“Bryant was excellent with my senior dog. He was incredibly experienced in terms of my dog’s specific needs, including diaper changes and being mindful of her dementia traits. He was also very communicative and offered multiple updates throughout the day.”

“Allie was super attentive and caring with my pup, Kobe! I felt super secure knowing he was in great hands. Would highly recommend, and will definitely be booking her in the future.”


About: Hello! My name is Patty, and I’m a lifelong cat lover who truly enjoys caring for animals. I have two cats of my own, Sol and Luna, both two years old, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I’ve cared for them since they were kittens, and I’m comfortable working with cats of all ages, from playful little ones to more independent adults. Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I know that each one has their own unique personality and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to whatever makes your pet feel safest and happiest, whether that’s playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their routine. I’m currently a student at Columbia University, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-ins and house sitting. I’m also happy to help with small extras like watering plants while you’re away. I’m open to last-minute bookings whenever possible—just send me a message, and we can find a time that works! I’d love to help make your time away stress-free, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. I am a full time student at Columbia, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am specifically looking for opportunities to pet sit over the summer when I will have the most availability, allowing me to stop by as often as you would want me to. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to their routines, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, getting in plenty of playtime, or just providing calm companionship. I’m experienced with different personalities and energy levels, so I adapt to what each pet needs. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or extra patience I am here for it. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority.
“First time with a dog walker, and Steven was about the most amazing person I've ever met. Very tentative to the needs of both my dogs. I couldn't be more grateful to have found him. I dont know what I'm to do when he's not available for me.”

“Asel was extremely sweet, professional, punctual and responsive! It was my first time leaving my babies with anyone who isn’t family and I was so anxious! Asel did an amazing job not just keeping me updated, but keeping my babies happy and following the care guide provided. I 100% recommend Asel to anyone who wants to keep their babies safe and happy while away.”

About: Hi! I'm a college student working toward vet school, so caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it’s what I genuinely love doing. I've had my own cat for 5 years, so I know what it's like to be a pet parent. I've also spent plenty of time watching other people’s dogs and cats, from very high energy puppies to older dogs who just want a quiet environment. I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. If something’s wrong I will reach out immediately. Since I'm on summer break, I have a pretty open schedule, but I do like to be upfront about my specific availability. I'm available Monday through Thursday anytime after 12:00 PM, all day Friday. On Saturdays, I'm available after 4:00 PM. I can also do evening visits, but I wrap things up by 10:00 PM. I know routines are really important to pets, so I'll work around whatever schedule your pet is used to, like midday walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening check-ins before bed. Consistency is very important! I only provide care in your home because I believe that pets are more comfortable in their own environment, with their own things and smells. I'm really careful with doors or any gates and will always make sure to double check every exit to make sure your pet stays safely inside. I will treat your home the way I'd want mine treated, I will clean up after myself, wash any bowls I use, and leave things tidy. I'll also send any updates/photos at every visit so you can see how things are going. I will also save your vet's contact info, just in case of any emergency. I always like to be prepared for anything.
“Brianna was wonderful!! Not only did our pup love her and feel happy and secure in his own home, but she kept our house immaculate and even washed our sheets and towels before we came home! She sent us lots of pictures and kept us well informed. We will definitely will be booking her again!”


“Emily was fantastic. She was prompt and reliable, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She kept me updated with great photos throughout, and it was clear Nova was happy and well cared for. Most importantly, she followed all instructions closely and made the whole experience seamless.”

“Monique was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly responsive, sent multiple rounds of photos everyday, and just generally took great care of both our apartment and our dog! I couldn’t recommend her more.”

