Chrissy did an AMAZING job taking care of my two fur babies. She treated them (and my home) as if they were her own. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who needs in-home pet sitting!!!

The trio was very happy when we got home they loved their walk which we weren't expecting them to get because our 3 are a lot. We love them but know they are a lot so we were very happy for the walk

About: I’ve lived with animals of all sizes since before I could walk. I love meeting new anims everywhere I go and do my best to understand and respect them. I see pets as family members, and believe they should be treated as such. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week. I will keep my calendar updated and communicate promptly about any scheduling changes. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay consistent. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pets are family, too. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you know how they’re doing. I’m very comfortable with both cats and dogs and have experience with pets of all sizes.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I am currently unemployed so taking care of your dog(s) is my top priority! So whether it’s staying at your house over night, or just coming in occasionally to check on your dog, I’m your guy! I work well with dogs in any environment, big yards, small yards, or even no yard at all. I am very good at commanding dogs & keeping them out of trouble while also letting them have fun at the same time.

Elise was wonderful! This was the first time leaving my pup and he is a handful so I was a bit nervous but Elise was so great with him and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he and my cat were well taken care of! She sent pics and updates and it really gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Would highly recommend Elise!

About: Hi, I'm Robyn, a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of trusted experience caring for dogs & cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I've grown up with a variety of animals my entire life (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, mice). For the past decade, I've been the go to pet sitter and dog walker for family and friends. Whether it’s high energy pups or senior cats who just want some company, I treat every pet like my own with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Before I was old enough to work, I spent time volunteering at a local animal shelter during my teen years. It gave me early hands on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs, and helped shape my lifelong love and respect for animals. Right now, I share my home with a 5 year old beagle named Scout who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. Whether you're looking for reliable walks, drop ins, or overnight care, you can count on me to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I send regular updates and photos, and I always follow your care instructions to the letter. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! As a stay at home mom, I'm home and active throughout the day, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my regular routine. I'm available for walks and visits from 9am-2pm during the week, and I have full day availability on Sunday. I'm used to planning my days around care and routines, so incorporating pet care feels like a natural fit. Whether it's a morning walk to start the day, a dinner time drop in, or extended weekend care, I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the pet parent's instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort for their pet. I'm very detail oriented and make sure routines, feeding, medications, and preferences are followed exactly as requested. I also let the pet guide the pace of our interactions whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply being a calm, reassuring presence. My goal is to make them feel safe, respected, and as relaxed as possible while you're away

About: I have been caring for pets for as long as I could remember I grew up in a household that always had cats and dogs. One of my favorite things to do is spend time with animals. I have four years of professional experience assisting my mom with her pet sitting services. I I have done drop in visits walks and overnight house sitting. I not only have experience with cats and dogs, but I also have experience with puppies, birds, mice and even pigs. I do my best to fit into your pet’s normal routine. Whether that’s early morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, or evening playtime, I’ll make sure they get care when they need it most. If you have specific timing needs, just let me know and we’ll work it out. Pets are our best friends It’s important to know they are I. Good hands when we can’t be there for them. I would be sure to treat your animal with the same love and care and attentiveness that I treat mine. I want to provide trustworthy and reliable care so that you know your pet is well taken care of while you are away. I would be sure to follow any guidelines you have for the well-being of your pet. I look forward to making new pet friends

About: When I was young I had 5 cats, Yuna, Spooky, Toby, Rose, and JD, rest in peace, I loved them all a lot and they were with me for a long time, especially Yuna. But now I have 2 Cats, one of which is in the room with me as I write this Bio. His name is Spuds, there's a second one, a Black Cat called Casper who's definitely a handful, but regardless I love the two beyond measure. I've taken care of the two as long as I've had them. My experience isn't just limited to Cats, as I've been around Dogs just as long as I've been with Cats. My mother growing up was a Dog Walker, so I naturally have a lot of second-hand experience with Dog Walking and know the basics. She'd take me and my sister all across Brooklyn 5 days a week to walk 3 Dogs, sometimes more. Furthermore my big brother has a Pitbull mix, whom I've also walked plenty of times. This may be my first time as an actual dogwalker/pet sitter, but I'm certainly not inept. This is my first job, so you better believe I have more than enough free time to take care of your pet, no matter what time of day. Unless of course I have other things to do, such as errands, or any other responsibilities that come up, but you will obviously be warned and told about said responsibilities in advance. I play and cuddle my Cats a ton everyday, along with feeding them and cleaning their litterboxes. And with Dogs, I know how much they need their outside time, so I'd obviously take them outside for Walks or fresh air routinely. I may have less experience with other pets, but so long as you give me proper details on how to take care of them, I could care for just about any pet you ask. Be it Rabbits, Turtles, Lizards, etc.

About: “From tail wags to soft purrs—and even tiny paws and eight legs—I love helping pets feel happy and cared for. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets, including ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, and even tarantulas. I’ve walked, bathed, and trained animals (including a dog that became a service animal), so I know patience, attention, and trust are key. Every pet in my care gets love, safety, and companionship, just like they’re part of my family.” My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m able to provide walks, playtime, or overnight care whenever your pet needs it. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. “I deeply care for every pet in my care, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I keep their space clean, comfortable, and secure, and I pay close attention to their needs so they always feel nurtured and well-cared-for.”
