Dog Sitting in Elmont

“I cannot recommend Mimi enough! She took incredible care of my cat while I was away, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly has a true love for animals. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which made me smile every day and reassured me that my cat was happy, relaxed, and well looked after. My cat can be a little shy with new people, but she warmed up so quickly to Mimi, which says a lot! I came home to a very content cat and a spotless home. Thank you so much for going above and beyond — I would absolutely book again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter.”

About: I am a med student student who loves animals. I have been dog-sitting since I was a freshman in high school. I started off caring for an elderly dog who had a difficult time walking. I have also worked with a dog who had a limp due to an injured leg and needed to be given medication on time. With each time I sit, I give a summary at the end so that you can also know what your furry friend has been up to. Along with all the dogs I have worked with I also own an adopted dog. My family and I adopted him in my sophomore year of high school. He has taught me to be very patient and aware of his needs. I enjoy baking peanut butter cookies to feed him and have baked them for other clients. I am a great sitter because I will care for your dog as if it is my own. I will attend to his or her every need along with baking him/her treats. Something I can provide that others may not be able to provide is long walks along the National Mall. I am a dancer and enjoy going for runs. If a dog is able to, I would love to go for a run with him or her. I am a good sitter because I provide care that exceeds one's expectations. I have school for 2 hours on most days. Therefore pet care fits into my schedule easily. I enjoy going on walks which provide the perfect exercise for dogs. I also like baking and I tend to bake treats for my pets. I don't have a fence, however, I am at my desk when I am working. So I will be able to provide constant company to your pet. I love to go on walks and will take the pet as often as they need. I do not have my own yard, however, I do have a small fenced-in area I can take the dog for play time.

About: I adopted a feral from my backyard and made it into a house cat! I also have experience cat sitting my neighbors cat and animals. I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand the dynamics of having multiple cats at home. I am a teacher with summers off so I have plenty of time to cat sit. I am free most afternoons as well for pet care needs. I have my own home so there is enough space for all the cats to enjoy. They have three floors to roam around freely without having to worry about getting along with each other.

About: Hello! We are RuthAnn and Brandon, a husband and wife duo of lifelong dog lovers. We know that your dog isn’t just a pet… they are FAMILY! That’s why when your pup stays with us they aren’t just “guest dogs” they become a part of our family too. Plus there’s two of us so this means TWICE the love and attention of a regular sitter :) A little bit about us: We are the proud “aunt and uncle” to our family dogs, West and Sadie. We’ve added them to our profile so you can get to know more about them there. While they don’t live with us they visit us often and they are very friendly, so if they happen to be over during your pups stay, that just means more friends to play with! I am currently a nursing student in my last semester and my husband works in sales! So one of the biggest perks of booking with us is that our schedules are flexible. At least one of us is always home. So your pup will have constant companionship, potty breaks and plenty of belly rubs thought the day. We also have a large fully fenced yard that’s perfect for zoomies or a game of fetch! We want you to have total peace of mind when you book with us, so we offer meet and greets prior to booking, as well as regular updates, photos and videos of all the fun your dog is having. We can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Seamlessly because we are home based and flexible. Between the two of us, your dog will have constant supervision and a routine tailored to their needs! We live in a fully fenced home so your pup has full access to a safe fenced yard for supervised play of course. Because Brandon and I are home, your pup gets a perfect balance of activity and rest. We follow your specific feeding and medications to a T (we know how important this is) and we love to provide plenty of belly rubs and cuddles on the couch. We keep a tidy dog proofed home and we keep fresh water available at all times!! We are a team that’s big on communication so you’ll receive daily updates with photos and videos so you can see exactly what your baby is up to. If your dog enjoys company, we love to facilitate play, if they are on the shyer more timid side and prefer one on one time, we can accommodate for that as well.

About: I've taken care of a series of dogs from a Jack Russell Terrier, to a Pit bull, to a Husky and Pit bull mix and enjoyed them all. All of the dogs have stayed overnight and their owner are more than happy. I recently had a dog who it was his first time away from his owner so I had to build his trust. Within 24 hrs he was comfortable, jumping around with me, licking me, and making sure I was always near him. I tend to keep the owners up to date with pictures or videos if they would like and they always come back. I am a college student who works from home part time. Outside of that, I go to the gym and attend zoom meetings for my extracurricular activities. This gives me a lot of time to dedicate to the dogs and make sure they are well at all times. I have a fenced yard and security cameras at both the front door and back door as do all my neighbors. A variety of treats are always available for trust and training purposes. I make sure that someone is always home so your dog isn't alone, although I'm more than likely at home.

About: I have taken care of dogs for 15 years. From puppies to seniors, Dachshunds to Pitties. I’ve owned my pit for 15 years and I adore him with my life. I have dog sat for a whole week even commuting to and from work to make sure their pup was safe and healthy. I have dealt with all the beautiful and not beautiful moments with my furry friends and I will always make sure to take care of them and make them feel at home with me. I am currently working full time at a doggy boarding facility and get my schedule a week in advance. I will make sure that the week ahead is confirmed for anyone who needs me. I make sure to continue the schedules my clients supply to me. I have a dog with a very specific diet, so I will be sure your dog gets all their meds and proper food so they stay in great health! I also am active so long walk and play time are no stranger to me! If your dog is more mellow I will match their energy and pace so they can feel comfortable and secure. I am Dog CPR certified and Dog behavior certified, so I am able to work around all personalities!

About: I’ve had numerous cats, dogs, birds and a rabbit! I love animals and the unconditional love they give in return. I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your babies while you are gone and give you the piece of mind you are looking for. I’m retired and have plenty of time to play and check on your fur baby! I adore animals and will love yours as much as I love my own! Currently I am offering services in your home only as I have a high energy puppy in mine. If your dog also is high energy and wants/craves stimulation with a like minded pup, I’d be more than happy to see how they get along! My home has a fenced in yard as well as a doggie door, and my dogs go on numerous walks per day.

