Cat Sitting in East Massapequa

“An absolute pleasure to have watching our babies. She took them both on two walks, even helping to get our dog home when she ran away. Our dogs loved her!! Our one dog doesn’t really like people but loved her and curled up in her lap (which melted our heart!). 100000000/10! We’re so grateful to her and will definitely be booking again.”

“Amy took great care of my dog and cat. I can’t explain what a relief it was to find her. My mini dachshund is 16 years old and I don’t like to bring him into new environments or away from his best friend pelé the cat, so it worked out perfectly. I would highly recommend Amy!”

“Siobhan watched my 2 cats while I was away for a week. She promptly sent a note and pictures after each visit, which gave me a peace of mind while I was away.”

About: I’m an avid animal lover with years of hands-on experience and you can rest assured when your pets are in my care! I’ve worked as a dog handler for an animal shelter and as a professional dog walker and pet sitter before starting my own business. I now proudly operate Wander Paws LLC, my fully insured pet care company, which I’ve been running independently for over six years. All pet care services are delivered personally by me, because your pets deserve familiar care and happy routines. Many of my clients have been with me for years, and I’ve had the joy of caring for several of their pets since puppyhood! Over time, I’ve looked after countless dogs, cats, and other small animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments while their parents are home or away. I’m 27 years old and I am focused on building my business! I truly love spending my time taking care of your pets. And when I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my own pack of pets at home: three dogs (a shepherd mix, a lab mix, and a terrier mix) and five rescue cats😊 I would love to provide all your pet care needs, from walks and playtime to feedings and medication. I’m also comfortable with light household tasks like handling keys, operating security systems, scooping litter boxes, bringing in mail, cleaning up pet messes, and keeping your home safe and secure. I will precisely follow the instructions and routines you provide. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to leave your pets in the care of someone you trust. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, with plenty of love, consistency, and attention to detail. 💛 Flat rate care: I never charge extra for multiple pets or puppies. Medication, feeding, and special routines included. ✨ Don’t hesitate to reach out to schedule a free meet & greet. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! AVAILABILITY: I have a daily schedule of dog walking & pet sitting Mondays-Fridays and I am now accepting new clients! I try my best to be very flexible, so please reach out and let me know what times you might need pet care and I will do my absolute best to accommodate whatever you might need. SAFETY: My clients’ safety, (both pets & people!), is my upmost priority. When going for walks, I will make sure your dog(s) is harnessed/leashed up extremely securely. Most of the time, I will attach their leash to BOTH their collar and their harness so if there is ever a product malfunction, they won’t ever get loose. I will walk your fur baby with my full attention and will not allow them to greet other dogs on their walk unless I am 100% sure that both dogs are friendly. I completely avoid any loose dogs that we might see on our walks to avoid confrontation. When letting your pets in the yard, I will always make sure that the gate(s) are securely closed before letting them out. If you have indoor cats, I will make sure they are safe inside of your home at ALL times. I will only feed your pets treats & food that you provide to avoid any allergic reactions. I triple check that all doors to your home are locked while I take your dog(s) out for a walk and after I leave. I am comfortable using any security systems you might have to ensure that your home is completely secure. If you confine your dog to a space for their safety while you are not home, (crate, room, playpen, etc.), I will also triple check that they are secured in that space before I leave. I will do everything in my power to make you & your pet(s) feel as comfortable as possible. Please communicate any safety concerns you might have with me. Your peace of mind is my top priority!

“Taylor was AMAZING with my baby boy. While she was there to watch my dog max, she also made my cats feel very comfortable as well. Max took to her immediately. I don’t think I’d trust anyone else to watch my babies!”

