“Lindsay was incredible with Sunny. She was very thorough during the meet and greet. She gives detailed updates with great pictures. Overall she goes above and beyond. I would definitely recommend.”

“Tiffany is so patient with our special condition of multiple dogs and nervous dogs. As always, we highly recommend her service and will definitely have her watch our dogs again!”

“James was an excellent caregiver for my cat. He came over early to see the house and meet Finbar, sent nice updates and pictures. I would be happy to use his services again.”

“Mengyao stepped in last minute when our sitter canceled during Christmas. She was incredibly responsive and communicative. She sent lots of great pictures, videos, and updates during her visits. Our pets loved her and were very well cared for. We can’t recommend Mengyao enough! We are looking forward to having her watch our babies again.”


“On time, sent pictures, Katie loves her, she was able to help very last minute and went above and beyond. We couldn’t have asked for better service. Will be definitely asking for Kristen’s services again!”

“Jana helped us out very last minute! She was flexible when I asked her to come a little earlier. Will definitely request Jana again. Highly recommend!!”

“Kaitlin took great care of Jed over thanksgiving. As always, she was prompt and communicated with us with great details and pictures. This time, Jed seemed to want more attention and Kaitlin nicely stayed a little longer so he would feel better. That was amazing and we came home to a happy and relaxed cat. We appreciate Kaitlin and recommend her highly.”

“Sean is a great human and a great carer. My dog is incredibly picky and always right. She will decide at the door, on the first sniff, if she is ok with someone or now, and she immediately took to Sean. He tracks their walking route and sends me the cutest update pictures. He has also been so flexible with my dogs recent surgeries. He walks my dog daily and it is the highlight of her day!”


“Michael really helped us out with our older girl. He did three walks a day so she could get her mental stimulation and energy quota. You can tell he’s a dog lover and adapts to different dog personalities. Would definitely trust Michael with our girl in the future.”

“Gabriel was wonderful with my pups! He was very communicative and flexible with my whacky schedule, and he took the time to come over in advance to meet them first and introduce himself so they wouldn’t be meeting a strange for the first time during their drop in. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”

About: I have been around dogs and cats all of my life. Growing up in the Hudson Valley, we had two dogs: an American Pit Bull Terrier and an APBT Staffie mix. They were the most athletic and lovey dogs! In their senior years, they had medical issues so I am experienced with med management and adopting activities to their capabilities. We also had several cats growing up including adopted strays. Currently, my fiance and I have a half APBT, half Siberian Husky dog. He is the best! We adopted him from a family that kept him in his crate for so long that he bit off a large portion of the hair on his tail. He was reactive in the beginning, lunging at cars on the road and barking and lunging at dogs on walks. I used Spirit Dog Training’s reactivity course and my education in behavioral psychology and research to fix these issues. He no longer does either things and his hair has grown back in spades! We keep him busy by training him (tricks) and mentally stimulated with sniff walks and games like find it, as well as off leash time, hikes, runs, etc. We love hiking with Oto: he recently completed numerous hikes in Acadia National Park and has done Camel’s Hump in VT and Mt. Osceola in NH: he plans on completing the NH 48! In general, I love being outside and active: hiking, snowshoeing, snowboarding, running, kayaking, rock climbing and going to the gym. I love all dogs, but have a particular drive to keep working dogs happy and healthy! German Shepherds, Border Collies, Huskies, Cattle Dogs, Anatolian Shepherds: it is amazing what they can do and how they have served our communities in numerous roles for decades. I have spent a lot of time with my sister’s German Shepherd and half GSD half Anatolian dogs and my family's Great Danes. I also volunteered at a therapeutic horseback riding center and rode horseback for several years; I find being around horses to be great training for how to interact with, and train, dogs. They are so big that they don’t HAVE to listen to you. Maintaining confidence (even if you don’t feel like it) and a steady hand go a long way, as well as keeping aware of their body language and behaviors. They are very sensitive creatures. In the Fall of 2026, I am resuming my graduate program in clinical social work and have indicated my availability in the details section. However, those times and days don't apply during winter and summer breaks (open availability then). Please share your dog's behaviors and needs with me before scheduling walks. If your dog is reactive (barks at dogs on walks or lunges) please let me know and I can adjust the walking route and make sure to give other dogs plenty of space. Let me know what their usual distance on walks is, as I can try to adjust my pace accordingly. I have a lot of experience with this (decades). If you have treats for your dog, I can take them out with me if needed.
“Absolutely Amazing! Tanya took care of our cat while we went to Spain for Christmas and New Years. She is extremely responsible, trust-worthy and really good at communicating! She even took out our trash for us! Would totally recommend to anyone. Thank you, Tanya✨?️”

