Definitely recommend.”

She kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her kids were completely in love with Arepa, and it was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. Michele truly treated him like her own. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter. Thank you so much, Michele!”

We highly recommend her to anyone who wants their baby puppy to be well cared for. We will definitely take our baby to Vanessa again. So happy we found her! We Love Her!!!!”

She treated Hazelnut with so much love and was very responsive with her needs. She would send us pictures and notes regarding Hazelnut while we were away. We will always feel confident with Ariella watching our dog Hazelnut in the future and we highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!”

Nilka is so diligent with walks and photos and communication too. Top recommendation for Nilka and her family. Thank you very much!”
“Ben took great care of my sweet girl, Penelope, so much that she didn't even notice me when I came to pick her up! He sent many photos and videos of her running around, sleeping, and getting fresh air. I was nervous searching for a dog sitter out of fear of her being mistreated. Ben assuaged all of my fears the second that I met him. His energy is very calm and welcoming. He spoke to his dog, my dog, and a third dog that he was watching with such love and tenderness. I will be contacting him again when I need a sitter.”
“Appa stayed with Katerina for 4 days. Katerina kept us posted with his daily activities. She checked in with us if Appa could have watermelon which shows her attentiveness to his diet. She sent pictures and videos of Appa. Katerina is a great sitter, will use her again.”
“Absolutely recommend! They were reliable, caring, and clearly love dogs. We’ll definitely be booking them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive care.”

