House Sitting in Hicksville

“We are so happy we found Sam! She was amazing with our two anxious young dogs and in communicating with us. We went a little overboard on giving her notes about the dogs and the house so that she’d have everything she needed and she quelled our own worries from the beginning with her confident, calming presence. We feel so lucky she brought that energy to her stay with our dogs and would love to book with her again in the future.”

“Remi did a great job house sitting for our 13 year old chocolate lab, Mocha. She was very caring, responsible, prompt, and communicated with us throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”

“We are so happy we chose Cinthya to stay with Scarlett! She did a great job with the multiple needs and numerous medications for our senior dachshund. We hope Cinthya can stay with Scarlett again sometime soon!! Five plus stars!!”

About: Hey! We’re Steph & Brian 🐾 We’re a pet-loving team offering reliable, thoughtful care for all kinds of animals—dogs, cats, birds, lizards… you name it. Whether we’re going for a walk, doing a drop-in, or hosting your pet at our place, we make sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after. Steph has shelter experience and grew up with her collie, Spike—her best bud and the original fetch pro. Brian’s had pets his whole life and brings tons of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. Between the two of us, we’ve cared for animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. We’re fully remote and super flexible—so whether you need someone last-minute or want to schedule something regular, we’ve got you. Feel free to message us or stop by and check out where your pet will be staying! I work remotely and have plenty of time to make sure I can give the attention you per needs. I often go on walks myself am I’m very active. I live close to a few different dog parks as well. Our apartment building has a fenced courtyard. There’s also a dog park not too far from me. I promise to care for your pet the way I’d care for my own!

About: I currently work at an emergency veterinary hospital as a doctor assistant so I can be well trusted with your pets. I’m reliable and pay close attention to details. I’ve grown up with animals my entire life so caring for them has become second nature to me! I currently work full time, however I only work Sunday-Wednesday 8am-6pm. I am happy to take care of your pets before and after work, as well as on my days off I would care for your pets as if they are my own. I’ve grown up with animals my entire life so I’ve become accustomed to taking care of them.

About: I am a (pet) mom to our large cat, Baxter and larger lab mix, Jack! Jack is full of energy and love which allows me to tackle any mood your pup may be in! Baxter loves being the center of attention and he certainly gets all the love and play time that allows. I am more than happy to get to know your pets and care for them as if they were my own! I am currently a contract working allowing me to have flexibility in my schedule. I usually have availability before 9am, a couple hours for lunch and after 7pm! I have experience with dog crates, harnesses, different collars and gates if those are options for your pup. I have dealt with soft and hard food as well as different supplements.

About: Hicksville/SOB Rd.& OCR... Home FULL TIME, Dogs are in a low stress enviroment. There is a bedroom on the main floor just for dogs who need not climb the stairs, and I will sleep with them too! My yard is fully fenced in a nice neighborhood for walks if requested. I do require a meet and greet prior to sitting your dog to make sure we are a match. Please bring your vet papers of vaccination. I'm home FT Drop off times-flexible Pick up times-Before 1:00 pm, after 1pm you will be charged an additional $25.00 for Boarding. My husband will stay with your dog if I have any errands to run. I will be with your pet as much as possible playing Fetch, Belly Rubs, Snuggling, or just looking out the window watching other doggies walk by or talking to the mailman! I know most of the dogs in my neighborhood from walking my son Mickey. Mickey is super friendly, and cuddly Puggle. He is 10 years old and unfortunately he has limited eye site. He shares, and loves doggies to visit. The reason I do this: I would love 2 dogs, but my husband says there's not enough room on our bed. So having sleep overs fills my need for a 2nd dog. Depending on the time of year along with the weather my husband will walk your dog With Mickey if requested. Bedtime is always on the first floor with me in our guest room,they can snuggle in bed with Mickey and I or curl up in a dog bed in the room. Snacks are given if you allow just bring your own. We have an in ground pool and will personally supervise your dog when the pool is open. If your pet swims, bring their swim vest! Again I do require all vaccines be up to date, and that you have a flea and tick preventive in use of your choice. Please bring that information during our Meet and Greet along with any needs for your fur baby and any questions you may have. Meet and Greet is in my home to assure we are a match allowing us to get acquainted for you to see our surroundings. They are free and can take 15-45 minutes. We will meet according to both our schedules. You can go away on your vacations, or quick day trips knowing your dog is in a happy loving environment. Bring what your dog needs to feel at home, leash, food, their bed/blanket (we have extra beds and dog dishes), favorite toy, or snacks. My house is small but our hearts are big❤️, we have room to make all our pets feel like they are home! I don't like to take more then 3 dogs at a time for sleep overs. That's just enough for me and my husband to stay cozy with your pet and mine. One at a time is preferred. I also administer medication both oral and injected for those needing.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiance Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

