I'm a 37 year old mostly WFH advertising writer who loves dogs, cats, kids and has plenty of time to hang out with yours! I've pet sat since I was a kid and have always enjoyed helping out owners while getting quality time with a variety of fun pets. I live in Cobble Hill and am very close to several parks and paths where I love to walk. I’ve marked that I'm fine with pets being on the furniture (because who doesn’t love snuggles!) but we’ll enforce any rules you have for consistency.
“Sarah is an absolutely incredible dogsitter! She has watched my shiba inu, Goji, for several years and he is truly obsessed with her. Sarah is kind, responsible, reliable, and highly competent at dog care. We feel lucky to have found Sarah as a sitter and always trust that Goji is in good hands with her.”
Hi there! I'm Eliza. I'm a musician who is looking for additional caregiving work to fill in the gaps. I have over 5 years of experience working with young children in both school and after-school program settings.
“Eliza is the most responsible and sweet pet sitter! They took such good care of my cat and they will be my top pick to catsit in the future! So communicative, reliable, consistent and my kitty had so much fun!”
Hi, my name is Kim, but my friends and clients call me the "fairy dogmother" and the "doggie doula" because of how great I am taking care of dogs (and because of how much I spoil and love them)! A little bit about my background-- I am based in Brooklyn two blocks from Prospect Park. I have over 15 years experience caring for and rescuing high-need dogs with health issues. I decided to open up my home to dogs on Urbansitter after my senior dog recently passed away from end stage renal disease. Through caring for him and others, I have learned to administer subcutaneous fluid as well as oral medication to animals. I specifically have ample experience supporting dogs with generalized anxiety disorder, Cushing's, bladder stones, chronic pancreatitis, allergies, injuries, and so on. While I do have a full-time job that's unrelated to my passion for animals, I mostly work from home, which means I am available during the day for many walks and snuggles for your furry loved one. If you ask any one, they will tell you that they've never met someone who goes so above and beyond for dogs and that your companion will be so well-taken care of. (In fact, my old vet might have asked me a few times to adopt her as well. LOL! 💜) I don't do this for money. I do this because I truly love spending time with dog babies. It brings me the utmost happiness to bring them joy and to know that I'm providing someone else peace of mind while they are away from their loved one.
Hi, I am Yuka and I’m a dance educator based in NYC. I have over 15 years of experience teaching dance for kids (ages 4-17) I love animals, especially cats!
Hi there! I am 23 years old living in NYC working in advertising, looking for babysitting opportunities. I have extensive babysitting experience with children whose ages range from infants to teenagers. I am CPR certified and majored in Human Development and Family Science at Syracuse University where I focused on child development and worked at an afterschool program for underprivileged children for the entirety of my senior year. During my time at Syracuse I was also a member of the division 1 women’s lacrosse team. I love to bake, read, run, and I love kids!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
Laura F., mom of two