About: I grew up with cats, actually! While I currently dont have the ability to adopt my own fuzzies again, I do help out with friends who go on vacations and things like that. **I also do bunnies! I was an ARBA registered judge and show rabbit breeder, 4H judge, and 4H instructor and animal trainer.** Pregnant and not allowed to change your kitty's potty? Or maybe youre like my friends and you have to be out of town for a vacation or family meeting, but cant take your fuzzies with you. Some cats do not do well with a boarding kennel situation, so skip the stress and giving them anxiety- hire someone to come check on them at home! Kittens to seniors, all are welcome- even the grumpy ones. Are they on a diet? Do they like tube treats? Even if they made a stinky, I will dump all of the litter out & wash the pan, then put the bag outside in the trash bin so that its not smelling up the house. History: My mother had a long haired tortie before I was born (she tolerated me as much as she was willing from what I was told) and when I was 4, we adopted a creamsicle boy from the neighbors (orange & white tabby). That cat was my best friend for 13 years before I had to say goodbye. We waited a bit, then went to the shelter and adopted a shorthair baby tortie that was really more of my mother's cat (like the previous tortie, although I didnt pick her because of the color). I'd drop in from college and even visit from out of state years later to take care of the tortie while my mother was on vacations. She was a very shy, quiet cat vs my creamsicle who was a big bold boy (he was just a massive cat, not overweight) and even though she knew who I was, I wasnt HER person, therefore my only purpose (to her) was food, water, and litterbox cleaning. Even though I used to play with her when she was younger, I respected her boundaries because in her defense, I *did* move out after the first few years of her life. She lived to be 16. Meanwhile I adopted a little white sock, white blaze, gray tabby girl just after college and had her for only 7 years before her number was called. She was a little purr machine cuddle bug until the day she took her final nap. After the loss of her and my dog, I personally havent had the time or housing requirements to be able to own pets again, so I do what I can to help other busy pet parents!
“I couldn’t have asked for a better catsitter than Anastasiia! She took such wonderful care of my fur baby, Sebastian, while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, well-fed, and loved. I appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’m so grateful to Anastasiia and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Alexandra did a great job with our 17 year old cat. We were out of town for 3 days and came back to a very clean living space and a very content Isis. Would definitely recommend Alexandra for overnight sitting with your pet!”
“Anna is truly amazing! She would pick up on my kittie habits and communicate with me very promptly when she feels there may be an issue - no matter how small or big. I really appreciated her attention to detail. Overall, Anna's communication is so timely, clear, and thoughtful. And I think that's a strength like none other. My cats also loved her, I don't think they even missed me. I normally feel bad asking the sitters to send me pictures because personally I think it could be a tad bit annoying, but Anna would send me pics when they are being particularly cute or show me how my cats are cuddling with her non-stop! TL;DR, I am traveling for a wedding next weekend, and I already reached out to her to see if she could help me again. I hope Anna can be my kitties' loving and caring aunt forever! Please don't move from NYC!”
“Ariella was a total professional and went above and beyond to drop in on our sweet cat Claude while we were away for almost two weeks. She sent updates and photos daily and really seemed invested in how Claude was doing. She also noticed that a winter storm was due and proactively notified us. She topped up his food and water beforehand, and made sure he would be comfortable if she was snowed in for a day. But that wasn’t even necessary, because she came to visit him at 6 am to beat the snow on day one, and on the second day of the storm had her car dug out and came over to complete her visit. It takes so much to trust someone with your pet and to be in your house, and Ariella earned that right away with us. Thank you Ariella!!!”
About: Hi, my name is ShaAsia! I’m a loving cat owner myself (I have 2 fur babies 🐾), and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets when you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure every cat gets the attention, playtime, and care they deserve. Whether it’s feeding, litter box cleaning, or just giving cuddles, I’ll treat your cat like my own.
“Rachel did a great job taking care of Zu! He needed a friend while I was away and she definitely provided! She also provided all the necessary care and maintenance that comes with a FIV cat. Will definitely reach out to her again.”
“I was really nervous leaving my Sylvester because I never did anything like this before but I must say I would definitely use them again I felt like they were family instead of a sitter for my boy they really were happy to care for him and I was happy I chose them it made my first experience a pleasant one”
About: I first began cat sitting at 16 when a friend of mine travelled out of the country on holiday. Although I have experience in caring for strays in the neighborhood I grew up in, I would say caring for my friend's cat was the first official experience I had where I was not just feeding a cat but cleaning up after it (cleaning the litter box), providing light grooming sessions (brushing) and entertainment through puzzles, toys and enjoying some down time (cuddles). My first job at the private veterinary practice as I got older allowed me to expand my knowledge of basic cat care from feeding and brushing to administering oral or topical medication. Additionally, moving onto an overnight supervisory position at a daycare facility-with special attention to it's "cattery" furthered my experience with understanding feline behavior as well as effective cleaning methods for maintaining their temporary away-from-home arrangements.
About: I have been caring for dogs ever since I can remember and in particular I started caring for them professionally around 5 years ago. I have yet to meet a dog I could not handle, even ones that people would call big and scary. I believe this comes from a firmly held belief that if you treat a dog right, they will stand by you forever. I am experienced with dogs from young to old, small to large, and docile to super hyper. I attempt to accommodate any and all requests to the best of my abilities. In addition I would be more than happy to meet a prospective client free of charge before watching their pet. In general, I am available nightly starting at 7 PM except for Fridays where I am unavailable. Wednesday nights and the Saturday nights I am available from 9:30 PM and onwards. Sundays, I am available all day. In general, I do not watch dogs in my own home. In regards to the pet Owner’s home I do whatever I can to accommodate all safety requests and needs.
About: Former dog owner and shelter volunteer with over 15 years of experience. I’m a go-to sitter for friends and I’m an active runner on the Rockaway boardwalk. I'm very comfortable and capable with all temperaments and energy levels. I have a hybrid work schedule, where I work from home 3 days during the week, and would be able to take breaks for walks. Weekends I am free. I live in a 4th floor walk up that allows pets. Other tenants have dogs. I live less than 1 block away from the boardwalk and beach for walks.
“Valeria was amazing staying with my 2 cats when i was away for a weekend! She took great care of them and sent picture updates everyday. She was also so easy to work with and flexible to my schedule - I almost had to cancel and she was able to work it out with me when I found out I didn't have to cancel! Will definitely have her come watch my boys again ☺️”
About: I am a 23 year old veterinary nurse, currentky working my way to vet school.I love all sorts of animals, but cats hold a special place in my heart! Cats are wonderful animals with unique and sometimes complicated personalities. Once they trust you, they can be some of the most loving little creatures. I've had cats all my life and some of my favorite patients are cats. Right now I don't have a cat, but I love my mom's cat a whole lot.
“Stephanie and Brian are great pet sitters! I felt so comfortable knowing they were taking good care of my cat while I was away. They sent me updates and pictures and were very accommodating. Highly recommend them. Will definitely be rebooking with them in the future!”
“Robert has helped with my cat many times now. I always go back to booking him. He has always accommodated me if it was short notice and I had to run out of town. He is compassionate and happy to help. Aurora loves him!”