“Eli clearly feels at home caring for pets. We don't leave our pups alone often, but we were quickly put at ease with Eli's kindness & clear love of pets and our two took easily to enjoying their time spent with Eli”

About: Hi! I'm a recent graduate who lives with a senior cat; I have a lot of experience with senior pets, special needs pets, medication administration, etc. I'm able to exercise with and play however your dog likes! I've been pet sitting and walking dogs for my friends and family (and Wag!) for over a decade (dog in the profile picture is my brother's dog Kuma!) Pets bring me so much joy and I want to help take care of them as a community effort :) I'm here to build trust, please ask any questions 🫰 I am a gig worker currently, therefore very flexible—request me and there's a high chance I'll be available! I'm around weekends and weekdays, my own cat has plenty of alternate caregivers. I would not be able to host pets in my home, but would follow any rules at clients homes to make pets feel safe and regulated :) consistency helps them and me!
“I'm very thankful for Wanda because I was away overseas and my previous sitter had to cancel.. this was not a situation any pet parent should ever be put through and I was able to get ahold of Wanda who came to the rescue even without me being there to show her the procedure for taking care of my 2 cats. (Granted, I had a Youtube video giving an overview of the process and I gave her the codes to my lockbox and my home alarm which all went smoothly.)”

“I was initially super anxious about using this service, but Stephen put my mind at ease with incredible care, kindness, and communication. Amazing sitter, went above and beyond. Thank you!!!”

About: I’m just an animal lover, through and through. I have an almost 12 year old boxer/pit that I raised from 7 weeks. Through this experience I know how to care for weeks-old puppies to older dogs. Animals always want to play with me and I feel that it’s because they sense my good energy. I will keep your dog fed and happy! It’s important for our pups to stay active and stimulated. Please feel free to reach out to learn more about me, ask any questions about my services and more. Looking forward to meeting you & your pup! Pet care comes natural to me. I will spend a lot of time with your pup and mine in order to keep him/her active and happy. I usually take them to the dog park so they can socialize and get their energy out. I also love cuddles! I love an affectionate pup.

As always we feel very comfortable with Aly taking care of our, now senior, cats. There was a smoke alarm ringing when Aly came into our house on one of the days to care for the cats. She quickly figured out it was a false alarm, was able to contact our son, and get the alarm taken care of. We are so grateful for her quick thinking and resolution of the problem. Thank you Aly!

My dog, Rocco, is a 15 year old terrier who had never been under the care of a dog sitter. I was extremely fortunate that Marilyn was available to attend to his care over the past weekend. Marilyn is a very warm, friendly, compassionate, and deeply caring sitter. My dog gravitated to her immediately. Marilyn provided the most amazing and utmost care of our dog throughout the weekend. I highly recommend her services, and will contact her immediately for all my future dog sitting needs.

Mike did a great job doting on our very neurotic cat. He managed to slip a pill into her food every morning, and stayed around for a bit so she could get a "second breakfast" afterwards. He even got to pet her occasionally, something only a very select few can say! Fountains were kept filled, cat box was clean, and bowls weren't overflowing with stale, dried up food. Definitely recommend!

Abby is a wonderful sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of at home. Not only did she take care of my baby Smoky, she brought in our packages, took our trash to the curb, and cleaned up a spill in our kitchen; all things that were way out of the spectrum of caring for our kitty! Thank you so much Abby for taking such great care of Smoky. We hope that you can visit again soon over the summer!