About: I really care about creating a space where your dog feels safe, understood, and at ease. I like to take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and what they need—whether they’re super energetic, a bit shy, or somewhere in between. I have experience with both active dogs and more sensitive ones, and I try to approach each situation with patience and attention. I’m also very observant, so I tend to notice small changes in behavior or mood and respond quickly if something feels off. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your dog, but to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely supported while you’re away. I also come from a professional background where I’ve managed schedules and worked closely with clients, so I’m organized, reliable, and good at communicating. I'll always keep you updated and make sure everything runs smoothly. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I can plan my days around visits, walks, or check-ins. I keep a flexible schedule, which allows me to be consistent and reliable with timing, something I know is important for pets. I’m available for daily visits, walks, and check-ins, and I always make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need without rushing. I also like to keep routines consistent, so your pet can feel as comfortable and settled as possible while you’re away. I always prioritize creating a calm, safe, and respectful environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I’m very mindful of their space and follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines to walks, litter care, or any specific needs your pet may have. I pay close attention to behavior and surroundings to make sure your pet feels secure, and I avoid situations that could cause stress or discomfort. I’m also careful with doors, leashes, and home safety to prevent any risks. Building trust is very important to me, so I keep communication clear and consistent, with regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Elizabeth was amazing! On time, responsible and kind and was GREAT with my puppy!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in K9 training and management and my genuine passion for working with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m currently studying at SUNY Cobleskill, so I bring both hands on experience and current training knowledge into my care. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, helping with basics like leash manners, crate training, and building good habits, and I’m also very patient with senior dogs, making sure they stay comfortable and safe. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and body language so I can adjust to their needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or reactive. I’m not just there to watch your dog, I’m there to understand them, support them, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m currently on summer break from SUNY Cobleskill where I study K9 Training and Management, so I have a lot of free time and flexibility in my schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. Since working with dogs is something I’m passionate about and studying for, I enjoy making it part of my daily routine and making sure each pet gets the care, exercise, and attention they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medication if needed, and any specific care the pet requires. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise depending on their energy level and personality.

“Charlotte was great with our three dogs! Super friendly and very easy to work with! We will be using her again :-)”

“Rae was professional and friendly! She took great care of my pups. I definitely recommend her!”

“Having Lauren care for my cats gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. With each check in she sent us photos and was always available if we should have any questions. I will certainly be reaching out to her again to check in on my cats for any future vacations.”

Barbara S.

“What a pleasure it was meeting Karissa to care for our pup! She left us updated every day and shared what she was doing on each visit! Can't thank her enough for making our trip stress free! Will definitely contact her for future vacations! Gia also thanks you Karissa for taking care of her every need!! Thanks!?”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 10—mostly golden retrievers growing up, and now I have a 5-year-old corgi named Monty. I work from home Monday through Friday, so I’m always looking for an excuse to take a break from my desk and get outside. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, play sessions, or staying in your home while you’re away to keep your pet company and give them a little vacation of their own. I also love cats and have fostered both dogs and cats in NYC over the last several years. Excited to meet your furry friend! I work from home Monday through Friday, so pets are woven into my entire day, not just squeezed in before and after. I take regular breaks throughout the day and genuinely look forward to getting outside for long walks and fresh air. Having a four-legged companion along makes those breaks the best part of the day. I can accommodate multiple walks, check-ins, feeding times, or playtime sessions on whatever schedule your pet is used to. Whether I'm watching your pet in your home or mine, my goal is simple: keep their routine as normal as possible so they barely notice you're gone. I'm available for overnight stays in your home and am equally comfortable with crate-trained dogs or pets who have free roam. I'll follow your lead on feeding schedules, exercise needs, favorite toys, and any house rules you have in place. Because I work from home, I can adapt my schedule on the fly. More walks on a rainy day when your pup is restless, a quieter afternoon for a senior dog who needs rest. I treat every pet like they're my own, and I'll send updates and photos so you always know they're happy and in good hands.

“Kerry visited my pup last minute 2 times and was amazing. I would gladly use her again anytime.”

Max S.

“Karen was a pleasure! so communicative, and was able to provide updates immediately! appreciate all the pictures as well to see Dusty having fun while I am stuck at work!”

About: I’ve taken responsibility of my own pets in my family for 10 years. Dog sat for my aunt for two years. Grew up with a Border Collie and two Dobermans! Trained my families new edition corgi, chow chow, and kelpie Shepard mix who’s now 2 years of age. I work part time as a college student finishing up my second semester before summer break. I’d love to walk or check in on any furry friends before/after my lectures and final semester!! I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment, following each pet’s routine closely. I respect their individual needs, ensure secure spaces, and give gentle, attentive care with regular updates.

“Our cats are our kids and we hate them being lonely and uncomfortable when we are away. Our newest rescue also seems to not like men so much, so this time when we needed a sitter last minute we reached out to Ella and hit the jackpot!! Ella followed all our directions for feeding etc and kept our house clean while we were away...which isn't easy with 2 cats. Our cats, which can be very shy initially, fell in love with Ella and it put us at ease knowing how happy they were with her and how much they looked forward to seeing her. Highly recommend Ella to take care of your pets. She is very responsible, corresponds with you very well, and loves your pets like her own.”

“Natasha did an excellent job getting our skittish Springer Spaniel to warm up and make friends while we were away. Natasha was able to get Maisie to calm down and relax by just being calm and sensitive to her fears and protective instincts. We plan to use Natasha again.”