I move at their pace and let them show me what they need, whether it’s quiet company, playful engagement, or simple routine support. I work well with all personalities.

“Vanessa is a gem - responsive, polite, clean, caring, loving, and always available. We were looking for a pet sitter who could provide a loving and stable environment for our pup with separation anxiety, as we wanted to reduce his reliance on medication. Vanessa exceeded our expectations, providing a calm and nurturing presence that has greatly benefited our Blaze. We're grateful to have found her, and her care has given us peace of mind. If you're seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter, Vanessa is an excellent choice.”
About: Unleash the Love: Transforming Pet Care into a Tail-Wagging Adventure! I have had the pleasure of caring for a wide range of pets over the past fifteen years, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. During this time, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors, allowing me to provide exceptional care and create a nurturing environment for each pet. I am a highly responsible and reliable caregiver, always ensuring the safety and security of the pets under my care. I am attentive to their individual needs and provide personalized attention, ensuring they receive the love, exercise, and mental stimulation they require. Moreover, I am a strong communicator and believe in building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners. I provide regular updates, photos, and videos to keep owners informed and reassured that their beloved pets are in capable hands. I am also attentive to the specific instructions and preferences of each pet owner, ensuring that their individual needs and routines are met. I am dedicated to providing exceptional care and creating a positive and enriching experience for both pets and their owners. I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to ensure your pet is receiving personalized attention, food, love, exercise, and mental stimulation. I have a house with a large living room that is usually my furry friends' playroom and bedtime. There are no other pets around except my adorable and friendly cat Cher.
“Michele was very accommodating as we needed a last last minute sitter and the pick up time wasn’t finalized. She was flexible and very easy to work with I’ll definitely work with her again when I’m in the area!”
“Judith is amazing she is very pleasant and friendly. My dog was playing and having so much fun while with her. I had to book her last minute and she was available and ready to accommodate my dog again. I would highly recommend her to anyone, she is the best and I’ll be using her services from here on out!!”
About: I've always had animals growing up and I loved taking care of them. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own pets. I made sure they were fed a balanced diet, they had their daily walks, they were upto date with their vaccines. I also made sure that they were well-groomed, given lots of love and attention and spoiled rotten with toys! I currently work full time but I am available anytime after 3pm to pet sit the little cuties and I am free anytime on the weekends. I do not have yard space but I am close to the beach and there are a few parks to take the dogs for a walk!
“Ingrid was an amazing sitter for my 2 boys! St the very last minute, she gave an immediate yes and was graceful and attentive to all their needs. Ingrid sent pictures and videos throughout the entire visit and responded promptly to all my messages. They came home happy and well taken care of. We’ll definitely will be back! 🐾🐾”
“Doris is a very sweet and caring person. She took a great care of my Molly. She gave my girl lots of attention and took her out for walks. I’ll definitely get back to Doris for more help with my girl.”
“Robin was the BEST! She agreed to do a meet and greet with me and even brought her pups to meet my princess Honey. Even though I felt comfortable with her through our chats, meeting her in person beforehand put the cherry on top. Once booked, she took great care of of my Honey girl, sent so many photos and gave me cute updates while I was at work. This was my first booking and definitely will not be the last. She can absolutely be trusted with your fur babies. I’m so glad I took a chance as she made the experience worthwhile. Now my Honey has a home away from home!! Thank you Robin, see you again :)”
“What a lovely person - I’d give her 100 stars if that were an option. To explain, I had to go into my office LAST minute and at 1230 am it was my first time using this app and I posted requests for someone to basically dog sit for the same day- she was immediately responsive even though it was a last minute request. I saw she had already gotten consistent great reviews and I was worried to leave my 7 week old shih tsu (like a baby) with anyone ) -Jameeka she handles all dog ages - she was responsive, kept me updated throughout the day. I even got stuck in traffic on the way for pick up and was late she was fine. The top 3 reasons I give Jameeka 5 stars is because 1) she is the opposite of stressful and worked with my unique needs, 2) she has great communication skills snd 3) it is clear she is an expert - my puppy was returned perfectly she gave me some updates and my puppy was happy and fell right asleep because Jameeka ensured my puppy got play time and exercise time - thank you !”
“I had a wonderful experience with Stephanie as our dog sitter! She took care of my dog overnight and did an amazing job. I received daily updates and adorable photos, which made me feel so at ease. She was incredibly pleasant, accommodating, and truly seemed to care about my pet's well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: For most of my life I have cared for many dogs as a pet owner and a dog sitter for friends, family and clients alike. Currently I freelance as a media professor and my schedule fluctuates from week to week so its always best to check my calendar for availability. The dogs will receive all my love and attention. I thrive off their unconditional love and I love to see them happy. Simple as that.
“Peggy was great! Easy to work with, flexible, and really cared about our dog. We were traveling through her area and she walked Maple both right when we arrived after a 3 hour car drive and right before we picked up Maple with another leg of travel ahead of us- I think she really thought about the fact our dog had been traveling and would need a good long walk ♥️”
“I can tell my doggy likes to go to Rachel's to hang because she always runs inside and seems excited to be there, which makes me feel so much better. Rachel also gets Selmy out of the house for car trips and neighborhood strolls.”
“Words cannot adequately express how amazing Erica is. I showed up nervous and apprehensive, and she was beyond patient and comforting. She kept me updated with texts, photos and videos which were SO appreciated. Rusty slept like a baby after his day of play and is excited for his next visit ♥️?♥️”
“Lina provided exceptional care for my baby, Viper. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. She not only tended to his basic needs but also showered him with love and attention. It was evident that she genuinely cared for his well-being and treated him as if he were her own. Throughout his stay, Lina kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing Viper was happy and content. Additionally, her knowledge and expertise in handling dogs reassured me that Viper was receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Lina to anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter.”

