“Amanda was great with our kitties while we were away on vacation! She sent lots of updates with photos/videos and was very respectful of our space. Amanda went above and beyond during meal times as our kitties need to be separated and can be picky eaters. I would highly recommend Amanda for any of your pet care needs!”

“Kimberly house sit our puppy and did a wonderful job! You could tell she cared greatly for the pup and gave them plenty of attention. She communicated well and we highly recommend!”


“This was our first time leaving our dogs with a sitter and also the longest we had ever been away from them, so we were understandably a little nervous. Our dogs can be very anxious and reactive around new people, but by the end of her stay they absolutely loved Staci. Staci was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and proactive throughout the entire time we were away. She kept a close eye on anything that seemed even slightly out of the ordinary and always kept us informed. We especially appreciated the many photos and updates she sent each day, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were traveling. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs and their well-being. We came home to two happy, comfortable pups, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would highly recommend Staci to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter.”

“Kelly was such a great caretaker for our babies and our house! She is so patient and loving; she took excellent care of everyone; and she gave us frequent photos and updates while staying at our house. We will absolutely ask her to care for our pets again!”

“This is atleast the forth time Anthony And Melanie have stayed at the house during our trips taking magnificent care of Ollie. The are kind, pet knowledgeable and Ollie adores them! No worries when they are here looking after Ollie. Barbars and Frank Navetta”

“Melissa is simply amazing. We have re-booked her over 10 times for home visits and home sitting our pet, Scott. We all were going on an international trip of ~10 days and we were worried since this was the first time we using someone’s services to stay at home and take care of Scott. Punctuality is Melissa’s virtue and Scott was absolutely comfortable with her. All those 10 days, we were very peaceful and Melissa ensured, with pictures and videos of Scott, that we were always in touch! A very big shout out to Melissa for a fantastic service!”

About: I’ve always possessed a deep love for animals and have grown up around pets my entire life. I have several years of hands-on experience working at a grooming salon, where I assisted with bathing, feeding, and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters, which helped me better understand dog behavior, body language, and each pet’s unique emotional needs. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I would be honored to care for your furry family member like they’re my own! 🐾 I recently graduated and am taking a gap year, pursuing additional courses as an aspiring physician assistant and working part-time in healthcare. My schedule is very flexible throughout the week, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets. I’m generally available most weekdays and weekends, except Thursdays. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to body language, feeding schedules, medications if needed, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Hands down best dog sitter I’ve ever had. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my baby with anyone else. I received photos and updates throughout the day and the experience with dogs was unmatched. Thank you! Will definitely use again!!!”

“Jess was wonderful with our golden retriever! She was prompt, efficient and communicative which eased any worry we had. I would definitely recommend Jess for any dog service you need!”

“Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️”

“Asher did a great job taking care of our 5 year old lab while we were away for the weekend. We returned to a happy dog and a well cared for house. I highly recommend him and plan on using him again.”

About: I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who genuinely loves spending time with dogs of all kinds. My neighbors and family members have often relied on me taking care of their dogs while they’re away which gave me experience in being attentive and patients to different dogs needs. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, some exercise, or just a little extra attention during the day, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I am currently working part-time so I am super flexible to work with you and your dogs schedule and routine. Whenever you need me I can try to accommodate you! In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while giving their pet plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure pets get enough outdoor time, stay hydrated, and feel relaxed while their owner is away.

“Kathy knows her business and has a natural connection with dogs. Our little Chihuahua mix is very shy with strangers, but Kathy gave her a "massage" that immediately won her over. We were very comfortable knowing Kathy was taking care of our dog and two cats for the holidays. Highly recommended.”

About: I am a full time employee in an assisted living. I had my sweet dachshund for 17 years, and caring for her through her senior years taught me how to care and keep senior pets happy. Now I have a happy, energetic bernedoodle and two adorable bunnies at my parents house and always miss now that I am away. I I have been around both small and large dogs all of my life. Growing up I constantly house sat, fed and watered pets while my neighbors were away for pocket money. I look forward to becoming your dog’s new favorite sitter! I have work till 5pm and then the rest of the day I have time to take care of your pets. When I lived with my pets I would let them out in the yard in the mornings and as soon as I would get home. I made sure to give them attention and affection everyday. I have dealt with senior dogs and am well aware of their limits. It is my promise that I will make any dog of any age as comfortable and as happy as possible.

