Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I have been a dog sitter, cat sitter, and house sitter for over 20 years. My clients have included Wall Street executives, veterinarians and Broadway actors. I have been entrusted with valuable apartments and belongings. I treat everyone's homes with care and respect, and treat other people's pets as if they were my own. I love dogs and cats, and even though I no longer have a pet, taking care of other people's dogs and cats is the next best thing. They are like my step-dogs and step-cats!

Arlene was easy to communicate with, flexible, and arrived promptly. She was very respectful of our dogs anxiety and waited until the dog was ready to pet her or show affection. She is thorough and made sure our girl had everything she needed at all times. She made sure to give her as many walks as our dog wanted/needed and fed her at our requested times. She also administered medication. It is clear that Arlene loves and respects animals! Highly recommended.

We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter in Arlene. Just before we were leaving, our dog had two have 2 back to back emergency surgeries. Arlene said she was still absolutely comfortable caring for him and she was amazing; making sure he got all his medications, support, love and attention he needed. She was professional, responsive and communicative. She texted me updates and photos everyday with his progress. Arlene gave so much love to our little Watts that she actually slept on the floor next to him since he had to stay in his crate! She went above and beyond and we are so grateful. Our only regret is that she did such a great job, our dog really misses her!! Will definitely be using her services again.

Details: Dog • 1 pet • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Providing exercise • Collect mail • Water plants • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • Two times a day • The pet sitter travels to me

Finding a responsible, caring and professional dog sitter is more than a pet owner can ask for. Arlene not only asked me all the right questions, but also tuned into all of Odin's subtle yet critical (signals) body language. With this, she successfully assisted and aided his every need. Odin is not just my senior canine, but he also has special needs that require 24hr. care and observation. Arlene's compassion and patience not only put all the animals at ease in my home but her professional demeanor was also reflected through the relationships that she established in my home with my fur babies. Arlene quickly established a connection with my dog and assisted him with all of his needs (getting up, re-adjusting,and going potty) as well as administered all of his meds., not to mention cared for my cats as well. If it were not for Arlene, I would not have been able to take my trip with peace of mind. I plan to use Arlene as a regular sitter and Strongly recommend Arlene as a pet sitter/care giver

Arlene was great!!!! Very responsible and I was very pleased and didn't need to worry about my dog while we were away. I have already reserved her for our vacation in February 2017

What a relief it was to have met her!! Being young, sometimes it's hard to plan for everything. Alene took great care of my two dogs and fish. She stayed over night and accompanied them for the time we were away. Left my partner and I feeling at ease with her. Thank you for taking care of our pets!!
