“Amazingly dependable and attentive. Thanks again.”


“Lawrence was such a wonderful sitter. He provided daily updates and took the time to interact with my 2 cats. I highly recommend him for his care and attention to my pets. Thank you again Lawrence!”


“Sylvia is AMAZING she stayed in contact with me the entire time, sent pictures and videos and made sure my furbabies were okay. She's the absolute best! I fully encourage any and everyone to book with her! Thank you Sylvia!! ❤️❤️❤️”


“This is Katherine’s 2nd time watching our cat and we will continue to use her: she’s so sweet and gentle with her! She always promptly checks in and gives us the best updates and photos. We feel comforted leaving our pet in Katherine’s hands ❤️”


“I can’t say enough about the incredible care and affection Lil gave our two boys Smokey and Bandit during our vacation. We’re just afraid they may like her more than us now! Lil followed all our requests to the letter regarding the food, litter, water, times, etc, and went above and beyond playing with them, petting them and grooming them. Her reports were detailed letting us know exactly what took place and how they were, and immediately brought up any concerns. And her pics were unbelievable! The expressions she captured and the action shots were amazing! She could be a professional action pet photographer! And all of this despite issues with our electronic door lock which she also helped us resolve. Lil is extremely conscientious and reliable and I would recommend her highly to anyone!”


“Jessica is awesome. She's very responsible and diligent. We've never had a vacation with a drop-in sitter before and she's relieved all of my concerns. She answered all my questions during the meet and greet, followed instructions perfectly, and sent me daily photos. My cat was happy and healthy when we returned. Highly recommended!! A+++”


“Ellen took great care of my two cats. I really appreciated her feedback on them each day, and her patience with them, as they are shy with new people. I will definitely be using Ellen for cat care again.”


“Sara was a great caregiver to our two cats while we were away. Our cats were take care of and we didn't have to worry. We would contact her again!”


“Very professional,caring, good personality”


About: Hi, I'm Maria! I adore dogs and cats! I've been walking and sitting dogs for over 13 years and a professional pet photographer for 8 years. I grew up with lots of cats and dogs, and I volunteered at an animal hospital while in college. Today, I have a friendly female creme Shiba Inu, Lula. I offer 1/2-hour or full-hour dog walks and pets sitting in the Whitestone and Beechhurst areas of Queens. I will take your puppy to the park for a stroll, a dog park or just around your area - whatever you prefer. Dogs in my trust for walks are NEVER left alone or unsupervised. I always "clean up" after dogs in my care and keep them on the leash unless, with your permission, we go to a secure fenced dog park. Whatever your instructions I will make sure they are followed exactly as you request. I'm a punctual, responsible, and respectful person who loves dogs. I will take good care of your puppy as if they were my own. I will make sure they feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention and affection during their stay with me! As a lifelong owner of dogs and cats, providing a consistent schedule of daily care, feeding, walks, and affection comes naturally to me and my schedule. I provide care, feeding, clean up and affection as instructed. I'm also happy to follow any other instructions that may be specific to each pet.

About: While I don’t have professional pet care experience, I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have always had a deep love and connection with them. From walking dogs to feeding, playing, and simply being a comforting presence, caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’m attentive, gentle, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pet needs an energetic playmate or a calm companion, I’ll treat them like family and follow their routines closely so they feel right at home while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand their routine, behavior, and any specific needs to make sure they feel secure and well-cared for. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment free of hazards, and I always follow the owner’s instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special quirks. I build trust through patience, gentle care, and consistent attention, so your pet feels happy and at ease while you’re away.

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.

“Grace was super responsible and always posted updates. She took good care of Sesame and I can tell from the videos that he is very happy. 100% recommend.”


“Hired Leona for the first time this weekend. She was a wonderful choice. She documented each visit thoroughly with pictures, messages and observations. Although there was a mishap and my cat lashed out, Leona handled the situation like a true professional. She was in communication with me with every visit. She understands pets and understands respect and boundaries. I would love to hire her again in the future, as long as she wants to watch my baby of course!!! Highly recommend Leona. Thank you again!!!”


“Marianna was wonderful. She was punctual and detailed and communicative! Mariana provided my family much peace of mind when she was sitting for our two cats! They were very happy with her, She did some extra work on the litter pan making sure it was very clean to make them extra comfortable! We would definitely hire her again.”

“Cemre goes above and beyond when taking care of Jolie. Excellent communication. She keeps the apartment clean because my cat makes a mess. Highly recommended.”



“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.”
