Nobody wants to explain their relationship twice at the vet’s front desk. 10th Muses skips that entirely: this is the queer-vetted list of vets, groomers, and pet sitters across NYC and LA that our community actually trusts. Curated by queer women, trans, and nonbinary members — not by an algorithm that’s never met your dog.
We’re not impressed by "pet-friendly." We want queer-owned, genuinely LGBTQ-affirming, and good at the actual job — no awkward pauses, no wrong pronouns on the intake form, no lectures about your household. That’s the floor, not the ceiling.
Every name below came from a member who’s sat in the waiting room, booked the groom, or trusted someone with their dog’s walk. This isn’t a scraped list — it’s who the community actually calls.
Members submit. We confirm. Providers that stop delivering get dropped, no drama. This list stays current because real people are still using it — not because it once got indexed and forgotten.
A great vet three boroughs away is still a great vet — but so is knowing what’s close. The breakdown below covers Manhattan, Brooklyn, and beyond, plus the LA sprawl, so you can pick convenience or loyalty.