“Anastasiia was great with Johnny! Good communication overall and even tried a little longer during the walk to see if Johnny would have a bowel movement. Johnny came back inside so excited from his walk and I’m beyond grateful for Anastasiia as she made the time to come by to walk Johnny!! Looking forward to having Anastasiia walk Johnny again in the future ☺️”
About: I have been taking care of a dog since I was a little girl Neighbors friends and family And always been an animal lover I really love pets I have plenty of time to take care of your pups I’m available on weekends in weekdays after 8am for the hole week for boarding I have two friendly Yorkie Terriers Name Chanel in emoji I also will be walking your pup feeding your pup playing with your pup in having a good time in I have two crates if needed

“Ariella calmed my anxiety whether she knows it or not! Took care of my nearly 7 month old pup, Alf with confidence and care. Very much look forward for Ariella and Alf to hang out again!”
About: I have had pets, or as I say friends my whole life. For the past 22 years, I have taken care of my own as an adult. I have had both cats and dogs both at the same time. I treat all of my friends like family. I am a dedicated animal lover. I live in Rockaway beach. I am available on Thursdays and Fridays and most weekends. I am available Monday-Wednesday after 6PM. I am very flexible as well to accommodate special requests. I do not have a fenced in yard, however, I take my dog Tina for long walks around Rockaway, on the beach off season, and to the dog run on Shore.
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.
About: I’m a born-again pet person and love spending time with cats and dogs. Over the past five years, I’ve had the joy of fostering cats, providing them with a loving and caring environment while they await their forever homes. I look forward to meeting your furry companions and providing them with the care, attention, and love they deserve while you’re away! I am currently on a career break and have a lot of flexible time to dedicate to house sitting, drop-in visits, and walking your pet. When caring for pets in my client's home, I follow all instructions to a tee and pay careful attention to the changing needs of the animal. I am communicative and responsive should any issues arise.
About: My prominent pet care experience this year is with large dogs and kitties. Most of my dog experience is with big dogs, I’m happy to visit with small doggies too! Apart from pet care, I teach classes across the city (one hour classes throughout the week). It’s great when I have the opportunity to be with animals. It’s a little bit more chore work of course… I give all of the pet owners credit for doing what you do. During all visits I'm available by call or text. I provide quality care yet I do understand that sometimes when you’re away you might want a photo or two.
About: I used to live with 5 dogs and take care of them, walk them twice a day and fed them with baked fresh meat.

