About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and love caring for animals. I’ve fostered 14 cats, including kittens, undersocialized cats, and cats recovering from surgery, as well as fostered two dogs. I’ve also been a neighborhood dog walker and have cared for family pets. I’m comfortable with animals of all ages and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate different pet care needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care based on what works best for you and your pet. I have my own cat at home, so pets staying in my home must be comfortable and get along well with cats. I always prioritize safety and make sure every pet has a calm, comfortable environment while in my care. For pets who aren’t comfortable around cats, I’m happy to provide care in their home instead.

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve fostered 14 cats, including kittens, undersocialized cats who needed extra patience and trust-building, and cats recovering from surgery who required careful monitoring and specialized care. I also cared for my family cat through her senior years, giving me experience with the patience and attention older cats need. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications and post-surgery care instructions, cleaning litter boxes, providing enrichment and playtime, and—most importantly—giving each cat the time and space they need to feel comfortable. I treat every cat as an individual and would love to give your cat the same care and attention I’d want for my own.

She gave me the best updates with the cutest photos which put my mind at ease . Kelly is a top sitter !”

About: Moving to NYC in September from Minneapolis where I have have been watching dogs for the last year and a half while working remote. I graduated from the University of St. Thomas in May 2020 and have a dog back home in Wisconsin who is 10 years old and a Havanese. I would walk hi daily and care for him when I was back home and would love to hang out and care for dogs while working remote. I also have a few dogs I consistently watch in my apartment building and as well as being a constant go-to when friends need a sitter. I am extremely motivated and passionate. I also have a lot of flexibility with work from home this year which means I have a lot of availability. I have missed hanging and caring for my dog since moving out and I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to make some additional money and also hang out with animals! I work from home full time Monday through Friday so I have lots of flexibility and availability! I also have lots of flexibility with my meeting schedule throughout the day. I live in an extremely safe apartment with an elevator. Lots of other dogs are always there as well! I am extremely organized and clean on top of that.
“Alyssa was perfect. Clear and consistent communication all throughout while watching my 2 dogs. She sent pictures and videos and consistently gave me reassurance that everything was going well and that my boys were happy. I would give ten starts if I could.”
“Tracy saved us when we were out of the country on a holiday and Frank needed daycare unexpectedly. She was flexible, communicative, and Frank had such a fun time with her!”
“Our dog Maisy absolutely loved her daycare stay with Heather. Maisy is only 5 months old and a very shy dog, but Heather was sure to make her stay was as stress free as possible, even hand feeding her. By the end of her stay, Maisy and Heather were best friends. I also appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day, which made my day stress-free. We will be back to visit NYC soon and will definitely book with Heather again. If you are looking for a reliable, attentive and patient dog sitter, I would highly recommend Heather.”
About: Whether you require daycare, boarding, house-sitting, or occasional drop-in visits/walks, you can count on me to treat your pet like a precious, irreplaceable gem! I’m the pawrent of a Pekingese dog, two Exotic Shorthair cats, and a Persian cat. I am also a foster meowmie for other kitties. I have experience with senior and special-needs pets, including as a volunteer dog walker for PAWS NY, an organization that helps people in need keep their pets in their lives. I will send you lots of photos and videos so you can be fully informed about the well-being of your pet/s. I am a full-time pet care specialist. In addition to dogs and cats, I’m also happy to care for bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, birds, and other exotic pets. I’ve read some horror stories about overnight sitters, as I’m sure you have. If I am house-sitting for you, I will be staying overnight in your home, so your pet will be in its usual environment. If you choose daycare or boarding with me, I will be staying overnight with your pet in a secure, cozy apartment with a fenced-in backyard (my own dog and cats won’t be present). I don’t walk dogs off leash and I don’t open windows for the safety of small dogs and cats. If your animal has any symptoms of illness, you’ll be advised immediately. If it’s hot out, I will ask that we run the A/C for the health of your pet. The well-being of your pet is as important to me as the well-being of my own pets.
“Sungmin is amazing with my pup, Louie! Not only was she super accommodating, but she also took great care of Louie by updating me with lots of cute photos. She’s very responsible and responsive, and she genuinely pays attention to your furbaby! I highly recommend Sungmin for your furbaby’s needs! Thanks so much again!”
“Euitae saved me by still accepting Pluto even though Pluto had spent the night struggling with diarrhea without even blinking! and he took great care of him all day: Thanks again ++”
“Tingli was great with our very shy Shih Tzu Benji. She picked up his vibe and was so gentle and caring. She took so many pics which was very comforting. It was very obvious she bonded with him and she has such a great approach to her care with dogs. Highly recommended, very good communication/professionalism!”
“Sonia took great care of my sensitive dog. My pup is nervous in new settings, however she quickly warmed up to Sonia and became more comfortable as the day went on. My dog also loved being out in her beautiful yard. Sonia provided frequent updates and answered all my questions, which helped put my mind at ease. I would recommend her and will use her again for my dog!”
“Michele was amazing with our high energy girl! She was super communicative and gave Phoebe the best day out. We felt so at ease knowing our baby was in such great hands!”

