About: Looking for more than just a quick walk or a busy kennel? I provide personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog's personality, age, and energy level. Whether your dog enjoys a neighborhood walk, a wooded trail hike, a sniff walk, puzzle games, fetch, or simply relaxing with companionship, my goal is to make every visit enjoyable, enriching, and stress-free. I have over 14 years of hands-on experience with dogs, including supervising groups of up to 30 dogs in a professional dog daycare and caring for puppy groups under 4 months old. For more than five years, I also organized dog hikes throughout Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT, giving dogs a safe, structured, and fun way to exercise and explore. My experience is strongest with Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Doodles, Cavaliers, and other friendly companion breeds that thrive with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship. While I welcome many different breeds, I always schedule a meet-and-greet first to make sure we're the right fit for each other. My own Golden Retriever, Kobi, was my best friend and adventure partner for over 12 years. Together we explored hiking trails, beaches, kayaking trips, road trips from Maine to Florida, and countless daily walks. He taught me that every dog is an individual with unique needs, and that is exactly how I care for every dog I meet. I believe many dogs are happier with personalized care than large-group environments. Over the years, I have learned to read canine body language, recognize stress signals, manage different personalities, and create a calm environment where dogs feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, oral medications, and dogs that simply need extra patience and attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and is just a five-minute walk from beautiful wooded trails. I intentionally keep boarding and daycare small by accepting only one guest dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so every dog receives plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and individual attention. I also have a playpen available for puppies and young dogs who benefit from structured rest time. My apartment is on the second floor, so dogs should be be comfortable using stairs. While living in England, I helped care for a Golden Retriever, and later in Spain, I cared for a Yorkshire Terrier. These experiences, together with years of owning dogs, leading dog hikes, and working professionally in dog daycare, have given me experience with many different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. My approach combines practical experience with a calm, patient mindset. I am certified in Reiki and Emotion Code energy work and believe dogs thrive when they feel safe, understood, and respected. While every visit focuses first on your dog's physical needs, I also pay close attention to their emotional well-being. Services I offer: • Dog walking • Adventure walks and hikes (up to 2 hours) • 30-60 minute drop-in visits • Puppy visits and enrichment activities • Limited home daycare • Limited boarding for approved dogs For everyone's safety and comfort, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting new clients. I look forward to meeting you and giving your dog the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am self-employed as a bookkeeper and real estate agent, which allows me to work primarily from home and maintain a flexible schedule. While I occasionally leave the house for appointments, errands, or property showings, I am able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. This flexibility allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, companionship, and close supervision for dogs staying in my home. I provide a safe, calm, and personalized environment with plenty of individual attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I live just a 5-minute walk from wooded trails for walks and adventures. Dogs have access to a comfortable sofa, toys, and puzzle games for enrichment and mental stimulation. I live in a second-floor apartment, so dogs should be comfortable using stairs. I only accept 1 dogs at a time or 2 from the same family to ensure each dog receives plenty of supervision, exercise, and companionship.

“Hi Julia, thank you so much for taking care of Chippie. I appreciate your updates and the love you’ve shown to her. Everything looks great, and Chippie seems so happy when she sees you. Looking forward to booking with you again!”

About: I’ve taken care of my childhood dog from puppy to senior. I enjoyed training and grooming my puppy and making my senior dog a power bowl. I am a very active person - a hiker, marathoner, boxer, and cyclist, I can exhaust your furry babies however they want! And I particularly have a good sense of reading animal behavior, meaning if your dog needs a therapist, I am a very good listener;) I currently work flexible hours, so I have plenty of time to give your furry babies attention any time of the day. Boarding, walking and house sitting are all welcome weekdays or weekends. Boarding: I am in a 2bd condo with balcony without any pet in a quiet neighborhood. I am walking distance to a lot of trails (paved and non-paved) that your dog can take advantage of. Sitting: tell me your pet’s routine, I will be accountable!

“Lulu loves staying with Samantha- she is treated like a queen!! Samantha sends pics throughout the stay and is always responsive. Lulu is always excited to have her sleepovers at Samantha’s.”

“Blanca was absolutely wonderful with our little guy! He came back so happy and relaxed, which is always the best sign. Her communication throughout was excellent – she was very responsive and always kept us updated. She was also considerate and flexible with our schedule, making the whole process easy to engage with. We'll definitely be using Blanca again!”

“Andrea provides updates throughout and took great care of Watson. She even sent him home with a new toy! We will definitely use her in the future.”

“Jadyn stayed with my 119-pound Bernedoodle for five days, and she was absolutely amazing. She maintained regular communication throughout my trip and sent pictures, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Knowing that she already had experience caring for large dogs made me feel very comfortable from the start. My dog was well cared for, and I could tell he was in great hands. I will definitely be booking Jadyn again for my next vacation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Lovely and patient despite my dog being a lot more work than Irene had agreed to! There are beautiful wooded trails adjacent to Irene’s home and I would not hesitate to recommend the whole family for wonderful dog care.”

“Sara was the perfect choice for Dory while we were visiting town. She was focused on ensuring she understood Dory’s needs before and during her stay. Dory came home happy and tired… and Sara provided us with great reports during her stay and at pickup. We highly recommend!”

“Audrey was fantastic! One of our dogs had an ear infection while we traveled and Audrey had no problem with medication administration. Our flight was delayed by almost a full day and she was so understanding and very accommodating. Her communication was great and our dogs loved their time with her and we would definitely love to have her watch them again!”

“Joe did a great job. Barry seemed very happy when we picked him up.”

About: Dogs have always been integral to me and my family, I grew up with unconditional love they provided and provide to this day. I am very skilled and familiar with attentive care, love and fun they require, especially when away from home during boarding. I have a large house, plenty of room to stretch and play and a fenced in yard for sun basking and more play. Currently, I have a cute Boston Terrier girl (Maya), sweet and great with kids and other pets. Board with us! I am free to board and keep my calendar up to date. Prior meet and greet is preferable, (can be a 10 minute stop over) to ensure our pets get along and you feel comfortable leaving your loved companion in my care. Ensuring attentive care for your pet 24-7 and frequent potty breaks if required. Maya will ensure playful company, with cuddle breaks in between. Your pet is equally important as my pet, with full understanding that he/she will miss you a lot! I will make sure that they feel happy and cared for when in our company, with extra attention while you're away.

About: My background in vet care and animal behavior helps me handle dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’m confident with seniors, shy pups, and dogs that need medication. I give safe walks, follow your routine closely, and keep you updated with photos every visit. I’m home from college for winter break and have a very open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, drop-ins, or longer visits. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they stay on their normal routine with consistent feeding, playtime, and walks. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any medications exactly as instructed. I keep the home tidy, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed. I always provide photo updates and communicate after every visit.

“Our beloved puppies Izzy & Milo had a lovely time with Denise and family and we would highly recommend them. We received lots of photos of our happy dogs and they were in great spirits when we picked them up. Thank you Denise!!!”

“Michael was exceptional with Prince YoYo. It was my first time being away from him and he made me feel comfortable. YoYo was treated like the prince he is. I received multiple pics/video updates daily of their activities, which let me know I made the right decision. When it was time to pick up Prince YoYo I know for sure he was treated well because he was jumping and chasing after Michael. If I need to leave my dog in great hands again, it will for sure be Michael.”
