Pet Sitting Washington Heights

“Toni was fantastic! She knew exactly how to approach our sassy senior ladies. She’s obviously a cat person. They took to her so well! They are not cuddly to strangers and by the end of the week, she was getting “hugs” and they were enjoying chin scratches. They are normally less than interested in playing and she had them engaged with the laser light. Toni was great with keeping us updated with thorough report cards and lots of pictures. She is also very good at communicating. We couldn’t be more pleased and look forward to using her again!”

“Melissa was super flexible and accommodating! She took such great care of my puppy & put my mind at ease by providing me updates during the check-in! She always had her own backup supplies just in case!”

About: What sets me apart is how seriously I take the trust you're placing in me. I understand that pets are family and leaving them in someone else's care can be difficult. That's why I approach every pet with patience, empathy, and genuine care. I take the time to learn their unique personality (energetic, shy, or just needs a little extra attention), routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and have the flexibility to give them the attention they deserve. With an open schedule, I can easily adapt to your pet's routine, whether that means morning walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I know that being away from their owner can be an adjustment for some pets, so I do my best to create a calm, loving, and familiar environment where they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is for your pet to feel cared for and happy, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they're in compassionate and dependable hands. When caring for pets during drop-in visits and dog walks, I make it a priority to maintain the routine they're familiar with, so they feel comfortable and at ease. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to understand their needs, whether that's a fun walk, playtime, mealtime, or some extra attention and affection. My goal is to provide thoughtful, reliable care that keeps your pet happy while giving you confidence that they're in good hands.

“Jennifer was great! She was super responsive, sent photos to keep us updated, and was able to do two extra visits on short notice. Thanks so much, Jennifer!”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and make it my priority to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to your pet’s routine, I’ll provide the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with different personalities and energy levels. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. As a Division I student-athlete, I have basketball practice Monday through Thursday until around 1:30 p.m., which makes me available for afternoon, evening, and overnight pet care during the week. My weekends are completely open, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care. I enjoy staying active, so whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply needs companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the same love and attention I give my own pets back home. Since I currently live in a dorm, I’m unable to provide pet care in my own home. However, I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, organized, and exactly as I found it. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, make sure they feel safe and comfortable, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing both your pet and your home are in good hands.

“Tara is extraordinarily helpful. I needed someone to visit my cat short notice, and she was on her way to my house within a few minutes. Tara loves pets passionately and it shows in everything she does. She is tuned into cats and gives Jim Catsby so much attention in ways that he enjoys—petting, brushing, etc. Awesome! 10 stars!”

“Beverly did a fantastic job taking care of our cat! She was attentive with pictures and messages on each visit. She even double checked with us about the cat's food routine to be sure she was giving him enough. Lovely experience with a lovely person!!!”

“Roxy was responsive, arrived as scheduled, and checked on our pets as requested. I also appreciate Roxy bringing in our mail packages that were left at the door. Thank you!”

About: Hello everyone! I have years of experience taking care of dogs and it is one of my passions! I am very responsible, caring, and have great communication skills. I have experience walking dogs of every size and I also have experience training dogs. I work part time so I have ability to walk and take care of dogs in the morning and evenings as well as the weekend! My backyard is very large with a fence surrounding it. My neighborhood is very safe with lots of active people and people who enjoy walking their dogs on sunny days.

About: I take care of all animals in my care, mine or not. I never yell and I don't abuse any animal. I treat them as my own and I make sure that their tail wags every time that they see me. I work as a full time dog groomer and now that Rover has that service, I would like to build my own clientele. I work full time so unless I am doing a house sitting or the place is close by that I can do a fly by, I am not available in the morning most days except weekends. Your dog is never out of my sight unless I allow they are secure in a crate. Any thing that brings me concern will be immediately brought up with you and I will find any solution I can to help.

“Gionna has been great with our puppy for the past several months. She is great at communicating and has been flexible to our puppy’s needs. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years providing me with a diverse range of experience with dogs of varying temperaments, including anxious and reactive dogs. I am currently working part-time, so I have a lot of free time to dedicate towards taking care of your pet(s)! I am currently available Monday - Friday for walks and am able to fit most requests in due to working a remote schedule. In my client's home, I am to replicate the pet's home environment as closely as possible. I respect the owner's rules and preferences for their pets, following any specific instructions they provide. If a client wishes, I can provide regular updates including messages, photos, and videos to keep them well-informed about their pet's well-being. Ultimately, I prioritize the safety, well-being, and happiness of the pets I care for, ensuring peace of mind for both pets and their owners.

