About: I recently moved to Kennsington / Windsor Terrace and am looking for a dog to walk in the area to familiarize myself with the neighborhood, get exercise, and extra cash. I also do cat care and check-ins for travelers. I could potentially host the right animal in my apartment. More specifically, I am seeking short-term in-house pet care for October 22 - November 4th when my mother visits town. If this fits your description, please reach out! With my schedule I am available for mid day walks between noon and 4pm, perfect for when you’re in the office worried sick about your pets at home. I use my best judgment and respect the privacy of your personal information and honor your pets, belongings and space. I am always a phone call and a text away to address concerns or changes.
“She was great with Max. Max loved her, she is very kind and cooperative. She updated me with lovely pictures of him and took great care of him. I would definitely have her take care of him again.”
“Emerald was sooo great with Autumn. She sent so many pictures and updates without me even having to ask. I knew Autumn was in good hands with her and Minty. 10/10 reccomend!”
“We are so grateful for Ekaterina and family's loving care of our senior dog Gil this summer! I didn't know how he was going to manage so many weeks away from home, but Ekaterina is exceptionally reassuring and capable. She handled his medications and temperament with true care and skill. We feel very lucky to have found her. Thank you again!”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog with a sitter at first since this is the first time she would be boarding away from home, but Ziwei's dedication and attention to detail truly put my mind at ease. I received daily photo updates that not only warmed my heart but also reassured me that Fancy was in excellent hands. I feed fresh food to Fancy along with some supplements and Ziwei was able to follow instruction without any issue. She also updates me on walks, how Fancy is getting along with her two lovely dogs Rainbow and Nana and anything she finds cute that happens among the three of them. It seemed like Fancy had a good time and was well taken care of.”
“Yiqi took care of my two big babies like they were their own! I have never seen them so happy at any other boarding services! 100% would rebook and recommended!”
“Lucky was cared for amazingly and i was sent pictures updating me and showing me him having a great time looking happy healthy and well taken care of. I will be leaving lucky with you guys again whenever i travel in the future”
“Doris was awesome with accommodating a last-minute request to board Brownie due to an event. I was having at home. Drop off and pick up we’re extremely easy and she sent me photos of Brownie several times. Doris and her daughter were very gentle with her, and I would definitely recommend her services!”
“I’m thrilled to have found Eroxis. She boarded our dog Phil for a week and it was a fantastic experience. It’s clear she is an animal lover and Phil got great care and lots of love. She was prompt to reply, sent heart-melting photos and made us feel confident. I cannot recommend Eroxis more highly and look forward to having her take care of Phil in the future.”
“Patrice took wonderful care of Minnie during her 3-night stay. I felt at ease knowing Minnie was in good hands, and it was nice receiving daily photo updates. Minnie looked happy and well cared for the entire time. I’d definitely recommend Patrice and would trust her to watch Minnie again!”
“Pamela and her family were the very best Dogsitter I’ve ever had! We have used many dog sitters both in our home and boarding and this was hands-down. The best experience. Pam Eila sent so many pictures and her whole family gave JoJo so much love. If I could leave 1 million stars, I would. Will use again! Thank you Pamela!”
“Deanna took such good care of my baby girl! I loved my daily updates and felt so much peace knowing she was in such great hands! Highly recommend and will definitely utilize her services again!”
“This was our first time boarding our puppy. From start to end, really great experience with Megan! Good open communication and she was very accommodating to our schedule.”
“Cesar was a great sitter for our dog Soski. We were gone 9 days and got regular photo and video updates and communication. We felt peace of mind leaving our buddy with Cesar. He was also very understanding when he had a flight delay issue, so we’re grateful for his patience with us! We hope to book again with Cesar in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Kecia was great for watching my dog for 1 night! I had to book her last minute and she was really responsive and fast to my request. My dog Riley had a great time staying at her place with other dog companions. Would definitely use her again!”
“Valerie has another great start with Rachel! One of her favorite people on the planet. Rachel took great care of Valerie and sent lots of pics during the stay!”
“I had a really positive experience with Maria, even though Lucy ultimately wasn’t able to stay for the booking. Maria was sweet, professional, and very communicative throughout the entire process. She took the time to do a meet and greet with us beforehand, which went really well, and I appreciated how attentive and honest she was when Lucy became nervous after drop-off. Since this was Lucy’s first time being away from me, I completely understood and appreciated Maria putting everyone’s comfort and safety first. She kept me informed the entire time and handled the situation with kindness and professionalism. I would definitely recommend Maria to others and truly appreciate the care and communication she showed us. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Anky was very communicative throughout the whole stay, taking time to send multiple updates each day. She also took my pup to the dog park almost every day! My dog had a blast staying at Anky’s and I’d highly recommend booking with her”

