“Iliana was wonderful with both of my dogs Benji and Lucy. Lucy stay only for a couple of days. I called Iliana last minute on new years and she was very accommodating. Benji stayed with her nearly 3 weeks. We communicated pretty much everyday. I will definitely contact her for my future trips. Once again thanks”
“Maria is an awesome sitter! I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone! Her love for animals is out of this world. I needed a sitter at the last minute due to a family emergency. I looked through all the sitters on this app and came across Maria. After reading her reviews, I was sold on how highly everyone spoke of her, and let me tell you, they were right! Paco is usually very nervous around strangers, but when he met Maria for the first time, he warmed up to her as if he’d known her forever. She constantly sent pictures of Paco having a great time. Even though Paco is afraid of bigger dogs, she made him feel completely safe around them. He went to the beach, to the park, everywhere! I felt so at ease knowing that Paco was with someone like her.”
“Essence is the best! I know my dogs are in great hands with her. She is always flexible with us, she sends us updates without us having to ask, my dogs are always happy when they leave her place. She is the best and I am so grateful for her. Xoxo thank you Essence.”
“Rhinesca made my first dog sitting experience wonderful. She had excellent communication & sent pictures daily. My Kobe fell in love with her on the first visit. I would definitely recommend her & I attended to use her again.”
“Alyona was terrific with my puppy Bennet. She sent pictures and updates throughout Bennet’s stay and assured me that she was doing well. Alyona was inquisitive about Bennet’s habits and likes and that clearly translated into how she cared for my puppy during her stay. I will absolutely rebook in the future.”
“Rafaelina and her daughter took great care of our dog Cohiba. They took the time to care for (including giving meds) and understand Cohiba's personality. It's so comforting to be able to leave Cohiba with such caring people.”
“Fantastic dog sitter! Kiara responds quickly to any messages and we loved getting pictures of our dog while away. Our dog looked happy when we returned--we've already booked Kiara for a couple more weekends!”
“Dana provided wonderful care for Axl, our Brittany spaniel who is full of energy. She sent updates and photos daily, so we knew he was happy and in good hands. She’s experienced, knowledgeable, and her loving care enabled us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Highly recommend Dana and plan to use her for our future vacation coverage needs.”
“Sayarlin was soo accommodating while watching my dog Dream! Even when I had to extend the pick up dates she was still willing to help out as best as she could. She even took Dream to the park to play which i'm sure she enjoyed. I will definitely use her to watch Dream in the future.”
“Valentina was amazing with Bentley! She was so sweet, communicative, and clearly gave him so much love and attention. She sent me updates 1–2 times a day with lots of pictures, and Bentley always looked so happy and comfortable. She made him feel right at home, gave him plenty of outside and play time, and even sent him home with a little stuffed animal gift! 🥹 Her son Ezekiel was also such a sweet little helper. I’m so happy I found Valentina and would absolutely trust her with Bentley again. Highly recommend her!”
“I had an amazing experience with our dog Omar! He truly went above and beyond to make sure Lou was happy, comfortable and well cared for. Every day Omar sent thoughtful updates along with lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my fur baby was getting plenty of love and attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely book with Omar again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Raymond and family took exceptional care of Teddy! We appreciated the daily updates, photos and videos. He received lots of attention and adjusted very well to this loving family. We highly recommend Raymond!”
“Sujaya was amazing!! She thought of everything, put together an adorable FAQ sheet and was so communicative during Baxters stay. I appreciated all the pictures and the care she took of him. She treated him just like her own. I will definitely be using her again!”
“I was very with Chialing care for my baby Lola. She kept us updated. Send this pictures videos. Lola actually walked with no leash and they are run away so I’m happy with that. Her care her time and to keep up letting us know how everything was going was excellent. I would definitely definitely use her again to babysit my baby dog Lola. Thank you so much for your care and your love and your attention.”