“Kelera is always super friendly and reliable which is so helpful when we have to be away from our fur baby. Can’t thank you enough, again, Kelera!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and everything in between. What sets me apart is that I truly get pets. I know how to read their body language, meet their emotional needs, and create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and happy. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from high-energy pups to slow-moving seniors. I’m patient with leash training, gentle with nervous animals, and happy to give medication if needed. If your pet has a routine, I’ll stick to it like clockwork. If they just need company and love, I’m all in. To me, this isn’t just a job—it’s about caring for your pet like they’re family. I’m home full-time, so your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and company throughout the day. Whether it’s regular walks, play breaks, or just being nearby for comfort, I’m available and fully present. My flexible schedule makes it easy to accommodate your pet’s routine—early mornings, midday walks, or evening check-ins included. I live right off 93rd & Pleasant in North Beverly, with a huge yard where your dog can safely play, explore, and chase a ball (or two). It’s a secure, peaceful space that’s perfect for outdoor time. I’m also just steps away from the Dan Ryan Forest Preserve—ideal for nature walks full of fresh air, trails, and plenty of exciting things to sniff. Whether your pup needs adventure or a calm environment, I’ve got it covered. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority. I follow all care instructions, never leave pets unattended outside, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

About: I have had my dog now for almost 10 years. I used to care for my dog as well as a roommates dog at one point. I can give medications and can provide First Aid/Heimlich if needed. Strong enough to hold back and tame my 60 pound Boxer mix. I’ve also helped care/walk my sisters Great Dane and my friends smaller dogs for 7 years or so. I love animals and if you have other little friends who need care, just let me know what to do and I’ll do it. I work night shift as an ICU Nurse so I’m home all day. I can pop in and check on your babies any time during the day. I would need to know in advance only cause I do eventually sleep during the day. I’m aware you are trusting me with one of the most important members of your family, I’ll be happy to leave a photo and an update of any changes , good or bad, so you can enjoy some peace of mind that everything is alright.

“I was very pleased with Ellen’s care of my dogs. I would 100% recommend her and would definitely use her again. My dogs were well taken care of while I was gone!”

“Thank you so much for taking good care of our little babies! I appreciate the little walk outing you did for them. I know it’s not easy to get them ready because they get so excited. You’re the best!!”

About: I am an all around animal lover and have been a pet owner for the past 10 years! My home includes male dog, Bailey, Shih-Poo (fixed) and male dog Titan, German Shepherd (fixed) During the week walks will occur around 6:30AM, 7PM and 9:30/10:00PM. Weekends allow for more flexibility for younger pups as I am home more during the day. Patience is a guarantee as an owner of an anxious pup (Bailey), it takes time to become familiar with a new people and being their family being away for any amount of time. Please let me know your pups activity level in effort to keep him/her as close to their routine as possible! Do not hesitated to contact me if any additional questions arise! Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon :) I currently work full time in the Little Village area. I am usually able to make it back south around 5:00 PM depending on traffic/weather I try to keep pets as close to their routine as possible which usually involves a meet and greet prior to and brief overview of the home. I’m always open to instructions being left!

About: I'm a nanny, so whenever I am with one of my kiddos, I'm with their fur sibling(s) too. I love being outdoors with animals, just as it is with little children, it's fun watching them get so excited discover new (and old) things! I'm currently working part-time with a pretty flexible schedule. It gives me plenty of time for playing, walking, and just checking in on your fur family! I value open communication and respect house rules. So, I tend to ask lots of questions about what you as parents do and don't allow in your space, but I let the pets enjoy their home within those confines. I mean, who wants to be bored at home?

About: I’ve watched pets for my friends and loved ones. I also own my on dog. I will make sure your dog or cat has fun, gets lots of hugs and is well cared for. I have a part-time job. I work on Wednesdays every week and Fridays,Saturdays, and Sundays every other week. I’m starting nursing school in July so, I have plenty of time to share with your dog or cat lol. My house is a very safe environment for a dog or cat to be in. I like to keep my home really tightly. Plus I have a pup of my own that loves other dogs.
