Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Washington Heights, Manhattan, NY

“Gwinevere took very good care of my 10 yr old cat Tina! I am always nervous about new cat sitters because Tina needs medications. Gwinevere was great with her, clearly knowledgeable about cats, and provided Tina all the care and play she needed. Tina was very happy and relaxed when I got home!”

“Lindsay is so good with my cats. Her rates are so affordable I can finally take my kids to visit my parents in the summer without endlessly having to beg my friends to do it! The pics she sends me of my cats are like photo shoots. My one cat sits all regal, the other stretches out luxuriously—I can tell they are content and feel safe when she is here!”

About: I was a volunteer supervisor at the same no kill NYC rescue organization weekly from 2007- 2020. I have cared for dogs and cats of all types with all kinds of issues. I have worked as a dog walker and watched cats prior to Rover. I have fostered and owned both dogs and cats. I have watched up to 5 dogs at any one time in my own home. My current senior dog is petrified of NYC and I do everything it takes to make her walks as pleasurable as possible. I truly love them all. I work FT from home and I take care of my neigbors dogs and cats pro bono. I cannot think of anything else that I would rather do. This isn't work to me. I can do Fridays, weekends and evenings (any day of the week) and depending on your needs, I may be able to flex my schedule around your pets and do weekdays as well. I will follow the client's instructions for their pets. I know how important it is to take care of a pet per the owner's instructions. I will only alert the client if I am not clear on the instructions or detect some sort of danger.

“Stephanie was lovely when we needed some last minute care for our cat for a long weekend! She’s super communicative and was patient with our cat not being the most social while she warmed up to a new human. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16, and animals have always been part of my life. From playful puppies to gentle baby bunnies, I’ve loved and looked after them all. I’ve had dogs and cats of my own, and I’ve also pet-sat for friends — making sure their pets not only stayed safe but had plenty of playtime and attention. I know how much our furry (and fluffy!) friends mean to us, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. ⸻ 🐾 Weekend Pet Care Available! 🐾 I’m free on weekends to care for your pets until September. Starting then, I’ll be available full-time during the week as well! Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, your pets will be in loving hands. I provide a safe and loving environment for your pets. I make sure everything is kept clean, with fresh food and water always available. I follow your schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime so your pets feel comfortable and cared for just like you would do.

“Hennessy was perfect. She played with the kittens, and also cleaned up a plant they’d knocked over, which she definitely didn’t need to do. She was communicative, and sent many adorable pictures of the cats having fun playing.”

“Allison is wonderful. Lotus loves her. Very punctual and goes an extra mile in making sure lotus is well comfortable. Followed all of instructions and kept in touch sharing the info regularly. Would definitely hire her again.”

“Tosha was so good with my son’s cat. She went above and beyond to make sure Peach was comfortable, well-fed and her litter box was always clean. Tosha sent us regular updates and spent extra time playing with Peach (or petting her as her mood dictated.) It gave us so much peace of mind to know Peach was well taken care of. We hope Tosha’s available the next time Peach needs a sitter.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover as long as I can remember. They always bring me so much joy. I had dogs in my home since I was a kid. I’m well experienced walking and feeding and playing with them. They always warm up to me. I’m available all mornings and early afternoons 7 days a week. I work Saturday Sunday and Monday 3-11pm. On those days I can come to check on your dog late if needed. I’m available for overnights at your place except Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I would be mostly coming to your place. If there is an emergency your dog can stay with me temporarily. Some days I’d be working my other job and wouldn’t want to leave them alone.

“Excelent service! Kathy was very loving with my babies.Not only she fed them but she also stood there and played with them for a while (wich she didnt need to). She updated me on everything. It wa simply great, you can tell she really likes animals❤️.”