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats my whole life. Friends and family have had me house sit and walk their dogs and check in on their cats for many years. I have a bachelor's degree in Animal Science and plenty of experience with small pets, birds and livestock as well! Any animal you have, I can care for. I have experience with medication, wound care, and injections if your pet needs those things as well. I've worked with plenty of seniors, young puppies/kittens, and special needs animals over the years too. I currently only work very early mornings and afternoons on Thursdays and Saturdays. I have time in my schedule to walk, feed, and check in on pets of all sorts. When at your home I can play with your dogs or cats. I can work on basic obedience and crating as well. I will clean any bowls, crates, or play areas needed and have no problem scooping waste from your yard if requested after letting your dog out. I will try my best to make your pet feel safe and comfortable with me at all times.
About: Hello, My name is Julius and I am a Brooklyn based photographer/multimedia artist. I am extremely responsible, amiable, and truly do have a special place in my heart for dogs. I was born and raised among these lovable beings due to my mother and father being dog-enthusiasts. Most importantly, I understand what it takes to raise a happy and healthy canine companion. It should always be kept in mind that dogs are a reflection of their environment and upbringing, therefore, in order to keep your pal happy and healthy lots of love and attention should be given to them! I am very flexible, so I am easy to work with and can adapt well to your schedule. Thank you in advance for considering me to help take care of your pet.
About: Hi, I’m Ruth. I’m the kind of sitter who treats your dog like family. I focus on calm, steady care, clear communication, and making sure your pup feels safe, understood, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I work with all temperaments, from shy rescues to high energy pups who need structure and play. I pay close attention to body language, routines, and comfort cues so your dog settles in quickly. I offer walks, potty breaks, overnight care in your home, medication support, and gentle training reinforcement. I send real time updates with photos and notes so you always know how your dog is doing. I keep things simple and dog centered. I follow your routines closely, maintain a calm environment, and make sure your pup gets the right mix of exercise, affection, and downtime. If you want someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in your dog’s wellbeing, I’m here. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I already structure my time around steady check ins, feeding schedules, enrichment, and quiet companionship. I plan my mornings and evenings with space for visits, walks, and updates, and I keep my afternoons flexible for longer stays or extra attention when a pet needs it. Caring for animals is part of the rhythm of my week, and I move through it with calm consistency so every pet feels supported. I care for pets in a way that keeps them comfortable and grounded, whether I am in my home or my client’s home. I follow routines closely, keep feeding and water schedules consistent, maintain clean litter or potty areas, and move with a calm presence so animals stay relaxed. I spend time observing their comfort cues and adjust my pace to match their needs, offering play, affection, or quiet companionship. When pets stay with me, I create a safe and cozy space that supports their habits and give them steady attention throughout the day. I send updates with photos and notes so owners always feel connected to their pet’s experience.

Definitely recommend.”

She helped with an international pet rescue, picked up a cat I had never met at JFK and cared for him for 4 days before I could make it across the state to pick him up. She is literally a life saver. We could not have followed through with the rescue without her help! She was so attentive to his needs and sent pictures every day. I would recommend her to everybody.”

I was able to enjoy my trip because I knew Toni was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and will continue using her services in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Anton came through for me with a super last-min request and was great with Alfie. He took him to the park to burn off energy, sent plenty of photos, and Alfie was happily tired when I picked him up. Highly recommend!”
