“Jennifer is amazing! She recently watched my 11-month-old puppy, Charlie. It was my first time leaving him with a sitter since I adopted him, so naturally I was a little nervous. From the moment I met Jennifer, I could tell right away that Charlie would be in great hands. She treated Charlie as if he were her own dog, with lots of love and attention. She shared adorable photos after every visit and updates that made me chuckle. It was really nice knowing that not only was Charlie being taken care of, he was also being loved while I was away. When I got home from my trip he was happy as a clam!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She went above and beyond to cater to my special requests and was always prompt with her visits. She communicated with me thoroughly and I really appreciated it!”
“She was a great cat sitter for our 5 cats (3 of which required medicine). She sent us a message after every visit letting us know how everyone did and some very cute pictures. She went above and beyond with the time and care she gave our cats. We hope she’s available the next time we go on vacation!”
“Ken was great. He was always on time, sent lots of pictures with updates, and was happy to go above and beyond for our dog visits. Will definitely use him again when going on vacation.”
“Amber was so wonderful!! She was so kind and caring to our dog, and did everything we asked for a drop-in visit. Everything went smoothly, we couldn’t of asked for anything more! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Kasey provided incredible communication and service throughout my time away. Providing pictures and updates of her checkins as well as going above and beyond to give my dog treats and stick around to let her play outside for extended periods of time! I will 100% be using Kasey whenever I need to step away for an emergency again, or anytime for that matter! 10/10 in dealing with my Belgian who is very high energy and I know it takes a great dog person to be able to handle her energy. kasey did that incredibly well.”
“Melanie is great! Friendly and, judging by the pictures I got every day, my dog sully loves playing and hanging out with her. Would definitely recommend to anyone!”
“Chris was very prompt and interested in our kitties on the meet and greet. She kept us informed while we were away and the cats seemed well cared for when we returned. Recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. But I’ve cared for my dog Tickle for 12 years now. I trained him as a puppy and care for him in his old age. I can do it all!! I’ve also cared for cats and fostered cats. I can administer medication, give baths, clean litter boxes, go for walks, and more! I am currently out of work and so I’m pretty available through out the week. I babysit sometimes but it’s usually once a week and very random. I am very careful with animals!! I know taking care of my older dog I take it very serious about what he eats. I know different animals have different rules. Also.. ANIMALS NEED LOVE!! I can give them love so they don’t feel lovely, take them for walks, give them treats and food, and anything else that is needed.
“Fantastic service from Schejn! We are new to the area with two large dogs one being a German Shephard. We needed to go out of town for a funeral and were panicking that we did not have a dog sitter for our two dogs, one being a German Shephard. Contacted Schejn who visited the house prior to us leaving to do a meet with the GS. Schejn was not intimidated and developed a trust with the GS very quickly, which was a huge relief to us. During the our time away, Schejn sent us updates after each visit with photos and comments. We felt that the "boys" were in great hands with Schejn and we did not need to worry. Schejn is definately our go to guy for any of our future trips and now that we have a reliable and trustworthy sitter we can do more trips.”
“Diana was wonderful! She was extremely helpful in taking care of our pets on our two week vacation! Diana is kind, clean, communicative and followed all of the instructions I left to a tee. We were very thankful and happy with her services!”
“Maelynn was great with our two dogs! She was very responsive and kept us informed throughout the day with updates and pictures. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: Hey there! A little bit about me - I grew up in a dog loving household so I’ve been taking care of, loving, and playing with furry friends my whole life. After moving to the city away from my own, I decided to get into Wag to still be around animals and help pay the bills! I have experience in all things from long walks to short ones, big dogs to small dogs, feeding, playing, pottying, all of the above. I’d love to get to know your pup whenever you need an extra hand! I tend to have a pretty flexible schedule!! I will always try to find space in my day and week to help care for your pup. I’m new to the River scene in NYC but have been successfully walking dogs on another pet care app for over a year!! (50 services to be exact). Mainly a lot of walks ranging from short to long and a few drop in visits. I am unable to host dogs in my apartment building, but will happily do an overnight stay at someone’s home if that’s what you all need!
“Lucia is fantastic. We are first time reptile owners and it was great to know that our sitter has a lot of experience taking care of tortoises. We were able to leave the country knowing Ged was in capable and caring hands. She is communicative and understanding of our needs. We will definitely be rebooking with Lucia in the future!”
About: I've cared for dogs, cats, horses, and other animals from a young age, and they’ve always been an important part of my life. Working at an emergency veterinary clinic gave me hands-on experience handling animals with care and confidence, even in high-stress situations. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how to create a safe, loving environment and set healthy boundaries. I also gained valuable insight into training through my own dog’s work with a professional trainer, which taught me practical techniques to support positive behavior day to day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended care. I’m generally able to adjust my day around your pet’s schedule, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and never rushed. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each animal’s routine, personality, and any special needs or boundaries to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all client instructions carefully and keep you updated, so you can feel at ease while you're away. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful of your space and focused on keeping your pet’s environment calm and consistent. During walks I stay alert to surroundings, other animals, and people to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Every pet is unique, and I take pride in providing thoughtful, trustworthy care that helps them feel happy, safe, and loved.
About: Growing up my family always had pets. I bought my first dog when I was 17 and have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since then. I love the fur babies. They are not just pets. They are my babies!! I work as a full time school bus driver so I currently am only available on weekends after noon. My availability may increase in the summer time. I live in a quiet pet friendly neighborhood. My pets love it here. We have never had any issues or complaints so I can guarantee the same for your babies!
