“Mei was incredible! It was our first time leaving our puppy. She was in continual communication to make sure we were comfortable leaving our fur baby. Sending pictures and videos every couple of hours. She had two dogs that were so calm and gentle with our puppy. I would definately recommend her and we will be a repeat customer.”

“This is the second time that I left my dog with Doris. She always does a great job of sending photos and video. When I pick my dog up. He looked in great care and was happy. I will definitely leave him with Doris on my next trip.”

“Sam was great at taking care of our dog. She gave the right amount of updates and was always responsive when we needed to contact her. Our dog seems to have enjoyed her stay, loved the backyard and was always happy in the photos Sam shared. We will definitely try to book Sam again next time we need someone to look at our dog. Definitely recommend.”
“Second time using Teraesa and I must say…her consistency will keep me coming back. Her amazing communication, constant checking in and willingness to go above and beyond says it all for me. She is a “super host” as far as Jazzy and I are concerned. My dog always comes home happier than when I left her and that says alot. Thank you Teraesa…you are officially and forever my dog-sitter!”
“Would definitely recommend Lina!!! She was superb at communication and so on top of it from the second we reached out. She kept us updated on our kitty and sent many photos with lots of cuddles and playtime! Our kitty also got along with her cat, she had a great time!”

“Patricia and her son are amazing dog sitters. My 4-month old beagle Toni was happier than I’ve ever seen her. Patricia updated me and sent me pictures throughout my entire time away. 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!”
“Kecia is fantastic! She is kind and attentive to Olly so I always feel like he is in good hands. I also appreciate how communicative she is. My flight home was delayed so i needed to have a friend pick up Olly and Kecia was flexible in handing him off. I was super stressed at first but she went above and beyond to help us!”
“Five stars for Jane! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I left my beloved pug, Lord Ginsberg, in Jane’s care while I traveled to Mexico, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. Lord Ginsberg is not your average dog. He has his own routines, preferences, quirks, and very strong opinions about comfort. Jane understood all of that immediately. Her patience was absolutely legendary, and she took the time to learn his specific needs and little eccentricities without ever making me feel like I was asking too much. What meant so much to me was how communicative she was throughout my trip. She regularly sent adorable photos and videos of Ginsberg, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. Every update made it clear that he was happy, comfortable, and being genuinely cared for. Jane is not only responsible and attentive, she’s also warm, funny, and incredibly understanding. The best compliment I can give is that I could tell she truly enjoyed Lord Ginsberg’s company. She wasn’t just watching him, she was spending time with him and appreciating his unique little personality. She even came to understand his profound and unwavering love of cheese, which any true friend of Ginsberg quickly learns is a very important part of his worldview. When I came home, I found a happy, relaxed, well-cared-for pug, and that’s every pet parent’s dream. I can’t thank Jane enough for the care, kindness, humor, patience, and attention she showed him. Anytime I travel in the future, I will be hoping Jane is available to take care of Lord Ginsberg again. She has my highest recommendation.”
“Marlow and I are HUGE fans of Erica and her husband - truly it felt like Marlow had such a blast she’d rather stay with them longer if she could. I now fondly call Erica’s home doggy Disneyland and Marlow is already looking forward to the next time she’ll visit. Erica was great about communication, I especially appreciated her detailed dedication in getting to know her pups temperament, personality fit and more, it was clear that Marlow will get the best care with undivided attention.”
“Krystal took wonderful care of our dog, Joules, while we were away for two weeks. We were initially nervous about leaving our older dog for that long, but Krystal made the experience completely stress-free. She kept us updated regularly, gave Joules plenty of attention and long walks, and clearly cared about his well-being. We came home to a happy dog and couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend Krystal!”
“Emerald was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative, sent me so many cute photos and videos, flexible with drop-off and pick-up, and so easy to work with. She has a dog park in her building ,which is amazing, My dog Joy had the best time. Being a dog mom herself, you can tell she truly gets it, and I trusted her with Joy 100%. I highly recommend her to any pet parent. Thanks Emerald, Joy misses you already, I can tell!”
“Erica is the best. This was a very last minute booking and everyone was busy. She was the only one who said yes and it felt like it was meant to be. She took care of my dog very well and I will 100% book her in the future. Thank you Erica”
“Ben was great and send lots of photos with our guy looking happy and healthy. Ben was also really flexible when our travel plans changed and changed again. Was great to work with and our dog was happy and well cared for!”

When I returned from my trip, my cat was much calmer than after previous trips. I am looking forward to working with Lina again. Thank you so much!”

About: Hi! I’ve been taking care of cats since I was 5 years old and have two of my own! I am very good at getting them to approach me and like me, and always respect their boundaries.

