It was the best sitter I had so far. Definitely booking again! Thanks Elena, it is so great to have peace of mind even leaving the little one.”
About: I use to work at a Doggie Hotel. I worked in the kennel area and use to manage the cleaning as well as the food distribution for every dog in the facility. I love taking care of my neighbors pets while they are away for vacation. I'm very hands on when it comes to puppies and training, I've done similar things at my last job as a kennel worker/day care dog counselor. I own 2 bearded dragon and take care of my parents dog from time to time! I make sure to give them special attention everyday. I make sure that each animal gets love and attention every hour of the day! I make sure that they have eaten, and if not I try to encourage, and make sure they are mentally stimulated with some play time! I also like to incorporate exercise when playing!

“Diana was great and so patient with my dog. My dog was very nervous and didn't want to go with her but she was so kind and loving, she went with her. She spent the whole day with her and kept me updated throughout the day. I would highly recommend her. In fact, my dog is going back two more days this week to Diana.”
“Catherine was fantastic! She was always quick to respond whenever I asked for an update, which made the whole experience stress free. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have over 20 years of experience taking care of dogs. I have owned dogs for the past 16 years straight, the last 10 years with two dogs. I have a lot of experience with all types of dogs (from chihuahua to Great Dane) and connect easily with them. After all, I am a dog myself (per the Chinese Zodiac!) Currently I have two rescue dogs: A special needs (epilepsy) Healer/Aussie Shepherd mix named Ace and a senior Supermutt named Maisie. We lost our senior Boston Terrier in early 2023 due to Cushings and Cancer. So, I have experience taking care of dogs from puppy through hospice. Medications and special food needs are no problem. NOTE: As I have two dogs of my own.....if your dog is not well socialized and does not get along with all other dogs, big and small, or has a history of aggressive behavior, please do not put in a "Boarding" booking request. Socialized, friendly dogs only, please. No excessive whiners or barkers and dogs must weigh 35 lbs or less. Thank you! Reliable, Responsible, Mature. I'm currently retired so am able to spend all of my time caring for my animals (and yours). The most i'll ever leave the house for is 2-3 hours for an appointment, but this is rare. We start our days with breakfast at 7am, take a morning hike in the woods or trails or town. Then some relax time at home before lunch and a 1pm neighborhood walk. Then more home time and play or naps until our 4pm hike. Then dinner at 5. All meal times adjustable for your dog's needs. I am able to be home 99% of the time so am always able to focus on the pets needs. I have been an animal lover my whole life and care deeply about the health and well being of animals in my care or under my stewardship. We live close to many hiking trails and nature preserves so the dogs always get plenty of sniff walks and exercise and socialization. Always on leash and always careful of meeting unknown dogs that may be receptive. I'm pretty good at sussing out a dog's behavior signals, if we should meet or not, after so many years.
About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was six years old, growing up with pets back home in Guatemala. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs—big, small, playful, and shy—and I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks to giving medication. I currently don’t have pets of my own, which means I can give your dog my full attention. You can expect lots of walks, playtime, love, and regular photo and video updates. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment and I’m home all the time, so overnight care is never a problem. I’m here to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home! I work part-time in the mornings and am free the rest of the day, and I’m available to board your dog anytime that works for you. Since I work nearby, I can easily accommodate your schedule for drop-offs and pick-ups. I spend most of my time at home, giving plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks—it’s a great way for them to get exercise and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I love being active with animals and making sure they feel happy and loved all day long. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. My home is free of harmful plants and other hazards, I always keep the space clean and comfortable. I have a big yard where I can walk and play with your dog throughout the day, giving them plenty of exercise and attention. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs so they feel right at home. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m happy to follow any routines that help them feel secure. I know trust matters, so I always keep pet parents updated with photos, videos, and clear communication.
“Dan is so kind hearted and patient towards my babies. My honey can be nervous at times and he took the time to make her comfortable. Autumn is Dans biggest fan out of all three and he was very attentive to my Pumpkins’ needs. I will definitely utilize his services again in the future and I’m very grateful for his care on such short notice. It’s hard to trust just anyone with your babies. Dan was very warm and kind from the beginning conversation. He understood my concerns and made a point of making me feel very comfortable. 10/10 experience ☺️”
“I had to extend Gaucho’s stay for a day at the last minute because of travel and Jennifer and James were very gracious and kept my rambunctious little guy entertained for a few extra hours. I know Gaucho had a great time because he immediately and happily passed out from exhaustion when we got home.”
“Lorenzo is a top notch caregiver for your furry kid. He watched Duke 3 days in a row while I worked. Everyday when I picked Duke up he was happy and tired from all the fun he had. If your looking for quality care, I highly recommend Lorenzo!”
“The best! She does a great job and our dogs had such a wonderful time. Their excitement was our confirmation. She’s great and has a very sweet and kind persona. We will absolutely book her again! Thank you Jocelyn.”