“Keoma is amazing. She’s watched my cat twice and each time she gives really helpful reports and makes sure everything is taken care of. Would 100/10 recommend! 🤗”

About: Hi, my name is Mya, and I am a 32-year-old pet care professional with three years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Working with animals over these last 3 years has always been something that brings me a sense of purpose, and I take pride in being someone pet owners can trust to care for their pets with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. My experience began while working with a professional dog boarding service in New Jersey, Suite Pups, where I gained valuable skills in daily pet routines, feeding schedules, and maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for dogs staying away from home. That role helped me understand how important consistency and structure are for pets, especially when they are in unfamiliar surroundings. I learned how to keep dogs calm, monitor their behavior, and respond quickly to their needs. I later expanded my experience while working at a doggy daycare facility in New Jersey, where I cared for dogs in social group settings. In that environment, I developed a strong understanding of canine body language, play behavior, and safe supervision practices. I became confident managing dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I learned how to create a balanced environment where dogs could socialize, exercise, and feel secure. As a dog walker and pet sitter, my approach is centered on patience and respect for each animal as an individual. I believe every dog has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to understand what works best for them. Some dogs enjoy long, active walks, while others prefer a slower pace and extra reassurance. I adjust my care style to meet their needs while always prioritizing safety and positive experiences. Reliability and communication are very important to me. When a pet owner trusts me with their dog or their home, I take that responsibility seriously. I follow instructions carefully, maintain a clean and organized environment, and provide consistent updates so owners always feel informed and confident. My goal is to build long-term relationships based on trust, professionalism, and dependable service. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting services with flexible availability to accommodate different schedules. Whether you need regular walks during the week, care while you are traveling, or occasional help during busy days, I am committed to providing dependable and compassionate care. When house sitting, I make sure to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort level, and overall well-being, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos throughout the day so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is safe and cared for. Above all, I genuinely enjoy working with animals and creating a calm, nurturing environment for every pet in my care. I treat each dog like family and approach every visit with patience, responsibility, and kindness. If you are looking for a dependable and caring pet care professional who will prioritize your pet’s safety and happiness, I would be honored to help care for your furry companion. Pet care is an important and consistent part of my weekly routine, and I make sure to structure my schedule in a way that allows me to provide dependable and attentive care. I work full time during the weekdays, which has helped me develop strong time management skills and a reliable routine. Even with a full-time job, I intentionally set aside dedicated time for pet care because it is something I truly enjoy and take seriously. During the week, I am available in the evenings, which allows me to provide services such as dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and evening check-ins. I understand that many pet owners have busy work schedules, late meetings, or unexpected commitments, so I make it a priority to be available during those after-work hours when pets often need attention, exercise, or companionship. My evening availability is consistent, and I plan my time carefully to ensure I can arrive on schedule and give each pet the attention they deserve. Weekends are when I have the most flexibility, and I am fully available for a wider range of services. This includes longer walks, multiple daily visits, overnight care, and house sitting. Because my weekends are open, I can dedicate more time to maintaining routines, providing enrichment, and making sure pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I also use weekends to focus on building relationships with pets, understanding their personalities, and giving them quality time and care. I am very organized with my schedule and make sure to communicate clearly with pet owners about availability, timing, and expectations. I believe reliability is one of the most important qualities in pet care, so I always plan ahead and allow enough time to travel, complete visits properly, and handle any unexpected situations responsibly. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable care that pet owners can trust. Overall, pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have intentionally built my schedule around being available during evenings and weekends. This balance allows me to maintain my full-time responsibilities while still dedicating meaningful time and attention to the pets in my care. I take pride in being dependable, flexible, and committed to making sure every pet I care for feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my main priority is always to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own environment. I understand that pets are typically happiest when their daily structure is consistent, so I take the time to carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs, and any specific behavioral notes. Before any stay or ongoing care, I make sure I fully understand the pet’s routine, preferences, and personality. I pay close attention to details such as how they behave during walks, what triggers anxiety or excitement, how they interact with new people or animals, and what helps them feel calm and secure. This preparation allows me to provide care that feels familiar to the pet rather than disruptive. During dog walking services, I focus on giving each dog a safe and enjoyable experience that matches their individual energy level and comfort. I allow dogs to explore at their own pace while still maintaining control and awareness at all times. I do not rush walks or rely on force; instead, I use patience and calm guidance to ensure the dog feels relaxed and confident. I also stay attentive to surroundings, leash safety, and body language to prevent stressful or unsafe situations. When providing drop-in visits or in-home care, I make sure each visit is structured but still warm and engaging. I handle feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, cleaning up after pets if needed, and spending quality time with them through play, attention, or companionship. I understand that some pets may feel anxious when their owners are away, so I focus on creating a calm presence and giving them reassurance through consistency and gentle interaction. If I am house sitting, I treat the home with the same level of respect and responsibility as I do the pets. I keep the environment clean, follow household rules closely, and ensure the pet’s routine continues without interruption. I monitor behavior closely to make sure the pet is eating, drinking, and behaving normally, and I respond quickly if anything seems off or requires attention. I also make it a priority to keep the home secure and organized throughout the stay. Communication is a key part of my care style. I provide regular updates to the pet owner, including messages, photos, and general check-ins so they always feel informed and reassured. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, especially when you are away, so I make sure to stay transparent and responsive at all times. Overall, my approach to pet care in a client’s home is centered on respect, consistency, and attentiveness. I aim to create a calm and positive experience for each pet while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being cared for responsibly and with genuine attention. Whether it’s a quick visit, a walk, or overnight care, I treat every pet like an individual and every home with professionalism and care.