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was little. At age 7 I had two cats Cookie and Mimi they’re were my best friends. After gaining experience in caring for my own cats I started to pet sit neighbors, friends, and family members cats. I also have experience with kittens, senior cats, and disabled cats.
About: Hi! I'm Janis—a current college student on a gap semester, excited to meet your pet(s)! I’ve been caring for all kinds of animals since I was young—dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish—you name it! Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs— from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as large breeds like Pit Bulls, Samoyeds, and Labradors. I am open to making exceptions for some large breeds depending on their behavior and after a meet-and-greet. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained experience walking and handling anxious dogs. My experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant has given me strong familiarity with handling medications, special diets, and injury care. I’m highly attentive, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific care instructions to ensure your pet’s safety and well-being. I’m very responsive and make sure pet parents always feel connected by sending frequent photo and video updates. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and bond with them through the activities they enjoy most. I’m currently on a gap semester, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m able to spend most of the day with them, with exceptions for errands, but they will never be left alone, as I live with family. I provide at least 2–3 walks or potty breaks per day, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs and routine. I also accept last-minute bookings whenever possible! I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication at all times. I’m primarily based in Brooklyn, where I live in a house with a fenced front yard and provide most of my pet care services. I also occasionally stay at a second home in Pasadena, Maryland with a large fenced backyard and offer care locally there when I’m in the area. I do not transport pets between locations– services are always provided in one consistent environment to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. During walks, I take a cautious approach by starting in quieter areas with minimal traffic to help pets feel secure, especially in new environments. I always pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I live with my family, so pets will never be left alone if I had to run out, and I always communicate this clearly with owners ahead of time. I currently don’t have other pets in my Brooklyn home aside from fish, which allows me to give your pet my full attention. I can also follow instructions like crating or separating pets if needed.
“I can’t recommend Jackey enough. She is truly wonderful, kind, and so thoughtful. She sent regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She was always responsive and communicative. Most importantly, she was incredibly sweet and patient with my cat, who isn’t the easiest and is currently going through a lot of changes in his life. It was clear she really cared about his comfort and emotional well-being, not just the basics. I came home to a calm, well-cared-for cat, and that means everything to me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable animal person.”
“Lynn is very professional and got our cat Oscar to eat out of her hand (not an easy feat)! She was very meticulous in following our instructions, and did a great job caring for Oscar.”
About: I’ve been around cats for many years and understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and independent, I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing plenty of affection on their terms. I pride myself on keeping litter boxes clean, paying attention to changes in behavior, and providing updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to care for your cat as if they were my own.
About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for cats of friends whenever they travel. I’ve looked after cats with different personalities and routines, always making sure each one feels safe, calm, and cared for in their owner’s absence. My responsibilities included feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, maintaining a clean environment, giving playtime and attention, and closely following each cat’s daily routine and habits. I’m very attentive and caring, and I always take time to notice small changes in behavior or mood to make sure the cats are comfortable and well. I genuinely love animals and treat every cat as if they were my own, with patience, warmth, and responsibility.
“Tracy was just amazing and went above and beyond, was always on time and made sure to keep in good contact with me I will definitely be contacting Tracy for any pet needs”
“Jessie is phenomenal. I have a bunny named Roo and he is (naturally) my baby. Bunnies can be finicky and he doesn’t typically warm up to people quickly, but he LOVED her. She followed all instructions, spent quality time with him over the 4ish days she watched him and sent me plenty of pictures! I’ve had other people watch him before (some of those friends and family) and I have never felt this comfortable leaving him. Don’t hesitate to book Jessie - Roo (me too) is a big fan.”
About: For more than 30 years I have been engaged in the maintenance, care and training of my pets. I love animals, taking care of pets gives me pleasure. I have had many different animals, I have experience in caring for turtles, fish, hamsters and cats.

This experience has helped me become confident handling both energetic and shy dogs in a safe and attentive way. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on Mondays, Fridays, and weekends by appointment. I always try to be flexible and provide reliable communication and photo updates for pet parents. Dogs have been an important part of my life since childhood, and I have over 30 years of experience caring for pets. I have experience with large breeds such as Huskies and Giant Schnauzers, as well as senior dogs and pets who need medication or extra attention. My priority is making every dog feel safe, calm, and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and energy level, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully.

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.

“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.

Can't wait to work with her again!”

About: Hi! NYC local here with a HUGE passion for animals. My family and I have been lucky enough to care for two Yorkies, two Pugs, a German Shepherd, a cat, a chinchilla, a guinea pig, a cockatoo, two parakeets, a turtle, a ball python, and finally, saltwater and freshwater aquariums with beautiful fishies and crayfish combined. With years of pet-loving experience, I love meeting, interacting, and playing with animals of all shapes and sizes. Having lived with so many different animals, I truly believe that each pet is its own individual with specialized needs. In nurturing my since passed nearly 18-year-old blind and deaf Lolita independently from just six years old, my huge soft spot for dogs was inevitable. From being around so many different breeds through my uncle's veterinarian business, I am also familiar with specific breed habits and the right approach to each one. I can assure you that I will always be patient and aware of their behavioral communication cues. I understand how difficult it is for you and your pup to be away from each other, so I always strive to meet your pet's every need. Working from home full-time, I have lots of flexibility for long walks and outdoor play which I thoroughly enjoy anyway. Your pet will feel right at home and you will get loads of pupdates with insta-worthy candids while you're away! I ensure your pet is treated just at home and very comfortable with any last-minute plans. Before confirming any jobs, I am also happy to meet with you and your pet if needed; just reach out c:

“Oksana was perfect for our dog belle! We were visiting from out of town for the day and did a daycare visit. Her location was perfect for an easy drop off and pick up. Most importantly, our Belle loved her and had a great day. Will definitely use her again!”

“Alex was great with my male Bernese Mountain Dog weighing 130 pounds. He handled my dog confidently and calmly, which is especially important given his size. We live in a densely populated area, and Alex did an excellent job managing walks safely and responsibly around people and distractions. I felt very comfortable trusting him with my dog and would absolutely recommend him to anyone with a large breed.”

We would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”

About: I have experience caring for my 10 year old german shepherd lab, who has a sensitive tummy. I've had him since he was 2 months old, so I am familiar with every stage of doghood!

We have a laid back home with a fenced yard and I love to take pups for walks around the neighborhood or to the dog park to socialize.

My own dog is very friendly loves to play when not snoozing.
