Dog Sitting in Kings Park

About: I had a cat when I was young which I took care of. Along with the cat, I’ve had various beta fish each living beyond expected life spans. When I was 17-19, I took care of my neighbor’s cat while they were on vacation. I’ve also helped take care of my grandmother’s dog for the past 5 years. I take her for walks and play with her. For the past few months, I’ve been volunteering at an animal shelter where my job is to clean the cat rooms and walk the dogs there. I’m currently a full time college student, but I will be available for breaks and over the summer. During breaks, I’m available anytime during the week depending on what days I’m home. During the summer, I have more open availability with any day being free depending on my internship. I’m very gentile whenever I work with animals, especially pets. I make sure an animal feels comfortable around me before getting them to do something. I build trust in the animal so that I can get them into a crate easily.

“Samantha was reliable sitter and took good care of my cats while I was away. Very easy to communicate with and took on additional house without issue. I will be asking her for her services again.”

About: As a dog sitter, I’m responsible, caring and attentive to each dogs needs. I follow our owners instructions carefully, ensuring proper feeding, exercise, and medication if needed. I keep owners updated with regular check-ins and photos. Most importantly, I truly love dogs and treat each one with kindness and respect ensuring they are happy and well cared for when in my care. Pet care is my full-time job, so it’s a big part of my daily and weekly routine. My schedule allows plenty of time to walk, feed, and play with your dog, making sure they get the attention and care they need. We live in a home with a large fenced in backyard. We have a dog of our own - a friendly, small mixed breed rescue.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities for over 8 years. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, administering basic medications, feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate training reinforcement, and providing calm companionship for anxious pets. I always treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I pride myself on being attentive to each pet’s unique needs and keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. As a current student at New York University, I’m very organized, communicative, and committed to maintaining reliable routines — qualities I bring into every pet care experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make time throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. I’m organized, flexible, and committed to giving pets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening routines, I make sure pets stay comfortable, active, and on schedule. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In both my home and clients’ homes, I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking routines, and any special care requests. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Sarah was great at stopping by and caring for my two cats. I almost think to good, my cats didn't seem to miss me when I got back. Sarah sent photos and spent time with them so they didn't feel neglected. Sarah also went above and beyond by shoveling snow! It snowed while I was away and Sarah cleared the walk way and some of the driveway. Plus she also let the cats have some outdoor time in the snow (they are indoor/outdoor cats so it was good that they got some outdoor time while I was away so things seemed normal).”

“Megan was so great with my dog! She very kindly agreed to do a meet and greet with my pup, he’s a rescue and can sometimes take a bit to warm up to others. He immediately loved her, no question about it. Megan showed up on time everyday and took care of Balboa with the instructions I provided her. She provided me peace of mind that my baby boy was taken care of while I was away! She sent me pictures of Balboa playing in the backyard, which I appreciated.”

“Molly is prompt, kind and a true cat lover. She was sensitive to my needs as well as Priscilla’s. This was important to me because it was my first time having a cat sitter. She is flexible and willing to accommodate small changes in the schedule. I would definitely hire her again.”

Beverly P.

“Heather is amazing. This is the second time we have used her services and this time to dog sit as well as cat sit. Our dogs can take a second to warm up to people but she did a great job! The communication is always quick and I would continue to trust her to look after our animals!”

Amber H.

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girls. They are so excited to see you each time you visit. Reagan shows off with her happy dance and Peaches does the same with her big tail wag. We can’t say enough about your professionalism and how well you care for our girls. They definitely love your company! Thanks again - especially with such short notice. We truly appreciate you!! ☺️☺️”

“Kelsey is great! She really takes the time to learn about your dog and know your pup before taking them out. She has a very calm energy which I think dogs can sense and like! My dog is very sensitive to people’s energies and is fearful of high energy people but Kelsey came in calm and cool and my dog loves walking with her! She provides updates and follows instructions highly recommend!!”

“We needed a dog sitter for our two golden retrievers while our daughter was getting married. We chose Jess. Jess listened to all our requirements and assured us that Gracie and Remy would be cared for, played with and would be exhausted that day. She was right. We loved the pictures she sent us of them having a good time. In fact, although I came home early from the wedding, Jess pulled in right after me and the dogs went to her. We will definitely use Jess next time.”