“I have encountered a lot of dog lovers but not like Will! My dog fit in perfectly, and honestly I loved that! I will definitely use Will services again, and even recommend a few of my friends that have dogs. If you looking for a Nanny that is a 10/10 , Will is your person .”
“Noelle was amazing with Babka! He has such a wonderful time and was so happy. We felt comfortable with Noelle and confident that Babka was in great hands. It was so great that Babka had a backyard to run around in and get so much love from Noelle. This was our first time using a sitter since Babka is only 8 months old and we would trust him with Noelle 100%!”
“Sally-Ann was an amazing caretaker for our dog Wallace. She was able to accommodate him on short notice and tend to a specific medical need that he had. She was extremely responsive and gave text and photo updates constantly. You can tell she really cares about the animals and goes out of her way to make sure they have a good time - she took our little guy to a beautiful park by the water.”

“Elisa is a wonderful sitter as well as a caring and thoughtful person. She was kind enough to take out my trash when she noticed it getting a bit smelly during my last long trip. Her communication is excellent. Thanks so much for giving the kitties such good care and attention.”
“Jorge took excellent care of our cat while we were out of town, and was able to fit her into his schedule without much advance notice. He was very communicative and helpful (he even vacuumed up some litter!) and I knew our cat was in good hands while we were away.”
“Lori was super reliable and a pleasure to deal with. She even helped coax one of my cats back inside the house after he escaped right as I was leaving for the airport. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again the next time I have to travel.”
“Kathryn is a dream!m pet sitter! She has been so lovely to us and our cats from the beginning. She is communicative, detail oriented, and most importantly so caring and thoughtful towards our kitties. She sent us lots of updates with pictures and gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. We will 100% be using her again and would highly recommend to others.”
“Jennifer took amazing care of my 2 girls, Prada and Petunia. She kept me updated, sent great photos, and made sure they were happy and comfortable. I came home to two calm kitties.”
“Third time we have been fortunate enough to get Karen to look after our cat. This time was even more important as he was prescribed daily medications to take and we were nervous to be so far away in case he became ill again. Karen was so wonderful and reassuring-- we enjoyed our vacation knowing our pet was in very capable hands! Thank you again so much and know that we are so grateful to you for all your care and expertise. We truly appreciate it!!”
About: I’ve had welcomed my first pet ever when I was 10 years old , then in 2012 I’ve have welcome another fur baby to the family . Being around my own personal pets made me love doing dog sitting a lot more so starting in 2013 I’ve decided to volunteer and also become employed with the services of onboarding , dog walking , etc . I love doing my job when it comes to pets because I think of them as my own. I am currently working Monday - Friday but my schedule is also very flexible. I am free on the weekends if services are needed as well. When caring for your pets in your home or my home they are well taken care of between any medications, a routine that they follow I will make sure that while your away they will be left in great hands .
About: I’ve taken care of cats in the past of family and friends. My cat recently passed and although it was a short while of bonding, he was very much part of the family. Ever since I was little I have been very passionate about animals and working with them! I hope to be able to give any pet parent a peace of mind knowing they are in good hands!
About: I had three cats; I learned how to administer their medication and feed them at their scheduled times, and I played with them. I also looked after another family cat. I cleaned their litter boxes every day to keep them sanitary and prevent any issues, and I gave them small treats when they behaved well.