About: Hello! My name is Cameron M, and I’m a dedicated and experienced animal caretaker with over 10 years of experience providing attentive, compassionate care for pets. I’ve spent years looking after family and neighborhood animals—dogs, cats, and small pets—ensuring they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering care, or providing companionship, I make sure every animal receives the proper attention and affection they deserve. Your pets’ well-being is always my top priority, and I strive to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life and something I truly enjoy. I’ve spent over 10 years caring for family and neighborhood pets, so feeding, walking, and spending quality time with animals has become second nature to me. I love starting my mornings with walks or playtime and making sure every pet I look after feels comfortable and loved throughout the day. Whether it’s drop-in visits, daily walks, or overnight care, I always make time to give each pet the attention they deserve. When caring for pets, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure pets are relaxed in their familiar environment. I spend plenty of time giving them attention, exercise, and affection, so they never feel lonely while you’re away.
“Jebraune was great! Our dog immediately took to her and she clearly has a way with dogs. She took great care of our corgi. She also went above and beyond taking him to the park for fetch, brushing him, and we could tell he’s already missing her. She also left our apartment better than she found it and we really appreciated the care she took not only of our dog but of our home.”

“Thank you for everything, Drew! As always, stellar care. We greatly appreciate it and all the special updates we received along the way. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up with two dogs and was very hands-on with their care; everything from long walks to making sure they were always active, happy, and getting lots of attention. Since then, I’ve dog and cat sat for many friends and neighbors over the years, and I always treat their pets like my own. I know how important it is to stick to a pet’s routine and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, so I’m available for pet sitting three days during the week and can be flexible based on your pet’s needs! I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and predictable environment for every pet. I’m very attentive on walks; keeping a close eye on surroundings, avoiding unsafe situations, and making sure your pet is always secure. In the home, I’m mindful about keeping doors closed, food and small items out of reach, and maintaining a clean, hazard-free space. I also take time to understand your pet’s personality, comfort level, and boundaries. Whether that means giving them space to warm up, sticking closely to their routine, or providing extra attention and reassurance, I adjust my approach to best fit their needs!😊🐾
“Amanda was great. She took care of my two Manchesters while I was traveling to/from Argentina. She stayed at my home and gave them the attention I had hoped for. She stayed in touch, sent photos and made the hectic trip easier.”


“Stav did a wonderful job! We were so appreciative that our Aretha received so many nice long walks in the park (more than we ordinarily do!). Aretha was well taken care of and we came home to a clean apartment! Such peace of mind is everything! Thank you, Stav!”

“My active mini-husky Baxter enjoyed his time with Victor. Victor was professional, on time and took great care of Baxter. I would definitely book him again.”

Summer was TRULY phenomenal. Our pups loved her from the start, and my wife and I were close behind! Summer was so professional, communicative, punctual, and thorough when taking care of our pups AND our apartment. We will EASILY be using Summer in the future. No notes. She was exceptional.

Joseph was super sweet, my girls who have the most separation anxiety from me were so well cared for, they were a little skeptical at first, debut shortly after, the pictures spoke for themselves…my girls were cuddled up in his lap, and happy as can be! He also sat on 4th of July and my girls were not a fan of fireworks, and he was so kind and caring, ensuring that they were comforted and cared for! We’ll definitely have Joseph watch my girls again soon!!!

Adolfo did a great job caring for Ernie, especially with the 4th of July fireworks. He updated me how he was doing and sat with him when he wanted to hide under my bed. He left the apartment clean and as is when we had left. I’d recommend him for your dog care.

This is my second time working with Clifmon– he stayed with my cat over the 4th of July weekend and took great care of her. I even reached out to him with a same-day request to see if he could stay with her an additional night and he accommodated that very graciously. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, and caring companion for their pet!

This was my first time leaving my two puppies with a sitter, and Emary made the entire experience so much easier. She took the time to meet them the day before, which immediately made me feel more comfortable and reassured. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, and made it clear that she genuinely cared about them and their wellbeing. I also really appreciated how committed she was to keeping them on their normal routine. She asked detailed questions beforehand and did her best to follow everything exactly as we do at home. Since they’re still puppies, they have a few bad habits that we’re actively working on, and she was incredibly patient, understanding, and accommodating throughout their stay. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

Megan is awesome! She was accommodating, flexible, punctual, responsible, and warm. She took great care of my mini poodle and my apartment. She is polite. She followed all my instructions. She stayed in close communication, and sent me great photos while I was away. I will definitely call upon her again. And most importantly, my dog loved Megan!

Liliana is very knowledgeable about cats. I have a new kitten that needs some socialization and boundaries with my older cats and she knew exactly when to intervene and when to let nature take it's course. I came back from a long trip with both cats happy and healthy.
