Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Fresh Kills, Staten Island, NY

About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog sitter and devoted pet parent with years of experience caring for my own dogs and providing trusted pet-sitting. I’ve cared for my Morkie (Maltese-Yorkshire mix) for 11 years, so I’m very familiar with the needs of small dogs. I also have hands-on experience caring for our Golden Retriever for 7 years, giving me experience with both small and large breeds. Our Golden is epileptic but has been seizure-free for over 2 years, giving us firsthand experience with administering medication, monitoring health, and following strict routines - experience that also helps us care for dogs with medical needs or seniors. As a young, active couple, we love taking energetic dogs on walks and adventures, while also providing calm, personalized care for those who need quiet time or extra cuddles. Every dog has a unique personality, and I tailor my care to their needs, routines, and comfort. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone else. That’s why I provide the same attentive, loving care I expect when leaving my own pets, so you can feel completely at ease. My unique advantage lies in my flexible schedule which allows me to dedicate ample time and undivided attention to your cherished pets. Whether it's quality cuddles, playtime adventures, or leisurely strolls, I'm committed to providing top-notch care tailored to your pet's unique needs. In my home, your furry friends will find a spacious and welcoming environment where pets are free to roam around, an outdoor terrace with secured fencing, and local parks (including a dog park) for exercise. I strive to provide a loving and comfortable atmosphere that makes them feel like part of the family.

About: Having grown up in a household full of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and hedgehogs I possess a lifelong "animal intuition" and a deep comfort level with various species. What truly sets me apart is my hands on experience managing a multi-pet home with my own three cats, which has made me an expert in feline behavior and resource management. Whether it is providing the patient, attentive monitoring required for senior pets or the delicate handling needed for small exotic animals, I am highly adaptable to each pet's unique needs and personality. My schedule is very flexible during the latter half of the week. From Monday to Wednesday, I work as a therapist in Brooklyn. On Thursdays and Fridays, I only have two cases in Staten Island totaling about two hours, which leaves me with plenty of availability from Thursday through Sunday. Caring for animals is a deeply healing experience for me. While I am a huge dog lover, my own home is currently a cat-only household because we rescued three cats from a shelter, one of whom is extremely sensitive to dogs. To ensure her comfort, we decided not to own a dog ourselves, so pet sitting gives me a wonderful opportunity to fulfill my passion for working with dogs. My personal experience with a high-needs, sensitive rescue cat has made me exceptionally patient and skilled in handling pets with various temperaments and specific needs. My approach to pet care focuses on proactive health, hygiene, and emotional well-being. In my own home and when sitting for clients, I prioritize hydration by mixing water and specialized supplements like cranberry powder into wet food to support urinary health, and I ensure a clean environment by scooping litter and washing bowls daily. Most importantly, I understand that pets—especially cats—communicate through subtle, "high-frequency, low-impact" social cues; I provide gentle affection and verbal greetings without overstimulating them, ensuring they feel respected and safe. I treat every animal as a sentient companion, balancing structured routines with the quiet, intuitive interaction they need to thrive.

“I left my dogs to her and went on vacation, she took care of them very good. She was very loving and reliable, I would recommend to everyone!”

About: *DOGS MUST BE GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS AND CATS* (I have THREE CATS and A DOG!!) My times for daycare are 8 am - 6 pm ONLY! (Mon-Fri) if outside this range, I will discuss additional payment. I have had dogs since I was a child. I’ve always had a love and care for any animal no matter the breed or size. During college, I worked at a vet as a daycare kennel assistant where I gained knowledge on the care of dogs. I know how to walk dogs, bathe them, cut their nails, etc. I work from home so I’m able to look over your fur baby! My boyfriend helps me from time to time and will help me look after any animal I have. I do go to the gym every so often so your dog needs to be able to be by themselves at least 1 hour, either crate trained or is able to be out without scratching or destroying anything. I have a fenced yard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I have a border collie mix and 3 cats in my house who are used to being around other dogs and mostly keep to themselves! If needed, my cats are able to be separated from your fur baby but I prefer friendly dogs!