About: I’ve been a cat parent for 10+ years now and have worked professionally as a cat sitter in the Chelsea/Downtown area. I have extensive knowledge as a parent and hope to provide an enriching experience for them. 🐾
About: While I don't currently own cats, I have extensive hands-on experience working with feline behavior, temperaments, and daily care across various environments: Animal Control & Rehabilitation Background: Through my work in animal control, I’ve handled, rescued, and bonded with dozens of stray and feral cats. I understand cat body language, respecting their boundaries, and building trust with shy, fearful, or defensive cats at their own pace. Private Cat Sitting Experience: I regularly pet sit for friends and private clients—including managing multi-cat households (up to 3 cats at a time). I ensure everyone gets their individual attention, proper feeding schedules, and plenty of affection. Routine & Health Care: I handle precise feeding schedules, fresh water refills, litter box maintenance, and giving playtime or gentle companionship based on what each cat prefers. Calm & Patient Approach: Whether your cat is super outgoing and loves active playtime or is more independent and prefers a quiet, low-stress presence, I adapt to their specific personality to keep them comfortable.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 10 years and have experience with kitties of all ages, from tiny 6 week old kittens to older cats with well-established personalities. At one point, I shared my home with four cats, so I understand how important patience, comfort, and routine are for them. These days, friends and family trust me to care for their cats while they’re away making sure they’re fed, comfortable, loved, and getting plenty of rubs & cuddles (along with keeping those litter boxes fresh and clean). I truly enjoy creating a calm, cozy environment where cats can feel safe and cared for.
About: With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, our home has become a second home for countless furry friends. What started as a fun activity with my young son has grown into a true passion we continue to share. Now a spirited teenager, my son still brings the same energy and love to every pet we care for—ensuring each one gets plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. We live in a private apartment in a family-owned three-family house in Lower Westchester. Our home is clean, spacious, and pet-friendly, with a private deck and a small backyard perfect for fresh air and play. We’re also just a short walk from the beautifully updated Yonkers waterfront, where your pet will enjoy scenic strolls and outdoor fun. You won’t find a more dog-loving duo. Whether your pet is high-energy or prefers laid-back lounging, we’re happy to tailor our care to their unique needs and personality. We truly love what we do—and it shows. Feel free to reach out with any questions. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Since we’ve been pet sitting for over a decade, we’ve built our schedule around giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Morning and evening walks are part of our daily rhythm, and we make time throughout the day for play, feeding, and cuddle sessions. My teenage son is very involved—he loves helping with walks, playtime, and making sure each pet feels right at home. Whether we have one guest or a few, they’re always integrated into our family life with love and consistency. In our home, pets are treated like family. We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. They have access to cozy spaces indoors, a private deck for fresh air, and a small backyard for outdoor time. We stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special care instructions—to ensure a smooth and stress-free stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure, keeping things as familiar as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to their individual needs while maintaining communication with the owner for peace of mind.

“Essence is wonderful with my dog Luccky. She’s very careful and caring with Lucky, and is so flexible and helpful when planning daycare or walks! I highly recommend Essence!!”
About: Hi, I’m a dog Mom to Ruben and Teddy. I have a cozy home for dogs who love companionship and plenty of attention. I offer a safe, peaceful space with room to relax, play, and enjoy daily walks. I have experience raising and crate-training Ruben from puppyhood and Teddy was adopted as a rescue. I understand the importance of routines, patience, consistent use of language and special treats to build trust with dogs. I work remotely, which allows me to provide supervision, personalized care, and a calm environment where dogs feel comfortable, and loved. It would be my joy to help be a part of your dog’s care team! I provide discounts to repeat customers and welcome working with you on pricing for extended stays and care for multiple dogs. I do have upfront and discretionary fees for late evening pickups /drop offs and specialized caretaking needs. My days usually include 2–3 walks: 10-15 min around my quite neighborhood block, playtime: fetch, belly rubs etc, potty breaks on a leash in the back yard and lots of opportunities for dogs to relax and chill independently or cuddle with me. When coming inside from walks, I wipe down their paws and faces with dog-safe wipes. I often play calming dog music and am happy to continue routines from home, including favorite treats, chews, or comfort items you send along. I keep routines as consistent as possible. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time (no more than four), which allows me to give each pup personalized care if needed. My home has plenty of space for dogs to relax and move around inside, and a semi-fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. For safety, I use leashes for all outdoor activities and always keep a close eye on the dogs in my care. I also have a crate and separate areas available if a dog needs quiet time, a break from the group, or their own comfortable space. I especially enjoy caring for small and medium-sized dogs who thrive in a relaxed home setting and would love having Ruben a and Teddy as a friendly companion during their stay.
