Pet Sitting Great Kills

About: I have three years of experience dog sitting and walking, along with personal experience caring for both cats and dogs of my own. I have also successfully trained my youngest cat to do tricks such as sit, stand, and “say hi.” Through my pet care experience, I’ve worked with animals of different ages, sizes, and needs, including senior dogs who required extra patience, careful feeding routines, and slower-paced walks. I am also comfortable handling larger dogs, as well as dogs who may need extra support on walks due to special needs, mobility challenges, anxiety, or age-related limitations. I always make sure to adjust my care to each pet’s comfort level, personality, and routine so they feel safe, supported, and well cared for. I am available Monday through Friday and some weekends! I update my calendar regularly so that the weekends I’m free will be up and easy for you to see, but of course, feel free to reach out if you need a sitter or walker in a pinch and I will always try my best to fit you in. 30-Minute Dog Sitting Drop-In: I stop by to make sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and cared for with fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. Here, is when I’d administer any oral medication (or extra aid based on requests) for your dogs. Every visit is tailored to each dog’s routine and personality making it an experience they won’t forget! 30-Minute Dog Walk: During our walk, I make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, sniffing time, and positive engagement while following their preferred pace and routine. I also provide fresh water if needed, reinforce good leash manners, and ensure they return home happy, safe, and content. 30-Minute Cat Sitting Drop-In: I provide your cat with fresh food and water, a tidy litter area, and the right mix of play, treats, or quiet companionship. From social butterflies to independent observers, I tailor each visit to their unique style and can administer oral medications or inhalers when needed.

“Abigail was excellent with our dog. She was always on time and made sure Hazel got lots of exercise and attention when she visited. She listened to our needs and made sure to follow everything we asked of her and kept Hazel's routines as close as to what she was already used to. Our dog loved her and we will def be using Abigail again.”

About: I have taken care of my neighborhood dogs for the past few years. I have also been setting up occurring dog play dates around my neighborhood and dog walks. I am currently working remotely and am pretty flexible when it comes to walking dogs or stopping by for a drop-in visit. I am available Mondays to Thursdays and occasionally over the weekends as well. I regularly walk my dog Bandi; and create a safe and inclusive community by setting up dog play dates with the dogs in my neighborhood.

“Alexis was wonderful with my dog and cat. She met them a week before. My dog instantly got along with her. Alexis has a very kind and caring aura to her that my pets picked up on and were comfortable with her right away. My husband and I will be reaching out to her for any future trips.”

About: I’ve raised my own dog since he was a puppy, so I know exactly what dogs need at every stage. From early morning walks to keeping them entertained and fed, it’s just part of my daily routine. I didn’t just own a dog I grew up with him. Your dog will get the same attention and care I give mine every single day. Dogs get a morning walk around 10–10:30am, then they’re free to relax in the living room or hang out in the fenced backyard. Once it cools down in the evening I take them out again around 6–7pm. During the day they have access to the backyard for potty breaks whenever they need it. Before bed there’s one last walk around 11–11:30pm so they’re settled for the night. I have a fenced backyard so dogs can roam and play safely without any worry. I own a friendly dog myself so your pup will have a buddy to hang out with. We’re in a house so there’s plenty of space to move around and get comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the furniture I want them to feel at home, not like they’re in a strange place.

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!

“We truly hit the pet-sitter jackpot. I hesitate to leave this review for fear that Tammy will become so beloved across Rover she will no longer have time for us! From the moment we met Tammy, it was clear our cats were possibly in better hands than our own (honestly, they seemed a little disappointed when we came back). Updates were consistent, thoughtful, and often included photos that looked like they belonged in a pet lifestyle magazine—somehow capturing both chaos and cuteness in equal measure. Our home was cared for, our girls were happy, and we’re fairly certain they learned better manners while we were gone which raises some questions about our own management style. What really stood out was the genuine care and attention—this wasn’t just “checking in,” it was full-on VIP treatment. Visits weren’t rushed, playtime wasn’t optional, and every detail was handled like it mattered (because it does). If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and clearly loved by animals, stop looking—you’ve found them. Just be warned: your pets may start expecting this level of service from you afterward. I still haven't mastered Tammy's double-Churu-dispensing skills, and the judgment from our girls is palpable.”

“Noelle and her husband Victor did a phenomenal job with my two kitties again! I had left very specific instructions and they were followed to the T! They took care of them like they were their own! Fed them, played with them, and gave them plenty of love, even my skittish boy came out for them! I will be rebooking Noelle again in the future!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I truly treat animals like family, and I know how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable and updated while they’re away. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their normal routine. I’m dependable, communicative, and pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs — whether that means extra playtime for energetic dogs, patience with shy or anxious pets, or a slower pace and gentle care for senior dogs. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I’m used to planning my days around feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and consistency they need. I care for animals every day, including feeding and looking after stray cats in my area, so caring for pets feels very natural to me and is something I’m committed to year-round. I enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and giving pets companionship, exercise, and comfort while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and sleep schedules closely so pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship — not just the basics. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always know how their pet is doing. For dogs, I focus on safe walks, play, bathroom breaks, and making sure they get enough activity and affection based on their energy level and personality. For cats, I understand the importance of patience and routine, especially with shy or anxious cats, and I make sure litter boxes, feeding areas, and water stay clean and fresh. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and comfort and will always let owners know right away if something seems unusual. My goal is for pets to feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. 🐾

“Nervana was wonderful! My dogs require medication 2x a day and she ensured they received everything they needed. The pictures she sent at each visit put my mind at rest. Thank you!!”

About: Hello fellow animal lovers. I am a Veterinary Technician with over 20 years of experience for caring for hundreds of dogs, cats, birds and any kind of animal you can think of. My husband Andres is also a vet tech with over 15 years of experience and he helps me take care of any of the pets I watch. I used to mainly watch dogs in my home but since Covid we had a baby and she is allergic to dogs so I can't board in my home anymore which makes me very sad. Hopefully my daughter will grow out of her allergies eventually because we really do miss having dogs in our home and she loves dogs too. So now I can only do drop in visits at your home for any type of pet. I am currently not working and am a stay at home Mom but my daughter is in school now so I can do drop ins during school hours and then after my husband comes home from work in the evenings. I have dedicated my life to caring for and helping all animals and I have loved every second of it. I have experience with every age, breed, species and medical problem. I have years of experience of caring for any illness, physical and behavioral problems and administering any medications or medical treatments necessary. I have had many dogs, cats and other small creatures of my own that i have loved and cared for over the years as well. I love taking dogs out to play and bringing them to the park or wherever they enjoy going to the most. I have a car and can travel to any part of Staten Island. Nothing makes me happier than spending time and playing with as many little fur babies as i can. You can set your mind at ease knowing that experienced, caring veterinary technicians are caring for your precious baby while you are away.

I can care for your pet in your home and drop in 2-3 times a day to feed them, walk them or let them out in your yard. Depending on the time of day I can stay awhile to play with them and give them the lovin they are missing from you while you're away. I know pets can be afraid sometimes with new people and I like to take my time to show them that they can trust me and I will love them as much as you do and help ease their fears if they have any.
