“Emerald and Minty took such good care of my little guy while i was out of town! She sent so many pictures and kept me updated about everything going on. My dog has his quirks and can be a bit anxious, but everything went smoothly and I felt so relaxed knowing he was being treated like a king! Could not recommend Emerald and Minty enough!!”

“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! She was kind, reliable, and treated him like one of her own. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my boy!”


“Kathleen was an AMAZING DogSitter. She made sure to check in with me multiple times a day with updates and photos. She was also really thoughtful and would ask about any dietary or allergic issues that my dog might have before giving her any treats.”

“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!”

She made my senior pup Ruby feel comfortable and happy and sent me awesome detailed updates with adorable pics along the way :) Very grateful to have such a reliable, kind and responsible sitter in the area and can’t wait for Ruby to stay with her again soon! Thank you again!!”

“Erica is the best! My puppy had so much fun at her house playing with the other dogs. It was my first time leaving him for a couple days so I wanted to make sure he was with someone caring and fit for his personality! I am sure he will be tired for the whole week after picking him up. ?”

“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!”

“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.

Your pet will be in its own room by itself a nice environment, music heat fan AC whatever is necessary. properly taken care of until you come home Like I said, I’m currently retired and love spending time with my own pets, so I’ll treat your pets just like mine.

“Ariella took great care of my cat! I appreciated the daily updates. My extremely shy cat even came out to take a look at her, which shows she has a good vibe! I’d definitely hire Ariella again.”


“Anna is truly amazing! She would pick up on my kittie habits and communicate with me very promptly when she feels there may be an issue - no matter how small or big. I really appreciated her attention to detail. Overall, Anna's communication is so timely, clear, and thoughtful. And I think that's a strength like none other. My cats also loved her, I don't think they even missed me. I normally feel bad asking the sitters to send me pictures because personally I think it could be a tad bit annoying, but Anna would send me pics when they are being particularly cute or show me how my cats are cuddling with her non-stop! TL;DR, I am traveling for a wedding next weekend, and I already reached out to her to see if she could help me again. I hope Anna can be my kitties' loving and caring aunt forever! Please don't move from NYC!”

“Stephanie and Brian were great!! Due to cancellations I had to book them Super last minute and they were more than happy to come see Roy. They played with him and took the time to make sure he was happy and cared for. Thank you both again!!!!”

“Rachel was wonderful. I booked her last minute for my cat and she was super responsive, always on time and went above and beyond with hanging out with my cat and taking incredible pictures.”


About: I grew up with cats, actually! While I currently dont have the ability to adopt my own fuzzies again, I do help out with friends who go on vacations and things like that. **I also do bunnies! I was an ARBA registered judge and show rabbit breeder, 4H judge, and 4H instructor and animal trainer.** Pregnant and not allowed to change your kitty's potty? Or maybe youre like my friends and you have to be out of town for a vacation or family meeting, but cant take your fuzzies with you. Some cats do not do well with a boarding kennel situation, so skip the stress and giving them anxiety- hire someone to come check on them at home! Kittens to seniors, all are welcome- even the grumpy ones. Are they on a diet? Do they like tube treats? Even if they made a stinky, I will dump all of the litter out & wash the pan, then put the bag outside in the trash bin so that its not smelling up the house. History: My mother had a long haired tortie before I was born (she tolerated me as much as she was willing from what I was told) and when I was 4, we adopted a creamsicle boy from the neighbors (orange & white tabby). That cat was my best friend for 13 years before I had to say goodbye. We waited a bit, then went to the shelter and adopted a shorthair baby tortie that was really more of my mother's cat (like the previous tortie, although I didnt pick her because of the color). I'd drop in from college and even visit from out of state years later to take care of the tortie while my mother was on vacations. She was a very shy, quiet cat vs my creamsicle who was a big bold boy (he was just a massive cat, not overweight) and even though she knew who I was, I wasnt HER person, therefore my only purpose (to her) was food, water, and litterbox cleaning. Even though I used to play with her when she was younger, I respected her boundaries because in her defense, I *did* move out after the first few years of her life. She lived to be 16. Meanwhile I adopted a little white sock, white blaze, gray tabby girl just after college and had her for only 7 years before her number was called. She was a little purr machine cuddle bug until the day she took her final nap. After the loss of her and my dog, I personally havent had the time or housing requirements to be able to own pets again, so I do what I can to help other busy pet parents!

About: Hi I’m Kathleen! I am huge animal lover who grew around pets and I have over 4 years of experience providing patient, responsible, and dedicated care. I don't currently have any dogs or cats of my own, which means your pup gets 100% of my undivided attention, love, and care. My home is a calm, safe space where your pet can truly relax and feel right at home. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I am home most of the day. I am available all days for boarding and can easily accommodate flexible pick-up and drop-off times for owners. At my clients/my home I will provide photos, and videos of your pet and provide updates to insure you have a safe, and trusted experience!

“Alexandra did a great job with our 17 year old cat. We were out of town for 3 days and came back to a very clean living space and a very content Isis. Would definitely recommend Alexandra for overnight sitting with your pet!”


