About: With tons of experience caring for dogs of various breeds, I've developed a deep understanding and love for these loyal companions. From playful puppies to senior dogs needing special attention, I've provided care and companionship at every stage of life. My background includes vet tech classes in high school, equipping me with valuable skills to ensure your dog's well-being. Your furry friend will be in experienced and caring hands. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate ample time to pet sitting, ensuring that your pets receive consistent and attentive care. Whether it’s daily check-ins, extended stays, or weekend care, I can accommodate various needs and schedules. With a strong commitment to providing reliable and loving care, you can trust that your pets will be well looked after, no matter your schedule. Despite living in an apartment, you can trust me to care for your pets in your home with the utmost respect and responsibility. My focus is on providing a comfortable and familiar environment for your pets, ensuring they feel safe and secure while you're away. With a lifetime of experience caring for animals and a commitment to their well-being, I treat every home and pet with the same love and attention I give my own.
About: Ever since my time of being introduced to them, I have always loved dogs. My uncle at one point owned a Husky and a Chihuahua and I would always match their energy and enthusiasm. I have gained some experience dog sitting my old friend’s Chihuahua for about a year. During that time, I learned skills for walking, showing dominance, feeding, and playing with dogs. I, one day, hope to own a Husky and Shiba Inu myself. Please feel free to contact me and discuss further options on myself becoming a pet sitter for you. Thank you for your time! I’m currently working full-time. My schedule is fairly consistent in being Mon-Fri, 9AM-5PM. Outside of those hours, I am available to watch animals, provide company, engage in activities and even house sit to help ground certain pets who may be uneasy when their owners/family are aware. I love to engage in activities that both exercise and communication is enhanced. Not all pets love to move and there are some who prefer their homey-lodgings over a day in the sun. For them, I provide company and conversation as well as any indoor toys or preferences the owners may inform me about.
About: What sets me apart is the personalized, attentive care I give every dog as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pup’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies who need patience, structure, potty training support, and consistent reinforcement of basic commands, as well as senior dogs who may require slower walks, medication reminders, extra comfort, or mobility support. I’m reliable, communicative, and provide regular updates with photos so you always know your dog is happy and well cared for. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs extra attention, I focus on creating a calm, trustworthy environment tailored to them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make their care a priority in my schedule. I plan my days to allow plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and one-on-one attention so pets never feel rushed or overlooked. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to accommodate different routines and energy levels. Whether it’s keeping an active dog engaged, maintaining a puppy’s training schedule, or providing a calm, comfortable environment for a senior pet, I make sure each animal receives consistent care, companionship, and attention throughout their stay. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, crate routines, and bedtime habits to help reduce stress and keep them happy. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, exercise, affection, and space to relax. I make sure they have regular potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also separate pets when needed to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their usual schedule to help them feel at ease while you’re away. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly respond to any changes or needs. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care and make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: My love for animals began when I was very young in my country Ecuador, adopting dogs from the streets and then looking for a second home for them. All my life I have had dogs and lived with them, creating a unique and special bond because they are part of the family and they are children to whom they give a lot of love in return for nothing. I would be very happy if you gave me the opportunity to take care of your dog. You will not regret it. If they are in my house all day, I will give them lots of pampering, their food as the owner indicates, I take them for a walk for half an hour and an hour in the backyard of my house so they can sunbathe daily while playing with balls. You can bring your dog at any time, I'm open. The whole house is protected and there is no danger of your dog getting lost or something happening to it. In addition, we are a family that loves dogs.
About: I'm a Rabbit Specialist, but also have experienced with Dogs, cats and Guinea pigs from time volunteering both in Michigan and New York. In high school, I started a dog sitting, cat sitting, house sitting and dog walking service in my neighborhood. This experience has given me the skills to work with different dog/ cat personalities and to cater to each of their needs. I love animals and believe they should have the best care, I will go the extra mile to make sure that my clients are happy. I will work with my clients to develop a care plan that fits both them and their pets needs. In my free time I volunteer at ACC And All About Rabbit Rescue. So if you have Rabbits or know some one who has and needs a boarding for any occasion I'm available just message me. Currently, now I'm a part-time college student with a very flexible schedule and I am willing to set up concurring visit/ walking schedules. I Mostly work In Manhattan/ Brooklyn but will travel for House sitting. I can also make exception for the right client. Please feel free to ask me any questions
About: Hi, I’m Rachel, and I’ve been caring for animals for over two decades. For the past several years, I’ve traveled the country as a trusted pet sitter through reputable apps and personal referrals, providing high-quality care in homes across the U.S. What began as a lifelong love for animals has grown into a full-time calling rooted in reliability, intuition, and genuine respect for the pets and families I serve.

Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority :) I’m a homebody who works from home, so pet care fits perfectly into my day. I’m around to give them attention, keep them company, and make sure they feel safe and loved the whole time. I care for pets in other peoples homes currently, if it’s family, friends or clients I’ve met throughout the years, my main priority is to ensure a safe and healthy environment for every animal.
