Dog Sitting in Locust Valley

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors. I’m skilled in basic training, medication administration, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable nature and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m available for pet care before 9:30 AM and after 4:30 PM Monday through Thursday. My weekends are flexible, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended care based on your needs. I’m happy to work around your schedule whenever possible! I prioritize safety by carefully following each pet’s routine and ensuring a secure environment, whether in my home or yours. I keep spaces clean, pet-proofed, and calm. I build trust through consistency, gentle handling, and clear communication with pet owners. I never leave pets unattended during visits and always monitor their behavior closely. Creating a stress-free, loving environment is my top priority, so pets feel safe, happy, and right at home.

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my home. Currently, my family has one high energy black lab. In September of 2024, I also adopted my first own dog, Millie! I have watched, played with, fed, and walked dogs for many years including family and friends. I am currently in my final year of veterinary school. I also have worked as a veterinary assistant so have first aid and medical skills. I’m in my clinical year of vet school so my schedule varies by which rotation I’m on! Early morning and evening would probably be best for me most of the time. I try to update my availability calendar as often as I can! My home is very safe. There are plenty of paths and green spaces for walking. Your animal would have to get up one flight of steps.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life! Due to my shift schedule as a nurse, I can’t get one of my own just yet! I go on walks a few times a day and would love to have a furry friend by my side during them I’m currently a registered nurse working 3 12-hour shifts. This leaves me home in the middle of the week when everyone else is at work! I have grown up surrounded by dogs and would be sure to make your pet feel comfortable and safe! Walking, playing, whatever is needed to make your pet happy!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds for 10+ years! I have experience with both seniors and special needs pets. I worked full time as a pet groomer and I am a currently Pre-vet medicine student who loves all animals! I am currently working a part-time job so I have a very open schedule! I would love to put some time in for your pets! I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I always prioritize safety, trust and a calm, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them happy and stress free, whether that means walks and playtime for dogs or gentle attention and quiet care for cats. I make sure food, water, and litter or potty needs are always clean and consistent. I will pay close attention to behavior changes. I treat every pet like my own and respect your home, while keeping you updated so you can feel confident your pet is in safe and reliable hands!

About: Hello everybody, I am a young energetic person who works with kids in a daycare center.I have three furbabies myself so I understand the stress of leaving them alone.I know cats are different and some may hide,while others may come out to greet you.It just takes some time for the cat to trust you and cuddle with you.

“Gianna was great! Lots of updates and took great care of our cats. Will definitely use her again.”

About: As a dog owner, I’ve loved taking care of pets for family & friends for as long as I can remember. Dogs unconditional love brighten my day! I work for myself part time with a flexible schedule so i have plenty of time to walk, play, care and love on your fur baby! I will take care of your fur baby like they're my own! i’ll adhere to their schedule, and follow your directions so your furbaby feels loved and cared for just like if you were there.

About: I like to joke that I was “raised by Rottweilers,” because at three months old my parents delivered a litter of rottie pups. We always had rotties growing up until we got into rescuing mastiffs. I’ve been involved in rescue work since I was very young, and caring for animals is just second nature to me. My 7-year-old special-needs pup, Blake, is my heart. He’s been with me since I rescued him as a tiny puppy off the streets of Puerto Rico. More recently, we welcomed Jet, a bouncy heeler mix who keeps us all on our toes with his endless energy! Seeing Blake and Jet as my fur babies means I understand firsthand the patience and attention it takes to care for dogs with very different needs. Anything from managing medical routines to channeling playful energy - I have it covered. I treat every pet like family, because that’s exactly what they are to me. I work full-time from home, so my schedule is very flexible. My dogs get a quick morning walk around Powderhorn, followed by regular potty breaks in the yard and a longer hour+ walk/hike after 3pm. I live in a townhouse community with an unfenced yard that is great for playing fetch and running. Otherwise, as most Jackson locals, I am often on the local trails, or the Snake River Levee, making sure animals in my care get plenty of exercise and socialization!

“Emma was great. The animals loved her. She was very reliable and punctual. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

“Marisa is fantastic!! I’ve booked her twice to watch my pup and he was so happy when I got home. I loved the photos she shared and really appreciate the quick communication (especially when I’m in a pinch and reach out last minute). I highly recommend :) Thank you, Marisa!!”

“Katherine is amazing! She’s so sweet and a lover of all animals. I forgot to make accommodations for our pets prior to an overnight wedding. Katherine responded quickly and put me at ease that my furry friends were in good hands from the moment I met her (it was my first using a sitter and just moved to the area). It was such a bonus that she is studying to be a veterinarian. I’ve recommended her to my neighbors already.”