About: While I’ve never owned a dog, I have worked as a dog sitter and walker since I was a kid, and I’ve been in and around dogs my whole life. I also have in-depth experience with other animals including rabbits, lizards, snakes, gerbils/mice, rats, fish, frogs, but especially cats. I volunteered at a cat shelter administering meds and working with the high needs and feral cats. I am a graduate student so I have a very flexible schedule outside of Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I can stay at any house within 30 minutes of stony Brook university for as long as you need. I like to get the basics out of the way first; walk, food, water, meds and other maintenance (litter-box, pet related cleaning ect). I love to send a cute photo of your pet(s) to you every day to ensure both your peace of mind and help build that library of cute photos! Even for “drop-in” sitting, I will spend most of my day working/relaxing in the home around them, intermittently playing with them or letting them outside (if relevant). I since I grew up around so many pets, I very naturally am always aware of what your pet is up to in and around me, often talking to them directly (as if they understand). Especially for drop ins, I try to simulate them having you still there/they have not been left home alone and overall want to make them feel less lonely. Of course I will adjust this as necessary regarding specific anxious attachment concerns! For dog walking, if you’re willing to let me drive your dog, I love taking walks in parks or along a beach! I would love to “double dip” and take care of any other pets you need taken care of, I have experience across the animal kingdom (rodents, reptiles, amphibians, fish!) or any minor tasks you need done like watering plants or bringing in mail/packages! Things like packages or feeding fish are fully included in my rate, but I might request a small fee increase ($5 max) depending on the magnitude. For example if “water the plants” involved 20 different exotic plants with specialty watering techniques or if feeding the fish also included changing their tank water. Overall my only concern regarding safety/trust and environment is that I am not comfortable with aggressive dogs. Even if they are only trying to intimidate me at first, I am overly cautious around aggressive dogs which impedes my ability to provide them the care they deserve. (This is mostly due to an experience as a child while taking care of my grandparents dachshund where another dog tried to attack her so I picked her up and the other dog ended up biting my arm).

About: I’ve always had animals in my life and taken care of dogs and cats since I was little. There is nothing quite like having a pet; nurturing it yourself, forming that special bond and learning all those quirks that make each animal special. My own dog Maxie is very social and even at 10 years old is super playful. I wanted to be a pet sitter because I enjoy being around animals and taking care of them. It always makes my day meeting a new dog. I am comfortable with any kind of breed and any age. My hours are flexible and I have over 20 years experience. I am a teacher, I generally work from 7-2 but I available before 7 to make sure they are well fed. I can also come back on my lunch breaks to make sure they get some play time and need to go for walks as well as anytime after 2:30. I am also available on Saturdays and most Sundays. I would bring toys and treats for your fur baby so that they feel comfortable with me. I would ask their owners what their routine is and if they have any medical concerns I should be aware of. I would send them pictures of their pets throughout the day and keep their owners regularly updated on how they are doing. I normally walk my dog 3 times a day and feed him twice a day ( morning and night ) with snacks in the middle of the day with plenty of water and potty breaks. I would be doing the same things too. I usually play with my dog first thing when I get home and before we go to bed. I would do the same things too when I pet sit.

Emma and Trent were amazing sitters. They took great care of my senior dog which meant tricking him into taking medication. Emma took him on adventures to the tulip festival and softball game which by the photos she sent I could tell he was so happy. She also won over our skittish cat who is usually afraid of strangers. Best of all we came home after 10 days to a pristine house. Thank you Emma and Trent!

Kelly did an amazing job taking care of my 10-year-old Frenchie, Little Dragon (Cookie). She was very communicative throughout the visit and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Cookie has a specific routine and some care needs, and Kelly handled everything with attention and care. I could tell Cookie was comfortable and in good hands the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the level of responsibility she showed. I would absolutely book with Kelly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.

I’ve used Alexis multiple times to take care of my three dogs, each with their unique personalities. She consistently does an excellent job while we’re away. Alexis is always professional and respectful of both the dogs and the house. Working with her is always a pleasure!
Our first pet sitter backed out at the last minute before our holiday vacation and Lauren was able to house sit and watch our babies without issue. She kept in touch with updates the whole time and tended to some other needed tasks around the house while we were gone. She was a lifesaver and I totally recommend using her! She gave our pets the attention and affection they needed while we were away.