About: He cuidado a todo tipo de perritos desde muy pequeña, mis padres me regalaron mi primer perrito cuando yo tenía tan solo 8 años, mis familiares y vecinos han confiando en mí para pasear y alimentar de sus perritos Actualmente trabajo medio tiempo así que tendré el tiempo suficiente para jugar y alimentar de tus cachorros cuando ellos recién despiertan, sería una mañana productiva 🥰 No tengo disponibilidad en este caso ya que no cuento con patio, pero puedo llevarlos al parque a pasear o puedo quedarme en casa de ustedes

“Oleg was nothing short of incredible. My wife and I were traveling for our wedding and we hadn't used Rover before. Oleg put any nerves we had about leaving our pets alone at ease. He was communicative, caring, and you could tell he really enjoyed playing with the cats. He stayed later than required in all three visits and blew up our phones with pictures and videos. I highly recommend Oleg and would definitely book him again.”

About: I’ve had pet care experience my whole life. When ever anyone in my family needed a pet sitter I was there, from dogs cats and lizards I do it all. If you leave your pet with me I promise you they will get the best care they need. I’m currently working part time so I am free some days of the week but I’m always free on weekends. So just message me and we can figure something out I have a big backyard that’s fenced in so your pet will have a lot of time to run around and have fun when we’re not on walks and I have no other pets in my house at the moment so when it gets too hot we can go inside.

About: I’ve had dogs of my own since I was 5 years old. I currently have two puppies named Bodhi and Utah and have a long history of dog walking/sitting! Some of those dogs are posted on my profile :)) I am currently working full time in insurance. Pet care will be able to fit on my days off, the weekend, and after work! I will always be open to fit in time for pets. I have a fenced yard and security alarms in my house to keep everyone safe. Also, taking care of children has made me very aware and on my toes in different situations.

“Has been going above and beyond to get aquanted with our super anxious pup.”

I am completely free on weekends! I also have most holidays off so I can be available for those days as well :) I will be able to provide plenty of attention to your pet.

“Olivia was a great sitter. Would recommend!”

“Julie is exceptional. . She is a skilled cat whisperer who calmed our two cats during our vacation. One of whom is a feral cat we have fed for 10 years but have never came closer than 10 feet from but the cat felt safe eating with Julie. Julie has exceptional judgement and is contentious. She is completely honorable and reliable. I offer her my highest recommendation and do so without reservations.”

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do it’s something I love. With over seven years of hands on experience, I’ve worked with pups of all ages, from energetic puppies who need structure and play, to senior dogs who deserve gentle care and patience. But what truly sets me apart isn’t just my background it’s how I show up for every dog I meet. I believe dogs need more than just food and potty breaks they thrive on connection, routine, and fun. Whether it’s going on engaging walks, getting in some solid playtime, working on basic training, or just lounging with belly rubs and calm companionship, I focus on giving each dog exactly what they need to feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pet. That’s why I keep you updated, send pics, and make sure your pup is not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoying their time Believe your dog is in great hands. Pet care is a daily priority, including feeding, exercise, and affection, ensuring seamless integration into my routine, prioritizing furry companions' well-being, and with weekly tasks like grooming and vet visits ensuring their well-being. In my client's home, I tailor pet care to their specific needs, providing feeding, exercise, and companionship. Home care varies based on service type and client preferences.

About: I love doing anything when hanging out with my adorable woofy friends—meeting all their needs and sharing my love. I have a 7-year-old poodle whom I love dearly, and I’m excited to meet more woofy friends! I’m currently free and would love to hang out and make new furry friends! I can pop up anytime if needed. I’m available after 9:30 a.m. from Monday through Sunday. I care for pets by following their routines closely. I will need to know their routine first then providing food, fresh water, playtime and walks. Also, lots of love! I ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness whether in my home or my client’s home.

“Sara took such great care of our pets while we were away. She is kind, caring and responsible. She included several photos from each visit and her communication was excellent. I would absolutely recommend her and will be contacting her in the future for sure!!!”