About: I’m (seriously) flirting with the idea of becoming a Pom owner. Would love this opportunity to have a joyful time with your Pomeranian. I have spent time with my friend’s poms previously and really miss the interactions. I have availability on weekdays ideally Tuesday’s and Friday’s. My scheduled time preference is 12-6 but I can be flexible with timing. I am very open to learning what works for you and yours. Describe myself as quite responsible and quick to learn different needs and preferences.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, and cats, of every size since I was 10 years old. Training puppies is a skill of mine too! I taught my childhood dog how to sit, lay down, and give paw! I live wicked close to Carl Shurz and a short walk from Central Park. I’m a water resources scientist for NYC Parks, so I’m really excited for the opportunity to have a furry friend experience the parks the way I do! I’m a city employee who works from home 3 times a week, so my time is super flexible, especially as I head into the fall! I am available for boarding during the weekends and for extended periods of time if you’re on vacation! Lastly, I’m very active so I would love to take your pet out for walks/ runs/ hikes, etc! I live in an elevator building and super close to Central Park! This is a perfect environment for dogs of all sizes and ages. There are no other pets in the house.
“Elizabeth was great! Our pups had an amazing time on their walk. Thank you so much for making a stressful day much more manageable and for treating our pups so well.”
“Eloise was wonderful! She was very responsive and Ginger really enjoyed spending time with her and actually got her to go on longer walks than I go on with her 😅”
About: I grew up taking care of chihuahuas in my household and have years of experience dog sitting and walking pitbulls and mutts for friends and family. I’m a huge lover of dogs and love being in their presence. I work full-time during the week and work from home on Wednesday’s and Friday’s. I’m available to provide pet care on Wednesday and Friday evenings and on weekends. I am very cautious and promise to keep your pet safe at all costs. Open to hearing any instruction you have in order to do so.
About: My extensive background in pet sitting speaks for itself, but what truly drives me is my deep connection and ability to bond with animals. I believe this personal connection is what makes me an exceptional caregiver, and it’s the reason I’m so passionate about working with pets. I have a wide open schedule. I wake up and get my pet ready for breakfast and I handle clean up around the same time. Throughout the day I engage with my pet. I have time and availability to do house visits or to walk your pet. I live in an apartment that is pet friendly. The windows are secure and the neighbors are pet lovers as well, so there is socializing and our 5 unit apartment building. The neighborhood here engages with pets on a regular basis
About: I have lots of experience caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and routines. From raising family dogs and cats as puppies and kittens to caring for them as they’ve gotten older, I’ve loved every stage. I understand that every pet is different and I’m happy to give them the attention, patience, and care they need to feel comfortable. I have a remote job, so I’m home most of the day and have plenty of flexibility for pet care. I can easily fit in walks, meals, and lots of visits throughout the day. I like to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible. I’ll follow their usual feeding, walking, and play schedule. I’m also very respectful of your home and will keep things clean while I'm there.
“Brenda was wonderful! He arrived right on time, gave great feedback after the walk, and it was clear my dog really enjoyed spending time with her.

She gets multiple walks—even in wild weather—and spends her days playing with her new dog friends, taking cozy naps, and getting so much love and care. They treat her like part of the family, and I always know she’s in wonderful hands. No one in the city will care for your fur baby better than these two. We’re so grateful for them! 🐾💕”
“Anton was very kind and accommodating of my anxious dog. It was the very first boarding experience for my dog, Reiki, and he was very nervous when we arrived at Anton's place.

She took Dante on 2-3 walks a day and gave him plenty of opportunities to make new furry friends at Central Park. Highly recommend Sarah and hope we can work together again!”
“Michala watched our boy for 4 nights and honestly we could not have asked for a better sitter. We’ve been using Rover for 4 years now and she’s hands down one of the most communicative sitters we’ve had. She sent updates all day so we never had to wonder how he was doing. She took him to the park daily, let him sleep in bed with her, even asked before giving him watermelon, and gave him enrichment toys to keep him busy. You can just tell she actually cares about the dogs she watches, not just going through the motions. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Dontae was amazing with Kira. I was abroad and needed someone to take care of her in a pinch and he was very accommodating. He regularly sent updates and made sure Kira was comfortable. His dog seemed to be very chill and got along with Kira. Will definitely book again, thank you again for your help Dontae!”
“Eric was an amazing sitter to my baby, Ruby! I just recently moved to NY and had to find a sitter for a trip that had been planned before I moved here. I would have never gone on this trip had I not found Eric. Ruby was so happy around him and from all the pictures I received, I could tell she was having a great time with him. He helped her socialize with other dogs, which was very necessary since the place where we lived previously didn't have many dogs around, he took her to the park to play and on the rainy days, they just hung out at home and cuddled. Her favorite thing ever! He was very loving and kind toward her and I know she's made a friend for life. I will definitely be contacting Eric in the future when I need someone to watch my baby again. I highly recommend him.”
“Anastasia is amazing. She was extremely accommodating, provided regular updates, and truly cares for your pet like her own. It made for an anxiety free vacation knowing my pup was so well taken care of. Anastasia will be our ONLY choice when we need a puppy sitter in the future.”
