About: I’ve owned and taken care of a diverse group of animals since the age of 12. Dogs, cats, birds, rodents, & reptiles. I am skilled in basic animal behavior and animal first aid. I’ve taken care of animals with strict diets as well as animals that require medical necessities. I am also a NYS certified first responder (EMS) that can provide basic care that is suitable for larger animals. Walking, bathing, feeding, training, medicine administering; I do it all. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur, feathered, reptilian babies. Fridays & Saturdays I work my EMS job so I am typically unavailable during those days but I can provide overnight care when needed. I live in an apartment building so there are no outside influences that can possibly disrupt your pets routine. I adhere to all pet owners preferences, i.e. crate training. I will not double book my care time to insure safety to all pets.

“Shelly has been checking on my doggie, few times per week on regular basis, for the past few weeks. She is very kind, caring, reliable and on time... My puppy has had some GI issues couple of times during this time and Shelly has been very caring for her. My little pooch luvs Shelly so much! she looks at the door, excited, looking for Shelly when ever I mention Shelly’s name! I’ve been feeling really at ease and peaceful, when I know she is coming to check on my doggie. Thank you very much Shelly :)”


“Our cat is in love with Ellie! She gave him all of the cuddles and love...along with food and his insulin shot every night. As a senior cat, Iowa needs special attention and Ellie is a great caregiver for our old pal!”


“Karen is the best! She has taken excellent care of Renzo many times. It gives us peace of mind to be able to travel and keep Renzo at home. We highly recommend, Karen!”


About: I absolutely love caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages! During my time at Dogtopia, I gained invaluable skills in creating a safe, fun, and enriching environment where pups can thrive. I’m trained in recognizing and understanding each dog’s unique personality, play style, and comfort level—making sure every interaction is both joyful and stress-free. What truly sets me apart is the extra care and attention I give to making each animal in my care feel happy, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs an adventurous walk, a shy dog who needs gentle encouragement, or a senior dog who appreciates slow strolls and extra cuddles, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I’m attentive to both physical and emotional well-being—monitoring for signs of stress, fatigue, or overexcitement—and I’m skilled at balancing playtime with rest, so your pup goes home happy and content. With me, your dog isn’t just watched—they’re treated like a beloved family member every single day! Pet care is a joyful part of my weekly routine! Weekends & weekdays are fully open for boarding & daily care of your furry loved ones. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at ease. When I provide visits or walks at your home, I take time to keep your pet’s routine consistent—feeding at their usual times, following your exact instructions, and giving them the same love and attention they’re used to from you. I make sure they feel secure in their familiar environment, with plenty of play, exercise, and cuddles to keep them happy until you’re back. When pets stay in my home, they become part of my family. I offer a warm, clean, and friendly environment where they can relax, play, and enjoy constant companionship. I’m attentive to every detail—from cozy sleeping spaces to safe play areas—and I never leave pets unattended. I tailor my care to match their needs. No matter where I’m caring for them, your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I treat every furry friend as if they were my own, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

“This was our second time working with Sarah and we are so pleased with the care and attention she took with our cat, including giving her medication. We feel safe leaving our cat in Sarah’s care and we look forward using her services again!”


“Katherine was wonderful with my two sphynx cats while I was away. Meds, food, play and litter boxes all taken care of. Plenty of updates and photos. Returned to happy kitties. Would recommend to anyone looking for drop in visits!”


“Tatyana was amazing and left our cat feeling happy and calm, she also did a great job cleaning up after him and accommodating for our times for dropping the keys off at our place.”


“She did a wonderful job with our three dogs and checking in on them. She gave us updates the whole time, with a video call, videos, and pictures. She was wonderful, and I would highly recommend her services!”


“Colleen is simply the best!! She took care of my cat for 5 days while I was out of state. She was very communicative and let me know each time when she arrived. She also provided a little note and photos each visit which I truly appreciate. I felt so relieved knowing my cat was happy and doing okay! I highly recommend Colleen and I will definitely be using her again in the future.”


“Manny was a great communicator and we returned to find our cats happy. We were away for a week with Manny doing once-a-day visits. He checked in with us regularly and shared photos. Thanks, Manny!”


About: I used to work full-time as a Wag dog walker and pet sitter many years ago. Now, I take care of my friend’s dogs when they go out of town. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and abilities. I have a pretty flexible work schedule since I work remotely, so am available for drop ins throughout the week as well as longer stays. I treat my client’s homes with respect and make sure I ask how to keep their fur babies feeling safe and cared for while their loved ones are away!