“First time booking Tracy and Kamila. Couldn’t have asked for a better service. Our 2 year old Chiweenie was kept busy outdoors most of the day and went on a long walk in the nearby woods. He was tuckered out by the time we picked him up which tells us he had a great day of action and exploration. Additionally, while he was clearly apprehensive when we dropped him off being in a new environment with new people and dogs, he clearly became comfortable as part of the pack and followed Kamila closely when we arrived to pick him up which showcased her ability to establish trust. Tracy provided many updates with photos and ensured all parties were in the know on the status of Vini and the care required. It’s clear that both Tracy and Kamila are experienced dog owners and have an ideal property to entertain dogs of any size, and a few at a time. Highly recommend if you’re considering booking their service.”
“Maggie had the best time at daycare at Kiara’s. She and her family were so warm and welcoming, and it made me feel at ease dropping Maggie off with them. Thank you for loving my girl like your own.”
“Simone and Sean treated Buddy like their own. He played, went on several walks and had a good time, they even shared a video. They are The family I have been searching for finally. I will Be requesting to book again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life — big, small, shy, playful, you name it. I’ve cared for multiple dogs at a time and still do, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m genuinely obsessed with dogs and love getting to know each one’s unique personality, quirks, and preferences. Whether it’s discovering their favorite walking route, the toy they can’t put down, or the treat that makes their tail wag the fastest, I make it my mission to ensure they feel loved, safe, and happy — always. I work full time in healthcare, but I’m fully remote — so my day naturally revolves around my dogs. I build my schedule and their walks, playtime, and snuggles, making sure they get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to be present and attentive to any pet I’m caring for, just as I am with my own. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like my own. In my home, pets get a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles. I stick to their normal feeding schedules, keep fresh water available at all times, and make sure they get the exercise and attention they’re used to. In a clients home, I follow your routines and instructions to the letter — whether that means specific feeding times, favorite walking routes, or special care needs — so your pet feels comfortable and cares for in their own space. My goal is always to keep tails wagging and stress levels low.
“Rafaelina is an amazing sitter! Our dog Riley seemed to really enjoy her time there, and we loved all the photos and updates during her stay. Rafaelina is responsive and very helpful. We’re looking forward to Rafaelina being a recurring sitter for our dog! Highly recommend!”
“First time trying Rover. Yuri was great. Great communication all throughout. She had another dog over and she asked if it was okay before accepting the booking. She sent pictures and videos during playtime and walks. I Will definitely use again!”
“Our dog Matcha seemed to love her stay with Tatiana! She had plenty of other dogs to spend time with and not worry about how she wasn't at home. If you have a furry friend that doesn't like being home alone for extended hours, I'd recommend Tatiana.”

“I felt at ease having Caleigh walk our brand new baby, Leo. She was communicative and right on time which was important for us with an 8wk old puppy. Will be using again. Thank you!”
“Abhi was AMAZING! My dog and cat both loved him and he was so thorough and obviously has a deep level of care and love for animals. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Victor is always great with our boys. We booked a last minute walk and appreciated that Victor was available. He communicates really well and takes beautiful photos.”
About: I have two senior dogs, and plenty of experience walking, feeding, and bathing dogs of all shapes and sizes! I also have a tortoise so I’m careful with animals and patient with gaining their trust. Just graduated college and work from home so my schedule is flexible. I also have access to a car so transportation shouldn’t be an issue. I like to gain the dogs trust before taking them out for a walk, so I would usually sit next to them let them come to me and reward them as they get more comfortable being around me either with treats or pets or playing with them.
“Bella is wonderful. Not only is she great with my dog (and I'm sure everyone else's) she has her own dogs and cat....so she really understands how pet parents feel. The minute she met my dog, she came into my house, and started brushing him & rubbing his ears...you should have seen his FACE - He nearly fell asleep, lol. She definitely loves animals and she gets it. If she offered boarding/daycare, I'd totally trust her with my dog and I am VERY protective of my dog bc daycares in Riverdale allowed him to be attacked and harmed. She is careful and she actually cares.”
“Lorenzo has been an amazing dog walker for my energetic dog! He is reliable, always on time, and I could tell right away how much he truly loves dogs. My dog was always so excited to see him and came back from walks happy and well-exercised. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker!”
“Sophie is incredibly friendly and kind. She greeted our large, silly dog warmly. Skylah had a wonderful walk with Sophie. We’re thrilled to have her take care of our furbaby!”
About: I have two dogs and have dog sat and walked many times before. I love to go to the waterfront with my dog and take long walks! I am first aid certified in humans and dogs. i hope you plan to book me ! Ps I also work at an emergency vet! I currently work full-time at one vet office . I know all the basics of dog struggling and such but I love to take long walks. I work at an and a primary veterinarian and understand dog behavior. Safety is the number one priority for me. Never let them be off leash
About: I’ve always loved dogs, and started walking them about 6 years ago. Now I’ve mostly worked with senior pets, usually medium sized dogs. I’m always eager to learn more about any animal in my care, and will stay in touch with daily updates. I’m almost always available, and I have plenty of time to give your pet individualized care and attention. If you need me, I’m there for your pet! I prefer to schedule a meeting to meet you and your pet before sitting for them. That way I’m familiar to them, and I can hear directly from you about any special needs, medications, habits, and things to look out for.
