“Karen is the absolute best. She has been looking after my two cats for a couple of years now. She goes above and beyond every time. My cats both love her - even the super skittish one who doesn’t trust many people. I definitely recommend Karen. She is professional, friendly, and trustworthy. We are lucky to have found her.”

“Colleen is an excellent sitter & great with animals. She made sure both our cats were well looked after & sent us lots of great pictures. I would highly recommend if you need a pet sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of my own and others for more than 15 years. I treat every fur baby like my own and I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love what I do. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine and personality, keep owners updated, and make sure every dog feels safe, cared for, and happy — not just walked. I only commit to services I can fully show up for—so owners can trust that their dog’s needs won’t be rushed or overlooked. My full-time job keeps me structured and dependable, and that reliability carries over into how I care for pets. Living in an apartment doesn’t limit the quality of care I provide—it actually helps me be more intentional and attentive. I create a calm, structured environment and make sure pets get plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation outside the home. I find frequent walks outdoors helps as I love to be outdoor as well.

About: With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, our home has become a second home for countless furry friends. What started as a fun activity with my young son has grown into a true passion we continue to share. Now a spirited teenager, my son still brings the same energy and love to every pet we care for—ensuring each one gets plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. We live in a private apartment in a family-owned three-family house in Lower Westchester. Our home is clean, spacious, and pet-friendly, with a private deck and a small backyard perfect for fresh air and play. We’re also just a short walk from the beautifully updated Yonkers waterfront, where your pet will enjoy scenic strolls and outdoor fun. You won’t find a more dog-loving duo.

Morning and evening walks are part of our daily rhythm, and we make time throughout the day for play, feeding, and cuddle sessions. My teenage son is very involved—he loves helping with walks, playtime, and making sure each pet feels right at home. Whether we have one guest or a few, they’re always integrated into our family life with love and consistency. In our home, pets are treated like family. We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. They have access to cozy spaces indoors, a private deck for fresh air, and a small backyard for outdoor time. We stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special care instructions—to ensure a smooth and stress-free stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure, keeping things as familiar as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to their individual needs while maintaining communication with the owner for peace of mind.

I have a secure backyard that provides plenty of space for supervised play and exercise.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember — from growing up with pets to professionally working with dogs for the past 7+ years. My experience includes dog walking, pet sitting, and hands-on work with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also have professional experience with the ASPCA, where I gained valuable skills in handling, safety, and compassionate care. Working with reactive dogs is truly my passion. I understand that every dog has unique triggers, boundaries, and communication styles, and I take pride in providing calm, patient, and structured care to help them feel safe and confident. I’m especially attentive to body language, stress signals, and individualized routines. I’m currently working towards a future in dog training, and I treat every interaction as an opportunity to reinforce positive behaviors, build trust, and support each dog’s emotional well-being. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule and wide availability, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day, including evenings and weekends. I follow routines closely, prioritize safety, respect boundaries, and maintain calm, clean environments while providing attentive, compassionate care in your home. I will respect anything you set in place, even if it's a song to sing at the end of the night.

“Lili took care of our cat, Mishmish, while we were on vacation. She followed instructions to the T, and our elderly cat, who is usually pretty lethargic and not overly friendly, warmed up to her. We came back to clean litter box, swept floors, and our cat having fresh water and food. We will absolutely work with Lili again when we travel for extended period of time, and highly recommend her to any pet owner.”

Marin is beyond words amazing with our pup! We are so grateful to her for her genuine compassion, care and attention to detail. We feel so safe with her in our home. She is incredibly accommodating, has an expert level of understanding of animals’ needs, behaviors and communication style. It’s been only a short time working with Marin and our entire family and our pup is obsessed with her! Thank you Marin for not just what you do, but also who you are.

Emmanuel is awesome. The buzzer at my building was broken so he stood there until someone let him in- every day during the holidays- while he had five or six other dogs to watch. Above and beyond, and my animals were fed, clean and happy when I got home. I won’t go to anybody else from here on out

Kassidy watched my cat, Oliver, for two weeks and did a wonderful job. She kept me informed every time she checked on him and made sure he was eating and drinking his water. I will definitely rebook with Kassidy in the future! I’m so grateful I found her!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jocelyn went above and beyond to care for our two pups while we were away. Her daily check-ins and photo updates truly put us at ease. We could see how happy, comfortable, and safe our girls were in every picture. She followed all of our instructions closely and was incredibly flexible throughout the entire stay. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and her calm, attentive approach made a world of difference. We’ll definitely be using her again, she’s officially our go-to dog sitter!

I have a 98lb pitbull "breed ambasador" Saint Bully. and his 78lb pitbull baby brother Dover- the- devil (with strangers). He's Extremely terrirtorial and agressive with strangers. Santos has great energy and body language from the minte he arrived, on time, for both meet and greet events with me. Dovie warmed up to him right away. Santos is alert to potential dog parent concerns, hes communicative, responsive to texts, and we worked out a special approach for his first 1-to-1 On the 3rd time I booked him for his first solo, (after two sucessful intros with me) He arrived on time, and it went seemlessly. My dogs are well trained, but theyre 180lbs together and dont make good decisions without alert and proactive supervision that I believe Santos will provide.