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and caregiver. I had my cocker spaniel, Princess, for 15 wonderful years—she joined my life as a 3-month-old puppy and stayed happy and healthy well into her senior years. Everyone thought she was still a pup thanks to her playful spirit! Today, I have a 1-year-old Cavapoo, Enzo, who keeps me active and smiling every day. I love getting to know each dog’s personality—whether that means teaching tricks, playing fetch, or just chatting during a walk. I’m attentive, proactive, and always focused on making sure both you and your dog feel confident and cared for. Your pet’s happiness (and your peace of mind) is always my top priority. I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I’m primarily available for weekend care. On weekdays, I’m also available before 8:00 AM and after 8:00 PM for quick walks, drop-ins, or evening visits. If you’re looking for early morning or late-night support during the week—or full availability on weekends—I’d be happy to help! Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. I live near a spacious park with a large dog park, including a private section for dogs who do better with less social interaction—so there’s plenty of safe outdoor space to explore, play, or just enjoy a nice walk. In my home, pets are free to roam so they can settle in and feel right at home. I create a calm, welcoming environment where your dog can relax and be themselves. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely—whether that’s meal times, walks, play, or medication—so your pet stays on their normal routine and feels secure while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters for many years because it’s what I love to do. I have a huge heart when it comes to animals, they keep me happy and, make me feel complete whenever they’re in my company. I’m normally free Fridays after work around 2pm, all day Saturdays, and all day Sundays. I am also willing to make some changes if necessary. I do not own any pets at this time and I don’t have any small children in the house. All my attention will be on the pet that’s in my care whether care is taking place at my home or clients home.

“Unlike many other reviews, I asked Ms. Bianca to come to my house once a day and feed my cat which is exactly what she did and I am satisfied. However, like some other reviews, I did have to request pictures for the 2nd drop in, which she subsequently always provided thereafter without asking. I just want to reiterate how stressful and nerve wracking it can be on a vacation to not get that photo on a drop in and have to wait 24 hours to get it. Other than that, I have no complaints. She took care of my baby well and was trusted to enter my home while I was away and for that she is a reputable, reliant, and trusting cat sitter. Her daughter is also very gentle and natural with cats and respecting of others homes. Lovely family.”


About: I have extensive experience with dogs, cats, and exotic pets of all ages. I have had four dogs in my home since I was 9 (as well as cats, lizards, fish, etc.) and have never lived without a pet. I have experience with many different pet breeds, senior pets, pets with medical needs, and puppies/kittens and will care for your pet like they are my own! I have been pet sitting for others since I was 15 and currently care for my own Persian cat in college. Caring for animals is something I am extremely passionate and well-versed in after 10+ years of experience. I have no problems with unique needs, “difficult” dogs, or mess. I have open availability until august 25th!!! After that, I am available any weekday before 10am, TRF after 5pm, and have open availability on weekends. I do not offer pet care in my home, but I am able to offer overnight care in a client’s home, pet care during the day, or regular walks. The details of care depend heavily on the unique needs of your animal and your preferences for your pet and home!

About: I’ve had a variety of pets including hamsters, birds, cats, dogs, and reptiles! I will be able to care for all. Can’t wait to meet your beloved animals. I work hybrid, so I go in person 3 days a week and remote 2 days a week. I’m also off on the weekends and can request 4 weeks a year to work remotely everyday. My schedule is really flexible and I will definitely follow any special instructions for your special friends. Let me know what works best for you and I’ll do my best to accommodate!

Essence S.Star Sitter
“Essence took cake of my 1.5 year old Doberman Onyx. Even though he is very rambunctious and energetic - she had no problem caring for him and I felt safe leaving her with him. Essence is very good with animals and especially big dogs. She has a lot of large dogs of her own - so she knows how to care for them. She's a wonderful pet sitter and I recommend her to others.”

Angela P.
“I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Angela. From the very beginning, she treated my dog as her own. She went far beyond basic care—taking my dog on extra-long walks, giving them snuggle time, and constantly ensuring they felt safe, loved, and happy in my absence. One of the most thoughtful things she did was place one of my shirts in my dog’s bed whenever he was left alone, so he could still feel my presence and be comforted. It’s small acts of love like this that show how deeply she cares. I always felt complete peace of mind knowing my pup was in such compassionate and capable hands. I’m forever grateful for the care and genuine affection she gave my dog. I never felt guilty about leaving my dog with Angela because I knew he would be in great hands.”

Max has even taken care of my own dog while I’m out of town, he is completely trustworthy and has nothing but love for animals!”


Naomi M.

“Naomi gave excellent service for my Yorkie Egypt. I highly recommend her services”


Lesly R.
“Lesly is one of the very select few people I fully trust to care for my cat, Bucky, when I’m away—and that’s saying a lot. She has looked after him during multiple extended weekends while I am away in Pennsylvania visiting family (I live in Westchester, NY), and each time, she’s gone above and beyond what anyone would expect. Bucky has a reputation for being sneaky—he’s managed to unplug his automatic feeder more than once—but Lesly always checks it thoroughly to make sure he doesn’t miss a meal. She also ensured his self-filling water fountain was working properly (he no longer uses this product), since he went through a picky phase of only drinking dripping water. Even though his litter box is self-cleaning, I know Lesly would have no problem handling it herself if kindly requested. She’s reliable, detail-oriented, and never overlooks the little things that make a big difference in pet care. But what makes Lesly truly special is that she doesn't stop at logistics. Without any prompting from me, she makes sure Bucky’s toys are spread out across the apartment to keep him mentally stimulated, and she even plays with him using his favorite wand toy for a good 30 minutes (if not more) during every visit. That kind of care—loving, thoughtful, and engaged—is what makes her exceptional and gives me peace as a cat dad. She doesn’t just “watch” pets; she connects with them because she genuinely cares for the pet's overall wellness. Lesly is compassionate, intuitive, and incredibly dependable. Any pet would be lucky to have her, and any pet parent would have total peace of mind knowing she takes the trust you place in her to see after your best friend. —Christopher B.”