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was six years old and have always played an active role in their daily care. From feeding, walking, and grooming to providing plenty of love and attention, caring for animals has been a natural part of my life. At 16, I began dog walking for friends and neighbors, gaining experience with pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Over the past two years, I've expanded my services to include in-home overnight pet care, allowing pets to stay comfortable and maintain their routines while their owners are away. I genuinely love animals and enjoy building trusting relationships with them. My experience, reliability, and passion for pet care help me provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I currently work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I often have two days off during the week and am available in the mornings and evenings before and after work for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and quality time with your pets. My flexible availability helps me accommodate a variety of schedules while ensuring your pets receive the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Before caring for a new pet, I like to do a thorough walkthrough with the owner to learn about their pet's routine, training methods, preferences, and any special instructions. I believe consistency is important, so I strive to maintain the same structure and expectations your pet is used to in their daily life. When entering a client's home, I always proceed carefully, opening doors slowly and ensuring pets cannot slip outside. I make it a priority to keep fresh water available, follow feeding and medication schedules as instructed, and closely monitor pets during walks and outdoor time. If a pet is in the yard, I always check that gates are secure and fencing is safely enclosed before allowing them outside. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of love and attention, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
About: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and animal-loving pet sitter with hands-on experience in veterinary and animal care settings. As a pre-vet student, I’ve developed strong skills in animal handling, observation, and compassionate care through clinical and research environments. I worked as a veterinary assistant at Cornell University Specialists, where I gained experience working alongside veterinary professionals and strengthened my understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I also have a 11-year-old cockatiel and two cats of my own, so I truly understand the daily care, attention, and trust it takes to look after someone’s pets. I prioritize patience, attentiveness, and routine, making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care needs, I treat every animal like my own! I am also BLS and ALS CPR certified I am flexible and available throughout the week for dog sitting and house sitting. I am happy to help with daily visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I do not offer overnight stays, but I am reliable and willing to help wherever needed during the day. I provide attentive in-home pet care focused on safety, comfort, and routine consistency. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment—checking doors, gates, food access, and removing any hazards. I closely follow owner instructions for feeding, medications, and behavior routines to keep pets stable and stress-free in their home setting. With my basic medical knowledge from animal care experience, I am comfortable recognizing early signs of illness or distress (such as changes in appetite, vomiting, coughing, or lethargy) and responding appropriately by notifying the owner promptly and seeking guidance when needed. My goal is to ensure pets feel safe, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while their owners are away
About: I’ve taken care of animals most of my life and take pride in making sure that any animal I encounter is well cared for. I have experience with cats, dogs of all sizes including large dogs (150+ lbs). I currently work full time but from home half the week. I am able to do drop in visits and walks mid-day as well as before and after work hours. As a cat/dog Walker and sitter I treat every home I visit with the same care and respect I have for the animals. I will only ever follow instructions the owners have provided as it relates to their pets and home.
About: My parents got me my first dog Tokyo, when I was 9 , a beautiful short-haired black and brown mutt and I've been dog-crazy ever since. I recently moved to New York leaving my 10-year-old Great Dane, Maxine, with my parents, which breaks my heart . I mostly work from home, so I absolutely jumped at this opportunity to walk and look after other people's dogs. From dogs that are larger than life, and drag you from place to place (like my own), to the smallest and petite of canines (my sister had a Maltese terrier), I have a life-time of experience . I'm really feeling the absence of my friend and will happily take your dog for some fresh air. I'm an artist, I work from home, so I am fully flexible. I write at night as that's when I'm most inspired so I'd love to use to my days to do something I love. I have a lot of experience with larger dogs, I can crate them, walk them and give them their medication. When it comes to cats, I let them do their thing and give them attention should they ask.

Great environment for boarding as well as a lovely neighborhood”
“Thandi is an absolute gem of a human being. I cannot say enough positive things about her care of our large dog Ernie. She is one of the most warm, kind, and caring people I have EVER met. She took the absolute best care of our dog while we were out of town, truly making him feel comfortable and welcome in her home and showering him with love and affection. He was sad to leave! In addition to being the nicest, Thandi is extremely experienced and knowledgable about pet care - truly the best of both worlds. We felt so comfortable leaving Ernie in her care and got constant updates and photos. Ernie cannot wait to return to Thandi's home. If you are looking for a reliable and wonderful pet sitter - look no further.”

“Absolutely amazing experience with Laura! We feel so lucky to have found her. She took the best care of our boy and sent so many pupdates, the communication was top notch. I think he was upset when we picked him up because he didn’t want to leave😂 She is also super knowledge and attentive which was incredibly reassuring while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Laura in the future and 100% recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much again!”