About: Energetic, compassionate, always ready to play and engage with my furry friends. I understand the importance of a daily walk and how it impacts your dogs health and happiness. Retired teacher, dog lover with availability for daily walks for your dog. I understand their unique needs and emotions ensuring they feel safe and loved. I ensure the environment is safe and provide a comfortable area where a dog can stretch out and have its own space in a quiet area away from loud noises.

About: I have been around dogs for most of my life. I have also volunteered at one of the largest assistance dog organizations for more than 13 years. I typically handle between 20-30 dogs of multiple breeds every week. My responsibilities include socialization, light grooming, and free run with playtime. I'm currently training in transportation and first aid I will provide a safe, fun, and playful environment for you Cherished Canine. My horrendous personal experience with pet sitting has alerted me to the pitfalls of in-home pet care.

“He is the best! Our two big bullmastiff fur babies became so fond of Dimitri. He took care of them while we were away.”

About: I’ve cared for family dogs my whole life and I’m usually the person family and friends call when they need a reliable pet sitter. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all personalities and also have experience administering medication to my own dog, Milo, so I understand the importance of consistency, routines, and paying close attention to a pet’s needs. With Milo, I handle everything from bathing and daily care to teaching basic tricks and maintaining a structured routine. I truly enjoy building trust with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. What makes me stand out from other sitters is the amount of time and attention I can dedicate to your pet. Starting in June, I’ll be home full-time during the weekdays and available for drop-ins and house sitting, allowing me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent potty breaks, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. For walks, I focus on making them both fun and mentally stimulating — not just a quick walk around the block. Depending on your dog’s personality and energy level, walks can include sniff breaks, exploring new routes, light training reinforcement, and engaging activities to keep them mentally enriched as well as physically active. My drop-in visits can include: * Potty breaks * Feeding and fresh water * Playtime and exercise * Snuggles and companionship * Basic routine care and attention For house sitting, I provide overnight stays along with attentive daytime care every 0–2 hours depending on your dog’s needs. This includes potty time, walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, medication if needed, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for in their own home environment. Pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. My own dog, Milo, has a structured schedule that includes walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, training reinforcement, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m very used to planning my routine around a dog’s needs and making sure they feel comfortable, stimulated, and cared for consistently. Starting in June, I’ll be home full-time during the weekdays, which allows me to give pets much more attention and companionship than sitters who may be balancing another full-time job. Because of this, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, consistent supervision, and flexible scheduling for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I especially love building routines that help dogs feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I don’t believe pet care should feel rushed or transactional. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals and paying attention to their individual personalities and comfort levels. Some dogs want long walks and active play, while others prefer slower walks, cuddles, or calm companionship. I adjust my care to fit each pet specifically. Mental stimulation is also something I prioritize because I know it’s just as important as physical exercise. During walks and visits, I like incorporating sniff time, interactive play, and enrichment activities to help keep dogs mentally engaged and happy. For puppies, I’m patient with routines, potty training consistency, and energy management, and for senior dogs, I understand the importance of slower pacing, medication schedules, comfort, and gentle care. One thing that makes me stand out is the level of attention and presence I provide. I’m not someone who simply stops in for the minimum amount of time and leaves. I truly enjoy bonding with pets and making sure they feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away. I also know how important communication is for pet parents, so I make an effort to send updates, photos, and details about how their pet is doing so they can feel reassured and connected. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or overnight care, I aim to make pets feel like they’re spending time with someone they know and trust rather than just being “checked on.” I currently do not host pets in my own home, but I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of your home where they feel safest and most comfortable. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and care. For drop-ins, I provide potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, walks if needed, playtime, mental stimulation, and lots of cuddles and attention. For house sitting, I stay overnight with your pet and provide attentive daytime care including potty breaks every 0–2 hours depending on their needs, walks, feeding, medication administration if needed, playtime, and companionship. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medication to my own dog, Milo, so I’m comfortable adjusting care to fit each pet’s personality and needs. Starting in June, I’ll be home full-time on weekdays, allowing me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent check-ins, and more quality time with your pet than many sitters are able to offer.

“She is wonderful. So reliable, communicative, and caring. I had total peace of mind while I was away knowing she was caring for Maggieour cat. She got her to play everyday which I'm sure she loved. Everything was clean and tidy when we came back. Maggie was happy and healthy and at ease. Thank you so much Adora.”