“Kiara and her family were wonderful with Zeus! I especially loved seeing how excited her kids were whenever he came over. Kiara was also so accommodating with our schedule! We greatly appreciated her care and flexibility.”
“I left my labradoodle, Ramona, with Valentina and her 4-year-old son for few hours, and honestly, she had the best time. From the start, Ramona felt completely at home — she got tons of love, playtime, and cuddles. Valentina was amazing and kept me updated with sweet pictures and little messages, which really put my mind at ease. Her son was the perfect little playmate, full of energy but so gentle and caring with Ramona. They played, ran around, and Ramona clearly loved all the extra attention. When I picked her up, she was happy, calm, and probably would’ve stayed even longer if she could! I highly recommend Valentina and her sweet son if you need someone loving and trustworthy to watch your dog. 5/5 paws from Ramona! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“Omar is AMAZING!! Walter felt at ease from the first moment they met. He walked right in as if he has known Omar all his life. He looked forward to seeing him every morning. Omar kept me informed throughout the day which I truly love and appreciate. Cannot say enough great things about Omar. 100% recommend!”
“Nikki could not have been nicer and Zuko had a great stay in her home for the day. She took him on a long walk and he came back fabulously tired. Communication was excellent and it was obvious how much Nikki and her husband love dogs.”
“Maria is a GODSEND! She absolutely loves and cares for your dog as much as you do. I’m a first time dog owner and I was so nervous leaving behind my pup while I went to work..but after meeting with Maria, and seeing how my pup loved going to her, I felt reassured. They play well together, go on long walks, he respects her and listens to commands..he is EXCELLENT hands. Maria’s is his second home❤️”
About: I’m patient, caring, and treat every pet like mine. Good with puppies and gentle with seniors. I always make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m home a lot, and I only have college once a week with the rest of my classes online, so I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, and check-ins for your pets ! I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I follow your routines, keep their space clean, and pay attention to what they need. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I give them a calm, trusted environment.
“I had such a wonderful experience with Corey and Stephanie! They took amazing care of my dog and truly treated her like she was one of their own. They kept me updated multiple times throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was safe, happy, and being well cared for. I especially appreciated how attentive they were to her comfort around the other dogs at daycare. They made sure she felt safe and even took the time to walk her separately so she could have some one-on-one attention. That really showed me how much they genuinely care about each dog and their individual needs. Corey and Stephanie are incredibly kind, friendly, and clearly have a genuine love for dogs. I felt completely comfortable leaving my girl in their care, and I will absolutely be booking with them again. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for people who will care for your dog as if they were their own! 🐾❤️”
“Jorge is friendly and Rosie warmed up to him right away. He took the dogs he was watching to the park! Easy communication and many photos. Will book with Jorge again.”
“My wife and I were very thankful with Chialing as she took our baby Taco on a very short notice and took care of him wonderfully. She kept us posted of his activity and send us pictures through out the day. I highly recommend her services.”

“Jorge is truly the best sitter in the world! I am so appreciative of his last-minute flexibility and for always bringing a little puppy friend along when he’s with our dog. I have nothing but praise , five stars”
“I was honestly really worried about hiring a dog walker because my dog is very reactive, but Tatiana has been amazing. She is not only professional, arrives on time, but clearly experienced, which has put me at ease. I especially love the detailed updates in the app—it shows me everything about my dog’s walk and gives me total peace of mind. After just one walk, my dog already gets excited to see Tatiana, which says everything. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue to use her services. Highly recommend!”
“After my original dog walker no-showed for the walk-through that had been confirmed 8 hrs prior, I was in a pickle. We had 3 days to find someone to walk & feed our 3 dogs of varying ages and personalities. Kristine not only was available, she came to the walk through prepared with all the right questions to put us at ease. Jacqi, Caryn and Stevie can be a lot for anyone but she handled 8 days like a pro who genuinely cared. And to top it off we received at least 5 photos from every visit. We returned after a week away to happy and well cared for dogs and Kristine is the reason why. If you ever need a pet sitter, look no further!”