“Tracy took care of my rabbits when my family was having an emergeny and I couldnt have asked for someone more perfect for the job to look after them while we were away even without meeting us last minute. She had no problems with getting access to our home and kept in touch througout the whole visit reassuring me and my gf that our pets are in good hands. Highly recommend 👌”
“Our experience with Elena was fantastic. She's a really lovely woman! We boarded our kitty Halsey with her for 7 days and we couldn't be any happier. She clearly loves cats and sent us updates and photos while we were on our vacation. Her apartment had many places for cats to hang out and play. The communication was great as she replied via text or phone usually in minutes. We travel every so often and we would not hesitate to use her again.”
About: I grew up with dogs around me since I was 10! I have experience with senior dogs and those that are sick or post-op. I also work well with high- (and low) energy dogs! I am also usually the go-to for boarding among my friends and family! 😎 I’m currently working a typical 9am-5pm full time job. My availability are as follows: available for boarding on weekends; can walk your dog(s) or drop-in after 5:30pm on weekdays but anytime on weekends; always available to house-sit! For boarding, I have plenty of space in my home for your fur baby(s)! I can easily crate them if needed. As I recently moved, I had to leave my fur babies behind with my family back home so it won’t be a worry if your fur babies don’t get along with other dogs :) For house-sitting/drop-in visits, anything you and your fur baby’s needs!
About: Most of my experience with cats has been spending time with friends’ cats, and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know their different personalities. I know cats can take some time to warm up, so I’m happy to let them come to me at their own pace rather than forcing attention. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter area, playtime if they’re up for it, and some calm company. I’m also attentive to changes in their behavior and will keep you updated while you’re away.
“Hannah, thank you so much for caring for our little darlings! We know they can be a lot, and Bootsy is tough to feed. We appreciate your consistent updates and pics, your specificity and professionalism. You also did a good job of understanding who they are individually. We are really grateful we were able to have a weekend away during which neither Bootsy nor I had a panic attack!”
“Cindy was an outstanding sitter for our little Sarah. Every drop in visit Cindy provided updates and photos of Sarah and was extremely thoughtful and informative, which helped us feel more at ease considering we had never left Sarah in someone else’s care. Cindy is welcome back anytime, we can’t recommend her more.”
“On short notice, Ekaterina was able to meet and look after my senior cat for 3 drop-in visits. She did an excellent job (as evidenced by my cat being in good spirits went I returned). In particular, I really appreciated the many pictures and videos she sent me of my cat from during her visits. Overall, I'd recommend Ekaterina highly to anyone in the Bay Ridge area looking for a pet sitter.”
“Amy was super conscientious, communicative and always punctual. She asked a lot of questions and made sure to clarify details ahead of time. She took a lot of photos and clearly took good care of our cat, who can be quite picky! She even tried different strategies to keep our cat engaged and entertained during our time away. Would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Andy was amazing from start to finish. He followed all my care instructions, kept everything clean and organized, and sent great updates and pictures everyday. This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous but Andy did a great job with my 2 cats. I will definitely be booking him again!”
About: I have experience caring for cats and love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to their individual routines and needs. I’m also very reliable and follow instructions carefully, giving pet owners peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I’ve rescued and cared for a few cats over the years, so I know they’re not small dogs. Some want to hang out the whole visit, some watch me from under the bed for a week, and both are fine with me. I let the cat set the pace. I’ll keep feeding and litter exactly on your routine, scoop daily, and play if your cat is up for it. Comfortable giving pills if needed. And I always send photos, even if it’s just a paw sticking out from behind the couch.
“Lisa is so lovely - I love knowing a fellow cat mom is taking care of my buddy. She gave him great company and did a wonderful job of cleaning up after my cat to make it easier for me! Fantastic photos and communication.”
“Melissa was so amazing with my cat, Broccoli. I had to leave last minute, and she was able to help me out in a pinch! This was my first time using the app, and she really helped walk me through the process and make me feel comfortable with everything. She took great care of my cat, and I'll definitely try to use her again!”
“Heather is so wonderful! She goes above and beyond and just truly loves animals. My favorite thing about her is that she’s SUPER knowledgeable about pets and knows how different their needs can be. She’s patient and flexible and provides the exact custom treatment every pet deserves. Can’t recommend Heather enough!”

