“Lawrence is incredible! He took such wonderful care of my cat Gidget over several nights, and I felt completely at ease knowing that she was in such good hands. Lawrence consistently communicated - he regularly sent me photos and videos, which not only reassured me, but also showed how comfortable and happy Gidget was. It’s clear Lawrence truly cares about animals, and treats them like his own. I’ll definitely be reaching out again for future stays, and would highly recommend him!”
“Nicole was so good with my cat.. she's obviously been cat sitting for awhile and knows exactly what a cat owner needs to hear. I had a last minute trip that I couldn't communicate much with her, but she took care of my baby and kept me updated.”
“Sofya was an incredible host to Murphy. She was so flexible, kind and took care of him very well and left us so many photos we felt like we saw so much of him. Will definitely use in the future”
About: I've had 4 fish, 4 cats and I used to work in a doggie daycare. I currently work as a professional dog walker in one of the many Manhattan based companies! I also use Wag and have dog sitting experience, as well as experience with reactive, aggressive and anxious dogs. I work 9am to 1pm Monday to Friday and are free all day on weekends. I have open availability any time beyond that timeframe but I don't work at night. I do overnight stays though. I make sure all doors are locked, all pets are given fresh water and feed daily, with washed pet bowls, crated if need be, that every strap on a leash collar or harness is secure before leaving the apartment, and I also have heavy duty leashes for pullers, reactive or large dogs and water bowls. I also make sure that anything dangerous like medications or human food are out of the reach of a soft.
“Katherine has become our go to sitter to watch our cat while we are away and is practically like family at this point. Our cat definitely looks forward to her visits and we know she is great hands with Katherine. Her communication is outstanding and she always sends the best photos/videos/updates. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, kind, animal loving sitter!! ❤️”
“Sylvia was amazing! She watched over my fur babies for an entire week. Sylvia is reliable, takes advice very well and is trustworthy. I really appreciate her hard work and patience. She took many pictures and videos and was extremely communicative, which was so great. I received many updates on their activities while she was watching them. She provided my cats with a lot of love and patience since cats require that! I would 100% recommend Sylvia!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15! I lived with a toy poodle named Cookie for 8 years, and a pitbull named King for the past 6 years. Over the years I’ve helped friends and family with their dogs too—walking, feeding, bathing, boarding, and just giving them lots of love and attention. I really enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I currently work part time with children handling only pick ups & drop offs for school so I have plenty of free time to spend outside with the dogs! I have a fenced yard with plenty of space & my dog loves to meet new friends! I also live very close to prospect park where I take the dogs most days!

“Leona is very kind and friendly. She helped us with visiting our cat Pudding twice a day. She really loves cats. She played with Pudding every time and made sure she has food and water and sent us pictures. Pudding was very happy and playful when we arrived. Definitely recommended.”
About: I used to take care of my mom’s dog while I lived with her, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines and giving pets the attention they need. Every morning, I’d take him to the park for playtime and a 30-minute walk, and I always made sure he was fed on time. He was scared of the groomer, so I learned how to brush and bathe him at home to keep him clean and comfortable. That experience taught me how to be patient and gentle, especially with pets that are a little nervous. I treat every pet like they’re my own and really try to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m doing Rover full time right now, so pet care is a big part of my everyday life. My schedule is built around the pets I’m caring for—whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I plan my day to make sure they get enough attention, playtime, and consistency. Since this is my main focus, I have the flexibility to give each pet the time and care they need. When I do dog walks or drop-in visits, safety and trust are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are secure on their leash and check that harnesses or collars fit properly before we head out. I stick to safe walking routes and keep a close eye on their behavior and surroundings. During drop-in visits, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company. I always make sure doors are locked, everything is cleaned up, and the pet is comfortable before I leave. I also send regular updates so pet parents know their pets are happy and in good hands.
“It was the first trip since I adopted my first cat, and I was really not sure what to expect. Our first boarding turned out to be a wonderful experience for me and Mistoffelees thanks to Grace and her two- and four-legged family. Mist made friends with her cats and enjoyed adventures with them, and I loved daily photo updates Grace sent me. Mist enjoyed his summer camp at Grace’s so much and I was afraid he didn’t want to come home 😁 Grace is kind, caring, and attentive. I am very grateful for her service and can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“Samantha was great with Chanel and communicated effectively during my time away from Chanel. She followed instructions, was vigilant with Chanel's overall behavior, and communicated if there were any slight changes in behavior”
“Melanie is professional, kind, patient and a loving dog sitter. She is home full time so you know your dog will get lots of undivided attention. The big plus is that she only looks after 1 dog at a time so there is less chance of your dog getting attacked or bullied. Not only does she follows your instructions as far as feeding times and bed time, but she plays with your puppy all day, and she will help you along with whatever training your puppy still needs. Trixie is still a puppy and learning to use her wee wee pads. Within 2 days, Melanie had Trixie going on her pad consistently, with very few accidents. She goes above and beyond in caring for your dog. You will feel confident leaving your dog with her, knowing she is well cared for while you are at work or away on vacation.”

Sylvia was an amazing pet sitter while we were away for more than a week. She went above and beyond to take care of our cats! She followed all of our instructions completely and even went out of her way to throw out the trash and bring in our packages. We felt so relieved to leave our cats for the first time with someone who truly cared and loved them. Would definitely recommend her services!!
Lil helped us out very last minute with taking care of our sweet and sassy kitty. Not only was Lil an absolute sweetheart and saved the day, but our shy girl came out to spend time with Lil and actually played with her. I couldn't recommend Lil enough, and will for sure request her for our next time away. Thank you!!
Lawrence is a very reliable and responsible person. He took care of our two cats with great attention to detail every step of the way. He thoughtfully sent us videos and proactively kept in touch throughout the process. Thank you, Lawrence — we’ll definitely reach out to you again for our next trip!
Kayla took great care of my 3 cats for 2 weeks… it was her first time sitting for them, and she quickly learned and catered to their individual personalities and preferences… Kayla provided great feedback, and I looked forward to her daily photos and updates… so I could see that they all enjoyed the time and attention she doted on each of them… be it play-time, treat-time, grooming, or just hanging-out-time… Her communications and attention to details allowed me to relax while on vacation…
Nicole is wonderful with my cat Belle. She is very thorough in her care and goes the extra mile to make sure my cat is happy and healthy. She sends the best content of my cat during each visit which I love to watch. Knowing my cat is with Nicole keeps me at ease while I’m away and I don’t need to worry about my cat at all. Thank you, Nicole!!