“Arianna took great care of our dog, Tallulah! She was super attentive and communicative which helped me feel so safe and confident that Tallulah was in good hands. Our dog got sick and Arianna went above and beyond to make sure she okay and cleaned up after her accidents which was very kind. We really appreciated her help and will definitely be asking her to watch our pup in the future!”
About: I grew up with dogs of all kinds back in my country, Georgia. I fed and took care of many feral dogs as well as domestic. Over the last two years, I've assisted my partner in her dog walking endeavors and have learned a lot about their behaviors. I'm very strong and can make sure your dog will be safe and active with me, if needed. I have experience with different breeds including the Caucasian Shepherd, large mixes and apartment breeds. My schedule is very flexible so I have open availability at the moment. I'm looking forward to walking your pup any time, any day. I have a yard at home and a puppy and cats to keep them company. My partner is also usually home to care for them if I need to be anywhere. Whether at mine or yours, I will follow their schedule and make sure your pup is thriving.
About: We’re Justin and Esther—animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Justin has had pets his whole life, starting with a sweet cat named China, who had a litter of kittens he raised until their passing. Today, we care for Lunae Lux, our energetic Siberian Husky, and Fayth, Justin’s affectionate cat. For Esther, being surrounded by animals was always a dream—and marrying Justin made it a reality. It’s allowed her to bond deeply with both Lunae and Fayth, fulfilling her lifelong wish to share her days with furry companions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or training, we’re passionate about giving every pet the care and love they deserve. Animals are the first and most important priority of the day, afternoon and night. They are like children in that aspect, or fur children as people say. My cat and dog get along very well. I have trained my Siberian Husky to be more understanding and caring to smaller animals such as cats.
“5 STAR ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience — she was so kind, patient, and flexible, and sent beautiful photos throughout the walk. My dog came back super happy, and everything went so smoothly. Would DEFINITELY book her again. She also brought her own pup along, which was such a pleasant and much appreciated surprise since my dog does better with a support dog by his side.”
“PJ is the BEST!!! He's super reliable, always on time, sends the best pictures, gives Chewbacca lots of love and attention and communicates just the right amount. No wonder Chewy loves him. Maybe a little too much?!? Makes me a little jealous actually. But what's better than knowing your dog loves seeing his "second best friend!" I know he's in great and caring hands with PJ!”

About: I have experience caring for three dogs. One was named Maia, an Australian Shepherd who belonged to my aunt. She was very energetic, and I spent a lot of time playing with her. I also cared for a German Shepherd named Rex. Although he was calmer, I played with him frequently as well. The third was Mango, a very small puppy with lots of energy. I fed all three dogs the appropriate amount of food based on their weight and at their scheduled feeding times. I also took them to the park regularly, although I took Mango less often because he was still a puppy. I am available to work on weekdays from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and I can also start as early as 8:00 AM when needed. During that time, I am happy to care for your pet by providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the day. If the visits involve feeding, I would stay with the pets to play, keep them company, and give them a little extra affection before leaving the owner's home—naturally, always within the limits and guidelines provided to me. As for walks, I would make sure to bring everything necessary to ensure the pet feels comfortable and has a good, playful time.

