’re more comfortable with them just getting a simple walk around your neighborhood, I’m happy to accommodate that as well!
“Wonderful experience with Lindsay! My 17-year-old Havanese has pretty bad separation anxiety, but he felt right at home with Lindsay and her three pups. From the moment we met, I knew he was in good hands. She has such a calm, caring energy, and it was easy to see how comfortable and relaxed he was while staying with her. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust completely — highly recommend!”
About: Ive been a professional dog walker for 7 years in my neighborhood. Everywhere I go they ask where are the dogs?? Ive had many satisfied clients. I have slots for more dogs daily. Small dogs are my preference since I have in a small area for them to play in. Overnights are fine too. I have a main play room in my space for smaller dogs. Large dogs may need an overnight pen to rest in overnight for dogs over 30 pounds.
About: I have had dogs, cats and birds my whole life. I love all animals and my pets are my kids!

I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs while they’ve been away, handling feeding, walks, and daily routines. It’s helped me build trust and confidence in caring for dogs in others’ homes. I enjoy long walks around Harbor Point and always prioritize your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness.

I also take care when entering and leaving your home by checking doors and gates, and I always treat your space with respect. Every dog is cared for with the same compassion and reliability I give my own.
“Wendy is fantastic. She walked my dog all week (who isn’t always the easiest dog to take on walks) but did a great job and gave him a great workout. She showed up on time, went for good leisurely walks and let me know if anything was amiss. One day my pup wasn’t feeling well and she even stayed late to make sure he was ok and settled in! Would definitely recommend especially if you need a repeat walker.”
“Luke is wonderful - always arrives right on time and is enthusiastic. The dogs can’t want for his arrival each day! The dogs wait eagerly by the door and are exhausted when they come home.”

“Can't say enough good things about Judy! She watched our dog Squirt for almost 2 weeks and provided multiple updates and pictures each day. You can tell she truly cared about taking proper care of our dog, she took notes and asked questions about all of his needs.

“Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”

I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel happy and comfortable. I care for pets by creating a safe, calm, and loving environment while following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised playtime, walks, feeding on schedule, and a comfortable space to relax and feel at home. In a client’s home, I respect their pet’s routine, environment, and instructions to help keep things familiar and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, dietary needs, and comfort, and I make sure owners receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“We’re so thank to have found Nandita! She’s very professional, her home and backyard are a perfect set up for dogs, and she’s a very sweet person!! We appreciated the pictures and videos she sent while we were away and she truly pampered our pup during his stay. Highly recommend!!”
“Ashley was awesome with Spence! She watched him overnight and took such great care of him. The photo updates she sent were the best and totally put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so nice to see him looking relaxed and completely at home with her. Everything went so smoothly from drop-off to pick-up. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Anner was amazing! He made me feel so comfortable by checking in with me and sending photos of Lucy. She seemed calm and at ease at both pick up and drop off. Have already rebooked! Thank you, Anner!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Spending time with animals is my happy place and nothing brings me more joy than caring for and playing with them. I have a great deal of experience taking care of many dogs of various breeds and sizes. I currently have the flexibility to fully dedicate myself to what I would call my dream job which is working with animals. I can go on long or short walks and have an enclosed dog park around my area. I have taken care of dogs with medical problems and have experience giving dogs medicine such as eye drops and pills. I am a quick learner when it comes to the specific conditions the owner has for their dog .
“Denise watched my dog Paddy for over a week while he was recovering from Lyme’s. She was very friendly, kind and assuring during this period. She also communicated with me daily and sent updates and pictures. I would highly recommend.”
“Barbara is TRULY AMAZING with my dog Bentley . This was his 2nd stay and she’s made me more than comfortable this time around . She followed all the directions giving regarding my dog. He i truly didn’t have any worries concerns ...”
“Our second time booking with Kevin and just as amazing as the first time! Except this time he also watched our tinier senior dog in addition to our other dog and puppy. All three pups seemed like they had a great time! He catered to each of their personalities/size/temperament and sent pictures and updates throughout their stay.”
“Katherine was so helpful taking our dog Ellie last minute on Thanksgiving. She was even kind enough to have her for one more day last minute, while we had guests in town! She sent pictures and was very responsive! Would absolutely use Katherine again in the future!”
“As an anxious dog mom who gets nervous leaving my guy, I would recommend Lindsay to anyone I know! My pup instantly loved spending time with Lindsay and I could tell when I picked him up, he was so happy. I received pictures and videos with updates all weekend which allowed me to actually enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands! We will 100% always take our guy to Lindsay whenever we need someone to watch him! Lindsay was incredible!!”
“Stephanie was so great I would recommend her to anyone! She sent pictures and updates everyday! She was super easy to contact and flexible with booking! Winston had a lovely time and I would definitely have her look after him again!”
