“Laura truly provided my husband and I peace of mind and comfort while we were away. Laura is friendly and clearly an animal lover based on her actions. Her daily pictures and the time she spent playing with and cuddling our cats was something we looked forward to each day. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy our time away and also will not have reservations about travel again, as long as we can get Laura!”

About: With a lifelong passion for animals and years of hands-on experience, I bring a unique level of care to every pet I look after. I've cared for dogs of all sizes since childhood and have a deep understanding of both energetic pups and senior dogs with special needs. I recently cared for my Yorkie, who lived to be 13, administering daily insulin injections and oral medications with patience and precision. Whether your pet needs gentle medical support or an active play companion, I’m here to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their needs. As a part-time worker with a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate specific days to pet sitting, ensuring each animal receives my full attention and care. Whether during the week or on weekends, I plan my availability around your pet’s needs to provide consistent, focused, and loving care. While I don’t currently have pets living in my apartment with me, I offer a safe, clean, and cozy environment for any animal in my care. My apartment, though modest in size, is located in Forest Hills which is a quiet, beautiful neighborhood with plenty of green space for walking, playing, and outdoor breaks. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I prioritize their comfort and safety while being respectful and mindful of your space and surroundings.

“It has been a complete blessing being connected with Melanie and having her join our lil fur baby family! <3 This has been our second time using her services and no complaints here. Since the jump, Melanie has been curious, caring, communicative, consistent and incredibly reliable to both me and my lil bunny Honey! Honey absolutely loves her! In the past I would see behaviors after I arrived home from an extended trip but since she’s had Melanie in her life, Honey has been nothing but binkies and wiggles! I think Honey and I have found a keeper! 🥰”


About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 17 years old. I would dog-sit for a fellow neighbor and grew to love their two dogs. I would also have family members asking if I could watch their dog while on vacation with boarding and dog walking. Now that I have a dog of my own, I want to treat any dogs I take care like I would expect mine to be taken care of. I currently have a part-time job so I am able to do walks at night or on Fridays and weekends. For boarding, I do have to be in-person four days a week so I will have someone available to walk as my dog also needs to be walked! I really enjoy going to walks and making sure that the pets I watch are taken care of so that once inside nap time is required :) Inside of my home, I have many toys for your fur baby to play with. My dog is also friendly and will be wanting to play with your dog! In your home, I typically look at the environment and remind myself that I am a guest at your house! I will ensure that everything is looked after.

“Catalina was amazing! My cat Louie really enjoyed her company. She was responsive and punctual with her visits. I felt very comfortable with our first meet & greet, her energy and love for animals radiates in the kind care she was able to provide for my old man. 100/10 would book again!”


About: I have plenty of patience tolerance and adaptability and with no pets right now and really miss having a little sweetie around. I have lovingly cared for ill and elderly fur kids. Sober since 1996 so no exposure to smoking, drugs or alcohol in my care. Meditating twice daily for decades and find it also makes for a nice peaceful environment. Fur kids love curling up in my lap for meditation time and it can help regulate their little nervous system too. I mostly work remotely so my schedule is pretty flexible and I have a lap available while in my office. I also walk a few miles a day to avoid my lap getting too big. If you see anything that might be limiting in my profile - feel free to ask and see if I can accommodate or make any exceptions. Im pretty flexible with accommodating fur kids. If they are used to crating to feel safe its not a problem but if crating is not necessary that's fine.

“Great and attentive to my dogs needs Yogi was well exercised and tired when he came back from his walk. Would definitely use Mandel again and again”



About: I love dogs and cats since I was a kid. I enjoy walking and running with dogs and the energy they have! So I would be your choice if you have an energetic baby lol. I have more than 10 years personal experience with pets. I had a small white Pomeranian growing up and she was always my best friend until she past away two years ago at the age of 11. I took care of her at her very last year and that's a very valuable memory for me. I am also good with dogs of my friends' and family's. Dogs love me and I am always been asked to take care of them when the owners are away. I just adopted a cat this year and have a good time with him, too. I work from home and get off my job at 5pm on weekdays so I prefer anytime after that. My job is pretty flexible so contact me if you need me during 9am to 5 pm and let's figure out if I am available during that time. I can do anytime on weekends. I will do dog walking in the neighborhood if it is quiet and safe with less cars, or take them to the central park if it's near by. As a beginning dog walker I will walk less than two dogs at a time. I will at least make sure they pee and poop during the walk :)

“Vanshika is caring, communicative, and reliable. She took great care of my two cats while I was away and shared plenty of photos and updates with each visit. I would highly recommend booking her for your pet sitting needs!”


“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Regina K. as a pet sitter for my cat, Layla, while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Regina followed all of the instructions I left for her perfectly and took great care of Layla during each home visit. She was very nice and pleasant to communicate with, which made me feel at ease while I was away. Regina made sure Layla had her treats, wet food, and fresh water, cleaned the litter box thoroughly, and even spent time playing with her—something that meant a lot to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Layla’s well-being and comfort. I really appreciate Regina’s help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Regina!”