About: I’ve been passionately caring for dogs since I was 13 years old. Over the years, I’ve fostered and adopted multiple dogs, specializing in communication-based training, housebreaking, and custom communication techniques. I’ve successfully trained dogs to express their needs clearly—whether signaling to go outside, asking for water, or communicating when it's mealtime! Currently, I balance my college studies with working professionally as a dog handler. Because of my professional background in canine behavior and training, I understand how dogs think, learn, and communicate. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, high-energy playtime, or just a calm, confident handler while you're away, they will be in expert hands. Current Fall Schedule (August – December) I balance professional training and college courses, which keeps my routine structured and consistent. I am available for bookings on specific days each week: Morning Shift Days (Work 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM): Fully available for afternoon walks, drop-ins, evening visits, and overnight house sitting starting after 2:30 PM. Evening Shift Days (Work 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM): Available for early morning walks, breakfast drop-ins, and mid-day visits up until 1:00 PM. Overnight House Sitting: Available regularly! As long as your dog can be left comfortably during my work/class hours, I provide full overnight care, evening exercise, and morning routines. Winter & Spring Availability (Starting January) Beginning in December, my college semester ends and my availability expands significantly. I will have full, open availability alongside my standard work shifts for drop-ins, walks, and boarding/sitting. When staying at or visiting a client's home, safety, clear communication, and keeping your dog happy and comfortable are my top priorities: Potty Breaks & Routine Maintenance: I stick strictly to your pet's established routine for outdoor breaks, feeding times, and bedtime to keep their environment feeling familiar and stress-free. Appetite & Engagement Solutions: If a dog is feeling anxious or hesitant to eat in a new routine, I use low-impact playtime, light exercise, or gentle mental stimulation to help them settle in, relax, and get their digestive system moving naturally. Home Security & Respect: I treat your home with total respect—keeping doors securely locked, maintaining a clean space, and following all specific instructions regarding gated areas, crate routines, or security systems. Constant Communication & Updates: You will receive regular photo updates, routine check-ins, and immediate communication so you always have total peace of mind while you're away. (Note: I currently do not offer boarding services inside my own home, focusing 100% of my attention on on-site house sitting, drop-in visits, and walking.)
About: I have had my own pets since I can remember ranging from cats, dogs, iguanas, hamsters, fish, salamanders, hermit crabs, and even chicks. Growing up, I spent my summers on my grandfather's farm raising cows, horses, pigs, cats, dogs, chickens and a rooster. I don't have and human kids but I have raised many fur babies. I am the go-to person for family and friends, especially for pets with very specific care instructions. I am in NYC; I drive and have a pretty flexible schedule at this time. My career outside of pets includes Human Resources Management and Operation Director at different schools. I am currently working for myself as a treat maker so I am very flexible with time. I also have a clean license and reliable transportation. I am currently in NYC but can travel to Westchester County and northern NJ as well. I love when a client gives me detailed instructions and will follow them to a tee. I am a very organized person with a high attention to detail who often goes above and beyond in everything I do. Because I have worked with children and at schools, I have been fingerprinted by NYS/NYC, Dept of Health and the NYC Dept of Ed.

“I had to leave my old and sick Lab for almost two weeks over the holidays and was extremely nervous about finding someone to take care of him. Grace and Luis took great care of him and kept me updated constantly throughout the trip, including letting me know when they had a concern immediately . They were also unfazed by his medicine schedule. My dog had also been having by some accidents inside so I provided diapers but was very nervous about that happening while we were away and Grace again was completely unfazed by it and took the time to get to know his potty schedule to minimize accidents. Additionally my vet would not refill his prescription before we left so I had to ask Grace to pick it up at CVS which she did happily. I am very grateful for the good care they took of Nash and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for dog boarding.”
“Maria is an awesome sitter! I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone! Her love for animals is out of this world. I needed a sitter at the last minute due to a family emergency. I looked through all the sitters on this app and came across Maria. After reading her reviews, I was sold on how highly everyone spoke of her, and let me tell you, they were right! Paco is usually very nervous around strangers, but when he met Maria for the first time, he warmed up to her as if he’d known her forever. She constantly sent pictures of Paco having a great time. Even though Paco is afraid of bigger dogs, she made him feel completely safe around them. He went to the beach, to the park, everywhere! I felt so at ease knowing that Paco was with someone like her.”

I’m also very grateful to her for being so accommodating when I realized at the last minute that I had booked for the wrong dates! I would absolutely trust her to watch Griffin again in the future.”