“It was a pleasure having Ekaterina watch our 7 month old puppy, Coco for the day. She kept us fully informed with pictures and updates. Definitely recommend!”
“We know our Cody boy had a great day when he runs up and hugs us at pick up and then immediately falls asleep in the car! From start to finish, Ziwei was amazing. She was outside waiting for us upon pickup, sent tons of photos and videos throughout the day, and waited for us when we came to pick up our boy. Incredibly friendly, professional, and courteous. Can't wait to work with her again!”
“Chelsie was so helpful with a last minute booking. She had some of the best communication that we’ve had on the app and provided so many photos throughout the day. Worm loved hanging out with Chelsie and Isles and we’re looking forward to booking again!”
“Maria was awesome throughout the whole process, she kept me updated and made sure that freya was safe and comfortable as well as taking her out for plenty of walks. You can feel comfort knowing your pet will be in good hands. Thank you!”
“This was my first time using a dog sitter and I’m so pleased with Esther’s service. She showed Zoe great care and affection, and she provided me with updates / photos throughout the day. I will definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you, Esther!”
“Lea was great with my dog Cooper and took great care of him. He’s a basenji which can be a challenging breed at times but he was super comfortable with her and felt very much at home in her place. I look forward to using her for dog sitting services again!”
“Gabrielle was very accommodating and my dog Otis was comfortable with her right away. We met at a nearby park the day before for introductions. When I dropped him off early the next day , she took him out on a nice walk to distract him. I know he was happy since at the end of the day, he calmly hopped into my car. When he is antsy or nervous after a day with a sitter, he will bark at me! We will definitely use her again!”

Growing up in Seattle, my family always had dogs, cats, and even chickens, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.

“Patricia took care of my 2 month old puppy, Honor on weekdays while I was at work until he turned 5 months old. Patricia did a great job letting him out in the fenced in backyard for potty training. She knew how to correct his puppy biting. She made sure that she fed him and mixed in peanut butter to ensure that he ate his food. She did a wonderful job taking care of Honor for the last 3 months. He was well taken care of. Also, her son Teo loves playing with Honor. He got socialized well when Patricia takes Honor with her to pick up her son. I would book her again in the future.”

I would book with her again a million times because I felt completely happy and at ease with the entire experience.”

About: When I was a child my family owned and cared for dogs, horses, bunnies, and chickens which meant I became an animal caretaker at a very young age. In addition to helping to feed, groom, and clean up after our pets, I was aIso responsible for administering our dog’s daily diabetes insulin. My childhood prepared me well for becoming a dog mom to a longhaired dapple Dachshund in early 2021. I cannot imagine my life without him and cannot wait for your furbaby to become his furbuddy! I'm also the proud owner of Boogs & Boop, a small business specializing in pet accessories, with a portion of proceeds donated to supporting animal shelters and dogs in need. This commitment reflects my deep passion for caring for dogs and their well being. I work full time from home, so Dog Mom is my 24/7 job title. I am conveniently located near a park so go on at least two walks a day, weather permitting. DAYCARE CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: 1. Daycare refers to drop off between 8-9am and 5-6pm, a 8-hour period. 2. Pick-up and drop-off times for Daycare must be scheduled in advance through direct message. 2. Late arrivals of more than 30 minutes will be charged an additional $5 per 30 minutes that you are late. Late arrivals risk interfering with other appointments, so this fee helps to accommodate that change. 3. Drop offs before 8am are subject to an Early Drop-off Fee of $10 per hour. 4. Pick up after 6pm are subject to a Late Pick-up Fee of $10 per hour. 5. Pick up after 9pm is considered boarding which is subject to double my Daycare rate. HOUSE-SITTING CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: During house sits, I typically continue my normal schedule with other pet care clients (walks, drop-ins, etc.), so I may be out of the home for portions of the day. If your pet requires near-constant or 24/7 care, please let me know in advance. I may be able to accommodate, but this would require adjustments for my own dog and existing clients and may involve an additional fee. I care for pets in my home since I also have my furbaby to attend to. This means there’s always healthy treats, pee pads, dog wipes, and pet first aid products on hand. I understand that being away from your furbaby can be nerve-wracking, but you can rest assured that I will provide clear communication and photo updates when your pet is in my care. I do not have an attached yard, but the park is a hop, skip, and a jump away, so it’s easy to take potty breaks whenever necessary. PLEASE NOTE: 1. Please arrive with your pet on a leash. I am a strong advocate for pet safety and leash laws. 2. I do not allow guests into my home, but would be happy to meet you downstairs at drop-off and pick-up times. 3. I will ALWAYS send photos throughout the appointment, even if not directly requested. INCLEMENT WEATHER DISCLAIMER: I take all weather advisories seriously. When the heat index is above 90°F degrees or windchill is below 20°F walks will be cut short for your pet's safety and for my own. Walks will consist of “doing their business” then returning indoors. Regular service is maintained in the rain, but will be postponed due to thunder, lightning, or blizzards. Walks may be early or delayed depending on the forecast. I will always communicate with dog owners if a change of plan is necessary due to dangerous weather and temperatures. Thank you for your understanding.
“Joana was right on time and did a great job walking Athena. Athena was so happy to see Joana. She followed all of instructions and provided regular updates about her arrival status.”
About: I have over 15 years of caring for pets, most recently the last 6 years with my 5 kitties in Brooklyn. I am a cat rescuer as well as a foster, and can take amazing care of cats big and small, old and young, sick and healthy. I am experieced with various breeds and needs. I grew up around dogs of all sizes and ages as well and would love to meet yours! Very patient and love playing fetch and going on walks to explore the neighborhood.

