First time arranging a sitter for my cat and I was nervous, but I got Christy and she has been amazing and lovely. Cats can be cats and I worried if my girl got overstimulated and took a “stop petting me now” swipe a sitter would be upset, but Christy gets cats! I got updates and photos every visit and she made sure I knew my kitty was doing well. It was such a relief that she genuinely likes my cat! Will definitely be using Christy again!

Charlie has been amazing with my dog Oliver. He walks him during the day and is always reliable, attentive, and caring. I can tell Oliver genuinely enjoys his time with him, which gives me peace of mind while I’m busy. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Charlie makes it effortless. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and kind dog walker.

About: I've taken care of all types of pets since I was 8. Ranging from 3 month old puppies to 15 year old seniors. Family and friends have relied on me to walk and care for their pets. I am also currently in college pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. I'm currently in college and working part-time but I will have more than enough time to truly care for and walk your pups! I will put great amount of time and energy into each walk. I have 3 dogs which I have cared for, for many years and take on extensive walks 3-4 times a day. I know how to leash-train and can deal with pulling. Dogs tend to trust me quickly because I take time to let them know I’m here to care for them. I make sure my animals and those of others feel all my love.

Jessica is awesome. She's very responsible and diligent. We've never had a vacation with a drop-in sitter before and she's relieved all of my concerns. She answered all my questions during the meet and greet, followed instructions perfectly, and sent me daily photos. My cat was happy and healthy when we returned. Highly recommended!! A+++

About: Now accepting spring and summer bookings! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and believe they should always be treated like family. I began caring for animals in 1996 and have over 20 years of experience with dog walking, pet sitting, boarding, drop-in visits, playtime, and administering medications. I provide calm, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, a senior, or needs extra support, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I specialize in consistent morning walks and in-home care for busy professionals and families in Fresh Meadows and surrounding neighborhoods (within a 3–5 mile radius). I enjoy building trust with every pet I care for and always treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in experienced, dependable hands while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your furry family! Use my promo code MARLES24678 for a special new client discount. My schedule currently allows for morning availability for walks and pet care, as well as pet sitting. I am also accepting bookings for summer 2026 for walks, pet sitting, and boarding. I’m happy to answer questions and help find a schedule that works for you and your pet. I follow all instructions provided by each pet parent carefully to ensure consistency in the pet’s routine and comfort. I prioritize each pet’s safety, well-being, and emotional needs, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special care requirements. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection based on their personality and energy level. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and cues so I can respond appropriately and keep them comfortable and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little, as we had a rotating door of pets! I love dogs in particular, always down to play and cuddle and walk! I am a remote employee so my schedule has lots of flexibility and I will take care of your pets with love, care and attention! I live near a few great walking areas to take your dog to explore, run, chase and expend their energy! I will give them the personalized care each dog needs.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my reliability, attention to detail, and hands-on experience working with animals. I’ve volunteered at Sean Casey Animal Rescue, where I helped care for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and backgrounds. That experience helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to provide calm, patient, and compassionate care. In addition, I often take care of friends’ dogs when they travel or are away, so I’m used to maintaining routines like feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are gone. I’m especially attentive with young pets who need structure and positive reinforcement, and I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need slower walks, extra attention, or medication reminders. I prioritize safety, consistency, and keeping pets relaxed in their environment. I also make sure pet parents stay informed by sending regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel secure and cared for, and every owner feel confident their companion is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible freelance schedule and currently no full-time job. This allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the day. I’m able to plan my work around walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime, making sure each pet gets reliable care and attention. Because of this flexibility, I’m also available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits when needed. My routine allows me to be dependable, responsive to pet parents, and fully focused on providing safe, attentive care for every pet. I provide attentive, reliable care that keeps pets comfortable and safe in their usual environment. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, and making sure they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I also monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they are happy and healthy while you’re away. For drop-ins or walks, I make sure pets get the physical activity and attention they need, along with bathroom breaks and any specific care instructions you provide. I respect your home, keep things clean, and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving owners peace of mind.

About: Each dog is treated exactly the same. Let me know of any allergies or specific cravings your dog has or needs! This is important. I observe each dog and their habits. I care for each dog as if they were my own. I am a loving and caring individual. I care for animals more than anything. They deserved to be treated fairly. Each dog is unique in their own way and I appreciate that the most! You are to bring food and treats if needed for your dogs, but mostly remember they are in great hands! No worries. I am to make your dogs life happier! Dogs are more than pets to me. They are family. If you are interested, Inquires feel free to contact me! Thanks guys

About: I’m an animal person at heart, and I have learned a lot anout dog care in my 10 years of experience raising my own. Whether you have a rambunctious puppy or mellow senior dog, I am able to gauge how much mental and physical stimulation they need in order to give them a fulfilling day of play and relaxation. I have an Australian Shepherd puppy myself, who I am very passionate about training. She loves to make new friends, so I definitely wouldn’t mind if another pup joined in on our training sessions! I work a fully remote job, so I am able to watch over pets as much as needed. I can offer daycare services from 6AM-10PM daily! I have a fenced backyard that I use for training sessions. I can take your dog on walks around the neighborhood, or if allowed, there is a nearby dog park where we go to play fetch. I have an extra dog bed and food/water bowls for your dog, but if you’d prefer they be crated for naptimes you can bring your own crate. I can follow your regular feeding schedule, and your dog will be fed separately from mine. The house and neighborhood are very quiet, so dogs who are sensitive to loud noises won’t need to worry.

About: I have a eight year old French Bulldog, and I have a deep appreciation for dogs and their unique charm. I often observe my dog expressing his desires and emotions, and I am adept at recognizing the distinct feelings and moods of each individual dog :) I’m available to care for your pet 3–4 days a week. I make sure they’re walked twice daily, and we also have a backyard where they can enjoy some outdoor time. My dog usually relaxes and sleeps at home 😂 It’s a quiet, clean, and safe environment with no kids or other pets around. I make sure all pets feel comfortable, supervised, and well cared for at all times.
