Dog Sitting in Centerport

About: My name is Alex and I would love to care for your furbabies as if they were my own! I host one family at a time (up to three pets from the same family). This ensures a premium experience for your pet that is calm, friendly and enjoyable. I do not have children or any pets of my own-this way I am be able to maintain a stress free environment for your pet to avoid any anxiety or nervousness around children or new animals. It is my job to put you and your pets at ease while you are away or busy. I want to ensure a stress free experience for all. 🐾 I will always be around to supervise the animals while I petsit! I offer a happy and calming experience for your pet in which they will enjoy lots of attention and cuddles/playtime from me or naps and comfort time and relaxing music should they desire. I’ve taken care of a number pets throughout my life. I grew up with small terriers and had fish too. Friends animals were always like my own. I adopted my beloved cat Calvin when I was 21 and in December 2022, 11 years later, he passed away leaving a hole in my heart. He had many health problems such as asthma and IBS, for which he was on several daily medications. This taught me to administer oral medication in pill pockets and use an inhaler attachment for him. I miss being around animals in general now that he’s been gone. I am looking so much forward to being able to provide boarding in my lakeside home. At this time, I’m not able to offer housesitting, very happily offer drop ins house sits and walks! Kindly note: * if your dog has a history of aggression towards people or has indoor accidents frequently I will not be able to host them. *Experience with breeds such as greyhounds, who may need a more quiet atmosphere I am available consistently at the moment as I run a part time home business. 24 hour consistent time with your pet is ensured. If they wish they can also sleep in the bedroom/bed. The fenced yard is big enough to run around supervised and also has tiered retaining walls. I also have a separate area for a cat(s) and a walk in closet style litter box “room”. I have plenty of toys, treats and catnip. At this time, I’m not able to offer boarding, very happily offer drop ins house sits and walks!

“Ava helped us out with a last minute drop in on Labor Day! She was prompt, polite, sent lots of photos, and made sure our dog was fully taken care of. She went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable.”

About: I grew up with dogs all my life, from puppies to seniors I always made sure they always had the best dog life to live. It is important to always be flexible for your fur babies because they are just as unpredictable as humans are. I always make sure to always be attentive to their needs and never neglect them when they need you the most. Dogs as they get older develop their own routines themselves and will make sure their humans are aware of it too which is important to always pay attention. I care for the pets in my home and others by always respecting their boundaries and always making sure they are comfortable and safe first.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities for over 8 years. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, administering basic medications, feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate training reinforcement, and providing calm companionship for anxious pets. I always treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I pride myself on being attentive to each pet’s unique needs and keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. As a current student at New York University, I’m very organized, communicative, and committed to maintaining reliable routines — qualities I bring into every pet care experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make time throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. I’m organized, flexible, and committed to giving pets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening routines, I make sure pets stay comfortable, active, and on schedule. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In both my home and clients’ homes, I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking routines, and any special care requests. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I provide thoughtful, full-time, in-home care where your dog is treated like part of the family, not just supervised. I’m home full-time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, flexible routines, and individualized care based on your dog’s personality and needs. I work especially well with dogs who benefit from a thoughtful approach— whether that’s high-energy pups who need engagement, shy dogs who need time to warm up, or seniors who need a slower, more gentle pace. My focus is always on helping each dog feel safe, settled, and understood while they’re away from home. My space is designed with safety and comfort in mind. I have a large fully fenced yard and take introductions slowly and intentionally with my dog, Winny, who is a playful, happy companion and often helps visiting dogs feel more relaxed and at ease. I create an environment where each dog can settle in at their own pace. I keep my bookings limited so each dog receives the attention and care they deserve— this is not a high-volume setup. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. I also offer flexible scheduling and optional pickup/drop-off within a reasonable distance to make travel days as smooth and stress-free as possible. I’m home all day and can be very flexible with schedules, feeding times, walks, and routines. This allows me to give each pet plenty of attention, enrichment, and reassurance throughout the day so they always feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away Your peace of mind and your pet’s safety and emotional wellbeing always come first. For this reason I send daily updates with photos/video so you can be at ease knowing your baby is being well taken care of. When caring for pets in my space, I have a fully fenced yard and a built in playmate. I do very slow, supervised introductions with my own dog, Winny, who is a very playful, happy girl. If either dog prefers space, I can easily accommodate comfortably separating the pups as needed both indoor and outdoors.

About: I’ve had my furry pet for 12 years before she crossed the rainbow bridge last year. I have cared about pets to a more deeper and emotional extent since I had her.

Pet care fits into my schedule best and I will be down to accept any gigs that will allow me to be flexible. I am very attentive when it comes to my pets needs and I do my best to keep them entertained. I make their day to day look slightly different to enhance entertainment and excitement.

“Megan was so great with my dog! She very kindly agreed to do a meet and greet with my pup, he’s a rescue and can sometimes take a bit to warm up to others. He immediately loved her, no question about it. Megan showed up on time everyday and took care of Balboa with the instructions I provided her.