I ensure a consistent food and water schedule as well as daiily playtime and affection. I prioritize keeping the litter boxes clean and the dogs walked consistently.

“We are so grateful for Ekaterina and family's loving care of our senior dog Gil this summer! I didn't know how he was going to manage so many weeks away from home, but Ekaterina is exceptionally reassuring and capable. She handled his medications and temperament with true care and skill. We feel very lucky to have found her. Thank you again!”

“I’m thrilled to have found Eroxis. She boarded our dog Phil for a week and it was a fantastic experience. It’s clear she is an animal lover and Phil got great care and lots of love. She was prompt to reply, sent heart-melting photos and made us feel confident. I cannot recommend Eroxis more highly and look forward to having her take care of Phil in the future.”
“Pamela and her family were the very best Dogsitter I’ve ever had! We have used many dog sitters both in our home and boarding and this was hands-down. The best experience. Pam Eila sent so many pictures and her whole family gave JoJo so much love. If I could leave 1 million stars, I would. Will use again! Thank you Pamela!”
“Deanna took such good care of my baby girl! I loved my daily updates and felt so much peace knowing she was in such great hands! Highly recommend and will definitely utilize her services again!”
“This was our first time boarding our puppy. From start to end, really great experience with Megan! Good open communication and she was very accommodating to our schedule.”
“Cesar was a great sitter for our dog Soski. We were gone 9 days and got regular photo and video updates and communication. We felt peace of mind leaving our buddy with Cesar. He was also very understanding when he had a flight delay issue, so we’re grateful for his patience with us! We hope to book again with Cesar in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Valerie has another great start with Rachel! One of her favorite people on the planet. Rachel took great care of Valerie and sent lots of pics during the stay!”
“I had a really positive experience with Maria, even though Lucy ultimately wasn’t able to stay for the booking. Maria was sweet, professional, and very communicative throughout the entire process. She took the time to do a meet and greet with us beforehand, which went really well, and I appreciated how attentive and honest she was when Lucy became nervous after drop-off. Since this was Lucy’s first time being away from me, I completely understood and appreciated Maria putting everyone’s comfort and safety first. She kept me informed the entire time and handled the situation with kindness and professionalism. I would definitely recommend Maria to others and truly appreciate the care and communication she showed us. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Anky was very communicative throughout the whole stay, taking time to send multiple updates each day. She also took my pup to the dog park almost every day! My dog had a blast staying at Anky’s and I’d highly recommend booking with her”
“Just picked up Winston from his second time doing daycare with Abbas, and we couldn’t be happier! Abbas takes care of our dog like he is his own & is super communicative the entire time we’re gone. We are so happy to have found a consistent sitter for Winston and would recommend his services to anyone!”
“Wonderful care! Our dog felt completely at home and was in great shape after her stay with Margaret. Super responsive and helpful, will definitely board our dog with her again.”
“Vera was great! She provided updates and photos during Hunter’s stay. It really helped that her dog Gryff was around to keep Hunter company as well. We’ll definitely be using Vera again in the future :)”
“My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.”
“Katerina was amazing with Bunny! She was communicative and professional. Bunny can be shy to warm up, but she did so quickly with Katerina. I would book Katerina again!”
“Oh my God, Patricia is absolutely amazing. This was our first time booking her and she did an excellent job at making us feel comfortable. Patricia sent tons of photos and updates throughout Kovu’s stay. We truly appreciate the time Kovu bonded with you. Thank you so much. 10/10, definitely recommend 💕.”
“Astro was incredible with Dahlia, who seemed like she enjoyed every minute of her stay! It was very apparent that Astro treated Dahlia like her own pup, taking great care to keep her daily routines intact, even asking me about dog park suitability and walking habits. She assured me she could handle quite a strong dog, given her experience, and I had zero concerns the entire time. She also sent great photos and videos and checked in unprompted, which I really appreciated. I would recommend Astro to anyone, and would be grateful if Dahlia had the chance to stay with her again! Thank you Astro for taking such good care of our girl.”