“Valeria was amazing staying with my 2 cats when i was away for a weekend! She took great care of them and sent picture updates everyday. She was also so easy to work with and flexible to my schedule - I almost had to cancel and she was able to work it out with me when I found out I didn't have to cancel! Will definitely have her come watch my boys again ☺️”

“Brittany took such good care of our Lucy, giving us updates and awesome (and very cute) pics along the stay. This is the first time we needed a cat sitter, so we were pretty stressed so I'm very grateful we found Brittany. I would highly recommend her to all. No question who we will contact when we need a sitter again in the future. Thank you! ❤ - Chris & Jane”

About: Former dog owner and shelter volunteer with over 15 years of experience. I’m a go-to sitter for friends and I’m an active runner on the Rockaway boardwalk. I'm very comfortable and capable with all temperaments and energy levels. I have a hybrid work schedule, where I work from home 3 days during the week, and would be able to take breaks for walks. Weekends I am free. I live in a 4th floor walk up that allows pets. Other tenants have dogs. I live less than 1 block away from the boardwalk and beach for walks.
About: I've always had animals growing up and I loved taking care of them. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own pets. I made sure they were fed a balanced diet, they had their daily walks, they were upto date with their vaccines. I also made sure that they were well-groomed, given lots of love and attention and spoiled rotten with toys! I currently work full time but I am available anytime after 3pm to pet sit the little cuties and I am free anytime on the weekends. I do not have yard space but I am close to the beach and there are a few parks to take the dogs for a walk!

About: I am a 23 year old veterinary nurse, currentky working my way to vet school.I love all sorts of animals, but cats hold a special place in my heart! Cats are wonderful animals with unique and sometimes complicated personalities. Once they trust you, they can be some of the most loving little creatures. I've had cats all my life and some of my favorite patients are cats. Right now I don't have a cat, but I love my mom's cat a whole lot.
“Eleni was amazing. I had to leave for an extended time for Christmas and she came by and took care of my cat. My cat needs all the attention in the world and Eleni gave her just that. She updated me everyday and even showed up on the holiday. I'm super protective of my cat and I'd recommend Eleni to anyone.”

About: I’ve raised my dog since she was 3 months old. She battled an autoimmune disease, and I cared for her through medications, special diets, and recovery. That experience gave me a deep understanding of medical care, patience, and what it means to truly show up for a pet. I treat every dog like my own—with love, attentiveness, and a calm, caring presence. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work as a substitute paraprofessional with the Department of Education, which gives me a flexible schedule during the school year and full availability in the summer. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for—whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company throughout the day. With my open summer schedule, I’m especially available for longer stays or more frequent visits. Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide consistent, loving care tailored to each pet’s routine. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, clean space, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. In a client’s home, I maintain their routine and create a familiar, stress-free environment. I treat every pet like family and ensure they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times.

“I was really nervous leaving my Sylvester because I never did anything like this before but I must say I would definitely use them again I felt like they were family instead of a sitter for my boy they really were happy to care for him and I was happy I chose them it made my first experience a pleasant one”

“Vivian really took care of Jayce like her own pooch. She’s very mindful and attentive to Jayce, especially with his anxiety she is very caring and really made him feel comfortable!”

“What a lovely person - I’d give her 100 stars if that were an option. To explain, I had to go into my office LAST minute and at 1230 am it was my first time using this app and I posted requests for someone to basically dog sit for the same day- she was immediately responsive even though it was a last minute request. I saw she had already gotten consistent great reviews and I was worried to leave my 7 week old shih tsu (like a baby) with anyone ) -Jameeka she handles all dog ages - she was responsive, kept me updated throughout the day. I even got stuck in traffic on the way for pick up and was late she was fine. The top 3 reasons I give Jameeka 5 stars is because 1) she is the opposite of stressful and worked with my unique needs, 2) she has great communication skills snd 3) it is clear she is an expert - my puppy was returned perfectly she gave me some updates and my puppy was happy and fell right asleep because Jameeka ensured my puppy got play time and exercise time - thank you !”

“Vanessa is a gem - responsive, polite, clean, caring, loving, and always available. We were looking for a pet sitter who could provide a loving and stable environment for our pup with separation anxiety, as we wanted to reduce his reliance on medication. Vanessa exceeded our expectations, providing a calm and nurturing presence that has greatly benefited our Blaze. We're grateful to have found her, and her care has given us peace of mind. If you're seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter, Vanessa is an excellent choice.”

“Doris is a super nice and responsible person. Very helpful and so caring. I’m so grateful to her for taking care so well of my baby. She always updates with photos and videos and I definitely know that my baby is in good hands.”

“Kim was flexible, which is really important to me. She was personable, pleasant and down to earth. She provided me with relevant video updates of my dog and offered individualized care where necessary.”

“Rachel is amazing! I was very impressed at our first meeting. She asked if I had time for a walk with her and her dog Rockz. As we walked we talked and I felt comfortable leaving Kamaria in her care. She introduced another dog to Kamaria on our return and things went great. She is very knowledgeable of the bully breed and caring with a clean environment. She is very active with Kamaria. She loves going to daycare with Rachel as she gets so excited waiting to go inside. We will definitely use Rachel again! Thank you”

“Erica is truly the best! My dog is not often around other dogs so I wasn’t sure how he’d assimilate. She took the time and effort to introduce him to the group and make the transition as easy as possible on him. When he was nervous she kept him by her side to comfort him. She kept in touch with me all day- sending updates and photos to show me how he is doing. I HIGHLY recommend her as she is so loving and caring to the animals. I can tell Buffet feels at home with her and we will be a regular clients of hers! She is the best!!!”

“Lauren was very accommodating when I had to reschedule my appointment and I was happy we could work out alternate plans. I was kept updated throughout Albert's stay and will reach out to Lauren again.”

“Lina provided exceptional care for my baby, Viper. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. She not only tended to his basic needs but also showered him with love and attention. It was evident that she genuinely cared for his well-being and treated him as if he were her own. 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. Additionally, her knowledge and expertise in handling dogs reassured me that Viper was receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Lina to anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter.”

I thrive off their unconditional love and I love to see them happy. Simple as that.
