“Kiana was great with my cat. She was very communicative and sent many photos and thorough updates. She is a wonderful sitter and someone I would definitely book again.”
About: I love your pet and I've never even met it! Life long dog owner up until I moved to NYC in 2008. To fill the void of having a pet my landlord won't let me have I love to take care of pets for anyone I know or even don't know. I definitely have more experience with dogs but love kitties just the same. Keeping them happy and safe is my #1 priority, finding ways to spoil them is my second :) I have a pretty opem schedule so can handle pretty much any time for dog walking from 7am to 8pm, weekdays preferred. Happy to take your dog to a dog park if your pup needs to get their cardio! I live in a 2nd floor apartment and I'm happy to have pups spend the night in our very safe apartment and sleeping in my bed if that's what they prefer :)
“Candice was a great sitter for our cat while we were away. She sent plenty of photos and played with him a bit, and he's typically not a super friendly or playful cat for strangers. I would definitely hire Candice again.”
“Liam was so great. He left me daily notes of how my cat was doing, and sent amazing pictures that always made my day. Liam is the best cat-sitter I’ve met, and I would definitely recommend him!”

“Angie is a repeat sitter for my cat Presley, and she’s been wonderful every time! I can trust that his medication will be administered properly and he will be well taken care of.”
About: Cats hold a special place in my heart! I understand that every cat has their own personality—some love lots of playtime and cuddles, while others prefer quiet companionship. I’m skilled at reading feline body language and giving them the space or affection they want. I can also handle litter box maintenance, feeding routines, and administering medications if needed. My goal is to keep your cat comfortable and content in their own environment.
“Karalyn was awesome! Very responsive and communicative. I could tell by the updates that our cats were happy and well taken care of, even with their special dietary needs. I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again in the future!”
“Devon was a wonderful cat-sitter. She was timely for every check in and made sure to send me thorough updates about my cat’s eating habits and his mood. She also gave him plenty of exercise and sent me pictures after every visit. Walter (my cat) loved her! I will definitely be re-booking her services!”
“Sarah checked in on our cats daily while we were on an extended road trip. She took fun pics and spent time playing with them each day. It made our travels more fun knowing our sweet pets were well taken care of.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Astoria-Long Island City
“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!”
“Another great stay with Ron and MJ! Hades is always so excited to see MJ in the morning, and it is so helpful that they are able to pick him up and drop him off! They have been so accommodating with my work schedule, and I am so relieved to know Hades is safe and in good hands when I'm gone for the day! Ron and MJ have generously supplied toys and treats so Hades has new things to enjoy when he spends the day with them. I can't recommend them highly enough!!”

About: I work from home full-time, so your dog gets company and supervision all day: no long stretches alone. My basement-level apartment has a private, fully enclosed outdoor open-sky patio with direct sliding-door access for easy care, play, and sunbathing. I’ve fostered dogs before and share my home with Jasper, my friendly 5-year-old corgi, who loves canine company (we do a meet-and-greet before every booking to make sure everyone’s comfortable). Daily routine includes walks, play sessions, and photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. Neutered/spayed dogs only, please or we can talk about it in depth before booking. I work from home full-time and go gig work on the side. My work and career are flexible to meet the needs of those who are looking for a treat extra support and care! I can easily adapt to any needs for care. Since I work from home, pups can stay out and about with me all day. We take multiple walks throughout the day around the neighborhood and/or the block which is very dog friendly. Additionally, there is a park within 10 minutes walk and a dog park within 10 minutes walk however we typically will stay on our back patio and do treat dispensing play toys, splash pad days, or general lounging. The patio is where the pups love to explore and lay out on in the sun. It is cleaned off daily and deep cleaned weekly.

“Needed a last minute person and she came through, followed instructions, did everything I told her to do, really appreciate her. Thank you for taking care of my baby’s”
About: Growing up with a beloved dog taught me early on how wonderful it is to share our lives with pets. For the past two years, I have built valuable, hands-on experience by occasionally pet-sitting for friends and volunteering regularly at animal shelters. I understand that every dog and cat has a unique personality, and I tailor my care strategies to meet their individual needs. Being naturally patient and highly detail-oriented, I pride myself on providing a safe, structured, and loving environment for every pet under my care. I’m currently working full time on dog & cat sitter, my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m available from 9 AM to 9 PM during the weekdays and weekends. While cat/dog sitting, I treat each pet parent’s home with the same care and respect as if it were my own. I always ensure doors and windows are secure, follow all household instructions carefully, and keep the environment safe and free of hazards for the cats. I’m mindful of potential escape risks and make sure cats/dogs remain safely indoors. Before leaving, I double-check that doors are locked and that the cats/dogs have everything they need, including clean water, food and clean litter boxes.
“My dog loves her, she sends the perfect amount of updates for you to be informed but to still focus on your trip. Highly recommend she’s the best!”
About: I'm a very gentle, responsible, and hardworking pet-sitter. I've taken care of dogs and cats of all sorts of sizes and breeds. I currently live with a pet and have lived with pets in the past while taking care of them. I also know basic grooming if you need help with that as well! I mostly stay home from Friday to Monday, so I can provide services over long weekends. I also come home from work around 5pm from Tuesday to Thursday, so I can provide services after 5pm then. I'm physically active, so I can also play with high-energy dogs. I live in a safe neighborhood with a spacious apartment. My roommate has an adorable miniature dachshund, Koko. Koko is extremely well-behaved and well-socialized. If your pet were to stay with me, she/he would be very safe and comfortable.
“Karalyn is a doll ! Great response time too . This is the first time I have left my dog ( whistle) alone. Karalyn came 2 days before to meet whistle. I was instantly at ease as soon a I met Karalyn! She texted me pictures and keep me week aware of what was going on !”
“Our little guy LOVES Kat!!! She's very sweet, communicative, punctual, and you can definitely tell she really enjoys taking care of and loves animals. She sends us lots of pictures to let us know how he is doing and he always has a HUGE smile on his face. We have used her numerous times will continue to use Kat for upcoming stays and/or visits <3”
“David took good care of my puppy Milo. He made sure he was fed before his walk and played with him before putting him back in his pen and giving him treats and communicated with me to ask questions and let me know how the walk went!”
About: I have two cats at home in Michigan who I love dearly and take care of: cleaning litter boxes, feeding, playing, etc. I also grew up with medium-sized dogs, love dogs oh so much, and have experience with their care as well: taking outside, going on walks, feeding, playing, etc. No explicit professional experience, but I can’t wait to gain some!!!! I love animals with every bone in my body :) I am a barista almost full-time and an aspiring actor, so auditions are a heavy part of my schedule. Shorter tasks and small drop-in visits are best for me! I love pets and treat them with so much love and care. There is nothing more special to me than the love of an animal, and I will do anything needed to keep their routine consistent and fun!
“Meline is fantastic with our mini Aussie! He has so much energy and she matches that, always making us feel super comfortable that blue is safe and protected and having a lot of fun! He absolutely adores her! I’m a Walker as well as a dog mom and I highly recommend Meline!!”

She gave him the perfect balance of playtime and downtime, with walks in the park, games of tug-of-war and fetch, and lots of playtime with her Golden Retriever, Happy. One of the best parts was the updates. Ethel sent us photos and videos three times a day, and we always looked forward to seeing what Remy was up to.

We were so appreciative of her helpful tips and thoughtfulness throughout his stay including giving him enrichment toys, lots of outside time, and maintaining some training habits. Her dog Koukla is also incredible and Norman had the best time playing with her (although I’m sure she is excited for some quiet time back). We couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