About: I’m a devoted animal lover who’s cared for pets of all sizes and personalities. I have hands - on experience with everything from daily walks and playtime to administering medications, special diets, and even helping pregnant dogs through their litters. I love keeping pets happy and engaged with fun activities, training, and mental stimulation. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a gentle cuddle, or teaching new tricks, I treat every furry friend as my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. No matter the temperament or needs, I’m confident, patient, and ready to provide reliable, compassionate care with plenty of tail wags and purrs along the way! Caring for pets is the best part of my routine. I make sure every furry friend gets the attention and care they need. I’m happy to adjust my day to meet their individual needs. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully supervise pets, follow medical or dietary instructions, and make sure their environment is secure and stress-free. I’m experienced with special needs pets, including those with medical conditions, mobility challenges, or anxiety, and I adapt my care to suit each pet’s unique needs.

“Jayden is amazing - she is so responsible and was very loving to my dog. She kept in good communication while I was away - sent photos of my dog and let me know how he is eating and taking "care of business." I highly recommend Jayden and will most definitely ask her back agaiin.”

About: I’ve been raising, helping to raise, and training animals since I was 10 years old! Dozens of horses, dozens of dogs, 6 birds, and 2 cats later, I dare say I enjoy the company of animals more than people. I worked for a company called PupStrut in Manhattan when I was attending college for all 3 years at that school. I provided training and a full hour walk for 3-5 dogs/day roughly 3 days/week. (Sometimes more, sometimes less depending on the client) I’m freelancing and cleaning houses part time currently. I am helping care for my in-laws animals as well. I’d love to help a few other families care for their furry babies! I need a meet and greet with the owner to learn about the ins and outs of a pet’s space, their dietary needs, health issues, personality quirks, level of training, and what training needs they may require. I’m a quick learner and I’m organized to a flaw.

“Joey was a pleasure to work with, it was the first time ever that I left my pup and didn’t cry I felt so comfortable leaving my guys with her, , Joey sent me pictures and videos every day and kept me updated on everything. As for my house Joey was the perfect houseguest. If we could give scores she would be a A+++++++ 10/10 I am most definitely going to use Joey again. If you are nervous leaving your pets when you go away trust me if you use Joey you will never be nervous again. Thank you again Joey for everything that you did and for loving my babies as if they were your own .”

“Brenda stayed at our house for 3 nights and took great care of our two dogs. She kept us informed with pictures and updates on how they were doing which made us feel great while we were away. I will definitely use Brenda’s service again.”

“Kristen watched our two mini-Aussies this past weekend. It was out first time using a house-sitter, and first time working with Kristen, so we were a bit trepidatious. What we didn’t k work but we’re overjoyed to find out is that Kristen literally elevated dog/house sitting to an art form. Over the course of the weekend, she sent us beautiful pictures of our dogs, clearly having a great time with their sitter. We came home to an immaculate house, happy pups and a new friend. Oh, and a pet picture portfolio :). Thanks again Kristen for your care and thoughtfulness!”

Steve M.

“Easy to book with, affordable, accommodating, and sweet. I'm happy I used her to take care of my 2 dogs for a long weekend vacation. Thank you”
