She sent great updates and pictures daily and we felt comforted knowing our cat was in good hands while we were away. Will definitely ask her to cat sit for us again!”

“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+++”

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: 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.

About: I have 10 years of experience in raising cats and 6 years of experience in rescuing stray cats. I have 3 cats at home. I am experienced in taking care of kittens, sick cats and dealing with cat stress. I live in a large house with 6 rooms and a backyard for two families. Most of the cats that come to foster care are in single rooms. I love cats, just like I love my own children. My husband and I work from home, so we have plenty of time to take care of your pets, we have plenty of time to take them for a walk. The house I live in has two floors and six rooms. I hope the owner provides food, and I will be provide snacks. The cats will live alone in the cat house for the first two days when they come to my house. I will observe the friendliness of the cats to decide whether to let them play with other cats.

“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!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently care for my own pup, Puffles, who’s been my best friend and biggest inspiration to start offering pet care to others. I’ve walked and cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, and love for getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I make it a point to tailor each walk or visit to your dog’s needs. Whether that means a high energy park adventure, or a quiet stroll through the neighborhood, My goal is simple, to keep your furry friends happy, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way! Hi, I'm Bianca, a full time college student and part time lifeguard and dog walker. I take pet care seriously both on and off duty, making sure every pup I walk gets dependable, loving attention. I typically have availability in the early mornings, late afternoons, and on weekends. I plan my walking schedule around my lifeguard shifts to make sure I’m fully present and reliable for each pup I care for. Whether it’s a walk before work, or an evening drop in, I always make time to give dogs the attention and care they deserve. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them on a walk, safety is always my top priority. I never walk dogs off leash and always come prepared with extra supplies (poop bags, water, and treats). If I’m entering your home for a drop in, I treat it with respect and cleanliness, and I’ll always check in with a photo or quick update. You can count on me to keep your pup happy, healthy, and loved, like they’re one of my own.
