“Great experience with Meryn and our doggy. On time and very good communication setting up our walks. I would recommend her walking services!”


2. Kloe P.
About: I am a member of Pet Sitters International. Before that, I volunteered with Courageous Cats for two years, helping care for shelter cats by cleaning their enclosures, changing their litter & water, and feeding them. I have a semi-flexible schedule. I am available all mornings and evenings, but I am generally unavailable during the afternoon (around 1-4) on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. However, I am available all day during holidays. I have a cat who's approaching ten years old. I am new to this app so I don't plan on boarding animals in my home, as it would probably be stressful for both our animals. However, when I volunteered for Courageous Cats, they had no physical location so cat enclosures would be set up at different pet stores across New Hyde Park and surrounding areas. I would travel to clean and maintain these enclosures during volunteering, so I can travel to your home to care for your animals.


3. Anna M.

“Anna did a great job walking our dog while we were away on vacation. Despite the snow and freezing temperatures, she walked her for the full 30 minutes twice a day every day. She was very flexible when I asked her to pick the dog up at a different location and communicated a bunch of times to update me on how things were going. I highly recommend using Anna.”


4. Shawna R.

“Shawna was great! My dog isn’t an easy walk, he’s always super curious and he pulls. Not a weak dog at all either. She was able to easily handle him and he came back with the post walk zoomies. She was on time and communicative throughout the whole process. Would definitely use again”


5. Miozotis D.
“Miozotis has an incredible way with dogs, displaying kindness and attentiveness in every interaction. She has cared for my husky Bruce on several occasions and each time I'm impressed by her gentle and caring nature. She takes the time to understand my dog's unique needs and preferences, ensuring they are happy, comfortable, and well exercised. Her genuine love for animals is evident in the way she plays with them, attends to their needs, and keeps them safe. I have complete confidence in Miozotis's abilities and know she will be a wonderful addition to the community.”


6. Kathryn L.

“Catherine looked after our lab Jax while we were on vacation for five days she was fantastic made sure he ate and took him on great walks we would definitely recommend her”


7. Katherine H.

“Excellent communication. Thank you!”


8. Gabrielle O.

“Gabrielle was a great. She came on time and walked both of my dogs for 30 minutes. I loved that she sent photos and distance details. My dogs seemed happy and tired after their walk. I will definitely be using her on a weekly basis.”


9. Serena Y.
“Serena is a caring and gentle person. If you get a chance to meet her I'm sure you'd feel the same way. Serena loves dogs and have been taking care of dogs for a while now. She often pet sits for owners of friends and family on her own time and loves doing so. Don't leave your pets to someone who's just looking for a job, look for someone who cares.”


10. Ryan C.

“Ryan is kind and patient with our Fred. They instantly connected!! Ryan is also very communicative especially since this was our first experience with Rover. Great guy”


11. Julia C.

“Excellent!”


12. Reyna A.

“Reyna was great, very punctual and she seemed to know how to handle our boisterous Lab. Would recommend her to anyone.”


13. Ryan A.
“Ryan has the sweetest soul ever. He is very loving and caring. He goes out of his way to make sure what he is doing is correct. He takes care of my two dogs and cat from time to time. Whenever we come back home, they are very happy and properly taken care of. Additionally, no messes were left (as in food on the floor or fluff from a toy). Their water bowl was always filled meaning he filled it all the time because my dogs and cat are always drinking. Ryan is the best!!”


14. Lindsey P.
“Lindsey is someone who genuinely loves all animals especially dogs. Everyone knows how picky I am when it comes to who watches my dog. I don't trust many people because my dog is a rescue who needs a lot of love and attention. Lindsey has not only watched my baby Bella on several occasions but she is amazing with our Rottweiler too. She's a great friend and an amazing dog sitter!”


15. Carmen B.
About: Learning about pets is always fun! They are always joyful and welcoming. I’m always willing to spend time with them because they literally keep you active and entertained! Pet care is already in my daily routine, although I work full time from home and I get to spend time with my own little one- pet care sounds like a cool experience to help people and pets simultaneously. I treat my pet as if she is my child, she quite literally is a forever fur baby! I try to accommodate comfort and safety as much as possible to keep her happy!


16. Jane P.
“Jane has stayed overnight with my two dogs and cat several times, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She has not only care for my pets but also made sure my mail and packages were accepted, watered my plants and did some light cleaning. I hardly know she’s been here, except for the constant updates and daily pics and video. Jane gives me peace of mind while I’m away. Highly recommend!”


17. Victoria P.
About: I've cared for my cat for 4 years and she's as healthy as can be. I've also looked after my neighbor's cats while he was away. I'm currently a full time student but I can look after your pet from Friday to Monday morning depending on what you need me to do. I have my cat in my dorm room and take her out occasionally to wander around outside with a harness and leash on for safety.


18. Gianna T.
About: I’ve always had animals my whole life growing up. I’ve been responsible for helping my family take care of all our animals by walking, bathing and feedings our animals. I am dedicated to providing a loving and professional experience for your pets, treating them with the same care and attention as if they were my own. Occasionally, I have free time during the week, which allows me to take on additional tasks. I am available to assist and care for pets, ensuring they are well looked after while their owners are busy. I can care for your pets by checking in and taking their out for bathroom breaks in the backyard, a walk, feedings or to just show some extra love when left alone for long periods of time.


19. Meili L.

“Meili was great! I loved how she kept my updated regarding shadow. She was so sweet and based on the pictures she sent me through out the day i know shadow was happy with her. I look forward to using her again.”


20. Molly S.
“Molly has joyfully taken care of my 1 year old lab-blueheeler since I have moved to Portland. She has been flexible with the energy needs of my puppy. Whether hanging with her in my apartment after her spay or taking her on a hike, she has been loving and adaptable. Zoey (my pup) recognizes and is visibly excited when Molly walks in the door. She is punctual and trustworthy! She is quick to respond to any inquiry I might have about Zoey. Any furry friend would be lucky to have Molly as a bud for the day!”
